Why does Vine Server not start with this script and work with the other?

I have the preferences of Vine Server set to start/run automatically when opening the programme.
If I double click the icon it works. Opens and starts.
If I use
activate application "Vine Server"
it opens but does not start.
If I use:
tell application "Finder"
activate
open application file "Vine Server.app" of folder "Vine Server 3" of folder "Applications" of startup disk
end tell
it opens and starts.
Anybody any idea as to why?
This seems to happen since I upgraded form 10.4 to 10.5.

Hello
Do you have multiple versions of Vine Server application, perhaps?
If so, that might cause the described behaviour.
You may try using full path to the current Vine Server application such as -
activate application "/Applications/Vine Server 3/Vine Server.app"
or -
tell application "/Applications/Vine Server 3/Vine Server.app" to activate

Why does my mac sometimes freeze when waking up?

Why does my mac sometimes freeze when waking up? It only happens sometimes, but also happens spontaneously. 21' iMac 2011 model. It just started recenlty after a new firmware update from apple. Any advice or reasons why would be appreciated.

boot to lion recovery and run verify/repair on the hard drive. verify will say: appears to be okay OR needs to be repaired. No matter what outcome, you will repair anyways (as it will do some updating on the volume)
Process: hold command R during startup/ wait till you see mac os utility (might have to select english as the main language first) then disk utility/ select macintosh HD on the left, and then verify/repair on the right bottom side. Cheers!

Why does Illustrator CS4 save pdfs with clipping paths and make rasters of gradient areas

I am on a IMAC and upgraded to 10.6.8 Jan 2014. I am using CS4 Illustrator to create with. When i save my work as a pdf then reopen the pdf in Ill to make changes, the whole page has:
A.) Multiple clipping paths around it
B.) Most text has now become outlined. Not editable anymore.
C.) Gradient areas have multiple clipping paths of the single gradient area
D.) The gradient areas now become rasterized.
This is very frustrating as now all of my marketing files, some 300+, are worthless. I don't know where to look anymore to find the problem.
Please help.
Thank you very much

John,
I have the presets as you have shown. I had been editing the supplied items as you suggested. Then figured i should ask the questions of those who are better than I.
But still a bit confused as to why the new save places clipping paths around the document.
Thank you John and Monika for your help.
why does Illustrator CS4 save pdfs with clipping paths and make rasters of gradient areas
created by John Mensinger in Illustrator - View the full discussion
I do a save as "pdf" in the format pull down tab. I save to a folder on the hard drive. Where is the "Illustrator editability" check box? I presumed it is in Acrobat some where
but i seem to be lost.
It is in Illustrator's Save Adobe PDF dialog, which pops up before the saved file is written.

Sorry i didn't mention this, but this seems to have occurred when using images and text from provided pdfs.
That's a critical fact. If you didn't do the original save, the above is moot, and it's too late to exercise any control over the save process. Someone else failed to save for editability. The only thing you can do is clean up/repair the content, (release clipping masks, rebuild rasterized elements, expand objects, etc.), and save correctly as AI. Then, if necessary, re-save as PDF with the correct settings.

How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?

I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:
The printer is out of ink.
The following ink cartridges are empty: Magenta. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing.
How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?
Mac OSX 10.7.3

I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!! I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!
You should be ashamed!!

PowerBook starts up in black and white

My PowerBook G4 is starting up in black and white instead of color. I'm running System 10.3.4. All the display settings are set for color. When I startup from the install disk the display is color. I've tried re-installing the system, but it still starts in black and white.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Try going to System Preferences/Universal access/Seeing - and switching the black on white settings.

Why can't I use the fade to black and white option in iMovie '11?

I have a project that uses a few photos with one minute duration timers I want to slowly fade from color to black and white but the fade to options are all greyed out... Am I over looking something or doing something wrong?

Exiled Angel wrote:
....it's the color in the pictures I want to gradually reduce the saturation on until they are black and white before the transitions start, not fade in or out to a black or white screen like you are suggesting.
Sorry, but I wasn't suggesting that you use Fade to Black or Fade to White, just explaining what they do, given that you used the term "fade" in your first post. I assumed you may have been using the Fade to Black transition (which won't achieve what you want).
I suggested that you use Cross Dissolve, but I need to explain further how to achieve the effect you are looking for. First, you need to place a copy of the photo directly after the original. Make sure Ken Burns is turned off - use Fit. Now double-click on the copy to bring up the Clip Inspector. Click on Effects and select Black & White, then click Done. Drag a Cross Dissolve transition between the 2 clips (photos) and adjust the duration to your liking in the Inspector. Now you will see the effect your are looking for.
The key is to have an exact copy of the photo following the original, then change the copy to Black and White (or Sepia or any other effect), then insert the Cross Dissolve (or Cross Blur etc.) transition.
Hope that''s what you are looking for!
John

Problems with Photoshop black and whites...?

After comparing the black&white colours from Photoshop to Paint, I noticed that the black&whites isn't as "sharp" in Photoshop. I also noticed that the white colours isn't really "white" since I wasn't able to fill the white parts instantly with the Paint Bucket Tool, unlike using Fill in the Paint program. Does anyone know how I can get around this?

There can be several things that could effect your issue. If you are using a color calibration device, it may change your white balance. Check and verify that you really are using pure white when filling, a value of 255, 255, 255 thats red, green, and blue. Check and see what color mode you are in, are you in 8 bit, 16 or 32 bit. Are you in RGB, CMYK, or other color mode.
I am sure there are a few other things, that I haven't thought of at the moment that can effect your issue.
The next question is what do you mean by black and white? or should I say how did you make it that way. Was it already a black and white (grayscale)? or did you convert it in photoshop and if so how. The reason I ask is there are more than one way to convert a color image to black and white and how you do it will effect the final outcome.

Motion with JPEG black and white

When I zoom in on a black and white JPEG photo, it goes out of focus unless I click drop shadow or motion blur. What's going on here? Why does it go out of focus, and why should "drop shadow" or "motion blur" make it sharper?

You editing in a video format designed for television display, but you're not monitoring on the correct device. The addititional effects you apply make the image more acceptable on a computer screen but defeat the format for what it's designed. If you working in video you have to monitor on a video display, regardless of your final delivery format.

Y70-70 screen : problems with the black and white colors

Hi all, I just bought a Lenovo Y70-70 Touch and already encountered several problems with the screen :- I had to change the notebook twice because of clearer zones on the black and because of dead pixels- The model I have now still presents irregularities in the black : if the screen is black, I can still see a few clearer zones on it, especially (but not exclusively) on the edges- concerning the white, I am a bit disappointed too : this color present zones that are sometimes ok, sometimes more yellow. Even if it is subtle, I nevertheless particularily see this effect when reading or typing, due to an optical effect that amplifies the phenomenom when text is displayed which tires my eyes. I also see it on colors like beige or grey. As I use this computer to play but also to work, it is uncomfortable. What I would like to know is if these problems are inherent to the screen, or if it is a defect. What should I do ? Did other people encounter the same problems ? I didn't find any setting to improve it. I found that these problems may be linked to these, reported on the Y50-70, supposing the screens of both models are the same (which I don't know) :- https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Y50-Yellow-Dark-Yellow-Screen-Calibration/td-p/1868613- http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RCQNONXIKJJ5D/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00MCJQ6MI#RCQNONXIKJJ5D Othewise this notebook is OK, playing with it is a real pleasure. Thank you for your answer,S.

Q: How do I Mask/Layer a color photo with a black and white photo?

This is what I want to do. I've done it before but cannot remember for the life of me how to do it again. I want to put a color photo under (its own) black and white photo and then erase or remove or something (I can't remember the tool to do it) but I want to be able to see some of the color photo in my black and white photo. For example, say I have a pic of the Disneyland Castle. I want to make the pic black and white and then with a layer or mask (whichever one) have the exact colors of the picture underneith it show up after I have used the paint brush to remove the black and white...is anyone understanding me? When I did it before I know I did it in only a few steps, it wasn't super complicated, and I'm probably stupid for not knowing how to do it now. Thanks!
Lindsey Henry

Lindsey,
First, look at the Channels in the B/W. Probably, you can use one of those as a Selection and then as a Layer Mask. If not perfect, then you can likely get close. If you need to, you might want to Blend more than one of those Channels.
If you have an issue "collecting" the Channels, just get your B/W into a separate Image, and then drag individual Channels back to your composite image, and use them, as is necessary.
Hope that some of those ideas are useful,
Hunt
BTW - turn OFF the color for Channels, so that you can see them as B/W, as that will help you see their makeup.

Why does my MAC sometimes crash when coming out of sleep mode?

My mac freezea sometimes when coming out of sleep mode, and occasionally the screen will go black. At other times I will be using the MAC and it will just freeze. The only way to get out of it is to kill power and reboot. It seems to be happening more frequently.
It was suggested that I fix permissions and start in sleep mode. This has helped in the past, and I am going to do it again now. I also recently upgraded to 10.6.8, and after that the crashes were fewer, but now they are increasing again.
I am including a log of the recent crash a few minutes ago.

Okay thanks, but I am a newbie who is not a very tech kind of a person. The only periphals I have are a kodak camera dock, a Canon 310 copier/fax/scanner and a pair of altec speakers. How do I determine if they all have drivers for my MAC? They all seem to work okay, if that is a sign, though the Kodak camera Dock is a bit slow. How also do I determine if they are Apple energy compatible? With each of these peripherals, do I simply disconnect them from my MAC one at a time to see if there improvement?

Why does my mac sometimes start with a black and white fizzy screen at times? Should i be concerned?
