Keeping Boxes Active while dragging Guides

I am just starting to use AI CC version 18.0.0. In previous versions (CS 5.5) you could click on a box and the six little boxes would show...one on each corner and two in the middle. Then you could easily bring guides to the center of the box by dragging them to the center boxes. In the new version, the box does not stay active when I drag out a guide. Does anyone have a workaround? Thank you.

Ava,
It just occurred to me that the issue may be the Live Rectangle bug that is limited to one of the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks), see this thread linked to below.
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1595973
So a switch to Mavericks with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
It is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles.
A way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

How can I keep USB's ports active while in sleep mode?

How can I keep USB's ports active while in sleep mode?

OK, for some of you that may have the same problem or question as me. I have been testing my MAC Book Pro for ways to continue to power the usb while laptop in standby or off. I have found the following thing to work or not work.
1. The laptop doesn't send any power to your USB's when it is powered off reguardless if it is plugged in or not.
2. If laptop is put in standby no power is sent to USB's unless the power cord is plugged in on the laptop. So once again if you plug your laptop in and then put it in standby it does still send power to the USB's when requested.
So the bottom line is, On my last laptop (toshiba) I was given an option to go into system preference and make a change that allowed my laptop to continue to send power to USB's when requested while in standby or powered off. I was hoping I could do the same thing with my new smokin Mac Book Pro but I haven't found that kind of option in the MAC.

Disconnect WiFi while keeping it active

Hello Everyone,
i connected my iMac via Ethernet to an AirPort Extreme while using my MacBook Air over WiFi.
Since Maps and AirDrop only work with WiFi Active my iMac will connect to my AirPort as soon as WiFi is activated.
Before Mavericks i just didn´t connect to my AirPort on the iMac and kept it active, but since Mavericks is syncing WiFi Settings through all my devices it is connecting to WiFi automatically.
Is there a Way to manually disconnect the WiFi on the iMac without deleting the Profile (which would delete my Settings on the MacBook Air, right?) and keep WiFi active and connect through WiFi when ever i need it?
I hope my writing is not to confusing, sorry
Best Regards,
Christian

If you have the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar, can you not go there and turn the Wi-Fi off? System Preferences/Network - select Wi-Fi and turn it off.
It can cause the computer to rename itself is the only problem I am aware of.

Lightroom crashed while dragging a photo in Book module

I was creating a book in Lightroom 5. While dragging a photo within the book Lightroom quit. An error window popped up and I sent the message per instruction. The message that came back stated Lightroom could not repair the problem. The screen is now blank and showing "Loading" for the past 9 hours.

Dorin, you are a Lightroom 4 God! Because I wasn't thinking of the text as a "caption" but rather as text, I never saw that option. I just tried it and it is fine. I am not sure if I can play with the dimensions of the box as much as I like, but I could deal with that by how I arrange the type. Yeah you!
While I'm typing to you, I have another question: one of the neat things about the book module is that you can switch into Develop and make a change in the photo and it automatically updates the photo in the book module. HOWEVER -- what happens if at some time in the future I am working with a photo which is in a book -- and I like the way it is for that book -- and I want to change the photo for another use. Will that change in the photo change the photo in the book? If so, is there any way to keep this from happening? I could see using a photo in a book in black & white, but wanting to use in for a graphic in color. I'd hate to come back to my book and see that all my work there had been screwed up.
Thanks,
P

Close folders while drag-and-dropping files?

When dragging files to move them, often some large folders will be open, which means I have to drag/scroll thru the file list to get to other folders. Is there a way to close folders while dragging files?

I just installed two widgets that are supposed to function by dragging and dropping files into them. How do I get access to files? How do you get files from the Finder into the dashboard?
You need to activate Dashboard's "Developer Mode" in order to keep widgets active on the desktop.
Open Terminal and enter the following command:
<PRE>
defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES
</PRE>
Close Terminal, log out of your user account, and log back in again. To move a widget onto your desktop, activate Dashboard and start dragging the widget to the desktop. Press F12 before letting up on the mouse button to close Dashboard, and the widget should now be permanently affixed to the desktop. Drag to your desired location.

What to keep in mind whilie developing under the new IOS PLA

Hi everyone.
I found out the the new IOS PLA was introduced on June 2nd. I could not spot any noticeable differences from the previous one.
The fellow developers at my office are quite acquaint with the previous PLA, however the release announcement sort of created confusion among them. They all wonder what to keep in mind while developing and publishing the apps under the new PLA.
Your help will be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Very simply "wired for internet" just means that you have, probably, Category 5 (CAT5) ethernet cables and jacks prewired in the home. These cables should all lead to one common location, hopefully in a patch panel or box. In order for this arrangement to be of any use you need a multi-port router and/or switch. I doubt whether the contractor provides this router/switch as part of the deal. Anyway the router/switch would connect all of these cables together as well as your internet service (DSL, Cable Modem, whatever). Plugging into any of the jacks in the home would connect you to the router/switch, which in turn would issue your device an IP address and connect you to the network. Internet access, as well as file sharing, would be controlled by the router/switch. Very basic home network and nothing complicated. Your Apple TV will work just fine with this network. You could also connect a network storage device, such as a large capacity hard drive that could be shared by all users on the network. Getting more complicated involves having a dedicated server machine running OS X Server for example.

Bug: scrolling with mouse scroll wheel while dragging tracks no longer works

After upgrading to Spotify for Mac 1.0.2.6, I can no longer use my mouse's scroll wheel while dragging tracks to a different position in a playlist. This is an important feature when working with long playlists. Steps to reproduce:Create a playlist that extends past the bottom of the windowClick and begin dragging the first song on the playlist downwardUse your mouse's scroll wheel to scroll the playlist down. It will not scroll.

Hey ,
Thanks for letting us know.
We don't have any update on this yet and we'll pass the information on to the right team.
We'll keep you posted.
Thanks!

MouseUpEvent stops working while Dragging MovieClip

There is a mouseUpEvent listener attached to the stage in the main class, while dragging the movieClip the mouseUpEvent doesnot trigger the handler and the movieClip gets sticks to the mouse. While the item is being dragged and the mouse is moved away from the movieClip i.e somewhere not on the item but on the stage the mouseUp is detected.
Edit: Here is the scenario I am using a static (Singleton) class as a movieClip as a "DragManager". Whenever a movieClip has to be dragged it is passed to the DragManager and is added as a child, when a mouseUp from stage is detected another static function of dragManager is called to stop the drag and put the movieClip on the appropriate layer. Here is the static function in the DragManager which is called on MouseDown from variouslayers.
public static function startDragMethod(item:Item):void
instance.addChild(item); //This is the instance of the DragManager
var boundArea:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0,0,610,760);
item.startDrag(false,boundArea);
In the constructor of the main class I add the eventHandler for the MouseUpEvent
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stageMou seUpHandler);
The MouseUpHandler in the main class
private function stageMouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
DragManager.itemMouseUpHandler(event);
If there is something wrong with technique please guide me, my goal is to implement drag drop between various layers and with as less coupling as possible.

1. by "main" class do you mean document class?
2. does a trace() in stageMouseUpHandler fail to execute with that mouseup event?

HT201304 I need to restrict access to Settings on an iPad so settings like VoiceOver cannot be activated while letting them access multiple apps on the device. Is their any way to restrict access to settings without locking the device with a PIN?

I need to restrict access to Settings on an iPad so settings like VoiceOver cannot be activated while letting them access multiple apps on the device. Is their any way to restrict access to settings without locking the device with a PIN?
This is so our guests cannot tamper or disable the device. We are already using Apple Configurator but their does not seem to be a way to lock down settings without a PIN.

There's a lot of restrictions information in Chapter 19 of the 4.2 User Guide.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
By the way, a more extensive version of the User Manual is available at no charge through iBooks.

Heads up display for viewport pixel size while dragging the bar!

Would be a great feature to display the active viewport size in a heads up display while dragging the bar so we can accurately determine the size of viewport to select. Love this program and can't wait for Version 1 and all that's to come!

Hi Thomas! This is a good idea! Thanks for this!

Disabling 'Show window contents while dragging' also disables window snap - is there a workaround?

When I disable 'Show window contents while dragging' in Performance Options, it also automatically disables the ability to snap windows the left and right and corners by dragging them. I have an older computer, and disabling this really improves the performance,
but I'd really like to keep the ability to snap the windows around, as it's one of my favorite features.
Is there a way to just disable showing window contents while dragging without disabling the window snap feature?

Hey there. I've been trying to figure out why my snap wasn't working, and this is the only post I've found that mentioned it.
I found snap wasn't working on my machines sometimes and realised it happens after I start an RDP session which disables the "show window contents while dragging" option, but then doesn't seem to enable it properly after the session ends.
When I check the option, it is already ticked, so I need to untick and re-tick, then apply and snap starts working again.
I don't know if there is any connection with the "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen" option under the mouse ease of access settings.
It does seem like a new issue though as it doesn't happen under Win8

Have issues with Contact locking up while dragging contact into Group

After creating a new Group in iCloud-Contacts, while dragging and dropping new contacts into the group, the browser locks up each time I try to drag a new contact into the group.
Browser: Firefox 10.0.1

I am also having a similar problem with my 13 " macbook pro purchased in Aug 2011. I took the same to
m/s Unicorn Infosolutions Pvt Ltd , Mumbai ( authorised service centre for apple). They first checked it and said that it was a hardware problem and I will have to keep the MBP with them till they get the replacement part from Bangalore and the repair would be free of cost since it was under warranty. So far so good. Then late in the evening , they called me up to inform that there was liquid found inside and the mother board would have to be repaced and the same would cost Rs 64,000/- which is slightly less than the cost of a new mbp.
Unable to understand the formation of liquid since the time they checked up in the morning and their discovery in the late evening.
They probably had a change of heart regarding replacement of the part under warranty.
Apple should take serious action against such firms which indulge in such unscrupulous activities.
Now I am left high and dry since apart from scrapping my new MBP, my data is also lost.
Hope Apple can come out with a solution for this problem and replace/rectify the machine.

Disable zoom while in guided access mode

Anyone know of a way to disable zoom (Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Zoom) while in guided access mode? Yes, it can be done manually prior to entering guided access mode but I'm looking for something more automatic. My child has the uncanny ability of getting into zoom repeatedly while playing.
Thanks

I don't exactly understand your issue but if your stuck in guided access press and hold the power and home until you see your device turns off keep holding then when you see the apple startup logo let go (this is called a hard reset or a respring) this will force you out of guided access and into the home screen where you can unlock the device with out being stuck in guided access
If this does not help you please ignore this comment

Keyboard shortcuts while dragging-and-dropping?

In Windows, when I'm dragging and dropping files from one folder to another, I can press keys on the keyboard to force it to change its behaviour -- for example, if I hold the Crtl key down, it will force it to copy files instead of move them. Similarly, I can hold down the shift key to force it to move files when it wants to default to copying them.
What is the equivalent keypress on a Mac running OS X 10.9.2? It keeps moving files when I want to copy them (and vice-versa) and I just can't figure out which key(s) to press while dragging-and-dropping to make it change its behaviour.
Thanks for your help,
Laurence MacNeill

Press the Option key to force a copy, or the Command key to force a move. Pressing both at once will create an alias.
