Preview: Can't annotate a line . . . it becomes an arrow?

I was always able to annotate a line or an arrow using Preview but for the last couple of years or so I have only been able to produce arrows.
In Preview's Tools>Annotate I used to be able to select Rectangle, Oval, Line or Arrow.
Now I only have the choice of Rectangle, Oval and Line BUT the Line always appears as an Arrow !
Is it possible to draw a line any more?
As you can see below I only have a choice of Line but when I use it I get an Arrow

Yes after you select the Line tool in the menu bar you will see this icon. Looks like a series of lines with a downward triangle. Click that.
Then you will see an option to change from an arrow to a line.

Why when I want to take photo , the camera will appear such pink colour vertical line and become black and the video just can record 1 min only ?

why when I want to take photo , the camera will appear such pink colour vertical line and become black and the video just can record 1 min only ? why ? is that any problem ?

are you using the iOS camera? if you do, visit your apple store for further help, sounds like a hardware problem.
or:
hold home and lock button pressed until your iphone restarts.
if that didn't help, visit your apple store.
if you are not using the iOS camera, delete that app.

How can I draw a line in Preview without the arrow head

Hello all!
How can I draw a line in Preview without the arrow head at the end of the line?

Yes. Once you select the line bar a new entry will appear where you can select what type of line. Based on my experience whether or not it will change is iffy.

Has anyone experienced this problem: I am editing in FCP 7.0.3 on a Mac 10.6.8 - I have a clip in the browser that is full frame and matched the other clips but when I drop it in the time line it becomes a fully zoomed in version of itself

has anyone experienced this problem: I am editing in FCP 7.0.3 on a Mac 10.6.8 - I have a clip in the browser that is full frame and fine and it matches the other clips in my bins but when I drop it into the time line it becomes a fully zoomed in version of itself and I can only see a small portion of the image. What's going on? I've noticed this has happened in the past randomly with other clips and it's driving me cray cray! Any help appreciated greatly and thanks in advance for taking the time

In the FCP Browser, click on the source clip that is showing up sized incorrectly to select it. Once it is selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties here, or take a screen shot of the item properties and post the screen shot here.
Next, click anywhere in your sequence timeline and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your sequence settings. Either report those settings or take a screen shot of the sequence settings and post that screen shot here.

MacBook Pro The application "Preview" can't be opened. -1712

Hello community,
My MacBook Pro
Processor 2.4 GHz
Memory 4 GB
Storage capacity 19.31 GB free out of 249.2 GB
OS X.9.4
The application "Preview" can't be opened. -1712
I have gone on line to look up possible fixes.
1. I did: Go to Applications: Utilities: Disk Utility and ran: Verify Disk Permissions, Repair Disk Permissions. Both fine.
2. I did: Finder: Go: Library: Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist and deleted that file. I tried to relaunch preview and it is still not working.

Try deleting the com.apple.preview folder from the Containers folder in your /Home/Library.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.

Preview : Can't step through pdf slideshows

I've noticed in Preview that if you open a PDF and go into slideshow mode, you can't step through the slides with the arrow keys (or even the spacebar) until you hit the play button, wait a bit, then pause. This is different from Tiger, and very strange in general.
I was thinking of ways to emulate the way it's done in Tiger - are there any settings I can change in the ~/Library/Preferences folder, through editing a plist file or via the command - line?
Thanks,
- Craig

Crystal 2008: Text, Can Grow=true, Max Lines=0, truncated after 2 lines

I have a fairly simple, grouped report with a handful of fields in each Detail section, one of which is a note/text field. I put the text field on its own line and set Can Grow = true, max lines = 0 so that it will display what it needs to display.
This happens to be a crystalreports.com report using data coming from Salesforce, and I can see in the source report that I have about 7 lines of text for one of my groups, but crystal is truncating it after two lines, and in the middle of a word.
The word ('for') doesn't have any obvious special characters in it, so I'm guessing that there's some sort of character limit that I'm bumping up against.
I have another record that is returning more than two lines, though; are there particular characters that could cause this? I can scrub the data and/or put Salesforce Validation Rules in place to try and prevent them from getting in.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful. Mid 2013 iMac.

I don't know how rare this is. I went a week or so without a problem, and now it's starting to recur. Also, in some instances, an email will look unsent (remain in the outbox on the Treo), but it has been sent, and recipients are replying while I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Further, it will send the same email over and over during this madness.
This is a show stopper. If there isn't a software fix soon, I may chuck this phone in the garbage.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)
UPDATE: The problem comes and goes. The next day, no changes to the treo, everything workeds. Now i'm suspecting the sprint server, and how it/the phone responds from failing to send while roaming. I've since turned off roaming, and haven't had a problem for several days.

A few suggestions for you:
Try:
uninstall all HP utilities or other HP apps on your Mac
see if there is updated software on the HP website
go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
control-click on your printer in the column on the left
select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
Do a factory reset on your printer
go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple

How can I use more lines to show a field of a row in a report?

How can I use more lines to show a field of a row in a report? Table A have two columns: (c1 number(5),c2 varchar2(1000)).When I show the table on a report,the column c2 show itself in one row.So the width of html page is very wide.How can I split the field c2 to many lines?
Thanks for any help.

I was wondering if an answer was found for this one.
I have the same problem using the default "Look 4" template for the region. I have found in the CSS file where it is defined and it specifies "nowrap" in the style, which is why the long value is not being split over multiple lines.
So, my question is, without modifying or creating templates, is there a way to override the "nowrap" attribute from within the item definition? e.g. in the Column Attributes.Column Formatting.CSS Style field. I had some success changing the display properties, such as background colour and font size but I can't seen to override the nowrap attribute!

How can i remove a line from an ordinary text file?

It is easy to remove a line from a file by rewriting the file. how can i remove a line without rewriting ? Also, do not use whitespaces to overwrite the line. I expect a perfect line deletion code .....

How can I make a line at 40 degree angle in Keynote 6

How can you make a line of 40 degrees (or anywhere between 40 to 45) angle in the new Keynote 6.2.2. It seems they took away that nice feature from the previous version. When I move one end of a line, it locks onto 45 when I get near that angle, and jumps off directly to 34 when I try to move away. Previously you could click on a line to transform the ends into red spots, and move them independently to any angle or length. Now it locks onto 45, or 135 or 90 etc. I don't have any of the guides on or any other feature. This is supposed to happen only when holding shift key (which is also a great feature). If it locks onto the magic angles without holding shift, then there is no sense if having that feature at all.

Press the command key when dragging, this switches off snapping and allows continuous placement.
If you like numerical control: Inspector > Format > Arrange > Rotate

How can I animate a line to show the creation of a circle?

hello there, I need to animate a line to show the creation of a circle. This is very easy in powerpoint as I can decide how the line has to enter the slide. I cannot believe that captivate cannot do that.... any hints?

Off the top of my head you can do this with 3 objects. The circle and two rectangles that will have motion path effect applied to them that will have an effect of wiping away and revealing the circle below. There's probably an easier way but like I said I just pulled this outa my...
This will work nicely and cleanly in HTML5 since it's a simple motion path effect.
The screenshot shows the two rectangles moving in opposite directions. The lower box should move AFTER the first one is done. I'm showing some transparency so you can see the circle below.
