Why Does my text disappear when filling a text box?

I am trying to fill a text box a little larger than a sheet of paper (8.5x11). I have typed my statement and copied and pasted it end to end so that my text box will be filled with a repeating statement. When the text box gets about 1/5th full I get a little red plus sign in the lower right corner to indicate overflow. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. The box is only 1/5th full and should not be rendering an over flow. Even if it was an over flow the text in the box should remain visible. Hyphenation is on. Dragging the corners to resize the box is not helpful.
I have drawn many text boxes and used various size fonts and leading, nothing seems to help.
Illustrator CS3
Macintosh dual-Intel

Something is definitely corrupt here. Not only does the text extend beyond the displayed bounding box, but double-clicking on the Characters line in the Appearance panel shows "No Selection," even though the bounding box still shows, and the text vanishes. Attempts to edit the text on the artboard also cause it to vanish.
When I create a new type object in your document and follow your described procedure, the result is the normal, expected behavior. Have you tried to repeat this in a new document? After restarting Illustrator? After rebooting your computer? After deleting the preferences?

Why does my image disappear when I create a slice?

I am trying to create a simple rollover where the font size is changed when the mouse hovers over the link. When I create a slice of the text area, the image disappears. Can anyone tell me why and how to correct this? I have viewed several tutorials, so I am confident that I have created the 2 states properly and am applying the slice correctly, but for some reason the image disappears in both states when I do.

Thanks, Jim. Can you tell me how I can determine if I have the correct slice type selected (image vs HTML)?

Why does more info disappear when I choose get info

When I download a file and choose "Get info," I can see the dimensions (if it is a graphic file), color space, and the URL source under "More info." When I close Get info and reopen it again, that information disappears and never comes back. Why isn't this information saved and how do I get it back?

Hi ryandoss-
There appears to be some slow performance after signing in. This presents a blank screen. (If you wait long enough, you should see the content load).
We are working to resolve this issue. Sorry about the trouble. And, thanks for your patience.

Why does my image disappear when I click on it to enlarge?

I am using iPhoto '11, version 9.4.3 When I click on a single photo from an event to see and enlarge it, the image disappears, and what I see is a black screen with a large triangle and an exclamation point inside the triangle. What does this mean? I don't think the photo is actually disappeared because I can still see it in the smaller size.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why does blue dot disappear when opening mail

When I click on the mail icon to go to my "in" box, the "in" box opens properly, but them immediately the blue dots next to new, unread emails disappear and unless I noticed, I can't visually see which emails are unread. How do I fix this so the blue dots stay until I open the actual message?

Will obviously have to ensure all video and audio is fully ready for output then add the titles and export to disc without shutting down.
Have you tried exporting a video yet?
You might be disappointed to find that the titles don't render either - even if you do export before shutting down.
So I hate to make the bug even worse without any help whatsoever ;-) but that's the state of this bug as I know it.
If you can get any titles done at all, you're seriously lucky as far as I'm concerned.
This has already been discussed in other threads. It is a really rotten series of bugs - I hope they're embarrased enough to get a fix out soon (ie before the 2012 release).
I mean, who cares about professional features when you can't use titles?

Why does the gradient disappear when I export my document to PDF?

I have used gradient tool on simple black lines to make them fade out as they reach the edge of the document. When I export the document to PDF the lines are simply black, no gradient whatsoever. I'm a beginner at this. I'm putting together something for a wedding, and really need to fix this pronto! HELP!

Version of InDesign? OS? Print or Export to PDF and settings used?
What sort of gradient did you apply? Some screen shots of the line in ID and the PDF would help.

Why does added text disappear when I move the cursor

After adding text to an unprotected .pdf file the text disappears when I move the cursor and want to add a second box of text. The text in the first box reappears when I double click on the space where the box was. How do I set the text so that it remains visible and printable?

Hi,
I think the data in the PDF file was filled-in using MAC preview.
One option is to ask the user to fill the file again using Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Or else refer to following link:

Why does it take so long to send text messages on iPhone 5?

What is telling you that it takes a long time? Do you have a good cellular signal when trying to send a text. Text messages are controlled by the carrier. What troubleshooting have you done on the phone?

Why does ArrayList implement List when extending AbstractList

Hi
I am unable to understand why would the ArrayList class implement the List interface, when it is already extending the AbstarctList class. If anyone can explain, it would be a great help.

Why does ArrayList implement List when extendingAbstractList
It is a question of style. ArrayList'simplementing
List is a crucial piece of information, whereasits
extending AbstractList is a kind of implementation
detail. If would not matter much to the user if it
did not extend AbstractList but implemented List
directly.So why don't those subclasses of ArrayList step up
and implement List again? I agree, extending
ArrayList is an implementation detail, and in fact
perhaps they should have made ArrayList a field
rather than a superclass...Because those subclasses job is not to be a List but to be an extension of ArrayList. In general if you wanted to be a List you would be extending AbstractList. You don't just implement List because you happen to have the right methods, you implement List because you feel being a List is part of that classes main behavior.
Its a suttle point but I feel its more than a matter of style. Its a matter of correctness.
Also, ArrayList could use composition by having an AbstractList member within itself. In this case it would implement List as well and achieve the same result. Letting users know it intends to fill the role of a List.

HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

Why does RoboHelp 8 crash when compiling merged HTML help after deleting a child project in TOC

Why does RoboHelp 8 crash when compiling merged HTML help after deleting a child project in TOC? I would be grateful for any assistance.
Here's the situation:
-- I recently upgraded from RoboHelp X5 to RoboHelp 8. I upgraded my projects to RoboHelp 8 projects.
-- One large help system I manage is built such that there is one master project and about 25 child projects. Each of these is its own item in the master project TOC.
-- In RoboHelp X5 I never had any trouble deleting these.
-- However now in RoboHelp 8, whenever I delete one (by opening TOC pod, right-clicking on item in question, and clicking Delete), and proceed to "Generate Primary Layout" (MS HTML Help), the generation/compilation process proceeds as far as "Generating full-text search data" and then the whole program crashes!
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug in the software? I have installed patches 8.0.1 and 8.0.2.
Once again, I thank you in advance for any pointers.
