CS5 Star tool missing? -- PLEASE HELP!

I'm using Illustrator for an assignement, and I can't seem to find the Star tool anywhere. It's not under Window or view, seemingly, and not on the left side panel of tools. I see the Rectangle one, but that's it. I don't see the oval or hexagon tools either. Am I missing something?
It's not like Photoshop where you can right click and it shows you the hidden tools in that category. No help topics seem to understand what I'm talking about.
Really needing any help anyone has to offer!
I can't seem to find anything online even relating to this through Google. All my tools are checked.

You're quite welcome. The information exists in the help files, but you have to broaden your horizons or use your imagination to find it; for example, if you want to find the Star Tool, don't search for Star Tool, look for Tools Panel instead, then (I think) look at Tools Panel Overview. Be flexible in your thinking. Most of the information is in there.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I am trying to finish up a paper for my masters and now I am stuck because the library website won't work without PDF

Adobe has a knowledgebase article on this.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
Acrobat family
Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July 2011. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1.
Recommendation to Customers/Users:
For Acrobat customers who utilize functionality like forms, digital signatures, portfolios, guides, 3D, extended PDFs and rights management, and who require the Acrobat plug-in to render PDF documents in the Safari browser, Adobe recommends that you continue to use Safari 5.0.x and Mac OS X 10.6. We will provide updates as we continue to investigate this issue.

IBooks author: Can't open the file because "index.xml" is missing, please help!,

A project that I was working on yesterday and I didn't close it, today when I wanted to work on it and opened a new page there was a huge X on the page so I decided to quit ibooks then reopen it, saved all my changes first of course, but then when I tried opening it literally 10 seconds later it says the index.xml file is missing, this is my technology project due tomorrow please help!

This or a simmilar problems arose just after the last iBA update. There is a very long thread dealing with this.
I had a similar problems and nothing cured it until I contacted support and they gave me a link to upload to their server, they repaired my file and I downloaded it.
It actually took from start to finish about 2 weeks.
I "huge X" on any page usually indicates an image or similar content is missing.
The usual suggestions are to close everything down and do a re-boot.
I suggest a search of this forum for the thread may be an idea. Try this
https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=true&userID=&containerTy pe=&container=&spotlight=false&q=index.xml+file+is+missing
If you make a copy of your book file and change .iba to .zip, you can open the file and check if the index page really is missing.

All Facebook friends profile pictures are missing, please help?

All of my Facebook friends profile pictures are missing as well as mine. I can see all the photo's that they post to there wall but the little profile pictures are missing?
I have heard that this has been an issue for some!

PLEASE HELP!

Fonts are missing, please help

I just got a new laptop and when I installed Photoshop Elements onto it, all my favorite fonts were missing. I had PSE on my old laptop and it had almost twice as many fonts as this one does, but I never downloaded any extras. I don't know how to get them back. Can I download them? Please help!

I am new to this forum and new to using Photoshop Elements 9 so I have a few questions of my own. I think I do know about fonts and where they are stored/located. Seems like you used the fonts that were installed on your computers under windows>fonts so they were available to all software on your computer. If you did not make a backup of those font's I'm afraid you will have to find them one by one again and install them on your new computer.
You either buy them or download them from the internet (free fonts) and put them in the appropriate directory. Go to START > computer > C (if that is where windows is installed) > fonts.
If there's fonts you install for use in Photoshop only, I have yet to learn about that.
Hope this helps.

HP mini model differences? Basic buyer info missing -- please help

Ok, so I want a gray or black model in the UK, and it's narrowed down on the HP website to:
HP Mini 210-4160ea PC (B1E15EA) 320 pounds
HP Mini 210-4120ea PC (A9E61EA) 270 pounds
HP Mini 210-4120sa PC (A7R29EA) 249 pounds
Problem is the technical specifications for them are identical. What is the difference? Searching the internets leads to lots of different contradicting information about missing bluetooth / microphone jacks / integrated wifi...
Seriously, not putting this basic info is ridiculous. Shame on you HP!
Someone please help me out!!

I restored my iphone now my music,setting and appstore apps are missing please help

My music,setting, and appstore apps are missing how can i get them back please help!!!

The apps mentioned cannot be missing as they are a part of iOS.
Search all homescreens and folders, they are there somewhere.
If you are still unable to find them, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Homescreen Layout. They should be findable via a Spotlight search if the Settings app is not viewable on the homescreen.
Alternatively, restore the device as new.

In AS01 - Depreciation Area text description is missing - Please help!!!!

We are encountering a wierd issue in SAP which we are unable to resolve.
When executing transaction AS01 to create an asset, under the Deprec. Areas tab, the Depreciation Area text description is missing. The areas are all there but only the text description is missing   This is only missing when logged in SAP using Portuguese language, All other languages have descriptions available.
We ensured that we loaded descriptions while logged in SAP using Portuguese language. So while logged in under the Portuguese language, The descriptions for dep. areas where loaded using SPRO under "Define Depreciation Areas" IMG task.

Daughters 1st Birthday photos missing, please HELP!!!

I recently transfered my daughters first b-day photos from my Canon 20D, into iphoto. The photos were all there I even viewed them as a slide show. A few hours later I was going to import some new photos into iphoto. I noticed even though the camera was not hooked up there was a button that said import. I hit the button to import but I noticed it was importing the old photos again from the b-day party. I hit cancel, hooked up my camera and imported my new photos in. At first the b-day photos showed up in the small thumbs, but when I tried to open them in larger view the photo were gone and instead a grey dotted outline showed up with an exclamtion point. I tried to transfer the photos to a disc but they would not transfer. I looked at the iphoto library and the photos are not there.
I did receive a message saying my scratch disc was full. So I clean off some space on my hard drive, then I held down the option and the keys and restarted iphoto. It just got rid of the greyed out photos all together. I also tried removing the iphoto library and rebuilding it, but that did not work.
Iphoto had recently been doing some weird things like not putting the 2007 photos in the library folder.
Please help!!!!

Hello,
Welcome to the discussions.
I recently transfered my daughters first b-day photos from my Canon 20D, into iphoto. The photos were all there I even viewed them as a slide show. A few hours later I was going to import some new photos into iphoto. I noticed even though the camera was not hooked up there was a button that said import. I hit the button to import but I noticed it was importing the old photos again from the b-day party. I hit cancel, hooked up my camera and imported my new photos in.

How did you 'transfer' the photos from your camera? It sounds as if you may have downloaded them into another folder, maybe something set up by the camera just for viewing, but not yet imported into iPhoto. That is why iPhoto was still saying 'import.' The photos needed to be imported into iPhoto. You started the process, got some of the thumbnails, but did not get all the photos. Did the second set of photos import ok? Did you import them differently?
Here are several threads that might help: here
and here
These are for trying to locate and restore iPhoto. Your problem may be simpler. It sounds as if the photos never made it into iPhoto. You could do a search for all jpegs and see if you can locate your photos, then open iPhoto and drag them into it.
Have you deleted the photos from your camera already?
I recommend that you do not do this, delete them manually afer you are sure that they are in iphoto.
Obviously, if the photos are still in your camera, you can just reimport them.
You should use ImageCapture (applications) for downloading. It is an app that reads your camera and puts up thumbnails of all the photos for you. You can choose which ones to download and what folder to put them in. I usually name the folder what I want the roll name to be and put it on my desktop. Even though iPhoto opens and says it is ready to import, ignore it for now.
Then, choose 'download' from the ImageCapture window. After the photos are downloaded to the desktop folder, I close ImageCapture, disconnect my camera and then drag that folder into iPhoto.
If the photos are not in your camera, you may still be able to recover them from the memory card of your camera.
Post back if none of this helps!

Try rebuilding your iTunes Library:
(This will cause all devices to see your library as a "new" library)
1. Open iTunes.
2. File>LIbrary>Organize Library: Consolidate Files.
-This process may take some time.
3. Quit iTunes.
4. Browse to your iTunes Folder.
5. Drag the files to the desktop, but leave the folders in place (folders will be iTunes Media, Album Artwork, Previous iTunes Libraries)
6. Open iTunes.
7. File>Library>Import Playlist.
8. Direct iTunes to import the "iTunes Library.xml" that is sitting on your desktop.
9. Once the process is complete attempt to resync your iPod.

Flash cs5 interface freeze! please help!

Hello, recently where i job the IT Guys was installed new package CS5, im just use Flash because im a programmer. The problem its present when with somes flas and sometimes... when i try to edit objects in a scene (movies, box text, any symbol) its like the video is freeze... i not see any change that i do, but if im close and then open again the flash, i see the changes... but i try to edit again, and nothing happens.
When, if i restart my MAC (whit Snow Leopard) i can edit again, but the problem is very random... could happens again like couldnt no.
Other data, im not the only one with this issue... and everithing happen in mac...
Sorry my english, im from argetina.
I hope somebody help me with any suggestion or solution.
Regards

I don't know the specs of your computer (and I'm a PC guy, not a Mac guy), but it might be that Flash CS5 is too much for your computer to run effectively. Maybe I'm wrong, but try this: Download and install the trial for an older Flash Professional program, like CS4 or 3 (which might be easier for your computer to run) and see if that makes any difference.
This is just a guess, I'm not sure what the deal really is. But one thing is certain - this is a computer-related issue, and most likely not a Flash issue. Also check that your computer meets the minimum requirements, and has plenty of free hard drive space.
