Mapping Symbol as Art on 3D Revolve Problem

Basically I am trying to map a world map vector (symbol) onto a 3d revolve half circle in Illustrator. The problem I am having is that the quality of the map vector is significantly reduced when mapped on the 3d revolve. Is there any way I can have it keep it's "full" vector quality or is there something else I am missing.
3D Revolve Vector:

Actual Vector:

So why the loss in quality and how can I prevent this?

We have to see the actual art to help you. Can you post the file or show us a screen shot of the actual revolved art and the appearance panel and well and the 3D revolve dialog while the art is selected?

Broken map symbol with question mark.

My parents IMac gives a broken map symbol with question mark when they tried to start the computer. What can I do to solve this problem?

Flash Player uses its own browser plug-in.
What happens when you get a QT ? means the association to Flash Media isn't going to the correct plug-in.
Since QuickTime can't play most modern Flash Media files is throws back an error (QT logo and the ?).
It also means the Flash Media plug-in is not being used.
Turning off QuickTime (removing the plug-in) can't fix a Flash Media plug-in error. Each user must remove the association by editing the MIME Settings found in the QuickTime Control Panel (PC) or the QuickTime System Preferences/Advanced tab.
As always with these edits or adjustments the browser must be quit and relaunched for these changes to take effect.

Map Symbols

Hello everyone! I have a question concerning the symbols on map. You see, I'm making a world map in Photoshop (atlas style), and I am wondering what to use as map symbols (for city sizes and such). So I settled for the standard ones (image below), but I have no idea how to make these, or how to start making these.
Should I use the brush tool, or perhaps the custom shape tool (and can someone tell me the difference between those two?), or something entirely else? Thanks.
P.S. Please don't say: "Why don't you just copy the icons?", because they are kind of low-res and I really want to learn this myself.

I recommend that you perform such a task in a vector programm like Illustrator.
Barring that and with refernce to
Should I use the brush tool, or perhaps the custom shape tool (and can someone tell me the difference between those two?)
the output of the Shape Tool can be significantly better because eps and pdf can maintain vector data which would be beneficial for printing when compared to the pixel data a Brush would produce.
But both would not initially provide you with two color objects like Hamlet, Village etc.
but I have no idea how to make these, or how to start making these.

Creating a symbol from shape with gaussian blur = problem

I am trying to create artwork to map to a globe using the 3D revolve effect...the problem is the shape/layer I'm using to create the "glow" effect (compound path filled with white and a gaussian blur applied):
When I create a symbol out of this, here is the problem (note the "excess" areas on the top and right):
...resulting in this messed up globe...
Doing an outer glow effect instead of gaussian blur results in the same thing (its definitely the blur causing this, deleting the shape fixes the problem). Expanding the shape with the blur results in an image the same size as the bounding box in image 2 above. Any ideas how to address this?
thx

Yep, that did it! (something strange going on now with the longitude/latitude lines going thru India, but I'll work on that later)...Thank you!

Some of the times when I print a document from the internet using my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro printer, the letters appear in the PDF as symbols, How do I correct the problem?

On many documents that I try and print from the internet such as receipts, conformations, etc, using my Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional printer, the PDF shows some if not all the letters as symbols. I think it might be font issue, but do not know how to fix the problem. Any suggestions.

XSLT mapping calls Java class, with hardcoded values-problem at Transport

Hi All,
I know the subject may be misguiding, but i need some suggestions how to handle the following scenario.
From my XSLT mapping, i am calling a java function which performs a data connection to an oracle database and then returns some values, whcih i have mapped in the mapping.
The problem is, i have hardcoded the Connection parameters....
and now that we transport these objects to production, the connection parameters will change.
I thought of two solutions
1) i create a new java class for Production system
2) i define the parameters as input arguemnts to my method, whcih is called from XSLT mapping
But in both cases, if theres any chg in future, there will a dependancy on one of the objects to be changed and sent again.
What is the suggested way? is there nothing like a property file(like in EP), where you define dependant parameters...and the file is only changed.
XI Gurus, please suggest me the correct way to handle.....
Thanks a lot.
Mona

Mona,
This is what i do..
1) Parametrize ur current calling class,
2) define a separate class called dbConnect.java there, you have all your parameters that way when there is a change your main program is untouched, and you just need to change the dbconnect.
The call from your current class will be just like
dbConnect.Runsql("sql as a string");
the runSql can then internally call
dbConnect().connect(); //that should do the connection opening.
then create a prepared statement from your string input and call the db.......
this is the implementation that would be best suited for your scenario, you can further parametrize the method to where you can add the database params from the calling xml..so all that needs to be done when the machine is changed or any param is changed is ..modify the xml........not too bad was that.....
Regards

Any fix for random art and song order problems after adding new music?

If I sync my touch with itunes as a restore, all cover art, albums and playlists are correct. Once I add anything new or make a change and re-sync, random cover art is missing and random songs are in the wrong order. The only way to fix the problems is through a complete restore. Has anyone else had this problem or figured out a fix? I am using the latest itunes on a PC with XP.

A few issues, but sorry let me try to understand.
Adding new music, 'XXXX's iPod cannot be written or read'' can you let me know the number. most likely music format is not iPod Compatible like HE-AAC.
started skipping songs - these are normally due to corrupted ID3 tags, try converting them -File-> Advance -> IPOD version or use MP3 validator to fix all songs in the library. (My Apologies, only work for MP3 music that skipped)
As for item 2, you can try Hard Reset if you like to download MP3 validator.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

Sluggish at initial opening and loading websites, google maps print and images not working right, problems are not present in Chrome and Safari

Firefox is very slow opening. Web pages load slowly. When I go to images in a Google search, the pictures take a long time to load, and when I click on an image, then the back arrow, the loading time for the previous page is very slow. When I print a Google map, it is small, rather than full-page. In Google Chrome or Safari, the same actions product immediate results. I cannot get Google desktop to work.

This sounds like a network problem, since it goes away when you connect through a different network. You'll need to talk to your university's IT department about this.

X6 MP3 art tag image quality problem

I'm willing to accept this could be an issue with my media software transferring the MP3s (MediaMonkey - an otherwise excellent application), so I'm asking this question on their forum too.
I've recently synced a load of MP3 files from my main PC to my X6 Mass Storage via USB.
For some reason, most of the albums have had the album art images reduced in size enormously so they look really blurred and ugly.
Is this a known issue with the X6, or perhaps a problem with my media software?

its a problem with the images you tagged. They should be at least 400x400 to show the way they do on psycho's picture.

COPA cost base same cond. map to NET Sales different cost elements problem

Hi Guru,
I have the following issue:
I mapped ONE billing condition type assigned to ONE value field. ZPCD is assigned to value field VV110 (net sales)
That one condition type can post to 2 different cost element based on the account assignment group of the item
One cost element is set up and revenue type 11 and the value is posted to COPA value field NET SALES
The other cost element is set up as cost type 1 and the posting to COPA is blank i.e. no posting to value field NET SALES
In both cases a COPA document is created i.e. total 2 COPA documents one for each posting.
What is the problem??
Thanks
Linda

For the purchased products, you may perhaps use the condition type VPRS to bring in the material price from the material master.

No Source for the BMS maps in Tuxedo ART

I have been looking at the Tuxoedo ART product. I was looking at the samples provided in for the CICS runtime. It seems like the samples do not have the BMS map source. Is there a way that anyone can publish the source for the abanner.mpdef and csignon.mpdef maps.
Thanks,

If they are samples, they should be provided with all its entirety with source. How will one know if all the migration utilities work properly unless a full sample migration can be done. I feel like just having packaged samples which have already been compiled does not show all the utilities working properly.
Are there other samples that have the bms map source available?
Please let me know if I am missing something here.
Thanks,

Itunes Album Art and mp3 play problem

I could use some advice on a solution or what to try next. I have 30k+ songs that I added album art too and synced with my video Ipod. Everything was going fine until a couple of days ago. I noticed in Itunes that certain albums now do not display the album art, Where the album art should be, it says "album artwork not modifiable" For these same albums, Itunes won't play the songs either. I press the play button and nothing happens. The artwork is still on my Ipod, and I can play the music from my Ipod, but not on Itunes.
I have verified that the compatibility mode solution did not fix my problem.
The files are all unprotected mp3's
The MP3's are not hidden or write protected.
The MP3's play in Windows media player just fine.
When I copy the files from my Itunes library to another folder, and try to re-import the music, Itunes goes through the motions of re-adding the music but does not add the songs.
I have taken the MP3's and ran them through DBpowerAMP and converted the unplayable MP3 to a new MP3 file and then Itunes recognizes it, but I have lost my artwork.
With the quantity of songs I have and the fact that not all songs are corrupt, I'm stuck on how to get Itunes to recognize this music again. Is this an Itunes problem? What should I try next? I'm running Win XP SP2, Itunes 6.0.3.5.

I had this happen to one song file. I never figured out why, but it seemed that the addition of the artwork corrupted the file so that it was unplayable within iTunes. No other of my 13,000 songs have ever had this problem.
This was an AAC format song in my case. See this thread for some possible fixes for MP3 files:

Ovi Maps v3.06 (Betalabs) on Nokia N8, problem wit...

Hi,
I encounter a problem with the "checkin" on Ovi Maps v3.06 from the Betalabs. It use to function perfectly untill a few days ago i always have the message "Network problem, please try again later" each time i try to checkin. Fact is that there is no problem with my network, all other function and apps are working just fine on my N8.
I completly reinstalled Ovi Maps 3.06, still the same problem. Restarting the phone doesn't help eather.
Anyone with the same problem? Or any advice?
Thx
N8-Wizard !!! Click the white star if you are happy with my help !!!

The first I would try is to uninstall and see if it that stops the restarting. If it does try reinstalling Ovi Maps v3.06 again and see f it recurs. Don't forget to follow the betalabs instructions and download new map data after the install.

Image map rendered correctly in Firefox, but with problems in chrome & IE

Hi All,
I have created a simple application with JSF 2.0.
The page is made by an image with a map. Clicking on the hotspot another page is shown.
I use a graphicImage tag with reference to a map with some link "hotspots".
Everything works fine in Firefox.
But, in Chrom the Image is shown, but the hotspot is not there....
In IE, the page does not open up, and I'm prompted for the download of the file (!?).
Any help? what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Giorgio
