How can I permanently save my Illustrator CS6 preferences?

Each time I open Illustrator, I have to open preferences and go through changing everything back to the way I like it and it's getting really old. How can I permanently save these settings? I've read this article: (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-630ca .html) but I think it's for older versions because I couldn't find the Adobe Illustrator Preferences file, and even if I did I wouldn't know what to do with it. I'm on Mac OSX.7. I previously used CS4 and it saved my preferences the first time permanently. Help!

Can you check the permission on the following  folder :-
<startup drive>/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/
Make sure you have the read and write permission on the "Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings" folder with all the enclosed items.

  • How can I permanently save my customized toolbars and navigation button settings? When I run Norton Utilities CleanUp, Firefox gets reset to 'factory'.

    I like to clean things out on a regular basis but when I run the Norton Clean-up utility all of my custom toolbar and navigation button settings get reset to 'factory' condition. How can I permanently save these changes to my config or preference settings?

    Cookies, Completed Forms, .tmp files are all that's set to be cleared. If I can identify the appropriate elements I can protect them from deletion. Does anyone know?

    How can I permanently save voice mails?

    It helps a lot to know what type of computer you are using.
    I use TouchCopy on Windows machines (they also have a Mac version but I have not used it).
    I use Phoneview on Macs.
    I would highly recommend either of them.

  • How can I permanently save received "sendpix" pictures?

    When I receive photos via sendpix I view them on Safari and have tried saving them to a Webarchive. However, after 30 days they expire and I'm losing the pictures! Is there any way I would be able to permanently save sendpix received pictures? As can be seen from my alias I am of an age that tends to be a bit technically challenged, so advice in layman's terms would be much appreciated! Thanks!

    Click and hold on them in Safari and drag them to the desktop, or press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys followed by dragging to enclose them, or print the page, click on PDF in the resulting dialog box, and create a PDF of it.

  • How can I permanently prevent the Reminder Fox icon (in the Add-on Bar) and the Add-on Bar from showing?

    Installed: Firefox 27. ReminderFox 2.1.4. Windows XP Professional
    Since ReminderFox 2.1.4 was installed, I have deselected the 'Status/Add-on Bar Display 'Bow' and text on status bar' numerous times, but the setting never takes effect even after pressing the Apply and OK buttons.
    The Add-on Bar, which has always been deselected from the View > Toolbars menu, shows as selected in the menu, and even though I deselect it manually, when I close Firefox and then reopen it, it shows again as selected in the menu.
    How can I permanently prevent the Reminder Fox icon (in the Add-on Bar) and the Add-on Bar from showing?

    It is possible to uninstall the add on or to customize the add on toolbar from the Toolbar Customize option. To troubleshoot this try this article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]

    How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

    If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe.  They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud).  You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
    If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

  • How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file suitable for SolidWorks?

    Hi
    Can anyone help?
    How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file,  without SolidWorks enlarging the file & converting every curve into hundreds of short little straight lines rather than a single continuous line/s.
    I have made sure the file is ungrouped or has any compound paths or colours.
    Opening it in Autocad 2010 still converts the DWG file into hundreds of short little straight lines!
    The file is needed to laser cut out an aluminium shape using SolidWorks 2008 (Metal soft)?
    Formats they can handle are:
    DWG, DXF, IGES, IGA
    There must be a way to export it without re-drawing the whole design in Soildworks again!!??
    Can anyone help?
    INCA

    Not really. This is a limitation you will have to live with. Unless you are extremely careful, most paths will be converted to polyline segments by AI and in particular in AI CC this is somehow busted, so it happens more often. You might have much more luck opening a native AI file in DraftSight or a 2D CAD program like TurboCAD and exporting a DWG or 2D IGES/ STEP file from there. The sizing issue is a different matter, but without knowing what units you actualyl used, nobody can advise.

  • How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?

    Hi.  My subject says it all.  How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?
    At first I thought I had a virus or something because when I typed only weird symbols came out.  Then I reset the computer.  Then I couldn't even log in.  I tried Time Machine etc.
    Then I realized that the "fn" key wasn't working right.  It seems to be working backwards.  It acts like it's being pushed when it's not, and when I do push it it acts like it's not being used.
    So it's kind of a simple problem but it's really annoying.
    Is there a way I can just disable it permanently?  Even physical force if necessary.  I tried to break it but it wouldn't break.  I don't really use the key anyway so it doesn't really matter.  I don't want to pay a bunch of money to replace a key I don't even use.
    Thanks.  I hope someone knows.

    That's the best answer.  Yeah usually if you press "fn" or "option" you can get it to work for awhile.
    Yeah I have considered some kind of external keyboard also.  It will make a laptop less laptopish.  But it could do the job for awhile.
    It's sad because I don't even care about the "fn" or "option" keys.
    But anyway it's not catastrophic at least.
    And yeah maybe we can get a new computer later or something.  I like mine though.  It's customized and is how I like it right now.
    Anyway thanks for the reply.

  • InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

    InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

    First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
    I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
    I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

  • Mac OS X 10.9.1 will not read or write my WD external hard drive. How can I permanently make it so that it can without losing files on drive?

    I have a Macbook pro 10.9.1 that will not communicate with my WD external hard drive. Whenever I connect the drive, this pops up:
    NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk1s1
    at /Volumes/Elements because the following problem occurred:
    dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libfuse.2.dylib
      Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g
      Reason: image not found
    I have important photos and videos on here of my family and can't lose them. I tried downloading multiple third party applications like Tuxera and NFTS 3G but they're only trials. How can I permanently set up my mac to read and write without risking to lose all my stuff on the external hard drive. Thanks in advance for any support.

    babowa, it seems like it is using Fuse & NTFS, so I don't think it's the classic WD + 10.9 mess, but extra WD tools & drivers can still break things MtTran.
    MrTran, if you must use unsupported disk formats on your Mac you must also consider actually paying the developers that made the trial software.
    It's probably a good idea to follow the developers removal instructions, reboot & then install one tool at a time.
    MacFuse, FuseOSX, NTFS-3G are all likley to confict if you run older versions so you need to be sure you are using the latest version. I can't remeber which one depends on the other, so you will need to read the manuals.
    When the disk is readable copy the data to another disk. You could probably do this from a Linux distro or Windows if OS X won't do it.
    If you insist on only using the trial versions you will need to reinstall Mac OS, copy data off this disk & reformat it.
    Is there any good reason for not using the Mac HFS extended format?
