Unlock paths w/out unlocking all layers?

Hello!  I routinely lock individual paths in a layer in order to monkey around w/their neighbors (which are in the same layer), but then when I need to unlock them, I just want those two paths to unlock, not every single layer that is currently locked.  How can I do this without splitting them into different layers?  Thank you!

huh? i dont really inderstand your question but i'll give it a shot haha.
you want to lock and unlock individual abjects within a layer right? if you click the arrow of the layer it will expand to show the objects, which you can then scroll to your desired object(s) and lock them, then just unlock them when you are done. you dont have to unlock the whole layer.
also, on a related note, in cs4 and cs5 you can double click an object and edit it by itself even if it is grouped with something else.

    Please someone help me?!

    You have to connect the iPod to your syncing computer and restore via iTunes.  If iTune asks for the passcode and yu can't enter the pascode or if you do no have the syncing computer you hove to place the iPod in recovery mde and then restore.
    If you did not previouly sync to the computer after changing the passcode, iTunes will ask for the passcode.  Placing the iPod in recovry mode will erase the iPod.  That is the way this security feature works.
    You can restore from backup but you will lose everything since the backup.

  • Unlock all layers

    Hi everybody.
    i recieved a illustrator file with thousands of layers/sublayers, one of them is locked, and illustrator don't let me replace a font because says that "layer is locked".
    there is a command to unlock all layers?
    or to force a replace font without unlocking?
    Thanks

    Try locking one of your top layers. It will be available then as here
    When I had no top layers locked it looked like yours.

  • Illustrator Actions (Unlock All Layers) not persistent

    Hi all
    I hope this is the right section to post this.
    But like the title says I have problems with Actions and the Unlock All Layers. As soon we shut down Illustrator and start it up again this part is gone. Reloading the saved Action will solve the problem, as long you don't restart Illustrator again.
    This is what the action looks like when it is loaded:
    This it like it is when Illustrator has restarted:
    This has been tested on different operating systems and in CS4 and CS5.
    Any idea how to solve this?

    OK here it goes:
    -Unlock All Layers
    -Unlock All
    -Deselect All
    -Show All
    -Clear
    -Select Stray Points
    -Clear
    -Select All

  • How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of (connect to iTunes) mode?

    How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of recovery (connect to itunes) mode? 
    Once the iPhone 3GS is in DFU mode and plugged into iTunes, the restore and update process begins. The restores process are as followed:
    Extracting software > Preparing iPhone for restore (blank screen) > Preparing iPhone software for restore > Restoring iPhone software > Verifying iPhone restore > Restoring iPhone firmware > The iPhone cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (1).
    I clicked on the more information tab and was taken to a website with some troubleshooting. I did what they suggested (based on the error #) and still no luck. I’ve tried to restore and update about 10 times now but the same message keeps coming up at the end. What should I do now?
    P.S: I have the latest version of iTunes (11), my windows is up to date etc ...

  • I have 5 layers of texts with a white background on the bottom(V1). I want to cross dissolve to black at the same time on all layers. However they all don't disappear at the same time. It seems the top layer fades out last, and so on.

    You can condense multiple clips that are stacked above each other into a nest. The nest appears as a single clip in the Timeline. If you need to modify the individual clips inside after you have created the nest, it can be expanded again by double clicking it.

  • Hi have iphone 4s factory unlocked wifi greyed out.. need permanent fix pls

    have iphone 4s factory unlocked wifi greyed out.. need permanent fix tried everything but not working... what would e the cost of repair ??

    It has no correlation.  You do not have to have an Apple ID in order house an iPhone.  An Apple ID is only needed to use iCloud and iTunes & App Store on an iPhone.  You can have an iPhone set up as new, no user data whatsoever, and still connect to wi-fi. 
    Making a new Apple ID had nothing to do with fixing the wi-fi on your iPhone.  It's like saying that putting a new driver into a car suddenly fixed the transmission problem.

  • If I buy unlocked iPhone would work on all the networks including Verizon.?

    If I buy unlocked iPhone would work on all the networks including Verizon.?

    No. an unlocked iPhone will only work on GSM networks. The only GSM carriers in the US are AT&T and T-Mobile.  Any of the small, regional carriers that use GSM are actually MVNO's that piggyback on the T-Mobile or AT&T networks. You will have issues with some features using those carriers, most notably MMS messaging and cellular data.
    If you are going to want to use Verizon, then buy a Verizon phone.

  • When will iphone 5 come out unlocked?

    when will the iphone 5 come out unlocked or where can I buy it

    I live outside the US and i have a question. I want to buy the iPhone 5 unlocked but it still hasn't came out yet in the US because i am planning on buying it in the US and i've been waiting 2 minths for it! So i wanted to ask if i could buy the Verizon iPhone on contract for $299 (i want the 32GB version) and pay the early termination fee which is $350 and since the iPhone is already unlocked since it's Verizon i can use it here in my country. Is that true? And i would be saving a hundred dollars since 350 + 299 = 649 and the 32GB unlocked iPhone 5 costs $749 ?
    Thanks and please reply ASAP

  • How to 'Select All Layers' when background is locked?

    I've just tried to Select > All Layers and was very surprised when the Background, a locked layer, was not included in the selection. Is it possible to select all layers, included the background?

    This could be a tricky one and needs some explanation. I have about 1600 images to process. I would prefer to do so from within InDesign, to which the images are linked. I want to apply Smart Filters to all the images. That's only a part of the story, but it will do for the moment.
    Method 1 and Why it Won't Work
    I could apply a Smart Filter by choosing a certain image in InDesign; selecting Edit Original and the image opens in PS. Then I was hoping to use Select All Layers and apply a Smart Filter. But... Select All Layers doesn't select all layers, and you can't apply a Smart Filter unless all layers are selected.
    Method 2 and Why it Won't Work
    I could open the images within PS by using Open as Smart Object, which DOES select all the layers and allows you to apply a Smart Filter. But for a very good reason (I can explain the reason, but it would take a few more paragraphs), I want to open the images from within InDesign. So, method 2 is unsuitable.
    Method 3 and Why it Won't Work
    I could batch all the images using an Action to unlock the Background. But, not all my 1600 images have a background. Some have ordinary unlocked layers, some have text layers. I could set up an Action to unlock Background layers (double-click, followed by a Return to name the layer "layer 0"), but if the Action came across a text layer on the bottom -- big problem. For a text layer, double-click followed by a Return  does nothing. I'd have one locked-up Action.
    Method 4 - A script working from within InDesign could open the images as Smart Objects -- but I'm not a script man.
    Seems a bit silly that Select All Layers doesn't allow me to select all layers.

  • How do i move all layers at once in my GIF

    hi, I have recently switched to adobe fireworks, and its
    really confusing to me. I was wondering how to move all layers at
    one time in my animated GIF. I like moving each frame individually
    and it is taking a LONG long long time! In image ready, it was a
    lot easier for me, in this I cannot seem to figure it out.
    Also how do i move all layers at once onto another image?
    Thanks

    after calling this
    JComboBox CB = new JComboBox();
    CB.addItem("Jan");
    CB.addItem("Feb");
    CB.removeAllItems();
    do this
    CB=null;
    now when u want to add again
    do this
    CB=new JComboBox();
    CB.addItem("bla bla ..");

  • Is there a way to select all layers at once?

    I have a bunch of layers, WITHOUT holding down control and clicking each one, one by one, is there a button or shortcut to just auto highlight all the layers, Im trying to move them around evenly together on the canvase at once.
    Thanks

    You can also Select all Layers by clicking on the top, or the bottom, then holding down Shift and clicking on the other (top, or bottom). That will Select the Background, but as Conroy points out, it cannot be Moved, so you might not want to use that, depending on what your next operation will be.
    If you do wish to perform certain operations, including the Background Layer, you can first Dbl-click on it, and convert it to a "regular" Layer.
    Good luck,

  • Hi i updated my iphone but it says that This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked. how can i unlock this one?

    hi i updated my iphone but it says that This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked. how can i unlock this one?

    Your iPhone was hacked or jailbroken before and through the update it locks back to the original carrier. Only the original carrier can unlock the iPhone. You have to contact them and find out what the procedure you needs to follow.
