Ruler Doesn't allow me to choose a "place" that's not a point on the ruler.

Hi,
I'm having an issue, I'm new to illustrator. I'm busy with an Image, now i could use trace, but learning how to use the illustrator tools etc.
The Question is, i have placed a Guide Line on the art-board ruler, its not on a point on the ruler (5cm, 6cm, 7cm), its mealy placed between the points, in other words, a point will be 5cm, 6cm, 7cm; I've placed the guide line on about 5,3cm. Now i cant seem to a-line the square image to the guide line placement, it goes directly to 5cm or 6cm but it doesnt want to be placed between that point, eg 5.1cm to 5.9cm
I would also like to mention, when i use the transform window, it skips 5.1cm to 5.9cm and only gives me ...5cm, 6cm or 7cm etc. It only a-lines to the points on the ruler and nothing in-between
Help will be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
AppleBottom

Thanks for the quick reply and for the advice. But its not working, it still doesn't a-line it correctly.
Yay see i can upload an image, see below.
The black square a-lines to the "tini grey lines on the ruler" and that's it , cant a-line it to the Guide line
Can the below be fixed?

  • Migration Assistant doesn't allow me to choose what drive.

    Well, I got my new computer. I tried to migrate a drive from my old computer using Migration Assistant. and it doesn't allow me to choose what drive.
    In my old computer I have 5 drives. The original HD (was 10GB, was replaced last year by a 40 GB) and on my Hitachi 250 GB drive that I added 2 years ago, there's a partition with 4 drives.
    I wanted to migrate one particular drive from there (called Current work).
    First I did a mistake. I connected both computer via the firewire in the afternoon when there was enough daylight so I don't have to do it later at night (the computers are under the table.) I thought it's OK since I'm not pushing any button yet ("migrate now", "transfer", and such).
    I turned on the new computer and a message appeared: you must restart.
    That's strange, I said to myself. it's a brand new computer. Usually It says that when there's a problem, but OK I restart and when it's back on, I see that my external drive (Neptune from OWC which was still hooked up in the old computer) is on the desktop. And it took just a few seconds. I open it and all the files, etc. are there. It did copy the whole external drive !
    I'm not an computer expert but I believe the Mac Pro did notice that's there's a firewire hooked up and then, without asking me, migrated the external drive and that's why it asked me to restart. I would have prefer if it tells me "restart so migration can begin".
    I don't mind for now that my external drive is on my new computer. I can always erase it if I don't want it. It is still external right ? so it doesn't intrude on the 640 GB of my HD so I just keep it.
    But it also copied/migrate Mac HD 40 GB which is full of OS 9 and I almost never use it anymore. I don't want it coz it has applications and they advise not to migrate applications (certainly not applications with issues).
    They say migrate folders, settings but re-install applications.
    And it migrated also another drive called "Scratch" which has only personal date no system, no software.
    Anyway, I erased everything and re-installed using the Install disk that came with the computer.
    BTW, what they say in the manual (p. 90: Re-installing the software that came with your Mac Pro) is different than what really happens.
    They say insert disk, double- click on Install and then click options in the "Select a destination" pane of the installer. Then click "erase and install" Problem is: there's no "Select a destination" pane. Or any options.
    I had to go to Disk utility and erase, then re-install OS X.
    Then re-install the applications using "Install applications" (the other disc that came with the computer. )
    OK, I did that. Then while everything is empty, new, I used Migration Assistant.
    Now here is the reason why I post this.
    They say hold T key until you see a firewire icon then select a drive. I can't see when there's an icon coz I have only one monitor, so I just hold and hold the T-key and turn on the old computer. The screen shows "waiting for you other computer to restart" 2 min.... 5 min... 7 min. Nothing happens. I stop holding.
    I look at the desktop and I see that the icon of the old 40 GIG Mac HD is there. (and I believe with a firewire logo, but not sure about that.)
    I have the impression that if I kept the T-key longer it would have migrate the other drives as well.
    They say keep the T-key down until you see the firewire (then let go I suppose. As I said I don't see what's going on on the desktop of my old computer so I kept the T-key for a few minutes. I also tried another time to let go after 1-2 min. No difference.
    I shut down the new comp. and the old computer screen appears automatically (both are connected to the monitor; the old with analog port, the new with digital port) and sure enough the firewire icon is moving on the screen.
    I go back to the new computer and put the old 40 GIG Mac HD in the trash. Actually, when it touched the trash, I just saw an eject icon and the drive disappear. Did not go in the trash which is empty. So I guess I ejected, not sure what's the difference but I looked for it to see if it's anywhere in the computer. Could not find it. Not in the HD, not in the desktop. Good, I don't want it there. Is it hidden somewhere ?
    So I tried again but wondering perhaps the old computer should RESTART not turn on (it was off) so now I wait until it's on, then push restart. I hear the gong when it shuts off but that's it, no other gong when it comes back. I keep the T-key. But nothing happened. Just see the message "waiting for your other computer to restart"
    PS: BTW Target mode (which seems to me similar to Migrating with "Migration Assistant") will not work for me because it must be SATA, mine is ATA.
    I didn't try but read that it has to be SATA.
    Is it the same ? In migrating they say hold down the T-key (T for target)
    And how come that my 40GB HD which is ATA did migrate (not that I wanted too but still).
    Also, this drive ("Current Work") that I want to migrate to the new computer is in my external drive. Can't I just drag it ? If it has only personal data, files and folders I know I can, but It has system (OS X) and applications. It's the one I use and boot on, in my old G4 but I want to transfer Files and folders and settings, so the new computer will know what are my Safari preferences, Automatic fill-in, and perhaps it will move my iTunes music Library too ?
    Basically everything except applications. Although I would like my Nikon scanner to be in the new computer as well as the LaCie DVD recorder but I guess I can do that later, separately ?
    What are the settings or info I need ? Because if it's just Safari preferences, automatic fill-in and other such small thing, it might be better to just do it again in the new comp and forget about the hassle of migrating.

    Try getting into Windows and then plugging in the Superdrive. The drive will only be attached to one OS or the other, not both.

    ...there are some that are mp3 and it will be extremely hard to pick them from the lot.
    Not true. Select "Kind" as a sort category by right clicking the headings
    Then click to sort by Kind
    If your Import Settings are for Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC or whatever the majority of your files are, convert MP3s to that file type.
    I've presently got 17,000+ files in my library, and they're ALL MP3 or M4B(Audiobooks). If they weren't when I got them, I converted them.  Saves a LOT of hassels with just this type of situation. Besides I have two non Apple MP3 players that WON'T work with other file types besides MP3 so, EVERYTHING I have has to be MP3.

    None of the FAQs (or the Community choices below) address new devices, they are all about APPS and iCloud stuff.

    If it is an existing iCloud ID, you should be able to just go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with it.

    Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • My Firefox doesn't allow me to choose to save passwords

    When I go into the "privacy" part of "Preferences", the check box and script which allows me to choose to save passwords is only in faint script and so is not functional. I am up to date with software downloads, at 33.02 and am using an Apple Mac of 2007 vintage.

    hello nickfork, firefox won't save your passwords when you've set it up to run in permanent private browsing mode ("never remember history" in the options > privacy panel).

  • Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account?

    Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only (not minutes, no extra charge) that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account?  Just for random local calling.

    Yup.
    Here is a way you could solve this by adding an extra column and a small lookup table:
    The lookup table is here for the copying:
    0
    1
    k
    kilo
    2
    M
    mega
    3
    G
    giga
    4
    T
    tera
    5
    P
    peta
    6
    E
    exa
    7
    Z
    zetta
    8
    Y
    yotta
    In table 8 (the one on the left in the image) column A is where the values are. 
    B1=A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
    this is shorthand for... select cell B1, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
    =A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
    select cell B1, copy,
    now select all the cells in column B, paste

  • Is there an extension that would allow me to choose Firefox profiles that contain different extensions and/or themes before startup (but using the same version of Firefox)

    I'm actually looking for an extension... I would like to run a barebones Firefox, a testing Firefox (a couple of addons), a loaded Firefox, and maybe Firefox with different themes. (''Is this part of what different profile does?'') And I would like to select which profile I would like when Firefox starts (and when I want to change my option I just restart Firefox)

    I don't think that you can do it as you want (restart Firefox with a different profile).<br />
    You will have to close Firefox and use the Profile Manager to choose another profile.

  • On plugging my iPod to the iMac, all the songs got deleted on the iPod. Now it doesn't sync to iTunes and it shows that 'mac os can't repair the device'. How can I get my iPod to start functioning normally again? Please help!

    Hey! I plugged my 80 gb ipod classic to my imac, but had to switch it off when itunes hung. The ipod wasn't switching on , and when it did, all the data, including all my songs were deleted. Now, when I try syncing it to the mac, it doesn't connect to the itunes and I keep getting an alert saying ' Mac osx can't repair the device'. Now, althought all the data is gone, the ipod still shows 30 gb free. What will happen if I partiton my ipod? How do I get it to start functioning again? Please help!

    Try a low level reformat of the iPod's hard drive to possibly try and repair some of its damage. Use the instructions in this article to walk you through the process.
