Major bug or incorrect setting? "intersect" gone completely wrong

Hi all,
I’m having massive issues with Illustrator CS5’s auto-alignment of shapes via the “smart guides” tool – and even when this functionality is turned off. It’s easier to see the problem when “smart guides” are turned on, however.
So what’s the issue? Well, you know when you want the centre point of two shapes, say Shape A and Shape B (both of which are non-identical), to “intersect”? You drag Shape B to the desired side of Shape A until the helpful green “intersect” confirmation appears. Great. But when I release the shape by lifting my finger from the mouse, Illustrator ALWAYS moves the shape one pixel – just one – either up, down, left or right of the intersection, depending on which side of the shapes I want the intersection to occur.
It’s maddening, and completely throws everything off. Yes, one pixel off is enough to ruin the whole graphic. Without a doubt. Especially when you're using the "shape builder tool" to merge shapes for specific results. I just want the things to intersect correctly and not continuously move off by one pixel; it’s really wasting time. Even moving the path points with the “direct selection” tool is a non-runner: they, too, refuse to snap into place where I tell them to, always moving one pixel off from the position I want them to settle in.
Ok, I definitely haven’t noticed this issue before. And it can’t be a feature – who’d want this to be happening??? But what could possibly be the issue? I’ve updated Illustrator to the newest version – still no change. One pixel off, always.
A final note: whenever an exact replica of a shape is created, it intersects perfectly with its clone. All other shapes, however, fall victim to the one-pixel-off bug.
If this is too baffling, should I uninstall and reinstall Illustrator? And, if so, how could I go about doing that?
Any help GREATLY appreciated at this stage...
- C

Excellent! Well done, all – very knowledge indeed. I’ll certainly remember this little detail in future...
Still, there chould be some possible warning re: this on the “create new doc for web” panel on start up. I checked the “align to pixel grid” by default cos, well, wasn’t I told it was all the rage? But seems like it’s not everything it’s cracked up to be after all, is it?
Anyway, well done again. Problem solved!
Cheers,
C

My music on iTunes has gone completely wrong. Could anyone please help me?

Hello everyone. I'll try and keep this as unconvoluted as possible so here goes...
I have iTunes 10.4.1.10, although the problem started with the previous update. I was trying to sync music from a Top rated playlist to a new iPhone (a 3GS with up-to-date-software) when I noticed that some of the albums which I had previously has on had disappeared. All of my albums are saved onto an external hard drive, but the album icons were not on the music library. I put the albums back on (and a few new ones) and a message came up saying that the albums/songs were already there and would I like to replace them; I clicked the 'yes' button. I went about giving the songs I wanted in my Top Rated with no problems and went to sync them as normal. This is where it goes wrong.
iTunes goes through the syncing motions (Steps 1 and 2), reaches Step 3 where it syncs the songs, syncs about 40 of the songs (there are 770 in total) before reaching one of the songs which I had found missing and had put on again. iTunes crashes ( I think that describes it: the 'syncing bar' at the top stays frozen on the song, it will not shut down but everntually stops trying to syns and I can shut it down again; and when I look at the iPod on my iPhone it says cancelling sync and then that it is updating the library before going back to normal).
This was done on the first attempts, now when I try it syncs one songs before the problem song before going wrong. A thing to note about the song before is that the song that ends up on my ipod isn't the one it said that it was syncing, and the songs do not appear to be added in any sort of order.
After this I get a message that the song that caused this cannot be found: 'Attempting to copy to the disk "Charlie's iPhone" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69).' Sometimes this is followed by a similar message which says that the song in question cannot be found.
When I put my hard drive into the computer it says that there may be a problem with some of the files on the hard drive and would I like to scan and fix them, but it does not specify whether those files are music files (there are photo files, Word files, all sorts on it). I haven't given it permission to do so yet, this has not caused problems with previous i-Pods -Phones or Tunes and I don't exactly see how this would affect it now anyway seeing as the files have been re-done (burned off of iTunes and stored on the hard drive directly), but this may help work out the problem.
A few last things. There is are albums which I definately have NOT put onto iTunes or my hard drive which has appeared on my iTunes music selection and I highly doubt are in the house (Bob Acri's self-titled album containing just song 3 and Fine Music, Vol. 1 by Richard Stoltzman containing the second song), they may have been added onto the computer by another family member and just innocently found their way on iTunes and my hard drive, but they're not the sort of thing anyone in my family would listen to, so maybe that might help someone diagnose the problem too.
Also, the same thing is happening with my laptop, which has the previous update to the one I mentioned above. This would suggets that its either the new updates fault or the hard drive's fault, I would suspect it would be the former as the laptop too did not have any issues like this, or indeed at all, before the two updates.
Anyway, thank you for taking the time for reading through, and if anyone could offer any hints or tip or advice to get iTunes back to speed I would be very grateful.
Thank you!

Having a similar issue. Everytime i restart itunes its like its the first time its run and wants to look for music. Yes, please help!

Major bug with iCloud restore and the multitasking menu that compromises privacy.

Hello there,
I very rarely post on these forums but I’ve discovered what I think is a pretty serious bug. I’ve already sent this as feedback to apple but id be interested to know if anybody else is able to re-create it or has already stumbled across the problem.
I have been able to recreate this problem twice by creating an icloud backup on an iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0) and restoring to an iphone 6 (iOS 8.0).
The problem has to do with the multitasking snapshots that appear after double clicking the home button. On the iPhone it is my understanding that there can be up to 3 ‘different’ snapshots based on when the home button is double clicked and the orientation of an app:
a) The first is when you have an app open in portrait mode and then close it or click the home button to exit. Double clicking the home button from the home screen will then display the multitasking menu including a portrait snapshot of what was last seen in that app.
b) The next is when you're in an app that supports landscape mode and double click the home button whilst ‘in app.’ This displays a multitasking menu with landscape snapshots showing what was last seen when apps were open in landscape (note that if apps can only be shown in portrait than this is the image that will be shown and it will appear sideways).
c) Finally, there is the case when you have an app open in landscape and then directly close it or press the home button, and then double press the home button. This displays a multitasking menu with portrait snapshots; however, to my knowledge these snapshots never change (they will not show the last snapshot from when the app was last open in portrait mode).
The bug is that after restoring from iCloud, the snapshot as described in ‘C’ scenario gets set to whatever was in the icloud backup for scenario ‘A.’ Because this snapshot cannot be changed it is a major bug if for instance you have personal information in the snapshot. In my case, I have my bank statement permanently appear in the snapshot for scenario C.
What’s more, if I have safari is in landscape and then close it; then at some point I open the multitasking bar before opening safari again in portrait mode; then the snapshot flashes up in the actual app for around 1-2 second before disappearing.
At the moment the only solution I can see is to setup my iPhone as new but this will be a major hassle and lose all my settings etc.
Finally, it’s worth mentioning that I think this is a bug across all ios devices with multitasking; however, with the ipads there is an easy solution because you are able to orientate the home screen in multiple ways. This means its possible to update the snapshots in a way that you can’t do on the iPhone because the home screen is locked to portrait.

so to clarify, it appears that the multitasking snapshot for the following scenario will not update: open safari and turn to landscape, exit safari using home button or multitasking bar, then double press home button. That snapshot that appears for safari doesn't ever seem to refresh. Whatever is there is stuck there and whats more it will always pop up in the actual browser for 1-2 secs the next time safari is opened after completing those steps. Im not sure when the snapshot is initially created - it must be the first ever time you close safari but as I said in my post, it also appears to be stored in iCloud backups. So I've tried:
a) hard resetting
b) clearing safari cache and history
c) resetting all settings
d) restoring from iCloud (as mentioned)
e) opening and closing closing safari using the multitasking menu (both the landscape multitasking menu that appears when you're actually in safari in landscape mode, and the multitasking menu that appear when you double press the home button on the home screen).
f) same as above except closing all tbs open in safari before then exiting.

Apple Mail has gone completely screwy since Mavericks upgrade

Hi everyone...
I truly feel like crying. I upgraded to Mavericks on both my main desktop and also my laptop and it seems that all of my mail on both the Desktop and the laptop has gone completely topsy turvy in Apple Mail. It seems like a lot of my messages are being routed in a completely different way! And most of them are simply disappearing to goodness knows where!
Why on earth when I send a message to my home email address at **@att.net does it land up in my Gmail Archived folder under one of Gmail's All Mail folders (for one of my Gmail accounts) even tho' I did NOT send to a Gmail account?
So many strange things are happening! And most of them are concering this "Archive" folder for Gmail.....SO MANY of my emails are being dumped into those Gmail ALL Mail folders when they were not even addressed to a Gmail account!! This is happening on both my laptop AND my main desktop...so I know that it is not just on one of the stations.
Also, I have been getting notifications on my phone of LOTS of messages that have been sent my way but they are not appearing in my mail app...and when I search for them I cannot find them...as if these messages have just vanished!
I cannot have this happen because I am now missing out on all of my work emails!
I have been sending a bunch of test messages to my **@chgraphicdesigns.com.account and I will see the message pop into the INBOX for just a second and then suddenly disappear. I am not able to find these test messages by doing a search for them either. What has happened to them?? I am now missing a TON of work emails I received earlier today...I had seen notification of them popping in throughout the day but was going to attend to them later due to a huge project I was working on...but now those emails are nowehere to be found!
I turned off Mail and tried out Thunderbird and that is working PERFECTLY, so it is just Apple Mail that is having all of these issues. This is just awful:(( It is so messed up I literally want to cry. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thank you so much for your help in advance:)

I have managed to restore many of my emails from Time Machine, manually re-created many of my original mailboxes and re-populated them with the restored mail messages but after doing so I discovered another bug with the latest version of the Mavericks/Mail combo. The bug that I am experiencing is that some of the emails in my folders are "invisible" when I open the folder and can only be located using a spotlight search within that mailbox for a term that occurs within the "invisible" email, at which time the previously "invisible" email is viewable but only in the results that the Spotlight search brought up. When I close the Spotlight results, the email goes back to being "invisible" again in the mailbox from which it is identified as having come from. I know that Spotlight ios not pulling it from some other mailbox that I might have accidentally placed it in, as Spotlight's search results indicate which mailbox the message was found in. I never would have discovered this bug if it weren't for the fact that I was trying to locate a message that I knew to exist because I had previously printed a hard copy. The date shown on my hard copy was non-existent on any messages in the mailbox unless I did a spotlight search for unique phrases in it, at which time it showed up. Has anyone else noticed this problem happening to them?

Major "BUG" in Imovie 9 - Audio Sync Problem on Export !

Well I'm a hard-core Apple user from day one, but unfortunately today I'm not to proud about the latest version of Imovie 9.
It seems there has been a "MAJOR audio sync problem on export" in Imovie 9, since July 2009. Apple knows about this bug for a long time now, but didn't release any bugfix yet!
Here's what it's all about:
It seems if you use the (custom /manual) speed-adjustments and not the preset slider speeds, you will experience (after exporting your movie) annoying bursts of audio from clips that had been set to mude. The strange thing is that you will only experience this audio-bug after exporting, you will NOT experience it in the project playback mode!
Here's what you can do:
Find ALL the clips in your Project that are Speed Adjusted.
Instead of using a "Custom Speed" percentage, use any of the "Preset Speeds"
Preset Speeds on the Slider = 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%
Then, export your project as usual.
No more sync issues.
Really hope That Apple will come up with a real BUGFIX soon.
It's a shame that a major bug in a otherwise GREAT PRODUCT, hasen't been fixed yet!
What's wrong with Apple?...this is not one of their finest hours.
Still A BIG fan from Imovie HD,...I'll chance to Imovie 9 when the bugs are finaly fixed!

This is TERRIBLE! I have spent so much time working on this project, and I really don't want to adjust the speed settings to the preset levels, BECAUSE I need to motion of the video to match certain musical points. I can't re-film my video, and I needed this project done TODAY. I made a music video with some kids at summer camp, and today is the last day- the day we were supposed to all watch it together, and now, I've got NOTHING!!!! (Because I can't export it without all those glitches!)
I am MAJORLY DISAPPOINTED on this one. I've made movies in windows movie maker before, and purposely used imovie, because you know, everything on macs is supposed to be better. Well, I guess I was wrong.

Two major bugs in Lion - Zoom and Safari auto fill search bar

hey there
every since I updated to Lion I've been experiencing two major bugs... zoom randomly stops working (the one where you press control and zoom in and out) even though it's set to work on the settings. Safari is also experincing a problem concerning the search bar. mine is set to google and whilst on full screen mode, it randomly stops auto filling as opposed to what happens in non full screen mode. I actually need to get off full scren mode and go back to it to make it work again. as to the zoom thing, I need to restart my computer everytime is stops working. any ideas ? thanx !!

You don't need to restart. Quit Safari or logout and back in.

The 10.8.2 version of "helpd" incorrectly sets "PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep"

Ever since upgrading from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2, I have noticed that after a short amount of time of using my machine, the system stops going into "display sleep" when idle, and it never again automatically activates the screen saver.
After investigating, I noticed that the "helpd" process is incorrectly setting "PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep". This is illustrated by the following output of "pmset -g assertions" ...
% pmset -g assertions
10/7/12 11:51:47 AM EDT
Assertion status system-wide:
PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep 1
CPUBoundAssertion            0
PreventSystemSleep           0
PreventUserIdleSystemSleep   0
ExternalMedia                0
UserIsActive                 0
ApplePushServiceTask         0
BackgroundTask               1
Listed by owning process:
pid 18(powerd): [0x00000005000001d7] 11:24:18 PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep named: "com.apple.powermanagement.delayDisplayOff"
pid 12873(helpd): [0x0000000c000002a1] 00:10:34 BackgroundTask named: "com.apple.helpd.sdmbuilding"
... etc. ...
I see no valid reason for a background process like "helpd" to prevent the screen from going to sleep ... especially a long-running background process. I therefore believe that this is a bug. My guess is that the Apple developer might have accidentally typed "PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep" instead of "PreventUserIdleSystemSleep" in the 10.8.2 "helpd" source code.
I will soon report this to Apple as a bug. In the mean time, do any of you have thoughts about this issue?
Thanks in advance.

I realize now that helpd is not the cause, but rather, certain other programs are setting the PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep power-management assertion within powerd, and that this assertion remains in effect even after those badly behaved programs exit. I'm looking for a way to clear PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep within powerd without killing and restarting powerd.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Major Bug in CS's color profiles, color management & working spaces

Hi everyone:
First of all, thanks so much for taking the time to read and answer my questions!!! I am having a having a major bug in CS3's creative suite. The problem is the following:
1. My settings are not sticking in Photoshop. Last night I selected Adobe RGB as my working space and this morning I woke up with it being Apple RGB.
2. Bridge. When I select one of the thumbnails of my edited files I see the colors and levels changing before my very eyes. My theory is that profiles are being assigned to the images as I select them.
3. Photoshop. Photoshop is assigning embedded profiles (of whatever working space is selected) into my files. I have the color management system on off so this should not be happening.
The only solutions that I came up with were to either uninstall and reinstall creative suite or upgrade to CS4. Does anyone have any other suggestions out there? I would greatly appreciate them.
All my best,
s_ke

Ok open Edit > Color Settings. Where it says "color management policies" make sure that all these are set to "preserve"
• You seem to be saying that photoshop is automatically converting images, without opening them? - this is impossible
• Document profiles are readable at the bottom of the image window and choosing 'document profile'
If something strange is happening reset your Preferences, you will not need to reinstall
It may also be that your issue is to do with monitor profiles, or something similar but its impossible to tell from your description

Home view major bug: Home view navigation not available in Common File Dialog Box (i.e. Java, Adobe Photoshop etc)

Homeview major bug: Homeview navigation not available in Common File Dialog Box (i.e. Java, Adobe Photoshop etc)
Hi
All though provisioning somewhat more flexsible and pointing forward ... things are starting to go wrong here ... i.e. pointing to a very potential lack of success introducing users to the new Home namespace/concept ...
0) Situation if you do not fix 1 + 2:
You can not release the Homeview feature like this - without fixing 1 + 2.
If not 1 +2 is fixed you might just as well leave the release of the Homeview feature out of the roadmap for Windows 10. I.e. not ready for use ... or promotion in the UI
1) How come Homeview has not been included - like other namespaces i.e. Libraries into the Common File Dialog Box?
How can such a trivial thing to do be missed? I.e. like forgetting to include Homeview into Explorer (would be absurd).
If not included into the Places Bar of the Common File Dialog Box ... Home View will be unusable - because some very visible applications like Java, Photoshop will not be able to navigate that space easily at all.
2) Finally, please fix obscure situation in the UI namespace in Explorer
Please fix obscures like having Home view, Favorites and Libraries (side-by-side complexity and confusion obscuring usability) - all similar concepts but on a different evolutionary step. I.e. have Favorites and Libraries
hidden - and add i.e. view control like to small buttons whatever to unhide/show the legacy concepts.
In any case - Home view already seem to migrate/move links from Favorites to the Homeview container.
Additionally, Home view should migrate links from Libraries to Home view - and provide similar and better functionality.
Thus going the evolutionary way from Libraries > Favorites > Home - with the later concept of Home providing links to the cloud. Even better, sync relation ships could then later (extended features for Home) be set up among the pins - i.e. concerning
cloud/network syncing.
The UI should always reflect the 1 essentional concept - and not under the hood technologies or different evolutionary stages of the same basic/essential concept (technology/implementation free - abstract: "Home with pining of user data space"
- was previously favorites or libraries (thus obsoleted)). Now the name for that concept is Home. Have it include the technology that replaces Libraries too - i.e. categorization/nesting ... and some whitespace inbetween the nesting (alike some whitespace
already there inbetween the namespaces in the Explorer UI ... provides easy "modular" reading)

Hi,
Please clarify the following:
* "X: is a network drive, but it's actually a network drive on my machine." - Is "X" a mapped drive to one of your shared folder on network?
* What is the project directory structure with respect to WEB-INF/web.xml? Are you able to see the three pages (from web & pages folder) in NitroX Editor?
* Does the modified content appear in "Design view" of index.jsp upon restarting NitroX?
Ex:
- modify one of the pages in "web" folder > save the file (alert appears)
- restart NitroX, does index.jsp display the modified content of included page?
* If possible please send the test case project which exhibits the behavior to [email protected]
Thanks,

New iWeb has a major bug!

The new update for iWeb has introduced a major bug.
Previously, if you had ANY text in a text box presented with a drop shadow, that text would become the image of text and a little warning icon would show in the upper right of the text box. If a photo were presented with a drop shadow, the icon would not appear. Same for a text box inside the main text box. It could be displayed with a drop shadow, but its text could not be highlighted and copied to the clipboard, since it is now an image of text, not selectable text.
Between yesterday's iWeb and today's, whatever drives that icon to appear has changed. Yesterday, no icon and selectable text. Today, icon and no selection possible.
All the text on this page was selectable yesterday without any issue at all. Now it's a text image and cannot be selected. Further, this makes the page completely useless for iPad viewing.
I've tested everything on the page that I can think of to get rid of this little cautionary icon. I switched off all image bullets, all separator and image drop shadows. There ore no cross-out words. Nothing works.
The page is here:

Ironical that it is a review of Final Cut Pro X.

Zapfino is not one of the Web Safe Fonts and so the conversion to an image.

Yosemite Mail - Major bug when adding a Gmail account

On a Mac I open Mail for the first time.
It proposes me to add an email account.
I select Gmail and fill the three fields (Name, email, password).
When I click on Set Up, the second field (email) and the third field (password) are emptied and the cursor blinks in the second (email) field.
I repeat the steps and click on Set Up. Same problem.
This is a major bug. Impossible to add an email account in Mail.

This did not work for me. I am frustrated beyond belief right now. I did the 'other' route, added a Mail account.. put in my google apps for business email/app-specific password.. it said verifying.. everything was well & dandy. Yay its going to work!
And then it 'unchecks' mail after it sets itself up. It works, verifies, logs in, everything. It shows the password was used from the Google Security page.. at the exact time of setting it up..
And then it unchecks itself. I cannot 'check' mail on the account. It works for Contacts, Calendars, Messages.. but not Mail and Notes.
This is only on Yosemite. My other machine has Mavericks and it works as expected. Oy.

SCORE, MAJOR BUG

I arrange music for big band and when I get the individual instrument parts looking good, and print them out, I can't get the same page layout if I have to go back and change anything in my individual parts.
If I modify the score and let say something simple like adding a letter at mesure '#45' I have to redo all the formatting for every individual parts (for ALL THE BAND =19 parts)!! before printing the charts...
Does someone can help me to fix this? That's the only MAJOR BUG in Logic.
I will need to go back to Finale.. if nobody helps me.
jOTaz

I've written a number of big band charts using logic. While it's not the best program for parts, I prefer it to others because a) I know the program so well, b) I can really actualize the arrangement in Logic due to its strong midi and audio capabilities. and c) I know the program so well...
Here are some tricks that have helped me;
Note that if you change a part by moving the spacing on the staff (to make it fit nicely on two sheets for instance) all other parts that use that same "Staff Style" will have that same spacing change. To avoid this, duplicate or copy staff styles and name them for each part.
When I get the part to look how I want it, I make a PDF of it so that makes it easy to access without opening Logic. Also, you can email the parts that way. This can be done from the OSX print menue where it says; PDF
Get key commands for things like accents, beaming, sharps, flats and force accidental.
Use the 1st and 2nd ending tool to put in things like "chorus" or other rehearsal sign posts.
Obvious things you probably are already doing.
Use the chord symbols and copy them to other parts, they transpose with the part which is nice.
Use multiple rests.
Use the slash setting on the score style palette for rhythm section parts.
Don't "justify" last measure
BTW... Logic 7 was way better at all this stuff than Logic 8. I haven't used Logic 9 to see if they've fixed or changed any of the stuff they messed up, I suspect not... If you can use L7, you'll be a lot happier.
Good luck. Check out my stuff www.RadMusic.net and look up "Symphomaniacs" on CD baby.
