Paths get more jagged with each Save

Hi there
I’ve done a little basic editing to a .ai, such as deleting some paths and naming layers, and every time I resave it and open it I see there are more and more jagged artifacts in some of the paths. It looks like some of the anchor points have just moved up a few mm. Each time I Save As and open again, there are more and more of these.
If I place the first file in an InDesign document or preview it in Bridge, there are no problems. It’s only when I open it in Illustrator again that the artifacts appear.
Has anyone run into this before? I’d appreciate any insights.

Hello again
I’ve got back to this project again after a little break. I restarted with the original file and did all the layer naming again. After playing with a few scripts, undoing anything I did with them, and closing, I got an error when I tried opening the file again (something about an unknow parameter, I think).
So I started again, making sure to save many times along the way and close and reopen. Then I did a Save As to create a copy of the file for playing on with some Scriptographer scripting. No problems yet, until I decided to add some text. Spaces disappear everytime I start typing a word after hitting the space bar, and Illustrator crashes every time I try to view hidden characters (Ctrl + Alt + I).
It’s not a major issue at this stage, as this is just some fiddling to learn scripting and data processing. Just thought I should follow up in case anyone’s interested.
Here’s the latest problem file. I’d be interested to hear if anyone else has the text / crashing problem.
I’m using CS4 on Windows 7.

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

PDF file size grows with each save if .access property set on a field

We are seeing an odd form behavior and have isolated the apparent trigger to something we are doing in the form script. I'm hoping someone can confirm they see the same problem, details follow:
We have a form generated in LiveCycle. It contains a text field. In the docReady event for that field we have javascript which sets the field to be readOnly (TextField1.access = "readOnly"). We reader extend the form so we can save it from reader and/or the plug-in/control which is used by a browser when reading PDFs.
With that simple form, open the form via the browser (we've tested with both IE and Chrome) and without doing anything else, just save the form (with a new name). When we do that, the saved copy of the form is significantly bigger than the copy we started with. If we then repeat the process using the newly saved file, the third copy is bigger than the second.
This file growth does not happen if you open the file in Adobe Reader (instead of in the browser).
When we look at the file contents via a text editor, what we have found is that each save via the browser is tacking on a chunk of data to the end of the file AFTER the %%EOF mark. This new section appears to be one or more object definitions and ends with another %%EOF. The first portion of the file (prior to the first %%EOF) is identical in all versions of the file.
If you take a copy of the file that has these extra section added, then open and save it in Adobe Reader, it eliminates those extra sections and you get a 'clean', small version of the file again. So those extra sections are clearly erroneous and unnecessary.
Another thing worth noting, we took the script for setting the field access property out of the docReady event and put it as the click event on a button added to the form. If you then open the form, press the button and save it you see the file growth (but not if you don't press the button.) So it doesn't appear related to the docReady event, or timing of when we set the access property of the field.
On the small test form described above the growth of the file is around 13KBytes. But in testing with our real forms we've found that the amount of growth seems to be tied to the size/complexity of the form and the form data. In our most complex form with multiple pages with hundreds of fields and a large amount of XML data (form size is 2+MB), we are getting a file size increase of 700KBytes on each save. This is a therefore, a significant issue for us, particularly since the process in which the form is used requires the users to save it a couple of times a day over the period of a month or more.

I would start by exporting the XML data from the form before and after it grows to see if it is the underlying data that is growing and where. Did you define a schema and bind your form fields to a data connection created from the schema? That is always my first step when creating a form. It makes for a smaller saved file not including multiple levels of sub forms in the data structure.

SCCM 2012 PowerShell script gets progressively slower with each machine added to a collection

Firstly, I hope this question firs in this forum.
I have a PowerShell script that I created the imports a CSV file and adds the machine names to a collection as a direct membership. There are 5000 machines total in the list. When the script first starts, the average per machine is just a few tenths of a
second. Once it reaches about 10% the average is up to almost 4 seconds and that time is getting larger with each machine. I tried using the CMDLets for SCCM but they were even slower than the WMI seemed to be.
What is the reason for this increase?
Is there anything I can do to not have this happen?
My script:
$ErrorActionPreference= 'continue'
$FilesInFolder = Get-ChildItem $PSScriptRoot
$CSVFiles = $FilesInFolder | where {$_.extension -eq ".csv"}
$SiteCode = "US1"
Function AddToCollection-WithWMI
ForEach ($File in $CSVFiles)
$CollectionStart = Get-Date
$CollectionName = $File.Name.TrimEnd(".csv")
$PClist = Import-CSV $File.FullName
Write-Host "Populating Collection: " $CollectionName
$i = 1
$PCRollingTime = New-Object System.TimeSpan
ForEach($PC in $PClist)
$PCStart = Get-Date
$ResourceName = $PC.SerialNumber
Write-Host $i "of" $PClist.Count
$ResourceQuery = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "Root\SMS\Site_US1" -Class SMS_R_SYSTEM -Filter "Name = '$ResourceName'"
$CollectionQuery = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "Root\SMS\Site_US1" -Class SMS_Collection -Filter "Name = '$CollectionName' and CollectionType='2'"
$CollectionQuery.Get()
IF($ResourceQuery -ne $null)
#Create new direct membership rule
$NewRule = ([WMIClass]"\\Localhost\root\SMS\Site_US1:SMS_CollectionRuleDirect").CreateInstance()
$NewRule.ResourceClassName = "SMS_R_System"
$NewRule.ResourceID = $ResourceQuery.ResourceID
$NewRule.Rulename = $ResourceQuery.Name
#Commit changes
$CollectionQuery.CollectionRules += $NewRule.psobject.baseobject
$CollectionQuery.Put() | Out-Null
$NewRule = $null
ELSE
Write-Host "No Device ID found for: " $PC.SerialNumber
$CollectionQuery = $null
$ResourceQuery = $null
$PCFinish = Get-Date
$TimeSpan = New-TimeSpan -Start $PCStart -End $PCFinish
$PCRollingTime = $TimeSpan + $PCRollingTime
If(($i % 25) -eq 0)
$CurrentAvgPerPC = $PCRollingTime.TotalSeconds / $i
Write-Host "The current average is" $CurrentAvgPerPC "seconds."
$SecondsToETA = ($CurrentAvgPerPC * ($PClist.Count - $i))
$ETA = Get-Date
$ETA = $ETA.AddSeconds($SecondsToETA)
Write-Host "The Estimated time of complete is" $ETA
If(($i % 250) -eq 0)
$PCRollingTime
$i++
$CollectionQuery = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "Root\SMS\Site_US1" -Class SMS_Collection -Filter "Name = '$CollectionName' and CollectionType='2'"
$CollectionQuery.Get()
#Initiate the collection evaluator
$CollectionQuery.RequestRefresh()
$CollectionFinish = Get-Date
AddToCollection-WithWMI

I haven't checked the complete code, but it doesn't look very efficient. For example I would take the collection query out the loop for all the pcs, simply because it's always the same and would save you about 4999 queries.

Additionally, you could likely replace most of the WMI calls you do with the built in SCCM PowerShell cmdlets. The two lines below will check to see if a Device Object for a specific PC exists and if it does, adds it to your collection
$PCID = Get-CMDevice -Name $PC.SerialNumber
if ($PCID -ne $null) {
Add-CMDeviceCollectionDirectMembershipRule -CollectionName $CollectionName -ResourceId $PCID
If you want to check to see if the collection exists before trying to add devices to it, you can use the Get-CMDeviceCollection cmdlet.
Get-CMDeviceCollection -Name $CollectionName

Mail Gets Progressively Worst With Each Tiger Update

Hello Apple User/Fans/Staff,
I have noticed that Mail gets progressively worst every time their is an update. I had asked about this is in a previous posting and was led to believe it is something I was doing, such as making all applications are closed before installations. Well, I would always need to reset all my several email accounts for my small business after installing the updates. This was getting frustrating. Now after updating to 10.4.10 Mail only remain open after launch for a minute and a half then crashes. I have sent several reports to Apple. The sad part is I am unable to export all accounts and messages to Thunderbird because Mail has its own format and it will not remain open long enough. I am disappointed and sadden with Mail. I hope Apple is working on a fix that does not mean buying Leopard! Mail in 10.2 has been the most stable version in my opinion.
Make some noise about Mail!!
Ralston

Ralston,
I can assure you that the updates to reach 10.4.10 have not caused your Mail problems. However, problems you had but did not find to correct before the updates might be made worse with each update.
I use 10 different accounts, with all types (POP, IMAP, gmail and .mac, and have no such troubles.
To examine whether there is any problem with the application itself, as it is installed on your particular computer, create a New User Account, and as that New User setup one or more email accounts in Mail and test. If this works, you can even migrate your com.apple.mail.plist file and the entire Mail folder (assuming you have something to help with the migration, such as an external hard drive, and setup your exact Mail folder to run under the New User, giving us another test of whether some issue exists with your preferences, or not.
Have you Verified or done Disk Repair to your hard drive -- did it pass? Have you considered resetting Launch Services?
It may not be something you are doing but it is something very unique to your Mac and its OSX installation.

Why does InDesign CS5 modify linked PSDs with each Save?

I'm using Creative Suite CS5, Mac OS 10.6.6. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and how is it fixed?
Every time I save an InDesign document with a linked PSD file, the PSD file's modification date changes as well, which in turn shows up in InDesign as a link that needs updating. After I update the link in InDesign and Save, that psd file's modification date changes again, and it shows up again as a link that needs updating. There seems to be no limit to the cycle, and it isn't specific to any particular file...happens in every similar scenario.
This is makin' me dizzy!

This is caused by a bug in a Suitcase update. Extensis issued another patch almost immediately.

How can Preview cut each page of a PDF file in half? I want to obtain a version that is two times more pages, with each page containing half of the original content.

As title. Thank you guys for answering!

When I sync my photos to the iPad the get jumbled up with each other. What to do?

How can I get my photos get rearranged to their actual assigned photo allbum.

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over into the correct albums - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Apps get mixed up with each other

Selecting/opening one app opens an entirely different app, who has is not even close to the first application on the screen. Appears to be related to "Recent Applications" in terms of which applications are wonky. One or the other app that opens does not always work, that is, touch doesn't. Do anything.
Thoughts?

Try this -
When you device is POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery. This make a reboot to your device which minor issues with the BlackBerry device.

How Do I Get More Printing Options As on My Desktop???

I am printing on a HP Officejet 7410. On my desktop with the HP software I can change Print qualities as well as many other factors. I don't seem to be able to do that with my Powerbook? Can anyone help?

Hi
Do you have the same versions of print drivers on each computer? You often get more options with the official drivers/print utilities than with any built-in driver. Although OS X comes with support for many printers, it doesn't always include every driver feature for those printers.
For example, you might find there's an "HP Print Utility" in your desktop's Applications folder, but not on the Powerbook. If so, locate the official driver from the HP site and install it on the Powerbook.
Does that help?

File Size Growing too much with every Save

I have designed a form that uses Giids with drop-down lists and also some Image Fields. When I am using the form and I save it the file size grows excessively with each save. If I add even one character to a sentence the file size may grow by as much as 500K or more. Saving a few times causes the file to become far to large to send by email. Any ideas what I need to try and fix, or is this just normal?

Nope, I have it unselected and it still grows by leaps and bounds. Any other ideas? Is there anyone I can send a form to who can work on it for a fee?

Get-adgroup -filter * | I want to get more than just SAMAccountName properties --- I am getting greedy :-)

Hello,
PowerShell maestro Mike Laughlin helped me develop this .ps1 script which gathers a .csv list of all AD groups with all their AD user account members (GROUP <group name> and MEMBER <SAMAccountName>) and it works very well. I am getting
greedy and want to .csv export even more information on the AD user account properties. Based on the .ps1 below, how/if can I modify this script to get even more AD group member AD user account properties such as:
GROUP MEMBER USER NAME
ENABLED LAST LOGON
<group name> <SAMAccountName> <DisplayName> <Enabled> <LastLogonDate>
I am getting more impressed with PowerShell v4.0 capabilities and the more I automate the more greedy I want to do more.
Thanks to all PowerShell superstars for lending your expertise on this Windows PowerShell forum!
Matt

where exactly (see script --- let me know if you don't see it in post) in the .ps1 script above would you insed the
$Props = @(
'SamAccountName',
'DisplayName',
'Enabled',
'LastLogonDate'

Why is Firefox getting WORSE with each new version? The new version eleven crashes my PC about every 15 minutes! Back to I.E.!

The new version 11 crashes my entire PC causing a total restart about every 15 minutes and I have tried everything to fix this problem with no luck so I have now went back to I.E. aat least it doesnt crash and i can watch Youtube vids without hanging up every 30 seconds!
Each new version of Firefox seems to be WORSE than the one before, crashing my entire system is my biggest issue at this point! Some of the older versions seemed stable so what and why has the developers tptally ruined this browser? I am not the only person with these problems I see forums full of users complaining so why isnt the developers putting out a stable browser?
Firefox needs to GET ON THE BALL and get a stable browser out for all of its lowal users this is totally rediculous! I am VERY PISSED OFF!

Whatever you do, don't get version 12 because it's just as bad as the rest. Not responding, not responding is what I see most of the time. I'm tired of looking at that blue circle spinning.
I thought Firefox is suppose to be tops but I've had more problems with it than I had with IE. It literally takes minutes for some pages to load. Tabs and pages open by themselves from who knows where.
The updates and new versions go from bad to worse. I scan my computer several times a week with MSE, Malwarebytes, Spybot and SuperAntispyware, thinking that it might help and it doesn't.
This is pathetic. Firefox, please get someone in there who knows what the heck they are doing. It seems like instead of bug fixes, someone's putting in some bugs.
No one should have to repeatedly do this:
1. Restart your computer
2. Clear your cookies and cache
3. Update your plugins
4. Restart Firefox in Safe Mode
5. Troubleshoot your plugins
6. Reset your Firefox settings
7. Reinstall Firefox
8. Make a new profile
Other solutions
Check for conflicts with your Internet security software
Scan your system for viruses and spyware
Check your hard drive for errors

Try going to your Apple support profile. It may still be listed there.

If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for. What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.
