Changing defaults in CS3 Illustrator not sticking

I am using Illustrator (CS3) and would love to change my defaults / preferences.
Change the font and start up each page with rulers showing.
I followed the directions from the help section but my changes are not sticking.
Any ideas?

Change Default Export Value to Not "Off"

Hi,
I'm using a form for data collection and have multiple checkboxes. I have it set so that the export value of each checkbox is "1" when checked, but I can't figure out how to change their default export values when not checked. The default is "Off," but I'd like it to be "0." Is there a way to do this (possibly using Javascript)?
Thanks in advance.

The setting I was thinking of is Implied_share
Here is the text from the tech reference
IMPLIED_SHARE
Sets the default implied shared behavior for the Essbase Server, or for the specified application.
This setting does not apply to aggregate storage databases.
Syntax
IMPLIED_SHARE [app_name] TRUE|FALSEapp_name—Optional. If provided, the setting applies only to the specified application; otherwise, the setting applies to the Essbase Server.
TRUE—Default value. Parent is treated as an implied share because it has only one child or because it has only one child that consolidates to the parent.
FALSE—Never use Implied Share unless explicitly set in the outline.
Notes
If the IMPLIED_SHARE configuration setting is absent from Essbase.cfg, the default setting of TRUE is used.
Application-specific settings overrides any general Essbase Server settings.
Outlines settings (specified using the Outline Editor or through the API) override all Essbase.cfg file settings.
You must stop and restart the Essbase Server for it to read any changes to IMPLIED_SHARE settings made in the configuration file.
The outline must be opened, saved, and then restructured for any changes in the IMPLIED_SHARE configuration setting now read by the Essbase Server to take effect.
For IMPLIED_SHARE configuration settings to have any effect, the outline-specific setting must be one of these default values:
ESS_IMPLIEDSHARE_DEFAULT—Outline setting depends on Essbase.cfg. If returned, no IMPLIED_SHARE entry existed in Essbase.cfg at the time the outline was saved.
ESS_IMPLIEDSHARE_DEFAULT_ON—Outline setting depends on Essbase.cfg. If returned, IMPLIED_SHARE was set to TRUE in Essbase.cfg at the time the outline was saved.
ESS_IMPLIEDSHARE_DEFAULT_OFF—Outline setting depends on Essbase.cfg. If returned, IMPLIED_SHARE was set to FALSE in Essbase.cfg at the time the outline was saved.

ITunes 11 - Changing Media Kind to Podcast not sticking?

I've got several podcasts I downloaded manually and then added to iTunes. They automatically showed up in the Music category, so I tried to change the Media Kind field to Podcast to switch them over. It lets me select Podcast, but won't stick. Changing to a different tab in the Get Info window resets my selection, and selecting podcast and immediately hitting OK fails to register the change as well.
Anyone else encounter this and found a way around it?

This for Mac only (sorry).
'Subler' offers a nice 'clean' way of adding the requisite tags to m4a files, also for iTunes U.
It's free at http://code.google.com/p/subler/
This works only for m4a files. I have not found a solution for mp3s.
Do not add your track to iTunes yet, instead, open it in Subler.
In Subler, make sure that the track has at least the Name, Artist and Album tags set (under 'Metadata', create them as necessary using the small '+'-menu down left).
- For a Podcast, under 'Other Settings' check 'Options: Podcast' and save.
- For iTunes U, under 'Other Settings' choose 'Media Kind' > 'iTunes U' and save.
Now add your file to iTunes.
And Apple: please fix!

How to change default response encoding for not jsp files

Hi
Question about Weblogic Portal&Serwer 10.
For standard web applications from war archiwes, html etc. files are send with default server response
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1".
The question is how to disable this default header
or how to change this header to correct encoding.
PS.
I found solution only for ear' applications ...
with file META-INF/weblogic-application.xml and webapp.encoding.default parameter. This works well for ear's.

Thanks. I feel a bit like a dummy for not seeing that but so it goes. What I was looking for, in a perfect world, was to set a preference to permanently sert a default folder on an external drive to store the .dvdproj files once they are made.......but your suggestion is close enough to my original intention.
Thanks again.

Changing Defaults/Preferences in CS5 NOT found in the Preferences Pull-Down

Does anyone know how to change the Photoshop CS5 defaults for opening files?
When I open a PDF, the default setting in the import box is CMYK, 300 dpi. When I open an Illustrator eps, it defaults to CMYK, 72 dpi.
I need to do a lot of batch/droplet work and since those keep doing really wonky things - or don't run at all - I need to be able to drag open bunches of files at a time and run actions manually. For the moment.
It would be great if there was a way I could change the settings so that each Illustrator file defaulted to open at 300 dpi/RGB.
Does anyone have any thoughts? or does anyone know if it's possible to manually edit the system pref files (ah, the good old days) for CS5?
Thanks very much, I appreciate the help.
Shannon

Thank you for your help! I tried your suggestion, but it defaults back to the original settings each time.
For example, I open an Illustrator eps, change the settings to 300/RGB. Open a different file, the default settings go back to 72 dpi/CMYK.

How can I change default font in Illustrator CC?

I've found instructions for CS2-CS4, but not CC. Thanks!

Hasn't changed as far as I know. Open the New Document profiles you want to change and from the Window>Type>Character Styles modify the Normal character style to what you want.

How do you change the default font in Illustrator CS5?

I have upgraded my Illustrator to CS5 and my default font has changed to a strange font. In Photoshop and InDesign, I was told that all you have to do is change the font in the Character menu to the font that you wish to be set as "default" and it will be the font that you always start with.
NOTE: Does this mean that if I use a different font in a different document, the font will stay that font unless I change it back? Isn't there a way to make a particular font the font that I would always what I start with? All this setup means, is that the "default font" will always be whatever the last font that was being used was. There has to be a way to make a default font that I will always start with no matter what the last font that was being used was.
Illustrator gives you no option on font type, unless a file is open. Then, if you change the font and close the file, next time you start a file, it will go back to what is was to begin with. There has to be a way to change the default font for all of these programs to where the font always stays the same unless you change it. Mine is just set to use a weird font that I would probably never use.
I just never thought it would be that big of a deal to change default settings for the font.

Okay, I basically made three different documents and I made sure that I had everything chosen in each. I then saved the three to that file and they now appear in the list:
Settings for all 3:
72psi, 150psi and 300psi
Rulers Visable
Times New Roman
12pt
14.4pt
I then went in and started three new documents. I used the three different New Document Profile's that I made and they all had Rulers, their sizes were correct, but the font stayed Myriad Pro. Did I miss anything? And, Yes, I did change the font and the setting before I saved them in the New Document Profile.
One other thing, I did create a file in the folder, but it was spelled incorrectly. I then went into the folder, erased it and made a second. Then, I went to open it in IllustratorCS5 and it was still listed. I went to the file and it wasn't there anymore, but it was still listed in the New Document Profile. Is there a way to get it off of the list or is all I have to do is restart Illustrator?

When I double click a CS3 Illustrator file in finder, it opens in preview, not in Illustrator CS4.

When I double click a CS3 Illustrator file in finder, it opens in preview, not in Illustrator CS4.
Is anyone having this same issue?
Is there a quick and easy method to convert to CS4.
I have 4000 ads, 3,000 are from freelancers that are CS3 or CS2.
Jim Etheridge

Select a couple of .ai files and Get Info on the files. Go to the Open with line and set it to Adobe Illustrator. When it ask if you want it to do the same for this file type answer yes. The OS is probably seeing the file as a PDF and Preview by default is set to open PDFs.

Changes made in the PODCAST GET INFO window do not "stick"?

When working with podcasts, changes made in the GET INFO window do not "stick" for newly downloaded podcasts? In other words the changes are not persistent for newly downloaded podcasts. I want the changes to apply to past, present, and future podcasts.

thats difficult to say without seeing the code in the template.
when you dont supply any _tempate value in the url, the system by default uses
WEBREPORTING_SELSCREEN template.
your po_selscreen may be a copy of this and modified to change the look and feel or something like that. compare these two and see whats causing the selscreen from appearing completely

Windows 7 Thinkvantage Access Connections 5.41 does not stick to printer default

hi
i have installed windows 7 on 3 lenovo laptops (x60s, x61, t500) and installed AC 5.41 but and have configured them with 5 profiles each with their own default printer preferences but for some reason when i toggle from 1 profile to another the default printer setting does not change accordingly
this is really annoying as i have managed to print documents to the wrong printer a couple of times and it seems to be accross the board on all my windows 7 installations
is this happening to anyone else?
cheers

no i haven't
i have now deployed 5 thinkpads (x200 with lenovo windows 7 installation disk) and 4 X61 and T500's with my own windows build and downloaded all the thinkvantage software using system update (had to manually upgrade to 5.42 as system update did not pick up on the updates)
the printer default sometimes swaps over but often it just defaults to the original ms windows xps writer and not the the one i had specified.
very frustrating, luckily a lot of my users do not switch locations very often and only print from 1 location but i have some laptop roll outs planned for users who do use this printer default settings a lot and i will get some stick for this.

Change defaults for Illustrator Options??

Running Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Illustrator CS3
I am a new user to Illustrator and I am in the process of converting a number of files from current version of Illustrator (CS3) to be read by a program that needs them in Illustrator 8 format.
I need to somehow automate the process. Right now I do the following steps:
File / Open - number-01.ai
File / Document Setup / change orientation to landscape
File / Save As - number-01[Converted].ai
Click Save As
Illustrator Options Box Appears
I change the Version to Illustrator 8
Click OK and wait until the program finishes the conversion.
This is a very long process and I know there should be a better way to do this. This is something that I will be doing a lot, so I really need some help with this.
BTW, the program that needs a Version 8 format is a machine that cuts paper. I design the graphics in a program that one of the cutter machines use, then convert it to be read in other cutters.
Thanks in advance!
Judy

Judy:
Read up on Actions and running them in Batch mode. I don't know if all of those commands can be automated, but if not the batch will stop for you to hit a command.

Upgraded to CS5 Illustrator form CS3 Illustrator. Colors are not printing correctly in CS5

I have just recently purchased CS5 Premium Suite. I am working with Illustrator. When I print my CS3 Illustrator files in CS5 the colors are not printing correctly. Is there a way to fix this problem

I've been doing more troubleshooting since I wrote this post. I've now tried printing from a non-Adobe app and I'm getting the same margin error. So it is definitely a Xerox issue and I have a tech coming out on Monday.
The reason I originally figured it must be an CS5 issue is because just two weeks ago when I was using CS2, our landscape-oriented programs were printing with .25" margins as they should. Then last week after upgrading to CS5, the inside page (2nd page) was noticeably out of whack and shifted to the right (not left). But when I started trying to troubleshoot this week, everything started shifting to the left.
The only thing different between those two weeks was the fact I updated to CS5.
But obviously, my printer as decided to go to crap in more ways than one all in a two week period. Hopefully the tech can sort it out next Monday.
Thanks!

Latest Lithroom 5.6 does not recognize my .cr2 raw file format and Windows 7 it asociates with my older raw plug in in Ps CS5.5. I am not able to change default program for .cr2 in the properties pannel...
every new released update of Lr from v 5.2 changed somethin in my Windows 7 Professional settings. I am stucked. Can somebody help me please? Many thanks. Andrej

Hi Jim,
yes after I imported my .cr2 raw files into new catalog it started to work. Windows 7 still does not recognize them but I can edit them as you said within the Lr5.6 and then export them into .psd or .dng files...as needed.
I bought Lr5 only because I got present - my new camera Cannon 70D and because my older Photoshop CS5.5 raw plugin does not recognize. cr2 files.
Many thanks for your help.
Andrej.

Changing defaults in Illustrator CS4

Hey folks... this was easier in CS1 and previous, but I was curious as to how to change defaults in Illustrator CS4? For example, I've customized my brush library and want to replace whatever the default brush file is with my customized brush file (for now, called, interestingly enough, brushes.ai) Where is the location of the (default brushes) file? Thanks!

You can place your custom created files to the location
\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5\Presets\en_US\Brushes
