Why can't I "change one corner of rounded rectangle to a point"?

Change one corner of rounded rectangle to a point. This was in a recent emailing of InDesign Magazine's Tip of the Week. I do what it says but it doesn't work.
It says to draw a rectangle. I do. Fine.
It says to apply rounded corners. I do. Fine.
It says, "select the path you want to expand..." I don't.
The only path is the one that goes around the whole rectangle.
It sends me to Window > Object and Layout > Pathfinder.
Those choices don't exist.
So I never get to the later instructions.
I use ID CS v. 3.0.1.
Could these be instructions for a later version?
Or am I missing something?
Thank you.

You need to select the rounded rectangle and the small rectangle that you'll be combining to use that technique.
There was also a script called CornerEffects.jsx that shipped as one of the samples on the disk (I don't recall anymore if CS3 installs them by default, but I beleive it does). You can apply the rounded corner to only some of the corners using that script, and leave others square.

Which email site do you use?
And some general advice:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Live Corners - Change one corner individually - I've tried what the tutorials say to do

Live Corners: I can't change only one corner at a time when holding alt/option while clicking (or when I click and drag) the widget with the direct selection tool. Instead it changes all the corners at once. How do I get it to change one corner individually?

Agreed, the steps in the video cannot be reproduced faithfully in the current software (18.0.0). Granted when he talks about changing the radius of a corner independently he selects a control point. Earlier however he appears to change a single corner style with the entire shape selected. This I cannot do.
As far as I can tell there is no reason why the operation ALT/OPT + manipulation of the corner widget can't result in single control of that radius. The ALT/OPT key along with the white arrow tool doesn't seem to be any different than with no modifier key.
The tool is a very good idea on the whole but the intuitive approach should be the one that works.

Why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows with iTunes 10.5.1?

why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows since iTunes 10.5.1?

Assuming Apple doesn't eviscerate the files of the secondary graphics with another upgrade, there could be a plug in that reads the graphic and runs along side iTunes..we should get someone or Apple to program an alternative If we have to accept this downgrade in iTunes proper.
I've developed a quick workaround, and am still hoping Apple will fix this!
Go To Get Info on the tune you want to see secondary artwork for.
Go To the Artwork tab
Drag the back cover to the desktop, and it will create a new jpg you can open with quick viw or prieview where you can see it large!
you end up with a lot of jpgs on the desktop to discard!

Why can't I change my apple id / email address associated with my apple id ?

My apple id is associated with a gmail address.
I wan't to change it to something else.
So I went to: appleid.apple.com ---> Change apple id ---> Typed in new email address (everything shows green) ---> Hit Save.-->Edit box disappears as if everything went ok ----> But the box showing my apple id, still shows the gmail address!
It still shows my gmail address!! Doesn't send any verification email or anything! No matter what I do, it doesn't let me change it from my gmail address!
It let me change my password though, and also let me change my rescue email address.

HT201210 Why can't I change the location of my device backups?

Why can't I change the location of my device backups?
iTunes seems to force me to use my c:\ drive as the destination for all backups.
Background: I have set up my c:\ drive only for programs - all data is stored on separate drives - including my iTunes library and all media. So, I can't skinny down the c:\ drive any more without uninstalling programs.
The issue is that my 10,000 rpm, 280 GB - C:\ drive is fast but small and is now FULL after I got about 1/2 way through a 128 GB backup of my ipad. (Yes, all movies have been deleted off of the iPad to minimize the size of the backup.)
I deleted the partial iPad backup, moved all the Mobile Applications to another drive, emptied the recycle bin and tried again with my much smaller iPhone. You guessed it: the io7 update hung and both of my devices are now paper weights.
Which leaves me f*cked, anyone know how I can un-f myself?

iTunes movies are not part of an iDevice backup.
Videos & photos you take with the camera (in the Camera roll) are part of the backup but those should be sync'd to the computer and removed from the camera roll.

Why can't I change qty of Transfer Order

hi,guys
I had allow partially delivery goods in order, but when I created Transfer Order from delivery order, I found that I can not change pick qty in transfer order, I used LT03 to create transfer order, so, why can't I change pick qty in transfer order, it is gery!!!

Hi there,
If you want to process only a partial quantity, then you have to create delivery only for a partial quantity.
In a transfer order TO you have to pick the entire delivery quantity. Partial picking is not allowed in TO. Quantity field is blank in TO.
For eg if you have 100 items in a sales order, but you want to process only 50 now. So create a delivery for 50 items & process TO. If you create delivery for 100 items, do picking in TO for all the 100 items. Just processing TO for 50 items is not permitted. This means that all quantities in delivery has to be picked to PGI.

Why can't I change the transparent color and font color in IOS 7?

Who thought all this WHITE AND TRANSPARENT color looks appealing?
Why can't I change the color of the folders and text?
I already tried inverting the colors and then it washes out the photos I use as my wallpaper.
I love everything, so far, except this transparent issue.

That's very sad those colors can't be changed. They really look ugly.
Thanks for responding.

Why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

I was trying to change the transaction isolation level from an EJB. My source codes are shown as the follows:
======================================================
/*********************** Database Routines *************************/
private void makeConnection() {
try {
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = ( DataSource )ic.lookup( dbName );
con = ds.getConnection();
DatabaseMetaData dmd = con.getMetaData();
show_supported_trans_levels( dmd );
int status = con.getTransactionIsolation();
System.out.print( "1. " );
disp_tx_status( status );
System.out.println( "con.isReadOnly() = " + con.isReadOnly() );
con.setTransactionIsolation( Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE );
System.out.print( "2. " );
disp_tx_status( status );
} catch( SQLException ex ) {
System.err.println( "SQLException: " + ex.toString() );
throw new EJBException("Unable to connect to database. " +
ex.getMessage());
} catch( NamingException ex ) {
System.err.println( "NamingException: " + ex.toString() );
throw new EJBException("Unable to connect to database. " +
ex.getMessage());
private void disp_tx_status( int status )
System.out.print( "Transaction Status: " );
switch( status )
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED" );
break;
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED" );
break;
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ" );
break;
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE" );
break;
case( Connection.TRANSACTION_NONE ):
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_NONE" );
break;
default:
System.out.println( "UNKNOWN" );
break;
private void show_supported_trans_levels( DatabaseMetaData dmd ) throws SQLException
System.out.println( "List of Supported Transaction Isolation Levels: " );
if( dmd.supportsTransactionIsolationLevel( Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED ) )
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED is supported!" );
else
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED is unsupported!" );
if( dmd.supportsTransactionIsolationLevel( Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED ) )
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED is supported!" );
else
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED is unsupported!" );
if( dmd.supportsTransactionIsolationLevel( Connection.TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ ) )
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ is supported!" );
else
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ is unsupported!" );
if( dmd.supportsTransactionIsolationLevel( Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE ) )
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is supported!" );
else
System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is unsupported!" );
=========================================================
However, I encountered the following exception when running at the highlighted statement:
======================================================
SQLException: java.sql.SQLException: Transaction manager errors. statement not allowed in XA Session.
======================================================
To my surprise, the isolation level TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is supported from the database vendor. So why can't I change the transaction isolation level?
