Text highlighter seems frozen in white

My text highlighter won't provide option other than white/not highlighted. Even opening a new doc doesn't allow for highlighting anymore. How can I restore my highlighting menu?

What  iMac is it and what version of OS X are you running?
Try an SMC reset: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603
If that doesn't help, try a Safe Boot: restart holding down the Shift key until you see a grey progress bar - you'll need to input your admin password during boot-up - and once booted, restart as normal from the Apple menu.

    IMac seems frozen in that following start-up, sun flower just keeps spinning on a blank screen (only Aplple logo on white screen).  Turning off and on not helpful.  Any ideas?

  • Hidding Button Text & Highlight Thumbnail

    I'm fairly new to DVDSP. I would like to create buttons that do not show the text and have the border highlighted when you mouse over (or use a DVD remote arrow buttons).
    I would like to create a chapter index template that I can use build a chapter index. The problem is my chapter names are really long and there is no reasonable way to show them. Thus, I want to eliminate the chapter name text from the buttons.
    The only way I have found to "get it done" seems to create the chapter index, then manually remove the button text for each button. To get the remaining button to highlight, I seem to have to choose a shape like "Picture Frame Rectangle White".
    I could deal with deleting the text, but I don't like any of the border highlight shapes that I have found as the ones that seem to both highlight AND show the still or motion are not what I'm looking for. Something like "L Shape Highlight" could work, if only it was programed to show still/motion.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    When you create a chapter index by dragging a track with markers onto a button on a template, hold it and select "Create Chapter Index" from the pop-menu then select a index template. If you use any of the Apple supplied templates, such as "Brush Index", it creates the appropriate index pages. Each index page has buttons to access the specific chapters. All the buttons on these index pages seem to include the chapter name (as set in the chapter marker) and most include a preview of the video starting at that chapter index.
    The chapter names I assigned are the names of the people in the video clip. When there are 2 or more names, it is too long to fit in the space allotted for the chapter title in the chapter index. It does not make sense in this context to name the chapters something short that could be displayed on the chapter index. Instead, I would like to tell DVD studio NOT to display the chapter names on the chapter index, thus only displaying the button with the video preview.
    The only way I found to prevent the text from showing is create the chapter index, then, delete all the text in each button, leaving only the preview.
    The problem with this approach is most of the button styles change the TEXT highlighting when the button is selected. When there is no text, you can not tell which button is selected.
    As a result not only do I want to turn off the text for the buttons, I also want to be able to have the a highlight show on the non-text portion of the button.
    Let me try to provide a visual for this: you look at the Apple Template "Brush Index". Remove the text from each button. Next, instead of having the text change color in the "Selected" and "Activated" show a colored border around the video preview when Selected or Activated. That's what I'm trying to do.
    I have not found a good way to accomplish this seemingly simple task in DVDSP using the Apple provided buttons and templates. Hopefully I'm missing something and there is an easy way to do this.
    NOTE - this is a trivial task in other programs (i.e. Nero Vision for Windows). The reason need to use DVDSP is this is the only application I have that supports multiple video angles.

  • Please change text highlight behavior

    The highlight behavior was changed from InDesign CS6 to InDesign CC wherein it previously "inverted" the text and background. So if the text was black on white, it became white on black. Further, what was behind the text was treated the same way. So if there was black text on top of a blue image, the text became white while the image became orange.
    This behavior worked and accounted for ANY combination of text and background.
    The new behavior is that the text is highlighted using your operating systems highlight color. The default color for OS X is a light blue.
    Thus if you have light grey or light blue text, it disappears into the highlight block. Even white text, which is very common in magazine and brochure design, becomes extremely hard to read.
    But the larger problem is created when working on a background. Whereas the background was previously inverted, it is now entirely covered. You can't see it anymore.
    I constantly have to do designs based on previous versions/designs. In some cases, a design was created in illustrator or photoshop and I have to recreate it in InDesign. This used to be pretty simple. I'd pull the old design in as a placed object, set it's opacity to 50% and put it on a locked layer. Then I'd rebuild it in InDesign. But with the text highlight behavior, this becomes virtually impossible. As soon as you select the text that you need to adjust to match the background, the background itself becomes invisible—covered up by a light blue highlight.
    I've included two images here to demonstrate the problem created by the new behavior.
    So my feature request is simple: Revert the text highlight behavior.

    I can't agreee more! We just updated all of our Production Macs to CC here and do much of the same work to client files when all we have is a reference PDF. We have to be able to re-set type to match exactly their previous designs and not being able to see that underlying PDF is a horrible drawback. There must be a way to make that highlight color transparent, even if it's a Preference to be changed.
    I will say the only passable way I've found so far, and it's far from ideal, is to place the original PDF, make sure Transaprent Background is selected and put it on a Layer above the new text items. Some caveats are, if there's anything in that PDF that obscures the new text frames it can be problematic, and you have to Lock that PDF layer or selecting items can be infuriating as well. NOT a solution, just a workaround at best.

  • How do i use the text highlighter on web pages

    I want to highlight some small print on a banking web page to email. The print is too small and will be missed if not highlighted. I have installed the text highlight add on in my tool bar but don't know how to use it.

    Hi Trease,
    Check to make sure that is it is not disabled in the about:addons page of your browser window.
    There are a few addons with that name, but I would also take a look at the description on its addons.mozilla.org page if you still have it.

  • How can I copy or print all text highlights in Adobe Reader for Android?

    I read many tech books as pdfs. And highlight the parts I want to note.
    Since I am now reading them on an Android Tablet using Adobe Reader for Android, I need to find a way to move my highlights to a separate doc when I am done reading. I don't see instructions for this anywhere.
    How can I copy all text highlights at once from a document?
    And / or
    How can I print all text highlights from a document?
    Thanks,
    ken

    Thanks.
    Kindle Reader will let me do that with Kindle books and docs that I buy from
    Amazon, but not with personal docs (such as pdfs) that I import, unfortunately.
    Is a VERY useful feature!

  • Text Highlighting issue with TextSnapshot object

    Hi,
    I am working with a digital book application. I make use of swf loader to load swf pages created from pdf. I use TextSnapsot to draw inline text highlight on the pages. The highlight is thoroughly retained on the respective pages throughout the session and later it can be updated/deleted without any problem. Everything was working great till I made the following changes in the swf loading approach to enable page caching:
    I am now loading swf loader object into application memory and while doing jumping from one page to other page I am just copying the content of the next page to the current swf loader which is on the display to the user. There are two sets of swf loaders - one for displaying the page and other to cache the next/previous page(s). On the caching side, I load the swf into application memory and after getting it loaded I pick all the contents of the loaded swf page (the children of it's movie clip) into an array collection. While changing the page I copy the cached content into the swf loader's movie clip which is displaying the page.
    Now when I highlight on the page on display and navigate back/forth from the page and comeback again to the page where I did the highlighting: It shows the highlight I did. But as soon as I try to draw another highlight on that page, the previous highlight is instantly disappears from the page.
    I suspect that the Textsnapshot object which draws highlight while navigating (to the target display page) is different from the one which redraws/update the highlight on the same page next time. Although the Textsnapshot object id for both the objects is same.
    Here are some code snippet:
    For copying the content from the swf loader object cached in application memory:
            private function copyPageContent():void
                var contentCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
                _pageContentVO = new PageContentVO();
                _pageContentVO.contentHeight = MovieClip(_swfPageLoader.content).height;
                _pageContentVO.contentWidth = MovieClip(_swfPageLoader.content).width;
                var count:int = MovieClip(_swfPageLoader.content).numChildren;               
                for(var i:int=0;i<count;i++)
                    var dispObject:DisplayObject = MovieClip(_swfPageLoader.content).removeChildAt(0);               
                    contentCollection.addItem(dispObject);
                _pageContentVO.pageContentCollection = contentCollection;
                _swfPageLoader = null;
    For copying the content to the swf loader which is displaying the page:
            private function copyContent(pageContentVo:PageContentVO):void
                for(var i:int = 0;i<pageContentVo.pageContentCollection.length;i++)
                    var dispObject:DisplayObject = pageContentVo.pageContentCollection.getItemAt(i) as DisplayObject;
                    MovieClip(this.content).addChild(dispObject);
                this.content.height = this.height;
                this.content.width = this.width;
    after this I dispatch swf loader's complete manually and in the handler of that event I take the text snap shot object.(highlightManager.as)
    Code I use to draw highlight manually(using mouse drag on the page).
           public function setHighlight():void
                removeAll();
                if(_textSnapShot!=null && _textSnapShot.getText(0,_textSnapShot.charCount)!="")
                    if(_isCoveredTextSelectedAtAnyInstance)
                        _textSnapShot.setSelected(_beginIndex,_endIndex+1,false); //this is the global variable to the class
                    else
                        _textSnapShot.setSelectColor(0xfff100);
                        _textSnapShot.setSelected(_beginIndex,_endIndex+1,true);
                    if(saveHighlight)
                        countHighlightedSegments();
    Code I use to redraw previously drawn highlight when I return to the page:
           public function showHighlights(textSnapShot:TextSnapshot,currentPageNum:int):void
                if(currentPageNum >= 0)
                    textSnapShot.setSelected(0,textSnapShot.charCount,false);
                    var pageVO:PageVO = _model.eBookVO.eBookPagesVO.getItemAt(currentPageNum) as PageVO;
                    var objColl:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
                    objColl.source = pageVO.highLightSelection;
                    for(var i:int=0;i<objColl.length;i++)
                        var highlightVO:HighlightVO = new HighlightVO();
                        highlightVO.beginIndex = objColl.getItemAt(i).beginIndex;
                        highlightVO.endIndex = objColl.getItemAt(i).endIndex;
                        setHighlightedSegment(textSnapShot,highlightVO.beginIndex,highlightVO.endIndex);
            private function setHighlightedSegment(textSnapShot:TextSnapshot,beginIndex:int,endIndex:int):void
                textSnapShot.setSelectColor(0xfff100);
                textSnapShot.setSelected(beginIndex,endIndex,true);
    Looking forward to your support to resolve this issue.

    Hi, I've resolved this issue.
    It was a textSnapShot GC issue.
    I just added the textsnapshot object into an array to avoid GC and that resolved my issue.

    How do you un-highlight text highlighted in error in Reader?
    Also How can you change the color of the highlighting?

    Yes i saw, but what i don't understand is that i don't see "Allow Page Breaks within Content" on my textfields :
    Maybe i am using an older version of livecycle.
    In an other order of idea, have you checked if the page was set to allow page breaks?

    While installing an update for my IPod touch 4g ( that I`ve had for around over a year )
    and turned it off while it was " updating " . I turned it on a while after ,
    and it was on the apple symbol and then suddenly went to the white screen with the green ,
    white and yellow lines from top to bottom . I`ve waited around 2 and a half hours for it to go back .
    I`ve tried to connect it to itunes , but won`t connect nor effect the ipod screen .
    I`ve also tried the on and off button held and holding the home button as well .
    Nothing is working and I`m begging to worry .  it's my baby sister's ipod and she's crying already she doesn't know

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
