I'm wanting to use a shape with a Line style and no Fill style to apply a border (or "frame") around an image (since the Inspector doesn't seem to have an option for adding a border to an image), and have that line feathered slightly so it doesn't have such a "hard" edge. A shape's Fill has a feather option, but the Line doesn't have a similar option. I'm guessing the way to do this is with a filled rectangle, feathered, and with an overlaid mask inside it, also feathered, over the image? In order to round the image's corners, I'm guessing I'll need to apply a mask with rounded corners over the image?
I want to link the position of an object to another object like this
- Source Parameter = Object.Shape.Outline.Last Point Offset
- Apply To = Properties.Transform.Position.Y
I make all the linkings and the result animation is wrong. I want the linked element to have the same position as the source element.The linked element totals is position with the source's position and animation is not what I want.
i have a video playing and a box in the top right corner of my screen as a different group. The video is at 0 on the Z plane , but the box is at 1000. I'm trying to draw a line from the bottom left corner of the box to a point in the centre of my screen (line is in the same group as the box) that I've motion tracked. I can make the whole group move fine if i set the the z plane position to 0 but I'd like to be able to move the camera in to get a DOF effect on the box. How can I anchor one end of the line to the corner of the box (Z position 1000) and the other to the motion tracked point on the video (z position 0)
Im trying to have a similar shape as mail on snow leopard, i don't want to see all the information that mail shows me on each email msg, also would like to see all tabs on the top as before
It especially happens when I am watching videos. I bought a cooling pad to help with how hot the macbook gets, but the magsafe adapter is burning hot to the touch. It's making me nervous. Is this normal? Can it be replaced? My macbook was only purchased
My macbook is a few months old and fell. It happened so fast, I'm not even sure what happened. I picked it up, lost my balance, and... After I stopped screaming, I realized that it still turns on and seems to work fine.. For that I am grateful. However, because of how it has dented, the upper left corner grinds upon closing and opening. It is dented in three places, evidently, 'hopped' when I dropped it. If the lid is closed, its dented on the upper left hand corner which luckily didn't break the screen but did affect how the lid opens and closes. It dented slightly on the other side as well but not enough to grate on that side when it closes. Any way to bend these dents out so that it won't 'grate' when closing and opening?
On my MacBook Pro, I have a blue circle shape imprint on my screen, most noticeable when the screen is black. Looks as if a magnet touched my screen but i'm positive that gasn't happened.
Double poll here. There are two questions: How much DATA do you have Oo-line?
This is data and not total capacity. This includes all your on-line data: music, images, video, the OS, all of it. It doesn't include back-up data even if it's on-line like Time Machine tho. Just active data.
And of the on-line storage devices used for that DATA totally, what % are they filled to?
For example if you had two 500 GB drives and about 400 GB of data you would answer: "I have < 500 GB of DATA on-line." and,"My on-line storage is between 25% and 50% full.".
i'm having some issues recording in garage band which should hopefully be easy to clear up. i record an instrumental track into garage band through the line-in jack in the back. the track shows up in garage band just fine and plays, but i'm running into trouble recording while that track is playing. i plug my headphones in so i can try to hear the track while i am recording vocals, but i am unable to hear the track. i checked the inputs/outputs in system preferences and output is set to headphones, microphone is set to line in. so i'm not too sure what it could be.
I've had this problem since Friday with my Mac Pro (March 2009) and haven't been able to solve it.
On Friday my speakers suddenly stopped working. After first having confirmed that the speakers were working with another source, I tried headphones both in frontal headphone slot and with the analog line out in the back, both without success. There's a red light in the optical audio out, indicating that it's on for some reason, although I have selected different audio out source. The internal speaker works just fine, only the normal audio out doesn't give me anything.
I found a thread in the MBP section similar to this problem, but solutions for MBP didn't work.
The scroll bar on the right is so narrow (1/8") that my cursor keeps running off the edge, which not only stops the scrolling, but makes other unintended things happen, which is VERY annoying. Is there any way to make the scroll bar wider, like I made the cursor bigger? As my vision deteriorates, I'm afraid it's going to be harder and harder to keep the cursor on the bar.
Can anyone tell me how to setup my printer to print to the edge of the A4 sheet instead of leaving a white border? None of my apps seems to offer a solution to this. I seem to remember being able to do it in Photoshop back when I used a PC.
I don't know if Apple started to machine down the aluminum edge of the new MBPs or if I just got a lucky model, but I noticed the edge is nowhere near as sharp as the old MBP I had, my wrists are not getting cut into nearly as much.
I've seen various posts about the sharp edge on the front of the MBA keyboard. Although I think the MBA is fantastic in every other respect, I find this "design flaw" to be a real irritation, and can't imagine how it got through Apple's meticulous product testing process.
In my office I normally wear long-sleeved shirts, so the sharp edge doesn't present much of a problem, but on a long flight recently, my lower forearms were literally chafed after a 2-hour session with the MBA. I find it uncomfortable to rest my wrists on the keyboard for even a few minutes.
With OS X, I always find it annoying that windows can still me moved when maximized. I don't see the point of this since 99% of the problem this causes is that my windows are offset by 2-5 pixels (which I then have to zoom, then re-zoom to maximize the window again). Why can't we have snapping to window edges? Many programs already do this, and they don't detract from the design purity of OS X (unlike Windows 7 which does this over the top and fugly screen edge animation). A slight nudge when your window hits 2-4pxs off the side of the screen would suffice. A center line should exist too, since I find myself using my screen very much so half and half - it is very annoying to get the windows to be half and half equally.
Is there an application for the Mac which will allow me to dock any given window to the side of my screen so its out of sight until I take my cursor to the edge of the screen?
Recieved this keyboard yesterday and love it! For those who own the 'Mac Edition', how do you use the F keys without pressing the function key (fn)?
For instance, I use Photoshop quite a bit and if I use the 'Shift, F5' keys to fill a background, it launches my email. F5 is labeled email so that kind of makes sence but in order to fill a background in Photoshop I have to press 'Shift, fn, F5' and was wondering if I could do it the original way without reprogramming the F5 key.
Seems like it should be a straight forward deal, but it's not obvious how to make this happen. I can tell the audio is coming in, as the input levels are reflected under System Pref's. But I can't hear the audio on the line-out speakers and there doesn't seem to be an option to explicitly route the audio.
my friend has a c510 and uses it to print dvd covers it works well ive been trying to do the same with the c522 but it doesnt print to the edge stuff gets cut off is there any setting i can change to make it print the full area
What the problem could be? When I screen grab a full screen window by typing Code: Command > Shift > 4 > Space, the resulting screenshot has the right hand edge cut off. Seems to happen in all apps.
I searched the forum about this and found nothing. The bottom edge (a few mm) of the trackpad doesn't respond to touches. Is that normal and how it's supposed to be?
it's not really a long story, i have a macbook i got in feb. 2007 i paid 1299 for it, (not like it matters, but it's kinda why im annoyed lol) Well, i was carrying it today, and realized that the plastic by the vent i guess? it's on the bottom of the case near the back edge. so anyway, it is cracking, but not from outside it. it just runs straight across. Will apple help me even though I have no applecare? This seems like a manufacturer's defect to me, but i was hoping macrumors' collective knowledge would have a scenario or someone has been through this before. I'm getting pics ASAP!
I will be purchasing the DiNovo Edge keyboard today, so I have to decide. Is it better to get the Mac or windows version? I will be using a Mac Mini and accessing Windows XP through Parallels. My Bootcamp partition is my VM.
