Having trouble selecting text in Illustrator CS5

Hi!
I've a little problem, when I select text by double click it do not show me the black selection...I don't know why?
Any ideas?
Thx
Ciao!

If you double-click on a text with the selection tool, the text tool should get selected and the text-cursor is set into the text.
What do you want to do with the text object? Do you want to edit the text (then double clicking is OK) or do you want to push the text around the artboard, then don't double click.

Illus. CS3 Windows: Im having trouble selecting text when objects are beneath it.

Technically, I CAN select text, its just a pain in the ***. There is a very fine line to click on and I usually end up selecting the obnect that the text is on top of. If someone knows another way to do this I will be most appreciative.
Cheers,

Have you perhaps enabled the Type Object Selection by Path Only option (see Illustrator preferences) ?
If so, disable it.

A problem highlighting/selecting text in Illustrator CS3

In several instances I can't highlight text to copy or to edit, other times it works fine. If I click the radio button for the text in layers (other layers may be locked to prevent accidental selection), the baselines appears and I should be able to highlight the text, but I can't. If I highlight some other unaffected area of text successfully (unlocked layers), sometimes it will allow me to select the problem text directly after. Then it will go back to being a problem, why?

I'm using the general text tool, I've locked the other sublayers to avoid accidentally selecting those items. Then I click the radio button on the sublayer I wish to edit or copy, which reveals the baselines. Then if I click within that object to highlight text with the cursor, the text tool creates a new textbox/sublayer and does not highlight the text I intended.

Trouble selecting text

I've never had trouble selecting text by moving the cursor to the beginning of the text and holding down the "mouse" and scrolling down to the end of the area to be copied, pressing the command button + c and voila! But tonight, the spooks have come and won't let me go directly to anything that is about 6 double spaced lines from the bottom of the page and then wants to put some light sepia colored box. I'm working on my dissertation and I don't need this trouble. PLEASE, PLEASE help me figure out if I've accidentally set something wrong. I need answers ASAP.

While it's readable, export your document as Word and as RTF so you will have ways to revive it if needed.
Try to export it as Pages '08
then open the new Pages '08 document in Pages '09 in hope that the transcoding will clean the odd behavior.
You may also try to open the doc in an other user account. If it behaves well, you will know that something is corrupted in your current account.
Most of the time it's the Preferences file :
Macintosh HD:Users:<userAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
Quit Pages
drag the preferences file on the Desktop
Restart Pages.
If it behave flawlessly, the problem was in the prefs. Continue to work with the newly created prefs file.
If nothing change, move the preferences file back in it original location to retrieve your original settings.

On each devoce Look at
Settings > Messages > Send and receive from
Make sure these settings are correct.
Then look at MMS in the same area. Male sure MMS is turned on and check to ensure your carrier included MMS in your cellular plan.

How do I know if my mouse is bad? I'm having trouble highlighting text with my mouse, model A1152

How do I know if my mouse needs to be replaced or if it something else? I am having increasing trouble highlighting text, it either won't hold the highlighting, or it won't highlight . . . making it impossible to create a link in my emails, to delete text, or copy and paste.
I have an iMac that is about 4 years old and the mouse that came with it uses a USB port to connect.
Thanks for any information or suggestions.

Is it one of those with a little moving/rotating ball on the bottom of it? Have you ever taken that out and cleaned it and the area holding it? It could be dust/dirt in there. I always used a QTip slightly moistened with alcohol.

Trouble selecting text inside an AP Div

I've been having a problem every time I try to select text within an AP Div container. Instead fo placing the cursor inside the div, my cursor turns into the hand, and if I'm trying to select, I end up moving the div around. As far as I know, the "hand" icon should only be there if I hover it over the border of the div itself, or if it is selected at the bottom of the screen (which it is not).
What I've ended up doing throughout the past few weeks of class is double-clicking to select a word, and then from that point, I can select normally, even after I change divs. That is, until I close and reopen the file.
Anybody have any ideas why this is, or how to get around it otherwise?

The reason is probably because the text fills the full height of the AP Div. It's usually not a good idea to put text in an element that has a fixed height, particularly an AP Div. If the text size is increased, it will spill out of the div and overlap other elements below it on the page.
Double-clicking is the correct way to open for editing an element that has more content than its declared height. The alternative is to right-click and select Element View > Full from the context menu. After you have finished editing, press F5 to restore the page.
Well, the templates I've created had only a few lines within them, no where neare filling up the div's. Also, they all have overflow set to auto so they generate scroll bars.
However, if double-clicking is the correct way to open them for editing, I guess that's that. Your alternate doesn't seem to make any changes at all in respect to this behaviour.
Although perhaps I should mention that I'm using a Mac (OSX Snow Leopard) to do this, not windows.

Q Having trouble with shortcuts in illustrator( Please Help)

I am having trouble with shortcuts when i exit the program and then try and use shortcuts it wont work till i go back into edit and shortcuts menu and click ok to the defaullt setting and i have to keep doing this???? Can some one please helpme. I am very new to illustrator and i am trying to learn the shortcuts. Also im not very good with technical stuff so please make answer simple if possible Thanks

If you are saying that you use the default keyboard shortcuts list, and every time you open Illustrator you can't use any keyboard shortcuts, this must be a bug.
I'd suggest changing one keyboard shortcut, or as many as you would like, and save it as a new list. Maybe it won't be bugged like the default list.
If that doesn't work, my only other idea would be re-installing Illustrator. But wait to see what others say here, before trying to re-install.
Good luck!

Having trouble with Color Swatches - InDesign CS5 to CS6

This may be a repeat - I'm not sure I posted properly the first time.
Having trouble with the Swatches in CS6. When I add our institution's colors, they look dull/gray in CS6. I know it's not just my screens because I created a quick EPS in CS5 for comparison. When I add the EPS file to my doc, the colors pop into the Swatches box but they are clearly different colors. The most remarkable is Pantone 484, which used to be a bright scarlet. Now it's a strange, dull mauve.
I took a screen shot to show a colleague with more experience, but he's stumped. There are very few of us that use InDesign on our campus and we're all self taught. Our tech folks usually come to US for solutions.
I did try the instructions under "Display or Output Spot Colors Using Lab Values" in the Help menu, but nothing changed. That seemed to be the only applicable FAQ that I could find on my own.
Here is the relevant chunk of the screenshot I took - can anyone see what's gone wrong? Color blocks are "old" colors, next to Swatches which show the "new" hues.
Thanks for any help!

Having trouble receiving texts

I am an iPhone fanboy I will admit but the recent occurrence possible missing texts is causing me to question my Apple Preference. I seem to be having the most trouble receiving texts from Verizon customers as a friend the other day inquired as to why I never respond to his texts. I fear the answer is because I do not get them in the first place.
Is anyone experiencing any similar problems?
Any help would be wonderful, thanks.

I had a similar problem with pics from Verizon customers.
The person sending me the pics updated his Verizon software and all was fine.
