Please help - free transform distort...

Hey.
No matter what I try, I can't get to distort objects using the free transform tool. I know I have to click/hold/drag the anchorpoint first, I've read all the help files, tutorials and sp forth, but none of the modifier-keys has any effect while I'm doing that. I'm a fairly experienced user, and - to put it mildly - about to kick in my screen over not getting something simple as this to work?!
I'm on a Mac, using CS4. And pretty pissed off...
Hans

Make sure Bounding Boxes are visible (View menu.)
Select the object.
Get the FreeTransform tool. Mousedown on a BoundingBox corner.
THEN press and hold the modifer keys.
Then drag.

Can I Free Transform/Distort An Object Like Photoshop?

I need to distort an object much the way one would in Photoshop with Free Transform - Distort. That's the one where you can drag the corners wherever it suits your fancy.
The closest thing in Illustrator I can find is Effect - Distort & Transform - Free Distort. But this is a lot tougher because I just get a tiny picture of a grid; you distort the corners, and hope for the best.
Is there a way in Illustrator that will allow me to do this with the actual object?
Thanks.

There's the Free Transform Tool.
Click a corner then hold down Command/Ctrl, Option/Alt, and shift then move the mouse to allow free transformations. The click-modifier-move order is important.

Please help me transform this C++ code to java code....

guys...please help me transform this C++ code to java code....please try to explain the code..thanks
[program]
#include <stdio.h>
#define ALIVE 1
#define DEAD 0
#define SZ 33
int stschk (int ,int );
main()
int s[SZ][SZ], i, j;
for (i=0; i<sz; i++ ) s[0] = DEAD;
for (j=0; j<sz; j++ ) s[0][j] = DEAD;
s[0][1] = ALIVE;
for (i=0; i<sz-1; i++) {
for ( j=1;j<sz;j++ ) {
s[i][j] = stschk(s[i][j-1],s[i+1][j];
if(s[i][j-1]==ALIVE) printf("*");
else printf(" ");
printf("\n");
int stschk(int s1,int s2)
if(((s1==DEAD)&&(s2==ALIVE))||
((s1==ALIVE)&&(s2==DEAD))) return ALIVE;
else return DEAD;

Being picky, that's not C++, that's C. Standard headers in C++ dont' have .h after them, loop variables are scoped with the for, you use constants rather than #defines, etc..
C and C++ both don't initialise arrays by default; you'd have to write an initialiser to get it to zero out the array:
int s[sz][sz] = {};gcc will insert a call to memset to zero the array.
If the author was assuming that the array was zeroed out, there would be no point zeroing the first row and column.
The code reads values which haven't been initialised. If you mark such values explicitly undefined, and change the program to report an error when undefined, then you get several cases where the program makes such report.
So either it' s a primitive random number generator (some random number generators use uninitialised memory as a source of randomness), or it's buggy, or it's processing undefined data and throwing away the result. Either way, it cannot be directly be ported to Java if the undefined values (which are limited to a small area of the ouput) are significant.

X-FI platinum, huge problem please help. entertainment mode distortion,screeching Vista 32

My x-fi platinum just out of the blue stopped working. When it was working it still had problems of not being detected by the computer till i restarted it several times. Now when i play any kind of sound when its on it plays distorted screeching sounds or just completly stops, this is in Entertainment mode. now when i switch to audio creation or game mode. It plays fine for a bit, and then screeching, static noises start playing. It use to work fine on entertainment mode but for some reason everything has halted. I play my music/sounds through a external receivor which my sound card is connected to. I think it might have something to do with a spdif output problem, but im still not sure. I tried unplugging my other pci cards other then my cga and i still have the problem. I dont know if some setting in the bios was disabled or enabled or what as im pulling my hair out over this issue.Message Edited by plokkr23 on 2-04-20070:02 AM

im getting something similar. Can you check your Sound Control panel and tell me - when the distortion is most evident - if microphone is MUTED or Not. I have NO SOUND issues when Microphone is muted, but when it isn't - whether the microphone is plugging in or not - i have tons of distortion. It began out of no where, within the last 3 days.
I've found minor temp fixes that don't fix the problem and I wish i knew a long term one, or even what the hell caused it.

Free transform not working in CC [was:PLEASE HELP ME!!!]

Hello! Please, Please Help me! I installed Photoshop CC to edit my photo and when I use free transformation it is not working. I need just to transform one litte area in the photo.
I have windows 7 64 bits. Thank you!

Chris, Thank you! I wanted to change the eye area, so when I selected the area and used free transformation tool, it did not work. Free transformation worked only for the whole image but not for the selcted area. I was using this video. May be I need some more plug ins. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI8Ab213ejU

CS3 Free Transform Tool does not work at all for distortion

I tried everything, worked with vector objects of different configurations and rasterized objects. Nothing works. When I press Free Transform Tool and go to bounding box corner it become rotate or resize tool. When I click a little bit inside the bounding box and hold Command Key (I tried many keys and without keys) it just moves the whole object, it did not select just one point that I need. Envelope Mesh does not work for the same reason, but I do not need mesh tool. I have Illustrator 13.02, Mac OS 10.4.11
The Free Transform Tool functions exactly as the main selection tool. Please help.

I STILL cannot get this to work. I have tried everything suggested in this thread. I have followed the directions in the help menus explicitly. I have tried grouping, ungrouping. I have tried it on type, on type changed to outlines, on simple rectangles. Without success.
When I try to use the free transform tool and hover over a corner of the bounding box, I get either a double-headed corner arrow, a rotation arrow, or a move arrow. Using the first two, dragging the point and then holding down the control/command key results only in a scaling of the object.
Should I restart? Should I re-install? What should I do?
Best,
Fielden

My phone wont let me download anything even free stuff or update.it keep saying something wrong with my billing info so i fix it but still cant download.I signed out sign back in still nothing please help i'm getting angry

If it says your billing info is wrong that means that your credit card issuer is refusing to approve your account. You will have to solve the problem with your bank or credit card company.

My iPhone 5 won't let me download certain apps. They show up on itunes but not on my phone, if I download the app from my computer it loads on my phone then immediately disappears. The 'FREE' button is white in the app store for certain apps. PLEASE HELP!

I'm so frustrated and in desperate need of help, I don't know what else to do! Certain apps such as Tumblr (I've previously had the Tumblr app on my phone) and Vine will NOT dowload on my phone. I've tried deleting all apps from both my iPhone and iTunes, I've tried restoring my phone then backing it up, I've tried downloading the app from iTunes while my phone is plugged into my computer, etc. When I search the apps in the app store they show up but the 'FREE' button is white and unclickable, it's very frustrating. When I download it from iTunes while my phone is plugged in I can watch it download, but when it's done it immediately dissapears from the screen and from my phone. When I plug my phone into iTunes it say I have the Tumblr and Vine apps, but I assure you, I do not. I have deleted and tried to add them so many times but it never works. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

How can i get 5 apps for free,which APPLE is giving out to celebrate appstore 5th birthday please help please????

in the iccasion of appstores 5th birthday apple is giving free apps to all.i dont know how to get them someone somebody please help me please.thankyou

The apps that were under the 5 year of the App Store banner are no longer free. They are now, once again, for fee apps and that banner is gone from the store front. It was A limited time deal and appears to have ended. Those app developers were not going to give their apps away forever.

Lookup transformation - Performance Issue -Please help!

Hi,
I have a Source table with 5 million rows. I am pulling all the rows from the source table, then doing the lookup with 5 different tables one by one.
I use Full cache as the lookup table size is very less only. I used 'Ignore Failure' option in lookup table as I need to do the left join. That means, even if there is NO match, those records also should be passed to the bottom.
Now, the problem is it is taking a lot of time. To load 1,00,000 records, it is taking 1 hour. The how about 5 Million rows? 50 hours? Could you please help me to find out what is the mistake i am doing here?

Is the performance still very poor if you only add for example a row count transformation after your source?
How many rows are there in the lookup tables? Are you only selecting the columns you need? Is the data type of the selected columns very large?

My daughter has an iPod touch and is emailing a much older boy via text free app she downloaded. How can I see the conversations? Please help and thank you

Please help me...My 12year old daughter has been talking to a older teenager through the text free app. How can I see the conversations? Also, there is a photo vault that is locked. What is that? Please someone help me. I don't know what else to do. I paid and downloaded a program that is supposed to tell you everything that's on the ipod but that was a joke. Thanks for your help.

As long as you can't get a hold of the device, you can't do anything more than talking to your daughter about it.
Erasing the device could also be an option to keep her from using apps you don't want her to have on her device.
Try talking first

Please help - free transform distort...
