Is there a way to flip the Y axis in Illustrators CC?

I'm working on a project that can be plotted on a grid and I'm just wondering if its possible to flip the Y axis so that the positive numbers are going up and the negatives are going down.

qwotis,
If the link from Doug fails to do it, you may (hopefully) manually change the relevant preference settings as follows:
0) Close down Illy (you can only change the preference file with Illy closed);
1) Find and open the AIPrefs (Win speak) or Adobe Illustrator Prefs (Mac speak) file withe a text editor like Notepad or TextEdit; the preference file is a (hidden) file in the (hidden) folder Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings
2): Find and change the following two bits of code:
/isRulerOriginTopLeft 1 >>> /isRulerOriginTopLeft 0 (change 1 to 0)
/isRulerIn4thQuad 1 >>> /isRulerIn4thQuad 0 (change 1 to 0)
This is a global change so you only have to do it once (just as you can undo it once).
You may find the preference file here:

Is there a way to flip the pages in a .pdf so that all of the text is readable (in other words all documents are right side up)? I have Adobe Acrobat X and am using Windows 8.1.

I have a pdf with over 2,000 pages, many of which are sideways. I do not want to manually flip each one (few are next to each other). Is there a way to automate the function so that all sideways or upside down text pages are righted?

Is there a way to link the x-axis of multiple graphs in a report? Using DIAdem 12.0

Is there a way to link the x-axis of multiple graphs in a report? Using DIAdem 12.0

What I am after is this... If I have multiple 2D axis systems in a report with each y axis showing different channels of a particular data file and with each x axis being the time stamp of that data file, rather than changing the x axis values of each 2D axis system to zoom in on a time slice, I'd like to change only one and have all the others match. So I suppose yes, I want each of the multiple 2D axis systems to have the same x axis, but I want unique 2D axis systems, not one system with multiple y axis or "n systems". I'm hesitant to post a sample report as this is a public forum. Thank you.

Is there a way to flip the pages of a document instead of scrolling?

I have got my documents into pages but was hoping instead of scrolling from page to page I could somehow change a setting or preference to be able to flip pages like in iBook. Hope someone else has had this concern or request so that I can make this work.

You can Show Thumbnails (View menu) and click on the page you want or, after you have clicked on a thumbnail to select it, use the down (and up) arrows to move to the next (or previous) page. It will be a direct cut, no effects.
If you click in a page for any reason, you will have to select the thumbnails again to resume changing pages.

I somehow filmed a video upside down, is there a way to flip it?

I filmed a 16 minute video and somehow it was filmed upside down. So everytime I try to watch it on my iPad, it automatically flips over to being upside down. My son needs access to it. Is there a way to flip the video?

A video editing program will flip it. unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with App based ones to recommend one. You could play with some of the free ones to see if they will do it for you.

Is there a way to default the monthly calendar display so that the current day always shows on top?

Is there a way to default the monthly calendar display
so that the current day always shows on top? ie, I want to always be able to see what's in the future 3-4 weeks, not what's in the past 3-4 weeks. The default monthly display is archaic--only allows you to see through the last day of the month. Suddenly today
is Oct. 30th, and I have a ton of projects lined up in November, but because I haven't been scrolling down every day, I haven't been aware of them every day. I realize there are other tools in Microsoft to help me stay on task, such as reminders and such,
but it would be helpful if I could always have the current day display on top of the monthly view so I can quickly scan what's coming up in the next few weeks.

Thank you!
Right, I already have it in Month view. My question is a little more specific--I'd like for the current day to always display at the top. For example, today is Oct. 31st, so the current day is at the bottom of the calendar since it is the last day of the month.
I can view everything in October that I've already completed. What I can't see are the future weeks because we haven't hit November yet. I'd like for the current day to always display at the top of my calendar so I can always see what's coming in the following
three - four weeks (whether they're a part of that month or not). I've been to other forums trying to find the answer, and have come across the same exact question from frustrated users--but there seemed to be no solution. So I'm posing the question myself
in this forum. Do you know if this is possible? What I found from other forums is that Outlook defaults to a physical 'desk' type calendar format--so just as I'd use a paper calendar at my desk, I wouldn't be able to see the following weeks unless I either
flip the page to that month or I come to the first day of the next month, thereby tearing the the old month off and now only able to see the current month. That format is just so...paper...and archaic! Essentially I want the calendars to loop so it doesn't
even really matter what month it is--I just always want to see what lies ahead without having to scroll down. With our being in the Technology Age, I'd assume this is a logical expectation, but we may be stuck with the replica version of the paper-desk-calendar
format until Outlook programmers add this Technology Age feature in newer versions.
See, this month kind of messed me up because I have so many projects for November that start tomorrow and next week, but I haven't seen them until this week. I would have been better quipped--at least expecting them--had I been able to see all of those projects
since last week or the week prior.
If there is no solution to this answer, would you know how I can contact Outlook to provide feedback? I'm guessing a newer version is on its way...
Thanks again in advance!

Is there any way to put the mini calendar on the monthly calendar as in Leopard?

I downloaded Lion about a month ago and the only dislike is ical. For one is there any way to put the mini calendar on the monthly display as it was in Snow Leopard. It makes it much easier instead of flip flopping back and forth to see last month or previous months?

Nope

Is there a way to answer the 5c without swiping? It really is a pain and hard to do at times one handed. Maybe allow favorites to be answered with a click of the home button or possibly all calls with a home button push

If I use a sound clip in the multi-track editor multiple times; is there a way to reverse the clip without change all the instances where the clip was used in the same multi-track session?
I'm having to copy the clip rename it as clipreverses.wav then bring it back into audition to use it.
Sony Vagas you can flip the same clip on a different track with a right click and not affect any other copies of that clip.

Not that I'm aware of, no. You can easily make a unique copy of a clip (right-click on it, and you get it already saved for you), and I'd say that having this was more flexible in one way, at least, as you could then time-stretch it if you wanted to, without altering all other instances of it. Not saying that there wouldn't be any point in having a reverse-play option - I can see instances where it might be useful. It's just that it's not exactly difficult to achieve this anyway, which is probably why I don't ever recall a request for it!

I have a temp working for me and she scanned all our batches upside down is there a way to flip them and save them without her having to rescan every batch. We have tried flipping them and doing a save as, we have also tried to flip them and create a new pdf document but nothing seems to be working

If the file type is PDF then open them in Acrobat and rotate them via Tools - Pages - Rotate (not via the View menu, which is only temporary).
You can also do this in an Action, if you have Acrobat Pro, and process multiple files in a single process.

I create a birthday calendar in iCal and then click on it in iphoto at the begining of the calendar project each year. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project?

I created a birthday calendar to use in iphoto for calendar. When a new calendar project is started each year, I click on it in. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar this year. The photo calendar is almost complete. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project? I would prefer not to start over.

Hi,
If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.
Best wishes

Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

Hi Apple community,
This is my first go at this so be kind,
My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Is there a way of stopping the battery from charging?

Dear Apple Community,
Recently I installed iStat Menus and found that, over the course of this year, my Macbook's charging capacity has dropped 5%. I know this isn't a massive number, but battery performance has become a concern for me. I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, on the main. It's sitting on a mStand, connected to a large monitor on my desk. I use my Macbook to play games, surf the internet, do work and all that good stuff - basically, I use it for everything. I rarely use the Macbook without it being plugged in. I read on the Apple website that they do not recommend leaving the Macbook on charge permanently and that I should use it on battery at least one a month. As I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, I don't actually have a lot of opportunity to do this.
My question to you, the community, is: is there a way of stopping the battery from charging, either with the use of an app or a physical device? Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
On the other hand, am I just worrying about nothing? Will my battery be damaged further if I leave the Macbook charging permanently?
Thanks for your help!
Jeremy Reid

Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
The charging characteristics are handled in firmware. There is no app that would be able to do this. You actually would not want to do this anyway. Regularly discharging your battery to 10% will greatly decrease the life of your battery. While it is true that you should not use your system exclusively plugged in, allowing it to run on battery a few hours a week should be fine. Letting the battery regularly run down to (or below) 10% will cause you to use up cycles more quickly than is necessary (thereby reducing the life of your battery). It's really a only a matter of disconnecting your Magsafe connector once in a while.
Leaving it plugged in does not result in it being charged "permanently". It will charge until it is full and then charging will stop. It will only begin recharging when it reaches about 95%.

Is there a way of making the Edge Commons parallax effect work smoothly with DPS on the iPad?

I want to create a feature for an iPad magazine utilising the parallax effect shown here...
Parallax Scrolling Made Easy (Adobe Edge Animate Online Week, Episode 9) - YouTube
I am using Digital Publishing Suite to publish to an iPad. I ran a test and the effect partially works, but not smoothly.
As you scroll down the animation does not play. Once you finish scrolling the animation then jumps to whichever point has been reached on the timeline, rather than animating as you scroll down the page.
Is there a way to get the same animation effect through DPS that you see in the browser? Or is it not compatible?
Thanks!

As lllaass said, you can't.
If you want Apple to add backgrounds to the iPad version, leave them feedback: http://apple.com/feedback/ipad.html.

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

Absolutely!
Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
    Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
    Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
    School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
    Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
    Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
    Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
    Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.
