White box showing up around my pattern, big white box?

Hello,
I have a pattern to simulate a heather look. It uses some effects. The box itself is trimmed fine when selected, but when I drag it into swatches, a white box surrounds it, so that shows up when I try to fill the patters. It's not a little edge it's quite large. I have tried to expand, rasterize, make a box the size of the initial pattern and divide objects below or use the pathfinder to crop, but nothing is working.
Has anyone ever had this probelm, does anyone even know why the white box surrounds it?
Here is a snapshot when I select with the selections tool. You can see it goes to the proper edge, but look at the swatch it creates in the swatch pallete, it has a white boarder.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks!

Hi Monika,
That worked great...thanks so much!!
What I ended up doing based on the earlier suggestion, was I realized when I was putting those gallery raster effects on it, it was that was which was causing the white box. So, what I did, was I created the solid color box, then rasterized it first, then applied the effects and that seemed to work as well....But, this is a great thing to know!!!!
thanks so much!!!

Hi Larry,
I didn't think that was a default setting for a spreadsheet built within a table, but apparently it is.
I'm guessing your experience is similar to mine when I first tried out Numbers after years with Excel. I just didn't get it. It was only after I realized the advantages of working with discrete tables (as opposed to Excel's one big sheet) that things got easier, much easier.
it looks like with so many people complaining they're starting to add features back in.
None of us are privy to what is going on within Apple, of course, but just a general knowledge of the complexities of software engineering and the typical lead times suggests that the major features added back in had to have been planned quite some time ago. It seems more are likely in the works.
Unfortunately, if you have to work with folks who use Office (on Windows) it's still not a great option.
This depends on what your work involves. I've had few problems in a Window-centric office. In general, if you have to do a lot of printing of precisely formatted documents, Numbers 3 in its current form is not a great choice.
But if you're interested in collaborating, the iCloud sharing has gotten pretty decent (in some ways better than the MS offering). Anyone on any OS with a modern browser can take advantage of that.
And if you want to do data entry in the field on a popular mobile device and have it sync automatically back to a computer, Numbers currently has a big leg up on the competition.

Big clunking boxes around buttons (grow when button moved)

I've created a menu by first picking the blank menu, adding a background image, and 3 images then turned to buttons
I edited the rest of the look I wanted in photoshop... but I end up with some big clunking boxes around the buttons that grow when I select and move the buttons around. I've included a small screen shot that shows the Red borders around the buttons. (Then turn green when selected).
How can make these boxes conform to the size of the image plus text? What is it inside the botton groups in PS that control that?
I've also included a small screen shot showing the typical organization of a button in photoshop
PS - Oh, yes, I did unhook automatic button routing and make sure the routing was what appeared sound.
And now the photoshop screenshot showing organization of buttons (2 open groups 1 closed to keep size down but the arragement is the same as the other two)

Stanley nailed it.
When doing editing in PS, I always turn on Visibility for each Button (remembering to turn the off, before the final Save), and then twirl closed each Button Layer Set. The reason for that is that I will then ONLY Select the entire Button Layer Set, when I begin moving things about. That keeps me from dragging an elemental Layer in the Button Layer Set and also making sure that any Move operation does so for every element in that Button Layer Set. Before I adopted that workflow, it was common for me to accidentally grab an element, and Move it, or grab most, but not all, leaving elements behind. Now, I cannot make that mistake.
Also, and as an aside, one can increase the area of a Button, if needed. Normally, we're trying to shrink the size of a Button to allow for tighter locations on a Menu, but imagine that you have done dupe Menus, so that a graphic appears to be part of the Button in a roll-over state. On a computer, the user will need to Dbl-click on the initial Button, as a computer DVD software player will not allow for AutoActivation. If there are elements that "appear" to be part of the actual Button, but are not, the computer user might be clicking on areas that are NOT part of that Button. By including a larger, but totally transparent rectangle, the area of the Button has been increased to what the user might expect it to be. It's almost like including an "Easter egg" inside a real Button. As you have seen, one does not need be able to see all of the elements of a Button, but the Bounding Box will definitely be influenced by the largest element of that Button, and all others, if they are outside of the bounds of that one. That Bounding Box will transcribe a rectangle that encompasses ALL elements in that Button, and leave a few pixels around them.
Good luck,
Hunt

Thin white lines showing around shapes

When I open a logo created in Illustrator in other programs such as acrobat or photoshop there are thin white lines showing around every object! Even on the inside of the surronding lines of an area colored using the live paint bucket (black area surrounden by black lines). I see no lines in Illustrator and there is no "stroke" on these objects (only fill). I have tried to save it to different formats (ai, eps and pdf because I want to keep it vectorized) but it doesn´t help. What can I do?

They don't print. Search the Knowledgebase for "stitching" for an explanation.

Eliminating 'the big white box ' on load

In the second or two before my flash page appears with normal
preloader etc, the size of the flash element is always shown a s a
big white box over the surrounding black page...my background color
is set to black on both the flash and html page containing it and I
try to leave first frame clear of elements that would slow
load...is there an easy fix for this unsightly hiccup to my
intro?

Try to set the flash window at "transparent, windowless" at

Reflection Themes have big white box in the background

Rookie iDVD user here, and haven't been able to solve this one.
Trying to use the 6.0 theme "Reflection Black" and it is sticking a big white square in the middle of the screen. It is behind the drop zones and I cannot figure out why it is there or how to get rid of it. It gets added to submenu screens as well. Sometimes if I start over it goes away temporarily but eventually jumps in there.
I am seeing other oddness when switching between other themes as well, but this white box is the one I'm chiefly concerned with. Anyone else seen this? Is there a clean way to trash the non-7.0 themes and then reinstall them? Thanks.
This is on Leopard btw.

Code? Page link? Can't help unless we see what's going on. It might just be that your container table/div has a white background assigned to it.

Printing a .pdf with "boxed" sections appearing as "white" and showing a "white" border to the "box"

Dear Community,
I have created a .pdf file from an email and then "boxed" sections of the document with a white border and a white fill, intending the recipient to be unable to see the text within the "box". However, when I print the document it appears as if the "boxed" sections did not exist. In other words, all the text in the email is printed. Can anyone help with a solution, please.

You cannot create pdf files or forms in Adobe Reader. If you used Acrobat, please repost in that forum.

Photo bounding box shows when printed

I'm a new user to the programs and I've edited a photo in photoshop, took the background from around a moth, then placed it on a book cover. When the cover is printed you can see the bounding box(shows darker than the background color) where the background used to be. On screen you don't see any difference. I can't figure out how to get the file not to show the background and whether it is a photoshop change or an InDesign change. Can some one please help in how to make this change? Thanks for helping out a newbie!

It sounds like the bounding box area is almost black and your background is black. The difference between what you see on screen and what prints can be as simple as rgb vs cmyk. Where as the rgb or monitor shows both to be black and cmyk or printer shows a shift in brightness between the two values.
If this sounds like whats happening a simple fix is to use the levels command, you will find three eye droppers the bottom one sets the black level, click on the dropper then onto the area that is suppose to be black. This will force that area or I should say values to be black.
In other words if you had three shades in an image, one thats white, one thats 50 % grey, and one thats black. Using the eye dropper and clicking on the grey shade would tell photoshop to treat anything in the image that is between 50% and 100% black as black and leave the rest of the image alone.

White border showing on right

Hi,
I've loading the site here http://www.bulls-eyegraphics.com/
My problem is the pages are cutting off the grey background on the right side and displaying a big white vertical line instead.
(it temporarily rendered correctly, after I added <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> - but then it went back to showing the white border on the right....?)
I normally work in print design, I laid out the site in photoshopCS3, sliced in image ready CS2 and took into dreamweaver as an entire site.
(Nancy suggested a better way of going about the building of the site, (which I may use to re-do the entire site - but for now, I would just like to correct this problem of the white border...)
thanks,
Francine

I can get around html but still figuring out css....

Big white spot in the middle of iphone scree

I had a problem with my iphone last night, i left it charging overnight and this morning it was still on but the screen was completely black and it wouldnt respond to anything that i did. I tried doing the typical restoring and connecting it to itunes to restore it through there and it wouldnt respond. After a few hours while i was looking for a solution it just turned completely off because it ran out of battery. Now everything is working but there is a big white blotch in the middle of the screen, but it seems to be a surface thing, because when i take screenshots it doesnt show up on there. Is there anyway that i could get rid of this blotch? This is what it looks like, its see-through but its very bothersome. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Big WHITE Flash at wake

Just updated to (10.8.2) and I'm getting a big white (whole screen) Flash when I wake from sleep, then the dark desktop wall paper shows up.
Anyone else experiencing this too?

Yes, on a mid-2011 MacBook Air. Tried resetting SMC, no luck. I've installed all the prior firmware updates. It only happens when running on battery power. I'm going to experiment with disabling Power Nap when running on battery to see if that makes a difference.

"if for some reason u have the icon in your task bar (the one with 2 arrows pointing in a circle) just go into mobile me pref...click sync...and uncheck box show status in menu bar."
I do not have the option box to "show status in menu bar"
I tried the free for a little while Mobile me, and didn't use it, so cancled. I cannot get the sync status roundabout arrows out of my status bar. AND, they keep trying to sync.
Another issue related with this is that during the time that I tried out Mobile me, I had my ical alarm set to go off every 2 hours. NOW my computer has an ical pop-up every 2 hours. I cannot find how to stop it.
Another issue, Yahoo is trying to sync with my computer and I have no idea why or where that one came from.
Can anyone out there help me please.

Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off. Still nothing appeared on the screen. I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black. However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed. In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on.
What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
gud luck

How can I get a picture to go with my email signature when sending emails from my iPad? Only a square box shows up on my signature not the actual picture I iploaded in my settings.

Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.
Regards.
