A little bit about drive S.M.A.R.T. status:
"The most basic information that SMART provides is the SMART status. It provides only two values: "threshold not exceeded" and "threshold exceeded". Often these are represented as "drive OK" or "drive fail" respectively. A "threshold exceeded" value is intended to indicate that there is a relatively high probability that the drive will not be able to honor its specification in the future: that is, the drive is "about to fail". The predicted failure may be catastrophic or may be something as subtle as the inability to write to certain sectors, or perhaps slower performance than the manufacturer's declared minimum."

Convert jpg to pdf with proper bounding box for LaTeX

Hi,
does anybody know how I can use Acrobat 8 Professional on my Mac to convert a jpg into a pdf that with a proper bounding box for LaTeX?
When I import the jpg and save it as a pdf, then LaTeX cannot determine the correct size, and, therefore, the picture appears way too big in LaTeX's output.
The LaTeX Error message is "Cannot determine size of graphic in myPic.pdf (no BoundingBox)"
On my Mac I don't even know how to check the size of the bounding box.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Kurt

Hi - thanks for all the answers.
I have tried to use Graphics Converter but it has way too many options, and if I just use the default one's, the pdf quality is changed, so black does not appear as black anymore but slightly grey. And since Graphics Converter changed the pdf unexpectedly, I don't want to risk that it changes something else that I might miss now and only realize when the manuscript is in print.
Currently, I cannot check if the correct Bounding Box would be set using Graphics Converter: My LaTeX implementation shows the pdf in the correct size, even without bounding box, but the LaTeX implementation of the journal I am submitting the graphics to does not, and since I already submitted the manuscript, I cannot check anymore. Using GhostView on a PC would help, but on a Mac I don't get GhostScript to do that.
I cannot use jpg's directly, as the journal does not support jpg's.
The figures were prepared using photoshop, so maybe I try exporting them directly from there, but as far as I remember, this did not set the bounding box correctly either. But since I am not sure I need to test it again.
Is there a way to view the bounding box?
I thought that the bounding box just gives the dimensions in pixels, so does the actual size really matter?
Thanks a lot.

How much data is being backed-up from each Mac? (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
Most likely, there just isn't room. Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't. Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).

I have downloaded the latest pages update on my iPad, but my iMac still has Pages version 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it on my desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open in Pages. I get a message that it can't be opened because the version is too old. I sent the document as a PDF and it worked. But I want to be able to use Pages back and forth. HOw do I update the Pages version on my desktop iMac?

The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps. On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory, and it's based our Mail, the only app not updated. Ideas?

Maverick and Your System message
I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps (Pages, Aperture, iPhoto, Numbers & iMovie, too) in the process.
On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory message. But it's not Calendar, it's Mail that not only won't open, but when it does now, it takes the entire system out with it.
I open Safari, and it works. I open Firefox, and it works and Safari still works. I open Calendar and it works, Safari and Firefox continue to work. I open Reminders, and everything still works.
I open Aperture, and it opens Finder instead, showing the 3.5 update that was installed two days ago (and Aperture has functioned), but doesn't seem to update the app; after about 20 seconds the update disappears and I can now open Aperture and it shows I'm now opening the updated Aperture, which it didn't show before.
I click on Mail, and the cursor spins for ten minutes. The mail window finally opens, but the cursor spins and does not connect to upload new mail, and I finally Force Quit Mail. Since the Maverick update, even though Mail was not updated (and maybe because Mail was not updated), I have been able to receive emails twice, and then the program crashed.
Besides the Aperture app, Pages didn't fully update on the iMac, and I had to remove the old Pages icon from the dock after the new program loaded up from Applications.
Any ideas?

Why did bounding boxes go away in the latest version of illustrator?

I just installed the latest version of AI after my machine died and for some reason I no longer have a bounding box when selecting a single shape with the selection tool. When selecting multiple shapes I do get a bounding box but not for single objects. Can anyone help me turn the bounding box feature back on or possibly revert to an older version? PLEASE HELP!!!!

yuchangeai,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks).
So a switch to Mavericks with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

Bounding box for text

Howdy, I am looking for a way to get the bounding box of some text. I can do it with a graphics2d object, but there are some times when I want to get the bounding box without having access to a graphics objects. I have looked at several classes in the API and it seems that they either take a graphics object or one of their parameters takes a graphics object (Parameter A uses a graphics object of method A, for example). Is there a way to do it without one?
Thanks.

Bounding box for selecting components

Hi,
in my application i have to implement a bounding box to select some displayed components (panels or icons). I have searched for a JAVA-technique for bounding boxes, but i did not found anything.
Does anybody know a JAVA-API that supports bounding boxes ?

Why can't I see the bounding box for objects on the pasteboard?

Adobe CC sucks. Why last week was I able to see the bounding box of objects that I had on the pasteboard in InDesign CC, including objects that didn't contain anything yet, and now suddenly this week I can't see them?
It seems as though every week something inexplicably gets changed around. First Save As had no shortcut, then suddenly the shortcut is back, but it doesn't work.
Get it together Adobe. I don't want to be paying a subscription for a product that feels as though it's still in Beta mode.

Hi Steve,
Yes thanks, I don't think I was clear in what I wrote. I knew that they could be turned back on, but why did I open InDesign this morning to find my workspace/preferences different than how I left them on Friday?
And I know it isn't a case of my mistakenly turning off the frame edges, because the operator that sits next to me had the exact same thing happen to her copy of InDesign this morning also.
I understand the requirement to update things, but it really does feel as though I'm using software that is still in testing.

Bounding box for point and radius

I am using google maps and WGS 84 (4326).
I am trying to get the bounding box that contains a circle of a given radius in miles starting at a given lat/lon.
I saw SDO_GEOM.SDO_MBR, but I wasn't sure how to do the circle (or at the least get points m miles north, south, east, and west of a given point)

that works.
I am using PHP and OCI8 So, I also used SDO_UTIL.TO_WKTGEOMETRY to get a text version of the box that I then parsed in PHP. Otherwise, it would not give me the value of the box.
               SELECT SDO_UTIL.TO_WKTGEOMETRY(SDO_GEOM.SDO_MBR(
                    SDO_GEOM.SDO_BUFFER(
                         SDO_GEOMETRY

Enlarged bounding box around imported vector images (InDesign/Illustrator CC 2014)

Hi all, I've searched the forum for an answer but can't seem to find one. Hopefully someone can help.
Ever since my upgrade to CC2014, whenever I import a vector image from Illustrator into InDesign, the image comes in with an expanded bounding box. Unlike in the old days (i.e., the moment before I upgraded), when the bounding box would exactly enclose my image with no extra white space on any of the sides.
Sometimes the bounding box is small and sometimes it's gigantic. I cannot determine any rhyme or reason why it varies. Sometimes it's wider on the sides than on the top/bottom. Other times it's gigantic on one side but not the others. Basically, it's all over the place with no consistency that I can determine.
I find it incredibly visually distracting to have these weird-sized bounding boxes around my art, and it sucks to have to constantly resize them on every imported image.
I promise there are no guides, stray points, etc. in the Illustrator files. There is absolutely nothing "invisible yet there" that would create these expanded bounding boxes.
Two samples are below.
Note on this first one that the bounding box is wider at the right than the left.
On this second sample, note that the bounding box is gigantic in general, but especially at the top, and it's smaller on the sides/bottom. Huh?
Any ideas? I desperately want this to stop. Just want a bounding box that exactly encloses my artwork after I import it.
Thank you for your ideas or suggestions,
Laurie

Hi Bob, thanks very much for this info. I figured there was a checkbox hidden somewhere...
I tried all of the cropping options and although it seems like this would be a fix, it's unfortunately not fully resolving the issue.
The option that gets me closest is "crop to art." However, as you can see from the sample below, there's still a pretty large gap at the bottom, as well as a small one at the left side. (The top and right actually are cropped to the art, as requested.)
Do you have any other suggestions of things I can try? Or does anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks again,
Laurie
