Actions not working in Illustrator CS6

I created some actions that work on my PC. They area currently working in CS3, CS5 and CC. I had a friend test the actions on their MAC which is running CS6. The actions did not work. I am desperately trying to figure out why they work in previous builds with no problems but so far 2 people with macs running CS6 cannot run them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Charles

Hello Dhirendra,
I've recreated all my actions in AICC 2014, because the ones I created in
AICS weren't working.
When I test the AICC 2014 newly created actions in AICC 2014 they seem to
work fine.
When I restart my computer and open AICC 2014 again and use the actions
they don't work. Please find attached a screenshot.
They default AICC 2014 do seem to work, so I'm not sure what is the problem.
Any help is much appreciated as I rely on my actions
Best,
Eric

Actions not working in illustrator cc

I've a list of actions that I've created in illustrator cs6, now that I'm using CC they're not working any more.
I get the message e.g. 'the object move is not available' or 'the object reflect is not available'.
Does this mean I have to recreate all of my actions again?
I'm using CC on OS X version 10.9.3 on a macbook retina
Thanks!

Pantone search not working in illustrator CS6

Hello everyone - this issue has been a problem for me in Illustrator CS6 for over a year now.
The Pantone Libray in Illustrator CS6 has a search box, but when I type in certain numbers (541 for example) it takes me to 7541. However, if I look around and manually pick the swatch by hovering (which takes forever and is ridiculous) I find it.
The 541 swatch is there but the search function doesn't work for many numbers. This is an incredible waste of time for me and after many updates and putting up with it for a year, I am at the end of my rope.
What solution would you all suggest short of buying yet another version of Illustrator which I find silly since I already shelled out several thousand dollars for this one and I do NOT want to have to buy new software because there's a bug Adobe refuses to patch.

wow actually that space workaround is still MUCH better than i've been dealing with so far, so thank you! i saw a thread where someone said to type a space beforehand but that doesn't work. you are the first person who's given me any sort of reasonable solution - greatly appreciated!!

Selection tools not working properly -- Illustrator CS6

The two selection tools in CS6 Illustrotor not working properly. They don't select the object when I click and drag a box around them and the handles on drawing path won't stay highlighted when I use the direct selection tool so I can adjust them -- Worked in Illustrator for about 12 years and never had this problem.

Pinch to zoom not working in Illustrator CS6

After replacing a lot of the hardware in my MacBook Pro and re-installing CS6, I've found that pinch-to-zoom no longer works in Illustrator.
It's functioning fine in InDesign and PhotoShop though.
Am I missing some preference option to enable multi-touch gestures?

yes, what in the world is going on with this latest OS, even claimed to be world's most advanced!?
I was shocked enough when I realized no 4finger swipe to switch apps, and 3finger swipe to go back and forth between pages not working when you have 3finger drag enabled
now what's utterly frustrating is NO MORE PINCH TO ZOOM IN FINDER
this is like one of the most important functions in the OS, and it's gone!?
this must come back
please fix these in the next update

Activate Artboard using selection tool - Not Working in Illustrator CS6

When using Multiple artboards, typically you just need to click within an existing artboard to activate it as the selected artboard. For some reason this function is not working for me suddenly. I can still activate an existing arboard in the artboard panel, but I am working with 40 artboards, and it's much more efficient when it automatically selects the artboard you're working on as the active artboard (for aligning, pasting, etc...). Does anyone have any idea how to remedy this?
Thanks!

AIR SDK 17 (BETA) is not working with Flash CS6

Hi,
The latest AIR SDK 17 is not working with Flash CS6.
I tried to publish and install an iOS app to my connected device via USB but I always get an error "Check if iTunes is installed".
The latest stable AIR SDK 16 is working fine, and yes, iTunes is installed on my PC.
DETAILS:
- Flash CS6
- AIR SDK 17
- System: Windows 8,1
- iPodTouch with iOS 8.1
REPRODUCE:
Open new AIR iOS template and publish/install it to a USB connected iOS 8.1 device.
Anyone else got that error?

I was getting this intermittently. Not a super problem. A remove and install in iTunes gets it loaded (after you tell ITunes where it is).

CS5 plugin to work on Illustrator CS6 64-bit?

Hello,
I have a plugin that should work on both Illustrator CS5 and CS6. CS6 also supports 64-bit illustrator.
Can i create a 64-bit configuration for the CS5 SDK and make the plug-in work on Illustrator CS6 64-bit?
Thanks

I don't know if its possible to build a single binary that works in both anymore. Its definitely possible to have a code base that generates two without a whole lot of problems though -- we do it
The main problem is that in CS6, none of the legacy suites are present (unlike CS5 and earlier). Also, a lot of types have changed (and its going to get worse next version since they've indicated they're going to change AIReal from float to double). So if it is possible to make a single binary, its a very short window where its useful because I can guarantee it won't work for CS7 (CS6.5?).

File and keyboard commands not working in Illustrator CC.

I'm having massive problems with Illustrator CC. The open and paste commands work once or twice and then nothing. Unless I quick the program, they will not work. I have tried everything. I took the drastic step today and erased the hard disk and loaded EVERYTHING again. And I mean everything. I even tested Illustrator without activating the fonts to see if it was a font conflict. Nothing. I'm done. I have tried everything. Has anyone else had this problem? I need help…

Hi Nicholas Petropoulos,
I am sorry but even i am running out of options now.
Try these.
Make sure you do not have any browser open when you use Illustrator.
If you are using a magic mouse or Wireless Keyboard.
Try disconnecting them and check the performance.
Also when the issue happens, do you have to force close the application to make it work again?
The mouse and other options do not work on Illustrator. Are you able to use the mouse any where else on the machine when the issue happens ?
Regards,
Nikhil Gupta.

Linotype Decoration Pi will not work with InDesign CS6

Linotype Decoration Pi Font will not work with InDesign CS6. If I buy a new version from the Sdobr store, will it work?

Has the font ever worked in CS6? If not, did it work in a previous version? Did it ever work in any version of ID using your current OS version? I ask the last question because I helped someone on another forum today that had a font that did not survive migration on their Mac. In their case, the font was selectable but the application would crash exporting to PDF or printing.
I'm using a PC. It works here.
It is listed along with the fonts that start with D here.

Actions not working from CS6 to CS5

I use a series of actions that were created in CS6 and are not that complicated. They resize and align an object to coordinates with the center reference point and proportions constrained. I assumed that they would translate to other coworker’s machines with cs5 and cs5.5, but they do not work. The actions appear to load properly, but do not run like they should.
When I hit the assigned hotkey, the selected object moves, but not to the correct location and does not change size as it is supposed to. Also, I can try to manually play individual parts of the action (moving to a reference point or resizing to a certain width) and nothing happens. Not even a wiggle. When I do try to do them one at a time, the small downward triangle button that reveals details of the action disappears and when I click again I get an error message that says 'the object "transform panel" is not available.' I assume this means that action is looking for a location that has changed name or something, but I don't know how they work well enough to spot any differences when viewing the action with a text editor.
All of the computers I tried had win7. Mine is CS6 (v 16.0.2 64-bit), 2 others had CS5 and 5.5.

I have uploaded them here: http://ge.tt/63PjiIU/v/0
The actions all have hotkeys assigned to them. I never noticed it in cs6 when I set up the commands, but in the cs5 computer that I was looking at had conflicts with using f5, f6, f7, and f8. Not sure if yours will too.
The actions are designed for a document with multiple art boards but they will work if you only have one for testing purposes. All the commands are meant for a single object or a single group. Align must be set to art board, proportions constrained, and set the center reference point, but if you don't have them, they still should still function. The art board must be 14" x 11".
Pressing F5 will align object to a position in the upper left corner of the art board. F6, lower left. F7 and F8 will do the same for the right side. The actions will resize the object to a specific width, height is not important.
Adding a modifier of ctrl/cmd or shift should give different actions to the ones listed above. You might want to test those out, but honestly if one works, they should all work.
Let me know if anything is confusing... I made them and they work for me, but I haven’t done any actions in the past and if they are sloppy, let me know.
