Need help with illustrator problem

First problem is when i selected object and try to move, the object is copying itself.
Second is when i selected brushes or pencil, The smooth tool is appeal and i can not draw anything.
Anyone know how to solve this problem?
Cheers
mimi

Darn this problem just kicked in for me. I was working fine then suddenly dragging items is duplicating them as though I was pushing option. It doesn't happen though if I move an item with arrow keys. I've been using the character viewer and making characters using the option key so I could have pressed some key combo all unknowing. (Similar mystery problem happened when I automatically pressed cmd-H which is the combo for hide in most apps but not Illustrator. In Illustrator this inconveniantly hides edges. Now I know that if selection is a problem I should see if I cmd-H'ed at some point but I found this out the hard way :/ .)
Additionally, when I type characters using the type tool I am NOT getting the characters that would happen when pressing option so the option key is not stuck. Nor is the option key malfunctioning in other apps. Moreover, I just tested and like the OP smooth tool is selected instead of pencil.
This is very aggravating.

I need help with illustrator 10

I need help with illustrator 10, I have artwork I need to finish in it and it keep kicking me off.
I have added transparency, using SVG effects, a lot more detail and that is when it started kicking me off. I just added 2 gb of ram thinking it was ram I needed but it keeps kicking me off.
I think there is something I need to change in how I save it???
I have a mini mac, 10.5.8
The screen also turns white while I am working and when it does kick me off it says there is an error.I know I am behind the times but I am just trying to get this deadline done and be able to update my computer and such in a few months. Help!

I have very simple artwork and when I add any textures or transparency or
any type of detail from SVG effects it will not let me copy it and paste or
when I do try to move it everything turns white or it just kicks me off.
Then I cannot get back onto illustrator. It takes a very long time to save
it or move things. This has not happened before. I have been designing
for 25 years and am self taught. I can get on my simple designs. I am
saving my artwork as AI document. I just have to finish the designs and
put them into dropbox. I do not need to print. I did add 2 GB of ram
thinking the extra memory would help. I think I need to turn something off
and turn something on. There is an error window that comes up the says the
application illustrator has quit unexpectedly. I am at a dead end on what
to do!

Need help with daq problem

Hi,
I need to generate a clock with a period of 20 micro seconds, duty cycle of
approx 20% and a data line as well as an address line all linked to the clock
pulse.
I have tried many different solutions, all using the Daq PCI-1200 but nothing
seems to work correctly. Usually the system bombs and I have to do a manual
reset to over come the problem.
Any suggestions?
Ken

You'll need an external clock, expecially under Windows.
Windows ticks with appr. 18 Hz, and the CPU tick isn't always available

Need help with illustrator cs5

Hi everyone.....first time on a forum and hope someone can help. I am using illustrator cs5 on OSx snow leapard. I am designing wings, following a demo and when I get to the part where I am supposed to use the reflect tool, I come to grief. Firstly the reflect tool dialogue box has two windows in the options part.....patterns or objects. I am supposed to be able to uncheck these but they are greyed out and not changeable. Secondly when I try to reflect my wing, using the option key to copy as well, the program appears to turn my wing over and give me a view of what would be the back of the wing, not a reflection. My fella and I have spent some considerable time trying to figure out what the issue is but to no avail...........Hope someone can help ..........Josephine Star.

Josephine,
In the future, please try to title your threads with something meaningful. Titles like "help" or "need help with Illustrator" or "Beginner Question" are useless. Fairly all posts are about "help with Illustrator" and about 98% of them are from beginners.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
why won't my reflect tool operate properly.....we have just spent another hour trying to sort it out.
Is your Reflect Tool not operating as shown in Illustrator's instructions (online Help)? If not, how is it behaving differently?
Have you looked at the instructions? If not, do you not think that spending over an hour while typing posts in an online forum, waiting for answers (which are as often incorrect as correct) for every little question you may have about Illustrator is a much less time-efficient way to learn the program than reading the provided documentation?
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
when I try to reflect my wing, using the option key to copy as well, the program appears to turn my wing over and give me a view of what would be the back of the wing, not a reflection
"A view of what would be the back" (i.e.; a mirror image) is what Reflect means in the context of Illustrator's Reflect tool. What did you expect different?
Clicking with the Reflect Tool while holding alt/opt(Windows/Mac) sets the center of transformation where you click and invokes the dialog. So, for example, if the object is bilaterally symetrical about its vertical axis (like an upward-pointing triangle), and you altClick its center and then click OK in the resulting dialog, there will be no difference, because the mirror image of such a triangle reflected across a vertical axis would be identical.
Unless it changed in CS5 (don't have it loaded on this laptop)--which I doubt, clicking Copy instead of OK in the dialog is what makes a reflected copy; not holding the alt/opt key.
If you...
1. Mousedown with the Reflect Tool
2. Press and hold Alt
3. Drag
...then you will reflect the object about the position where you mousedown, interactively (without invoking the dialog). While doing so, if you also add the Shift key before mouseup, the reflection will be a copy.

Need help with getResource() problem under weblogic 6.1

Hey all,
          I've got a serious problem that I can't figure out. This should be really
          simple - but it's alluding me. I have an ear file with a number of servlets
          inside it. This ear file also contains a resource that my servlets want to
          read from. This resource is located (within the ear file) at:
          "/content/structure/a.txt". The file contains raw ascii.
          To have my serlvet read from this file, I thought it would be as simple as:
          URL content =
          servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/a.txt");
          // pw is an instance of PrintWriter
          pw.print(content.getContent());
          However, when I execute the above I get the following exception:
          java.lang.NullPointerException
          at
          java.net.URLConnection.stripOffParameters(URLConnection.java:1011)
          at java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java:979)
          at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java:581)
          OK, so fine - I figure that I'm new to this. The documentation for the URL
          class tells me there is another way around this. It says that rather then
          calling getContent() directly, I can open a stream on the URL and read from
          that, like so:
          URL content =
          servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/scenario2resourc
          es.txt");
          FileInputStream fis = content.openStream();
          but when I do this I get the following different exception:
          java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.utils.zip.SafeZipFileInputStream^M
          at Utility.writeFileToOutput(Utility.java:134)^M
          Apparently this thing is trying to return a web-logic-specific stream (which
          is incompatible with an FileInputStream) - which I don't want to use or
          learn about since I want my stuff to work under other webservers.
          Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? This should be simple.

Wenjin,
          I appreciate your response. I tried treating it as a normal InputStream -
          but it didn't make any difference. Here's what I did:
          URL content =
          servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/scenario2resourc
          es.txt");
          InputStream is = (InputStream)content.getContent();
          And here's the exception:
          java.lang.NullPointerException^M
          at
          java.net.URLConnection.stripOffParameters(URLConnection.java:1011)^M
          at
          java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java:979)^M
          at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java:554)^M
          at java.net.URL.getContent(URL.java:807)^M
          at Utility.writeFileToOutput(Utility.java:134)^M
          You can see that it is definitely breaking somewhere in getContent().
          If you have any other ideas, I'd appreciate hearing about them.

Need Help with Scrolling Problem

I have a JTree displayed in scrollpane. Based on search criterial I select the nodes where the search criteria is found. If the match is located off the screen further down into the tree, the node is highlighted but the scrollpane doesn't automatically scroll down to show it. Any help with this problem is appreciated.

Wow.. Thanks. I thought I would need some fancy code to handle this problem. scrollPathToVisible did it for me. Thanks.

Need help with a problem after cloning my HD....

I recently cloned my HD to a backup drive. I did an erase and install of Tiger on my original drive. I recently cloned everything back onto my original drive from my backup drive. Now when I go to boot up on my original drive, for the first time ever I must type a Username and Password to log on to the computer. Trouble with this is, I tried my username and password and it would not work. I double, triple, quadruple checked my spelling and tried different combinations just in case i was being stupid, NOPE. It won't let me log on to my main HD. Can anyone help with this?

Let me get this straight. You did
1: Cloned your original boot drive to a external - not a problem
(did you boot from the clone to check it out?, did you use cloning software or???)
2: You erased your original boot drive - ok no problem.
3: You then installed Tiger on your original boot drive - ok no problem there
4: But you cloned from your clone back onto your original, freshly installed Tiger drive?
Why did you do this?
Cloning copies the whole drive, all the little hidden stuff, copy protection etc.
That's why it's called a clone.
Did you mean to say you copied certain folders/files from the clone onto the new Tiger install on your original boot drive?
What folders/files was these?
You need to copy the contents of certain folders inside your User folder, not the folders themselves.
What software did you use to clone with?

I need help with simple problems. im a student.

i'd like to be advanced with my studies so i will post questions.. i need help on how to answer. thank you.
1. create a java program that will evaluate if the value entered is a positive, negative, vowel, consonant and special characters.
im actually done with the positive and negative using if else statements.. i used an integer data type. now my question is how do conjoin the characters when i need to evaluate a vowel and a consonant. i cant use char either. please help. i dont know what to do yet.
2. create java program that will translate the input from numbers to words. e.g. input:123 output: one hundred twenty-three.
i have an idea to use a switch case statement. but i have no idea on how will i be able to do it. so if you guys can help me.. well then thankies..

Welcome to the Sun forums. First, please note that you have posted in the wrong forum. This forum is for topics related to Sun's JavaHelp product. You should post your questions in the New to Java forum.
As part of your learning, you will have to develop the ability to select an approach to a problem, create a design that reflects that approach, and then implement the design with code that you create.
So, it's inappropriate for us to take the problem statement that you have been given and short-circuit your learning process by giving you the implemented problem solution. We can comment on the individual questions that you may have, and point out problems and errors that we see in the code that you develop.
As a hint, when you are stuck, forget about Java and programming. Just start with a sheet of paper and a pencil, and figure out how to layout the task on paper. The consider how to translate that to programming.

Need help with illustrator CS5 updates problem

Hi guys.....this my first time on a forum and hope someone can help. I am using Adobe CS5 on windows vista.
When there is upcoming updates in Application Manager for Illustrator CS5 in the beginning, I face no problem untill now.

I have spent some considerable time trying to figure out what the issue is but i have no idea. Hope someone can help.
Thank You

Need help with video problems

Hi!
Back in May I was having problems with video on my Mac. I was helped by this site and am hoping for more help. I downloaded the realaudio, but was still having problems. I assumed because I was on dial up. It was so slow. It would take forever to load and then play for a few minutes then need to load some more. I now have DSL and was looking forward to kissing the video problems good-bye! My new problem is that when I try to watch or listen to anything like innertube it "stutters." Is there something else I should be doing? How can I fix this problem?

With those specs you should be absolutely fine. I would suggest that you update to 10.4.10 at least (download the full Combo updater). Once you are on that:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. This: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=19845 may also interest you.)
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
See also the very informative post from QuickTimeKirk dated Dec 3, 2007 in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1268489&tstart=0
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Need help with G4 problem

Months ago I have a problem on my G4 MDD which intermittently shuts down after putting it to sleep. Now some new problems are coming out. First one I noticed is that sometimes even the power switch light would turn off even though the computer is still on. I can still use the internet and such but noticed that when I need to digitized video footage using FCE there would be some noise on the video which leads me to conclude that the power is unstable. Am I correct in this? 2nd problem is sometimes it will not even power up unless I either pull the plug and plug it in again or open the side of the computer. Now regarding opening the side of the computer, I noticed that if I powered it up with the side door opened and try to close it the computer will shut down. Sometimes I managed to close the door and it will stay on with out a problem. Right now I just leave the side door open and so far power seems to be ok for 72 hours. So is this a logic board problem or a connection problem between the psu and the logic board?

I'm leaning towards Tom's opinion of heat, too. Modern Macs have thermal sensors that shut down the computer if key temps rise too high. Dual processor MDDs run especially hot, as do MDDs with both slots in the front drive bay occupied.
The two cheap things to do first are a) give the inside a cleaning, focusing on the main fan and its housing, and b) check your workspace to ensure that there is room around the computer for intake and exhaust air.
The primary air intake is not the four molded "ducts" on the front but rather the area at the bottom of the front panel below them. Keep that area clear--it's best not to put "bottom breather" computers like the MDD on the floor where that can pull in even more dirt. Crowding the exhaust in the back can run up temps, too. Try to position the tower so nothing is within 8 inches of the back,

Need help with download problems on Ipod-5th Generation

Hello everyone. Another newbie here who is not technologically inclined but love their Ipod. I just purchased new music videos from the Itunes store, connected my Ipod to the PC and left everything alone until I saw the update complete prompt. However, I am now in a panic because not only did it not sync my new purchases but...all of my previously purchased TV shows, music videos, etc are no longer on my Ipod. I did not request nor click to have anything erased. What can I do to restore my complete library of tunes, videos, tv shows, as I have spent a lot of money on my purchases for this Ipod?
Also, while I'm asking for help: do any of you have problems with downloads timing out before the downloads from the Itunes Store are complete? I purchased several music videos during downloads that said there was an error due to download timeouts; not only did the items never show up in my library but never synced to my Ipod. There were error codes assigned to these videos but...who do I do when this happens? Thanks in advance.

Never heard of that. Are you sure?

Could not disagree more. Image apps are for
creating/manipulating images.
Period. The HTML they spew is second-rate at best.

Need help with Backup problems - anyone seen this before?

I am experiencing 2 primary problems:
1) When attempting a recent backup with HotSync on my desktop PC (Treo 700p, HotSync Manager v. 6.01, XP): I hadn't backed up for a few weeks, and this time it crashed sometime during the backup of the Calendar (and this behavior is repeated). So I then unchecked the backup of Calendar, but then it just hung on Contacts for about 15 minutes, so I realized it wasn't doing anything anymore (I have lots of contacts, but not not 15 minutes worth). At this point I gave up, but I obviously need to figure out how to make HotSync work again. Any ideas?
2) (not sure if this is the forum to address this): When using Backup Buddy v. 2.04 a couple of days ago, every time I tried to backup, it would get maybe 1/5th into the backup and crash and restart. I figured out in short order that Address.DB is what was causing the crash. [I tried to e-mail the file so I could examine it and save it, but just attaching it in SnapperMail made the device crash]. So I took the chance of deleting the Address.DB (as it seemed small and didn't appear to contain any backup information), and it looks like all of my information was retained. My question here is: two times since the initial problem, something has recreated Address.DB, which again causes the 700p to crash, so I have had to delete it again. So when is this file being (re)created, and what is the purpose of it?
An additional (minor) difficulty that I've had occur on a couple of occasions: After a recovery (where my BackupBuddy information was more current than my HotSync data), I restored, and all the calendar entries were double - 2 identical entries adjacent to one another. Has anyone seen this?
Thanks in advance -
