How do I "get outlines" in Illustrator CS6. Option was available in version 4, but now is gone. Have tried copying an InDesign-created outline but it will not copy.

If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe. They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud). You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

this is my set of saved actions...i was told to paste it in here...is this what you ment?

Who told you to post in the scripting forum…? To be honest you a talking to a pretty small selection of AI users here… Actions would be better discussed in the General Fourm where more users use them… That and I don't know a user who posts in this little community who uses CC yet…
#target illustrator
var aiActions = File( Folder.desktop + '/YourActionsNameHere.aia' );
if ( aiActions.exists ) {
          app.loadAction( aiActions );
} else {
          alert( 'Could NOT locate your Actions' );
I've no idea if the above works Im using CS5 so can't test… You could try adding to a Startup Scripts folder in your app folder…

In CS4 I had bridge on the top tool bar, How do I get it there in CS6

In CS 4 I had bridge on the top tool bar, how do i get it there in CS6?

Not that I advocate keeping Bridge running all the time (heck, I don't use it at all), but one possibility that comes to mind is to set the configuration for it to start in the background when you log into your system. Then it can be running and available on your Taskbar (or dock).

How do i get authorization to reinstall CS6 as I have a license?

I would like to uninstall & reinstall CS6. I have a license and am afraid I will not be able to reinstall. How do I get authorization?

I dont understand why I cant find it in my downloads folder. At the time I copied the files that looked like it might be what I needed & only today learned it was nothing but fonts.
The pdf download instructions are there. Purchased in june 2012. Anyway, I dont have it. I bought it from techsoup. Have a confirmation email from them but nothing with the serial number.
The problem I'd like to solve is with Bridge. I started having problem recently. It constantly demands I purge cache. Gets really frustrating, but it works in CS5 & so I'll just have to use that & forget about uninstalling/reinstalling. According to some of the forum stuff I was looking at about this problem it might not even fix it.
However, I expect to get a new mac this year and will want to install CS6 on it, so it would be good to get it worked out now.

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.

Outline Tool-Illustrator CS6

Whenever I apply the Outline Tool (CTL+Y) while tracing over an image in Illustrator CS6, the image over which I am tracing with the Blob Tool is not visible. Turning off the Outline Tool brings it back. What am I turning off to prevent viewing the layer below that I am tracing over. (I've tried applying reduced opacity without any success)
Thanks, Reconman

Double click on the thumbnail of the layer with your raster image in it and select "template" in the dialogue box.
Then make a new layer to do your tracing in.

How can I permanently save my Illustrator CS6 preferences?

Each time I open Illustrator, I have to open preferences and go through changing everything back to the way I like it and it's getting really old. How can I permanently save these settings? I've read this article: (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-630ca .html) but I think it's for older versions because I couldn't find the Adobe Illustrator Preferences file, and even if I did I wouldn't know what to do with it. I'm on Mac OSX.7. I previously used CS4 and it saved my preferences the first time permanently. Help!

Can you check the permission on the following folder :-
<startup drive>/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/
Make sure you have the read and write permission on the "Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings" folder with all the enclosed items.

How do I get Photoshop and Illustrator side-by-side with dual monitors?

I currently have my dock on the left side of my left monitor and my menu bar is at the top of my right monitor. I would like to be able to have photoshop and illustrator side-by-side (one in each monitor). Is this possible? Thank you!

keep them both open
If you mean, how can both MenuBars be showing at the same time, you can't. But their windows can be there, you can click on a window to make it active, cut from it and click on the other window and paste into it.

How do I get the Adobe Illustrator Trial Download Serial Number?

Hi!
I've just downloaded the Trial version of Adobe Illustratot and the Setup is now asking for the Serial Number. How or where do I obtain this?

To use the trial does not require a serial number - you get a serial number when you purchase the software. If you are not being offered to continue the trial when you open the software, either you did not download an actual trial version or the trial has prenaturely expired.
You might also want to check the following if the trial involves Creative Cloud:

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.

How to recover unsaved files on Illustrator CS6

I've spent hours on work and i've lost it all. I don't think i saved it which was really stupid of me!! is there anyone that could possibly help me!

Melissa,
It is advisable to save regularly, not only with the same filename, but also with different names, and in different places, to rescue things that may otherwise be lost in file corruption.
And you may also consider autosaving.

How do I get CS6 help, not CC?

I had a specific question about opening templates, or wondering where to get them, for InDesign CS6. I don't have CC, can't afford it since it's for personal use.
However, there's no product specific help files, and the Online now offers pretty much CC only help. How do we get help just for CS6?

Illustrator CS6 to Powerpoint 2011 (Mac)

Hi All,
Please help, I've been searching for hours trying to find a solution to this and can only find a patch for CS5!
How can you export vectors from Illustrator CS6 to PowerPoint allowing them to be editable in Powerpoint? I've tried every vector format (ai, eps, pdf, wmf, emf and on importing/pasting/paste specialing (which used to work in older versions of Illustrator) but it seems to either rasterize, or fill the bounding box. The shapes themselves are not editable in any form, colouring or otherwise.
Please help!
Thanks
Pete

Old post, but seeing this for the first time…
Unfortunately, on the Mac side, it has not been possible (at least in PPT versions 2004 and up) to bring in vector objects (in any format) from Illustrator to PPT and turn it into an editable PPT shape. It will either just come in as if it were a PDF or as a raster image. There are two options to get around this:
1) If you export the Illustrator graphic as an EMF (doesn't matter what version of Illustrator or whether Mac or Windows), then import that into a Windows version of PPT. Then ungroup and you'll have editable PPT graphics that you can recolor/stylize just like a PPT shape. You only need Windows for the import to PPT portion of this, and once you have it in a PPT file, you can move it over to Mac. Yet another example of MS shutting out a capability in the Mac version of Office!
2) If you don't have access to a PC to do this, you can try OpenOffice (Mac) to import EMF files and break apart to create shapes. Then save as a PPT file and open in PPT. However, the resulting shapes I've seen from this method can turn out imperfect, especially if they were small vectors and you blow them up in size. So, okay for small icons, but if you need larger graphics, then method #1 is better.
Hopefully a better method than those two can be found.
