So, about this frame edge highlighting

So i jsut got CS%... and tripped out on the fra edge highlighting... I can't stand it. It's really annoying. I'm showing people
work on my screen, and I can't point an element out without it lighting up... distracting from the conversation as well as the aesthetic.
I understand there is a way to shut it off in preferences in CS5.5. But frankly, is see this as a mistake. I bug. It's in the way of a good application, and I DO NOT feel that I should pay for an upgrade to fix it. Come on Adobe... you're better than that.

Sorry it's all documented before. There's been a spate of FAQ recently and it's so tiring. I am usually more helpful.
I can't do anything about it. It's the way it works. Adobe won't refund you. It was documented in the What's New features before you bought it, so you have an expected knowledge of what you were buying.
Look, John is right. You need to switch to another tool.
I've never found an issue with this feature. I didn't even know it was always like that before it was posted. I actually find it more beneficial than a hinderence.
At the end of the day, it was a feature they added.
I can't believe they asked for a full upgrade price for a dot five release! (they did didn't they?)
Anyway - 5.5. doesn't do this. I'm not sure when CS6 is out. But you're better off waiting. If you can't wait then upgrade .Only solution.
Having a bad night. sorry for abruption earlier.

How to turn off frame edge highlighting in CS5?

Has anyone discovered how to turn off the frame edge highlighting on rollovers. I find this feature visually distracting and quite annoying as I'm moving around a page. Send advice, please. Thx.

Chief:
Sorry we got off track and didn't post the main workaround for Frame Edge Highlighting: Keep your hand on the spacebar.
This comes from Mike Rankin in the InDesign Magazine Tip of the Week in January:
TIP: Spring-Loaded Tools to the Rescue
InDesign tries very hard to help you align objects when you drag by snapping them Do you dislike the Frame Edge Highlighting that appears when you mouse over frames in CS5? Spring-loaded tools can help. Frame edge highlighting only appears when you use one of the selection tools. With spring-loaded tools, you can press and hold single keys to temporarily switch to any other tool. As long as you hold the key for more than a second, you'll switch back to your previous tool when you release the key. You have plenty of choices (t, \, p, f, m, n, c, e, g, z, etc).
Holding the spacebar also prevents the highlighting from appearing, and it's a nice big place for your fingers to rest. Heck, you don't even have to pay much attention to where you press--just rest your hand in the middle of the keyboard and lift it up when you want to select something. But don't hold v or a, which are the shortcuts for the selection tools.
- Mike Rankin
(Mike had suggests this several times in the past year, though not with the spacebar. E.g. he recommended 'H' back in June over on
InDesignSecrets. "H" for Hate).
There have been several threads on this, including the locked 201-post monster, Frame edge highlighting, and the feature request Allow Frame Edge Highlighting to be turned off, and frame edge highlights on hover.
Basically the takeaway is that it only happens with the selection (V) and direct selection (A) tools, and that multiple people have asked Adobe for a control to turn it off, and they've finally added one, but only in CS5.5, not in a CS5 maintenance release.

InDesign CS5.5 Addresses Frame Edge Highlighting and Saves Back to CS4

Two of the biggest complaints I've seen over the last year, the inability to turn off frame edge highlighting and only one version back save have have been addressed in CS5.5.
There's a new user preference to turn off the frame edge highlighting and the IDML export opens in CS5 and CS4. Technically, I guess that's only 1.5 versions but there's some hope going forward.
I've got my usual top new features article on my website: http://theindesignguy.com/cs5.5-thoughts.shtml and there's a write up at InDesign Secrets as well: http://indesignsecrets.com/indesign-cs-5-5-announced.php

the IDML export opens in CS5 and CS4. Technically, I guess that's only 1.5 versions but there's some hope going forward.
I think this is kind of an odd way of looking at it.
CS3 can't open CS5's interchange format not because Adobe tried to break compatibility, but because in CS4 a decision was made to revamp the interchange format (from INX to IDML, which is a much better file format), and CS3 could never read IDML. Yeah, there was a decision made not to support writing to INX in CS5, but that's fallout from other decisions.
It's not as if CS5 strips out CS5-specific information when writing to IDML, nor will CS5.5 strip out CS5.5-specific info when writing to IDML. (I don't have CS5.5, but I can 98% guarantee you that's the case). The interchange format is designed to be read by the version it was written in and give you the same document (otherwise roundtripping through IDML to fix corruption would fail, as would exporting to IDML to get the data into external XML tools). It's also hoped that older versions will be able to read it and to safely disregard unknown features.
We should expect that if IDML is truly a future-proof format, as was hoped for, then CS6, CS7, and CS8 (if we get there before Quark comes back!) will all write IDML files that CS4 will theoretically be able to read (wth lower and lower fidelity).
So it's a bit weird to give credit to CS5.5 for being able to write IDML files readable in CS4. That's an outcome from reasonable architectural design decisions made in CS4...

Frame edge highlighting

A new feature in InDesign CS5 is Frame edge highlighting. I find it quite annoying and can't find a way to disable it... anyone know how?

I've figured out that there is a specific function you can no longer perform due to this new "feature."
If you are trying to build a series of effects on an object, and creating the effect you're looking for requires multiple copies of the object stacked exactly on top of each other, in CS4 and earlier, you could build your "layers" of identical objects up and apply your styles as necessary, then select each object by clicking down under the top object and then shift clicking the top object and grouping them together as a single object.
An example of when you'd do this: you need a red box on top of an image, and you want it to be set to "multiply", but you also want it to be opaque, solid red at the top, and then fade down to the multiplied red with a gradient screen applied. As long as you limit your needs to two layers, and there is nothing else in the way, it will work. Add a third, (the yellow in my example) and you in CS4, this wasn't a problem. Just cmd-click down to the bottom layer, then group it to the middle one. Then group that group to the top object, ungroup them all twice, and then group one last time, and you have a single group of 3 objects. yes, that's a lot of "group" and "ungroup" but it's just basically 2 seconds of toggling back and forth with the keyboard shortcuts when you're used to doing it all the time. Thanks to the frame edge highlighting in CS5, this is no longer the possible..
In CS5, when you tunnel down through the stack, because the edges of the boxes you're working on in this situation are exactly overlaid with no hanging bits (such as circles), there is nothing for the frame edge highlighting to "see" of the top object, and so it won't select the top object in the stack when you shift-click on the stack.
see the attached screenshot.
There is no way to select the three circle layers and put them together as a group without laboriously selecting EVERYTHING and then unselecting things. If you cmd-click down to the bottom circle, and then attempt to shift-click the top layer, it will just deselect the entire stack. This is BROKEN, and in no way productive.
obviously in this example, the fastest thing to do would be select everything, and then deselect the background and the computer image. But in a complex layout, that wouldn't be practical or possible. I've had to start building my objects on the pasteboard, which can be pretty frustrating when you're dealing with something more complex than an empty circle.

I cannot highlight more than one e-mail. I am concerned about this when I am in the Junk mailbox. I do not want to open any e-mails that are in this mailbox.

I cannot highlight more than one e-mail. I am concerned about this when I am in the Junk mailbox. I do not want to open any e-mails that are in this mailbox.

Two thoughts:
1. You never need to open any emails in the junk mailbox. You can simply do Mailbox > Erase Junk Mail from Mail's menu.
2. What happens if you hold the shift key after highlighting the first in a series of emails, then click the second one with the shift key depressed? That should hightlight both.

I've checked my current plugins and it still shows Adobe Acrobat Version 7 for Netscape (7.0.9.50) I tried to do the update but I got an error - "Please tell Microsoft about this problem" "Send Error Report/ Don't Send".

ITunes states 95GB used but in about this mac storage says 124 for audio. Thats a big difference.

I am running out on space on my MacBook Pro. When I check my iTunes library it states 90.18 GB used but when I go into "About this Mac" under storage I see the audio space used is 124 GB. That's quite a difference - 34 GB. Does anyone know why the difference is so high?

Clone stamp tool blurs frame edge

I'm a newbie on After Effects, so please bear with me.
I'm trying to remove an electric wire that extends through frame, bisecting the bottom of frame and right edge. I'm using the clone stamp tool with "0" hardness and a 150pt brush, and the results are perfect. However, I have a problem I can't resolve. Because the wire extends "off frame", I start below frame with my brush and drag across the frame and off the right edge. The bottom is clean - but the right edge is "blurred" and no longer a straight edge.
Upon updating to Premiere Pro, the new comp shares that crooked edge.
How can I fully remove the wire and keep my nice straight frame edge?
Thank you.

After Effects CC updated. Here are screen shots. The shot is a body falling through frame. The camera pans, and in doing so reveals the wire. I had to "paint" the wire out frame by frame. This is the last frame (the body already gone). If you look on the right frame edge, above the midpoint, you can see where the frame "bulges" and "blurs". When the shot plays, as the cloned footage "travels" through frame, the "bulge" moves from bottom up along the edge. It's very noticeable. Oddly, there isn't the same issue with the bottom of frame - although I dragged with the clone stamp tool through that edge as well:

Why is my text frame edge showing when I print?

My text frame edge shows up sometimes when it overlaps another frame. It doesn't show up in the document when I am creating it, but it shows up when I print. It is not a solid line all around the frame, instead, it just shows up in small lines once in awhile. I have attached a picture showing the black dashed lines through the words "pow" and "baby. Please let me know what I should be doing differently!

Could be the printer (do the lines stay in the same place on every print? How about if you rotate the page 180?) or they could be transparency flattening artifacts, in which case exporting to PDF with live transparency and printing that might work better than printing direct from ID.

Does every body iPad 2 terrible???can apple do something about this??upgrade perhaps??

Does every body iPad 2 terrible???can apple do something about this??upgrade perhaps??

Kindly pardon my ignorance how one can send feed back to Apple? I am new to Apple devices. iPad2 is my first and only Apple device.
I looked at http://www.apple.com/ipad/built-in-apps/camera.html and felt the quality of camera is good enough for me (see one frame of the bicycle and the running girl) and was wondering what all internet sites are talking about bad mouthing about iPad2 camera??? At the end I felt above page is misleading. Apple says "an" HD camera and does not say which one front or back? Picture Frames which are shown in iPad2 on above link does not match quality of photos or video my iPad2 takes. Are those videos n photos really taken by ipad2 cameras? which one? front or back? if not taken by iPad2 cameras than what is the use of showing them on ipad2 camera Ad page? instead could show on ipad2 video playing capability Ad page.
Anyway, my question is are you folks getting such great quality (as in above link) from your ipad2 cameras? if so did you change some setting somewhere in iPad2? how can I improve quality of video and still images taken by my ipad2?

The "This Frame" context menu is missing

There are two users in question, both running Firefox 36.0.1 on Windows 7. When one user right clicks on a frame in a website, they have a "This Frame" context menu option, which cascades out to provide various actions you can take (Print This Frame, etc). The other user does not have that option. To the best of my knowledge, both users are running similar installs: the default collection of plug-ins that are enabled in our enterprise environment, they have not tweaked any settings in about:config, etc. Why would the "This Frame" context menu not be available for one of them? Is there any way to force it be enabled?

For what it's worth, when I use OWA, the message body in the reading pane is in an iframe and does have the This Frame menu.
Do you allow users to install extensions? To rule out the influence of extensions on the problem Firefox, you could have the user test in Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
He/she can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
Any difference?

Can't get info from "about This Mac"

I want to purchase a replacement battery for my Powerbook g4 15". For this I need the model #, which normally I can obtain by clicking on "About this mac" from the apple logo at the top of the screen. But not today.Absolutely nothing happens when I click it besides that it's highlighted in blue. I can get "Software Update", "System Preferences", "Dock", "Recent Items." I can surf the internet with Safari.
What is going on?
Is there another way to access this information?
Thank you....

Try logging out and back in.
If no joy, log out and back in as a different user, creating one if need be.

A Q about i-frame and p-frame

http://www.interactivetvweb.org/tutorial/mhp/javamedia.shtml
in this tutorial, at the end, it talks about i-frame and p-frame.
i have an xlet that will need to switch iframe backgrounds very often. this p-frame idea will save the memory.
so anyone has tried it?
can provide at least a pseudocode?

I have known how to display i-frame read from a one-frame-only m2v file, which is the epg.m2v in the code below.
but after this, i can't even switch to other channels, seems like machine is hanging, have to reboot.
i am asking what causes this and how to display a p-frame on top of the iframe.
my code is as below:
////////////////////////start***********************/////////////
scene.setVisible(true);
g = scene.getGraphics();
MediaLocator myLocator;
DripFeedDataSource dripSource=null;
Player player=null;
MediaLocator driplocator = new MediaLocator("dripfeed://");
try
dripSource = (DripFeedDataSource) Manager.createDataSource(driplocator);
player = Manager.createPlayer(dripSource);
catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e.toString());}
if (player != null){
player.realize();
player.prefetch();
player.start();
try {
int size,size1;
InputStream in = new FileInputStream("epg.m2v");
InputStream in1 = new FileInputStream("small.m2v");// trying p-frame
size = in.available();
size1 = in1.available();// size of p-frame
byte[] frame = new byte[size];
byte[] frame1 = new byte[size1];// array of p-frame
in.read(frame);
in1.read(frame1);//read p-frame
in.close();
in1.close();//close reading
if (dripSource != null)
dripSource.feed(frame);
Thread.sleep(3000);//as spec says don't feed again within 500ms
dripSource.feed(frame1);//feeding p-frame?
Thread.sleep(10000);
player.stop();//can this stop it? coz i can't switch channels any more
catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
////////////******************ends******************/////////
thanks

Catalyst Express 500 complains about undersize frames

Hi,
The exact switch model is WS-CE500-24PC.
It claims, that devices connected to its ports are generating undersize frames. The connected devices are IP phones with PCs. Moreover I've got messages about undersize frames on Gigabit ports, which are configured as GigaChannel and are connected to another WS-CE500-24PC. The interface counters are showing, that a lot of undersize frames are received, not send. I think, that such big count of undersize frames severely degrades the performance of the switch. Is there any way to diagnose this problem?
PS When the same endpoints are connected to a "normal" switch, like 2950 or 3500, there is no any problematic frames counted in the output of the "sh controllers ethernet-controller" command.
Thanks and regards,
Denis

When the switch receives a 60-63-byte dot.1q encapsulated frame, it counts it as an undersize frame, but it will forward the frame correctly. There is not workaround for this issue, since the problem is not in the switch, the switch is only reporting that it is receiving this frames in the interface, the frames are generated by the connected device and not by the switch. If you do not experience network connectivity issues in the interface reporting this issue I believe that the issue can be consider as a cosmetic.

My screen got bigger and when I move the mouse, the screen moves as well. What can I do about this?

My screen got bigger and when I move the mouse, the screen moves as well. What can I do about this?

Actually as Roam said, you can keypress, Option + command + 8
But i think wat you asking is that you dont want the screen mving when you move the mouse. Right?
For that you can, goto, System Preference -> Accessibility -> Zoom -> More Options...
Once you click more option, you'll get a window. Look at the bottom of the window for 3 options with bullet buttons. SELECT "ONLY WHEN THE POINTER REACHES AN EDGE" and click "DONE"
Viola!!! You're troubl's are over!!!

So, about this frame edge highlighting
