PS3/Mac Scan plaid fabric swatch and adjust all lines to be perfectly straigh (not wavy)

Hi I am wanting to scan a plaid fabric swatch and adjust so that all lines are perfectly straigh (not wavy).
I know I have learned how to do this in a class, but I cant find my notes, and am desperate, as I have some artwork that needs to be completed.
Any suggestions or advise is Appreciated!
Thanks

Steaming the fabric flat helps immensely. But to keep the pattern components perfectly lined up is not going to be easy. A T-square, triangle or transparent grid overlay is going to be needed. And you may have to lightly tack the fabric down to a base with spray cement.
And then photograph it with a high-quality longer focal length macro lens. Do not use a zoom lens because of barrel or pin cushion distortion. And make sure you have even lighting on the swatch.
Or carefully place the mounted fabric on a scanner. But be careful that the fabric doesn't move when you close the lid. Scan at a high resolution.

I have a Mac G4 double mirrored model and everytime I shut it off it will not go on when I hit the power off button. However, if I unplug and plug in the power cord it boots fine and everything is OK. The PMU and logic board have been reset. Any ideas?

I have a Power Mac G4 double mirrored model and everytime I shut it off it will not go on when I hit the power on/off button again. However, if I unplug and plug in the power cord it boots fine and everything is OK. The PMU and logic board have been reset. Sometimes my Mac goes on just by pressing the power on button but most times I have to pull the power cord and put it back in. Any ideas or help out there for this? Could it be a failing power supply? Apple Care says that this model is obsolete so there is no help from there. John

Hi John,
That's often a sign of a bsad Capacitor in the Power Supply, but...
Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...

If the Mac's firmware was updated, you can try this Internet Recovery:
Hold down Command + Option + R during restart or bootup; hold until you see a spinning globe (takes up to 10 minutes). Once in the Utilities window, use Disk utility to wipe the drive, then return to the window and choose to reinstall OS X. If that works, the OS will be installed without being tied to an Apple ID.
FWIW, if the firmware was updated, you will not be able to use the Snow leopard disk to install - I just did several tests and it does not work. You can, however, possibly install the SL onto an external drive and then clone it to the internal or (if you have a clone), boot from that and clone it back - I just tested that as well.
If the firmware was not updated, then you can use the SL install disk.

Mac Pro wont software update and a lot of apps keep freezing/crashing/not responding

Mac Pro wont software update and a lot of apps keep freezing/crashing/not responding Im on OSX Lion and i have a Mac Pro 1.1 please help

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I did not use my computer yesterday, and now all of a sudden, Firework does not open at all after clicking on its icon or starting as a program. I did not download any upgrades or anything else, and I have Norton 360 version 3. I can open Internet Explorer, but that's not my default browser, so I have no problem with the Internet connection.
What could be the problem, how can I restore my browser without losing my bookmarks, settings, etc?

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]]. Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] Update Firefox, see [[Updating Firefox]]

Go to: Apple / System Preferences / Displays / Display and depending on your connection method (HDMI, DVI, VGA or Video) try re-selecting either a different Ratio or Resolution.

I am on Mac OS 10.6.7 and Java Plug-in 2 for NAPI will not work in FF4.0?

When trying to attend a webinar which uses the Java 2 NAPI plug-in I get an error message in FF 4.0 saying I need to install thiis plug-in, which is already installed. I have gone to the add-on manager and disabled this plug-in restarted and enabled it again, but it still will not work.
Any ideas?

I forgot one detail. This happened while I was having trouble seeing the mouse cursor (I use Apple's Magic Mouse). It had disappeared briefly. I had to drag the cursor out of the Firefox Window for it to reappear. I accidentally entered full screen view while the cursor was not visible.

MAC iTunes 11 search songs and add all to playlist?

I used to be able enter a search term and find all songs then slect all and add or create a playlist. What happened? now a separate column opens and I try using cmd to select more than one - that doesn't work. Tried shift to slect all that doesn't work. Wish there was a toggle to switch back to old interface. Anyone know how to search and find a more than one at a time to add to a playlist? I use to do that a lot!

I have a similar problem. Dozens of play counts are gone (but not ratings). It affects some songs that are of the kind "Purchased AAC audio file" rather than whole albums.

My Slow Mac Mini - will someone once and for all give me an answer!!

I got a 1.25 ghz Mac Mini with 512 RAM running 10.4.4 . This thing has been so slow since I pulled it out of the box. I always get the colorwheel when doing just about anything. No, I don't have a bunch of apps open, just Safari and Mail. I tried closing Dashboard, but that did not help. There is also this lag, when I mouse over my dock, it does not immediatly respond. This is no fun. Does someone have an educated answer for this problem?

Robert,
If you restart your mini, does it act this slow from the start? Or is it when you use it for a period of time?
Also, open Finder, and click on the Applications section. Look for a program called Activity Monitor (it may be in a folder called Utilities). When that opens, there is a section called Memory (may be Memory Usage). Click on this and sort by Memory on the list. This will show programs that are using significant amounts of memory. My hunch is that a program is eating up all available memory and slowing your mini down. The most likely culprit is Safari. To quit Safari, you have to actual select from the menu, the Quit option. Just clicking on the X will not close Safari.
Post back with the answers to my first two questions. Also, post back with what you find in the Activity Monitor program. There are lots of people here that are more knowledgeable than me, so hang in there, we'll find the answer.

HT4463 i formated my macbook and i cannot install itunes and all the apps that was on my mac. I purchased my mac from the original owner and removed all that was on my mac. how can i get these programs back on my mac

Hi sabineolt1,
Your post indicates you are the operating system on your Mac is 10.5.8
If that is correct, you will need to update to at least 10.0.6 in order to use the Mac App Store and redownload your purchased apps.
Cheers,

Mac OS 10.6 imports and generates all thumbnails at 30 pixels max

I just upgraded from OS 10.5 to 10.6. All of my finder thumbnail icons now have a black border and are 30 pixels maximum width. My default view setting is 128. Some new photoshop ones and screen captures in Firefox have no borders and display at 128 pixels maximum. Even if I move them or simply duplicate them, the moved or duplicated images now have black borders and are reduced to 30 pixels maximum, apparently by the finder.
I have way too many images and folders to manually change them, even if the OS 10.6 finder wasn't continuing to generate 30 pixel thumbnails.
How can I make OS 10.6 make thumbnails that you can tell apart from one another? Also, can I batch convert all thumbnails to 128 pixels resolution?
I had a similar problem on my PowerPC G5, which also downconverted all existing thumbnails to a low resolution when I upgraded to Mac OS X,
Thanks for any advice.

Snow Leopard did that to me, also.
And, it continued into Lion.
Apparently there is an issue with custom icons created by some 3rd-party apps. In my case, the files in question were ones I'd brought over from OS 9, and had custom icons created by GraphicConverter and ColorItEasy.
A solution I found in Lion. After installing the newest version of GraphicConverter, right-clicking (or Control-clicking) brings up a contextual menu. From the "Services..." item in that menu, selecting "Create Icon and Preview" fixes the problem. The best news is that this can be done to many files at once - select a group in Finder, then right-click and make the menu selection.
Unfortunately I could not get that to work in Snow Leopard, even after installing the latest version of GraphicConverter.
However, what did work in Snow Leopard was to select a file or group of files, right-click them, then from the "Services..." submenu select "Create icon and Preview" followed by "Remove resourcefork". Got a good icon right away. This, too, works on a group of files.
