Alignment Guides NOT working

I was able to create alignment guides two weeks ago. Now, using the same step-by-step instructions provided by Apple, the alignment guides will not appear. It's very strange.
Anyone have experience with this glitch in the past?
Again, I followed the exact step-by-step instructions Apple tells us to follow to get them, properly. And, those same steps were successful two weeks ago. Was there an unadvertised update that pushed through without notification or something?

wp,
Since there is no need for guides unless you have some content that can make use of the guides, the won't be available. As Peter suggests, you'll need to add an object. If you have an object in your document and still can't add guides, it may be that your object isn't selected. You need to have at least one object selected in order to create a guide. Of course if you have just inserted an object, it will already be selected.

    Not the answer I was expecting, but thank you for the answer.
    Is this lack of support for guides in the Max curvature tool documented anywhere?

  • Guide not working properly on newly activated HD Multi-room DVR

     I activiated an HD Multi Room DVR and an HD STB today.  Both activations went thru (despite having to do the DVR manually) and the guide is working on the HD STB but not on the DVR.  I can get all the channels if I use the channel +/- buttons but if I use the guide and access the channels that way, there are some that come up Channel Not Available with code 0881. I've tried the on screen troubleshooting and called tech support and he had me uplug the power cord from the DVR, wait and then plug it back in...still doesn't work.  The tech thought it might be the splitter but I don't know which one he means...there are two outside and one inside. I'm not sure he's right ayway since I'm not having any issues with any other TVs or the internet.  I even tried the DVR box on the TV in the family room and it didn't work there either.   I had an HD DVR that wasn't multi-room and  decided to get the multi-room but now I wish I hadn't.  I didn't have any problems with the non-multi room unit.  HELP!

    I had the same problem. I had to go online at verizon selfinstall and activate my service. I was given an activation code when I switched out my old boxes for new ones, at a Fios store. I have one HD Multiroom DVR, one HD box and one STD box. There was no menu on any of the boxes, until I activated the account. Then the boxes would not share, so I called tech and they had to activate the boxes once again. Then in the DVR menu, I had to refresh the DVR. Then all programs from the Multiroom DVR showed up on my other boxes. 
    Hope this helps

  • Why "align" does not works in IE ?

    I need to align my SWF file to right side. In HTML code I m
    useing align=right ....
    It works in Firefox, but not in IE 6 (7). I tried to load SWF
    with java, but it also does not work.
    IE 6 (7) does not know "ALIGN" ? How can I to align my SWF to
    right side ?

    Thank you for your help, but it is not what I need.
    I dont need align SW to right, or left side of HTML page.
    What I need is...
    For example : When I use frames. Left frame is FLASH menu and
    this SWF is bigger than frame - usualy SWF is displayed from left
    side. But I need to align this MENU to the SWF right side.
    This code works in Firefox, but not in IE :
    <object classid="clsid:d42122....."
    width="600"
    height="580"
    id="mySWF"
    align="right">
    <param name="movie" value="mySWF.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <embed src="mySWF.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent"
    bgcolor="#ffffff" width="600" height="580" name="mySWF"

  • Smart guides not working

    Hello,
    I'm working in Illustrator CS4 on a Mac.
    In Preferences, I set Smart Guides to 30 degree angles and clicked on Construction Guides.
    In View, I clicked on Smart Guides (command U).
    However, when I click on an anchor point and try to move it 30 degrees with Smart Guides to guide me, they don't show up.
    I've tried restarting the program and turning Smart Guides on/off, but nothing seems to work.
    Any idea why the Smart Guide lines don't show up?
    Thank you.
    Joe

    No, I don't think Pixel Preview is the answer.
    I've used Smart Guides effectively for years in Illustrator CS3 without Pixel Preview.
    Often I draw my objects in Illustrator to appear isometric. So I turn on the Smart Guides to help me draw at 30 degree angles.
    As I said, I've done this effectively for years. It's only recently that I noticed that the 30 degree angle guides are not working effectively. On some documents they appear correctly, some they don't appear at all.
    I wonder if this is a glitch is CS4.
    In the most current document I have, I am able to draw a stroke/line at 30 degrees using Smart Guides. I click to establish an anchor point and then move my curser to establish a second anchor point. When I go to click the second anchor (to create the line), 30 degree Smart Guides appear correctly. I am not in Pixel Preview mode.
    However, when I try to move an object (or 2 or more selected anchor points), the 30 degree Smart Guides do not appear.
    Can someone try to duplicate the above and see if they get the same results?
    Thank you.

  • Smart Guides not working (grayed out).

    I too am having problems with the 'Smart Guides' option being grayed out in the 'View' - 'Grids and Guides' column. I've replaced the preferences, checked all the appropriate boxes, yet nothing I do works. Additionally, the 'Smart Guides' did work for some time. However, for reason(s) I'm unaware of, they just stopped showing up. I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

    I've branched your question out of the Replace Your Prefs thread into one of its own and changed the title so more people will see it. I'm not able to make the menu item go gray here, and I'm going to presume that you followed the instructions in the other thread for trashing the prefs, so I'm not going to suggest you do that again, at least not yet.
    It would help if we know your OS and version of ID (including the update patch applied).

  • Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 – Smart Guides Not Working

    I have been having an issue with Illustrator CC 2014's smart guides not snapping to other objects. In this instance I dragged used the 'Selection Tool' to drag one of the 8 points of the bounding box to the second square.
    This also happens when trying to resize items to guides, Illustrator 'snaps' the object to the guide, but it is not inline!
    I have noticed that this issue does not occur when resizing or moving groups of objects groups of objects. It seems that the two different types of bounding boxes are the issue?

    There seems to be a problem with rectangle shapes and smart guides. The problem has been reported in the forum some time ago.

  • Align / smart guides not working

    I am having a super-weird problem. I have a black rectangle that I would like to be exactly the same width as a larger white rectangle. When I try aligning the left edges, it is ever so slightly off. When I turn on smart guides and try to transform the black rectangle to snap to the white rectangle's left edge, the same thing happens -- ever so slightly off.
    There are only 3 rectangles in the entire .ai, and I have checked to make sure that snap to pixels / snap to grid are turned off. I have quit and restarted the program.
    Any clue why align is being funky, or how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    It sounds like something is going on with the alignment using the align tool. You could, if need be do it the old fashion way by the numbers. Entering numeric values fo X and Y positions to align exactly. This can be done with copy and paste too.
    Wait, you may need to check how your aligning in Preferences.
    Are you aligning to Preview Bounds or to the actual vectors?
    Or… Vector

  • Report Column Heading Alignment - Center Not Working Correctly

    I am using Apex 2.1 (XE) and now have an application with about 30 pages. I've noticed that some of my reports which have columns with a heading alignment of "center" are not always centering if they have columns that align to the left or right included before them. I looked at the generated HTML and it shows that align="LEFT" or align="RIGHT" is being generated in the source even when the column heading is set to center in the designer. It appears that if a field higher on the list says to align the column heading left or right, then that is what the following columns are going to do also if they are set to center. So column heading left and right works great, and center works only if all the columns are set to center.
    My question: Is this a known bug? Is it something that can be scheduled for a fix at some point in the future?
    Luckily the column data itself obeys the column alignment, so this is strictly a cosmetic problem with the column headings.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hello,
    What theme are you using?
    Try setting them with a css decalration. Instead of align="right" put this is in the heading attribute
    style="text-align:right;" or style="text-align:left;"

  • Auto Align Layers not working

    Hello,
    I am trying to auto align layers from a commercial job to mask different exposures and flashes in and out.
    Every time I try to auto align, it doesn't work.
    I make them JPGs in Lightroom and bring them over to photoshop.
    I add a base layer and then upload the other exposure/light layers.
    I make a group to add the exposures into but not the base layer.
    Select them all.
    Go to Edit - Auto Align Layers - but its always greyed out.
    I am extremely frustrated. Help.
    Kelsey

    Try unlocking the base layer.  Not sure if that'll effect it, but I could see it not wanting to auto-align if a layer was locked, even the base layer.
    I would also try auto-aligning as soon as you import, before grouping.  Shouldn't make a difference, but I do some RE/architectural work myself, and have never run into issue with my workflow (from lightroom I choose "open as layers in Photoshop", then autoalign, then group and mask and edit).  Though I don't usually run auto-align.  I assume you're on a tripod, did something move?

  • FW CS6 Align tool not working properly with lines of text

    Much to my surprise the align tool is not aligning properly with text and I'm not sure what the issue is. My snap to grid distance is set at 1 in preferences.
    Task: Left-align several vertically-stacked lines of type using the alignment tool. All lines have text-align: left.
    Result: Some of lines of type display 1px off from each other. Using the right-align tool yields the same issue.
    Oddly enough shapes align pixel-perfect.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    I'm not certain of this, but I believe the Align panel aligns the text runs as opposed to the text boxes themselves. This should be a good thing, as it's usually the text that needs to be aligned, not the invisible boxes containing the text.
    Could that be what's happening?

  • InDesign CS5.5 - locked objects and align tools not working together

    In earlier versions of InDesign I used the Align palette, spacing 0 mm, and "dragged in" other objects to perfect fit to the center object. InDesign drags in objects from the right this way. So if I needed to drag in objects from the left side I locked the center object first and InDesign understood what I wanted to do.
    In CS5 and 5.5 this is not possible anymore. If I lock an object it is not selectable. But there is a preference setting for this so I change it. Now I can select the locked object. But when I try to align it with another object there is an error message saying I can't move this object because it i locked. Well... I am not trying to move it hence the lock I applied...
    I don't understand this changed behaviour. If a locked object is out of play I might as well use the layer palette and lock objects that way.
    Could someone please shed some light on this?

    Apparently the distribute spacing command only uses the top object as a reference. I would say that's a bug.

  • Submenu positioning align left not working

    Hello,
    Is it possible to align the submenu items left when the top level is using Uniform Spacing (tried selecting the text alignment options, nothing wants to work)? You can see an example of what I've got here, under Flooring. http://www.thewebsitedeveloper.co.nz/thinkRedTest/flooringVision/  I want the submenu items to float left.
    Cheers
    Grant

    Hi Grant,
    Try these menu widget options
    1. Parts Postioning: Vertically; Left Aligned
    2. Item Size: Uniform spacing

    This is an ongoing problem many of us are dealing with. Hopefully it will be fixed with 1.7 whenever that comes.

  • Vertical-align skinning not working

    I defined the following skin:
    af|selectManyCheckbox::item-text {
        padding-left: 5px;
        vertical-align: 10%;
        color: #333333;
    and the generated css is setting vertical-align to the default 35% value. Any reason?
    JDev 11.1.1.6

    Hi,
    Try adding
    vertical-align: 10% !important;
    Otherwise is most likely that you need to add the property to a different class.
