Searching for existing color palettes in "Color Themes" Illustrator

Unable to seach existing themes in Color Themes panel Illustrator CC. Do I need to somehow save "All themes" from Adobe Color CC?

Hi Diana
Make sure that you are signed in to the CC profile thru the Illustrator preferences. Once you create the themes on the Adobe color site. You should see the themes load into the Theme palette.
Try resetting the preferences to see if that helps. Also try signing out and sign back in to the profile to trigger the themes to sync

I get banners messages that updates are available, but when it searches for updates it can't find them

I get banners messages that updates are available, but when the App Stroe applications searches for updates it can't find them and says that: no uodates are available. I had to download both the MAC OS10.8.1 and MAC OS10.8.2 manually from the Apple website.

I'm searching for a witch or scary menu theme... any ideas?

I'm making a DVD for a school musical about a friendly witch. I need an iDVD theme that is witchy, and if not that, then maybe something ghost-like, haunted, mysterious etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

.. just played around for 10min....:
1) get a spooky picture, I searched for 'Psycho' ....
2) import to iM; add 'flash', add 'rain' under effects... looks like this:
3) export as QT/Full Quality
4) searched at http://www.dafont.com/search.php?psize=m&q=blood for a 'bloody' font... installed a free one...
5) in iDVD, drop (1) the iM export into the background-preview-icon/stamp..
6) use a 'cranky' button (2), use the installed font for lettering, use Red as color...
.......... boom! done... spooooooky.. ;))
PS: the background is an animation! rain, flashes... you could additionally add a spooky music, spice it up with thunder, growls, #eeeeks', whatever...

Color Palette custom color deployment

Hello,
I'm using Forms 9.0.4. I created a custom color called 'tooltext' in the default color palette. Then I created a Visual Attribute called TOOLTIP_VA that used 'tooltext' as its background. Finally I set the Visual Attribute for some of my Tooltips to TOOLTIP_VA.
Now when I run this in Forms Builder the tooltip colors come up OK. I transferred my FMB file to the Linux formserver and compiled it there to FMX. When I run this form it works too. So I was assuming that somehow the RGB for my custom color is encoded in the FMB file. Is that right?
I acually expected this not to work (I didn't expect the RGB to be stored in the FMB). Curiously enough when I convert the FMB to XML the RGB for 'tooltext' is NOT in the XML file. However the string 'tooltext' is in the XML file. What's up with that? Does the FMB have the actual RGB values for 'tooltext'? If not, how is it getting the color correctly when I deploy to the forms server? I'm not deploying any PAL file, just the FMB.

Forms .fmb files contain a color pallette. If you create a new form, and put nothing in it, then save it, it will be at least 32k. If you edit it with a generic text editor, you will see lots of sequences of rgb numbers.
It is pretty strange that Forms stores the color palette -- completely unnecessary, I would think. Seems like they could just store the rgb sequence of your custom color rather than store the whole palette. I wish they would remove the color palette from the fmb, because there are other bugs related to colors caused by the reliance of a color pallette.

GREP search for \$ Dollar sign doesn't find them all?

Hello,
OK-I was practicing my GREP yesterday and was working with escaping out characters. Since the $ could not be found, I assumed it needed to be escaped out \$. The odd thing is, when I say find next, it skips many of them in the document?
Anyone know why?
thanks!
babs

This has been reported before; it's an oddity of ID's implementation of GREP. Nobody knows why! (*)
It only works reliably when you do not use the escape code \$ (you were, in fact, correct to try that first!), but instead use the Unicode notation for a dollar sign: \x{0024}.
I've noticed some strange GREP-related behavior myself: at times, it seems "Find Next" can skip a *huge* quantity of text and finds something near the end of the file; but a next "Find Next" mysteriously jumps back to the previous find position, and continues from there as if nothing happened.
(*) I'm pretty sure it's the Adobe engineers that are responsible for this. According to Peter Kahrel, Adobe didn't write the GREP module by themselves but chose to use a free programming library called "boost". Now boost is an extremely thorough piece of work that has gone through literally years of development and dozens, if not hundreds of programmers (probably unpaid as well, since boost is open source), and I cannot imagine something like this to slip through unnoticed.
But ... for InDesign, the Adobe programmers had to add code to cater for InDesign's own special characters and codes -- stuff like the special characters and spaces, and text variables. It's not hard to imagine a programmer accidentally changing a line of code that did the, erm, "now search for \$" stuff.

Searched for driver updates - do I need them all? Qosmio G30-175

Hello people, new Toshiba user here.
Last week I bought a Qosmio G30-175. After a Bluetooth installation problem everything is fine.
I updated BIOS today to v1.70 (even though the Windows version wouldn't work)!
I thought I would do a search for any driver updates and I find that 86 updates appear!!!
Could somebody tell me whether all these updates are merely available for use, or does my particular laptop require all these updates?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
What?? 86 drivers??
Are you sure? I have checked the Toshiba driver page of Qosmio G30-175 (PQG30E) and found only 50 drivers for Windows XP MCE.
But the list of 50 drivers contains double entries! For example there are 2 BIOS, 2 LAN drivers, different modem drivers, etc listed.
You should install only the drivers and utilities which are listening in the Installation instruction document. This guide line is important and you should follow this guide line if you install the Toshiba drivers manually.
You will find the document also in the driver section

Searching for existing scripts..

I have a question.when I open some application's folder (for example garageband)
there is no existing scripts,does that means that some scriptable applications don't have any existing scripts that I can edit?
I saw many sample scripts in some folder somewhere in scripteditor ,but they were few..aren't there many existing scripts of scriptable applications?
Message was edited by: rumencho

The Scripts Menu (when enabled) will place an item in the menu bar that can be used to execute various scripts, but it needs to be set up for the scripts that you want to use. Not all applications will have utility or example scripts, although there are some examples included with the system (for example, in /Library/Scripts/). An application's scripting dictionary, if there is one (open the dictionary from the Script Editor), documents the various script definitions for it, and searching these forums or via Google can provide additional example scripts. There are also several scripting websites, such as http://macscripter.net/ .

HT204368 4S searching for Bluetooth devices but not finding them?

Hi I have just bought a second hand Iphone 4S from a company online and I am trying to get Bluetooth headset paired.
I have turned the Bluetooth off and on, and the headset - I have put the bluetooth function on my other work phone a Blackberry and the iPhone is not finding them - it just keeps searching?
Tried to pair from the Blackberry and it would not work either
Can anyone suggest anything?
thanks

Stop trying. The iPhone Bluetooth does not include the necessary protocols to pair with another phone. The headset on the other hand should be OK.

Flash 5.5 on Lion crashing when choosing a color from color palette?

When coloring an animation, Flash crashes on me every 3 minutes or so, when picking a color with color picker (first displaying wrong color). Or when choosing a color from color palette or color popup in a tool. It sometimes works, but often crashes when doing one of these things.
Is there a fix for this i didn't find?

Unable to view color palette properly in Oracle Reports 9i

I am using Oracle Reports 9iAS. But in the Report Editor, I am not able to view colors in the color palette. Colors are there in the palette(because when I point the mouse over any cell, it will display the color name in the status bar).
What can be the possible reason? If any one is having any idea, please reply.

Hi Rony,
What Reports version are you using (eg, 9.0.2.0.0)? Since you are running the Report Builder, please specify the iDS version, and not the iAS version. Also, what Operating System are you running on?

Can you use Find/Change to search for many different words at once?

I have an 80 page catalogue in Indesign (CS5) - it has several thousands of catalogue numbers listed as text within it. I've just been given a list of 1000 catalogue numbers to search for and if they appear, remove them - is there any way to search for them all in one go, rather than one by one?
I've started using Find/Change to search for the catalogue numbers but seem to only be able to search one catalogue number at a time that way.
Any ideas welcome!
Thanks

GREP can search for more than one phrase "at once" (i.e., in one operation), like this:
word1|word2|word3
-- the pipe | delimits the separate words. Then again, GREP Is Not Magic™. This --
... a list of 1000 catalogue numbers to search for ...
is a bit too much to copy-and-paste into the single Find What line. There is a limit of ten or twelve (or something) OR phrases you can use in GREP.
On the other hand: GREP is great at finding numbers. If all of your catalogue numbers obey some basic rule, for instance "all of them consist of 6 digits and there are no other numbers with exactly 6 digits", well, that we can probably work with.

Check existens of Property in KM or search for KM property

Hi all,
Does anybody know how I can search for existing KM properties?
Or check if a KM Property does already exist in KM?
Thanks
Ismail

Hi,
Use IQueryExpression for searching based on property values
ICollection start = (ICollection)factory.getResource(u2033/documentsu2033, context);
IGenericQueryFactory queryFactory = GenericQueryFactory.getInstance();
IQueryBuilder queryBldr = queryFactory.getQueryBuilder();
IQueryExpression queryExpr =
queryBldr.like(PropertyName.createContentType(), u2033%.jpgu2033).or(
queryBldr.like(PropertyName.createContentType(), u2033%.gifu2033).and(
queryBld.eq(PropertyName.createCreatedBy(), u2033adminu2033)
IGenericQuery query = queryFactory.toGenericQuery(queryExpr);
IResourceList result = query.execute(
start, // the resource to start at
Integer.MAX_VALUE, // maximum depth
Integer.MAX_VALUE, // maximum result size
false // donu2019t include versions
ICollection start = (ICollection)factory.getResource(u2033/documentsu2033, context);
IRepositoryManager repositoryMgr = start.getRepositoryManager();
IPropertySearchManager searchMgr = repositoryMgr.getPropertySearchManager(start);
IQueryBuilder queryBldr = searchMgr.getQueryBuilder();
IQueryExpression queryExpr =
queryBldr.like(PropertyName.createContentType(), u2033%.jpgu2033).or(
queryBldr.like(PropertyName.createContentType(), u2033%.gifu2033).and(
queryBld.eq(PropertyName.createCreatedBy(), u2033adminu2033)
IResourceList result = searchMgr.execute(
queryExpr, // the WHERE clause
start, // the resource to start at
Integer.MAX_VALUE, // maximum depth
Integer.MAX_VALUE, // maximum result size
false // donu2019t include versions

Automatic search for new songs on harddrive

I have other mp3 songs on my computer that are not in my i tunes library, i want to add about 300 other songs but the only way i have found that i can do that is to add the songs 3 at a time. how can i make itunes search for existing mp3s on my hard drive like it did when i first installed itunes

The Finder can do this for you.
Just open a Finder window and hit Command-F
Then, in the search bar set the 'Kind' to 'Movie'.
Done. It'll find all the movie files on your disk which you can then organize as you see fit.

Search for Main Group Not all Subgroup

Search for Main Group Not all Subgroup
My illustrator project may have 5 main groups, which may all included 100 subgroups. I would like to search for main group without having to search through all subgroup, because too many and too long for the script.
For the moment I have given a name to all Main group but the process is much too long.

tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
                   activate

                          repeat with i from 1 to groupCount
                                                set selection of current document to {}
                                                set groupRef to group item i of current document

                                                if (groupName contains "MainGroup") then
                                                                                      set selected of (groupRef) to true
                                                  display dialog groupName
                                                                    end if
                          end repeat -- with groupCounter from 1 to groupCounter
end tell

I don't do AS but this seems to be the culprit
set groupCount to count group items in current document
count your groups in the current "Layer" to narrow it down to main groups only, groups within groups will be ignored.

How can i search for a color that is not in the color palette? (CS 5.5)

I have a client, that has used a certain color in a series of textfields throughout the document.
The color consists of all 4 CMYK colors and needs to be just Keycolor. However the color is not in the swatches menu, so marking it there and changing it won't work. I have downloaded a script that might have worked, but it could only find colors that were in the swatches palette. (Find / Change by Color / Overprint" version 1.2).
Ofcourse, creating a similar color and adding it to the swatches doesn't work.
Is there anyway that i can search for the color or does it really have to be done manually.
Best regards

You can only search for real, actually existing swatches. No sweat: use "Add Unnamed Colors" in the Swatch panel dropdown menu to get a list of all of the manually applied colors.
Since you want to change all of them to the same color, you don't even have to use Search/Replace. Simply delete the new colors and select the one you need in the "Replace With" dialog that appears.
