Quickbox2D eraser

How to erase/destroy quick objects in an array?
My application is similar to linerider where you draw a line and it forms into quick objects allowing another quick object (ball) to roll on it. I want to erase the line (quickobjects) like an eraser, is there any way to do it?

function key_down(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
    if (event.keyCode==48) {
          I want users to press "0" and mouseover to ERASE any part of the line(quickobjects)
any idea how to do it? thanks!

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

  • HT201084 My family shares one Apple ID on multiple devices.  How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

    My family currently shares one Apple ID on multiple devices and has for quite awhile.  How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID and the Family Sharing without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

    Thank you again for your time, GB.
    I set up individual Apple ID's for my children so that they could have their own Apple ID on their individual iPad minis (gifts from grandparents last year).  When I go to iCloud under Settings, I see my Apple ID listed at the top, then my children's listed under Family Sharing.  So the device is still using my Apple ID for iCloud, iTunes, etc., correct?
    To "assign" their own Apple ID to their own iPad mini, I would need to "Sign Out" from my Apple ID.  When I attempt to do so, I receive a warning that all of the Documents and Data will be lost/deleted. 
    So, instead of doing this, I figured out that I could do what you suggested.  Signing in using a child's Apple ID will allow her/him to use Game Center, FaceTime, and Messages just fine.  However, using their Apple ID for iTunes & App Store proved to be a problem:  Purchased Music and Movies appeared in iTunes, but my Purchased Apps did not appear.  Some Apps even disappeared, e.g. Proloquo4Text (a $99 app to help my son speak with his iPad).
    So I reverted to using my Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, and I get everything that I want, EXCEPT for the iCloud storage for each Apple ID.
    So that's when I started wondering how Family Sharing was really benefiting me ~ It was a lot of work (deleting apps to allow space to download iOS 8, etc) without any benefit that I can see.  UNLESS I find a means to allow me to sign in each iPad's iCloud account with a different AppleID, then perhaps restore the Documents and Data from a backup?  Would that work?
    Thanks.

  • I accidentally erased a music album that I purchased on iTunes. How can I get the iTunes store to recognize that it is no longer in my iTunes library and download it again?

    I accidentally erased a music album that I purchased on iTunes. How can I get the iTunes store to recognize that it is no longer in my iTunes library and download it again?

    Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
    If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't.  You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.

  • How can i sync my iphone with itnes on a new pc.  when i tried to sync it said it will erase the contents on my iphone to sync with the new pc which has no contents

    my old pc was running low in memory and i don't have enough space to back up in order to instal iOS5.  so i got a new pc, installed itunes on it but when i tried to sync my iphone on the new pc, it said it'll erase all contents on my iphone and sync with the new pc which has no contents. it says iphone can only sync with one machine. 
    can you pls help

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Can family members added as part of the Family Share feature of iOS 8 really erase other family members devices with the Find My iPhone feature?

    I initiated a Chat session with Apple Support to see if this was really possible.  The answer I got was that it DID seem possible at this time.  If this is true, then Apple may want to look at giving the sharing device the option to disallow other family members from erasing that device remotely (or playing sound, entering lost mode).
    I would be comfortable allowing my wife to lock my iphone or erase it remotely if needed, but I would not want any of my kids to have that ability.
    Can somebody else confirm this could be done?

    Good day,

    Just tested this.  You have to enter the Apple ID Password for the device you are trying to remote erase.  You CAN put the device in lost mode without the password, but you cannot initiate a remote wipe without the password for the device.

    There probably is, but it requires that you be able to use punctuation and write in sentences so that we can understand exactly what you want.
    You can block others from using your Apple ID by changing your password.  There is no way to erase what was already downloaded on to someone else's device, for obvious reasons,

  • Windows 8.1 erasing and changing files with chkdsk on external drives. Unnaceptable.

    I work for IT support for a small production studio.
    They use Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 for they workstations and linux on the rendering farm.
    There is an automated system with a nas to make backups of the production assets and renderings.
    They have ESATA ports on all the wokstations and use external hard drives to make backups of users files, each user has the responsability of make his /her own backup of personal files (or files from his computer that belong to production like photoshop
    patterns, brushes, licenses, rendering tests, plugins, etc).
    A week ago the main hard drive of one of the workstations failed.
    No problem. New, hard drive, fresh windows install, activation, production software, licenses from license server.
    But at the time of restoring the files, the external hard drive of the user contained only old files, and some new but not all. At first time, the user was blamed, but hw swears that he backedup his files. Two days later another user complained that is disk
    contained only the old files and his past backup was lost. I was called for help.
    After several tests i was able to reproduce the problem:
    Windows 8.1: Plug an external disk, make backups, copy new files erase old files, etc, eject the disk using safe removal.
    Windows 7: Plug THAT DISK, erase files, copy new files, make backups etc.
    Now here comes the problem: PLUG THAT DISK ON ANY COMPUTER WITH WINDOWS 8.1. A few seconds later windows reports that the disk had problems but some corrections were made and everything is ok. IT'S NOT. Any file copied from the prevous backup
    is erased (or now it has zero size) and previously erased files are there again. Some of these files are corrupted now but windows says that the disk is OK.
    -All the Workstations are up to date with a WSUS (as far as i know).
    -The external hard disks are OK (even i used a new formated disk attached to an itnernal port to reproduce the problem.
    Moving the backup disk between Windows 7 workstations is ok.
    Moving the backup disk between Windows 8.1 workstations sometimes triggers the problem.
    Moving the backup disk from a windows 7 workstation to a Windows 8.1 workstation ALWAYS triggers the problem.
    Windows 8.1 automatically triggers chkdsk and autorepair the disk a few seconds after insertion unless the user has the disk busy, in that case pops an alert for resterting the computer, and again erases new files and undelete old ones.
    First time in my life i see windows doing something like that to a healthy external hard drive.
    The event viewer is filled with chkdsk errors like the 26226 and 26228.
    We need a solution and i need an explanation of why this behaviour.
    Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

    Hi  Artag,
    I want to know what kind of hard disk is that ? A GPT format or MBR format?
    According to your description,  the GPT format hard disk might not be detected by a computer with a MBR format hard disk, vice versa, so, I suggest to check the disk format by plugining the hard disk to a bootable Windows 7 system, then:
    In the Disk Management console, on the View menu, point to Top, and then click Disk List. The upper pane displays a list of disk drives that specifies the partition style in the last column.
    The details about the get disk format steps and information about GPT format, you can find it below:

  • I force-restarted my MacBook Pro and now it wants me to repair or erase my disk and Reinstall Mavericks.  But I can't back up my files to do this.  HELP!!!!!

    I had to force shut down my MacBook Pro today as it was freezing up and not allowing me to really click on anything.  All it let me do was close out of Photoshop.  What happened was FireFox decided to crash and not reopen after attempting to install an updated version of Flash Player.  When I rebooted after the force-shut down (holding down the power button to turn off my computer, which has always been effective in the past), I got a screen for OS X Utilities with the following prompts:
    Restore From Time Machine Backup
    Reinstall OS X
    Get Help Online
    Disk Utility
    So, the first one is out of the question.  In the 5 1/2 years I've proudly owned my computer, I have never created a Time Machine account/backup.  I have preferred to use an external hard drive.  Unfortunately, the other prompts would be A-okay, if it weren't for the fact that I've been lax in updating my backup and haven't backed up to my external in about 8 months.
    Because.... Unfortunately, to Reinstall OS X, my computer wants to erase all my data, so I need the backup of my files.  (I have a lot of photos on my drive).  But it says I can't even reinstall, because the hard drive is locked.... What?
    And it won't repair my hard drive.  The prompts for why it should be repaired are: Invalid content in journal, Invalid B-tree node size, The volume could not be verified completely.
    When I try to create a new image to backup to my external in order to wipe my system, it says "Unable to create "disk0s2.dmg" (invalid argument).  Now, I am not totally computer illiterate.  I can follow a set of instructions and do my own IT work basically 99% of the time.  But this is ludicrous.  I don't want to loose my images or lesson plans (I actually just got my school issued laptop and was going to transfer school files over to my school-issued computer as soon as I finished with my Internet needs (bills)).
    What do I need to do to get my files backed up or fix this problem.  I've rebooted my computer twice now to try to fix this...

  • Disk Utility: Differences between "Zero Out Data" and "7-Pass Erase"?

    I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a significant difference between the "Zero Out Data" erase option in Disk Utility (specifically Disk Utility 10.5.5), and the "7-Pass Erase" and "35-Pass Erase" options in same software.
    Here's why I'm asking: I have a co-worker with an iMac G5 20" 1.8GHz with 160GB internal hard drive. As a result of the power supply overheating a week ago due to dust, some hard drive problems resulted. I'm trying to assess whether these are 'soft' formatting problems that can be recovered from, or 'hard' problems requiring replacement of the hard drive and/or power supply.
    Following the failure, I removed the dust and restored the iMac to servicable form. The power supply seems to be OK now. The next thing was to attempt to recover as much data as possible from the 160GB, as the last full backup was a week old. Carbon Copy Cloner, shell copy via 'sudo cp -p -R -v', Finder copy, and DiskWarrior recovery all met with problems. TechTool Pro identified a huge swatch of unreadable sectors during repeated surface scans. Unfortunately, these unreadable sectors were located midway in the OSX boot partition (an 80GB partition), and not in the other 80GB partition devoted to lower priority video data.
    When I was satisfied I had backed up the data to the best of my abilities, I next set out to reformat the drive and see if the bad sectors could be eliminated or remapped out of existence. I did a "Zero Out Data" erasure in Disk Utility (with no errors during the erase), but TechTool Pro showed the bad sectors persisted in equal strength at the same location. I next executed a sixteen hour "7-Pass Erase" (again no errors, and confirming that it takes about an hour per 10GB). The next day when I ran TechTool pro, all of the sector errors had disappeared. I'm a bit perplexed as to why the "7-Pass Erase" seems to have recovered the use of the drive. Is it possible that there are simply thousands of bad sectors now remapped that I'm not seeing? [If so, how do I check for this?] TechTool Pro has not reported any S.M.A.R.T. issues to date on the drive. What am I to make of that?
    There are some related threads I've checked into, but I'm not sure how to properly assess my situation based on this information:
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=232007>
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=138559>
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=118455>
    Since the iMac has three weeks left on it's one year warranty, and I've already moved the user to another machine temporarily, I'm thinking that the smart thing to so is to send it in to Apple to have them look at the power supply and hard drive. That way, when it returns, even if there is still a lingering hardware problem, at least it will be covered under warranty for another 90 days.
    Any thoughts?

    HI, Bret.
    The only differences between "Zero Out Data", "7-Pass Erase", and "35-Pass Erase" are the number of times a binary zero is written to every bit on the disk. "Zero Out Data" writes a binary zero once, whereas the 7- and 35-Pass options write a zero seven and 35 times, respectively.
    Technically, one pass with Zero Out Data should be sufficient to map bad sectors out of service, a process also known as sparing. If a bad sector is encountered, it is both marked as "in use" in the directory's allocation table and added to the directory's "bad blocks file."
    My understanding is that the Surface Scan of Tech Tool Pro should identify bad sectors every time it is run unless the bad sectors have been locked out by the drive controller of the ATA drive itself. This is because Surface Scan checks the entire surface of the disk.
    What may have happened is that running "Zero Out Data" spared the bad blocks from a directory standpoint, but did not result in the drive's controller locking out those sectors for reasons detailed in the "Surface Scan" section of the Tech Tool Pro manual. However, the 7-Pass Erase may have resulted in the drive's controller locking out the bad sectors and why Surface Scan did not pick them up after such.
    Given the problems you described, I concur with your plan to have Apple check the affected computer. You might also want to consider purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan for that Mac: I recommend and buy these for all my Macs.
    For some additional information on bad sectors, see the "Bad Sectors" section of my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ.
    Good luck!

    I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it?  Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:

  • My 2006 MBP 15" has now been erased. How do I install the system again

    Because I was having problems with my 2006 MBP 15 " - sudden freezing up,  I tried several ways of fixing it all  without success.
    Eventually, I was forced into erasing the 500 GB  harddrive completely using DU from the install disks (Tiger) that came with it
    and had hoped I could re-install the system afresh from the original disks.
    On start up all I get is the "Welcome page" again and it repeats itself continually. If i select any thing the spinning beach ball
    occurs and a forced shutdown is required.
    Everytime I do an install, I get to  a "welcome page" and go thru the usual entering of details etc.  but  every time after I get to
    clicking on "continue",  when setting up ownership/address,  I get a spinning beachball and can get no further.
    This  continually repeats itself and  If i select any thing the spinning beach ball occurs and a forced shutdown is required.
    I've tried starting up from an external drive with a firewire cable,  but again nothing constructive happens, but I do get a popup saying
    it can't find my "home folder as its not in the right place or its missing completely" 
    Using DU I have tried to do a restore but some how I'm unable to select either the source or the destination - its either all
    or nothing available in the side bar of DU.
    It seems to me that whatever I do on the MBP I get the spinning ball and no further - even leaving it for a couple of hours -
    and still spinning.
    Can anyone suggest ways of doing an install, please.
    Does it look terminalto you?

    The external drive is a bootable one done with SuperDuper.
    I am able to do a startup with it but then I get that window saying home folder is missing etc.
    Surely i should be able to install the Op/System using the original disks that came with it, or will they only work if there is something on the H/D  to start with. I completely erased it to start withj.
    I've just found an Install disk for Tiger I bought in 2006 - perhaps that might work or not.

  • How do I install Mavericks from the App Store if I erased my HD?

    My mbp has been acting funny and slow, and I think I may have had some corrupted files. I have my computer backed up to time machine, and additionally I saved all my important files, photos etc to the external HD before I began. Then I erased my HD. Everything I read indicated that since I had installed mavericks previously (and legitimately), I would be able to do so again from disk utility after I finished erasing the HD so long as I had a working Internet connection. Well, I do, but now when I click "Reinstall OS X" I get a screen with Mavericks and then an error message saying, "this is not a supported method of installing the operating system/ please run Install OS X Mavericks.app that you downloaded from the app store." But I erased my hard drive! I really don't want to use my time machine backup because I'm worried some of my files are corrupted, and wouldn't that just put me back in the exact same position?
    For the record, it's a late 2010 MBP that originally had Snow Leopard. My boyfriend upgraded it to Mavericks for me a few weeks ago.

    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    You  can then re-download Mavericks from the App Store.

  • Erasing all music from iTunes and starting over from an external hard drive

    Hello,
    I tried moving all my media to an external hard drive to make room on my MacBook Pro and just be able to run the media (ie music movies etc) from the external hard drive when it was connected.
    Well this backfired big time probably because I did not follow any sort of instructions.
    1st I backed up Finder > music > iTunes > iTunesMedia folder to two seperate external hard drives just in case.
    2nd I think (this was back in March 2013) I decided to cut/delete the folder Automatically Add to iTunes and moved it to one of my external hard drives (this folder for some reason contained mostly everythiing that was in the iTunes Media folder).
    3rd I finally decided to erase content from iTunes Media Folder
    4th I deleted the iTunes Media folder because I felt it was stupid to have a "iTunes Media folder" and "iTunes Music Folder" in the same place but not actually have anything in the iTunes Music folder (probably really stupid of me in retrospect)
    5th I unchecked the box under iTunes > Preferences > Advanced "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library"
    6th I believe I changed the location of "iTunes Media folder location" in the Advanced area under Preferences thinking this should be pointing to my external drive
    I then believe I tried to run iTunes and play my content, but when I did all it did was copy my music/media back to my MacBook Pro hard drive but I did not realize it was doing this until later the next day when I tried to play some music and realized I had 3 copies of everything in my iTunes program (ie music movies podcasts tv shows etc) however, I could play all three versions of whatever it was I selected there was no "error message" saying that iTunes could not located that file, would you like to try and locate.
    So I checked Finder to see if there were 3 copies of everything (by the way at this point I stopped connecting my external hard drive for the sake of making more copies on iTunes) but there wasn't??? So I tried to go through Option+View > Show Exact Duplicate Copies and delete all but one of the items. When I would delete them and it asked if I wanted to move them to my Trash Bin I clicked yes and all the 2nd and 3rd copies were gone!!! Yeah, so when I played those songs/movies that remained they would play!!!!!
    Than I realized that my Internal Hard Drive was almost full and went looking around for things I could delete to help make my MacBook run better, and realized that my Trash had a large amount of data in it and that emptying it would significantly reduce space on my Internal Hard Drive, but when I went back to iTunes and selected music or movies to play it placed the infamous "!" next to that track or movie and it could not locate those items anymore?
    Long long long story short hopefully, can anyone help me set up iTunes so that it only can play content/media off of my external drive and not take up space on my internal hard drive? Is this even possible to do that or will always start to copy those files from the external hard drive back onto the internal hard drive? and second is there anyway to use the Apple router external hard drive to use as the source for all my media?
    PS I am running Mac OS X Lion version 10.7.5 and iTunes 11.1.3 (8) 64-bit

    Hello,
    I tried moving all my media to an external hard drive to make room on my MacBook Pro and just be able to run the media (ie music movies etc) from the external hard drive when it was connected.
    Quit iTunes.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to the external. Don't only copy the iTunes media folder.
    Hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    This is all you need to do.
    Everything for iTunes (except the application) is on the external.
    2nd I think (this was back in March 2013) I decided to cut/delete the folder Automatically Add to iTunes and moved it to one of my external hard drives (this folder for some reason contained mostly everythiing that was in the iTunes Media folder).
    Make a shortcut to this folder on your desktop.
    Nothing should be in this folder. When you put a file here, it will get moved by iTunes and added to the library.
    The reason it had files in it is because you moved it.
