Transparency settings lost but effects still there?!

A very strange thing has happened to my InDesign CS3 file. I pasted a solid-color vector object from Illustrator directly into InDesign, so that I could change the color, etc. I applied a transparency setting within InDesign (screen, 25%) and placed the vector within a frame to crop it. Somehow, those settings disappeared and yet the effect is still there. (When I check the transparency settings it says Normal, 100%.) The printer couldn't get the vector to print at all, from either a PDF/X-1a or from the native file. I am at a total loss on this and my printer is not happy. I can recreate the effect and re-send a file, but any ideas how or why this happened?
Many thanks.

Hi Lauren,
Got your file this morning and I've looked at it.
In your post and email you said the blend mode had disappeared, but this isn't really the case. The blend mose was applied to the grouped componenets which were then pasted into the frame over the color bar. To see the blend mode you have to get that group re-selected. Probably the easiest way to do that is to select the frame, then right-click and choose Select > Content.
When you do that you'll see the blend mode and transparency setting. Contrary to the description you've provided, the blend mose is lighten, not screen, and that seems to be the problem, though I have no idea why (I really don't know a whole lot about how blending modes are accomplished), though I suspect it has to with trying to lighten a color with black. Changing the blend mode to screen, as you thought it was, seems to work.

The camera on my ipad cannot be launched,the shutter appears closed and the button for taking a picture is not there. When tryying to use intsgram the message camera cannot be launched appears .tried to restart but problem still there

My camera is not working .shutter appears closed.tried to restart ipad but problem still there.no problem with photo booth problem with istangram

Try closing the Camera app via the taskbar and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
And by restart do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear (you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot). If not, and if closing the app doesn't fix it, then you could try that.

My iphone5 has a yellow screen. Turned it off last night but its still there. What should I do?

I'm at the beach right now then when I was taking pics, the yellow screen appeared. Turned it off last night, but its still there.

How long have you had your phone? Because if you've had it a long time, the battery in the phone might of died on you. Or have you dropped it in water, snow, from high up? All those things could of disconnected something internally in your phone, or permentaly damaged the internal hard drive its self, or the sims card.

If you take a screenshot (Press the home button and Lock button at the same time), does it appear on the screenshot? Zoom in on the screenshot and see if it's still there.
If not, then your display is failing. I would recommend taking it to an Apple Store if you can, if you can't then to an authorised Apple reseller.
If it does appear on the screenshot when you zoom into the spot, then it's a really weird software issue! You might have to backup and restore the device.
Let me know!

I have enabled homesharing in iTunes (from the advanced menu) and then used the same details when enabling homesharing on the Apple TV (settings computers), but I still can't stream my itunes to ATV. Does anyone have suggestions to resolve?

I Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
I Am using a Macpro though.
i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback.

Gnome 3 issues - transparency, settings lost

Hi!
I'm not much of a Linux-expert, although I try my best becoming one, so please be patient with me.
Yesterday I tried Ubuntu 11.04 beta and I was just shocked from the new GUI. I read somewhere that Ubuntu's Unity or something made the new Gnome GUI a lot worse, so I decided to give it a try with Arch.
I made a fresh install and as usual I followed the beginner's guide, etc. When everything seemed to be done, I started exploring the new things and while doing so I read about gnome-tweak-tool and dconf-editor and wanted to try them.
This is when I encountered my first problems. Changing the gnome-terminal keys worked fine, but anything else like showing the date on the clock, middle click on the title bar for minimizing the window did not.
I tried it using sudo, did not work.
The same thing happened when I tried to change the time and date settings to Network Time: ON but just like before with dconf-editor, after closing the window nothing happened, everything was just like before, Network Time was set to OFF.
So, this is my first problem, I can't change things. I don't have any idea what is wrong, but I'd like to know.
The next is that when I made the gnome-terminal's background to transparent, no matter what I tried to do, it did not work as intended (or as I imagine it should be). It was as if a black wall would be behind the white background of the window.
I saw this happening some time ago when I tried XFCE and the composition was turned off, but now in Gnome 3 everything seems to work fine, cool transparency behind the Applications on the Activities(?) panel, animated effects, windows maximizing when pulled to the top of the screen.
I know (or rather I think) that instead of Compiz, Gnome 3 uses Mutter, but I can't find any configuration for that.
So if anyone familiar with Gnome 3 could help me, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Martin

Sorry for double post, tho I don't think I will try to ask anything anymore.
I reinstalled arch linux with gnome 3, but I still have my mentioned first problem.
Dconf-editor seems missing some options I need. I made a screenshot just to make it clear what I'm talking about.
Here's the one I found on the internet:
http://www.dedoimedo.com/images/compute … uttons.jpg
Here's mine:

If anyone would happen to feel like looking at them and tell me if it's the same for him, that'd be nice.

6120c Gallery disappeared but files still there - ...

Last night I was at a concert (Fantomas/Serj for anyone who's curious ) and filmed for a few minutes on my phone after the camera was full.
Today when I look into my gallery, EVERYTHING is gone - pics, vids, sound clips, music.
When I go into my data manager, everything is still there. I can connect to pc suite and store the new images and videos, but none of them show up in the gallery.
I've tried turning the phone off then on (a few times), removing the memory card, resetting to factory settings with no success.
Can anyone help me please?

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
See also Make a split library portable for some thoughts on best practice when it comes to organizing the library and media files.

Folder is no longer in this location? But Folder Still There

I have Windows 7 and PrE 9. I was working on a folder/project on an external drive and had no problem accessing the avi or other folders in the drive. Once I was satisfied I no longer needed the project (about 14 GB) I deleted the project. I got a pop up window saying the folder was no longer in this location. What the heck? I was just working on it. I checked the folder again, everything was still there and functional. I then tried to cut and paste the folder to my main drive to see if I could delet it from there.
It started out as a normal transfer of files and then gave the message that the folder being transferred was no longer in that location. Ok. I rechecked the Project folder and it was still there but....All of the folders inside were gone except a Stop Capture folder of Zero bites. It still says the folder isn't there lol. Even though it says Zero bites I would like to get rid of this folder and the stop capture folder inside. I had two other projects right next to the one still there and they deleted fine.
Is this a Windows 7 thing and have you guys had this happen? I have one other folder on my desktop from a couple years back with the same scenario. Says its not there so I can't delete it. I just labeled it "can't get rid of this folder" and gave up but it still bugs me. Now I have another one.
Thanks

ATR,
I should have labeled this post "Could Not Find This item" or Item Not Found
Problem solved. I downloaded 7-zip version 9.22 beta from sourceforge (for whatever reason- just seemed good) There are other places to download from. Choose your favorite.
Here is a screenshot of my problem folder so that if others run into this problem 7zip may work for them.
I had a tussle with 7zip and it did not work to begin with, but the problems turned out to be really simple. My nephew is a computer wiz and came over to use the DOS procedure that people are using on the internet to delete the folder. At first he couldn't get it to work. Then we discovered there were 3 folders, one inside the stop motion capture, the stop motion capture, and the outer project folder. The folders had to be deleted from the innermost first, one at a time, to the outer folder. Hallelujah. This folder is gone after 2 years of staring at me.
If you have this message like I did the first thing to do is go into the main folder to the innermost items and delete as many as will delete normally thru windows. Keep deleting the inner folders til you get to the first one that won't delete. Then see how many folders inside the main folder remain.
So let's try 7zip again. I am a newbie so I thought others might like how my nephew and I did it.
In the main window there will be a short list on the left starting with computer and accessable drives. Double click on computer (or whichever location your trouble folder is in). A bigger list of stuff will show up. Mine was in the desktop so I double click on that. I look at that list fo find my trouble folder. Double click on that. Each time you double click will go to the next internal folder. Then when you get to the innermost folder rename it ( we just used the word del). Up higher on the screen is the red delete X click on that. the folder will be gone. To get to the next folder use the green "up one level" arrow just to the left of the url bar. The next folder will show up, rename and press X to delete. When you have reached the outer folder which you thought was your problem folder it will dissapear from your desktop ( or wherever it was located). In my case I had to delete 3 folders. My other problem folder was in my external drive so I just went through the same procedure after double clicking on the drive letter which was in the list in the starting window. Exit 7-zip when done.
You don't have to close 7-zip to delete the folders as I listed in my previous posts. These were just info I got from a couple of websites. Not complete by any means. They presume you know what you are doing with computers.
The only reason I started this discussion was because both of these folders were made with PrE7 and PrE9. I have never had this problem with anything else. Must be some kind of filing error between PrE and windows.
Hope this helps. The DOS procedure was lengthy and was way above my head but 7-zip only took a few minutes.

New hard drive but bookmarks still there

Is it even remotely possible that a "new hard drive" with Mavericks freshly installed could have my old bookmarks on it?? Are they stored with our Apple ID or something? Because I'm on my 3rd replacement drive within a couple of months from this Apple Certified dealer/repair shop, and I just got my computer back yesterday and they said they replaced hard drive, and installed Mavericks, but my Safari bookmarks from my original replacement hard drive were still there! There was no other trace that I could see from the old drive though.
I'm going crazy because I keep bring my computer to this place and they keep "replacing" the hard drive and I can't WORK. It always ends up completely freezing after bringing it home and using it for less than a day. I spoke to them yesterday and they said when they ran the diagnostics on my machine, everything else checked out ok. But is it possible that some other component is destroying my hard drive, or that maybe its not the hard drive at all? Even though their diagnostics say everything is in check? Or do they keep giving me the same hard drive (I never wrote down the serial number of it unfortunately, so I can't check) after they "fix it" or something? I'm going crazy.

What build model (identifier) MacBook do you have?
Since this series was manufactured, upgraded, and continued as the main
MacBook model (not MB/Pro, not MB/Air) from 2006 through 2010, you'd
have to specify so replies to technical questions have a specific basis to it.
If not a MacBook basic series, then it may be a MacBook Pro, etc.
•How to identify MacBook models
•How to identify MacBook Pro models
•How to identify your MacBook Air
You may have to consider getting a hard disk drive from a reputable third
party source and if the MacBook is one that isn't too difficult for the user
to upgrade or replace a hard disk drive, use instructions to do so yourself.
An example of such a HDD & upgrade source, with video & other instructions
is OWC or macsales.com, where you match up parts using the Model identifier
or look through their page and read what they say about identifying your MB,
which is helpful if you choose to also upgrade the RAM chips correctly.
A general reference of what a mac-centric reputable vender can offer includes:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/powerbook-ibook-macbook/
If you had access to an official retail Apple Store with Genius bar, they'd likely
be able to perform a diagnostic test to see what the problem(s) are with your
MacBook. Then their staff specialist could suggest a course of action, even
if the computer is out of warranty (likely is) they usually do this for free. Where
an authorized reseller may not be set up to do this, without a service fee.
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
There may be other Apple Authorized Service Providers not too far from you.
Or there may be a retail Apple Store with Genius bar within half a day away.
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store
The device should have a complete and thorough diagnostic by those who
seek to resolve the issue and not just throw a limited array of parts at it.
For your own security and complete backups of your system & software, you
could get an externally enclosed self-powered hard disk drive that can support
a bootable full system clone (use carboncopycloner or superduper utility) then
you could restore your computer from that, in addition to a separate device for
use with Time Machine, and so on. Be your own first line of tech support. I am.
You could use Disk Utility to see the serial numbers and other HDD info; also
if you can access the system profiler (different name in Mav 10.9 than old OSX)
that too will tell you a cross-section of hardware items and software in the Mac.
Good luck & happy computing!

Calendar events never appear but are still there, just hidden soomehow

A new problem has popped up and it's a weird one.
Suddenly any calendar events I add never appear.
Before, i'd get a green dot on a date indicating a meeting or something was set. Not anymore.
If I set a event and save it, no green dot.
If I go to the events button immediately after saving one, it says my schedule is free.
If I do a search for the event I just saved, nothing comes up.
But:
I still get the notice on the screen to remind me of the event (it's usually 24 hours before) and my alarm still goes off an hour in advance just as it was saved.
This is a problem.
I cannot check events I saved and if necessary change them or know they are upcoming because nothing appears. It also means I won't be notified if I set an event that conflicts with another. This I know for sure because when the problem arose I set the same appointment six times and was not once informed it conflicted with a saved event (that was aced numerous times before) in the end I (correctly) guessed it was actually saved, just not appearing. But this has to be fixed.
This is new. It didn't do this a few weeks ago, and I have not done anything unusual with my blackberry, unless it updated the OS w/o my knowledge and messed it up. I cannot be the only one experiencing this, but what fixes it!?
Crazy problem

Local calendar (set as home with an orange dot) and my name under my email address (green dot)
I never set these up, it appears to have been a default setting. I only discovered these settings when I was trying to investigate the problem. Home (orange dot) was OFF and my name under my email address was set to a green dot and ON. Now, to get my events to appear I must have the home orange dot on. If I turn it off my events go away even though my green dot next to my name has always been on. If I look on my calender I can see this weird setting change took place someplace a week ago because up until days ago, the green dots are all over my calenders and now only an orange dot will appear, so somehow the calender has begun to ignore my email and my name as what was once a default (that I never set up myself)

I update apps but update still there? Help

Sometimes i get this error. Although i update an app that has an available update, after i am finished and updated, when i open the app store the update is still there... Does this go away on its own later on or do i have to do something? I have tried deleting the app and re-installing it but the update is still there
Thanks

I have the same problem. It seems to be randomly ok when updating from iphone app store if done 1 by 1, but if you try and update on itunes it doesn't work - keeps telling me there is an update. Also, the update all button on the iphone seems to cause problems to.
I have just uninstalled itunes, wiped out directories & registry keys, reinstalled and re synced iphone and still have the same problem grrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! Now I have to setup iphone again.
I have only noticed today, that it doesn't download the new app version. ie: I'm trying to update an app from version 1.71 to 2.0 and it keeps downloading the 1.71 version, so it then tells you straight after that there is an update available. - Not to mention wasting my internet bandwidth as it keeps going in circles!!
At the moment, I cant update ANY apps... The above happens to all my apps waiting for the updated version. Its as if my apple account is programmed to only download the version I have, cause it aint my end!!
This has been happening for months now. Not happy at all. FIX IT APPLE

All user settings lost but UID/PW logs user in OK!

First time poster, new to Mac’s, not computer illiterate…
Hope that covered it all! Proficient in Windows XP but we made the switch, now having some challenges! My wife and I are both “Administrators” and 2 profiles exist on the computer. My wife logged in yesterday and her ID/Password logged her in. Other than that, for her profile, everything went back to factory defaults. Her Mail settings were gone, her iPhoto library still exists on the disk but the library doesn’t load, when safari loads, it indicates that “favorites cannot be saved”, the menu at the bottom of her screen doesn’t do the stretch scroll as you wave past the bottom of the screen.
It appears as though her UID exists, the data (example the actual digital photo’s) still exist on the disk however they’ve been disassociated with iPhoto. This appears to be the case for all apps.
Any thoughts on how to tackle this? I am posting in the Tiger forum as this problem is all related to one common theme. I suspect that there’s 1 solution that can be applied to resolve all these apps.
Bring on the suggestions!
Thanks,

Did she rename her home folder (the little house icon)? That can cause this problem. If so, have a look at this page for a fix.

When I try to update my youtube app, I'm asked to sign in with my Apple ID. The only problem is, it shows my sons Email instead of mine! When I go to settings my email is still there. How can I change the email when it asks me to put MY password in?

When I try to update my youtube app, I'm asked to sign in with my apple password but the email it shows is my sons! In my settings it still shows my email. Nowhere in my settings on my Ipod or if I sign in to Apple with my computer does it show his email. Can anyone help???

- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them. Thus it appears that yor sone purchased the app.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Break cluster after all resources lost but servers still alive?

Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can point me to some documentation to resolve this problem I have. Basically I'm trying to create a lab of my production environment to test migrating from Exchange 2007 to 2013. I used Disk2VHD to get a VM of one of my DCs, the two nodes
of my SCC Mailbox Servers, and my two CAS/HUB servers. I was able to get the DC and CAS/HUB servers working but haven't had much luck with the Mailbox servers. None of the cluster resources are available in the lab and the cluster service wont start.
It looks like in order to break the cluster I need the cluster itself to be working to delete the resources and uninstall the servers. I was hoping someone knows of a resource that shows how to break the cluster when you can't bring the cluster up
at all. Then I could establish a new cluster with a test database and test my migration procedure.
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
I am not fully understanding your environment. Do you virtualize your production environment to the test environment. The cluster settings were applied to the lab environment but there is no
real cluster setup on the lab?
Is there any error event ID in the application log?
Thanks,
