Get Rid of Illustrator CS6 Gradient Banding

Hello:
I am very new to Illustrator and I'm having a problem. I have a gradient on a business card I'm making but it's banding.
I've uploaded the gradient background illustrator file here: http://f.cl.ly/items/2L0C0S3v1Y1U2U3D2F3r/GradientBanding.ai
How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Garrett

a) AI calls its workspace "Preview" for a reason
b) Monitor limitations myay contribute further (limited gamut on LCDs)
c) There will be banding once it goes to print
In conclusion: You can't fix it unless you change your design. Large, uniform gradients are always problematic.

Illustrator cs6 gradient mesh issue

Trying to work with gradient mesh colouring the nodes and every few nodes I colour the selection stops working and i cant select the mesh. Doesn't matter if which selection tool I use or even the gradient mesh tool its still the same issue. I can see the mesh lines and when i click with any tool on the mesh lines will show up in black but i cant select it to see the nodes. The only way that i've found around this is to save the work, close the file and reopen it. It's starting to be a pain as im having to do this every couple minutes.
I've done all CS6 updates and still getting the same issues so now im stumped.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Illustrator CS6 gradient mesh

I've got two objects that I would like to apply a gradient mesh to. They're both compound paths and despite lots of mentions on the internet that you can't apply a gradient mesh to a compound path, you can. When I select one I get the option to create a gradient mesh. When I select the other I also get the option. However, no matter how I try to join the two objects (releasing compound paths, selecting everything, creating new compound path) when combined, they won't allow me to create a gradient mesh. What's weird is that even after I've done this each object still allows me to create a gradient mesh but when I select both of them together they won't. I've tried everything, pathfinder options, reversing paths etc. but nothing works. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Yeah, I tried Unite, Exclude and Divide to try and achieve what I was after however none of them worked.
Let's say it's this logo. It isn't but it will do for illustrative purposes as it is similar to the one I am working on. Let's say the logo itself is one of the objects and the 'TM' underneath is the other object. In my case the 'TM' is the brand name so it's a bit more important and much larger. I can select the logo and apply a gradient mesh. I can select the brand name and apply a gradient mesh. However I can't select both and apply a gradient mesh. In the case of the starbucks logo, how would I knock out the crown i.e. make it white out of the green, without using a compound path? Using pathfinder commands result in a compound path.

How can i get rid of bridge CS6?

I would like to uninstall the 32 and 64 bit version of bridge CS6. How i do this?

M1garcia Bridge CS6 does not have a separate uninstaller. You will want to uninstall all Adobe applications which include Bridge to remove the installation. This would include Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign CS6.

Adobe Illustrator CS6 MENA (Middle East North African) version with support for Hebrew text

Hello, I have a questions. I work for Kao USA. Currently a number of of our employees have Adobe Illustrator CS6 (all Licensed). How would we go about getting the Adobe Illustrator CS6 MENA (Middle East North African) version for Mac machines? Also, would this be included within the same license or would it require us to purchase new licenses altogether? Thanks

In CS 6 this is stille a separate software.
You better take the international CC, than you have the languages to.

Trying to get rid of banding in an Illustrator CS6 image

I'm working on a small project in Illustrator CS6, and a gradient within the project is quite visibly displaying banding. I would use Photoshop's dither to fix this, if not for the fact that I'm going to export this as an SVG, rather than a raster image. What can I do to get rid of this banding?

When I try and open adobe illustrator I get a pop up message saying "To open "Adobe Illustrator CS6" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime."

When I try and open adobe illustrator I get a pop up message saying "To open “Adobe Illustrator CS6” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime." it also says "Click “More Info…” to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website." When i click more info it transfers me to an apple page which never loads, its just a blank page. I downloaded Java SE 6 like it says it needs but it did nothing. All of my other Adobe programs such as bridge, dreamweaver, lightroom, Photoshop, indesign, and flash all work except for illustrator. What can I do to fix this?

Go to Apple and look for the Java for OSX 2014-001 link. Download from there and install it.

Get rid of intrusive HUGE and UGLY dark bands behind HUGE icons on Home Screen

How do I get rid of the intrusive, huge and ugly dark bands behind the huge icons, and reduce the size of the icons on the Home Screen?
On my 8320 I can use pictures of my kids for wallpaper. On the 8900 they have wasted half of the beautiful screen with these huge ugly icons and dark bands - cuts right through two of my kids eyes and two of my kids mouths and below.
What were they thinking? They advertise the 8900 (and the 8520) by emphasizing a full screen picture - but when you actulally buy the phones, they have inserted these cursed screenscape hogs. Any firmware fixes yet? Or, now that Nokia has released their E71 that not only handles email as well as my BB, but also allows me to create and edit docx, should I abandon the 8900 as a lost cause and buy the E71? And, as long as we are discussing RIM's myopic short sightedness, why no 3G on this device?
Please hurry, my buyers remorse clock is ticking and I need to send this thing back to the carrier if it can't be fixed.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, to change the size (I have six icons per row not five) go to options>advanced options>accessability and change the amount on the grid. Default 6x6, then 4x4 3x3 etc., you can also change the colours. Hope I`m not barking up the wrong tree but have bbn of help! Regards Kew

How to get rid of the illustration (next to the song's title) on my 160GB?

Hi a while ago I bought a 160 GB IPOD and it works fine ... There is just one annoying thing : I only use it for playing music and it put as much information as possible on it via iTunes... now when I play my iPod, there is this annoying illustration (a picture of a music note) that takes half of the screen : in many occasions : I can't even read the whole name of the artist...
I can't find how to get rid of this ...
Can you help me?

There's no way to get rid of it. Sorry.

Issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run

Since a couple of weeks ago, I have an issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run When starting the application I get the following error:
"The procedure entry point ?AcquireVarient@ImageInterface@drawbot@dvaui@@QBE?BV?$intrusive_ptr@UImageInterface@drawb ot@dvaui@@@boost@@V?$rational@J@5@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library D:\Program Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe."
I'm running it on Windows 8 (x64). I have multiple other Adobe applications installed, which are running fine. I've tried solving the issue with reinstalling Illustrator - multiple times. My GPU driver is updated to the latest version.

I have this issue as well on my Mac and called tech support 4 times and they can't fix it. Adobe has really gone down hill in a short amount of time!!
Only thing that worked (as a temporary fix) is to create a new user and toggle back and forth between two users which is very annoying. Adobe has tried uninstalling, reinstalling, taking over my computer remotely, trashing plugins, verifying permissions but the fact remains that we bought CS6 four weeks ago and Illustrator doesn't work.
I'm going on Facebook to let others know.....don't buy Adobe, it doesn't work and they don't know how to fix.

How can I get Illustrator CS6 to update? I get Installation error code U44M1P7

I have a windows 8.1 machine. When I installed Design Standard CS6, I got error messages for Illustrator CS6, Photoshop CS6 regular and Photoshop CS6 64-bit.
I checked for Adobe updates, and after installing all of these, I still get an error for Illustrator.
It tells me "Adobe Illustrator CS6 Update (version 16.0.3) Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
From some of the other message boards, I have seen the thing to do is re-try the update.
I have done this three times, but Illustrator still has the same problem.
What can e done to troubleshoot? I am directed to contact customer care for this issue.
Thank you.

How do I get rid of the gradient that appears on both my home and lock screen?

Hello, I'm curious as to if there's an option for being able to get rid of the gradient that shows up on my wallpapers whenever I set it/unlock my phone.
If possible, can it be made customizable? Like, to be able to have the option of not having one at all, and what color we'd like the digits (on our clock) to be? This seems more like a suggestion rather than something I'm actually seeking help for, but if possible, can this problem be solved? I (and many others) are not comfortable with the dark hue in order for the time to be visible. Can the place of the time be customizable as well? (agh I'm sorry for acting kind of greedy but it seems like much of a problem.)
