Easy access to Illustrator, and others

It ought to be possible to access the Illustrator General Discussion forum from the main forum page just like other main applications, rather than having to scroll through a dropdown list after wasting time looking for it elsewhere, such as Design forums. Complaints are being made by users, after they have finally found their way (back) to it.
There may be other product forums deserving the same prominence. GoLive could be one of them.

Holy hell, widgets are the bees knees and whatnot!
I just built a couple of "Recent Activity"-based  widgets and they make it about 10x easier to follow a forum than any of the other methods I've tried so far.
Drag down a Recent Activty widget.
Rename it whatever your Activity will be for (eg, InDesign Recent).
Change the pop-up menu to whatever forum you're going to track and the amount of entries to whatever you want.
Now you can see who replied and when to all conversations. Clicking each entry takes you directly there so you can get closer to your last reading too.
I also tore the whole layout down. I'm in 3-column view with Private msgs and all forums in the left column, Recent InDesign in the middle and Recent Forum Comments in the far right.
Thanks for the info, Mark!

    i deleted my cookies and now i can't access gmail facebook and other sites

    Thanks, but I tried that and was directed to set up a new password which I did. But, it still wouldn't let me go to my existing Gmail. I was asked to set up Gmail account. I also tried accessing my Gmail from Yahoo. Failed. Someone suggested setting up another Gmail address so that when you logged on it would ask you which Gmail to open. This didn't work and only made the problem worse. Google Help is no help. I guess the only way to access Gmail is with my iPad, but it just isn't right!

  • Removing access to email and other information

    A family member gave their phone away to a friend and (mistakenly) thought that deleting all of the information on the phone one by one (as opposed to doing the restore) would be sufficient. I think access to email and other information might still be present on the phone. Is there a way to disable access to the email account and other information remotely somehow?

    Change the password for the email account, which will prevent the friend from downloading any new messages received at the incoming mail server for the account.
    Without the passcode lock feature enabled, there is no way to prevent someone from accessing any data that is available on the iPhone.
    Restoring the iPhone as a new iPhone is one option. The iPhone also includes an erase all contents and settings option, which is a secure erase.

  • How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

    Dear All,
    We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
    Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
    Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
    It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
    How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
    Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
    explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

    You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
    desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
    Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

  • Problem accessing iphoto pictures and other files from previous system.

    Hello,
    I tried to install Leopard, upgrading from Tiger, using the install disc.
    The cpu hanged on blue.
    I tried all the disc permissions protocol, with no immediate success.
    Overnight it somehow came up and was usable, however, I could not access my files in iphoto and open office etc
    In the 'previous systems' folder on my HD it is still there and of the correct size, however I cannot access it-it is grey and has a cross through it.
    I ran disc permissions before and after uploading combo updater X10.5 from the apple site.
    It still would not grant access.
    I re-installed the system running disc permissions before and after and archived the HD.
    I then carbon copied (using that software) the HD to an external HDD and erased and installed leopard.
    I still cannot access the old photos in iphoto and the new iphoto has no photos in it.
    Any suggestions as to how to resolve this? The priority is to access the old photos again, preferably still in their folder and album form. Though accessing all old files would be still better.
    Thanks-I've been going at this for a few days now...
    Best wishes,
    GMT1

    It's solved now-thank you
    This is what was done:
    1) Quit iPhoto, if it is already running
    2) Open a Finder window to show Backup HD>Previous Systems>Users>Pictures
    3) Open another Finder window above or below it and navigate to Macintosh HD>Users>Pictures
    (It's easier to keep track if you have both windows in column view)
    4) Drag and drop the old iPhoto Library onto the new Pictures folder. It will warn you that if you are about to replace "iPhoto Library". Click "Replace" - it may require your password.
    5) Open iPhoto
    Thanks to a person on another forum named Leewave, who came up with it just now.
    Thanks to all and best regards.

    tab
    Check Use Cached Exchange Mode (if not already checked)

    Next > Finish
    Restart Outlook
    This has solved the issue.

  • I have created another user on our iMac but cannot figure out how to access aperture, excel and other purchased applications on the new desk top

    I have created an additional user on our iMac and have tried to set up file share but nothing happens.  I have an empty desktop and only the applications that came with the computer appear.  I'd like to have access to the others that we've purchased... Aperture, excel, etc.  I've followed the instructions for file sharing but I must be missing something. 
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Rebecca1952,
    You are over complicating things.  File sharing has nothing to do with what applications that each user has access to.
    To me it sounds like you just need some basic help getting the applications that you need onto your dock.
    Try this:
    Login to you new user account
    Click on an empty part of your desktop
    Click on the "Go" menu and select "Applications"
    A Finder window should open showing ALL of the applications on the Mac.
    Double-click one of them that you will use frequently (e.g. Excel)
    Once it is up and running you should see it's icon down on your dock.
    Right-click that icon on the dock, then select "Options", and "Keep in Dock"
    Once you have added each application to the dock in this manner, then it will remain there even after you quit the application.
    For one more expert way to launch any application on your mac quickly, try this:
    Hold the [command] key and hit the [spacebar] (this will start a Spotlight search)
    Start typing the name of the application you want to run (e.g. "Aperture")
    Once you see "Aperture" selected, simply hit the [return] key and Aperture will launch
    Hope this solves you problem.

  • Illustrator and other CS4 Apps crashing in snow leopard

    Hello,
    Just upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6 and am having some very serious CS4 issues. I first noticed in flash when it constantly kept crashing on save. Now it seems that same issue is also on Illustrator durring open or save or export. I went over to photoshop and that's doing the same as well. The crash is similar on all programs in that it will thow a beach ball after you click save or open, then after a few seconds the entire program closes and two types of crash windows open. One that lets your submit a report and relaunch and the other seems liek the same thing with more options.  I am using a Macbook pro dual core 2.2ghz with 4 gigs of ram. Does anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    -Cody

    This is what I think the problem is that many of the users upgraded and there is a difference between Leopard and Snow Leopard which changes the way the OS works and interacts with the applications, but it is not unstable once you get a fresh start.
    But how do you get a fresh start if you really do not understand or have any knowledge of those components?
    Probably with a lot of pain and frustration.
    I experienced all of the issues that everyone else experienced the difference is I did not panic and I thought about what are the kinds of things that would be me a real fresh start.
    Short of an archival reinstall!
    This is what I did. Instead of trying one thing at a time I simply trash all those files I knew could cause the problem.
    Settings Folder ( it is important to trash the folder as it can itself be corrupt not just the preferences inside) then all the Cache files in the two Application Support Folders for the Adobe products giving me problems, any folder in the applications support folders under Adobe related to that application, Font Cache and the com.adobe.(Application name).plist files in the user preferences.
    Now also I will give you a possible universal cause for crashing and that is what caused Photoshop to crash every time I used it.
    The OS installed a font that it requires to run and I had substituted a postscript version of it prior to installing  the OS upgrade and it worked fine, the postscript version. But I now had a duplicate version loaded and I had a choice to disable it or deactivate the  postscript version which was the simplest thing to do and so I did it and Photoshop works and I notice that Illustrator behaved better as well.
    My printer drivers were not working so I downloaded the upgrade and it was still not working so I remove the driver from the printer list and then added it back so the OS would know it had been added. The printers work fine. Well I had to clean the nozzle so that the printer would do a good job.
    So it would be wise perhaps to try and get everything that can contribute to these issue off the system until the oS and the application can re create them in a fresh way.

  • Word, Photoshop, Illustrator and others quit unexpectedly on opening, over and over again

    I keep getting "problem reports" when trying to open applications that have worked fine for years.
    Microsoft Word, Photopshop, Illustrator an Avery CD Sticker maker all give me the problem report window with the yellow trianlge and exclmation point when I try to open them and say:
    "____ has quit unexpectedly. Click reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to Apple automatically."
    Clicking reopen offers the same thing again, and again, and again..
    It started yesterday with Photoshop and Illustrator, so I took them off my computer and tried to reinstall them. Now I get "Install Photoshop has quit unexpectedly. etc.."
    I ran the disc utility and it said my hard drive was OK.
    Help! All the programs I use regularly are affected.

    I took the laptop to the Apple genius store and after two and a half hours of trouble shooting it turned out my User Profile no longer had permissions to open those programs. And they couldn't be changed. They had no idea why this could happen, but the genius set up another User, gave it permission and deleted the first one. Problem solved. Whew! He's never seen sanything like this before.
    Gotta love the Geniuses at the genius bar!

  • Just got CC - my Creative Cloud app pauses when installing Photoshop or Illustrator and other apps. Help! :)

    I've been on 41% for a few hours now.. ?

    HI justchaddles,
    At 41%, Creative Cloud Desktop application tries to extract the downloaded component. Have we checked if there is any active antivirus running in the back ground that might be stopping it?? Try a new user account as well if the first step doesnt work.

  • My apple 5th gen ipod is connected to wifi but still cannot access safari and other websites..can some1 help me out?

    my apple 5th gen ipod is connected to wifi but still cannot access safari,itunes and other websites. the ip address is not strtng wid 169 and i have reset the network settings also..can some one help me out

    The 169 IP address mans it did not correctly negotiate with the router:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
