Why does applying a gradient to text turn it black, but the text accepted the gradient fill?

This seems utterly illogical.  The text now has the gradient fill in its fill slot.  But it's black. 
Thoughts?
Reasoning?

You cannot apply a gradient to individual characters, hence at the character level if you started with green type, applied a gradient, your type would turn black (no matter what the original color was) and would not show a gradient.
You would preferably delete that fill (to keep your postscript clean), and then click on "Type No Appearance" . Thsi taeks you to the object level of Type, and apply your gradient here.

  • Why does word startup when Mac is turned on?

    Why does Word startup when computer is turned on? I looked in my startup menu and it is not there.

    Hi I have a similar question. I checked Docl icon and Login Items. Nothing there.
    When my computer boots up I have all Microsoft programs running (word, power point, excel).
    Please help me, it's starting to drive me crazy.
    I have also tried to see if I can disable it in microsoft itself, but no luck.
    thanks

  • Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email?

    Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email? I'm curious to know if anyone else has had this issue with the Iphone 5s...

    imessage has a new setting that shows all emails associated with your apple id.  There are two sections, send and receive.  Since you are using the same apple id, Im sure if you adjust one of those settings to your mobile number instead of your appleid, it wont send double.
    You might also have to adjust your wifes settings too, so those emails dont overlap

  • Why does my 1st gen iPad always turns itself off and goes back to the screen. Whether I'm reading news, iBooks, etc, suddenly it goes off.

    Why does my 1st gen iPad always turns itself off and goes back to the screen. Whether I'm reading news, iBooks, etc, suddenly it goes off.

    If that doesn't help, the battery may be dying and need replacement. See here (tap on Battery Replacement): http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
    Alternately, might consider start saving for a new iPad. The newest iPad 6 should come out in the next few months. When it does, sellers will want to get rid of old inventory with good deals.

  • Why does applying low cut filter increase the gain?

    Here's an already mastered track.
    When I play it with the Channel EQ insert enabled with "low cut" at about 80 Hz, it shows that it's clipping by about 4.7 dB. When I bypass the Channel EQ, however, there's no more clipping (although in the video, it turns red, but it actually says 0.0 so it's really not clipping).
    Why does this happen? I would think that taking out the lower frequencies would make the overall output quieter since there are less frequencies making it through. Can someone please help me understand? Thanks!!
    Video to show what I'm trying to explain:

    That has to do with the Q value and how Low cut and/or High Pass filters behave: if you have a very steep Q setting, there will be boosting "around the edges".
    You are right that this can be an issue, but it doesn't have to be the cause here. There's something more subtle and counter intuitive that can change the signal level even for an amplitude preserving allpass filter.
    The problem is how the level is measured. In a DAW the most important kind of level measure is simply peak amplitude, making it easy to avoid clipping. Unfortunately peak amplitude is not a well behaved or even conserved measure when using linear filters like an allpass or the low cut used by the OP.
    If you had a single sinusoid with constant frequency, then the frequency response of the filter would tell you exactly how its amplitude changes upon filtering. However, if you have a mixture of sinusoids like in any real world signal, the peak amplitude of those does not follow directly from the magnitude response graph, because their phase relationship is also altered by the filter.
    We can even build a filter that has a unit magnitude response, a so called allpass filter, and it is capable of changing the phase relationship of a signal in a way that influences the peak level reading in either direction. You can avoid this effect by restricting yourself to the use of linear-phase filters, which don't introduce relative phase changes. This restriction may be undesirable however, because those filters have quite a few disadvantages too.
    The other way to avoid such confusing effects is to simply rely on the RMS measure instead of the peak level meter. The RMS measure is strictly preserved by allpass filtering and in general the RMS measure of the filtered signal is bounded by the RMS measure of the original signal multiplied by the RMS measure of the filter response.
    So as you understand now, there's nothing broken and you can just turn the fader down a bit and everything will be fine.
    Cheers,
    Jazz

  • Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?

    Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?
    And By hard boot I mean holding the home and power button down at the same time for 10 seconds or whatever
    I see other people have these grainy flash photographs if you try to take a picture in darkness the picture comes out very dark and grainy I thought the software would ultimately fix this but it's been going on for over a year I usually take my photographs in daylight but I need this to be fixed
    If it is a hardware issue I hope Apple will replace my iPhone 5 because I was just waiting for one of the iOS updates to fix it I bought my phone in November 2012 its the iPhone 5
    Please help or advise if you can was this just a software or hardware issue I know Apple was aware of it but I was advised that iOS update would fix it but obviously not
    Is it safe to do a hard boot on my iPhone five by holding the power and home button at the same time for 10 or 20 seconds I saw someone said that fixed there's at least temporarily
    I'm typing this on my iPhone five right now why do the words go off to the left and right no matter if I hold the phone vertical or horizontal the words bleed off to left right so for me to proofread it I have to move my text left to right to proof read it
    Thank you

    The flash on a smartphone camera is tiny. It only lights up a very small area right in front of the camera. It won't light up the whole scene.
    Have you seen the size of the flash on a professional camera? Even they can't light a whole scene in the dark.
    Fact is, a smartphone camera is not capable of taking good photos in the dark, even with the flash.
    You'll need to buy and learn how to use a professional, dedicated SLR camera to be able to take good photos in the dark. It is not easy.

  • Why does my form data gets cleared out when clicking on the back button.

    Can someone explain why does my form selections get cleared out when clicking on the back button.
    I have a JSP page that displays a form with some selections and text boxes. I populate the page and submit the request. The action on the submit call another jsp page, which processes the data and displays the results via a <jsp:include> statement which calls the results page. When clicking on the back button from the results page, it returns me to the form page, but the selections are cleared out.
    1. Is there something in my calling of the pages that causes this behavior and can I prevent it?
    I notice that the behavior is different when using the IE 6.0 version Netscape 7.1. IE clears the page Netscape 7.1 retains the settings.
    If I cannot prevent this behavior does that mean I will have to save the state of the form data. And if I have to save the form data, what would be the easiest method of doing this. I'm a beginner to JSP and Java, but have some ASP experience. I don't understand why the back button in a JSP request clears the form data but a regular HTML page does not can someone explain?
    THANKS.

    the browser doesn't have to remember what you submitted and fill that back in.
    you can't prevent it unless you can ensure a new request to the server in which you can fill the default values in there.

  • Hi I installed a new hard drive in my Mac mini osx lion an when I turn it on I get a flashing file with a question mark. I tried holding command and R keys when turning it on but the recovery fails to work. Does any one know how I can get it to recover?

    Hi I installed a new hard drive in my Mac mini osx lion an when I turn it on I get a flashing file with a question mark. I tried holding command and R keys when turning it on but the recovery fails to work. I can hold the option key at start up and choose my network, then Internet recovery shows up with an arrow pointing up. When I click on the arrow Internet recovery fails and all I get is a globe with a triangle on it with an exclamation mark on it, and under that it says
    apple.com/support
          -6002F
    Does any one know how I can fix this without a recovery disc? Thanks

    I just want to add to this, in case someone else searches for this error on Apple Support (google doesnt cover apple support.. how clever is that?)
    I had the same error. And i had a Computer that had worked, with a SSD drive and 16GB upgrade done by the owner himself.
    I tried swapping with a Mechinal Harddrive, no luck.
    Kept the Mechanical drive in, and tried with some other Ram, it worked..
    So for me this error and after reading the other responses can be boiled down to a Harddrive problem or Ram issue.
    It was Ram for me..
