How do I restore default preferences with Illustrator CS6 in Mac with Mavericks (10.9.2)?

In Library/Preferences I don't have the Adobe Illustrator Settings.
I tried the Find command to search for Illustrator Prefs, but can't see it.
If I were to find it, the Illustrator CS6 Classroom in a Book tells me to copy the file and save it to another folder in the hard disk? This I don't understand. 
Thanks!

PA,
When you mean start up is opening Illustrator, right?
Right.
The quick and easy way to restore default preferences is the Cmd+Option+Shift.
If you have customized your preference settings and wish to be able to get them back, you can use the Move the folder way which will save them so you can move them back and thereby regain your customized settings.
For your present use, Cmd+Option+Shift is the obvious choice.

  • Issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run

    Since a couple of weeks ago, I have an issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run When starting the application I get the following error:
    "The procedure entry point ?AcquireVarient@ImageInterface@drawbot@dvaui@@QBE?BV?$intrusive_ptr@UImageInterface@drawb ot@dvaui@@@boost@@V?$rational@J@5@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library D:\Program Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe."
    I'm running it on Windows 8 (x64). I have multiple other Adobe applications installed, which are running fine. I've tried solving the issue with reinstalling Illustrator - multiple times. My GPU driver is updated to the latest version.

    I have this issue as well on my Mac and called tech support 4 times and they can't fix it. Adobe has really gone down hill in a short amount of time!!
    Only thing that worked (as a temporary fix) is to create a new user and toggle back and forth between two users which is very annoying. Adobe has tried uninstalling, reinstalling, taking over my computer remotely, trashing plugins, verifying permissions but the fact remains that we bought CS6 four weeks ago and Illustrator doesn't work.
    I'm going on Facebook to let others know.....don't buy Adobe, it doesn't work and they don't know how to fix.

  • Text problems with Illustrator CS6

    Hello. We are having problems with text in Illustrator CS6. 1. When we copy / paste text within illustrator all color information is lost. 2. When we save documents in Illustrator CS6 then re-open text with color attributes changes to different random colors!! For example: If we save an Illustrator document with a paragraph of text that is part red and part black when we re-open the same paragraph might be all gray, or orange or (you pick a color). Can anyone help us here as this is causing no end of grief. Mac OSX 10.8.2

    As promised. This is the response received from iClipboard re the text color problems with Illustrator CS6.
    "Sounds like an Adobe problem especially given their last fix which changed how they worked with the system clipboard. We don't mess with any of the data put on the system clipboard. We simply make an exact copy of it and store it in iClipboard. It's a READ operation, not a WRITE operation so no data on the clipboard is changed. We use standard Apple API's to do all of this (proof is that iClipboard is in the Mac App Store--Apple's review process doesn't allow undocumented API calls)."
    My thanks to the people at iClipboard however the problem still exists. I'll sum up the issue this way. I have created a paragraph of text in Illustrator that combines black text with red text. I copy then paste the text with iClipboard running and the pasted text is all black. I copy then paste the text with iClipboard disabled and the copied text maintains the color information. When I save the Illustrator document with iClipboard running then reopen the black / red text reopens as grey / orange. With iClipboard disabled the reopened document is fine - go figure. The problems only occur with text - images are fine though they were a problem with the first version of Illustrator CS6. Anyone got any suggestions??

  • How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

    How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?  I'm having SO much trouble with this!  Any help would be appreciated!!!

    In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
    Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.

  • How do I do borderless printing in illustrator CS6 version 8?

    How do I do borderless printing in illustrator CS6 version 8? I'm sure its really simple but I cant seem to work it out

    As Doug said, this entirely depends on your printer and its driver, not on any specific setting in AI. Naturally it helps to work to spec and use a suitable artboard size, but beyond that you can't influence this much in AI.

    Explanations with pics will be better.
    Thanks.

    Not sure what you are asking. A download is a download. what you do with the file afterwards is entirely up to you. If you mean to install Mac software on Win, then no, this can't be done. Furthermore you also would have to have a proper Win serial.
    Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap

  • Indesign CS6 on MACs with OS 10.8 are having problems with links

    Hi
    Indesign CS6 on MACs with 10.8 are having problems with links. All links to other files have to be updated when opening a file although definitely nothing has changed to the linked files.
    We can rule out our company's networking and the system hosting the files (HELIOS software on RedHat Linux VM). This happens with newly created Indesign files and with old ones. E.g. we create a file on Tuesday, save it and open it again on the exact same MAC on Wednesday and all links to other fiels (.indd, .png, .bmp, etc. nothing uncommon) have to be updated as they all show the yellow triangle + black exclamation mark symbol next to them. Has anybody else experienced this, What can we do? We have tried absolutley everything and updated all software from MAC OS to CS6 itself but nothing seems to help on the long run.
    Any further information required?
    M. Miller

    Thanks for your quick reply.
    We actually noticed that there also seems to be something wrong with the timestamps:
    If we open the infos via the MAC finder to a file (.psd e.g.) which is linked in one of our indesign files, it states a certain date of creation.
    If we then switch to the Indesign file we just opened in which we had to update all links and open the infos to exactly the same file we looked at in the finder, a different date of creation is stated. So there also seems to be a mistake here (hope it's clear what I mean).
    We are ruling out our network as the error cannot be "re-enacted". We have created numerous test files in Indesign (simple white page containing one link to a .psd file which is also used in one of the supposedly defective files) and have opened them on various MACs with various OS versions over the past days/weeks but unfortunately the files open without any notifications or errors.
    Just as a background: a few months ago, the problem seemed to occur between MACs with differing OS, 10.6 - 10.8 at first. A file which was created on a 10.6 MAC could not be opened without updating all links on a 10.8 MAC. That is why we updated everything to 10.8. The error did not occur for about 2-3 weeks but then reoccured again.?
    Have you heard anything similar?

    That type of file doesn't exist until you export it out of DW.
    Go to Site > Manage Sites > click the site you want to export the ftp info for > Export
    That will create a .ste file that will allow you to import all of the site settings on another installation of DW.

  • Major glitches with Encore CS6 on Mac

    Hi, I am having a major problem with Encore CS6 on mac. Whenever I have tried to build a DVD (using a DVD+R disk in the superdrive of my MBP) it makes my screen glitch, and my computer freeze up.
    I would appreciate it if you could help me with this ASAP because I need to have this project done no later than the 20th of December.

    I'm running OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion on my mid 2012 Macbook Pro with 16Gb of Ram, and a 2.6GHz dual core i7 processor.
    What do you mean by build to a folder or image? (I'm still relatively new to Encore.)

  • Code works with Dreamweaver CS6 and not with CC

    <p><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.open('http://www.anything.comt', '', 'top=20,left=20,toolbar=0,statusbar=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=1')" title="title">name</a></p> works with Dreamweaver CS6 and not with CC
    [Edited Title and moved to Dreamweaver- JTS]

    I'm not quite sure I understand your point.
    I have just tested the Open Browser Window behavior in Dreamweaver CC. It creates slightly different code from Dreamweaver CS6, but it works correctly. This is what is created in the HTML:
    <p>my <a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.adobe.com/','mywindow','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollb ars=yes,resizable=yes')">link</a>
    </p>
    Dreamweaver CC also adds the following code to the <head> of the page:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
      window.open(theURL,winName,features);
    </script>
    The definition of the MM_openBrWindow() function is needed in the <head> for the code to work. But it definitely works OK.
    With regard to _self and _blank not working, I can't find any problem with the way Dreamweaver CC handles them.
    However, if you feel happier working with Dreamweaver CS6, you can download it from the following page:
    https://creative.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver
    Open the drop-down menu under "In this version", and select Dreamweaver CS6 as shown in the following screenshot:
    With Dreamweaver CS6 selected, click the large Download button at the top-right of the page. You can then download CS6, and install it alongside Dreamweaver CC.

  • How do i restore default text/font settings for fire fox?Text is not displaying correctly some letters not dark and see odd characters inplace of letters in words

    How do i restore my text so that all words are uniform in darkness?Now some letters are fragmented or missing a part of it and see odd characters instead of letters in some sentences.Ive tried different fonts in the Options still the same.Would like to
    be able to restore my default settings for text/fonts.Would that eliminate this problem?

  • How to load/refresh default preference plists

    Hi guys,
    I am facing the following problem at the moment: we got a couple iMac clients in a computer pool bound to an AD, which as a default disables the secondary mouse button on the AD user's account on first login.
    So I came up with the idea of running a script on startup which basically runs the terminal command
    defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse Button2 -int 2
    which works fine, but sadly it only takes effect after the next login. What it does is essentially manipulating the file com.apple.driver:AppleHIDMouse.plist in the user's Library/Preferences/ directory.
    So I'm trying to figure out now how to reload this plist file to have it's changes take effect right away. Unfortunately the mechanics of these preference plists are not well documented.
    Does anyone know how I can make the system reload defaults/preferences from this file?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jo

  • How do I restore default view

    Question in title. I accidentally did something in iMovie '11 and it changed the view to what you see below:
    How can I restore it back to the default view?

    This is iMovie 10 (the latest), not iMovie '11 (=iMovie 9).
    The appearance is what you get if no project is active.  If you double click on a project icon or Select File - New Movie, the timeline should appear.
