Can't open TOOL GALLERIES Illustrator CC on second monitor

Hello,
I have a laptop and a second display (via HDMI). In Illustrator CC, trial version, I can't open the flyout menus(known also as the 'tool galleries').
I know how they work, but nothing seems to do the trick (click and hold, right click, click on the corner). When I drag Illustrator back on the laptop display, the functionality reappears, the flyout menus work, but I need to use the second monitor.
Is this a bug? How can I fix it?

Mac OS?
Are you using the application frame?
At the moment there's a mysterious issue with the panels.

  • Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, why?

    Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, it is a problem with the text font Futura T-Bold. How to open it on Illustrator?

    I downloaded the file, and:
    It is not a Photoshop PDF.
    I get the same result attempting to open in Illustrator; mangled font substitution. That's because I don't have one or more of the exact fonts used in the document installed on my computer, and I suspect the same is true of yours.
    The fact that it opens without issue in Reader and Photoshop is essentally meaningless, (or at least it's not an inidication that it also should open without issue in Illustrator, which is what your original post seems to imply). Reader displays the correct fonts because subsets of them are embedded in the PDF for use by Reader. Photohop just rasterises the whole page, so there is no font data needed.
    If you had the fonts, you wouldn't get the substitution in Illustrator. It works that way for any PDF.

  • Can't open the trial Illustrator

    I can't open the trial Illustrator.It was successfully downloaded and I followed all the instructions but can not open it. I have tried sooo many times.why?Should I uninstall the software and try to download again?

    You will want to purchase the software from our Education store at http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software _sl_allsoftware.html?marketSegment=EDU.  Be aware to purchase the education version you do need to submit your proof of eligibility and depending on your region you will need to wait some time for that eligibility to be approved.

  • 10.5.5 Can't open previously created Illustrator files!!

    I've recently updated to 10.5.5 and now I can't open previously created Illustrator files, prior to the update, I had no problems. I get the error message- can't open the illustration with an OK box which, when clicked, opens the document in preview mode, but I can't do anything with the document!
    Anyone else have this problem?

    That implies that you didn't preserve a bootable backup/clone as strongly suggested in

    Without one of those, your only solution is to try an Archive & Install installation.

  • Can't open tools

    I can't open tools in PTS. I have just downloaded PTS CC 2 days ago. I can choose only the tools that have icons on the toolbox. When I click these icons, there is no other following tools showing up. I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. I have uninstalled and downloaded CC several times. Then I downgraded to CS6 and it's still the same. Please kindly help me.

    when I click the small arrow at each tool icon, other tools of the same kind will show up. But in my PTS, there is no tools show up when I click. I can only use the tools that have the icon on toolbox. When I press Keyboard Shortcut, it is the same.

  • How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

    How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
    the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
    the TV: LG Smart tv

    The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
    You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
    The times when the query is sent are:
    • at Startup
    • at wake from sleep
    • when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
    • when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

  • Can't open tool under dropdown menu in InDesign

    I have several InDesign projects that were working fine yesterday. Today, I am unable to access the tool bar on any of them. There is no checkmark by the tool category in the toolbox after I click on it. The toolbar opens in Adobe Illustrator. How do I trouble shoot this problem? I use CS2
    Thank you.

    Please post in the InDesign forum. This forum is for suite specific issues only.
    And a screenshot would help. I have no clue what you're talking about.

  • Can't open files in Illustrator CS

    Hi There,
    I've trawled through quite a few discussion boards before posting, but I'm stumped.
    I'm using Illustrator CS, the original version which has been great for over 4-5 years. Now I find that I cannot open a file in CS when using <open> from the menu bar.
    Usually we get the finder window to select the documents, but the programe quits even before it gets to this stage.
    I added an account and tried to open files in Illustrator but this problem happened again.
    I can double click an Ai file from the finder window...this launches Illustrator and opens the file ok. I also tried to create a new document which would not save at all.
    I have the crash report from Illustrator, just wondering if someone could have a look and see if they can work it out.
    Thanks So Much
    Kitty

    I had this same problem after a recent security update to OS X 10.6.8.  Today, running Software Update, I apparently got a newer version of the security update and it solved my file opening problem.

  • Can you open an existing illustrator file with the application default settings?

    I need to open a customers illustrator files that he sends me with the default application settings, not the setting he saved with his file.

    CS6 (Mac) but soon CC.
    What is happening is they are saving the files with among other things, print scaling set to something other than 100%. If one of our operators does not catch it, the plate files are ripped at a smaller size than what they should be.
    This customer does thier own production work and sends us "plate ready" files but sometimes forgets to change this setting back to 100% (he changes the scaling to something that will fit on a letter size page so he can check his separations).
    I seem to recall (from years ago), there was a way to open a file using the applications default settings, not the settings saved within the file itself.

  • Can't open multi-page illustrator file

    I'm on a mac. I have Illustrator CC. I'm trying to open a multi-page .ai file, and I get the dialogue that usually happens when you're trying to open a non-illustrator multi-page pdf. :
    here's a screenshot:
    http://grab.by/yNEg
    when I do a get info on the file, it says Saved As v.15 Created by v.15.0.0
    How can I open this file and get all the artboards without running a script? I want to retain all the text formatting.
    thanks!

    That usually happens when files get corrupted and only the PDF part of the file is still intact.
    Did you perhaps save it directly to or open it directly from a server?

  • Can I use My Ibook G4 as a Second Monitor For My Mac Mini G4

    Hi
    I wonderd if theres any way of being able to use my 14'' Ibook G4 as a second monitor for my Mac Mini G4? I already have a Samsung SyncMaster 913n. Is there any way of doing this by firewire using both monitors, if not what cables would I need?
    Thanks

    There is a application called Synergy which you may find useful. It allows the keyboard, mouse and clipboard to be shared across computers, and even different operating systems. It's not strictly what you have asked for as each computer still runs it's applications (and operating system) separately, meaning you can not drag windows between the screens, but by allowing you to copy and paste between the computers, and seamlessly slide your mouse and keyboard input between them you may get the effect you desire. Oh, and it is free and open-source, so why not give it a whirl?
    You will need to connect the machines with a TCP/IP network, which can be done either with an ethernet patch cable, or alternatively as you suggest, using FireWire - these two articles may assist you in setting that up: IP over FireWire in Panther and Tiger.
    As a point of note, a commercial program, MaxiVista allows exactly what you are looking for under Microsoft Windows.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can I use my Pavilion HP7 as a second monitor for my workstation?

    I have a HP Pavilion DV7 with Windows 7 ultimate installed.  I want ot use the screen as a second monitor for my desktop workstation, which is where my fligh simulator is installed.      (The desktop is a Lenovo and the graphic card allows for 2 HDMI screens)
    Can I connect my HP laptop to the desktop machine in such a way as the laptop does nothing except provide a screen for the Lenovo?  (If you've ever got serious about flight simulator you'll know how much you need two or even three screens!! )

  • Can my computer display 'extended desktop' with a second monitor?

    I believe I have a G4 Quicksilver 867 (2001) (bought it used and figuring out which model G4 is not that easy). I recently got a second monitor, but I only seem to have the option to have a mirrored setup (which works well). Is there anything I can do or rather what are my options to get it to show extended desktop. My video card is
    Chipset Model: GeForce2 MX
    Type: Display
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    VRAM (Total): 32 MB
    Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x0110
    Revision ID: 0x00a1
    ROM Revision: 1049
    Will I have to get a new graphics card or is there a workaround of some sort?

    Thanks, not what I wanted to hear, but helpful. hope you'll answer a couple of questions. I bought this computer as a second (do taxes, surf the internet, connected to my wireless router, escape my three kids wanting to use the primary). I've been very happy with it for its limited use (my primary is one of the first Imac G5's).
    1st: Do you think it's worth putting a faster processor in it? My G5 has the latest OS, but I'm hesitant to go past 10.411 with the G4 867
    2nd: Would you recommend a video card update to run extended desktop?
    3rd: Can you run extended desktop on the original IMAC G5's (1.8 ghz, GeForce FX 5200, 64 mb ram)?

  • Can't open files in Illustrator when the mouse is attached. Please help.

    Cheers

    No there are no extra plug ins.
    Its not the track pad. It's the quick keys and the open option in the tool bar.
    Only have basic mouse options - which didn't work.
    What is the PRAM? That could work!
    When i quit Illustrator and open again i can open a few files, say 4 or 5 and then it stops letting me opening them.
    Cheers
