Ghost selection

Is anyone else having a problem with the selection tool in Illustrator CC(2014)?
When I start click and dragging on anything in an artboard the selection tool (ghost) pans and selects on the bottom left of the artboard making it impossible to select anything else. I've tried restarting Illustrator, restarting the machine (Mac Book Pro, OS 10.10.2) and even uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator. This happens on a bluetooth trackpad and on the Macbook Pro's trackpad as well.
If anyone has an idea of what's going on please impart your knowledge, its been a very unproductive day because of this.
Thank you.

Unfortunately this has nothing to do with your chosen tool. I've been using a trackpad and it has worked for me since Apple started shipping Macbooks with them.
The underlying issue is with the software. It only happens with Illustrator. Even as I let put my hands up the selection and scrolling still happens. I've uninstalled and reinstalled CC to no avail.

  • How can I use PowerShell to Remove "Ghost" (Old Hidden) VMware Network Adapters in Windows 7?

    We recently upgrade the virtual hardware of some of our VMware VM's running Windows 7. One side-effect is that in Windows on these machines, an instance of the NIC from the previous version of virtual hardware remains, as a hidden
    device. This can be easily found manually on a machine by enabling Device manager to show hidden devices (registry and a menu option - View...Show Hidden Devices). You can then just right-click on the device in question and uninstall.
    The problem here, like in so many other tasks, is that you may have multiple instances, on multiple machines. We had just that, and in scouring the internet for a PowerShell only script to resolve the issue, I could not find one. Therefore, I've written
    my own.
    This exact script is only seeking out VMware "VMXNET3" nic cards, but could be easily adapted to find Ghost NIC's for a different vendor using my example. There are also some commented lines left in to aid you as an example of how you can
    test the various queries in your own environment, on a test machine, before a full-blown deployment. 
    NOTE: Please try this out (at your own risk - I am not responsible for how this works out for you), and please vote for my answer to this dilemma if this helped you. I'd appreciate it after all of the sweat the script took to crank out.
    Thanks!
    P.S. This script, of course, requires that Powershell is installed and enabled on the target computer. It then must be run as System - In our environment it is being remotely pushed through a software delivery systems, which runs this scrpt
    as system.

    Hello Octavio,
    I'm having similar issues with azure VMs (windows server 2008 and 2012). I noticed that the name of the network adapter changes every time the servers are turned off and then on.
    For example every time I perform that action on each VM, the network adapter became to "Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adapter #3" (and then #4, #5, etc).
    I found in to many forums that to resolve that is needed to remove Hidden (Ghost) Network Adapters and most of the people is doing that manually from the device manager (right click on the hidden network adapter and select uninstall).
    Then I found this script created by you and made some changes to find Description -like "Microsoft Hyper-V Network*".
    It seems to find the adapters and also remove them (based on the script results). But if I go to the device manager after restarting the server, all hidden (ghost) adapters are still there (for example Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adapter
    #2, Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adapter #3, Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adapter #4, Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adapter #n).
    The only thing I noticed after running the script is that, in the Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center, the name of the adapter has no # (Now is shown as “Ethernet” and before as “Ethernet #”)
    This is my script, could you please take a look and tell me if there is something wrong o missing?

  • Error on selecting object in ILLUSTRATOR CC

    Hi everyone, i have problem with selecting object in illustrator CC, when i select the current object it will also select the other object, i cannot select the object i want, not on the group or clipping mask.. always highlight it both. it often times happen when i doing so much vector object. any help from you guys is so much appreciated..
    thanks
    Creig

    This has been happening through so many versions that I no longer remember when I first encountered it.
    One trick that occasionally works when you get such a 'ghost' selection;
    Create another object (a small square or whatever).
    Select it. Your new object and the ghost will be selected at this point.
    Align them using any one of the alignment buttons, it doesn't matter which one.
    Immediately undo the move (Cmnd/Ctrl + z) and deselect your new object. About nine times out of ten the ghost selection will be gone as well. If so, you can delete your extraneous object and continue working (until next time).
    It doesn't always work. But it is quicker than a restart when it does.

  • SET PARAMETER ID sak - Simple doubt

    Hi Experts,
    PLs. clarify me that,
    I copied standard SAP prog. RFITEMGL into my_z_rfitemgl prog.
    Actually, this prog. is for Transaction code of FBL3N.
    So, issue is that,
    If I(some one else) ran this tx FBL3N, with selection criteria, say, G/L acct of my_acct_01 and with company code of my_cc_01, then get BACK/F3'ed.
    Then, If I ran my_z_rfitemgl prog. with my OWN selection criteria in my own selection screen, say,
    my_acct_02
    my_cc_02
    BUT, SOME TIMES, still, system is fetching the data of my_acct_01, my_cc_01.
    This is mainly happening with 0000000 values in Acct filed of FBL3N tx.
    1) So, pls. let me know , How to fix it?
    I guess, SET PARAMETERR ID SAK space; SET PARAMETERR ID BUK space will help me.
    2) if so, Shuld I write it at the beginning of the prog?
    thanq
    Edited by: Srinivas on Apr 9, 2008 5:35 AM

    thanq
    u mean, like
    START-OF-SELECTION.
    LOAD-OF-PROGRAM.
    1) Its enough?
    2 )can u explain, pls. the follwing,
    Be aware that RFITEMGL use the parameter id to communicate with the LDB program behind. (So if your Z-program does not clear each and every parameter used by the standard program, some "ghostly" selections may arise in ldb program)
    am passing G/L accts, BUKRS, 2 check boxes from my_z_prog.
    3 )So, do, U mean,  I need to clear them, at the beginnning?

  • My HDR & Photomerge are broken!

    My HDR & Photomerge are broken!
    Recently the functions for moving multiple images into HDR & Photomerge via Tools and Automate is not working. When I try I get dialog boxs that are incorrect and the software will not allow it.
    I've update, removed added items from Photoshop, have plenty of memory devoted to Photoshop, spent hours working with Adobe tech, now waiting for an answer from them takes 72 hours.
    Has anyone else experienced this and have you found a solution?
    HELP ! PLEASE !

    Adobe CS6 Beta -Crash
    Steps:
    Select 3 images in LR3.6 > Edit in Merge to HDR Pro in Photoshop (CS6)
    In CS6:
    select Preset > Saturated
    Check Remove Ghosts, select EV0 image, and Edge Smoothness
    Click OK
    This works the first time I do an HDR but the second time I do it without closing down CS6 I get this error message:
    I also tried it without using the Edge Smoothness and got the same message.
    Opening files from within CS6 instead of LR3.6 gave the following error the 2nd time I did an HRD:
    I have Vista64, 12GB RAM, a dedicated partition for the scratch file, 97GB free with only 3.6GB used by CS6.

  • Fireworks CS4 animated gif - ghosting - Help Please!

    I have creadted a skyscrapper ad using Frieworks with a gradient on the background. When it is played on a PC (I use a Mac), there is ghosting of the text. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? It looks fine on my Mac. When I save as an animated gif, I select dither to make the gradient look smoother. Help! Please!

    Hi,
    Animated gif backgrounds with gradient would definitely look ghosted or distorted because of the way GIF images are generated. Take a look at the solution suggested in this tutorial http://www.smartwebby.com/free_tutorials/website-design-how-to/GIFs-optimization.asp - I think using the Exact setting might make your Animated GIF with gradients smoother.

    Corrected typo: ora 12530 was the original error reported, not 12503.

    nothing in the alert. no traces, dumps, nothing. A switch last night Mon May 7 22:10:05 2012, and the PID kill from that SQL session with error 472 which I know is something external killing the instance. Im not too bothered by this though, Ive never EVER seen an instance be open with out the corresponding OS processes

  • Trying to get into the app store and it asks for my password. The problem is that it is showing an Apple ID I don't use ghosted in. I can't figure out how to use my correct ID.

    Trying to get into the App Store to update some apss. It asks for my password but the problem is that it is showing ghosted an Apple ID I don't use. Can't figure out how to fix it.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • My iPhone 5 claims to have 1.81GB(211 photos) of storage taken by "Photo Library". How do I locate and delete these ghost images to free up my storage space?

    Hello. I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now. I just did a factory reset on it for the first time. When I look at storage usage in my iPhone settings, or when I connect my phone to iTunes, it claims that I have 211 Photos taking up 1.81GB of my storage. I'm very confused why because I've deleted every single image I can find. I deleted Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Facebook, etc., assuming that one of these apps was storing these images somewhere. After doing a full factory reset and iCloud backup(excluding photos), I still have the 1.81GB of photos that I just cannot find. I've already tried to delete them through iTunes, unfortunately to no avail. It specifically states there is 211 photos taking up the space. Can anybody help me find these ghost images before I lose my mind??

    Copying files works OK, but not moving.  It seems like recently(iOS8?), when you try to delete photos from an iPhone that has been mounted you will get a 'permission denied' error. I haven't found a way around this. 
    I've resorted do manually deleting using one-by-one selections on the iPhone itself.  Dropbox carousel is great for this but I don't use Dropbox yet.  They other way is to do an iTunes sync and then delete the synced folder contents but that just feels 'weird'. Maybe there's a good App out there for photo management.

  • Can't remove ghost object in Pages doc imported from Word

    Hi there,
    I imported a Word .docx into Pages '09 for it's better layout and figure handling capabilities.
    I ran into a few issues with page numbers from Word being converted to background/master objects, but overcame that pretty easily.
    The problem I now have, is that it seems one of the figures from the Word document has become some kind of unselectable ghost object. Which is only apparent because text is inexplicably wrapping around an empty space.
    I've tried all the tricks I've found to select background and master objects with no luck. Has anyone encountered this before?
    I'm attaching a jpeg of a screenshot of what the document is doing. Invisibles are on, so you can see that there aren't spaces, tabs, etc or an object. Yet the text is wrapping as if an object were there.
    I've already made edits to the file, so I would really prefer not to have to delete figures from the Word file and re-import to Pages to fix this...
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks very much!

    Ah great, it worked!
    A warning to others, exporting to Rtfd and re-importing to Pages seems to have removed many of my tables and figures from the original document, in addition to the weird ghost figure. I was planning on cleaning up the figures anyway, so this is not a problem for me, but others who try this should be prepared to lose many (but not all, oddly) of their inserted objects.
    Thanks very much Fruhulda!!

  • HELP! Ghost files and empty Applications directory

    Just to set the stage of the issue, here's a what little background I have....
    Im a long-time MacOSX user, and requested a Mac when starting my new job.  I started today and was given a hand-me-down Aluminum 27" iMac, running 10.6.8.  After some minor cleanup of someones old documents I started working, soon I stumbled into the "Home" directory and found the directory like this screen cap...
    http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad355/KeyMedia/fileissues.jpg
    Greyed out, ghosted files!?  From my first impression, it look like something I could just hopefully trash and move along, but it wasn't.  The "Move to Trash" progress bar/dialog box, got stuck.  I then went into "Force Quit" and re-launched the Finder.  After seeing that the files didn't make it to the trash, I tried it again with the same results.  THEN, I started digging around the home folder directories, and discovered that only 2 of the many applications that were already installed, populated in the "Applications" folder within the home directory!?  I had previously launched several apps before hand from the "stacks" folder that was already in the dock, as well as selecting the Applications shortcut in the sidebar of the finder, which populated all the apps!?  Seemed very strange and something I have never run across.  And just FYI, there is only one user account on the iMac.
    A couple more qwirky things that happened through the course of the workday, was when trying to save to the "Desktop", made those files (.PDF & .RTF) invisible.  When I say invisible, I could not find those files anywhere on my system visually, but when going back into text-edit and doing a "Save-As" back to the desktop, the were visible on the Desktop, but only in the Save Dialog Box?!  After that finding I rebooted my Mac and after reboot, The files automatically appreared on the desktop, and didn't have that problem anymore today.
    One more little thing....After the final reboot, a "ds.store" file appeared on my desktop?!  I haven't trashed that file, which it probably will not let me.  If im halfway correct, the "ds.store" files are normally placed within folders and directories to keep the MacOS file structure in place, and possiblly if deleted that it will get regenerated upon reboot, but again never tried to move this particular file fromt he desktop.
    Looks to me like some preferences, or ds.store files got out of place and the file structure for the OS is out of place and isn't staying clean, but that is a big guess.
    If anyone has any insight into these issues, what me be causing it, or what can fix it...I would greatly appreciate it!!
    Thanks in Advance my fellow mac users!!

  • New User - Cannot select drum kit loops

    Hi,
    I am a trying out GarageBand for the first time and having a lot of fun.
    However I was following one of the Apple tutorials where I clicked on song writing and had a basic drum track. The tutorial said if you don't like the drum track you can delete it and then use the Loop browser to select different drum kits.
    However when I click on the Loop browser I can't click on the drum kit icons to then select a drum loop - they are all ghosted out - like as if they are not installed on my system.
    Yet the basic drum loop played fine - so it must be there somewhere.
    Do I have to install these loops somehow like I had to install the instruments? (The system told me I needed to install some things online - but I've not seen anything regarding loops)
    Help !!!
    Thanks

    In case anyone had the same problems as me - I had to use the Applications disc that came with my laptop to re-install Garageband from the DVD.
    Just take care using it - make sure you backup your system just in case (always a good idea) - insert the disc and follow the instructions. Make sure you take all the tick boxes out of the other applications so that you only install Garageband.
    Then let it install and when the computer restarts there are all the loops in their glory.
    Its a shame that Garageband lets you download the loops online because that is a complete waste of time as even after downloading 1.2 gigs worth of data Garageband ignores the loops even though they are there on your system. The only way to get the loops to work is by installing off the dvd that came with your computer.
    Hope this helps other users.
    Cheers
    Phil

  • How do I turn off preview of hidden areas when dragging an image in frame with Direct Select Tool?

    CS5, Not sure how to word this...
    In previous version of ID, if I had a graphic in a frame, I could drag the image around inside that frame with the Direct Selection Tool.  I can still do this with CS5 but it seems to want to show the entire image in a ghosting way that is outside of the frame.  Is there a way to turn this preview type look off like it was in previous versions?  I feel like its slowing my computer down bigtime because I am dealing with a large image.  Everytime I click to drag it, everything slows to a crawl and unusable.

    Go to the Prefernces and set Live Screen Drawing to Delayed.

  • Ghost image in InDesign CS5

    I opened a file that was created in CS4 in InDesign CS5. I have been working on it for a few days. I am now on page 39 and I am encountering a very annoying and puzzling problem.
    On that page, I had an image with a caption behing a text box that runs on the whole page. Wrapping for the image was set to wrap around.
    Now in CS5, the text is OK but the image and caption are like ghosts - I cannot select them, delete them, edit them. They were on the same layer as the text, send to the back. When I make the layer invisible, the text, image and caption disappear so they are still on the same layer. I moved the tex box away and the image is there but untouchable. When I updated the image which I edited, the image updated but wrongly since I added some info on the bottom and now it is cut off. The image is still there unmovable!
    How can I get this image to become accessible now or how can I delete it and start over?

    In order to see the previous panel, the layer panel had to be opened and here is how it looks. There is no locked layer at all. The picture in on the top layer (green - labeled Text) When I hide the layer the text and photo disappear. So the photo is on the same layer as the text as I placed it. When I move the text out, the photo is there in the middle of the page but cannot be selected. The photo is not locked and was not locked earlier either. When I right click on the photo area, nothing happens because it cannot be selected. If it was locked, normally it still could be selected to unlock it. But it is not selectable. It is like a ghost but at the same time, since it was originally set to wrap around, when I move the text over it, it wraps around the box that I can otherwise not select.
