Bug in my Illustrator or preference setting?

Yesterday some saved pdfs from Illustrator CS5 started to not preview correctly--in Preview or Adobe Acrobat.
After testing it I've found if I make a change to a pdf and hit save, it no longer previews to show the full artboard size; it shows a cropped veiw of the art. If I choose save-as, it previews correctly.
I replaced the users/library/AICS5/preference file this morning with a backup I keep on a server but the problem is still happening. One example. I have an image saved within an 8.5 x 11 artboard/page size. After making a change and hitting save, it's now previewing and showing in Acrobat as a 7.09 x 6.37 artboard.
One other detail--a coworker checked out one of my files and now he Illustrator (also CS5) is doing the same thing to other files she's saving.
So, does this sound like a corruption in my software? A transferable bug? Or did I accidentally change some save option where it is no longer recognizing the artboard?
Thank you for your help.
Adobe Illustrator CS5 running on Mac 10.6.8. 2 x 2.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 7GB RAM

So far we've had mixed success in my dept. I was able to cure my Illustrator by the following:
1. Quitting Illustrator.
2. Replacing the users/library/AICS5/preference file with a backup file.
3. Running DiskWarrior to check/correct the computer's hard drive directories.
That worked on the first try for me, but it hasn't worked for my coworker's machine. That coworker also researched this topic and found a discussion from last year I had missed--dealing with the same issue here:

I'd appreciate more feedback from whoever knows about this!
Thanks.

How are you saving the picture. Are you selecting the Export to Photos option in this contextual menu?
Currently that contextual menu doesn't work. You can drag the photo from the email window to the Photos icon in the Dock or drag the photo to the Desktop and import from there. Then delete the copy on the Desktop. Tell Apple about this bug in Mail/Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

In new version, the selected path does not allow transform/scale by default. Any preference setting?

In the past, within Illustrator... When the user selects a path, it automatically allows you to transform/scale the path with just the selection tool. Now, it doesn't. Is there a preference setting allowing me to do so? Thanks ahead of time.

Try
Shift Command B - Show Bounding Box
if that does not works then reset your prefs
Hold down shift option command immediately after booting illustrator
If on PC substitute equivalent keys

Md Rafiqul,
If you wish to reset all preferences to the defaults, you may use 3) or 4) in the following list, which is made for troubleshooting.
3) is easier, 4) is reversible.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Multiple libraries, multiple instances, multiple preference sets

Hi everyone!
I know how to create multiple libraries, but does anyone know if it is possble to access through ONE instance of iTunes the multiple libraries created? If not, is it possible to run multiple instables of iTunes?
In any case, if it possible to have different preference sets for each library?
The reason I'm asking is that I find it really great to have multiple libraries so that one can have media on different drives/locations and better manage one's media. However, it's a real pain in the *** to have to quit iTunes, hold the Option key while starting iTunes, choose a library, and play whatever one wants to play.
Syncing with an iPod, too, is a pain, because I have to manually manage the iPod.
So until, iTunes does all this by itself, does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks.

Good thoughts, and maybe we'll get there someday. Already, Apple has made a complex business (managing a media library) impressively easy through iTunes, and it's steadily improved iTunes, too. Of course, the success that Apple has had in software ergonomics always leaves it in the position of having consumers say, "Well, if you can give us this, then why can't you give us that?"
At the same time, many--probably a large majority--of iTunes users do not discern the difference between the iTunes Library and the collection of music files the Library refers to. I'm sure Apple is concerned about confusing such users by adding the kind of complexity and power to iTunes that some of us could take advantage of. It's a tough balancing act.
(BTW, I think Apple should have chosen its iTunes terminology a little differently in order to help users more easily understand iTunes organization. Maybe the iTunes folder could have been called the iTunes Library folder, the iTunes Music Library file the iTunes Music Catalog, and the iTunes Music folder the iTunes Music Holdings folder, or something along those lines that makes for a closer analogy with a regular, physical library.)
I still think Apple could give you the feature you seem to be looking for by creating a new kind of preset...maybe call it Collections, or something like that... that would allow you to store different sets of preferences affecting Importing of new tunes--location, file format, etc. Then you could do what you want within one library.
Who knows? ...Hope you get what you want sometime soon!

Won't open new page when I click bookmark, instead changes pages EVEN THO PREFERENCES SET TO OPEN NEW PAGES

Firefox keeps on changing pages, even yanking minimized pages back onto the screen and changing them, even though I have Firefox preferences set to always open new pages to accommodate links on a page or bookmarks.
I don't want Firefox to tamper with any pages, period. If I have a pages minimized, no way should Firefox be yanking that page up back onto the screen because it's "too lazy" to open up a new page to accommodate a bookmark or link clicked on.
It's extremely aggravating to click a link on a page, get a new page then, when I click the page to close it I find no page underneath, indicating that Firefox had changed the original page rather than open up a new page automatically to accommodate the link, etc.
What's the point of me in Firefox preferences setting it up for Firefox to open up new pages automatically when afterwards it doesn't?

Perhaps try the add-on Tab Mix Plus. It has a feature that you can force every link to open in a new tab if you like:
* http://tmp.garyr.net/help/#Links (description of options - see "Force to open in new tab")
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ (install page)
I don't know whether it has any effect on bookmarks. You can open those in a new window by holding Shift or in a new tab by holding Ctrl when clicking.

Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

Updating and iPod that has preferences set for "manually manage songs..."

I have my iPod set with "manually manage songs and playlists" so that
(a) it won't try to update every time I connect it; and
(b) so that I can see all of the songs from my iTunes application, as I don't store my music library on my laptop computer.
But sometimes I do want to do a full sync of the iPod to my music library. I'm not sure how to do that. If I select "update ipod", it says "iPod update complete", but doesn't really do anything.
Any ideas?
thanks

Hi, Michael, and thanks for your help.
I realize I can change the options to "automatically update..."
But the whole point of my inquiry was to find out whether there's a way to NOT have that preference set, as I
(a) don't want the iPod updating every time I plug it in; and
(b) want to be able to see its songs on other computers when I'm not seeking to update it.
What I want is a command that I can initiate that will say "act as though the automatically-update preferences were on and do a full update just this once".
I suppose I can go in and turn the preference on, do the update, then turn the update off, but it seems like lots of steps. I might have thought that there would be a control+click command that would accomplish this all in one click.

Unable to read Portlet Preferences set via Portal Admin

I have a portlet which should read the preference values set in the portal admin by an administrator.
I am running the portal as .portal and not in the streaming mode.
After setting the values in the portal administration I always click on propogate to all instances. But when I run the portal in workshop in debugger mode it is not reading the values as stored in Portal admin but it is showing the values which were stored while creating the portlet in workshop in portlet designer.
Please help how to make the portlet read the preference values stored via the portal admin console if the user visits the portal as an anonymous user. Any help is greatly appreciated on this subject. I have searched everywhere but have no solution.
I am using Weblogic Platform 8.1 sp5
Thanks
rj

The portlet preferences set in portal administration reflect only in streaming mode, since streaming mode uses the database that is used by portal administration. If you wish to see the portlet preferences set in portal adminstration, try running in streaming mode.
But when you run portal from workshop ( which would be file mode), it wouldn't pickup portlet preferences created via portal administration.
Note: The easiest way to distinguish a streaming mode from file mode is presence of 'appmanager' in URL.
eg: http://localhost:7001/sampleportal/appmanager/MyPortal/desktop1

How to control Preferences setting in adobe Reader?

Hi,
Is there any way to control the adobe reader->security-> Preferences setting at run time at adobe livecycle server either by Javascript or API.
I want to change the setting of the pdf before rendering forms to client desktop.
Regards
Sunil

LiveCycle is designed to deliver content (including PDF's to the client) but it is not designed to control or manipulate client software settings, including Reader. Furthermore, for security reasons, you cannot pass scripts in forms or PDF's that will modify Reader preferences, unless the form kicks off a script that is part of privileged code (i.e. trusted local script file or certified document). Alternatively, the Reader installation can be tuned as per corporate requirements but that is usually done using a network push of the installer.

Did Itunes11 remove the preference setting to play videos in full screen by default? How to set this way?

In the past I believe Itunes had a preference setting to play music videos, movies, etc., full screen by default; that is my preferred approach.
Now, my videos will play a full screen but with the itunes menu at the top. I must hit the "double arrow" thing once the video starts playing to go true full screen.
In the past I think this was under preferences, playback but it looks like that option has been removed, reducing the amount of control the user has over video playback.
Is this accurate? Any way to change this back to the user choice? Want to make sure I haven't missed anything in my reseach.
Thanks.

You find different recipies on the net, adding all sorts of 'suffixes' (suffices?) to an existing yt-URL, example

… the last part VQ=HD1080 should 'force' a fullHD playback.
And it doesn't

YT checks the connection and offers the 'best' quality based upon that.

Manage My Places/Google Search in iPhoto has stopped working. I have always had my Look Up Places Preference set to Never. Any ideas?

I am running iPhoto 09 v8.1.2 and w/c 18th Nov Manage My Places/Google Search stopped working. I have always Managed My Places with my Look Up Places Preference set to Never. I have not updated any software in the past week. Any ideas?

That's not my experience Larry, although I'm not an expert. It was one of your earlier responses to someone else that made me check this preference out. However, I've set it to automatically and google search in Manage My Places doesn't work and the "find on map" option on the photo information tab doesn't work.
What does works with it set to automatically is if I enter "Merida, Mexico" in the photo place it will list a number of towns called Merida and I can select the Mexican one. If I enter "Calle 49, Merida, Mexico" it doesn't list anything but it does offer the "find on map" option. If I select this it loops.
I've checked my software updates and nothing on my Mac has changed in the time between this working and ceasing to work. I'm just trying to establish if anyone else has experienced difficulty with the google search under manage my places in iPhoto recently.

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off"

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight (cd's / recording etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off" - Help !!!

Good advice from Linc Davis that should sort out your query i think...
However you dont want to set your MBP to never go to sleep...
Adjust reasonable sleep settings...
And the download an APP called caffiene...
When you click it you can have your MBP never go to sleep with a single click of your menu bar... and with another click it can go to sleep normally to maintain the laptop...
Simply click the cup... To toggle never sleep/sleep
