The feature that i need most...do not activate paths with pen tool

If you have to add one thing in illustrator...
Make optional NOT to add new paths to an unselected anchor point with the pen tool.
I never want to activate paths with the pen tool
Arrow tool=select
Pen tool= add new points
If i want to add new segments to a path, i'd select it first a selection tool.
To my knowledge, Illustrator is the only vector application that doesn't follow this convention
In theory,activating the paths with the pen tool should speed the drawing: However when working with illustrations that combine open and closed paths, or if we want to start a new line from an anchor point,  we have to lock, unlock or put in layers in order to avoid to activate unselected paths:
That's very slow and frustrating, specially when in other apps, you can create complex illustrations in just one layer and with no lock/unlock due a more precise control over the paths.
I have mentioned this feature before, but every time i face a project with a mix of open and closed paths, is a major problem
Please change this behaviour or at least, make it optional.

Yes, it has to be removed in two places and someone who has the authority might take action upon my mentioning it again.
Here is a link on syncing -  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386nHave a read. Someone who uses the Books tab often might give you a step by step guide. Meanwhile, you can email yourself a PDF to keep you going. If it is a one page PDF it will be shown as opened in the email on your iPad. Press on the centre of it to save it to ibooks.If it is more than one page it will be shown as an icon; press on it for the prompt where to open it and choose iBooks, or whatever. I use Goodreader as it has a superior file management system. It costs very little.
Here is the  link fo the iPad User Guide should you not already have it. You can download it to iBooks - http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

    I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
    If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
    Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
    Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
    Do cleanup.
    Be well...

  • It seems like some of the features that I want to use are not available  in MUSE like in browser editing?

    I decide to use Business Catalyst for hosting because it came with my CC membership, However it seems that some of the main things I wanted to do might not be available or can only be used for additional membership fees.  I wish that this was more clear beforehand!  I am happy with the built in things but I am a little disappointed in finding out some of the features that I wanted to use, such as in browser editing might not even be available at all as long as I use MUSE.  Managing customers using secure zones, and some other page level sign in forms seem to be not available also
    Is this correct, if so what other limits can I expect?

    People do fumble their way through going into the BC developer code editor online to do layouts etc and then to Muse and back but Muse only covers basic modules and templates. Not all the tag's, layouts, tag features and the guts of what being a web developer/designer is.
    So you can go so far, but then you will hit a wall like everyone does with Muse.
    Muse is not designed to do everything out there to make a site, it Cant, those sorts of tools from frontpage to Muse can only take you so far.
    I can not just go build a house with the tools from the big depot. They may all do the job, but I do not have the knowledge or the plans to do so.

  • My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

    Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone?  I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

  • I have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

    i have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

    This is not my problem. However, I think it may be related to an old speaker. I was using the 30 pin adapter for about a week after the upgrade to 7.1.2. But I think with the update the speaker won't work anymore. I will try with a new speaker system. Thank you for trying to assist.

  • I just installed 10.2.2. When I tried to start iTunes, I got the message that Rosetta needed to be installed to open iTunes. It downloaded and installed Rosetta but iTunes will not open and it no longer has the iTunes icon. What do I do now?

    I installed iTunes 10.2.2. When I tried to open it, I got the message that iTunes needs to install Rosetta to open. It then appeared to download and and install Rosetta. When I try to open iTunes, the icon bounces but iTunes does not open. The icon has also changed from the usual iTunes icon. What do I do now?

    I have a 2010 MBP15 which I do not use as much as my pc. When I do, I check for updates and I believe I updated iTunes to 10.2.2 a week or so ago. Since I still use iTunes primarily on my pc, I didn't bother firing up the updated iTunes on the mac.
    Last week, when I actually started iTunes on the mac, I got the message that Rosetta needed to be installed. Like abefighter I stalled. I surfed the net, read this thread to get some hints as to w** was going on.
    When I checked the system profile in the mac, I think it showed PowerPC for 'kind.' Surfing the Internet I found out Rosetta was something needed to help applications work on PowerPCs. But wait, since this MBP is an Intel, why would or should it be asking me for some stone-age plug-in that was never mentioned in all the previous updates for iTunes until now? Fyi, the iTunes icon on the dock had changed to what I think is an AppleWorks icon.
    So, I assumed that the update that resulted in my mac was corrupted. At first I scoured for 10.2.1, thinking that the last version was a dud, but in vain, nowhere to be found. I gave up and settled for a fresh 10.2.2. I did a casual delete, without touching any of the related personal preference files in my folder and it now which works fine. I'm glad I didn't jump to install Rosetta; I read elsewhere about someone who actually went through with the Rosetta install that resulted unhappily.
    Unless the mac in question is a PowerPC, I would doubt the need for Rosetta installation.

  • Poor network speed with 1st generation time capsule and multiple airport express 5Ghz. My network speed slows to a crawl when not close to the time capsule. I get the range that I need, but the speed is painfully slow.

    Hello,
    I have a first generation time capsule running 802.11n (b/g compatable) and the airport expresse's are the newer 5ghz models. I have 3 airport express's and I have the range that I need. I can run the time capsule using 802.11n 5ghz, but I loose the range and can't connect to all of the airport express's. My computers and mobile devices run 802.11n. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to increase the network speed. Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
    Thank you

    Unfortunately, you are experiencing one of the downsides to 5 GHz. That's because the higher frequency 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals.
    After all, you always have to give up something to gain something else. In the case of 5 GHz, you gain potential speed but in return, you must give up penetration power and distance capability.
    In order to work well, 5 GHz signals need to almost have a line-of-sight relationship between devices. Unless you can achieve this, you will do much better to leave the Time Capsule running at the 802.11n (b/g compatible) 2.4 GHz Radio Mode and allow the Express devices to "extend" that network.
    As for the location of the AirPort Express devices in an exended network, that is critical for best performance. That's because the Express can only "extend" the quality and bandwidth of the signal that it receives. Post back if you need a few more tips on how to find the best location for the AirPort Express devices.
    Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
    Unfortunately, no.

  • Eventlog Forwarding Issues - Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted.....

    Hello all,
    OK so I do have Event Forwarding working - but I've noticed that when it's first configured I get messages similar to:
    The description for Event ID 104 from source Microsoft-Windows-Eventlog cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on
    the local computer.
    If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
    The following information was included with the event:
    The locale specific resource for the desired message is not present
    If I alter the subscription (wecutil ss subname /cf:events) the forwarded events are rendered correctly.
    However a product we are evaluating (which depends on event forwarding to work) always ends up with a couple of mal-rendered lines - always look something like:
    Required Privs: %9
    I built a standalone AD domain and joined the same 'problem' clients to this domain and re-configured Event Forwarding - there was no need to change the subscription format type to "events" and the events were forwarded correctly and also
    the product we are looking at worked straight away.
    It seems that when event forwarding is configured in our live domain (or any of the test labs we have) I always get the attached errors....
    I've read a number of blogs that describe the issue and most recommend altering the subscription format - this however does not solve the issue entirely...
    Has anyone else seen this issue and maybe found out how to resolve?
    Thanks all
    Carl

    Yes,
    I have ACS forwarder and OPSmgr Agent on Event log collector computer.
    Event log collector computer shows some of the forwarded events incorrectly like "The
    description for Event ID 104 from source Microsoft-Windows-Eventlog cannot be found"
    When I change regional settings on Collector computer, event log shows all events(also previous) correctly.
    Forwarded with ACS and Opsmgr Agent events 
    from collector computer were saved in DB correctly, even when event log show them incorrectly like "The
    description for Event ID 104 from source Microsoft-Windows-Eventlog cannot be found"

  • How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.

    Follow those instructions and it will all be taken care of.

  • Why do I get the message that my operating system is not supported?

    My computer is running Windows 7 - 64-bit. I have the latest softwear on both my iPhone and my iPad. I have installed Edge Inspect on these devices and have the Google Chrome edge inspect extension installed. I have been able to enter my passcodes for both devices in the Chrome extension. Why do I get the message that my operating system is not supported just yet?

    This is VERY interesting ... even though I got that strange message, once I linked my iPhone and my iPad to the Google extension, it worked! Whatever I display in Google Chrome automatically displays in the Edge Inspect app on the small devices. This is neat! The only problem that I can see is that Adobe needs to replace the error message with information about how to use the application.
