PDF is the modern way of sending files but what you might want to do is in this case select the art in question and go to Object>Flatten Transparency
then save it as a pdf or as an ai file when sending the file to them zip it if they have windows based computers or stuffit if they have Mac actually zip is good for both.
It is safer to send it as an archive then as an ai file.

5 Steps in Avoiding Social Media Blackmail

It is very common for people these days to become blackmail victims online. Social media services are not to be blamed but the way they are being used. Here are 5 steps avoiding social media blackmail:If you do not want something to be known avoid putting it online. Do not write your personal thoughts about anybody in your social media account as it is read not only by your friends but others who know their way around the Internet.Avoid uploading pictures of yourself and what valuables you have as it is the easiest way to invite blackmailers, stalkers, hijackers, kidnappers and scammers in your life. You will be easily identified wherever you go.Adjust your social networking so only your friends can see private information about you. Do not post your phone number, mobile number, email address, street address and any personal information in the Internet. You real friends know your phone number and where you live.Avoid communicating with anyone other than legitimate, bonafide friends; at least verify communication from new people. Even in the Internet, do not talk to strangers.If a message looks dubious, delete it. Do not click on links unless you are absolutely sure what they are.Now that you know the risk involved in social networking, you will keep in mind the 5 steps avoiding social media blackmail.

Thanks, other OS X and iOS devices in the house don't have this issue, so I'm not sure the router is the problem.
Did you reboot your router anyway? Your router is responsible for delivering correct settings to each device. It might do ok for some but it could have some problems with other devices.
If after rebooting router problems still appears, try to change DNS's.
Go to System Preferences > Network. If you are using WiFi connection, then select on the left panel Airport connection and then click on Advanced settings. Go to DNS, and add to entries:
Before testing, make sure that you have applied changes.

What is the best practice for creating master pages and styles with translated text?

I format translated text all the time for my company. I want to create a set of master pages and styles for each language and then import those styles into future translated documents. That way, the formatting can be done quickly and easily.
What are the best practices for doing this? As a company this has been tried in the past, but without success. I'd like to know what other people are doing in this regard.
Thank you!

I create a master template that is usually void of content, with the exception I define as many of the paragraph styles I believe can/will be used with examples of their use in the body of the document--a style guide for that client. When beginning a new document for that client, I import those styles from the paragraph styles panel.
Exception to this is when in a rush I begin documentation first, then begin new work. Then in the new work, I still pull in those defined paragraph and or object styles via their panels into the new work.
There are times I need new styles. If they have broader applicability than a one-off instance or publication, then I open the style template for that client and import that style(s) from the publication containing the new style(s) and create example paragraphs and usage instructions.
Take care, Mike

On best practices for minimizing user impact for db/dw migrations

Hi Everybody!
Our department will be undertaking the migration of our ODS and Datawarehouse to Oracle 10g in the coming months and I wanted to query this group in anticipation for any good tips, DOs and DON'Ts and best practices that you might want to share with the group on how to minimize user impact, especially when some of the queries that different departments use have no known author and would need to be migrated to a different database dialect. Our organization is a large one and therefore efficacy in communicating the benefits of our project and handling a large number of user questions will be key items in our conversion plan.
Thanks a lot to all those who can contribute to this thread, hopefully it will become a good way to record the expertise of this group's members on this very specific project category.
-Ignacio

BTW it is not clear from WHAT you want to migrate? Other DB or simply other Oracle version?
OK anyway speaking about Data migration strategy there is at least one valueable article
http://www.dulcian.com/papers/The%20Complete%20Data%20Migration%20Methodology.html
Speking about technical execution you can look at my article Data migration from old to new application: an experience at http://www.gplivna.eu/papers/legacy_app_migration.htm
None of them focuse on datawarehouse though.

Social Media Trends for 2014 - Have you noticed them?

Recently I have been conducting some research on Social Media trends that have grown in popularity especially this year and look likley to continue to grow.
Here are the top 5 trends that most experts recognise as an area of focus for all social media specialists. I would love to hear some feedback on this and see of you are using any of these channels on a day to day basis and keeping up with the trends.
Twitter - Real Time Twitter Visual Advertising rapidly increasing and becoming more and more noticeable. Visual content is KING! as it gives you the ability to communicate complex messages very quickly. This is essential and is becoming more popular because it allows Digital Marketers to grab the attention of users quickly and swiftly.
Google Plus - The growth of Google Plus has man predicting that it will pass Facebook in users in 2016. A lot of people agree that it is time to enter the fray as along with many benefits that come with Google Plus the main benefits includes cirlces & niche content as well helping with your SEO.
Facebook Advertising: 90% of Facebook's revenue comes from Facebook advertising and the numbers are expected to keep growing. My experience with Facebook advertising is that it does work but does it work for you?
The downfall of Facebook Advertising is the constant change and tweaking that continuously happens. From the changing of the interface to the changing of ads it does become frustrating at times. The thought of limiting free traffic to your pages is a big NO-NO for me as it pushes you to pay in order to build a fan base that you've worked hard for.
Blogging: Blogging is far from dead! Tumblr has roughly over 100 million blogs and WordPress is not too far behind at 63 million. Blogging is still very dominating and a great way to get content directly to consumers and prospects easily and efficiently. Blogging if done correctly can be the sole driver of users to your website.
Podcasting: Podcasting is a "multimedia digital file made available on the Internet for downloading to a portable media player." The number of digital marketers using podcasts sits at around 5% but in the next 12 months could jump to 24%. .

That can be a problem with a plugin, possibly Java.

Cannot upload to social media! - no presets available

- adobe premiere elements 12
- windows 8.1
- quick time 7.75
when i want to upload to social media no presets are shown
what can i do?
i need help - please

bravo palombini
Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Have you updated from 12 to 12.1 Update? If not, please do so, using a project's Help Menu/Update.
When you go to Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime, do you find presets for the QuickTime choice? If so, what are they?
Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Web Sharing and refresh the Online Services?
Next, if problem not resolved...delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elemens
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then we delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path. In Windows 8.1, I believe that the path to Folder Options starts with File Explorer.
Please review and consider and then let us know if any of the above works for you. More later.
Thank you.

NO SIGNAL NO SOCIAL MEDIA TO CONTACT EE

Which is the only way they bother to answer if you look online. It says dial 150 yes if I had service that wouldn't be a problem.
Online you appear to answer Twitter and Facebook users very quickly. I've been waiting for my reply.
I'm home alone with a newborn. I'm the emergency contact for my other half and my mother. Nobody can contact me. If I need help I can't contact anybody.
This service is a disgrace. Be nice if someone would deign to reply. As I'm not on social media I don't get the same response time or treatment.

Hi ,
Thanks for coming to the forum.
When you got the text had you ordered a new SIM card or Upgrade?
Thanks.

I need to find out how to contact upeer management to try and resolve an issue before I open a complaint with the Attorney Generals Office as well as the Better Business Bureau and social media.

I have been with Verizon for 15 years. I have a family share plan with 2 smart phones a standard phone and a jetpack for wireless access. I pay for insurance on the 2 smartphones. Approximately a year ago I made a payment arrangement to continue service on my account even though I had some business difficulties. I was told that while the arrangement was in place I could not make any changes to my account. However, since then I have had the following issues and when I try and contact Verizon to try and resolve them I am place on eternal hold or disconnected.
Issue #1: My daughter lost her phone in June 2014. (The contract on this phone was up in 2013) I have been told that I cannot replace the phone even though I pay the insurance premium of $9.95 a month. I have been billed for it and have also been charged $54.87 for the monthly service as well. The phone has not made or received a call since June 4, 2014 yet I have been charged $274.38 I just was able to have the service suspended at the store today, 11/29/2014
Issue #2 My phone has intermittent flaws, locking up and reuring rests, dropping calls, failing to receive calls etc along with horrible battery life. I went into the local verizon store and they ordered me a refurbished replacement phone which was subsequently sent to me. When I received it I took it to the store to have them assist me in setting it up properly. I was told that I should NOT set it up but send it back due to some physical damage present on my old phone that would most likely result in a $150 charge...it was recommended that I just upgrade my phones as they were all out of contract and that would be the best solution. I asked the manager if that would be possible due to the "terms" on my account and she said "it would not be a problem". I was interested in an Iphone 6 which was not in stock so I sent the replacement phone back and left, to wait for the phone to become available.
Issue #3 I had a JetPack that was recently stolen from my car. I stopped in to ask what to do about it (it is no longer under contract either) They suspended the service and recomended I wait until I upgraded my other phones and then get a new Jet Pack. I just received noticed that they were going to continue billing me for it this week, even though it has been out of contract for several months??????
I recently went to Best Buy to take advantage of their Black Friday deals and was told that based on the status of my account I was ineligible for any upgrades. We called Verizon from the Best Buy and they told me that I needed to address my account status (I just made the scheduled payment on the 23rd of Nov) either with Financial Services or go to a Corporate Store. I went to the store and was told there was nothing that could be done at that level, I would need to talk to financial services (which was closed)
So, I am extremely frustrated and upset with this whole situation and wanted to make one more attempt to resolve it with Verizon before I make a full blown complaint to the Attorney Generals Office, the Better Business Bureau as well as post this incredibly BAD customer service story on social media. I hope that I hear from someone ASAP as this is critical that I get things resolved immediately. I can be reached at [removed].

Complain to the Attorney General about what? There is nothing in your story worth any such complaint. They will tell you the same.
First you have payment difficulty so credit and the Edge program are not available to you. You have to be credit worthy to get any upgrade, unless you can pay full price for all those new devices.
Can you?
You are trying to get new contract plans, but since you are having paying on time and in full issues you will not get extended credit from any carrier.
What I would do is go and port out to Boost or Virgin Mobile where you pay a reduced cost for each device and get unlimited everything for $40 to $50 a month, it is pre pay so if you don't pay you get cut off.
Verizon although with the best coverage is also the highest priced.
Good Luck

Making the local social media notifications available as feeds in sap C4C

Hello Experts,
we have a requirement of making our local notification centre available on feeds tab on SAP C4C.
My approach is to go with a custom BO and bring the data from the Social media site and store it in C4C and display it.
Its just a thought i didn't do any R&D yet.
So please suggest something.....
Regards

Using Automator for Social Media

Hi,
I would like to use Automator to schedule social media posts (links/articles) on a daily basis on 4 different platforms. Is this possible?
If you have tried or are using this method, or would like to please get back to me.
Would be a great way to avoid external software permissions and do it all privately and all for FREE.
With reports and metrics. This may require some Apple Script. I am trying to do what Hootsuite does.
I can probably execute 50%, but would need an Apple developer's expertise to seal it all.
Thank you for your time and effort.
Kind regards,
Brigitte.

you don't need automator for this. go to finder preferences->general and check the box to show connected servers on the desktop. then just connect to the remote computers and then drag the mounted volumes from the desktop to your login items in system preferences->accounts->login items. then when you log in the remote computers will be automatically mounted. you can also use a cloud storage solution like Mobileme or DropBox and store the password database file in a central online location.

Business Catalyst and Social Media Updating

I'm new to Business Catalyst and aside from link integration between BC hosted websites and Facebook, etc, is there an application that would allow automated post updates to the primary social media pages, similar to functionality that third-party email marketing service providers are offering. If not yet available, can anyone recommend an add-on service that might expand the social media reach. This seems to come up in every client consultation.

Custom social media buttons

Hello Dreamweavers,
I am working on a site that will have twitter and facebook buttons.
I tried the buttons provided by twitter and facebook: For twitter the "tweet" button and for facebook the "like" and "send" button as you generate on their sites.
There is a lot not to like about this: You don't control the looks (they are loaded through a script), the buttons facebook and twitter are different in size, they come with a ton of code that is loaded from the facebook servers and thus seem to slow down loadtimes.
The facebook button is quite wide and does not go well with my fluid design.
I would like to replace them with my own.
The fb and twitter scripts also send info, like the page you come from, username etc, so that users can quickly send that page to their followers.
The company that the site is for does not have a facebook page or twitteraccount.
We don't want a counter with the buttons.
So how can I have my own buttons and still have (some) of the functionality that the FB and Twitter buttons offer?

don't understand why you are adding buttons to a web page whose company does not have social media accounts for those buttons to link to?
Actually is not really a real "company" it is more like a collaboration of people with an idea that won a price with that.
Visitors cab join in if they want.
So it is a "social" thing, but all the info will be on the site.
The people that will visit the site are typical users of twitter and facebook (and Linkedin) and will most likely use that to share the site.
In any case, you can design any button you like and change the URL to link directly to the facebook or twitter page. It does not need to have the functionality but you mention you want to keep some of that functionality - what parts exactly?
For instance that the URL of the page that you want to share is sent.
And I set up the site with Open Graph, so you can "send" the page complte with a description, url and small picture.
I must add that this whole social media thing is unknown territory for me, I am reading up on it right now.
So perhaps I should rephrase my question:
Do you or did you implement social media buttons in the website you built and if yes, how did you do that and why?

Aligning social media icons on a page (Was:Need Div help, please.)

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out the best way to get the social media icons on the right side in a row, side by side, no space between.
Can I use a div?
Problem is now is that depending on monitor/screen size, the spacing changes.
Again, I want to have them all together with no spacing, centered on the right at all times.
http://www.saintleo.edu/SocialMediaSliders/Kathryn-JK.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
JK

Yes, I took a look at the website. I saw that they were sliders.
It's hard for me to answer if putting an unordered list will hurt your code. The code that you have is not indented so it's extremely hard to read.
I would try putting the image in the <li> first. Make a backup of the page if you're nervous, and work on the backup. So your current content is live, and your backup can be toyed with until you have it right.
Also:
If using an unordered list scares you, there is an alternative which may work. I will use #twitter_right img as an example.
You are using absolute positioning. There is no reason to do this and I'm under the impression that absolute positioning should be avoided.
Your current CSS Rules for this are as follows:
#twitter_right img {
     left: -52px;
     position:absolute;
     top: 45px;
Instead, it should be:
#twitter_right img {
     float:right;
     margin-top:45px;
Now, if you wanted to get fancy you could do this: (The CSS Identifiers are not accurate... just showing you an exmple)
#twitter_right img, #facebook_right img, #youtube_right img {
     float:right;
     margin-bottom:45px; -- this is could also be padding. Set this value to the height of the image if you don't want spacing.
That way, when the slider moves out, the icon will move with it. Additionally, the spacing would be equal across the board.
