Pen tool not working the same

I don't often use the Pen Tool as it is not needed but when I do, I do the same kind of thing and that is draw around something so that I can use a filter on the selected area.
I was able to create a shape within a shape so there is a hole and then apply my filter to it. However, when I try to do the same thing it is all weird!
I create a shape and then put a shape inside, right click and choose Make Selection and the inner shape disappears leaving the larger outer shape.
Does anyone know what might be causing this and how I can rectify it. Another weird thing is that when I use a filter it applys it outside of the selection, but this is not as annoying as the original issue.
Any hwlp would be hugely appreciated!

This occurs when you use the quick mask to create a selection. Did you?

Stamp tool not generating the same colour as the sample area I select.

Heya, I am having an issue with the stamp tool not generating the same colour as the sample area I select. I have tried reducing the flow rate but my understanding was it should be an exact copy of the ample area. I have only had this issue for the last two versions of photoshop.
Cheers, Andy

Oracle Forms 10G(tabbed canvasses not working the same as in Forms 6i)

Hi everyone,
I have a form which gets called from another form through a list of value. The called form(second form) has a group of tabbed canvases which get displayed depending on the parameters passed from the first form.
The Form is working prefectly fine in Forms 6i but when I converted the same form in to forms 10G it does not seem to work the same way. The tabbed canvasses are not getting displayed. I am manually having to press the execute query to get data displayed in the tabbed canvasses. I checked the parameters that are being passed and they are the same as that in Forms 6i.
Please let me know where my 10G Form is going wrong. Appreciate your help, please send me an email on [email protected]
Thanks

Illustrator Cs2 Pen tool not working.. Help!!

So I downloaded Ai cs2 the other day. Whenever I come to drawing polygons with the pen tool I set the fill to a colour and the stroke to none(/) just so i can produce block colour shapes without an outline. However When ive come to do it on cs2 the pen tool only lets me draw thin black lines... What am I doing wrong??

THat's outline view.
If you turn on preview mode, you should see that shape.
But since it's not selected and the layer in the layer panel is closed, it's impossible to analyze this further.

Deskewing not working the same in version XI as it did in version 10

We have been having issues with Adobe XI and the de-skew feature. In version 10 we could take a previously scanned PDF and go in to Tools > Documnet Processomg >Optimize Scanned PDF > make the needed changes to the Filters (Deskew:On, Background removal: Medium, Descreen: On, Text Sharpening: On) , Edit the OCR PDF output Style to "Searchable Image" and then run the optimization. This would apply the filters and deskew the document both in the same step. However, since version XI when we do the same thing, with the same files it will apply the filters but it will not deskew them (we have tried multiple files and multiple systems to rule out file issues and install issues). The only way that we can get it to deskew it is to set the OCR PDF output to "Clearscan". This would be fine except for the fact that the the clearscan setting does not apply the filters. So...the only way we can get this to do what we need is to run the optimization once with the OCR PDF set to "Searchable Image" to apply the filters and then run it again with the OCR PDF output set to "clearscan" to deskew the document. This is not a big deal with a single page document but becomes a larger time issue when dealing with large, multipage documents. It appears that this is a "bug" in version XI. Any suggestions on how to accomplish in version XI what we used to be able to do easily in Version X.
Additional information: We are running Adobe 11.0.01 on Windows 7 64 bit OS.
I have also seen LoriAUC's last post on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/992172 but those settings did not work for us either.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

OK Adobe needs to hire people who can read *and* comprehend words.
The Issue is WITH Acrobat 11
I am having the same problem - deskew does not work on Acrobat 11 on Windows 7 64 bit.
The advice: "For the time being, please use Acrobat 11 as this issue does not exists in Acrobat 11." is inaccurate.

Adobe Air ServerSocket not Working the same on XP/Vista/7

I'm having a strange problems with an air socket server i've written.
I have an Air application written using Flash Builder 4. It's basically a simple HTTP server. It's purpose it to open a server on a specific port and serve files (both html and swf) out to a web browser.
When i run the air application on my desktop (windows 7, firefox 4.0b11, ie8, flash builder 4 compiled with flex sck 4.1.0) everything works correctly. Whether i run the server through the Flash Builder debugger or actually do the full packaging and install as a standalone air app then run it using the Air Runtime like any user would. I load up the server, punch in the address from anywhere and the page loads, and the requested swf displays correctly. While the server is running on my desktop i've tested clients including Windows XP and Vista with IE8, HTC Evo4g Android phone, and the Playstation 3 browser. From any tested client with the server running on my desktop all requests are handled correctly and pages/swfs load and display correctly.
The problem comes when i run the air app on another computer. When i package it and install it on one of my two test systems (Windows XP and Windows Vista) things start to go wonky. The Air app loads on the two test systems but when a client tries to use their web browser to request a page things don't display correctly. The client can load the html file fine but the swf that it receives from the server does not display. I can check the log on the status server and see the HTTP GET being processed, and the file sent. However, the browser simply displays a blank box where the SWF should be. With the server running on either of my two test boxes (XP and Vista) the same clients who can connect and display html and swf's delivered from the server experience this problem.
I think i've eliminated browser request as the problem from testing different browsers on different OS's on each of the test installations. As best I can tell, the problem is with the server side of the app. The server uses the SocketServer class to listen for a connection and then writes out the HTML headers and content to the socket manually, i'm not using any external libraries for writing to the socket.
here's the code for writing to the socket when a swf is requested.
     var content:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
     var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
     stream.open(file, FileMode.READ);
     stream.readBytes(content);
     stream.close();
     socket.writeUTFBytes("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n");
     socket.writeUTFBytes("Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash\r\n");
     socket.writeUTFBytes("Content-Length: " + content.length + "\r\n\r\n");
     socket.writeBytes(content);
I don't believe the problem is with the socket write since it works on my desktop but not when the server is running on another. I'm wondering if the problem is with an external system dependancy. Are there any external libraries, visual c++ runtimes, tcp/ip libraries that Air uses to fulfil requests to sockets on different operating systems/versions? I've been searching around the web and browsing through adobe live docs for a few hours on this but can't seem to find a resolution anywhere. If more detail is needed, please let me know. Any help would be much appreciated.

I appreciate you taking the time to look at this. Good to know I'm not completely crazy, that makes me feel a little better.
The 178774 is bytesLoaded()   and 1096810 is bytesTotal() as seen by the swf.
That's what i was experiencing. The issue you're seeing with it running on vista of the swf apparently only loading 180k of the 1 meg is what i'm experiencing. For me that happens when the server side of things is running on my XP or Vista machine. On Win 7 it works fine. Also, for mp3's it seems to only download the first couple seconds. When i stream an mp3 from the server it only plays a couple of seconds and stops.
Not sure if the index.html file that it serves out is small enough that it gets it in one cycle but for larger files it closes out the socket before sending all the data.
If i get some free time tomorrow i'll see about getting an Ubuntu virtual machine going and test it there as well. I don't have access to a mac to try it on OSX.

AVReceive2 and AVTransmit2 not work the same...HELP

I am using AVReceive2 and AVTranmit2 in a programs I am developing. I have run the two programs as the standalones they are and I get the video or audio I send across. But in my program when the program calls up the routines it launches and only does a hand full of what it should do. It is also like the SessionListener, ControllerListener, and ReceiveStreamListener are missing. The program listens for a RTP connection to come in but it never completes the action when I know that there is a connection being attemped. The same istrue for the AVTransmit2 it does not create the RTP session that I know is supposed to go out. It is like skipping a large piece of code. Even though they are all contained correctly. If someone can give me an answer to why these two programs work out side of what I am doing and why they are not in what I am building it would be highly appreciated. ASAP I need this working by tomorrow morning. Thanks

Camera connection kit not working the same on IOS 5 as it did on IOS 4. Bugs or deliberate features?

Using the Camera connection kit Previously downloaded files were recognised and only new pictures were uploaded. Doesn't seem to work in IOS 5. I was using the Ipad as a photos backup and display device.

I haven't had an issue. Do you use the same card on both devices and it works differently on each one?
You might try resetting the one that isn't working. Hold down the sleep and home key, past the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if it works.
Might, might not help it, but it's a common fix for glitches.

Internal network not working the same as on previo...

Hi all,
I had the previous HH3 when I had standard BT Broadband, with this I was able to browse to webcam.home for example.
Since my upgrade to Infinity I now have the new HH3 installed (Software version V100R001C01B031SP09_L_B), no matter what I do I can no long browse using the name. If I look at the details in Home Hub manager UI then I can find the IP address of the camera and browse to it, this works fine. It doesn't look like the new hub is handling the internal network in the same way.
I am using DHCP for all the connected devices.
Any ideas would be greatly appriciated as i don't want to have to remember all the IP addresses of my networked devices.
Thanks in advance,
Steven

Hi svacher
If you logon to the HH3, under the Home tab, what is listed under "Devices currently connected to your BT homehub".
You should see your camera there and it's hostname. If you only see the ip address then the hostname has not been resolved. That could be that the camera has not "registered" it's name with the HH3.
Not sure if you are using your browser from Windows, but you could try opening up a command prompt and running this command. It will flush any old DNS entries and should allow you to use the hostname.
ipconfig /flushdns

Pen Tool not Working

I started a new project, and I'm coming up on a deadline. I'm trying to adjust the audio, but the pen tool won't work. I've never had this problem before. Am I doing something stupid? Thanks for your help.

I clicked on the pen tool, but it acts as a pointer. The pen tool box deepens, as it usually does. When I push P, on the key board, it still doesn't work. If I try to click on the audio, it highlights the clip. All the other tools work properly. I'm trying to adjust my audio levels. I went to trash preferences, but there is no FCX User Data folder. I know I have trashed preferences before, and it was there. I had to do an archive, and install, some time ago, if that's matters. Thanks.

Delete point (audio) pen tool not working

I have for long easily used the delete point pen tool to lower or raise the decibel levels in the Timeline.
Now, I can't. I don't understand what changed. I've tried to use it on films I've already used it on.
All that happens is that the entire track gets 'selected' (turns to dark purple).
I don't think I've changed any settings.
I have FCE 4.0.1 (not HD).
Flummoxed.

Trash the FCE Preferences.
This will assist with the job:

Pen tool not working in cs2

Can you help? I cannot get my pen tool to make an active selection. It completes the path, but then when I try to inverse selection, it says no pixels were selected. I am new to this and very frustrated. It will let me select all, but the path area remains inactive. PLEASE HELP!!!!

> It completes the path, but then when I try to inverse selection, it says no pixels were selected
What Phos says is true, but since you say you are getting a selection I will assume you said pen but meant marquee tool or some other selection tool.
Usually you will get the no pixels selected message when you are on a layer that does not have any content. You can see content, but it is on a different layer. Change to the layer with the content in the layer palette, and then you should be able to inverse your selection.

Mail Signatures, Folder Organization, Notification and Attachments not working the same since upgrade to Mavericks

Hi All,
Normally very quick to do so, I’ve been hesitant to upgrade to Mavericks based on so many issues being reported with Mail + Gmail.
Previously Apple released a fix for these issues and I still waited a while. This weekend I upgraded to Mavericks and Mail is definitely not working as I’d expect it.
Some of the things I notice include:
1) My saved mail folders, previously in alphabetical order, are now in reverse alphabetical order and dragging them to be in a different order has no effect
2) Previously when I clicked on a message and pressed Message > Remove Attachments the message would reappear in my inbox within a second or two, without the attachment. Now, the message simply disappears.
3) The little red icon no longer appears in the dock when a new message arrives
4) For my various accounts, signatures do not appear/disappear as I select a different From account (each of my accounts has different signatures).
Does anyone have thoughts on any of these items?
Thanks,

Not an answer, but a repeat ...
I too have problem (2) -- Remove Attachment now makes the email in question disappear (in fact moving it to Archive).
Help would be appreciated.
(Have just moved from Lion to Mavericks.)

Help! Mac vs PC: Save As... dialog not working the same

Hi everyone need some quick help here please.
I have a friend on a Mac running CS2, trying to take a folder of TIFFs, and do a Save As to create JPGs.
1. For a single file, he opens the TIFF, hits File/Save As.
2. He selects JPG from the format dropdown
3. He sees that the predicted file size in the Size part of the dialog looks right
4. He actually saves the file
5. He goes to the folder where the JPG was created, and theres the JPG.
6. PROBLEM: The JPG file size is exactly the same as the original TIFF.
7. This happens no matter what JPG quality he selects. Different quality values change (appropriately) the predicted file size, but the end result is always the same.
8. On the PC, the dialogs the same, but you actually get a JPG thats far far smaller (so it really is compressed). And predicted file size matches the actual size of the JPG that gets created.
Any Mac gurus out there that know whats going on, and what the answer is?
We dont want to use Save For Web for huge number of reasons (including the loss of metadata, color profiles, resolution, etc.)
Thanks in advance for your quick help!
Jerry

If you are accustomed to Windows, you know that the explorer view can sometimes give you incorrect information for a list of files. I've seen this a lot on Windows with thumbnail images that do not update properly.
The Mac Finder does the same thing, and i see the after effect the most with incorrect file size listings.
On Windows, you can refresh the view to bring everything up to date.
Mac has no refresh view, and it is an annoying omission on an otherwise very well designed user experience.
try selecting one of the individual images, type command-I (Get Info) and see what the size reported there is. If that is a more accurate size for a jpeg, then you are seeing the issue I describe.
the Mac OS, at least up til 10.4.11, lacks a refresh view feature, but you can get a free utility to do this for you, called Nudge. Check VersionTracker to find the download.
