Paste bug - need help!

I'm finding it almost impossible to paste into my blog's MovableType installation, and I usually cycle through several options (both in the editing options and other things) before being able to paste in the iPad. Different every time.
Anyone have any idea what the origin of the bug is, and whether there's an easy workaround?

Hmmm, not sure I understand completely but many blogs use proprietary text entry boxes to write your blog in. Some also require turning on a certain feature in order to be able to paste into the blog's text entry box (like blogger.com). You could also try using an HTML editor if one is available at your blog site. They're fully compatible with Safari on the iPad. But you'll lose a lot of formatting options that way.
Sorry if I'm not addressing your problem.

  • AS3 rotation issue/bug need help.

    Ok I have been converting a AS2  flash based sight to AS3. With the project I have to make new  transitions for the pages. The client wants these transitions to be in  3d, which ive worked with before and have had no problems. However for  the last few hours ive had this killer issue that wont go away.
    When using  rotationZ or rotationX on any element the rotation value is not based on  360 degrease but instead based on a random number. For example I can  rotate a box on the stage by 0.03 and it will be ~rotated 180 degrease,  but if I do the same rotation on another box on the stage it will go to  ~40 degrease.
    Im  clueless to why this is happing and if I try to duplicate the error in  another file it wont happen. So... anyone able to give me a heads up at  what may be causing this?
    For those asking how im rotating it.
    box.rotationY  = 45;
    box2.rotationY = 90;

    Ok... heres the min code for the error to happen my side.
    If you need an XML you can make your own to test this using the fallowing structer or just use this.

  • Major bug-NEED HELP. Move any audio then no sound.

    Hey..I came across what has to be a bug and it's stopped me in my tracks. I have the latest version Of Logic Pro 8. I laid some guitar tracks but everytime i try to move them to get them in synch with the grid after I move the track, there is silence. No meters visible in the MIXER..NO SOUND will play..I Undo the move and everything plays again. These are continuous audio files. Also, in this particular session now if I move any track at all same thing..All audio stops and it's as if you are looking at a blank session even though you can see all your waveforms in front of you...Now, I have out of time guitar tracks and I'm stopped dead....I tried bounding the tracks to audio and reimporting them but same thing happens...ANY TIME I move any audio, ALL SOUND STOPS.....Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

  • My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    Sure, you can get around it if you don't need the newest version of iTunes. I still use version 7.5 because the newer versions didn't strike me as offering anything I needed.
    If you do need a version 10-something then you will have to upgrade your operating system to Leopard (fi your computer will support it) at least.  If you need 10.5 for some reason then there's no getting around it, you will have to buy a new computer.

    I need help getting past the installation error "windows cannot find TEMP file"

    Seems like some who have tried two devices on the JMICRON IDE port have had trouble. Try without the hard drive and see if you get that error. If that is the case I would try a PATA to SATA converter for your hard drive and connect it to one of the Intel SATA Ports.

    Hello all,
    I'm learning to use photoshop and could really use some help! I need to cut and paste an image from one photoshop doc to another. This I can do just fine, but when I do, it resizes the image I pasted and makes it smaller. Since I'm wokring with scans that need to retain their exact size, this is not good.
    Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing woring?
    -Also, the piece of the doc I'm cutting from is a little bit bigger than the 8..5 x 11 letter size doc I'm pasting into.
    Thanks so much for your input!

    Heres a tip: forget that open source library unless you need to customize it or something. Use the ftp library that comes wih the JDK. It is in an unsupported package (sun.net.ftp) check it out it couldn't be simpler:
    //you need this import statement
    import sun.net.ftp.*;
    //here is example code
    String server = "ftp.fileplanet.com";
    String user = "me";
    String passwd = "1234";
    FtpClient client = new FtpClient();
    client.openServer(server);
    client.login(user, passwd);
    client.binary();
    client.cd("games");
    //DO NOT CLOSE THIS INPUTSTREAM UNTIL YOU WANT TO CLOSE YOUR CONNECTION
    TelnetInputStream in = client.get("pacman.exe");
    //now do whatever u want with this inputstream
    byte[] bytes = new byte[4096];
    int x = 0;
    while((x = in.read(bytes)) != -1)
      out.write(bytes, 0, x);
      _totalBytes += x;
    out.flush();
    out.close();Also another tip for you to write code in the forum put your code between the [ code ] [ code ] tags

  • [SOLVED] Need help with setting up X

    Hello guys am new to the forum and this is my first post here. I am in need of a little help.
    Need help with X configuration. It starts like this, I installed xorg-server , xorg-utils, xorg-server-utils. When I tried installed xorg-init it says no package, anyway I ignored and moved on.
    Now I installed regular mesa stuff and installed xf86-video-ati driver for my HD4250 graphics adapter. with libgl and ati-dri (I have old arch wiki print so it mentioned to install those while newer doesn't list some stuff)
    Now the problem is that Xorg -configure doesn't work with newer X and nor the packages has generated /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
    Anyway I created the file manually and added each and every section as mentioned in the "old" guide that I have.
    I even added a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf file for my graphics card with the content as
    Section "Device"
    Identifire "r"
    Driver "radeon"
    EndSection
    After manually creating all such files I installed x-term, xclock and twm. But when I tried to start X by startx or Xinit it says command not found. Add to that a simple X shows couple of errors.
    Please see the errors here Paste #399362 | LodgeIt!
    Some more questions : My old guide mentioned to install HAL while newer guide on the net mention DBUS. Though I have added DBUS to be on the safe side but why not HAL ? Is it because of Udev ?
    So please help me getting X up and running.
    Regards
    Last edited by Shashwat (2011-06-04 09:47:47)

    Ok  I sorted out the misprints in the file and installed xinit but still can't get it to work.
    1. There are few errors in xorg.conf that I cannot make it out.
    2. The X output says no screen found. ?
    http://paste.pocoo.org/show/399383/
    Now when I add EndSection at the last its says invalid parameter and when I remove it, I get an error "No EndSection, EOF missing"
    Kind of bugging
    Please do help.

I copied and pasted the output module folder to the adobe bridge cc extensions folder in programs/commonfiles/adobe.

I even tried must making one and adding the file to it, but no go. can someone PLEASE help me with this?    I have an assignment due like now that requires the use of the output modue.thanks!

  • Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

    Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of.  I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our  "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit"  issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
    We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
    I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
    You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
    (and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks',  "Adobe phone-in experiences")

    Phenix City, Alabama  36869

    Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
    So  I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself,  I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products"  to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
    OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi  & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any  "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE"  button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is,  how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
    So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a  " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
    So after thinking this all out,  and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
    Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year,  I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
    A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however,  if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
    I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
    OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending"  with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly,  and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add)..,  except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form....  Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of.  First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
    Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
    It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time)  of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one,  basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it...  and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
    Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly,  the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4)  If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
    Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that?  Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

  • Need help in writing a vbscript

    Hi,
    I need help in wring a vbscript. I have serached for the vbscript on the net, but could not find any.
    I need to add a file to an msi using vbscript. - That's the requirement.
    For this I have done the following with the help of vbscript.
    1. With the insert statement I inserted a new copmonent in the FeatureComponent Table.
    2. Now the next thing I did is, I inserted a new row in the File table using insert statement again. The file is uncompressed.
    3. Since the file is a non-version file I also added a row in the MSIFileHash table.
    4. Also, now added the Component in the component table.
    After doing this I am able to see the chnages in the mst, however whrn I try to install it I get an error 2725 (Invalid database tables).
    Can somebody please post a vbscript which can add a file to an msi?

    Hi All,
    Thanks for all your responses.
    Yes, It is not so easy. I never said it was.  Thanks for pointing out Orca. We use Orca on a daily basis.
    What exactly I am looking at, is this.
    We have some standard applications which needs to be repackaged every month. The repackaging process is same and does not change at least for these packages. So I was actually looking at automating these things.
    What I did so far.
    First we have created an object for Windows installer. I have then taken a copy of the original msi and then opened the database of this temporary msi database in transact mode. Once the database is opened we can use select, insert, update
    and delete statements to update the database.  
    I could successfully add a registry to the msi. The component was also added successfully to the component table. I also could make changes to the Property table.
    The tricky part comes with the addition of file to the file table.
    The addition of file requires the following steps.
    1. Add a new row to the file table. This can be done with the Insert statement.
    2. We then need to associate the file to a new component or any other component already existing in the msi. In my case I am creating a new component.
    3. We then have to associate this components to a feature in the FeatureComponents table.
    4. Since the file I am adding is a non-versioned file, a new row also has to be added to the MSIFILEHASH table.
    I could see the changes that I have done using the mst. But when I try to install the msi with the mst, I get the error 2725. I checked everything. All the other steps except for the file addition works fine.
    To check whether I am indeed right, I have did this.
    Skipped the file addition part to the msi. Every other change that I make works and I am able to install the msi with the mst successfully.
    For obvious security reasons I will not be able to share the vbscript with you. If you guys think, that this is not a right forum for this question, please let me know the right forum. I have been stuck with this issue from the past 6 months. Any help would
    really be appreciated.
