Old table style that i'm surprised Indesign doesnt have a better solution for

Hey guys, I had a question about indesign tables. In one publication I am working in, the client has expressed a desire for table to be done the way they always did them which is the following.
When the table is first being introduced to the reader (that is when it starts) it has a .75 stroke above. however if the header row occurs on any succeding pages, then that stroke should be .25 like any other strokes that may occur on the table (like at the bottom, or the line under the headers.
This is so simple but right now it has me stumped. Is there any way to do this in an easier fashion than having to convert the header to a body row recreate or fake the header row by putting it into the regular flow of rows? Thanks all!

Yeah, that's what I'm saying: you can't just apply a stroke to the top of a frame, and if your objects aren't anchored then you risk the possibility of a number of lines randomly floating around. The whole point of anchored objects is to anchor them to a particular point in the text, so when they text reflows they follow along. So: use the pen tool to draw your line, copy it to your clipboard, create an anchored object, manipulate it until it's sitting exactly where you want it, and paste your new rule in.
Positioning anchored objects precisely works well once you understand the interface, but the first time out I found it really confusing, hence my link to the help file entry on anchored objects.
There may well be a better solution for your issue, but this duct tape is what came immediately to mind.

You will probably need to create an apple Id for you grandson, so you can call that ID instead of yours.

You need to move the music from the iPod to your iTunes library on your computer then sync with the iPhone.
Assuming you have a PC you can use this: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/

I have an old iPhone 4 that finally stopped working. I have an unlimited data plan and want to keep it. When I called customer service, I was told like in the past that if you purchase the new phone at full price, you can keep your old plan. However, after some time on the phone i was told by the csr and supervisor that their system is not allowing them to complete the transaction without changing to a limited data plan. I was told to try going to a store and buy the phone. Same thing happened. Has Verizon changed something and not told their employees?

Seems like people having this problem are those coming from a phone that doesn't have a nano SIM card...so when Verizon issues them one they end up changing their plan. No clue why this keeps happening but stay on top of them. As long as you initiated the request for your plan to be reinstated within the 14 day time frame they should put it back. Interested in seeing how this plays out. There is still one phone in my house that hasn't been upgraded (an iPhone 4). I'm hoping when we do upgrade it at full retail they won't mess with her unlimited data plan

This last update forced my 83 year old mother to enter a passcode. She doesnt have one. This is her only computer. Now what Apple? The

I'm still not fully convinced that the system is asking for a previously entered passcode, rather than to set it up. If the passcode was set up before, your mother might not remember what the passcode was, but wouldn't she remember that she did set up something? What happens if she clicks on the Cancel button/word?
After each iOS upgrade you do have to re-enter the passcode. That's why you had to enter it.
My sympathies are with you. I know from personal experience how difficult it is to troubleshoot problems remotely, especially with someone who's not familiar with the proper terminology. Is it possible and reasonable for your mother to go to the Apple Genius alone?
IF she did indeed set up a password and can't remember it, there's a procedure that will reset the iPhone, but it's not pretty in terms of preserving data on the iPhone if it hadn't been backed up to iTunes or iCloud. These links might be of assistance:

How do I sync my iPad with my iTunes without it trying to put my iPod apps on the iPad? I don't want to make separate accounts because then the apps that I want on both would have to be paid for twice.

How do I sync my iPad with my iTunes without it trying to put my iPod apps on the iPad? I don't want to make separate accounts because then the apps that I want on both would have to be paid for twice.

No, they won't. Just create a second profile in iTunes for the iPad. You can then select only what you want synced to it completely separate from your iPod.
Create a multiple user iTunes music library

How can I update the apps. with the new iTune, that's really silly especially I have two iTune account for different countries

I used 2 iPhones and a iPad, 2 Apple ID for different countries so that I can download apps. from different country. Its a pain and sometimes no possible to update the apps. on the ISO devices. Apple really needs to fix this aspect. Also the new iTunes is so difficult to use, please bring back the old one.

When Itunes opens
1) Click on drop dow list button top left under the player controls
2) Select Apps
3) At the bottom right there are two buttons, Check for updates and Get More Apps
An Alternative is when iTunes opens in the top menu Click on View, Show Sidebar. Then you will see your apps page as in itunes 10. Click on that option and as before you should have two buttons, Check for updates and Get More Apps.
NB this is all within Itunes NOT the iTunes Store

G thi need to get at least itunes 10.1 for my ipod but it keeps saying that my mac doesnt have the new software for it, what do i do?

You need to be running Mac OS X 10.5 or newer to get iTunes 10. This OS version won't run on a G3.
Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 are available on DVD. Mac OS X 10.6 requires an Intel Mac.

Why did I get an emails stating that i uploaded 50 photos and have used my quota for the month when I have not uploaded ANY photos. I just installed PSE 12.

I just installed PSE12 and I think it automatically synced photos to REVEL?
I don't want all my photos on REVEL. How do i control this.
It also states that I reached my 50 max for the month. I didn't upload any photos!
i this a push for paid subscription?
There is no upload button under share?
so how is this controlled. I looked at my revel and I have some older pic up there from about 8 months ago.
All my nikon pics are in raw, when will you support this?
If I have to convert them all into jpgs, this is a tedious task and I may as well use Flikr?
Thanks,
Chet

Hi Chet-
This is a user to user forum that adobe employees also monitor and reply on.
Our records show that you have indeed hit your limit of 50 uploads. The uploads began around 5/2 from Elements on Windows to Chester's library, which was then deleted on 5/5. Each upload counts, even if you delete and re-upload.
When you first install elements, it asks if you want to make all your albums mobile or just select ones. If you say all, then all will be uploaded to revel (if you have enough uploads available). If you select certain ones, then only those will sync with revel. It sounds like you seleted either some or all and your elements organizer is trying to sync with revel as requested. The idea behind mobile albums is that they stay in sync whether you upload from elements or revel.
If you do not want to have all albums as mobile albums in the Elements Organizer,
you can open up Preferences, switch to the Adobe Revel Preferences section and if the box is checked saying
"Automatically access all my catalog media in Adobe Revel", uncheck that checkbox and click OK.
You do not have to have a premium subscription as long as you only want to upload 50 files or less to revel. A subscription will get you unlimited uploads.
Regarding raw files:
1) If you select a raw file to upload to revel from elements, it will first create a jpg and then upload it to revel 12.1. You will only see a jpg file in revel when you look from your other devices.
2 )If you then edit the raw file from elements, it will replace the old jpg in revel with the edited one.
3)If you edit the jpg file in revel (that was made from the elements raw file and uploaded to revel in 1 above), then it will show there and will also show up in the version set in elements.
4) If you import a raw file directly into revel (say from adoberevel.com rather than elements) you will not see it show up in elements. There is not a feature to sync a raw files or their associated jpg file with elements.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Kismac worked on 10.6 and not on 10.7, how can i reload the driver that works, the whole reason i have a Mac is for corporate network security testing?

With the upgrade to Lion Kismac has stopped working. The application worked fine with Snow Leopard, is there a driver patch to correct this behavior or revert the driver to one that worked?
Thank you

Yes OS X was updated. Now you need to make sure you have a version of the software tha'll work with it. Check with the vendor, follow QuickTimeKirks' link.

InDesign CS3 crashing adding table style...HELP!!

This issue started on Friday. I just starting working on a large document that will have many tables throughout, so I must use the table styles. Here is the order in which I do things to get the crash.
Place document from Word in to InDesign document
Highlight table to be changed
Convert text using paragraph styles
Alter column widths to fit page
Highlight entire table to select table style
Click desired table style
CRASH!!!!
I have tried the following things with NO LUCK:
Deleted adobefntX file multiple times (actually worked for a couple of hours first time I did it)
Deleted InDesign preferences (did nothing)
Re-created all "Styles" in InDesign (Character, Paragraph, Cell, & Table) (Did nothing)
Changed the order in which I altered the tables text and formatting (thinking it was just a silly order problem)
Unistalled and Re-installed CS3 (worked for 5 tables and then CRASH)
Updated ALL software (Adobe and Mac)
Started up in Safe mode and CRASH!!!
I realize from seraching for this problem on the web that I am probably the ONLY person having this issue, but I thought it was a font problem until I started in Safe Mode and still crashed. I am totally confused as to what I should do next. I am running on a
Model Name:    MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:    MacBookPro4,1
Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:    2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:    1
Total Number Of Cores:    2
L2 Cache:    3 MB
Memory:    4 GB
Bus Speed:    800 MHz
Boot ROM Version:    MBP41.00C1.B03
SMC Version (system):    1.27f1
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I am not familiar with InDesign Interchange, do you think this will help?
That's why I suggested it. But you didn't answer my question: Is this happening with only one file? The reason I ask is because if one file is corrupted, saving to INX and back to INDD often clears out minor corruptions. If you're seeing this in many files it's unlikely they're all corrupt.
1. Convert text using paragraph styles - I meant modified "placed" text using character styles
Now I'm really confused. Your steps are:
Place document from Word in to InDesign document
Highlight table to be changed
Modify placed text using character styles
Are you really highlighting an entire table and applying a character style? While this will work to modify certain formatting aspects, it's not really the best approach. Character styles are for characters *within* a paragraph. Paragraph styles are for *entire* paragraphs. Each table cell contains at least one full paragraph, even if it's just a single number, a space, even if there's nothing there at all. If you want to format the contents of an entire cell or range of cells with the same formatting, use a paragraph style, not a character style. If you want to italicize one or two words in some text in a cell (the way I just did), then use a character style.
I really feel that the issue either stems from fonts or from placing the document from Word.
Could be. Cheap fonts are the cause of many problems in Indesign. Indesign is really picky about fonts. But let's try the easy fix first (INX). If you don't trust it, save the .inx to a new .indd filename (keep your old .indd file as a backup).

How do you have the bottom stroke of a table show up using Table Styles and Cell Styles only?

I am using InDesign CS6, and I want to create a Table Style that has the bottom stroke show up, but does not have a table border, such as:
However, whenever I try to change the Table or Cell strokes so that the last stroke shows up, I get the entire table border, or some strange combination of borders:
Does anyone have any insight on how I can get the bottom stroke to show up while preserving my other stroke properties? Since I work with long documents, it's necessary to be able to control all of my tables through Table Styles and Cell Styles, and not by manually changing each and every table with the Stroke palette.
For reference, here are the my current Table Style properties and the resulting table:

Michael Murphy is the InDesign style-meister. He wrote "Adobe InDesign Styles" for Adobe Press, and did a great Lynda.com title on InDesign styling. Here's what he says in the book:
"As mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, with all the power of table and cell styles, it is important to understand not only how they work and what they can do for you, but also to understand their limitations.
"Two formatting features missing in table and cell styles have already been discussed: You will always have to set the column width and row height of cells when applying a table style for the first time, and you will always have to convert body rows to header and/or footer rows every time you apply a table style for first time or update the table's data....
"But there's another kind of limitation that's important to keep in mind as you are designing tables: It is very easy to design a table that cannot be completely defined by a table style. In many cases, you'll need to define an extra cell style or two that lets you complete for formatting. [my emphasis]."
So I think that's what you have to do: Apply another cell style on top of the cells at the bottom of the table after applying the table style.

Old table style that i'm surprised Indesign doesnt have a better solution for
