Deleting and placing art on artboards

I'm just learning how to use multiple artboards in Illustrator CS4 and although I've read all the help and chapters on artboards in three different Illustrator books and watched several video tutorials I can't seem to figure out what's happening.
If I have one artboard and I have art on it, and I make another artboard, the same art immediately appears on the second artboard - the second artboard is NOT blank. So then when I choose the second artboard while in the artboard tool, then leave the artboard tool I see the duplicate of the image, and delete it so I can create another image on that artboard. But what happens then is that the image is deleted as well from the first artboard. And if I add anything to the second artboard, go back to the artboard tool and switch the first artboard, the image I added is now on the first artboard as well.
I can't seem to figure out how to put different images on different artboards. All I can do is have the same image on artboards of different sizes. What on earth am I missing here? At school (where I'll be teaching Illustrator CS4 beginning Monday) I'm using Illustrator CS4 on Windows XP. I actually spent several hours today trying to figure this out and got nowhere.
HELP!

I may have figured out the problem, but I only have CS4 at school (it won't install on my own computer nor can I save in CS2 or CS3 anymore but that's another story) so I can't check it out till Monday. What I was doing was creating a new artboard while having an image open on my initial artboard. But I was creating it by clicking the create new artboard button. When I clicked that, the new artboard landed automatically on top of the first. And supposedly, when an artboard is on top of another, it duplicates the graphics that are on the first. Then when I go to delete the graphic on the second artboard, it deletes it on the first as well.
Unfortunately, all the Illustrator books CS4 I have indicated that one can create a new artboard by clicking the new artboard button when in the artborad tool. Then they showed images of several artboards side by side with different images on them. I was unable to make that happen by clicking the new artboard button. But it appears that those directions are erroneous, and that I simply need to make a new artboard by dragging on a larger canvas when I'm in the artboard tool. I wish that all the available help on this subject pointed this out.

    Select the song and open the "Get Info" window (Cmd + I or File > Get Info).  Select the artwork tab.  Select the artwork and click the "Delete" button.  Use the "Add" button to select the replacement art or just drag it into the window.  Click "OK" to save your changes.

  • I have 2 email addresses set up on my iphone 5, 1 can send mail and the other can't... have tried deleting and adding the account, no luck, have tried all suggestions... anyone help?

    I have recently purchased the iphone 5S and have two AOL email accounts set up on it. They could both receive and send mail on the first day, but from the second day only 1 can send mail (both still receive). I get an message saying "Unable to send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." This has been the response now for 3 days and suddenly this morning, I was able to send an email from this account, but only the one and now it's back to that same message. I have deleted and added the account again, using various methods. I even reset my phone and set it all up again from beginning with no luck. It is very frustrating and I am unsure why I can't send from both accounts, especially being that they are the same provider. I have read forums and it appears many have this same problem and I wondered if anyone has had it recently on this phone and how they fixed it. Someone said just use the AOL app to send from this account, yes that can be done, but it's inconvenient having to sign in all the time when i have a mail app that should work automatically. Any suggestions would be welcomed!!

    I am not sure if this issue is going to help you but lets give it a try.
    I know that where im from, which is the Netherlands, I am not able to sent e-mails from my iPhone or any other mobile device by using 3G or a random WIFI acces point. The provider only allowes you to sent e-mails when you are connected to a network of there own. Which means if you have provider "101" and your email settings are set up for this provider in your iPhone but your using the network of a friend of yours which is provider "202" you cannot sent emails from his network. Though you can receive them you may not sent.
    As I said, I am not aware if this issue is the same for you totaly depents on the country and provider your using.

  • Cannot view placed art in a PDF in an email

    When I get a PDF as an attachment--be it in Entourage 2004 or Mail--I can't view what I assume to be placed art in a PDF. It doesn't show up in either program's preview pane, or if I download it to the hard drive and try to view it in Preview or Adobe Reader (version 8 or 9).
    However, if I forward that email and/or file to colleague's--PC or Mac, doesn't matter--they can view it in those same programs, in all the ways described above.
    Clearly, something is wrong with my Mac, I just don't know what

    Hi, Have you done any Disk or OS maintenance?
    If not, Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.

  • Illustrator has this "Sketch and Line Art" Under "Object. How is this used and for what? Please enlighten me.

    I tried to search and nothing comes up. I can't even find it in the Illustrator's Manual. I am trying to play with different ways to trace or sketch and clicked on this Sketch and Line Art, which seems to always be greyed out, no matter what image I have on the artboard.
    Has anyone used it? Please advise.
    Thanks!

    It's an useful function if you also use this:
    Adobe Photoshop Sketch per iPhone, iPod touch e iPad dall'App Store su iTunes
    It's an Adobe mobile application you can download and use for free in connection with Illustrator on your desktop computer.

    Camera Raw will not install on my mac,os 10.7.5. When I click on the install package the main install screen opens and that is as far as I can proceed with the down load. I have to force quit the software and try again. I have deleted and downloaded the software several times to no avail. I need some help.

    Appreciate your help Ian and others.   I have since uninstalled FCS and reinstalled FCXP only to get the same thing. Loading FCXP stalls at "Looking for Compressor Support".  When I first downloaded FCXP from the App store I didn't notice that FCS was being placed in it's own folder.  It's not something I did manually.  Although moved into it's own folder with FCXP on the same drive.  I was not able to open FCS apps. They would load and then "quit unexpectantly".  They opened just fine before I downloaded FCXP.  Do I need to purchase Compressor so that FCXP recognizes it? It seems this is where it stalls. It doesn't explain however why my computer "FREEZES" while doing this.  I am in the process of re-installing Lion to see if this helps, otherwise I am at a complete loss. 

  • Movies do not run and cover art is missing in iTunes Mac after sync with iPad

    I down load purchased movies from Apple to my iPad.  The movies runs fine and cover art is visible.  Great.  However, after I sync with my Mac Mini, the cover art on my iPad is missing.  The cover art in the iTunes library on my Mac Mini is missing, and the movies won't run on the Mac Mini.  Whe I re-sync, I get a message that says the movie can't sync because it can't be found.

    Is your album cover issue resolved?
    If not, have you perhaps tried to disable iTunes Match on your iPhone (in Settings) and signed out of your Apple ID (on the phone)? This might work.
    The issue seems to be that the iTunes Match server does not update all the tracks with the new album cover art, particularly if you added the covers some time after importing the CD's (remember then that there was no cover art on some of them!)
    Another possible solution is to rename the iTunes database (.itl file) by appending say "old" (without the quotes) and recreate a new one with maybe 1 or 2 albums, wait for the server to match the tracks (you can check on your iPhone after disabling and then re-enabling iTunes Match on the phone), then delete the 1 or 2 albums so that the iTunes music library is empty and wait again; you can check the iPhone again.
    Finally, quit iTunes, delete the latest database and rename the original database with its original name (by removing the "old" appendage).
    Then let iTunes Match reload the server with all the information: this might take a few minutes (hours?) depending on the size of the library.
    In the meantime you can remove all the music on the iPhone by disabling iTunes Match in the phone's settings.

  • Deleting and naming images

    As a relative newcomer to Macs I have two problems with iPhoto:
    1. Deleting images-After reading previous posts I am now able to delete
    unwanted images simultaneously from both iPhoto's library and from Finder (clicking
    Command,Option,Delete and then emptying iPhoto's Trash)
    However, before this I was deleting using iPhoto's Move to Trash and then
    emptying Trash. This has left a considerable number of unwanted images in
    Finder. Other posts have warned against meddling with these, can anybody
    tell me how to get rid of them safely?
    2.Naming images-I rename images using iPhoto's Batch Change, this works fine and individual file names
    change instantly in both Rolls and Albums. However, when I access images via
    Finder sometimes the names have changed and sometimes they remain as the
    original IMG_0112JPG eg. but there is no pattern to this behaviour as far as I can see. Can anybody explain this please?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    vendav:
    Yes, the behavior you're experiencing is definitely not what iPhoto is supposed to do. If you're using the normal iPhoto mode (not the alias method) if you delete a photo from the library it is deleted from the HD. Also renaming a photo in iPhoto should not change the name of any file in the iPhoto Library folder, not in the Originals, Modified nor Data folders.
    I suggest you use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild you library. This leaves your current library untouched and creates an entirely new one. The see if the behavior you're experiencing continues. If not then it's the original library that's corrupted. If the behavior is the same then I'd first try a reinstall of iPhoto. Here's how to do the rebuild:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.

  • My iTunes Deletes My Album Art! Please Help!

    I have two quick questions:
    1. Why does iTunes(v6.0.4.2) mysteriously delete the album art i put for some CDs i import a few weeks after i have imported them and place long strings of numbers in the 'comments' column? (this has been driving me crazy!!!) and also...
    2. Is it possible to encode mp3s with iTunes without having to import it directly from a CD?
    Any help for either of these would be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance!

    I think it might have something to do with my id3 tags... but most of my mp3s use id3v2.3 which is the latest version if i remember right... someone help... please?

    I am trying to pull up an old email that I received and placed in the trash.  When I press "load more messages," no additional trash eMails pop up.  What am I doing wrong?

    You're not looking in your trash can.  And if you've emptied your trash can, the message is gone.
    To open your trash, you have inboxes on the top, and accounts below.  Tap the mail from the accounts.  That's where your trash can is.  Tap it.  If the mail is not permanently deleted it will be in the trash.

  • Iv downloaded the 0845 wizard from the App Store. Registered my details and it has been working. But for some reason it won't let me log in and keep saying failed every time I try to use it. Iv deleted and re-downloaded the app and it still says the same?

    I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
    Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well.
