Text put into a canvas element with context.fillText() always has a black box where each letter goes. If the text is black you just see the black rectangle. If the text is not black you see it on the black bounding box. Surely this is not right.

This has happened on the last few versions of firefox, as long as canvas has been supported. I see other people's screen shots from canvas tutorials, and the text always looks normal. On my system, any text put into a canvas element via context.fillText() will have a black bounding box for each letter, sized appropriately for the letter. If the text is black, of course you only see rectangles. If the text is a contrasting color, then you can read it, but it looks bizarre.

Thomas...same kind of crap here.
I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
Set to 72 pt.
The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
Using Transform will not sort it!

    My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

    By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
    If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
    I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

  • •Install Photoshop Elements with an account that has administrative privileges

    I will be upgrading to photoshop elements 12 and read that it was necessary to install photoshop elements with an account that has administrative privileges.  I'm not sure how to do this.

    There is no problem with any of the PSE versions.  I have used version 10, version 11 and version 12 in trial mode and I didn't see any problems with any of them.
    Your case is unique in that you have only one user account on the machine and so by default that account has all the privileges of an Administrator.
    also, you don't need to uninstall anything;  Version 10 and version 12 can work from your one machine.  they are installed on separate folders so don't worry about having old version on your machine.
    Just go ahead and install version 12.  You can download a trial version of PSE12 and it has all the features and functions of the boxed version that you can buy from Amazon or some big name stores.  After installing the trial version, you can use it for 30 days and by that time you will have made up your mind whether 12 is better for your need.  If you like it, all you need to do is to buy the boxed version and use the serial number to activate what is already on your machine.  You don't need to re-install it using the DVDs in the box.
    Hope this helps.

    Read: iPad Troubleshooting Assistant
    That procedure eventually leads you to the need to restore it.
    Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. Be patient since it sometimes takes several of these attempts before you are successful.
    If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links. 
    Select the iPad in iTunes and choose "restore from backup". This assumes you have a backup. If you do not, you will have to download all your purchased iTunes content again. You do not have to pay for anything you already purchased.
    If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

  • I use Yahoo mail on my Ipad 2 but I cannot see how to access my contacts. Other sites say I have to use Itunes. Surely this should not be necessary.

    other message boards say I have to use ITunes . Surely this is not necessary. Why is there not a tab visible on the Yahoo mail screen as there is on my windows PC?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition.  I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?

    I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition.  I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?

    No easy fix for a few reasons:
    1) Bootcamp requires a hybrid MBR for the partition table. That is: both an MBR and a GPT partition table at the same time with the GPT one having all partitions and the MBR one having only the ones that are relevant, but at most 4 of them (including the protective partition and the Macintosh HD one). Which leads us to:
    2) The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
    I am working on a small EFI app that can boot Windows in EFI mode on a Mac and that would mean that you can go GPT only on your system. The progress of the app is slow due to the nature of EFI and for now requires that you do an unattended Windows install with slipstreamed graphics drivers, but we are adding VGA loading on top of EFI quite soon after the rest of the app stabilises. The status of the app is documented at:
    Win7 x64 booting natively via EFI (no bios emulation)
    Windows does actually successfully boot in EFI mode on most Macs (anything with a 64bit EFI should work), but does not have graphics support even if you load the driver due to the VGA pci registers not being set by the firmware. Furthermore, in Setup and Safe Mode, Windows uses VGA instead of GOP which is a failure by design since VGA is a BIOS standard and not really compatible without hacks with EFI. Other EFI implementations also add VGA compatibility at a high cost to the firmware complexity for the VGA cards available on the market that don't actually contain anything in their ROM except the VGA BIOS.
    My recomendations:
    1) Install on a second smaller hard-drive; or
    2) Wait for the EFI app to come out officially and use that to boot Windows Vista SP1 x64 and Windows 7 x64 (RTM and SP1) in the native EFI mode.
    3) Wait for Windows 8 which supports VGA-less booting acording to the AMD presentation at UEFI Plugfest.

    If T-Mobile in the US, while your phone will activate/work, you won't have FaceTime, MMS or 3G. T-Mobile, in the US, is not a supported iPhone carrier, thus all features of the iPhone may not be available. T-Mobile's 3G network, in the US, is not compatible with the iPhone.

  • InDesign CS4 - saving as PDF, text has faint boxes behind each letter.

    I can't figure out why when I save or export my document as a PDF the text doesn't show correctly.  What happens is the letters have small boxes behind each one and some of the letters are just outlines. 
    I checked and the font I'm using has been installed correctly in the system.
    Attached is an image showing the problem.  It shows up in the smaller text, not the large bold text.
    Any ideas how to fix this??
    Thanks
    This is the document with the text problems:
    This is what is should look like:

    Finally found the troublemaker!!! You were right. I deleted all links, and it exported the PDF just fine. I went back and tried deleting single links at a time and found the one that, when deleted, everything else exported to PDF just fine. I opened that JPEG in Photoshop and cropped it to the exact size I needed, since I hadn't done this before, resaved under a new name, put it back in my InDesign file and everything just exported beautifully.
    HUUUUGE sigh of relief over here. THANK YOU!
    And next time I will bypass the wasted morning of pulling out hair and running in circles, and just come straight here.

  • How to bind UI Element with Context Node Attribute Element

    Hi,
    I'm building my view dynamically in the wdDoModifyView method.
    Is it possible to bind a "TextView" element to a specific element of an attribute node?
    Scenario:
    Node_Employees
    |
    +- Attribute_Code
    |
    +- Attribute_Name
    Node Contents:
    Employees
    |
    +- Code: 1, Name: Employee 1
    |
    +- Code: 2, Name: Employee 2
    |
    +- Code: 3, Name: Employee 3
    I need to do something like binding a TextView UI element to the "Name" attribute of the element #2, what would result to show "Employee 2" on my view.
    How can I do this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Geraldo.

    Hi Saravanan,
    First I populate the context node and it won't change during view's lifecycle.  After that, I build my view and bind the TextView UI elements to the node context attributes elements.
    If the node has 10 elements, I will build 10 TextView UI elements and bind them to each attribute element.
    Regards,
    Geraldo Brígido.

  • Any element with JAXB are always empty

    Hi guys!
    I'm trying to use the any element to specify some content for my web service. My XML schema contains this:
    <complexType name="casObject">
      <sequence>
        <element name="type"     type="string"/>
        <element name="key"          type="long"     nillable="true" />
        <any namespace="##targetNamespace" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" processContents="lax"/>
      </sequence>
    </complexType>I'm using jaxb 1.6 and it provides a method to get my any elements. In my example: List fieldList = casObject.getAny();
    The schema validation doesn't complain, the logging interceptor shows that the additional elements (from any element) are transfered, but the list is always empty. Any idea why this list is always empty?
    I've also have a question to the xsi:type element and jaxb in the web service forum called "missing xsi:type", maybe it it fits better in this forum. Please take a look.

    Hi Achim,
    According to my knowledge, there are no known problems with a "required Extended Protection" / "Always On" / "Livelink Server" combination.
    Extended Protection helps to prevent an authentication relay attack by using service binding and channel binding. We need to note that when Extended Protection is set to
    Required, only connections from protected applications on protected operating systems are accepted. This setting is the most secure but connections from operating systems or applications that do not support Extended Protection will not be able
    to connect to SQL Server. For more details, please review the following article.
