Why isn't the merge tool working properly?

For instance, if i try to merge two shapes with diferent colours, or if they are with the same color but they dont interfere, the shapes will group, but wont merge. I got two shapes with the same colour and they are intefering, and the paths are closed, and when i try to merge them it will group them. It happens sometimes, but i cant figure out what is it.

You are welcome, Stefan.
I believe different colours have been the (main) stumbling stone.
A few quotes (almost, hopefully reasonably accurate):
Unite traces the outline of all objects as if they were a single, merged object. The resulting shape takes on the paint attributes of the top object.
Merge removes the part of a filled object that is hidden. It removes any strokes and merges any adjoining or overlapping objects filled with the same color.

  • Why isn't the bucket tool working?

    I have several line drawings i did in flash and i can't fill any of them. Iv done all the drawings with the pen tool and they are all sealed but the tool wont let me use it.

    It probably 'isn't' closed. I've seen that many time where you think the line is closed but it's not. Some things to try are to select the whole drawing and zoom in and then try to fill. Or smoothing the lines one time sometimes closes lines that were only one pixel open. Also using the gap size helps a lot. If all else fails you can upload the drawings here and we can try to help further.

  • Why isn't the scroll wheel working properly with Firefox 4?

    I have a new Windows 7 PC at work with Firefox 4 on it. The scroll wheel on my mouse is not working right. It will work if I use Internet Explorer but I have trouble getting it to work with Firefox. Usually what I have to do is click the wheel to get that mode of scrolling where you move the mouse up and down to scroll the screen and that will work. And then when I click the wheel again to get out of that mode, my scroll wheel will work as expected. But I don't want to have to do that all the time. And sometimes that trick doesn't work. The scroll wheel is working fine with MS Excel and Lotus Notes and Internet Explorer, etc, so it seems to be something the new Firefox has an issue with.

    I fixed my problem! I was messing around in msconfig to turn off Lync from my Startup list and noticed something called Mouse Suite 98 was in my Startup. I did a quick google check and learned I could remove it without doing any harm. And voila! My scrollwheel is working properly with Firefox, finally! Hope this helps someone out there.

  • Why isn't the highlighter tool working?

    I have searched on line tried a forum, tried adobe help, tech support refers to forum, wasted over half an hour on this adobe....
    The test is searchable, I've closed and reopened the pdf file. Still the highlighter tools is not working.

    It does not say secured in the title bar.
    When I go Edit/Protection/Security Properties/ in the Document Properties pop up Security tab,
    under Document Security it shows
    Security Method: No Security,
    Canbe Opened by: All versions of Acrobat,
    and under Document Restrictions Summary,
    everything is allowed except Document Assembly; Signing; and Creation of Template Pages.
    I just copied and pasted the whole document and everything seems to have pasted to WordPad, including quotes, apostrophes, hyphens, colons, commas, brackets, @, and periods, except 3 logos and underlining. The text lines were not all in the same place, as if someone hit return after a sentences.  Everything on the pdf page can be highlighted with the cursor, but nothing seems to make the highlighter tool active.

  • Why isn't the Apple store working?

    Why isn't the Apple store working? I wanted to buy a iPad but I can't because the store isn't working. When will the store start working?

    Apple is in the midst of announcing new products and they normally take the Apple Store offline while a keynote is in progress. The Apple Store will be back up when the keynote is over. Try back in about a half an hour or so.
    Regards.

  • Why isn't the plugin checker working anymore?

    I check for updates to my plugins very often. The Plugin Check page has been saying that all my plugins are up to date. However, twice now I've clicked the button to check anyway, and found that a plugin was not up to date after all. Why isn't the Plugin Check page detecting when my plugins need updating?

    I don't know what you guys have been doing at Mozilla but you've ruined a decent product!

  • Why doesn't the CC app work properly?

    I've been using Creative Cloud for some time now and am really loving it, however I must say it is a source of annoyance that the Creative Cloud app just doesn't work properly.
    Firstly, I used it initially to download all my apps, then after an update those apps no longer appeared in the "Apps" list. Now only those that have been installed since that update appear in this list. Why doesn't the "Apps" list display all of the Adobe CC apps that I have installed on my computer?
    Why does it keep reinstalling fonts? I'm always getting "Lush Script Regular" and other fonts being added.
    It regularly comes up telling me that Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro need to be updated, but always I get an error, then the update request disappears.
    I'm regularly getting 4 files that it can't sync - even though they are the same files as others in the folder. If nothing else, why can't I say "Great, got the message". Also, why is the error message just "due to server error" with no advice on how to resolve it? Why is there a server error on only these 4 files?
    It seems to me there are still some teething issues with the CC app, but what I don't understand is why they aren't being resolved much faster, given that this is the portal to the service.
    Of course, given Adobe I doubt I'll get satisfactory answers – a little jaded with their responses. Anyway, thought I'd at least post the questions.  

    Questapo I am sorry you have been facing difficulties with your Creative Cloud experience.  I don't believe it will be possible to address all of your concerns in one discussion.  I would not be surprised if at least three of the issues are related to the same root cause.
    First in order for the applications to be visible are you regularly needing to delete the OPM.db file?  You can find this listed as solution 2 in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • HT2584 why isn't my mac pro work properly as it is new. the connection for the bluetooth is totally out and its not functioning at all. kindly please assist me on this

    THE BLUETOOTH CONNECTION IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND IT BEING DIFFICULT TO DOWNLOAD THE UPDATES

    The standard first attempt at "fixing" BT problems is to do a smc and pram reset (try these first).  But for mac pro's, if you are using a magic mouse say, about 3 or more feet, from the mac pro, you are most likely in for some continued aggravation.  That's because the BT antenna is hidden in the back of the mac pro (faraday cage) and the magic mouse BT, for lack of better words, $ucks.
    Here's a thread on this subject:
    Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
    Basically it comes down to wiring your own external antenna in place of the internal one already there or using a BT USB dongle.  I use a dongle myself on my 2010 mac pro.

  • Why doesn't the import tool work in Thunderbird 24.7.0?

    Hello!
    I'm running Thunderbird 24.7.0, on Mageia Linux 4.1, with the KDE4 desktop. Thunderbird was installed from the Mageia repositories using their package manager, rpmdrake. I have many filters that I have created on earlier versions of Thunderbird, and wish to import them. However, when I go to the "tools" menu, and pick "import", and then choose the radio button to import "filters", I get a message: "Choose the file you would like to import", but below that, is only a blank white box. I cannot click on it to get a cursor, and the "next" button is grayed-out and non-functional. Only the "back" and "cancel" buttons work.
    The filters I wish to import are simple text files, created in Thunderbird, and saved to back-up. It appears that perhaps the UI is breaking at the point where it should let me browse for files to import. Is this possibly something that has gone wrong with the Mageia build of Thunderbird? -Or is this a common issue? -And is there a fix for it? Thank you!

    import only imports third party mail clients. It does not transfer profile data or parts of it from installation to installation.
    Simply copy the msgfilterrules.dat file yourself

  • Why isn't the App Store working at all?

    Okay so after updating my iPad this morning my App Store isn't working, like AT ALL. And I have yet to update my iPhone 5 because it also will not let me use the App Store. What's up with it?

    I think you just have to keep retrying throughout the day.
    Once you get in, perhaps just update the Apps that are most important to you for now.
    The servers are still going to be very busy today.

  • Why isn't the download installer working ?

    I have been trying to download adobe flash player for two weeks.  I tried to download an older version as I am on an older computer. Found old versions in Adobe archives but when I clicked on them they took me to the page that only downloads the current adobe flash player.  I have tried over and over to download this but it only gets to step 2.  The installer comes up but it is totally black.  I click and click on it but nothing happens.  I am desperate.
    My computer runs xp prof, ser pack 2 and I am not upgrading this computer as it is very old but still good.  Ideally I could get an older version of flash, but seems they don't allow that.  So how do I get the current flash downloaded?
    Thank you.

    Running an old version of Flash Player means that you're missing security updates for publicly disclosed vulnerabilities.  The archives exist for developers to do testing, and using them for general web browsing puts you at significant risk for malware infection.
    Are you running any plug-ins that modify how the download page behaves?  Things like ad-blockers and anti-tracking tools are typical suspects.
    You can try the offline installer here:
    Internet Explorer:

    Firefox and other NPAPI browsers:

  • Why isn't the Twitter app working

    all of a sudden when trying to tweet on the Twitter app a messages Ppears saying, tweet not sent we're sorry, we weren't able to send your tweet. Would you like to retry or safe this tweet in drafts :/ dose anyone know what's going on here and is it just Twitter being down that is the issue here ???

    Its working fine for me.
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    If the issue persists, check with Twitter support.
