Using the "Stroke" feature to outline shapes keeps resizing them. Help!

I'm creating a document with 4-equal sized elements. I need to lock the exact size and placement on the page as these will be printed double-sided. Every time I use the stroke feature to outline to make a border it screws up the size of the element. Is there any way to stop this?
Thanks!

The size of a shape is defined at mid_width of its borders.
So, if you change the stroke, you don't change the mathematical size but you change the 'appearing' one. The soluc is to reduce the mathematical size which is the one returned by the Inspector > Measures

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Blurred lines when using the stroke tool

Im trying to draw frames with feathered corners using strokes, its supposed to be a solid black line 2px thick it works sometimes but not others. What I end up with is a blurred edge, almost like it's using a spray which is not at all what I want, have tried changing various settings but its still the same.
Anyone any ideas please? It's driving me mad..
Thanks!

Yes, I was using the marquee tool to create the rectangular shapes then using the stroke tool. I took feathered setting off and that resolved the problem.
But...
How do I create rectangular shapres with rounded edges, then use the stroke tool?
I've changed the colour settings so it's not being 'filled' but when I try to use stroke it's now greyed out.
All I am trying to achieve is a rectangular shape with rounded edges with a black outline.
I thought it would be simple ;)

I have been using the Firefox feature in which I could have multiple sets of tabs open but see only the set I was working with. I updated and now feature is gone. I had a small icon on the upper right side of my toolbar. I used it all the time to keep separate windows for news, financial items, travel plans, etc. Has this been removed from Firefox?

HT1218 What do I need to do to use the Airplay feature with Jango Radio from my iPhone or Mac?

What do I need to do to use the Airplay feature with Jango Radio from my iPhone or Mac?

Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
High regards to everybody

Problems using the template feature in CS3

Hi Everyone
Appreciation in advance to anyone trying to help me out, as I am a little lost to say the least...
Firstly the website I'm talking about it www.handbakedarcade.co.uk
I recently re-built the site using the template feature on dreamweaver as I have a lot of pages and all have the same general layout with just one large editable region in the main section of each page. The trouble I'm having is that when i change the template (named TEMPLATE3.dwt) and then re-upload it as well as the pages that are dependent on it the changes are not seen. The problem is simple, I will try and prepare for the answer not to be!
Thanks again, Tom

We'll give this another try:
Tom,
Looking at the page you linked it - it doesn't show any template markup at all. There are no editable or non-editable regions showing in the code.
The actual master template (the dwt file) does not have to be uploaded to the server. Once you make changes to a template, the changes flow through to all the child pages associated with the template and these are the files that need to be uploaded.    You can upload the templates folder to the remote if you wish to keep a copy as a backup, but it makes no difference to the associated with it.
Not sure what's happened to you page, as Nancy pointed out the opening and closing <body> tags are missing.
I have created an ID for the outer div so that we can give it some styles so that it is centered on the page and also that the content within the wrapper are centered.
Copy and paste the following code in a new DW document and see the differences between your original code (the page that you linked to) and the code below.

I Dont Want To Use The Bounce Feature Anymore : ( Is There Another Way?

Hey Guys!
Im convinced that the bounce feature takes a little something away from your sound of your file. I there a way i can mixdown my song in realtime without using the "bounce" feature. I love WaveBurner but im sure i cant record my project straight to it in "realtime".
A friend of mine says he takes his multitrack project, output it from the soundcard from computer (A) to computer (B) inputs, realtime record it onto a stereo track (most of the time to a 96K format). and then burn THAT file to cd.
That sounds cool i guess but i dont want to run out a buy another computer and soundcard just to achieve this!
Any suggestions?

Have you tried recording back into the same song, onto a new stereo track?
So for instance, go out of your interface, back into your interface, with the new stereo track's inputs set to match. Word of caution... MUTE that stereo track that you will be recording to, or at the very least, turn software monitoring off, or set it's output to "no output".
However, in my experience, the only thing you'll gain from doing that is an extra conversion step, which is never ideal.
Also... how hard are you hitting your main output in Logic? If it's at 0dB, or close to it, that very well may be part of the problem, or why you may feel things sound "wrong". If you are mixing entirely "in the box", keep all your levels VERY conservative, and try to make the loudest points in the song peak out at -6dB or -7dB.
Someone else can explain the technical details... but this practice is important to observe when working in the box entirely. Once I started to adhere to it, my mixes were much more "open", and dynamic. It truly made a huge difference to the sound.
And the lower volume can be made up for in mastering.
If you need a Masterlink, let me know. I have one in mint condition, that I simply do not use anymore. It'll be priced to sell...

How to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?

how to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?
so you can find the basestations in larger networks?

There is a workaround, which is to use Airport Utility 5.6.
I can confirm that 5.6 will run on 10.8.4 Mountain Lion, it will recognize the new 2013 Airport Extreme Base Station (A1521) running firmware 7.7.1, and it will give you access to view the device's Log & Statistics, DHCP Clients, and Profiles.
Four caveats:
1) The easiest way to install it is to download the app itself, not an installer or through the App Store. There is a page here where you can download the app: http://coreyjmahler.com/2013/03/08/airport-utility-5-6-on-os-x-v10-8-mountain-li on/ This way, you still have both versions, Airport Utility 6.x.x and 5.6.
2) When you launch 5.6, you'll get a message saying a newer version is available and asking if you want to update. Click Cancel to proceed into the utility.
3) When you click the Manual Setup button in 5.6, you'll get a warning dialog that "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this AirPort wireless device and might improperly configure the device if you continue to use it. Check www.apple.com/support/airport for the latest version of AirPort Utility." You can click Continue to get into the utility without issue.
4) You should probably only use 5.6 to view the additional status details. I have not tried to modify and save any AEBS settings using 5.6. There are other discussions here in the forums indicating that attempting to save settings via 5.6 that are no longer available in 6.3.1 will not actually save the settings to the AEBS even if both utilities indicate that the settings are changed. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/22677993#22677993
So, even though you can't use it to modify settings no longer available in Airport Utility 6.3.1, using Airport Utility 5.6 to view DHCP clients, Logs and Statistics is very useful for troubleshooting network issues.
PS - There are two ways to get to the DHCP Clients list, neither of which is obvious The first is to go to the Airport pane -> Summary tab and click on the "Wireless Clients:" label in the Summary display. All of the labels from "Wireless Mode:" down on the Summary display operate as links to view/edit the corresponding info/settings, which is also not obvious at first glance. Also not obvious, clicking on "Wireless Clients:" actually brings up a new pane with three tabs: Logs, Wireless Clients, and DHCP Clients. You can also get to the same pane by going to the Advanced pane and clicking on the Logs and Statistics button.
I hope this is helpful information. Took me a while to find out how to do this.

Can I assign several physical storage locations for each virtual machine when using the replication-feature from Hyper-V 2012 R2?

Hi everyone,
I have 2x physical servers running Hyper-V 2012 R2. Each hosts several virtual machines. The VHDs of the VMs are stored on several dedicated physical disks to have a performance boost. For exampe if VM A has two VHDs attached I made sure that the VHDs are
on different physical disks to have them not slow-down each other in case of intensive disk accesses.
So far so good. I was looking forward to the replication-feature. The idea is to have the two physical servers have their primary running VMs being replicated to the other physical server and vice-versa. I was hoping to have the chance to choose for each
individual VM where the replicated VHD will be stored. But instead I can only see the one location/path which is configured in Hyper-V Manager when I activate the replication-feature on the server.
Is there by any chance a way how to select the storage location for each VHD/VM if using the replication-feature of Hyper-V 2012 R2?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Secondly, you could replicate different VMs to different storage locations to perform some of the disk balancing you are trying to perform. Lastly, you could copy the vhd file to a different location
before starting the VM.
.:|:.:|:. tim
Hi Tim,
thanks for the reply. Sorry, but I had some other tasks to take care of, so I wasn't paying enough attention to this thread.
The part I quoted from your reply sounds exactly like the action I'd like to perform, but as you pointed out before this should not be possible.
How can I perform the action (replicating each VM to a storage location) as you mentioned secondly? To sum it up again:
2x physical machines carrying severel HDDs
8+ VMs spread to run on the 2x servers
when setting up replication I can only set the storage-location from server A on B and vice versa B on A
Thanks again for your reply.
Cheers,
Sebastian

The connection of the phone to the monitor would allow you to see, but does not have the ability to translate the touch on the monitor to the phone through that cable.

I have never been able to use the Macmail feature. Running OSX 10.4.11, and the problems appear to be related to the fact that when I originally registered my computer with apple, I used an old e-mail address which is now defunct. Have since upgraded the e-mail address in account manger, but it still locks me out and rejects my user name and password when I try to log in. It seems it established an account for me automatically when I first fired the beast up, but now the Macmail program is uncooperative with me. Any assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks

In version 4.0 I can't use the pinch feature on my trackpad to zoom in and out. Is there a setting in Firefox for this?

I installed v4.0 of Firefox and can no longer use the pinch feature on the trackpad of my MacBook. It seems to work OK in Safart and I'm wondering if there is a setting in Firefox to enable me to use that feature. The way the feature works is that you pinch your thumb & forefinger together or spread them apart to zoom in and out.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift cmd_fullZoomReset
