Why are my hidden layers showing up in a PDF when i convert it from an Ai file?

When I convert an illustrator file to a PDF the hidden layers are showing up when openned by a mac or iphone. This does not happen when i send it to people with a pc and is only happening to one person. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
Thank you.

That's probably because the Mac people are opening or viewing the PDFs within the Mac's "Mail" program or with the "Preview" program and not with Acrobat.
Since the Windows people aren't using these programs and most likely just Acrobat or Adobe Reader, the layers are kept hidden.
I'm afraid the only way to truly keep those layers hidden is to delete them before saving your file as a PDF. (Of course, do a "Save As" and keep your original .ai file intact.

Why are the original movie soundtrack not included by default when I buy movies from the iTunes Store, Why are the original movie soundtrack not included by default when I buy movies from the iTunes Store

I assumed that the original soundtrack was part of the movie when I bought a dubbed movie (danish in my case), as is the case with DVD and Blueray movies. Apparently it is not...

Ha, ha, you are such a tool!
That profile was written in 2007 and never updated. Unlike you, I don't live on this forum. I have one 5 year old Dell gathering dust, waiting for the trash that has some kids software on it my kids never use.
Currently I own a 27 inch iMac, and a 21 inch iMac used by my wife. I just sold my MacBook Air, which replaced my MacBook Pro of two years ago. I have an AppleTV v2, and unfortunately gave my AppleTV v1 to a friend before I realized they stripped out the movie purchase feature. We also own an iPad, two iPhones, and 4 iPods, two of which are used as digital music storage for our cars.
So yes, all of my factual posts concerning Apple's shocking decision to try to hide the fact they removed significant functionality from AppleTV when they revved it, are just driven by the fact that 4 years ago I used almost no apple products. Apparently I harbor a twisted desire to hurt the company that provides me almost all of my technology of choice today, despite being an early software developer for the Mac, helping start two Macinotosh software companies in the 1980s and 1990s, and working at Apple for 2 years in the early 90s.
The truth is, Apple's products weren't so good 15 years ago so I gradually switched to Windows for professional reasons. About 4 years go I bought an iPhone, and started to wake up to the fact that Apple had done a tremendous job moving the Mac platform to the intel architecture, and was very happy to replace my crappy dells with Apple products.
But that doesn't mean I wear blinders when their product teams and marketing department makes mistakes, or does something deceptive.

Are you sure .mov files worked on the iPhone without a third part player? I'm just not sure...
Try these instructions from Apple:
Convert a video to work with iPhone: Select the video in your iTunes library and choose Advanced > “Create iPod or iPhone Version.” Then add the converted video to iPhone.

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I experienced this issue as well.
Background:
I had opened an ICS attachment for a repeating event on my iPhone, which added the item to my phone's calendar. I did not have the option to delete the calendar entry from my phone, and the item did not appear on the calendar on my Mac. My phone is currently running iOS 7 (but the problem began quite awhile ago; I don't recall which version of iOS was installed when it started).
Solution (summary):
Create a new calendar, move the items that you wish to delete to the new calendar, then delete the new calendar
Solution (detailed steps):
Create a new calendar
On your phone, open the calendar app
Tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the "Add Calendar..." option
Give your new calendar a good name, such as "Delete me"
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the new calendar
Tap "Done" in the top left corner to finish editing the list of calendars
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars
Assign all calendar entries that you wish to delete to the calendar you created in step 1
Tap a calendar entry that you wish to delete
Tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner
Scroll down until you see the Calendar field (on an iPhone or iPod it's usually just below the bottom of the screen), then tap the Calendar field to bring up the list of available calendars
Tap the name of the calendar that you created in step 1 (e.g. "Delete me"); the screen should return to the main calendar entry page
Tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen. You may need to then tap the "< Day" button on the top left of the screen to return to the main calendar view
Repeat the instructions in step 2 for each of the calendar entries that you wish to delete
Delete the calendar that you created in step 2 (this will delete all calendar entries assigned to this calendar)
From the main screen in the calendar app, tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Tap the entry for the calendar that you created in step 2 (e.g. "Delete me")
Scroll to the bottom of the scren and tap the "Delete Calendar" option. You should be prompted with a warning that explains that "All events associated with this calendar will also be deleted."
If you're sure that the only items on this calendar are items that you wish to delete, tap the "Delete Calendar" button
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to exit the Edit Calendars screen
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars. You should now be back at the main view of the calendars app
Rejoice, your pesky repeating calendar events have been deleted
At this point all of the items that you assigned to the deleted calendar should be gone
Repeat the steps above for any entries that you missed
Post another message to this thread if this did not resolve your problem

TS3999 When I add events to my calendar on my mac, they do not show up on my iPhone, however; when I add events on my iPhone, they do show up on my mac... why do they not go both ways?

When I add events on my iphone calendar, they show up on my mac, but when I add events to my claendar on my mac, they do not show up on my iphone, why not?

Is this calendar labelled On My Mac or iCloud in the sidebar?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

All of a sudden my ical will not allow me to add events through the monthly view mode.

All of a sudden my ical wil not allow me to add events throught the monthly display mode. I ahve to go the the daily or the weekly mode.

Hi John,
Thanks so much for wading in. I did exactly what you suggested - glad you gave me the hint about how to access my library files. There was only one document that seemed to have anything to do with cache, and that was called Calendar Cache. (I've attached a screen capture of all the files incase I should have deleted something else as well.) I deleted Calendar Cache then restarted iCal, but after updating I was still unable to add new events.
Is there anything else you can suggest?
Thanks again,
Susan

Why are we being pushed to upgrade to iOS 8 when it isn't compatible with Maverick?

Why are we being pushed to upgrade to iOS 8 when it isn't compatible with Maverick? I just tried to open an iCloud document after upgrading to iOS 8 in all my Apple smart devices and OSX 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro, only to be told that the new iCloud isn't compatible with Maverick and that I should upgrade to Yosemite. Problem is, Yosemite is only available as a Beta and won't have a public release until Oct. 21. Why would Apple cut its users off from iCloud like this?

Checking with my better half, I'm now even more perturbed. According the the iCloud Drive FAQ, it's compatible with PCs running Windows 7. The current Windows OS is 8, which means Apple made iCloud backwardly compatible with Windows, for PC users, but not for its own customers. That *****.
iTunes customers are Apple customers, what are you going on about?

We can't know. You have not provided any system information, not told us what version of AE, details about your artwork, color management and whatnot.

I can no longer EDIT nor VIEW events created in iCal...

I have a problem with my iCal in that I can longer edit nor view events.
I can create events, but only the first line of the details for a new event. I am not able to edit or add more info in any way after that (date, time, details, etc.)
I can delete the event though.
When I say I cannot edit nor view events, this problem occurs when double-clicking, when right/CMD-clicking, choosing the relevant command from the menu, or when typing the keyboard shortcut of either CMD-i or CMD-e.
Nothing works. Nothing happens. It's as if I have chosen to do nothing at all.
I have an iPhone which I use to sync events between my Mac and my iPhone, but without being able to properly create an event on my Mac with a chosen time and alarm, etc. iCal on my Mac is almost useless. All my events now have to be created on my iPhone - even when I am sitting right in front of my Mac.
The only use my Mac's iCal is to me now is for pop-up reminders after an event from my iPhone has been synced to my Mac.
The problem I am having with iCal is happening with all the calendars I have set up.
I have no online subscriptions, everything's local.
I have my iPhone set to auto-sync with my Mac for all data.
I am running the latest versions of iCal, the Mac OS (Leopard), the latest iPhone OS, etc.
I tried deleting all my iCal preferences from the ~username/Library/Preferences, but that didn't work.
I tried deleting all my calendars from within iCal in case there was a corrupt calendar, but that didn't work.
I trashed everything I could find that had anything to do with iCal (knowing I could restore from a recent Time-Machine backup), but still nothing worked.
Even when I had an empty iCal to work with, creating a test new-event revealed the same problems of not being able to edit the event after the first line.
I have since restored all my data from the backup I did the other day, so I am back to square one - not that anything I tried before this actually moved me off square one in any way...
Can anyone help me here? It's getting really frustrating having to type all my events out on the iPhone screen, especially when I'm sitting at my computer.

Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

Automatic event creater in iCal

I work at a school that has a seven day cycle: A through G days. I am trying to create a workflow that will automatically create events (my classes) for each day in my cycle. For example, this Thursday will be an A Day, and I will have one class from 9:25 to 10:15 and another class from 2:00 to 2:45. Then on Friday (B Day), I will have those classes on different times. Monday (C Day) again different times. Then the following Monday will be an A Day because the cycle repeats itself every seven school days. Very complicated, I know. So what I want to do is plug into iCal all of the lettered days of the year and create a workflow that automatically adds events depending on the day of the cycle. Here’s the flow I want to create, but I can’t find the right action in Automator:
1.Find iCal events with the name “A Day”
2.Create new event that day called “Class 1” from 9:25 to 10:15
3.Create new event that day called “Class 2” from 2:00 to 2:45
The problem is that I can’t find an action that will allow me to create an event based on the date based on the input. Make sense?

Hi,
Hope you haven't done this manually yet!
Try:
1) Find Events in iCal
- Find "Events"
- Whose "Calendar" is "School Days" and whose "Summary" is equal to "A Day"
2) Run AppleScript
on run {input, parameters}
set letterday_startdates to {}
repeat with i from 1 to count of the input
set letter_day to item i of the input
tell application "iCal"
set letterday_startdates to (letterday_startdates & (start date of the letter_day))
end tell
end repeat
repeat with i from 1 to count of letterday_startdates
set letterday_startdate to item i of letterday_startdates
-- Class 1
set Class1_Start to (date "9:25 am" in letterday_startdate)
set Class1_End to (date "10:15 am" in letterday_startdate)
-- Class 2
set Class2_Start to (date "2:00 pm" in letterday_startdate)
set Class2_End to (date "2:45 pm" in letterday_startdate)
tell application "iCal"
tell calendar "School Days"
make new event at the end of events with properties {summary:"Class 1", start date:Class1_Start, end date:Class1_End}
make new event at the end of events with properties {summary:"Class 2", start date:Class2_Start, end date:Class2_End}
end tell
end tell
end repeat
return input
end run
You would then either have to change the class times in the AppleScript for each A-G day, or make 7 different workflows with the same actions, just configured for each school day. For example, workflow A has "A Day" in the first action and the times for A Day classes in the run applescript. Workflow B has "B Day" in the first action and the times for B Day classes in the run applescript, etc.
Hope it helps!

Why are birthdays showing twice in ical

Why do Bithdays appear twice in ICal

It's bad design. It's not anticipating the result of the way they've implemented iCloud and the crazy, unintuitive way that you set up iCloud in System Preferences: Instead of taking you through a well-explained set of questions, the answers to which give you the results you expect (something like Mail) - Apple designers have gone for a spartan and elegant look, and dire and ambiguous warnings. It's like a bad, little time-wasting puzzle.
The iCloud Preference Pane should have been thoroughly tested. But the Apple designers knew what they meant. and feeling assured that the keeners in the Mac Communities will eventually figurre out a fix, post it somewhere, and you'll be able Google it and fix it yourself, they just left it like that.
It's the evolution of Apple culture.
(and yes I have the same problem, and no, I haven't found the fix yet.)

Events created in iCal on iPhone 5s not appearing in iCal

I've just upgraded to an iPhone 5s and retired everything from iTunes yet when I create an event in the calendar on the phone the events don't show up. Does anyone have an idea how to rectify this? iOS is 7.0.4

The default calendar on all three (iPhone, iCloud, and iMac) is "Calendar" which is, of course, an iCloud calendar.
If I add events to any of the calendars on my iMac (calendar, work, home), they sync to iCloud and my iPhone.
If I add events to any calendar on my iPhone (calendar, work, home), they do NOT sync and stay only on the iPhone.
Any other ideas? I really need my calendar to sync correctly for work!

Why are 2 identical events created in iCal on my mac when I add event from mail ?
