Cannot view content grabber in Illustrator CC

Hi all,
I'm very new to Illustrator and finding the learning curve to be quite steep. Two questions - First, is there a kind of "getting started guide" with a brief explanation of the very basics and all features? The little random tutorials they show upon opening the program are helpful, but totally random and I can't find a list of contents even, to go through. I find I'm looking things up one thing at a time, issue by issue. That can't be the best way to learn the basics for a home user.. can it?
Major question right now as I'm using it.. I'm finding that I often cannot see the content grabber on images that I open (from iPhoto, for example) in Illustrator CC. I'd like to see that brown frame to quickly crop the image but the content grabber never shows up so I can't do that. The only "solution" I've seen is to go to View>Extras>View content grabber. But in this version, there is no "extras" in my view menu.
I feel like this is so incredibly basic but I'm learning as I go and totally lacking in resources here.
Thanks in advance.

  • Cannot view content of pages created with WPC

    Hello everyone,
    When I create a page with WPC, I can only view the content with my super admin account.
    I have set read authorizations for everyone on the KM folders and for PCD with no result. The rest of the users cannot view the content. They can only view the Header or Tool bar at the top (which contains send feedback, email, rss feed, etc).
    What must I do to make the content visible for everyone?
    Best Regards,
    David.

    Hi Leo,
    Thanks for the answer,
    Set permission "everyone" in the folder "System Administration > Permissions > Web Page Composer", but still can not view the contents of the iview.
    Another additional configuration?
    Thankss
    Regards.

  • Cannot view content text and elements in Dreamweaver

    Hi,
    I am not an expert in Dreamweaver, still learning. Would anyone tell me why when I open up the template in Dreamweaver's design view I cannot see the content text and other elements to edit or view? However, all those are still viewable in browsers. I can edit content only through code mode in Dreamweaver, not in design view. I am attaching the whole template for you to see.
    I would greatly appreciate your feedbacks.
    Ed

    Found it in the last line of the code, it's a Joomla template.
    The only real way to use this with dreamweaver is with one of the extensions for dreamweaver (not 100% required, but difficult without one), there are a number of extensions available (sorry, but none are free that I know of).
    Try - http://www.justdreamweaver.com/dreamweaver-joomla-tools.html , or do a search for  Joomla and dreamweaver extension.

  • Can see Time Capsule in Finder but cannot view contents of it?

    Hi guys,
    I've been having this issue on and off.  Most of the time my Time Capsule works perfectly but sometimes I cannot access the conents saved on it.  I am able to see the TC under 'shared' in Finder but when I try to access the stuff I have saved on it and nothing shows up. The only way I can find to restore visability, is to restart my macbook.  Any one have this same issue?
    Thanks!

    Running 10.6.8. Trying to open and view contents of a CD (of an MRI) and getting message 'This program cannot be run in DOS mode' Is there a way? Thanks for the help.

    Go to the support site for the provider of the MRI software.
    Sounds like it windows/PC. I have ran across that for the CDs that veterinarians provide for digital x-rays.
    I would try on a PC or on yuur Mac with Windows via BootCamp or a virtual machine like VirtualBox

  • Cannot view embeded sopfilter content

    Hi,
    I'm running windows 7 starter and I cannot view embedded sopfilter content in firefox 4. I was able to do it with firefox 3, but not in 4. I'm still able to view the content with IE, but I would much prefer to use Firefox as I did before.
    Every time I load the page it's asking me to install the plugin... after going through the wizzard, it says I have to install it manually... but Microsoft says that the required plugin is already preinstalled on windows 7 and gives me nothing to install.
    Please help!!!

    Using Firefox 4, please visit the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugin Check page] - this will tell you the status of your plugins and may hint at what action is required.

  • Cannot view jpg files in full page mode. Contents of jpg files are enlarged so that it requires 4 pages to print one page.

    When people send me jpg files that contain a page of information, I cannot view the file in full page mode. I can only view 1 quadrant of the page at a time. If I print the jpg file, it uses 4 pieces of paper (1 quadrant per page). Others who receive this file can view it fine.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == It has always worked this way.

    There is an option for the Initial View that is "Magnification:" "Fit Page".  And this works for the initial page when the PDF is opened and it does not matter what the page size it, Acrobat/Reader will automatically fill the screen with the page. If you want the zoom type to change with each page then you need  add a page open script to each page to set the pages zoom type to "zoomtype.fitP"
    this.zoomType = zoomtype.fitP;

  • Cannot view SWF content with IE & Flash 9.0.47

    We have recently upgraded to the latest version of Flash
    9.0.47. When viewing pages that are directly linked to a .SWF file,
    the content is never displayed. The IE status bar shows
    'Downloading' and then 'Done' but only white space is displayed.
    The file will not play when downloaded and opened through IE
    manually either.
    These files and sites still work with Flash 8, and with Flash
    9 on Firefox.
    I am able to view content that is embedded and the Adobe
    version test (
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/)
    shows that it is installed.
    Uninstall and reinstalling does not fix the issues nor does
    reverting back to an older version of Flash on machines where this
    once worked.
    I have been through the registry and as far as I can tell
    everything looks fine. File associations and MIME settings were in
    order.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is a problem
    for quite a few computers.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Like I said in the previous post, if we try to open a naked
    swf file in IE it does not play. However, when I enlose it in the
    proper tags the content is displayed. Is this the way it's going to
    be from now on?
    Here is an example I pulled from google that got it to work.
    <OBJECT

    </OBJECT>
    Here are a couple of other things I have tried.
    Registry Permissions are correct, I even gave users full
    control to everything (on a test box)
    Ran Flash Uninstaller, rebooted, installed package from
    adobe's site
    Ran Flash Uninstaller, Rebooted, installed package from
    filehippo
    unregistered & reregistered flash9d.ocx (regsvr32)
    Tried both MSI & EXE installers from Adobe's Corporate
    download site
    Changed IE security settings to lowest possible, everything
    was allowed Allowed active content from My Computer (IE advanced
    settings)
    Tested with different users, some admins some not
    Tested with different versions of Windows XP (RTM, SP1, SP2)
    None of those steps made any difference, and I have run out
    of ideas.

  • Cannot view desktop contents and finder shuts down

    Iam using macbook pro mid 2012 with OS mavericks. Everything was running completely okay until yesterday but when i switched on today the finder kept shutting down after 15 seconds..i cannot view my documents or pictures on the desktop..the applications icon disappear from the dock when i open it and cannot see anything in my downloads folder either..i didnt not downnload any app recently and cant seem to figure out the problem.i tried attaching a screenshot but the browser crashed..i saw some posts where they were relating this problem with google drive but i dont use it..any help would really be appreciated because i have a presentation coming up next week and really need to get done with this problem

    You can work around this issue by choosing Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and then entering a / followed by the name of the folder you want to access.
    If you need to access the top level of the hard disk from the other accounts or want to fix the issue, try logging in with the original account. Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript folder and run the following script:
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder.AppleShowAllFiles '1'"
    tell application "Finder"
    quit
    end tell
    delay 3
    tell application "Finder"
    run
    end tell
    After the Finder restarts, open your hard disk's icon and locate the file named .DS_Store. Rename this file and try logging in with one of the other accounts. To hide the additional files and folders revealed, replace the 1 in the first line of the script with a 0 and rerun the script.

  • Cannot view Apple TV in iTunes, why not?

    Hi, All, just updated to a new Apple TV , looks great, however, I cannot view the box as I could with the previous box in iTunes.  I have Wireless hookup.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    The current Apple TV does not show up in iTunes as there is no sync capabilities. You send content from your Mac using home sharing (computer must be on and running iTunes)
    You can also stream directly from an IOS device using airplay.

  • Cannot view SharePoint Online documents through CRM Online Outlook Connector - iframe error

    We are integrating CRM 2013 Online with SharePoint 2013 Online. We have installed the CRM List Component solution. We have also modified the SharePoint master page to permit display of SharePoint content in iframes. We can view SharePoint documents within
    CRM using Internet Explorer after setting the Documents link for an opportunity to point to a document set in SharePoint. However we cannot view documents through the CRM Outlook Connector. We receive the error that "This content cannot be displayed in
    a frame".
    We have tried adding *.sharepoint.com, *.dynamics.com, and *.microsoftonline.com to IE's Trusted Zone with no effect.
    The application launched by the Outlook Connector is called Microsoft.Crm.Application.Outlook.WebFormsHost and it's my understanding that it uses the IE engine to render online content.
    Is there anyway to view SharePoint content embdedded in CRM via an iframe with the Outlook Connector?

    I have the same problem here.
    The integration works fine outside of Outlook, but if, for example, an account is opened within CRM for Outlook the error occurs.
    - No masterpage modification
    - Some security setting in IE 11 (perhaps IE 11 is the problem)
    - Installed the solution in the used site collection
    - Configured CRM settings

  • Cannot view certain images

    I cannot view certain images, and I have already checked my settings a few times over. This only occurs occasionally with deviantart. Previously I came across a way to correct this, but it's been so long now that I've needed to adjust it that I've forgotten. So my question: Is there a way to adjust things so that the differently sized images appear regardless of pixel amount? It tends to be either only the preview or fullsize image on DA. Also, though I've Adblock Plus now, this happened even before.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://deviantart.com

    It is possible that you accidentally clicked the 'Block Images' item in the right click context menu while trying to save an image.
    Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
    A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (''Site Identification'' icon) on the left side of the location bar and click the "More Information" button.
    This will open the Security tab of the ''Page Info'' window (also accessible via Tools > Page Info).
    Go to the ''Media'' tab of that Page Info window.
    Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow.
    If an image is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box ''Block Images from...'' then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Cannot view images in emails on Safari or Firefox

    I cannot view images in emails on multiple accounts from different sites (Gmail, AOL Mail, Hotmail) on Safari and Firefox on my Macbook. When I click "Show Content" on the emails to unblock the spam protection, either all of the images don't show up and instead I get the "?" boxes or only some of the images show up. Can anyone help me out? I have an important email I need to print out but need to see all the images before doing so (plus, it's just plain annoying). Thanks.

    I have the same problem. Since a while I can no longer view images in html emails even though it was set to do so in the prefs. I am considering ditching the plist file but am concerned that I will lose more valuable info (like account passwords and such). What does the pref file (plist) hold?

  • Cannot view pictures in iPhoto

    I have iPhoto 7.1.3 and OS 10.4.11
    I have read all the posts regarding the changes with iPhoto and the inability to view the individual files in the latest version.
    However, in iPhoto when I try to view a photo, I get the ! icon. As a result, I cannot view the picture, drag it to the desktop or edit it. I am able to view the details of the picture, including file name and size. So I believe the picture exists, but I don't know why I cannot see it.
    I tried rebuilding iPhoto during application launch by holding the control-option keys. Nothing has changed.
    Someone please help as I need to access my pictures for project.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Never post your email on an internet forum.
    As you've tried rebuilding the library then I would move on to recovery mode. Your db has been corrupted:
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Regards
    TD
