How do I get my palette windows back in Illustrator CC2014?

I usually work out of the "Essentials" palette, but today I noticed all my palette windows have disappeared and I can't figure out how to get them back. No layers, Type, Characters, Swatches – etc. On the other hand I do have all the tool bar. I'm thinking I may've inadvertently hit a shortcut key that's temporarily hidden them.
I have noticed that the palette windows are there if I am in Painting, Printing and Proofing, Tracing, Typography, and Web. But not available for Essentials or Layout – until I did a reset in Layout and then they came back. I've done a reset on Essentials without any luck.
Working in Painting or some other format for now.
Thanks.
Sandra

Just because it wasn't otherwise noted...

That is easy to do, seeing as it's the TAB key. It's an off/on toggle.

  • How can i get the downloads window back? i hate the add-on thing at the top right. can i change this?

    I liked how FireFox used to have a downloads window when I would download. But, now its like som sort of add-on, it's at the top right and I dont like it very well. Can I get the window back somehow? Thanks, Lego893.

    There is a way, but it may not be supported for ever... If you want the old download manager back, go to about:config, click the I'll be careful, I promise! button. Then search for "download", and set the browser.download.useToolkitUI preference to true (double-click it).

  • How can I get my iTunes window back?

    Help!! My iTunes main window has suddenly vanished & nothing I have tried will bring it back. I've tried everything I can think of. There is nothing in any of the menus that will bring it back. I have re-installed iTunes but that didn't help. The window was still missing. I am stuck with a 'rump iTunes'. Any suggestions? Don.

    Thanks for the suggestion but I'm way past preliminary things like that. That was one of the first things I checked on. I've restarted umpteen times, I've removed the preferences from the Library folder in Finder & re-installed iTunes, but the window still doesn't come back. I've run out of ideas. Don.

  • How do I get my application window back on my desktop?

    I use an extra LCD display with my G5 which I have temporarily disconnected.
    When I use Sorenson Squeeze 4.3 it usually appears on the second screen but since I have disconnected it, the application window has disappeared off-screen. I have made sure that the computer doesn’t still think that the extra display is connected but this makes no difference.
    Please Help
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
    tell app "Sorenson Squeeze 4.3"
    set bounds of window 1 to {122, 132, 897, 517}
    end tell
    Press the Run button; changing the first number in the second line may be needed. This method does not work with all applications.

  • How do I get my scanner functions back on new Windows 8 laptop?

    Finally got my Pixma MX 420 into my wireless network with new laptop and Windows 8.  I can't find the scanner functions like it had before on two of my old computers. How do I get the scanner window back?

    Hi rlhag!
    The scanner function is available through the bundled software that comes with the printer.  Since you have Windows 8, you probably needed to download the drivers from our website.  You can download the scanning software, MP Navigator, from our website.  I will include instructions to download below.
    Please perform the following to download the software from our website:
     1.  Visit Canon's web site at: 
    http://www.canontechsupport.com
     2.  Click on SUPPORT & DRIVERS.  On the Support & Drivers page, select your model in the following manner:
          a.  From the first menu, select PRINTERS & MULTIFUNCTIONS.
          b.  From the second menu, select PIXMA MX SERIES.
          c.  From the third menu, click DRIVERS & SOFTWARE beside the PIXMA MX420.
     3.  Select Windows using the drop down menu SELECT OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION, then select your version of Windows 8 using the SELECT OS VERSION drop down box.
     4.  Click SOFTWARE.
     5.  Click on MP Navigator EX.
     6.  Instructions for completing the download and installation will appear on the page that follows.  You will also see a disclaimer at the bottom.  Review the disclaimer, and click I AGREE - BEGIN DOWNLOAD.
     7.  Once the download is complete, double click on the downloaded file to start the installation.  Follow the onscreen instructions to install.

    PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4.  How do I get my old fonts back?  Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts.  Dell Precision, Windows 7.  Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own?  If so, where are they in the directory?  A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program.  Please help.  If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them?  Thanks.

    All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS.  Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
    I don't do windows myself.

  • I've overwritten my Mac OS with Windows Vista, how can I get my Mac OS back

    I Was downloading a Windows Vista OS on my Mac and I accidentally deleted the Mac OS. How can I get my Mac OS back? Can I use the CD's accompanied with my MAC
    when I put the DVD to Install the MAC system from vista...It doesnt give an option for ordinary installtion but it gives me an option for remote installtion (which it needs an network or internet connection or something like that...) what should i do ??
    :(:(

    You need to repartition the drive. While booted from the DVD, select Utilities > Disk Utility from the menu bar. In Disk Utility, select the boot drive from the list on the left. It will have a long name starting with the capacity in GB. Click on the Partition tab. Choose "1 Partition" as the volume scheme. Click on the Options button near the bottom of the window, then click on the button labeled "GUID Partition Table." Finally, click Apply. When the partition finishes, you can quit Disk Utility and go back to the Installer. You should now see your internal drive as available for installation.
