Simple way to make streight curve

Is there any simple way to do a STREIGH CURVE (I add this especially to this image to show you - blue line) when we have that 2 points? Imagine that I have that vector picture below. And I select this two point (everything is round). I want now to click and have that path going streight (like blue line). How to do that automaticaly?
Is there any?

Nooo, I don't understand what I will have to do it. But if we talk about this, maybe you can tell me how to do?
How to do it with Convert Anchor Point Tool excatly?
Mike wrote that click on a point to retreact both handles. When I even do that (both handles) I got this:
And like you see, it is still not a STREIGH LINE.
I don't want this, I want that. Red lines show you what I want:
Red lines I added after make a screenshot, only for your view.
But that effect I got after click in a point. Because I even can't select my handle.
What is a "handle", is a "path"? That you cald "handle"?I even can't click on path because I got this:
What says: "please chose the Convert Anchor Point Tool on control point of the path".
In different words: I can't understand Mike's method, so can you tell me what to do that Mike's methos work? This is not working for me but I am curious his way to do that. Thanks in advance.

How is the best way to make a curved line in keynote?

I have the new version of keynote but using the "curved line" in 'shapes' is not easy to make a symmetrical curved line. Can you suggest other simple ways to accomplish this?

Take the Draw a Shape tool and click in two spots. Press escape to stop drawing. Click one of the points, it will snap to horizontal. Now, take that line and move it towards the middle of the slide. It will snap to the center. Now, select the line so that it's in draw mode (points on either end are red), hold down option, and click the middle of the line to add a point. Double-click the point to make it a curved point. Hold down option and drag the curve handles (to make then equal length on both sides) then press Shift to make it snap to horizontal again.
Now, all you need to do is click the curve points while holding down shift and option to lengthen and shorten the curve points. Clicking directly on the point and moving it up and down (it should still snap to the guide line) and controlling the curve should give you a lot of flexibility. Will this do it for you?

Quick simple way to make something look isometric?

I'm working on a card game where I want to make my straight on designed cards look isometric. Does anyone have the quickest/simplest way to do this with the 3D tool in photoshop? I imagine it's something like Postcard, and then using the orthographic, with some angles set? I've had a try but can't get it right.
Thanks for any advice.

You may want to review the Wikipedia entry on isometric projection to get some inspiration regarding the numbers you seek:
Excerpts:
An isometric view of an object can be obtained by choosing the viewing direction in a way that the angles between the projection of the x, y, and z axes are all the same, or 120°. For example when taking a cube, this is done by first looking straight towards one face. Next the cube is rotated ±45° about the vertical axis, followed by a rotation of approximately ±35.264° (precisely arcsin(tan 30°) or arctan(sin 45°) ) about the horizontal axis. Note that with the cube (see image) the perimeter of the 2D drawing is a perfect regular hexagon: all the black lines are of equal length and all the cube's faces are the same area. There is isometric paper that can be placed under your normal piece of drawing paper as an aid.
In a similar way an isometric view can be obtained for example in a 3D scene editor. Starting with the camera aligned parallel to the floor and aligned to the coordinate axes, it is first rotated downwards around the horizontal axes by about 35.264° as above, and then rotated ±45° around the vertical axis.

[SOLVED] Simple way to make files available for download on my site?

It is my intention to keep the previous version of the kernel available on my website. Every now & then it will be very helpful to someone, when they need it & can't get it anywhere.
Could someone please give me instructions on how you do this?
I have set up FileZilla, & can access my space, I have made the simplest of pages, & I have permission from my ISP, so long as I don't make money out of it, I don't have to pay for the bandwidth.
Thanks in advance.
[Edit:]
I found out for myself that it is as easy as making a link to them.
[Edit:2]
Having asked some questions I got answers that make my keeping kernels on a server redundant. See Post_#2 in the following link:

I have it up, it currently has two copies of the tiny app' backlight which gives screen brightness control to Mac users with LCD screens, the 2nd copy is just filling in for the kernel.
Could someone tell me how to handle the permissions on the files that I put up, & should I when available also make the source available?

Is there a way to make iPhone speak what is displayed on the screen, with a simple click?

is there a way to make iPhone speak what is displayed on the screen, with a simple click? Instead of going through the Accessibility and VoiceOver feature. This will be very useful if I am driving, or tired of reading from the screen, or watching other stuff ... thanks

No.
What is available via Accessibility settings is it.

I would like to create a sine wave in Illustrator. How do I do this in a simple way?

Hi,
As the title suggest I would like to create a sine wave in illustrator. I know that applying the zig zag effect to a line and choosing "smooth" will create a cosine wave. But is there a simple way like that to create a sine way? Or any way at all?
Thanks for the help!
ekmanch

1. start with the zig zag effect
2. with the scissor tool cut where the ends of the red line is - I made the rest blue to make it clear
3. delete the blue segments to get this
4. using the black pointer or scale tool stretch horizontally to match the reference
5. using the white pointer select one of the smooth anchor points, and using the Scale tool and holding Shift drag to scale constraining horizontally until the curve matches the reference
6. select the other smooth point and with the scale tool selected press the Enter key on your keyboard twice to apply the previous scale
click the image to see it larger

Looking for a way to make a photo less than 100kb

I have all the 'considered best' photo apps for my Ipad3. I've read every manual, looked on the net, downloaded any trial photo sizer app I can find and have spent hours trying to do what I believe should be a no brainier but have not found a resolution to a simple problem.
I'm trying to find a way to make a photo a specific MB size. I post on a bulletin board that has a restriction of 100MB upload. There is a great app for Mac but ways to make a photo a specific file size doesn't seem to be available for the Ipad. After hours of searching I'm at a loss as to why there aren't any apps to do this.
A simple app with a slider or other that will give you the MB size as you move it would be great. Every app has a plethora of options and they still can't even do that.
Any suggestions?
Dan

Thanks sberman
That will work taking a few steps although I would think it's a last resort with fair results. Thanks again. While waiting for a response I decided to bite the bullet and purchase an app that looked promising. ( Don't like to purchase as I've purchased a number of .99 apps and wasted money )
So, I purchased this app called 'Resizer' not knowing if it would do the trick. It did! I even got a bonus as the app lets you upload to a photo site. From there it's a simple paste the link and I'm done. The app appears to have been made for the purpose of posting photos to BB's which is what I'm doing.
I was trying to get as close to the max size as I could as they have a weekly 'photo day' and wanted the best quality. That app did it.
Thanks again for the suggestion.

Is there a way to make the music that plays on my iPhone 5 sound like it does on iTunes?

I notices that the music that is played on iTunes sounds a lot clearer than it does when I listen to my music on my iPhone. Is there any way to make the music on my iPhone sound more clear?

Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs ? If not then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893 .
In terms of photos, then for those taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

Simple way to insert data from one table

Hi,
I need to know a simple way on how to transfer the data from one table to another....
First table xx_inv_tab1 has three columns col1, col2, col3 and where as second table xx_inv_tab2 has five columns col1, col2, col3, col4, col5.
Here col2, col3, col4 are the same columns as in table1 xx_inv_tab1...
Now I want to transfer first table data in to second table .... first column of second table holds a sequence, followed by the first table three columns data and followed with col4 and col5 which will hold NULL values....
In my scenario, I have 70 - 75 columns in my first table which I want to move to second table which three new columns (one is sequence and other two has null values)...
Any ideas if we make it in a simplest way rather saying insert into xx_inv_tab2 (col1, col2, col3 ............................................. col75) values (seq, col1, col2..........................col75, null, null)
Help Appreciated..
Thanks

Easy
untested
insert into xx_inv_tab2 t2 (col1,col2,col3,col4)
select yourSequence.nextval, t1.col1, t1.col2, t1.col3
from xx_inv_tab1 t1
;Note that col5 does not need to be used, since you want to fill it with NULL.
USe excel or sql developer to write you a list of column names, if you are to lazy to write all 75 columns by yourself.
What might also work:
untested
insert into xx_inv_tab2 t2
select yourSequence.nextval, t1.*, null
from xx_inv_tab1 t1

After duplicating a page, how do I prevent changes to both pages (without having to rename EVERY box for every duplicated page). I need a simple way to edit pages independently after I have duplicated one page several times. Thanks.

Its a form with 3 work history sections on it. I need to duplicate the page to include my entire work history, however, when I duplicate the page and then edit the new page to put my next 3 jobs in my work history, it edits the previous page as well.
THERE HAS TO BE A SIMPLE WAY TO DO THIS!!!!!

The way to do that is to make a Template object from the first page, which
allows you to spawn copies of it and to have the fields in those copies
automatically renamed.

Cool way to make a grab & drag scrolling image...

Just thought I'd share this.
I was trying to figure out a way to make an image that's wider than the page scrollable with grab and drag functionality to it, rather than using a scrollbar.
It's pretty simple actually. I just created a box the size of the page and then imported my jpeg (The jpeg is about 5x as wide as the page, but at 72 dpi the file size is very manageble). Then it was just a matter of selecting the box I created and the jpeg together and creating a Horizontal Slider out of it. It works great! Just assign the box as the track component and your image as the thumb.
You just need to make sure that the Snap Interval and Step Size in the properties panel are both set to "0" for it to scroll smoothly.
I was hoping there's be a way to add momentum to the scroll, simalar to kinetic scrolling on an iphone or something, but I haven't figured that out...yet.
If anyone knows how, that would be killer.
Either way, it's kind of a cool way to set up a gallery or a visual timeline.
This may be old news to some of you, but I thought I'd share anyways.
Cheers,
Ryan

THIS DOES NOT WORK IN PANINI. JUST CS5.

Need a simple way to view a professionally made DVD.

I'm new to Macs (2 weeks) after 13 years in Windows. I have a DVD a professional made for me for our 25th Wedding anniversary. I have been able to play it on my Windows notebook but it freezes after about 40 seconds on the Mac.
It starts with a still photo in which there is a small frame with script running. You click on it and the main series of photos and music start.
I copied the folders and files from the DVD to a folder on the Mac. There are two folders: AUDIO_TS (which is empty) and VIDEO_TS.
VIDEO_TS contains the following files: VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB, VTS010.BUP, VTS010.IFO, VTS011.VOB, VTS020.BUP, VTS020.IFO, and VTS021.VOB.
I purchased and installed QuickTime MPEG2. I can view the .VOB files, but there is no music and I can't make it run as a complete video.
I have absolutely no experience with any video editing and know nothing about handling these types of files.
I have a DVD that I can view on my Windows laptop and in a standard DVD/TV player. I was just hoping to be able to have it stored on my Mac and be able to view it.
Is there a simple way to accomplish this?

I'm new to Macs (2 weeks) after 13 years in Windows. I have a DVD a professional made for me for our 25th Wedding anniversary. I have been able to play it on my Windows notebook but it freezes after about 40 seconds on the Mac.This may be normal. It could be your Mac DVD Player simply doesn't like the disc brand or a dirty lens interrupting the continuous throughput.
I copied the folders and files from the DVD to a folder on the Mac. There are two folders: AUDIO_TS (which is empty) and VIDEO_TS.This is normal. The AUDIO_TS folder is just there for compatibility with earliest models of DVD players.
I purchased and installed QuickTime MPEG2. I can view the .VOB files, but there is no music and I can't make it run as a complete video.This is normal also. The QT MPEG-2 Component only supports the video portion of the VOB's MPEG-2 audio/video stream. While your Mac will now support MPEG2/MP2 (.mpeg) playback, your DVD likely contains an AC3 audio data which is not QT supported at all in "muxed" compression formats and only partially supported in "frame-to-frame" compression formats when a third-party component is installed.
I was just hoping to be able to have it stored on my Mac and be able to view it. Is there a simple way to accomplish this?You have three basic options here:
1) Since you have already copied the VIDEO_TS folder to your hard drive, you could try opening the Apple DVD Player, use the "Open DVD Media" File command to navigate to/select the VIDEO_TS folder. Then press the controller "Play" button to see if the content plays normally. (Since files are copied using handshaking error correction and data rereads, you may have a good playable copy of you disc saved already.
2) Since you can view the video in QT, I assume all you need to do is use an MPEG based third-party application to regain the audio. As you already have the QT MPEG-2 component installed, my preference would be MPEG Streamclip (free) here. You can use the "Convert to MPEG" File menu option to change your MPEG2/AC3 main title file to MPEG/MP2 (.mpeg) file which is playable on your Mac. This conversion is very fast since the video is not re-compressed. Alternatively, you can convert the main title to a more efficient codec which is compatible with your Mac and takes up less space. Unfortunately, this requires re-compression which may take much longer to accomplish. In either case, be sure to use the "Fix Timecode Breaks" option before performing either type of conversion.
3) Lastly, you can use an alternate media player like MPEG Streamclip or VLC for playback. Both will play the VOB AC3 audio, but only VLC has "device encoded" output support to an external decoder/powered speakers if your computer is equipped with such hardware.

___Is there a way to make this popcan? (Dieline-wise)

I'm trying to make a dieline for a very simple pop can to be cut from paperboard (thin card stock) (basically a cylinder with a top and bottom) - is there a way to make this, or would a dieline exist somewhere? - I could go more complex if it works... I'd imagine it's a relatively common thing... thanks in advance

ok, there, I did it
, and I in fact did pass 1st grade - what do you think?

The sample rate in my code is too low. Is there a way to make it run faster?

Dear Sir,
    I am a LabVIEW customer, and just have a question about LabVIEW.
    We are running a code of "Wirebonder Project", but find the sample rate is too low. I'm wondering if there is a way to make it run faster. (I have
attached the code here.)
   Thank you very much!
Yours Sincerely,

Hi Xian,
What system are you running this code on and are you using the LabVIEW Real-Time Module? There is a presentation online on Optimizing and Benchmarking Real-Time code with useful related links as well as other articles in the DevZone on things like Benchmarking an Application Using LabVIW Real-Time and DAQmx.
As you can see, this is not a simple question, so take a look at the information in these links and see if you can narrow down what in your code is running slowly and how much you might be able to improve the speed.

Simple way to connect Oracle 11g XE with MS SQL Server 2000

Is there a simple way to access SQL server database/ Tables within from Oracle 11g XE (Windows-32bit) on same machine. I am a novice so kindly keep it simple. Thanks

To connect to a SQL Server you need to use an Oracle product called Database gateway for ODBC which uses a 3rd party ODBC driver to connect to the SQL Server.
The easiest set up is to install DG4ODBC release 11.2 on the SQL Server. How to configure the Database Gateway for ODBC is described in note:
How to Configure DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on Windows 32bit to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install [Document 466225.1]
when you install DG4ODBC on a 32bit Windows operating system and the instructions for a 64bit Widnows operating system can be found in this note:
How to Configure DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on 64bit Windows Operating Systems to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install [Document 1266572.1]
The database gateway for ODBC is available for free from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
Please make sure you select the 32bit or 64bit Windows operating system depending on the platform where you've installed the SQL Server and on which you now install the gateway and download the <win32/64>_11gR2_gateways.zip CD.
Once downloaded, unzip it and install it using the Oracle Universal installer. Make sure you select the product Database Gateway for ODBC (there's also a dedicated SQL server gateway called Database Gateway for MS SQL Server - this gateway is NOT for free and it requires a separate license).
