Blend tool doesn't create smooth blends - how do I fix this?

Hey guys and gals,
I can't seem to figure this one out. When I use the blend tool for a smooth blend, the blends comes out jagged and horrible, as if it is doing a step blend rather than a smooth blend. I have used the tool before by either using the shortcut (Alt+Ctrl+B) or using it via the Object>Blend pathway and it worked out fine, but now Illustrator doesn't want to create a smooth blend.
What I'm trying to say is; is there an option that is causing this to happen that I may have accidently turned on, or has my copy of Illustrator gone into stupidity mode and I need to reinstall it?
I've attached pictures of what I mean with the settings I'm using and outputs. I hope your collective minds can smack this one in the face. I'm sure I'm doing something ridiculously simple to cause this.
I'm using CS5 Illustrator and my relevant PC hardware is listed below.
- Intel i5-2500 3.30Ghz
- nVidia GeForce GTX 560
Thanks in advance.

In this case, the sawtooth patterns corrspond to the corners of the large number of different intermediate shapes sticking out.
So basically the shapes straight edges and corners are the cause of my problem, the smooth blending I was experiencing earlier which appeared smoother was actually because I was using a more rounded shape?

    My pavilion dv7-1232nr dvd rw drive doesn't recognize some dvds how can I fix this problem? I am running Win 7 home premium 64 bit.

    If these are new original DVD, you should bring your system in for alignment. If they are copied DVDs, the drive that made them may be out of alignment and your good drive can't read the bad copy.  There is also another issue you may be talking about. Many DVD movies are assigned a country code and will not run on a machine from another country.  This was intended to prevent piracy.

  • HT4623 My iPhone 4 doesn't ask "Software Update" how do I fix this?

    I purchased my iPhone 4 when they first came out and I decided I wanted to get iCloud and for that it required an update. I want to update my phone so it is updated and have access to iCloud. However, When I go into settings - general there is no option "Software Update" how can I fix this?
    And I dont have access to an original computer anymore

    Taht way of updating only becomes available when you are running iOS 5.  Below that, you still have to wire the phone to iTunes on your computer and update from there.

  • After I have migrated a 'master' profile into another, the browse button (for a download location) in Options, General doesn't work anymore. How can I fix this?

    Hi Supporters,
    I've been struggling with this some time (downloading / saving problems) and tried all kinds of variations. But I'll keep it simple for now.
    As a test .. I've just created a fresh firefox profile. Checked out if could change the download location, through the Browse button, and indeed that worked. I got an explorer dialog to choose a folder.
    Normally I would do the options, manage the search engines, do some layout stuff etc etc in order to get some 'baseline / master' profile I can evolve further into other more extended profiles. So you see this master profile will get copied into another one.
    But, having copied that fresh profile (having done nothing yet) into another seems to disable choosing another download folder. The Browse button in Options > General does not work anymore.
    There's more. If I browse to, say, C:\ as default download location but then enable 'ask me where to save ..' in the fresh profile and then copy this profile to another one .. if I then want to change the download location (which shows C:) it jumps to Desktop and again the Browse button won't work.
    This is driving me mad. Any ideas? Sorry for the long story, hope it helps.

    Hi guys,
    @cor-el: getting rid of not needed parts is what I always do. Besides prefs and localstore, only the search-metadata and permissions / signons are passed along. Oh, forgot to mention the mimetypes.
    No, my point is why is FF looking for those folders when there's no mentioning of these to be found in my options? Not even in de about:config ... When I state C:\ as my downloads location it's absurd to check any other folder first, which FF seems to do before giving me an explorer window showing .. C:\ as a starting point. Like my unrestricted laptop does.
    @jscher2000: Even if there are pointers to those default folders, FF should not be checking those. When I state C: I mean C: (see my answer above).
    No, I'm convinced this is a bug unless someone knows a way to stop that folder checking. And to be honest, the not working Browse button is the least of my problems (I use: ask everytime where). No it's the saving that is the problem. But I guess the underlying problem is the same. Saving / downloading, what's in a name ..
    Guys, thanks for your help ! I can't fix a bug so I'm going to let it be. I'll rebuild my master and will keep checking of saving a website becomes a problem somewhere. Mind you, the solutions offered in kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files didn't work.
    Oh well, I'll keep my fingers crossed :)

  • I use a yahoo sign-in seal and with firefox 7 it doesn't stay saved. How do I fix this?

    Prior to updating to the new Firefox 7 I had created a sign-in seal that yahoo provides. This is an added security feature so that you know you are on the legitimate yahoo site signing in. In the past each time I would go to yahoo to sign in the seal would be there. Now with the update it is not saved. I would need to make the sign-in seal each time, which defeats the purpose. Are there settings I need to do in order for this to be saved all the time?

  • I used to be able to open links in a new tab by clicking my middle mouse button, but now that I've updated it to the most recent update it doesn't work anymore. How do I fix this? I really love that feature. It works in IE and Chrome but not Mozilla.

    Ok, I used to be able to open links up in a new Tab using my middle mouse button. However, I updated firefox with the automatic Updates on the 26th of October and now I no longer can open links with my middle mouse button. Why? I use this feature just about every time I go searching on the internet so I really would like it back. I couldn't find anything that it was related to in the options so I turn this over to you guys.

  • Adobe Flash can be installed, but must be install EVERY time I log out and log back in. Why doesn't it stay? How can I fix this? (I have Firefox 6.0.2 and Flash 10.3)

    I have searched through the FAQs and find stuff on "crashing". I have not had any trouble with flash crashing, but I can't keep it installed.
    If I install flash, then it stays as long as I am logged in, even if I close firefox. Once I log out and log back in, I lose Flash and have to re-install it.

    I was having the same issue with installing Flash player 10.3.183.10 in both Firefox 6.0.2 and Explorer 9 -- the Task Manager would show the installer running as a process, but it would never actually install anything. It would just sit there until I killed it or rebooted.
    It seems that there are multiple versions of the separate installers needed. The installer that worked for me in Firefox was
    install_flash_player_10.exe -- a 3,017KB file
    and for Explorer, it was:
    install_flash_player_10_active_x.exe -- a 3,054KB file.
    Neither of those files was sent by the main updater page, nor did that page offer the 239KB uninstall_flash_player.exe, which is needed to uninstall the previous Flash version before one can even begin to try to update it. I had to pound through the messages in the forums to find links to those "full" installers.
    It is working now in both browsers, but jeepers creepers, it shouldn't take all day to find the installers for something that gets updated as often as Flash does.

  • My iMac is making a loooouuud fan noise and i can't seem to fix it.. I've tried to unplug it and push the power button for 5 seconds and the plug in it again and turn it on but it doesn't stop! please how can i fix this.. its making me crazy

    Loud imac fan noise

    Since it says you have Mac OS X 10.7.4 in your profile information, it sounds like you have an Intel iMac, not a PowerPC iMac.  Is that correct?
    The procedure you describe is not exactly the right one for an Intel iMac.  You should follow this procedure to reset SMC (power management)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    When you do it, disconnect ALL peripheral devices from your computer, including your keyboard and mouse.  Connect the power cord only, and power it up that way, initially.
    Also, check the vents along the bottom edge of the iMac.  If they are clogged with dusk, it can block proper airflow, which can cause overheating, which can cause the fans to run high.  If the fans runs high immediately after starting up the iMac (when it is cold), this would not be the cause.

  • Every time I ask Siri to find something near me, she says that she cannot find my location, and to turn on my location settings and siri settings. These are both on and after rebooting it still doesn't work. How do I fix this?

    Every time I ask Siri to find something near me, she says that she cannot find my location because I need to turn on location services in the settings menu and in siri. These are both on, and after rebooting my phone it still doesn't work correctly. How do I fix this?

    No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
    What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.

  • Firefox is not allowing me to add new tabs. I'm pushing the plus sign next to my tab, and it is no longer adding new tabs. How do I fix this problem?

    When I open Firefox, I automatically have one tab. The plus sign button to add more tabs is next to the one tab, but it no longer adds tabs when I click on it. When I click on it, it doesn't do anything. How can I fix this problem so I can have multiple tabs? I downloaded the most current version of Firefox, and I'm still having the same problem. I've had this problem for a little over a week now.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • HT2479 My Macbook Pro is not letting me import videos from my camera or usb to work on iMovie. How can I fix this?

    I recently bought a Macbook Pro because I like working with imovie. The first day that I started working on imovie, I imported some videos from my camera to the computer with no problem. But after I closed imovie and started working on that same project the very next day, the videos were not saved. The editing and music of my videos were saved but the videos wouldn't show. So, I tried to import my videos again and the computer did not let me. I turned off the computer and after a week I tried to import other videos and when I press the import button, it doesn't do anything. How can I fix this? I have version Ox 10.9

    What happens when you try to download the new iPhoto and iMovie?  Do you get any message and if so what is it?  What do you mean by "theft of my iPhoto or iMovie"? Who do you think stole them?
    One trick to try is to move the iPhoto and iMovie apps to the Trash in the Dock but don't empty as yet.  Then go to the App Store and try to download the apps again.
