Problem turning off snap to guide MX11.0.2

I am using FreehandMX 11.0.2 on a Mac G5 OS10.4.10 - I can no
longer use the view menu to show/hide guides, lock or turn off
snap. I can use the layers menu to show/hide or lock but cannot
turn off snap. I also cannot delete the Guide layer from the layers
menu. I have tried changing keyboard shortcut, deleting preference
file from settings folder but nothing works.

Willem,
I don't use the F-keys in combination with modifier keys.
Opt-F1 through
Opt-F8 are used by the system. Check in System
Preferences>Keyboard &
Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts. Mac OS uses F9 through F12 for
the Dock, Exposé
and Dashboard.
If you never use certain system shortcuts, you could disable
them in System
Prefs and thereby free them up for use in FreeHand. I have
disabled the Mac
OS Spotlight shortcuts because they conflict with the
magnifier tools in FH
and Photoshop.
Here's what I use in FreeHand (US English keyboard layout):
Grid>Show___F6
Grid>Snap___F7
Guides>Show___Opt+Cmd+;(semicolon)
Guides>Snap___F8
Make sure when setting shortcuts in FH, you check "Go to
conflict on assign"
to make sure you haven't used the same shortcut twice.
If you use a non-English keyboard layout, you might be seeing
different
results.
If you're using Entourage 2004 11.0, make sure to update to a
current
version, because there's a known conflict with keyboard
shortcuts in Adobe
apps there.

Turning off "Snap to" feature in Illustrator?

Hi! I am creating vectorbased icons in Illustrator and have set up a document with size 16x16 pixels to get a good preview of the end result. My problem is that the anchorpoints snap to the edge of the document even though I have turned of all the 'snap to' options I can find in the View menu and the tranform flyout menu. I would be very thankful for some help to solve this. /David

That's really unacceptable.

How do you turn off snap to grid in Logic Pro x

Hi
How do you turn off snap to grid as in garageband .....it was quite simple...
But I don't seem to get to grips with this in logic ....
I have options of smart ...and so on ....
I want to be able to move eg an imported audio file to start wherever I want so not to snap to the nearest beat or bar...
Anyone know??
Thanks

Technically you cannot turn it off, but you can choose a very fine resolution which in effect boils down to having it off: ticks. For accurately lining up audio you can use Samples (the smallest snap value, probably equates to GB's off setting?).
I have F5 to F8 assigned to snap values bar, beat, division and tick. Very handy.
The Frames values obviously come in handy when working to video, though there's no law agaist using it without video.
Note that they are ordered from big to smallest.

Can I turn off snapping to vertical and horizontal?

i need to make a line that's not quite horizontal, but when it try to use the ruler to make it, it always snaps to horizontal. This should be a feature that can be disabled, is it possible?

Unfortunately, the snapping behavior is not something that can be turned off in the current release. We have heard this feature request once or twice before, but I can't say when having an option to turn off snapping will make it into a future release.

Can you turn off the automatic guide grids in Aperture books?

Can you turn off the automatic guide grids in Aperture books?

Yes you can do this - either the way you're already doing it by editing the published content or by changing the source code in the template itself.
I won't get into the details here cuz I have all this documented here:
http://web.mac.com/sboben/iWeb/11Mystics/
See the iWeb Templates page. In short, what you have to do is show package contents for the iWeb app, open the Resources folder, open the .lproj folder for YOUR language, likely english, open the Templates folder and then one by one, for each page-type folder you find in there, you have to show package contents for your chosen template, unzip the index.xml.gz files, find the hyperlink settings in the XML, turn off the underline setting, save the file again and rezip it. Then any NEW pages you build will not contain underlined links. It sounds worse than it is.
If you tell me which template you're using, I'll go look in the file and tell you how to turn the underline code OFF. But you should read my instructions at my site before you even try to do this - I outline some things you should know before even opening up those XML files.

Problem turning off legacy filevault.

Hey everyone,
I began the process of switching over to the new filevault, but have encountered a problem turning off the legacy vault. Everything seemed to be goin well, at first. It took about 30 minutes for copying to complete during decryption. However, it has been hung up at "copying is complete..." for nearly 12 hours now and is showing no signs of moving on. I have received no errors. What can I do to maybe kick start the process again or should I just do a forced shutdown. Any help here would be greatly appreciated because at this point I honestly don't know if I have any other option than a forced shutdown.
Thanks

Ok, so I'm answering my own question here but it worked. I ended up doing a forced shutdown (holding down the power button until shut down initializes) from the screen indicating that "copying is complete..." When I restarted (manual restart using the power button again) the legacy vault was off and the new file vault was on and working properly. No data or settings were lost and everything was working properly.
Thank you to all of you who took the time to look at my initial question even if you didn't have an answer for it.

Can I increase max resolution or turn off snap to grid?

I was wondering if someone could help me with an audio editing problem/question. I'm trying to cut audio at 0 on the waveform and I'm not able to cut exactly where I want to. I've zoomed in all the way and pressed control.shift, which, I guess, incresses the resolution to the maximum (ticks). I find that the cut line is still moving in rather large jumps and I'm not able to cut where I would like (at 0 on the waveform). Is there a way to turn off the snap and increase the resolution even more?

try holding only ctrl instead of ctrl-shift,which doesn't do anything in arrange if i remember well(use that in the matrix)
on the top right of the arrange you can choose the snap setting

Turn Off Snap to Grid

I accidentally turned on "Snap to Grid." Now I can't get it
to turn off.
Clicking F5 does nothing, trying to turn it off in the view
menu does
nothing. Any suggestions?

I got it fixed. I remembered seeing this before and having to
add another
keyboard shortcut to the menu item. When I found I had
already done that,
then I used that shortcut and it turned it off.

Turn off Snaps in Motion 5 when using the Edit Points tool and Beziers

I drew a bunch of Bezier lines and am now going through my animation and fine tuning thier locations using the "Edit Points" tool. Is there a way to turn off the snapping function within the edit points tool?

With snapping on and dragging around points or control points in Edit points, you can temporarily disable the snapping action by holding down the command key.

Problem: Turning off/Connecting to Computer

My ipod will not turn off!! The play/pause button will not get my ipod to turn off. In addition, it's forever stuck in charging mode, draining battery until it turns off. I tried to reset it by connecting it to the computer, but it wont connect (nothing happens on the ipod or the computer) nor will it charge with the computer. Fortunately, I tried to put it into a dock charger, and that worked in charging the ipod again, but the problems above still remain.
What is wrong with this thing? Last time I used it was not too long ago, I added some songs to my ipod and everything was fine and dandy! Is it a battery problem that's affecting the ipod? Should I get the battery replacement thing apple offers (my warranty has expired).

This doesn't seem to work for me. Thanks though
I made a miscomment.
The ipod turns off when I press the play/pause, but then it turns on automatically after 1 sec and says charging (if it's in the charger) or it says charged if it's not hooked up to anything.
I can't read the battery levels.

Problem turning off video`s...sound continues to play

Hi, I am experiencing a problem when turning off a video and switching to listening to music - the sound continues to play over the music track or audiobook - is anyone else experiencing this problem? The only way I can get round it is by pressing the next/fast forward button....but then of course when I want to watch the remainder of the video it restarts from the beginning, not from where I left off! Any help would be appreciated.

Problem turning off Filevault

Hi,
I am trying to turn off Filevault, but when I try to do it, a dialogue box appears saying I have insufficient diskspace. The problem is, it says an additional 4080 GB are required! Unfortunately I don't have access to a drive of such capacity, and my internal drive is a mere 80 gigs. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Any advice is appreciated!

It appears that it's a bug.

problems. AFAIK, the best thing for you to do is

delete the problematic account without saving the

Turning off "snap" option in Logic 8?

I'm brand new to Logic, making the switch over from Audition, which was the sole purpose that I owned a PC for the past 3 years in addition to my mac.
I'm still trying to get a feel for it. I was wondering...is there any way to completely turn off the snapping option, so I can move my audio files freely?
Thank you much!!

Problem Turning Off File Vault

My computer said it would take just under two hours to turn off File Vault. The process appeared to move along as it was supposed to. After the two hours, a message popped up that "copying is complete." My computer has been stuck on that screen for ten hours. Do I leave it? The "Cancel" button is grayed out. I don't want to lose my information. Your advice would be appreciated greatly. Thanks.

How much free space do you have?
If is possible that you don't have enough free space to turn off FV because it must make an unencrypted version before it can be turned off.
Do you have backups of your data?
