Eye Droppering Appearances Not working

When I eyedropper a shape that has a drop shadow, rounded corners, etc, while another shape is selected, those Appearance attributes aren't applied to the selected shape.
Why is this? It works for color and stroke..and for type, it also works for point size.
what up?
thanks!

Double click your eyedropper and check appearance for both (the default is off, whcih most pepeoel agree is not the best choice).
At times when one of your items is grouped, you may have difficulty picking up settings. This happens because Illustrator becomes confused when for example you have a drop shadow at the group level, and are trying to apply at the object level. In that case, you can make a graphic style, and apply the graphic style.
You can also drag the little icon preview from the appearance palette on top of your destination object.

Select same appearance not working

I have 3 copies of a shape, with two of them I am able to select > same appearance, and they select the other two, though one of them does not get selected and one of them will not even let me use this option, the menu is greyed out when I select it and try it. Why does it not work with one of them?
Thanks.

THere must be differences in their appearances.

Eye dropper tool not working! (color picker)

Okay, I am fairly new to photoshop, so maybe I am doing something wrong. My eye dropper tool is not working at all.
Say I want to select the color of someone's face. I click my eye dropper, then click somewhere on the subject's face. My foreground and background colors both become white (when one was previously black). I click on a green shirt... both are still white. I click something black... both are still white. Am I going about color picking wrong? I have tried the sample size as point sample, 3X3 and 5X5. No luck.
How do you color pick?

Make sure you are selecting the right tool. It's in the Draw section of tools. Please donot confuse it with Red eye removal tool.
Try resetting the Editor's preferences. To do it, close Editor. Open Welcome Screen. Before clicking to launch Editor, press Ctrl+ Alt+Shift and then launch Editor. It will open a dialog box. Click Yes. See if this helps.

My red eye tool is not working!

I am using PSE on a MacBook running OS X Lion. I am trying to remove red eye from some photos that I took and I used all three methods without succuss. I clicked the auto choice from the menu and the photo did not change. I clicked the tool on the toolbar and clicked the eye and nothing happened. Finally, I selected the eye and the selection would not stay around the eye. When I moved the mouse the selection disappeared. What am I doing wrong?

It doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong--theoretically the selection disappears and PSE fixes the red eye. But the red eye tool doesn't work on every kind of eye problem (not well on blown out eyes and not at all on pet eye, for example).

Could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? (I'm having trouble determining from your "More system information" whether it's enabled or disabled.) Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If you restart Firefox, is the issue resolved?

Eye dropper tool not working PS CS6

when I try to use the eye dropper it tells me it cannot be used because of a program issue. Anyone know how to fix this.
Thanks,

Have you tried resetting the tool by following 1, 2, 3?
Quit and restarted Photoshop?
Did you see whether resetting Preferences had any effect?

Update your graphics driver and check your color profile settings. Not a bug, just a bad configuration on your computer.

My Eye Dropper STILL does not work in CS5 while using Lion with one monitor. How can i fix this?!?

Hello everyone!
This is my first post because i have grown very disgruntled at the fact that my eye dropper does not work my Premiere CS5. I would use the Ultra Key a lot but now I obviously can not really use it too well because of no eye dropper. I saw that this problem existed after the Lion update but this really should have been fixed by now. I am using only one monitor also. Is there a way to fix this or is this still known to be broken? I paid good money for CS5 and would be very upset if the only way around this is to pay MORE money to upgrade to CS5.5. Thanks.

Thanks for the response Stephen! I find this very bad on Adobe's part though if they do not feel obligated to fix CS5 for Lion. Eye dropper is a major part of Premiere and i am going to be very dissapointed if they do not fix that. With the amount of money the Suite costs, they definitly should make sure it runs well for quite a few years. I would expect a copy of CS4 to be able to work too. If they do not fix CS5 all because the OS has changed basically tells me that every 2 years or so, they stop caring about their product.
Sorry i sound so bitter about this but it has really hurt my workflow. Ultra key is great and something that FCP does not have so it has the edge in that respect, but now i can not even properly use it. I have to go into After Effects with the same clip, use that eyedropper to get the correct color # and then copy and paste the # into Ultra Key in Premiere which is very very annoying and slows down my system quite a bit.
So basically, they are probably not going to ever fix this? Thanks again

Red Eye reduction not working

Iphoto 11
Red eye reduction does not work, auto is not selectable and circling eye and clikcingh does do anything.
I have trashed the plist file, repaired permissions and rebuilt the iphoto database. Nothing fixed the problem.
ANy other ideas I can try ?
all software updates applied , 10.7.3

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

XFCE4 not working properly display X as cursor not arrow pointer

Hi all
I have recently installed arch and XFCE4 as my desktop environtment everything went well for a few days.
But all sudenl 2 days ago thing appeared not working properly. Things displayed on my desktop are out of proporion mainly the X as cursor instead of an arrow, newly opened windows default to top right cornner overlap my taskbar panel not able to move this. I've tried to re-install xfce4 but weren't sure I did it correctly.
tried :
pacman -Rdd xfce4 xfce4-goodies
rm -R ~/.config/xfce4
then reinstall problem still occurs.
Any suggests and help would be greatly appreciated.
thx

Be sure you cursor theme is complete. Which one are you trying to use? Did you try setting it up from directly X confs?
There must be an option in window manager or window manager tweaks about overlapping taskbar. You can use alt+left mouse to move your windows till it is configured.
Reinstalling is as meaningless as deleting system32. If you are out of options, just delete your .config folder then reinstall.?

Eagle eyes web not working iOS 6

i updated my iphone 3g to ios 6, i have a problem because eagle eyes web not working, appear message that push video is not compatible

I would do as what Diavovex suggested:
Settings >>> General >>> Reset >>> Reset all Settings.
Once you have completed this, ipad will reboot, connect again to your Wi-Fi and then try to Reset imessage again. Just make sure your Apple ID and password are ok ...... try log in to Apple Store and if this is not an issue then I don't see why imessage cannot connect?

Eye-dropper Color Picker not working

None of the PPro CS5 effects I've tried that use the Eye-dropper for color-picking (UltraKey, Color Key, Color Corrector, etc.) seem to work properly. When I click on the eyedropper, the cursor changes to the eye-dropper pointer, but when I drag this pointer over any part of the screen, the swatch in the effects controls seems to vary between different shades of gray - not the color that is under the pointer. Likewise, when I click over a color, only the shade of gray is picked.
Clicking on the swatch in the effect controls to bring up the graphic color picker works just fine. Furthermore, in After Effects CS5 and Photoshop CS5, all of the color eye-droppers I have tried work just fine. Seems to be isolated to Premiere Pro CS5. Never had this problem with CS4. Any ideas?

Hey all,
This thread has been really useful to me as I have the exact same problem.... My problem is I do not have a machine like yours, I'm running on the most basic 13 inch MacBook Pro so 2gb ram, and I think Nvidia GeForce 9400M, will need to check, I purchased it in November 2009.
Is there anything I can do?
Cheers,
Jack

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess

Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
I tried to uninstall the application but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
Thanks for your help.

HT204053 When I try to login to my apple ID on my iphone 4 to use facetime, it will not work and tells me to check my connection? I have even tried creating a new apple ID but the same message appears

When I try to log onto my Apple ID to use facetime, it will not work and tells me to check my connection. I have even tried creating a new apple ID but the same message appears. I do not understand why this is happening, could anyone help me resolve this issue it is very frusterating that I can not enable facetime or imessage.

I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.
