Man, if I only had a $ for each time this link was shown to someone on this forum.
<chuckle> Googling around, there are lots of explanations how to do this
effect online, but I think the LAFPUG page is the easiest to understand.
That's the nature of these forums, that people keep asking the same
questions over and over.

Colours different on object and inspector

Hi,
For most colours, there seems to be a subtle difference in the appearance of the fill colour of an object, and the colour for the object shown in the inspector/colour chooser. The object shown on the page has more saturation or brightness than in the floating palettes.
This is immediately noticeable to me on the default green colour for a new object from the toolbar menu (eg. a new circle). In fact, if I click the magnifying glass on the colour palette and click my object, even though they're meant to be the same colour, both the inspector and object change colour slightly, proving that it's not just my eyes. I can repeat this again and again on the object of default green fill until the object is bright green (green starts on 183 of RGB and ends up on 255.)
The problem is the same with text and lines in Pages, but this does not happen in TextEdit. Text copied directly from TextEdit into Pages has a slightly different color.
Does anyone else experience this? Any fixes?
Thanks

This was brought up in the Keynote forum quite some time ago, compllete with a handy demonstration by Kyn.
I would suggest sending feedback and seeing if it shows up in keynote too. If it doesn't then it was a missed fix in color handling that was not forwarded to the Pages team.

My widget browser keeps showing "failed getting widget feed" and keeps saying "failed getting widget feed and make sure you are connected to the internet" when I am connected to the internet. How do I fix this?

Widget Browser is gone. Adobe pulled the plug on it quite a while ago.

I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library.
NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album. Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes. In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

TS1702 Keynotes got hung up in updating and kept everything else from updating. I deleted it and now it doesn't show as an app I had purchased, so I can't try downloading it again. What's going on?

Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem. Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File", then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine. I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1). I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do.
The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu, when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.
I am now a happy camper.
I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto, that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"?
Good luck Liz, if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

If on a computer browser you go to icloud.com and sing in are you notes there? If so get them off.
Next,
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iCloud and delete the iCloud account from the iPod,. Note this does not delete the account, only deletes it from the iPod. Then sign back in.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Backup and then restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Will reinstalling Lion via the Lion recovery partition cause you to loose all of your applications, documents, etc or does it just replace the Lion operating system and leave everything else untouched?

Will reinstalling Lion via the Lion recovery partition cause you to loose all of your applications, documents, etc or does it just replace the Lion operating system and leave everything else untouched?

The latter. I cant tell you how many times I've reinstalled lion! all your apps will be fine!
Things that will change are system graphics if you altered them with something like candybar or did it manually.
Having said that, you should always backup your stuff with time machine incase something does happen.
This is a very important step which will insure the safety of your files while doing things like updating or installing the OS.
Please exercise caution when doing things with a Hard Drive.

Can I exclude photos on my iPhone from being sent to iCloud and how? My goal is to only sync my calendar to the iCloud and exclude everything else. This way I don't have to pay for more space.

My goal is to only sync my calendar to iCloud and exclude everything else. This way I don't have to pay for more space.

Hey Murphie,
I don't pay for more space and I'm backing up two devices to iCloud, a 32G ipad and a 16G phone.
However, you can merely chose NOT to backup to iCloud. Then you won't run out of space. Items synced to iCloud do not take up your backup space.
Now, you WILL have to back up to your computer via iTunes the old fashioned way, or risk losing valuable data. Your choice.
However, if you manage your data responsibility, you won't run out of your 5G of storage on your iCloud backup from normal use.
Good luck

How large is 'large'?

My computer is "not authorized" to download TV show to iPod, but is in fact authorized and syncs everything else.

I haven't purchased a TV show for a couple of iTunes updates and did so this morning. The episode plays on my Mac, but will noy sync to my iPod Touch. iTunes tells me the computer is not authorized. But the computer is authorized and syncs everything else.
Anybody have suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Mattadolphus

More users have reported this problem, but there does not seem to be an universal solution.
Browse or search these discussions to find some hints.
It works perfectly on my system (with iLife 5) and I have no problems with purchased music.
As a workaround you could burn your purchased music on an Audio CD (not MP3 or data) and re-import them.
Those re-imported tracks will play in QT and iDVD.

How do I cut out imported objects and make background transparent?

Illustrator CS3.
I have embedded a jpeg picture which I need to cut out and make the background transparent. How do I do this? An opacity mask? How do I create a mask the same shape as the object I need to cut out? The object needs central pieces cut out too. Please help!

Opacity mask of clipping path are the two ways to do this in Illustrator. Photoshop is the ideal program for this task.

How do i animate colours only in my shapes and not everything else??

Hi i have created a game where the user clicks on the screen and where ever the user clicks triangles appear. I have created an animation whereby after the user clicks, a set of colours, green, orange cyan and cycled through 1 by 1 in the triangle. This is done with the help of a timer.
The problem i am having now is that the colours also cycle in the menue and the timer(timer is shown when the first click is pressed). I wont the colors to ONLY animate in the triangle.
Does anybody know how i can do this??
     if ( m_bPing )
               if ( m_nSeconds % 3 == 0 )
                     gc.setColor( Color.GREEN ) ;
                    else if ( m_nSeconds % 3 == 1 )
                 gc.setColor( Color.ORANGE ) ;
                    else
                         gc.setColor(Color.CYAN);
if(m_bMouse)
               m_Timer.start(); // starts the timer from 1
               m_bStart = false;
                    gc.drawString( " " + m_nSeconds, 7*winSize.width/8 , 7*winSize.height/10 );
                    for( int i = 0; i < m_nTrianglesDrawn; i++)
                         gc.fillPolygon( m_polyTriangleArr);
How can i change this so that i will animate the colors in my triangle and NOT the timer and menue?

gc.drawString and gc.fillPolygon use the last color that was set with gc.setColor. So, you need to set the color to the correct color before calling those methods. Also, if you're using the Graphics object passed to you through a paint method, you should call g.create at the beginning of your custom drawing code and g.dispose at the end of your drawing code so that you're using a temporary Graphics object.

The Ask toolbar that I unfortunately downloaded has replaced Google and makes everything run more slowly. I can't get rid of it.

I was trying to play a media file and was advised to download KM player. It asked if I wanted to download a toolbar too. I thought it might not work properly if I didn't follow suggestions, so I did. The toolbar was "Ask" and it replaced the Google toolbar. I don't know how to get rid of it. I found a box next to the toolbar at the top right-hand corner of the screen and unchecked everything on it (add-on bar, menu bar, etc.) Then I clicked on Firefox at the top of the page and clicked on Help and then on Restart with add-ons disabled. I went to "My Computer" to look at "Add and Remove Programs" and couldn't find "Ask". I tried downloading Google Chrome, and it had a Google toolbar -- in the address bar, which I didn't want. I wonder how to get rid of "Ask" in Firefox. (Also in Internet Explorer!)

Greetings qstn1 - We have an FAQ with the exact steps to remove our toolbar from your computer, both in IE and Firefox. Here's the link to that info:

I have updated my iPad and lost everything can you please help me?

I have updated my iPad and lost everything because my only option on iTunes was to update and restore. The update was very strange because I pressed install, I had enough space for the update and I agreed to the terms and conditions. My iPad turned to a black page with a picture of connecting to iTunes, I couldn't get it off my screen even when I plugged it into iTunes. to update and restore my iPad was my only option and if I plugged my iPad out my screen would still say plug into iTunes. I haven't backed up my iPad for a few months but I need the most recent stuff on my iPad. I need my iPad for school. How do I fix this? And can Apple do anything to get it back? I am stressing out so much and I really need answers and I need them quickly. (Sorry if I sound rude but I'm freaking out about this)

You should be able to see all your Purchased Music in your iTunes Account and you can download that Music to your iPhone during a Sync. First step look under Purchases in iTunes.

Can I Stream just the video and Sync everything else?

Does anyone have any solid solutions for having full access to a 500+ GB iTunes Library on the TV ?
I have 500 GB of video on an external drive and ~50 GB of music and photos on my internal drive. In other words, my iTunes library is not consolidated and is spread around.
I want to get a 160 GB TV if I can sync all my music and photos onto the TV and simultaneously configure the video for streaming. If not, it seems I should just get the 40 GB version, since I will have to stream everything anyway and won't need as much space.
I'm also curious about the ability of TV to access different media files in my iTunes Library if they reside on different hard drives.
Any first hand accounts or solutions would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, thanks for the quick reply ...
- some have said that external usb drives don't work as well for streaming sometimes on older Macs whereas Firewire will do better
- NAS drives can be a bit hit and miss depending on the number of steps to transfer data to iTunes then back to AppleTV
I'm planning to attach my external HD to an AirPort Extreme, which will actually be adjacent to the TV. I suppose I could run an ethernet cable between the Airport Extreme and the TV if it would help.
- importantly be aware of the limited video playback specs for AppleTV; MP4/h264 only with bitrate limits. If all your video is from iTMS you'll be fine, if not you may have to convert for AppleTV which can be time consuming. Videos that play in iTunes will not necessarily ply on AppleTv without conversion. AppleTV does not support 5.1 sound (you can't stream VOBs for example).
Almost all of my video has been converted by VisualHub, iSquint or Handbrake to play on my iPod, so I'm hoping I won't need to reconvert anything.
