Locking book text

I am working in cs6. I am making an index for a book and want to lock the book text to avoid making accidental changes. How do I do this?

Put it on a unique layer and lock down that layer? Maybe? I don't favor locking down individual frame objects (Object menu > Lock).

Zen 16GB lock ups, text display and video conversion probl

Three issues with my new Zen 6GB. Any ideas are welcome.
The first is that it keeps randomly locking up - not whitescreened or blackscreened - just locked displaying whatever it was previously showing. This happens both while trying to transfer files (it's the same using Media Player synch, Creative Media Explorer or Windows Explorer) and while playing back files. The only solution I've found is to get a needle for the reset button and let it go through "rebuilding" when I turn it on again. That then leads to it displaying the wrong album art... but I can li've with that for now...
The second issue is a strange, definately software, one - the numeral "2" is always displayed one line below the rest of the text. This happens in the track listing, track description during playback and while setting the time / date / alarm. It's not the case when displaying the time in the top right corner, but it is in every other situation, and it's only the figure "2" that's affected.
The third issue is that the Zen Video Convertor refuses to convert any video files. Whatever format of file I have, from whatever source, I always get an error to say that the required codec is not installed.
As I said, any ideas are welcome. I'm travelling almost constantly for the next month, so don't really want to send off for replacement or repair (unless of course for a full refund, and I'll buy a replacement at the airport!).

Plz Cretaive, Add UMS mode and recording radio ! it's very important for many people !
Creative plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... xD
You think devellopers come here
You think we must creat a petition for UMS mode

Mail and Address Book text appears as gobbledygook

The software headings and some of the input text in Mail and Address Book appears as random text symbols. For example in Address Book the headings beside the input boxes (Name, Tel, Fax, E-mail, etc) appear as random symbols. In the far right hand pane that shows the content of an Address Book entry, the two input boxes at the top that should display the christian and surname have also been replaced by random symbols.
In Mail, again it's the software headings that have been corrupted (To, From, Date, cc. But also my signatures are also now made of randon symbols as is any text that I enter into the body of a new e-mail.
This has not just happened and is the result of a series of problems.
In order they were:
1) created an Automator application to search my HD and copy all images (actually just after client photography and logos) to a folder called images on my desktop...I know stupid, stupid thing to do as I forgot about all of the millions of other images contained on the HD. By the time I realised my mistake my desktop (the 'put in folder' action clearly didn't work) was swarming with images but still running. I couldn't shut the app down and had to shut down the Mac with a Power button shut down. On rebooting, the desktop would not rebuild (with approx 11,500 images sitting on it, hardly surprising) and Finder kept crashing.
2) Despite the crashed finder I managed to set up a new Admin user and log in on this. I considered a target disk mode transfer to another machine, but this would have transferd the desktop issue. Under the new login I then changed the ownership of the old User folders and transfered all of the User Library items across the new identity. This is probably not best practice, but with hideous work pressure and screaming clients I had to act swiftly.
It is probably step two that has mucked things up. Everything else seems to be acting fine - even keychain access (the keychain was dragged across from the old user id) works fine after validating access when the alert window appears.
Complete idiotic user error, I know and, frustratingly, I'm a pretty experienced user with a fairly good grasp of Mac systems...however, this has foxed me.
Any urgent thoughts would be appreciated
Kind regards

Thanks Eric, but unfortunately my Frankenstien Automator app was moving the originals and not making copies. I thank the gods I didn't roll out the app to the guys in the office before testing it myself. You could wreak havoc with these Automator apps if you so chose!
I now have the hideous task of trying to relocate 11,500 images..clearly will never do it and will have to wait until I find missing images then go look for them. Unfortunately the app had eaten its way through my web site folder before I stopped it and the thousands of auto generated image slices, bullet points, etc have been scattered to the winds.
Roll on Time Machine and OSX.5...plus a back-up regime or a 10gb iDisk account and 100mb broadband!

Tab rulers are not locked to text blocks

I have a brand new (2 weeks old) iMac working with CS4. I work in Prepress so my typesetting skills are a bit rusty...
I am trying to work with the tab ruler. If I am viewing as a full page and have my text block selected, my tab rulers open up to the correct size on my text block. However since my document is quite large and my text block is tiny when viewed as full page, I am zooming into my text block to be able to see it correctly. My Tab rulers stay locked to the size and space of my full page viewer, even if I close my ruler and zoom in, then re-open it. What am I doing wrong?

The tab panel can be automatically sized and positioned over a column by by clcikinb the little magnet inthe lower right corner, but ONLY if there is enough space on the screen to put it above the column.
To clarify: That is, only if the entire width of the column is on screen, and only if your left sock is inside out (right sock during daylight savings time).

Photo Book text font incorrect in preview?

Help! I'm using two fontsin a photo book: papyrus for title and baskerville for all other text. In Aperture 3.4.5 everything is fine. When saving as a pdf or previewing to buy, the baskerville font is misaligned at the bottom and looks totally different. How do I correct this or is it a bug?
Thanks,
John

Iphoto Book Text Problems

The first page of the Iphoto book is setup for text. When I insert what appears to be an appropriate amount of text, I receive the the red exclamation point. I have tried shrinking the font, reducing the amount of text and starting over with a clean page. i still get the warning sign despite the fact that everyting looks fine.

Make sure you have no hidden returns at the end of the text. Place the cursor at the end of the text and use the Forward Delete key multiple times to get rid of any possible hidden characters, returns, etc. at the end.
Then, as Larry pointed out, if the PDF preview file of the book displays the text as you want it the book will print the same. Just save the pdf file to compare to the printed copy when it arrives.

Locked in text field

I'm setting up a daily calendar using text fields for a person to enter their name in a certain time spot. Is there a way that once their name is in that spot on the calendar it is locked in so that no one else can delete or change it? Thanks for the help.

You can set a text field to be read-only with JavaScript in the Validate event:
// Custom Validate script for text field
// Set this field to read-only if it's not blank
event.target.readonly = event.value ? true : false;
You can set up something to change it back to not read-only, but exactly what that is depends on how you want it to work.

Is it possible to lock individual text messages to prevent deletion?

Is there a way to lock an indiviual text message (iMessage) and prevent it from being deleted when the rest of the thread is deleted? Sometimes I want to keep certain messages because they are just too funny to get rid of!

Locking Standard Text from being edited

Hi friends,
I am writing an interface to load Sales Orders into SAP (4.7) from an external system. I need to store information such as the sales order number, person who approved, date, time, etc from the external system into SAP for auditing purposes.
I have 2 options: extend VBAK / VBAP and paint the extra fields to Additional Data B; or put these fields in Standard Text. But because these fields are for auditing, we do not want anyone to be able to change the Standard Text once they have been saved.
My client wants to fully investigate the Standard Text option before going ahead with extending VBAK / VBAP. I have looked at where the Standard texts are defined in the IMG but can't find anywhere where you can lock the object from changes.
If anyone has any ideas or can share similiar experiences that would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Pat.

Hi Patrick,
One more suggestion..if your client is not reluctant for a small core modification then take a look at subroutine sd_word_processing_put in SAPMV45A called in module sd_word_processing_put (screen 4152)
There is a local variable called da_display in it which you can influence based on the TDID that is in focus (just set it to 'X' if you want to lock a particular TDID).
Normally (SAPLV70T)LV70T-TDID contains the TDID that user has clicked on. If it is empty then it means the user is navigating for the first time into header texts (in this case you can read XTHEAD index 1 and see whether it is the same TDID that you want to lock).
So you can check whether da_display is SPACE and T180-TRTYP is V(change mode) and T180-TCODE is VA02 and then whether (SAPLV70T)LV70T-TDID is the id that you want to lock down and then set da_display to 'X'.
Even adding fields in additional data tabs is a repair technically may be you can try the above approach (if possible)..
Hope this helps..

Address Book text file import

I'm trying to import contacts from MS Outlook 2002 to my address book via a csv text file. Apple Help says to make sure that csv files do not contain line brakes, but it doesn't say what is supposed to separate lines (i.e. contacts) in the file. Any thoughts

Thanks. Thunderbird allowed me to export to LDIF, Address book can import.
Do you know of anyway to import to a specfic group in Address book? As I import these they all end up in the ALL group and I have to manually find them and sort them.

I book text boxes that are not used will not show up in the printed book?

If I don't want to use all the text boxes for my printed book will the outline be printed anyway?(black background with white text box) I assume there is no way to turn the captions off.
Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
Which theme and layout are you discussing
In general text boxes do not show in printed books - however they must have something in them - at least a single space
But some clearly show up - in the travel theme the layouts that have text blocks that look like a torn piece of paper or a post card will of course print
Always preview your book and verify the resulting PDF to see what you rfinal book will look like - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
And usually I can find an alternative layout with no text

Locking book orientation to landscape or portrait?

I read a review that said that you could lock the orientation to portrait. My experience is that you can lock to LANDSCAPE but not portrait. There's a checkbox in one of the menus for this.
But for portrait?
And, it the portrait mode always going to do the scroll-to-end display rather than a page display? If so, portrait seems kind of useless for a book publication program.

With the introduction of iPhoto 9 (11) there's no Page Setup anymore for iPhoto. That's handled by iPhoto in the Print window by the layout and print size you've selected. We'll assume you're using Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6
We need to know more details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what do you see in iPhoto's Print window?
has it ever worked with iPhoto 6.
how are the photos oriented when viewed in an Event or album?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
