Does Illustrator free trial turn off effects function? Wanted to check out drop shadow.

Downloaded a free trial of Illustrator for Mac. Wanted to create a sample logo to try it out. Effects functions like drop shadow aren't active (grayed out). Is that normal for the free trial? Thanks!

I'm doing something very simple, which is why I was surprised that it's not working. I'm creating a 180 x 180 pixel jpeg for Facebook's profile picture of a logo as a way to test out Illustrator. I created a text box, used a font called Zoinks (which is what our company logo uses) and typed out our logo. I was able to change the color of the font, add stroke to it and change it's size. But when I click on Stylize, all the functions to enhance text including Drop Shadow are grayed out. I couldn't find something in Preferences that I needed to turn on or off to unlock the function. So if it's supposedly fully functional, then either I have missed something or the download is faulty. I am leaning toward the the first option.
Any advice would be most helpful.

  • Does iPod nano automatically turns off if not used in 2 minutes?

    Does iPod nano automatically turns off if not used in 2 minutes?
    this is the questions tha runs my mind bcoz I just bought it about 2 weeks ago and just this recently I noticed that it automatically switches off after 2 minutes if remained untouched even if i did not set the sleep mode. Well, it normally functions coz during playing a song it does not sleeps but by the time pausing the song and after two minutes the nano switches off, but if you press any key it goes back again and you can play the paused song again. is this thing normal? i am really bothered by this. please help me THANKS A LOT

    I recently bought a 2nd Generation 8Gb iPod Nano and can state for a fact that if you pause a song for exactly two minutes the device will turn off, probably to save batttery power. I tested it three times already and clocked it.
    However, I also noticed that my iPod also seems to turn off by itself (even when sleep / timer is not selected) when I'm shuffling through songs using the forward/next and/or rewind/back buttons repeatedly.
    Is this normal, or just a bad coincidence?
    I've tried the 5 Rs but the problem persists. It really annoys me because I have the habit of skipping lots of songs.

  • Why does my free trial not work?

    Why does my free trial not work?  This is intentially misleading.

    You need to provide a better description of what isn't working, system info and all that. This could be all sorts of technical issues or your trial could simply have bombed itself. In the latter case there is nothing you can do:
    Adobe trial software expired early
    Anything else like iunstall issues can in most cases be sorted out...

    This has happened to me with a few downloads without any upsets.
    You should be OK.
    As I recall the download is around 1.2 gig so it takes a bit of time and effort to get it to your system.

    Hi ManiPictures,
    If your iPhone shuts down unexpectedly during use, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    As your iPhone's operating system is already up to date with iOS 8.1.1, follow the last instruction - 
    If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Is there a way to turn off the function in Lion that re-opens the last project you worked on in a given program?

    Is there a way to turn off the function in Lion that re-opens the last project you worked on in a given program?

    Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
    It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
    If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
    In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
    Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
    The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Can you turn off color function on HP officiate 6600

    Can you turn off color function on HP officiate 6600 on printer so it will still run without color cartridges?  I just need to print a black and white word document and it won't let me without replacing the color cartridges.

    Hi @justwest,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you are wondering if you can turn off the color function on HP officiate 6600 so you can print without color cartridges. I am happy to answer this question for you!
    This particular printer uses some color inks even when printing in black only. If you did run out of color and kept printing black only, you will cause problems with the printhead. FYI,HERE is the user guide to your printer, see page 72. I've also linked page yield information HERE.
    Hope this answers your question, and have a good day!
