Control Panel Missing in Illustrator CS6

so this is something ive never really encountered before. im starting up illustrator, and the control panel (at the top) is missing. I tried restoring the essentials layout, restarting the program, and restarting the computer to no avail. the screen resolution is at the highest setting, and the control window is checked, so i have no idea what it is. any help is much appreciated.

and now, i restarted in like a 5th time and its back. has anyone else encountered this bug before?

  • Why is the Insert Panel Missing from Dw CS6 Build 12 v 5861?

    Why is the Insert Panel Missing from Dw CS6 Build 12 v 5861?

    If Nancy's advice doesn't make it pop up as a window, you may have it set as a tool bar, in which case, hitting Ctrl+F2 will make the tool bar appear/disappear.
    To turn it back into a floating panel, click and drag the dashed line on the far left of the Insert tool bar and pull it away from the top. You can leave it as free floating or drag it to another edge until it highlights the edge and drop it to dock it to whichever side of the screen you prefer.

  • Apogee Duet control panel - missing in Logic Pro X

    Hey Guys
    I'm asking on behalf of a friend who uses Logic in his home studio...
    He has recently updated from Logic Pro 9 to LPX, and has noticed that the Apogee control panel that is integrated in Logic seems to be missing.
    Does anyone know whether this has been removed permanently, or whether a driver update is required from Apogee?
    Cheers and thanks in advance!
    Mike

    Updated:
    There are new drivers now up on Apogee's website that are supposed to provide LPX compatibility

  • Logic Board Replaced -Nvidia Control Panel Missing

    Hello kind readers and helpers,
    My laptop had to have the logic board replaced (twice) because of a faulty Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT card.
    Upon its return, the Nvidia Control Panel was missing from the System Preferences and I'm now limited to the
    adjustments I can make to the screen. The Nvidia Control Panel used to be there before the board got replaced.
    I really need access to more detailed adjustments as I edit photos and video on my laptop and the current
    display setting adjustments available in system preferences are just not cutting it... I need my Nvidia Control Panel
    back!!
    Can anyone tell me how to achieve this? I went to the NVidia website to try to download the drivers, but they
    have no support for laptops!! Ough, faulty graphics chips and no laptop support!! Really?!
    Please help me guys!!!
    Thank you so  much! =)

    Hello guys,
    Just FYI, with the Nvidia Control Panel the resolutions available to me were much higher than those available in the display system preferences; 2048 x 1536 at 85Hz (VGA) and  2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz (DVI). Now, the highest resolution available is 1920 x 1200.
    Thank you for your time and support! =)
    Ahhh, now it's making sense. You have a 17" (I have a 15"). 1920x1200 is the highest resolution possible on the built-in 17" display. Your MBP can output 2560x1600 to an external display, but that's dependent on the external display's capabilities. I wonder if that Sys Pref you're asking about only shows with an external monitor? Would that fit your experience?

  • Computer crashing and nvidia control panel missing options

    Hey, I bought 2x msi gtx 970 and put them in sli mode. They worked fine for a while but yesterday I started having problems. I was playing shadow of mordor and suddenly my screen went black and my computer restarted. It worked fine afterwards tho. Then today I played some LoL and after playing for like 15 minutes or so it happened again. But now also after the computer restarted my nvidia control panel was missing options. There were only setup g-sync, set up stereostopic 3d and view rating for games. I'm not sure if this happened yesterday too. I tried reinstalling the drivers (tho I'm not 100% sure I did a perfectly clean install) and the options came back but the crash happened again and the options disappeared also again. I have 850w corsair tx850 so I think that should be enough power? My mobo is asus P8Z77V-Deluxe and cpu intel i7 3770k @ 4.3ghz. So what is the problem?
    EDIT: after I restarted my computer again the options in the control panel reappeared
    EDIT2: I ran furmark with both sli on and sli off for about 50 minutes and oddly enough my computer didn't crash. Everything ran well. Here's some statistics from sli: GPU1: 1316MHz @ 99% load, temp 80 C, voltage 1.193V, GPU2: started at 1303MHz and then dropped to 1277MHz @ 97% load, temp 62 C, voltage 1.206V. Another weird thing is that the crashes in lol kept happening even after this and always around 15-20 mins to the game. I would say it's an issue with lol but it happened once with shadow of mordor too. I haven't played any other games. Also it's weird that this started happening only recently, not from the beginning. I do recall downloading some update to geforce experience recently, don't know if that matters.
    Also I'd like to know that are those temperatures normal for air cooling in sli and/or are they too high?
    EDIT3: Just noticed that everytime I try to run pci-express render test on gpu-z my computer crashes instantly and apparently trying to run furmark now also crashes the computer

    Hello,
    Could you please be more accurate on your spec: >>Posting Guide<<  RAM, frequencies, timings and so on.
    Would be worth trying bit more powerful PSU. Not saying this one is insufficient, but it's always best to rule something out for 100% sure.
    Remove OC from the CPU and RAM (RAM to be 1333MHz and CPU to run stock). Or try >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    Make sure that you're running latest BIOS for the motherboard <Contact ASUS about it>
    Temps are completely fine for SLI on air. Top card always is much hotter than the other. However you could reapply thermal paste on both cards, run single card for 1h and record its temps, then do the same for the 2nd card (in single card mode so the other is out of the PC) and use the cooler one on top.
    I feel so dumb right now. Seems like one power cord from the psu to my gpu wasn't properly attached and now that it's completely connected everything seems to work. I'll update this thread if that didn't fix the problem. But anyways thanks for your fast response

  • Y40-80 SynapticsTouchpad Control Panel Missing Features

    When I purchased my Lenovo Y40-80, I was very happy to know that it had a Synaptics Clickpad. I have had great experiences with their trackpads in the past, as their many customization options allow me to make it work just the way I like it. After first using the laptop, however, I was dissapointed to find that the Synaptics Control Panel is a much more minimalistic version than the one I have used in the past, and options such as "Momentum" and the various corner button options are not available. (I know how to enable certain things, such as "Momentum" through the registry, but settings forthe various gestures are beyond my knowledge, and it would be much easier to have a more capable settings menu.)
    Is there any way to get the more traditional Synaptics Control Panel application?
    Thanks,John

  • HELP!  Control Panel missing and booting problems

    For some reason I cannot access the control panel where all the icons for networking, hardware and so and so on normally are to be found.
    It is not present as an icon on the dock and does not appear when in the "apple" menu I click the german translated name of it"Systemeinstellungen". Am I forced to install again the whole Leopard !!! or is it htere a way to get the panel back?
    I have also general problems. Often I am forced to start twice the Mac since it remains the first time in the booting process with the multicolour round wheel spinning endlessly.
    Thanks in advance ;-))

    Given your collection of problems reinstalling seems a good idea:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • LIBRARY panel missing in Illustrator CC

    I'm trying to use the CC Libraries in Illustrator. I've looked at the tutorial about it, but there is no Library panel showing in the Windows list. It should be under the Layers panel, but it is missing.  Why?
    CC Libraries in Illustrator | Adobe Illustrator CC tutorials

    Thanks for the prompt response Gary! Yes! I have logged out - logged in again and have done that repeatedly. I have however just a few moments ago uninstalled another version that was on the machine (cs6 beside the CC 2014 v18.0) and after logging out of CC (Via the Illustrator in-App Menu | Help | Sign out... ) I then restarted my machine and now the CC app icon in the menu bar is greyed out even though it propted me to log into CC which I did.? Thanks again.

  • Crop to Artboard missing in Illustrator CS6

    Can anyone help me?
    Illustrator CS3 had a feature that was "trim/crop to artboard" but I cannot find it now in CS6. So now when I save my work, it does not confine the save to the artboard but includes all the art on the file, messing up all the map work I have isolated with the artboard.  The only thing close now is the "fit to artboard" which is exactly opposite of what I need and had in CS3. Am I missing something or somewhere?
    HELP!

    I have tried both ai and eps, and even when I export to jpg it is the entire map with the outline of the artboard showing where I want it to be but not cropped to that boundry.

  • Styles panel missing in Dreamweaver cs6 (Was: Dreamweaver CS6)

    I have just downloaded Dreamweaver & the CSS Styles panels is missing?

    The Styles panel has been replaced with the CSS Designer panel. Layout mode has been gone for some years, as has drawing AP divs.
    The Styles panel didn't offer good access to the legacy CSS attributes and properties, or to management of selectors or sources. CSS designer does all of these much better.
    Layout mode was removed in favor of the separation of content from presentation approach that CSS provides. Drawing AP divs has never been a good solution for page layout because of the many problems encountered when using these positioned elements as containers for text content.
    CS6 is quite a different beast than its predecessors. It has been built with a strong committment to both producing valid code and the use of good methods. Its productive use will require you to have a fair understanding of both HTML and CSS.

  • Where did the debug panel go in illustrator cs6?

    Hello illustrators.
    I was trying to do the  cmd+shift+option+fn+F12  to calculate the area on an object and nothing happens!
    so i was reading on the Internet that adobe dropped this feature no longer exists is this true?
    thank you.

    yes, scripts posted here a usually "ready" to use
    - copy the script from where it is posted
    - open Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit (or a text Editor of your choice)
    - paste the copied script
    - save the script with a meaningful name, add a .jsx extension to it.
    to run double click on the script.
    if you want to run it from within Illustrator -> File -> Scripts Menu
    - save the script here:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5\Presets\en_US\Scripts\
    - restart Illustrator

  • Missing control panel in illustrator CS6 on new macbook pro

    I just installed CS6 on a brand new macbook pro and the top control panel is missing. I am particularly interested in the dimensions of an object and x and y location. This is what my control panel looks like now - no alignment options, x/y locations, dimensions, etc. . . Please help!

    Lauren,
    At least the appearance of it is in your screenshot.
    What happens if you select an object?
    If it refuses to show up in the right way, you may try the list (5) is unlikely); you may decide to go straight to 6).
    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.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 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.

  • Illustrator CS6 is not listed in the Programs panel.

    Hi, my Illustrator CS6 is not listed in the Programs panel in the Extensions Manager. How do I restore it?
    A bit of history:
    I had been using ScriptBay with Illustrator CS6 before, without problems. After my someone came and resolve some of my computer's network permissions issues, I discovered that ScriptBay panel has stopped working normally.
    However, the script still works fine in Indesign CS6
    I tried deleting some preferences, but scriptBay refused to work in Illustrator. Then, I copied a colleague's Illustrator CS6 to test on my machine (without deleting my copy). And now, my extension manager does not list Illustrator ib the panels.
    Can anyone help with these 2 issues? I wanted the ScriptBay to work so badly!!
    Thanks!
