Protect an area

How to protect some area in the Illustrator from changes? Like Photoshop does.
What I mean is: In the Photoshop I can select some area with Selection tool, let's say a rectangle. Then I can edit that area without a risk to harm any pixels outside it. I can apply any filter to it (blur, etc.), I can fill it with some colour or pattern. And the area outside the selection will be unchanged.
I can not find any way in the Illustrator to do the same or even a similar thing! I can isolate some object or group. but I can not isolate an area/region.
Please help.
Thanks.

First of all, using a mask is a workaround in such a case. For example, if you make an illustration to sell it at "stocks" like shutterstock or fotolia, they require those parts to be deleted, not just masked.
But I do not understand, why can "raster eraser" be "straight", but the "vector" one can not.
For example, there is the Area Type tool. I can draw a rectangle and type some text inside it. And the text will not go outside the rectangle. It has a "feeling of bounds". Why the eraser and kife do not have it? What about a brush limited by some area? I see no reason why it is not possible.
Or, let's say, the Sprayer. It creates lots of symbols and they are distributed in some way. But I can not select some area to fill it with symbols. Tell me: Why can I fill some area with a font, but acn not fill it with symbols? Why can not I fill it with some other objects?
Oh, yes, I can move the objects manually to distribute them in some area. And spend a couple of hours. But the Illustrator can not distribute them for me. Why?

Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.

How to protect an area in a chroma key?

Hi Folks,
I'm having a bit of a problem performing a key on a section of footage. There's an article in the foreground that unfortunately is the color of the greenscreen (bluescreen actually). Is there any way to 'protect' that area so that the chroma key filter doesn't affect it? The closest solution I've come up with is to duplicate the section of footage and move the copy to the next higher video track, then use a shape mask to frame the small section that is problematic. This works for the most part except that during the cross dissolve at the beginning and end of the clip. During the dissolve you can clearly see the shape of the mask as it doesn't 'dissolve' at the same rate as the dissolve on the underlying original clip.
I would imagine that there has to be a simpler way to accomplish this, but it's eluding me.
Thanks,
Chris

If you have to dissolve between composites, which is what you're creating with holdout and edge mattes and keys, you have to merge all the layers into one and then you can apply those transitions. You need to either key all the video you're using, export animation + which will maintain the alpha and edit into your sequence or export selects to Motion with sufficient handles for your dissolves and then import those Motion projects back into FCP.
You could create sequences of any selects, do the key in FCP with your mattes, import those sequences into your master which would also take care of any dissolves. However, Motion has a superior keyer and matte tools over FCP.
At any rate, this involves some organizational strategy over just applying a keyer to a layer in FCP.

SMARTFORMS: Protect certain area ...

Hi,
Problem:
I want to protect a certain aerea of the form, which
includes windows, boxes etc..
It should be printed after the main-window is finished
(Property I have set and works fine).
BUT the protected area should only be printed,
if all the items will fit onto the rest of the page.
If not, a page-break should be processed.
Is there a similar command like <PROTECT: ENDPROTECT:>
in SF?
Thanks a lot for help

I also find same problem with you, Michael, but now I found the better solution that is,
1) You should separate to several windows.
2) Lets say you just want to display 'TOTAL' at the last page after the last items in main window, you can define total at the independent window, double click this window > under 'condition" tab > you can see the box named "additional event" -> tick "only after end of main window"
3) Then now you can see those window only at the very last page after last item in main window.
p/s you can define several windows that you only want to print at the very last page (after last item in main window) using same steps above.
It works well same as commands:-
<i>If &nextpage& = 0</i> in Sapscripts
Hope it helps you although is late.

JSP protected pages are "forbidden" when request passed with access URL

Dear All,
I am encountering a very strange problem. Let me know if you have any solution for this issue:
Setup:
1. Dedicated OpenSSO idp (different domain)
2. Service Provider - contains a portal which in turn uses a webservice.
Both the portal and web services are installed on the Tomcat server.
3. OpenSSO agent for Tomcat is also installed on the SP machine.
Now, when I deploy my client portal and the web service, I am not able to access:
1. wsdl (like, http://localhost:8080/Service?wsdl)
2. Any jsp page to which I pass request parameters through URL. (like, http://localhost:8080/test.jsp?test=1
I get a message indication - resource is forbidden. (Note, I have already done a OpenSSO login prior to this. Also access is granted to the above mentioned URLs for the logged in user).
Let me know if I am missing out something.
Thanks,
tarak

Hi All,
I got a solution to this problem.
Refer: http://blogs.sun.com/JohnD/entry/opensso_wildcards_and_handling_resources
Extract:
Handling Resources That Contain Query Strings:
Some resources use a query string, which is the part of a URL that contains data to be passed to web applications. The following is a feasible example of a URL that contains a query string: http://AgentHost/path/app?query-string. The question mark (?) is the separator. It is not part of the query string. Many scenarios exist in which query strings might be used. They can be used for personalization of the user's session. Sometimes an application might add some locale information for a page request. The following example demonstrates the use of such locale information:
http://AgentHost.com:8080/sampleapp/main.jsp?language=en&country=US.
Neither the multi-level wildcard (*) nor the one-level wildcard (--) match the question mark. Therefore, to define a policy resource that can handle the question mark, use the multi-level wildcard on both sides of a question mark, as follows: ?* (asterisk-question mark-asterisk).

Do we need face protection on are i pad 2

do we need face protection on i pad 2

I think she means screen protectors. And technically, no. the screen is glass and shouldn't need protection. That said.....you've paid at least 500 dollars for the device, shelling out a few more bucks to protect it isn't exactly a bad thing.
If you're going to keep it tucked safely somewhere, then you can probably get away with out it. But if you're going to toss it in a bag and haul it around, I'd get it in a case and possibly with a screen protector, just to protect your investment

Purchases are considered final but you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
You will possibly need to the order numbers, which you can get via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it, click on that and you should then see a list of the purchases on it.

I am currently running webroot internet security essentials with spy sweeper antispy protection. Are there any known issues with software?

I don't know what else to put. I am just asking a question.

I actually dont have any trouble with the mode switching right now, it works great. That's actually why I'm buying the second X-fi, so I have the ability to switch modes with the different cards. I'm not using the software that came on the CD, but the updated drivers off of the web, and there is a drop down box to change which card you want to set settings for. What issues should I be looking out for?

Best option for protecting the palm wrest area from staining?

My new white MacBook is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I currently use a blackbook. Anyway, I have kind of oily skin, and I'm worried about staining on the white plastic on the new computer where my palms rest during use.
What's the best option for protecting this area? I've seen the Marware protection pack, but I've read quite a few bad reviews on it.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Dave

I use Mareware's product on my WhiteBook and it is sold at the Apple Store and Apple online. It also comes with a keyboard cover cloth to put on when the Book is closed to protect the screen. The cloth doubles as a soft wipe for the screen. The palm rest is custom fitted for the palm area and is removable. I have removed it twice and stuck it back on.

Many of my albums are listed in iTMS but match is uploading my local music

I've been an Apple user for over 15 years but for all its simplicity Match more or less stumps me so I am coming here hoping one less muddled can explain this.
I have a library of 21,000 and after its initial trawl iTunes Match seemed to indicate it had found about 4,000 matches. Even for my diverse eclectic taste I thought this a bit low. Shortly after I noticed that a number of albums I had bought from iTMS that were either still protected or were unprotected had been marked for upload. Then looking at my purchased collection form emusic and cd's i had converted many of these too were marked for upload despite any being available for download on iTMS.
It has so far taken a week to get my music uploaded as far as now having more than half of my library on iCloud servers and i've been through all the usual hang and drop nonsense getting that far with about 9000 more to be uploaded. Once I have finished my upload I was hoping to replace a number of cd's and iTMS sourced tracks from iCloud but this does not appear to be the case.
Is there any tip or solution to make iTunes Match associate these albums it is passing over or must i just lump it and accept my low quality copies are not going to be improved which is not what Apple was offering me when i signed up for the service. I am not that fussed about the emusic music as being in similar quality MP3 there may be little merit swopping for AAC copies but it is narking me that I have music iTMS sold me or did not allow me through iTunes Plus to upgrade from protected that are there on iTMS that I cannot take advantage of the upgrade offer.... ??? feel fre to answer or point me to other posts covering this issue.
Adrian
PS I too am suffering the now widespread Beatles 'She Came in through the Bathroom Window' iTunes Match that it seems unable to match!!!

Thanks Michael and Keith.
I had done a read around at many of the usual candidate mac support sites but nothing really un-muddles my mind about this. I have enabled iCloud Status in my playlists and I have set up a number of smart playlists to assess and monitor the process of the upload.
I have 21555 'music' files of which 9246 songs listed as "matched"
Of the 13083 songs currently not "matched' 1642 are listed as "purchased" 2053 are "Uploaded" 9341 are "waiting" 3 are "ineligible" 24 are "Duplicate" 5 are listed as "Error"
In my iTunes Purchased smart playlist tells me
of 1837 songs 20 are "matched" 1613 are "purchased" 163 are "waiting" or "uploaded" 35 are "inelegible"
1561 Purchased AAC files 3 are "matched" 16 are "waiting" and the rest "purchased"
257 Protected AAC include 16 "matched" 71 are "purchased" 5 are "uploaded" 134 "waiting" 30 are "inelegible"
Of the 3135 eMusic songs
2259 are "matched" 871 are "waiting"
I have only so far seen 3 albums with the download icloud icon and the 3 are from the iTunes Store and they are all of the same quality and type as the copies I already have.
If nothing else how do identify those songs iCloud is going to rely on songs held by Apple already and for those songs that are of a higher quality or have removed protected status how are they downloaded?

Restricting Multiple Users To Only Their Specific Areas Of A Site

I think I understand the basics of user authentication and
password protection for areas of a site using PHP/MySQL, etc. Maybe
I don't however.
My question is: If I have 10 users how do I restrict each
user to only their specific pages in the site so that they can only
see their specific pages and not every protected page?
See, maybe I don't understand, but any help would be
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My iTunes Plus songs are no longer Plus in iTunes

I upgraded my iTunes songs to Plus a year or so ago. I created an MP3 from one just to make sure the DRM was gone and it was. I paid my money and all is good. Today I want to make some more MP3 files to play in my car. Low and behold all my previously upgraded songs now show as PROTECTED in iTunes (for Windows) and when I try to create the MP3s is says I can't make an MP3 from a Protected song period end of sentence. I checked my iTunes Store account and there is no quick link to upgrade any of my songs, I did find the order where I paid to upgrade them a year ago but on my PC the songs have reverted back to protected with no option to unprotect them. Again the iTunes store says I have upgraded all my songs to PLUS but iTunes on my PC says the same songs are now PROTECTED.
I have gone through several iTunes upgrades since converting my songs to PLUS. I have no idea when the PLUS songs reverted back to PROTECTED. Any insight appreciated. J

OK.
The protected files are .m4a files and are encoded at 128kbs give or take.
I was able to find the MP3 files I created from them a year+ ago and they are 256kb. So I think I must have somehow deleted the .m4p files after creating the MP3s or does iTunes do that automatically.
My question now is when I upgraded my songs to PLUS did iTunes add a .m4p and keep the .m4a and when I created the MP3s did iTunes delete the .m4p files at that time?
At this point I am OK since I did find MP3 versions of all my PLUS songs and they are encoded at 256kbs.

Torch is not working I need to get my info from BB Protect

My Torch just stopped working and I just got an iPhone. I need to get my info that is stored on BB Protect and download my pics, etc. into my PC or my new iPhone. How can I do this? I have a lot of work stuff in there and I am desperate!

1. Pics are not backed up to Protect. Are you pics on your REMOVABLE media card in your 9810?
2. You can only restore Protect backed up data to another BlackBerry. Have you ever backed your 9810 using the BlackBerry Desktop Software?
3. Get a new BlackBerry Z10... soooo much better than an iPhone... and you can restore your Protect data direct.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
