Timeline turns into a red box
When I add clips to, or move clips on, my timeline it (the timeline) turns into a red box. I am not referring to the render bar above the timeline; it looks as though someone stuck a red rectangle to my screen over where the timeline should be. I found another post concerning the same issue but all that was recommended was updating my graphics driver. I updated but the issue persists. I am running CS3 on OSX 10.7.5
>I want to know if there is a way to change it back without deleting it and redrawing it.
Select it and right click, then choose content and select unassigned. You'll have to delete any text you entered into it first. Content is also available from the Object menu.
It's not necessarily a sin to use the background frame as a text container, too. Just set appropriate frame insets for the text.
>Check Pre-Flight and it will show that a font is used.
As soon as you have an active insertion point (which you get when you create a text frame) you have used the current default font. It's applied to the end-of-paragraph marker for the empty paragraph. Most likely you are seeing that. When you select text and convert the text to outlines it becomes an inline graphic. Try selecting the frame instead of the text before converting.
But you shouldn't need to convert to outlines at all in a modern PDF workflow with properly embedded fonts.

I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

Why have some apps on my Ipad turned into a grey box with lines in it?
3 apps on my ipad have turned from icons into grey boxes with lines in them. When I click on them, they try updating but it doesn't complete. What's going on here? Is this some kind of virus?
Not a virus. More like a glitch. When mine did that all I needed to do was to open the apps and the icons reset.
If you won't lose any game progress or the such, you could try to delete and then redownload the apps.
If you're having issues downloading the apps, try to go into the settings, iTUnes and app store, sign out and then sign back in.
The app store has been a bit wiggy lately. I've had some issues downloading apps or updates and it's not on my end, it's on Apple's end. Which, unfortunately, means there's not much a user can do but wait for Apple to fix it. -
Timeline turns into screen hole FCP6
Everytime I drag items onto the timeline, if I click off of them...the object "disappears" from the timeline, and I'm able to see whatever is underneath the timeline, and interact with it, and CANT access that part of the timeline without closing and opening it again. It happens EVERY time I click off.
So for instance, I add a video file to the timeline...i click anywhere else, the block disappears, and i can see the desktop or a browser window underneath, and if i click in that timeline spot, the browser part will come to the front. Its like a hole in the timeline.
Any ideas why this might be?
thanks

Excel tables turn into black boxes when put into PDF
I'm working in Framemaker 8 and when I try to turn the document into a PDF, any excel table in the document turns into a black box. Is there any way to fix this?!
Add the following to your CSS
a img { border: none; }
Also, externalize your CSS.
Put all your CSS rules (currently all rules are pasted separately into the <head> of every webpage) into a single external stylesheet e.g. dubzz.css.
Then delete all the CSS rules in the <head> of every page and link every page to that stylesheet (dubzz.css) and upload everything.
That way, you only have to maintain your CSS rules for the entire website from one tiny file. Then upload and every page will be instantly up to date. -
When I duplicate or copy slides, my custom theme images turn into big grey boxes with an 'x' through them and a question mark in the middle in their new destination. When I go look at the master slides, I see that there are now two sets of masters, one for the my custom theme and a new one just like it, but with no images.
How can I copy (or duplicate) my slides?OK, got it ... the Power ON Factory reset procedures might have changed with GB ...
To get to a Factory reset using the Power up method:
1. Power Off phone
2. Press & Hold the HOME Button
3. Press and Hold the Power ON button.
You come up to the Triangle with the Exclamation mark & android guy.
Press BOTH the Up and Down Buttons at the same time. This brings up the Blue menu of options.
use the Up/Down arrows to scroll thru the choices. Press the POWER Button to Select the menu item you choose.
You can harmlessly test this and just choose to Reboot without doing anything, just to see how it works in case you ever need to do this in the future.
edit: It was concluded in the test group that they changed this process to align it with the new DX2 as the camera button isn't hard-wired like it is in the DX. So likely they just wanted to make this process the same for both platforms. At least it sounds like a good reason... -

Sorry, I cannot imagine what's happening, I have never seen this error associated with still images.
Try searching the archives for the error message and see if any of the many threads offer anything helpful.

When i add text to PDFs and work on the file for awhile, my red added text starts to turn into red X's with a box around them. I have OCRs turned off, i have the latest update, and i have registered the product. What is happening to my text while i'm working on these files? On top of this, my red arrows get moved around also.
Hi ,
Could you please update me with few details like what version of Acrobat are you using?
What OS do you work on ?
Do you experience this any particular PDF or happens with all of them?
Did you try the same with turning on the OCR ?Please check the same and compare the outputs .Does that help you in anyway ?
If the file is not confidential ,could you please share the file with us so that we can analyse it our end and revert you with the appropriate answer .
Please share the file on [email protected] and please cc [email protected] as well .

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box. Thanks! Olga
If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

Menu fonts all turn into boxed capital "A"s
At some point last night, while I was working on my 10.4.9 PowerMac G4, something happened and my menu fonts all turned into some glyph that looks like a capital "A" inside of a box. All of the text on the desktop, menu bar, window titles, and the left side of a finder window have this change. Files displayed within a finder window, however, do not.
Does anyone have any idea of what might have gone broken to cause this, and ideas on what I can do to try to fix it? I'd rather not reinstall if that's an option.
I've run Disk Utility and DiskWarrior to make sure the drive is up to spec, and it checked out.
PowerMac G4 Dual 1Ghz (MDD) Mac OS X (10.4.9)Would it be possible to replace that font from
another 10.4.9 system?
Sure, from any OS X system at all. But I imagine you
still have Lucida Grande (look in
System/Library/Fonts) and I doubt replacing it will
help. Worth a try, but I think the problem is
something messed up in the OS that makes it think the
font is gone.
That, also, appears to be the case. Sigh. Looks like it's reinstall time.
Thanks for the tips, though! -
When viewing a published .swf demonistration the screen turns
into red blocks about 20 minutes (100slides) in. This seems to be a
random occurance as sometimes I can get all the way through the
demonstration and sometimes not.
Has anyone else seen this before?
Might it have something to do with the size of the
demonstration and running out of memory?
Thanks for any help.Hi there Kev_Stein
You can take your presentation and split it up. Just click
File > Save As and create several copies. Then pare away chunks
from each project. Then you Daisy Chain them together so that as
one ends, the next automatically begins.
I have a demo that may help.

How to remove these icons in the red box, and Merge the two rows into 1?
1. How may one remove these icons in the red box?
2. How may one coalesce/merge the two bottom rows into one row?
I'm running a French version of Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.0.I'm working in AA9, but it may be the same.
The icons are in Tool Groups. The Groups are seperated by the verticle bars.
Right Click within a toolbar group to avail options for enabling and disabling tools within a Group.
The bars themselves can be selected with the mouse and dragged to re-order the groups. -
