Is there a way to automatically populate a text-box with target object's colour values (CMYK, RGB, HEX, etc.)?

I know there's image metatext, but I'd like to know if it's exclusive for images. When I set up my branding colour scheme I usually come up with about 25 different colours, so it's kind of a chore to go ahead and fill in the Pantone, CMYK, RGB and HEX values for each one of them. Is there an easy way to do this? If not in InDesign, is there a way to do it in Illustrator?
Thank you on advance!

The only problem is it only fills in the RGB values
Looks like the script label is the swatch's actual color values, which can be Lab, CMYK, or RGB (not Hex). The problem with equivalents is which flavor? If you want the RGB equivalent of a CMYK swatch do you mean sRGB, AdobeRGB, ProPhoto RGB, etc., they would all be different.

Is there a way to automatically populate a text box with its text's colour values (RGB, CMYK, etc)?

I'm trying to work a little faster and since Kuler now syncs into CC, I'd like to know if there is a way to colour text from a text box and have this text change automatically depending on the values of the swatch I selected.
It should work more or less like metadata, or variable text: you can customise what value will appear
I'm almost 100% sure the answer is no, but it can't hurt to ask.

The short answer is No. But I see that Ray has given you an option.

Is there a way to automatically resize the text box to fit the text inside, without using the selection tool to resize the corners in Illustrator and Photoshop?

I'm wondering if there is a way where I can quickly resize a text box to fit exactly around the text inside, so pretty much the smallest the text box can go without being too small to fit the text? I know you can do this manually with the selection tool, but is there a button/command that automatically does this in one go?
Thanks

Try this script. Save the page as .jsx the the "Presets>Scripts" AI folder. When you restart AI it will appear in the "Scripts" menu. Select the text block and run the script.
Thanks to Nathaniel Vaughn KELSO for the script.

Is there a way to slice up a text box or box in general?

I was trying to slice up a text box in order to have part of the box reveal the background I can make two separate text boxes and/or color boxes however I want a semi-transparent background color so I am afraid of things not aligning properly or there will be obvious space between the two boxes. exampe of what I'm trying to do.
example of what I'm trying to achieve:

That shape can be created by adjusting the border of the text box {with direct selection tool (white arrow) }. Just add more points {with pen tool} where you want the corners to be.

Is there any way to keep a photo/text box where you placed it after it is checked as inline, I have text wrapping around many photos-Pages seem to move the photos to the middle of the page and that will not do for my project.

I have a book I want to sell as an EPUB when done...only one problem I got the message when doing so: " floating objects aren't supported in ePub format" So I found out by checking inline format that will work but it moves the text box and photo to where it want to go and not where I want it to be...this will not work so how do I make it stay where I place it and still save without the error of floating object issues.... In addition, when I let it go where it wants to go it lets me stay as an ePub and takes me to iTunes producer ( I have my books on iTunes made with iBooks Author) and is this right...I want to make it ready as an ePub not for Apple but for other eBook readers... Can anyoe help? Thanks

I copied text & paisted it and then draged the 3 photos from the file...then clicked on the photo then clicked the inline boxon tool bar nexed to floating one and that is how I did it
I do not know what you mean "cut & paist" how do I get the photo in from my picter folder if I do not drag it to the page in Pages?
I went to my photo folder and copied a photo and paisted the photo on the top left part of the page and it went there but there was no text to the right of photo...I could crop the photo to what ever size but no text to the right of photo...
This is just too big of a mess of a program as it should be easier then this,,,I hav e 300 photos in this project and would have to re-paist them all...that is nuts...
I see the button to the right of inline and floating that has 6 [lace to have the photo but the text does not float around the photo...
If this is what your talking about this very little freedom in my page layout as I need it to let me place it where I need it to be and the wrap the text...
There has to be an easier way to get my books ready for other formats other that Apple's iPad...iBooks Author was way eisier to make ready for iTunes...Love that program!!!
Want my books for sale on all the other formats and was told by Apple Pages whould do it...
I must be be out to lunch or the designers at Apple are ???

Is there a way of automatically synching an Excel document with Numbers on an iPhone?

I have Numbers on my iPhone.   I have placed a couple of Excel files into the File Sharing window for Numbers in iTunes. I sync the iPhone and then I can open up and view the files on the phone.
Now, what I can't figure out is how to have Numbers automatically update the files when I've changed them on my MacBook Pro.
Is that even possible?

No, that is not possible at this time (at least from my own experience). Currently, you can make changes on your iPhone, but in order for you to make changes to the same document on your Mac, you first have to:
     -1) Download the file from your iCloud account
     -2) Make the changes from Excel or Numbers app on Mac
     -3) Save the document in Excel or Numbers
     -4) Then, go back to your iCloud account online (on your Mac), and drag & drop the updated file to iCloud
I know I just said a mouthful, but I agree, that is a lot of extra steps for making a document sync on both your Mac and iPhone.... Hopefully Apple will have a solution for this in the future (where, for instance, a document can be accessed via iCloud directly from an iWork application (like Pages, Numbers, Keynote), and then we are able to make changes to the document, and as changes are made, it automatically updates in iCloud without us making any additional steps, if this makes any sense)....
Hope this helps....

Is there a way to create a scrolling text box on my desktop?

When I watch the news, or ESPN, they always have a scrolling box that gives breaking news or updated scores. I would like that for my desktop, but I want to type what goes in it. I want the box to constantly be on top of anything I'm working on.
I thought this would be easy to find, but all of my research has been fruitless.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen?

Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen? An if-then statement perhaps? I am looking to add over 100 drop down options and would like to have a message automatically pop up depending one which option they chose. Thank you.

Hi,
You would use the skip logic to conditionally show form items based on the selection within the drop-down menu. Here's a link to a description of the feature in our help documentation:

Is there a way to automatically add another of the same page while a form is being filled?

Is there a way to automatically add another of the same page while a form is being filled?
I have a two-page form of which the second page is essentially a spreadsheet analog. Often, there is need for for more lines than are available on the page. Is there a way in which to add another or even multiple copies of the second page?
Thanks ahead...

You can do that with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, which comes with Acrobat Pro for Windows. For more information, you can ask over at the LiveCycle Designer forum.

Is there a way to automatically insert the filename in the footer of a spreadsheet using iWork's numbers 3.2?

Is there a way to automatically insert the filename of a spreadsheet into the footer when using iworks numbers 3.2? iworks 09 had this feature and I can't find this feature in the new version of numbers.

Hi rhyolite,
In Numbers 3.x, The Print View and Layout View have gone (for now at least). Page Headers and Footers can only be reached under Menu > File > Print... to open Print Preview. Hover the cursor to reveal the Page Header and Footer fields.
The only inserts that I can get to work in Print Preview are Page Number, Page Count and Date & Time. Filename is no longer in the Insert menu.

Ian.

Is there a way to automate the CFX tags installation?

Hello,
I'm currently in the process of re-installing a web farm of ColdFusion 8 servers (W2K8, IIS 7.5).
I have to install a number of CFX tags (C++) on each server to get the code running.
Is there a way to automate the installation of the CFX tags (regedit imports, VBS, PowerShell...)?
I found some link indicating that keys should be imported in the registry at: HKLM\Software\Allaire, but Allaire does not even exist in this branch (I believe that the instructions were true of older versions of CF).
I installed one of the tags manually and noticed that the file neo-runtime.xml was updated with:

Can I simply add the XML node to get it running?
Thanks in advance for any lead to the solution.

This is great! but I'm not there yet. I figured how to assign little midi triggered melodies to a touch track. I used to do stuff like this on an old Buchla years ago. How do I get the automation on the midi track to control the filter on an audio track? I created regions with the automation I want on a midi track, then I assigned those regions to keys with touch tracks. How do I get that to control the filter on the audio track?
thanks,
Lee

HT202299 Is there a way to automatically upload videos that last more than 5 minutes on icloud ?

I saw that icloud has a limitation of 5 minutes on the videos :
Is there a way to automatically upload videos that last more than 5 minutes from iphoto/photos ?
I'm trying to find a way to store my photo library on the cloud, AND keep to acces to each photos/videos from the net (not just storing the .iphotolibrary on the icloud folder) but i cant do it for the videos of more than 5min ...

I believe you are probably referring to iCloud photo sharing. If you wait a while, the next version of Yosemite will include the new Photos application which will sync video through the iCloud photo library feature.

Is there a way to automatically detect and delete duplicate photos in a library

I just imported a load of photos into my main iPhoto '11 Library from several older MAC's Photo Libraries. Despite repeatedly using the "Don't Import Duplicate Photos" dialogue box, I have many duplicate photos. Is there a way to automatically detect and delete Duplicate Photos?
I also have iPhoto Library Manager installed on my MAC, but cannot seem to locate on it anything that would do this.
I have over 4,000 photos, so would really appreciate some help here! Thanks in advance...

duplicate annihilator - http://www.brattoo.com/propaganda/
And NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library - doing so des not work and creates massive duplication
if you still have all of the original iPhoto libraries I recommend you drag the bad one you created to the desktop (delete it later when everythin has successfully been completed) and start over usin iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to merge the libraries

Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig)?

Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig).
I know (in hindsight) that I can manually export it from the Airport Utility, but ideally I would like to include it in my Time Machine backup. I had a situation where my Airport Extreme (3rd generation) just stopped working (no lights, no power). I had not exported the config file. I bought a new Airport Extreme (5th generation) and had to manually configure the new router.
Thanks

One option would be to use Automator and record the actions to run the AirPort Utility; save the configuration file to the desktop (or any other location you want), and then, close the utility. You can then either make this a part of your login startup programs. Time Machine then should be able to make backups.
