  • Why do I have lines when I use the pattern tool ? is it an illustrator bug ? When I register it in .pdf or .jpg the line disappear ?

    Hello,
    When I use the pattern tool via the window which is here : object / patter / create --> and I choose in the mosaic style by brick columns I have this result : http://bit.ly/1nozEl3
    I don't understand why do I have those lines ? thanks for helping.

    Hello Jacob,
    Thanks for responding.
    Yes, it's seems to be a screen artifact, when I zoom they seem to move or disappear but they're still here.
    With SVG, it's the same.
    When I untick Anti-aliased Artwork, the artifact disappear, but my designs change, no more precision ! Have a look here :  http://bit.ly/UyGoVe
    Any other solution ?
    Thanks

  • Do we have to pay to use the chat support?

    I submitted a question to the Adobe Digital Edition and they replied saying to contact Adobe Live Chat.  I did so and when I typed in my question they asked if I wanted to buy the support package and because I said no I couldn't get connected to the chat line.  Now my problem is still not solved, having too many devices on my account when I only have 3 devices on the account and I am trying to connect 2 more devices? 

    For some more advanced support they may charge.
    They certainly shouldn't for clearing all your DRM device registrations.
    The Adobe registration system seems quite error prone, as well as the irritation of no website to check and update them.
    It may well be that it has miscounted, maybe if you registered a device more than once.
    I have heard that some representatives don't know how to reset the registrations; in that case hang up and try another representative and hope they are better trained.
    If your problem is with another device using Overdrive, Bluefire, Aldiko or similar third party app, it is recommended not to mention that app when on the chat, just mention that you have run out of authorizations  (E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS) .  Thanks to AJP_Bear for that tip.

  • HT4859 What do I have to do to use the iCloud with a Mac having OS x 10.7.5?

    I get to the iCloud from System Preferences, but I can't get the mac to start backing up the Address Book or any thing else. I need an app that  replaces the Settings>iCloud>Backup & Storage panels of the "iCloud: Back and restore overview" document.
    I'm assuming that Mountain Lion has this app, but I'm not going to upgrade because users comments show that Mountain Lion is a dissaster, reminds me on Microsoft foibles or other times. 

    Hi,
    You may either add the device and the drivers will obtain via Software Update, for full functionality you may also install the full feature software from the HP site:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-96135-2 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=5063582&sw_lang=
    Be sure to check the HP REcommended Software option while installing, reboot your Mac after the installation done and run Software Update.

  • Why do i have to pay £25 to end my contract?

    Hiya
    I was wondering if anyone can tell me why i have to pay a £25 administration fee because my contract has come to an end and i dont want to continue it. Of course i am used to BTs hidden fees but i dont think this is fair as i cant see what i am paying for. I agreed to 12months and in that time i have paid over the odds anyway so why should i have to pay more now the contract is up? has anyone else been told they have to pay this?
    thanks

    Solved!

    You agreed to the T&C's when you signed up with BT Broadband, if you had requested a MAC to move to another ISP then there would be no fee.
    Just looked at the T&C's I see they are putting it up to £30 from October, its amazing how much it costs to push a couple of buttons.
    Just to be clear, this charge isn't just BTBroadband, and it involves rather more than just pushing a couple of buttons !
    It's a charge made to all Service Providers, for the cost incurred in physically disconnecting the line from the DSL equipment, so that somebody else can use it.  Openreach don't do these things for nothing !
    If a MAC is used to migrate to another Service Provider, the actual cessation is deferred until the provision of the broadband service through A.N.Other ISP, and is rolled up into the provision cost that's charged to the new ISP - who often doesn't pass this cost on to the customer directly, but it's recouped in the course of the 12/18/24 month minimum term that the new customer agrees to.

  • I have a mac 10.5.8, Why do i have to pay for the 10.6 update?

    Friends of mine have Mac's and had the update with no hassle free of charge, so why do i have to pay?

    Hi,
    The current upgrade to Snow Leopard is only $29.00 available here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    The Apple Discussions TOU prevents us from discussing when the next upgrade will be available or how much it will cost.
    See: Terms of Use
    There's no guarantee you won't be able to upgrade directly from Leopard v10.5 to v10.7. You are better off upgrading to Snow Leopard now especially if you want to use the Mac App Store.

  • Verizon's failure, why do I have to pay?

    As a long-time - and still current - customer of Verizon, I'm shocked at how poorly I am being treated. I cancelled my phone in December because my company gave me a phone (also Verizon). At that time I gave Verizon my new mailing address, email, and phone number- which they did not update in their system. So they continued to mail my final bill to my old address, which never made it to me, until now.
    They did not email, they did not call; they instead sent the bill to collections. I called Verizon and paid the outstanding bill, come to find out after the fact that I am also required to pay the fee for collections. They, however, did not tell me this at the time I made my payment (another mistake by Verizon), I was informed by the collection agency that I am required to pay them or my credit report will be negatively affected. Verizon dropped the ball. They did not send the bill to the right address, they did not call, they did not email. The sent it to collections.
    Of course no one at Verizon will work with me, a good customer. I'm waiting for someone's supervisor to call, yet I have little faith that they will give a crap about little ol' me. I just want Verizon to take some accountability for their shortcomings in this situation. Why do I have to pay for their mistake? What more should I have done? This is unfair.

    I verified my information over the phone with a customer service representative when I called to cancel my account. I'm not sure how I could have verified that they properly put this into the system, other than getting verbal confirmation - which I did. They got the new email address correct, I know this because when I called this week to settle my bill, I received a confirmation to the correct email address. However, the mailing address apparently was not updated properly - as per my request - in the system. If you go into MyVerizon under Account Profile, your billing address is listed along with the option to change it. By making changes to your account, you have real time confirmation of the changes. - So you're saying not to trust the customer service representatives? I'm required to make sure they do simple tasks properly? Besides, I was canceling my account - why would I then go online to change my account that I just cancelled - especially since I just verbally gave my new information? Again, the root of this issue that you are not responding to goes back to the fact that the customer service representative did not do as I requested and update my address - which is why I never received notification. Had this been done properly, none of this would have happened.
    I just received a pile of mail from the post office of mail that did not get transferred to my new address - of which included the bill from Verizon and the notification from collections. I had assumed that the lack of correspondence - via mail, email and phone - from Verizon meant that my account was settled. Personally, I don't make it a habit of calling businesses and asking them if I owe them money. I expect them to contact me. Unless you sign up for email notifications from Verizon for you bill, they will not send it via that method. It appears that they DID try to contact you when they sent the bill to your old address. It also appears that you failed to use a FREE service from the US Postal Service which forwards your mail to a new address for up to a year. I have done this in the past, it works and only delays mail for a few days. Plenty of time to get your final bill in time for payment without being overdue. I can understand not contacting businesses to see if you owe them money, but you cancelled service. If I were to cancel service, I would assume that I either owed money or due a refund and would make sure which it was. - I was set up to receive email notifications from Verizon - a service I used for that account for years.  I did have my mail forwarded through the post office, but some was still delivered to the old address anyway and it just made it's way to me now. Verizon's lack of contact with me lead me to believe that either 1)the account was settled, or 2)any remaining balance was transferred to my new account - which I do not see the bill for as my company pays for it.
    Why would Verizon not try to contact me via email or phone? Sending an overdue bill to collections is a big deal - it affects my credit report. Does Verizon care so little about it's customers that they wouldn't even try to contact by email before making such a drastic move?Even if simply to verify the mailing address?This seems to be as much your failing(if not more) as it is Verizon's failing. As you say, it is YOUR credit report, not Verizon's. You have more of a stake in this than they do, why wouldn't you follow up in this matter? Even if simply to verify the mailing address? - Again, going back to the root of this issue - CUSTOMER SERVICE. I should be able to expect that if I tell someone my new address, it will be reflected in the system. I should be able to assume that I would be notified by email for a matter like this, especially since they have my email and have permission to use it and had been using it for years to notify me of bills, why stop now? Why is the buck passed to me to pay this new fee for a mistake that originated with Verizon? Why can't Verizon admit any wrong doing at the root of this issue - where they dropped the ball?

  • HT1711 Why do I have to pay extra for something that I already bought? Shouldn't I be able to have access to my music even if its not through apple? This is ridiculous when I go to the store and buy a CD I'm not relegated to only playing it on one CD play

    Why do I have to pay extra for something that I already bought? Shouldn't I be able to have access to my music even if its not through apple? This is ridiculous when I go to the store and buy a CD I'm not relegated to only playing it on one CD player

    iTunes Plus is the name for the option in iTunes that allows customers to buy music at the iTunes Store that is free from digital rights management, or DRM.
    Digital Rights Management, or DRM, is designed to prevent unauthorized sharing of files. This especially became a big concern for the music industry after the rise of Napster, Limewire, and Kazaa.
    DRM, even the DRM used by Apple on iTunes Store content, prevented that. Apple's DRM allowed users to share files on only up to 5 computers.
    According to TUAW, the new iTunes Plus songs have information embedded in them that identifies the user who bought and shared them by name.
    This means that if you share your music and record companies want to track you down and sue for you copyright infringement, it's going to be easy.
    This may help you understand why you would need iTunes Plus - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1711.
    It may be that Android required that type of file to be able to let it sync.  See here - http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html.

  • Why do I have to pay for iPages when I already have it on my computer?

    My iCloud home page shows five icons including iWork. When I click on the iWork icon I am shown a link that takes me to the iTunes store where I am asked to pay $9.99 for each of the iWork components. I already have these installed on my iMac. Why do I have to pay for them again?

    Different operating systems. Your iMac runs OS X and the iWork
    applications you have on your iMac are written for OS X. On your
    iDevice, the operating system is iOS and you would need a version
    of the apps written for that. If you are not planninig to use the apps
    on your iDevice (iPhone, iPad, some iPods), you do not need to
    buy them. Having the apps on your iDevices provides instant
    syncing of documents across the iDevices using iCloud. iCloud
    does not provide Google App-like operation if that is what you are
    seeking. If this does not answer your question, perhaps someone
    else will chime in.

    Why do we have to pay extra for forms central notifications? Very greed!

    Hi;
    The Free offering of FormsCentral provides users with a lot of useful features.  There has to be a line somewhere for the subscription level service and Email Receipts and Notifications are part of that premium service.
    This table shows features you have in the Free version and what the two paid subsctiptions add: https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/features/compare-plans.html

  • I pay for Photoshop Touch on my phone why do I have to pay again for my tablet?

    I pay for Photoshop Touch on my phone why do I have to pay again for my tablet?

    The tablet version came out some months before the phone version, if I recall.
    Not sure why the decision was made to make them two separate apps. I can say that they're practically the same app, just that one's UI is designed for tablets while the other is designed for phones. You can't use the tablet version in portrait orientation on a tablet. Likewise, you can't use the phone version in landscape orientation. This all may change. Autodesk's SketchBook tablet app could only work in one orientation (landscape) until a few versions later where it could finally change to either landscape or portrait.
