How do I turn off the gradient tool?

Dumb question, but I made a gradient and now every rectangle I draw is a gradient. I've tried several things, but I can't get it to just draw a single color rectangle.
Also, I imported a 32-bit floating point tiff from Photoshop, which had been converted from a Kodak DPX in Graphics Converter, but Illustrator would only open it if it was 8-bit. I don't suppose there is any way to deal with 32-bit images in Illustrator.

Try setting your fill option without anything selected to the required fill then it should draw all new stuff with the new fill
In all things adobe i think... With nothing selected or txt box draw the things you choose become the default for everything you do.

How does one turn off the URL tool tip

When the cursor hovers over a web link a tool tip appears giving the links URL. How can this event be turned off, or better, turned on/off through the context menu?

And, uh, the list of hidden commands is available where exactly? This could lead to serious trouble/fun.
My list isn't available publicly; I got it from my contacts at Apple. There is a partial list of some of these hidden commands Secrets here, but you can easily damage your system if you don't know what you're doing. That means, unless you're prepared to recover from a completely non-functioning system, you shouldn't be playing with these commands. Apple does not support them in any way.

In Photoshop CS6 how do I turn off the move tool popup showing the mouse coordinates?

I just installed Creative Suite CS6 and in Photoshop, when I use the move tool a small popup window shows the mouse coordinates. I can't see any option to turn this off, either in the Options bar or the Preferences. It's really annoying. Can someone please help?
Thanks,
Joanne

Thank you so much! Sometimes I miss the lack of user manuals but I know it saves trees.

How do I turn off the Highlight tool?

I have tried the following three things:
(1) Tools > Comment and Markup > [tried clicking on "Highlight Text tool" to un-check it, but the check mark remains].
(2) Comments > Comment and Markup Tools > Highlight Text tool (clicked on it to uncheck, but again, check mark remains)
(3) View > Comment and Markup > [clicked on the Highlight tool icon--which I had done to open it--but it remains shaded, meaning that it is still on]
Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Just go back to the Select tool:
Tools > Select & Zoom > Select Tool

How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

Howdy,
I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
Thanks!

Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference. Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.

I accidently click for a full screen view on Firefox and now I can't undo it. My bar with tools, bookmarks, etc. is not visible. As the browser opens, the bar appears but then jumps up where it can't be reached. How do I turn off the full screen?

Co-el, This wasn't possible as there wasn't a navigation bar available. The F11 did the trick though. Thanks for adding to the discussion.

How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut. I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom?
When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut. I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection. All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again. The big arrowhead just get's in the way. The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down. If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences? I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

How do I turn off the downloads window?

How do I turn off the downloads window? I recently upgraded FF, hated the new one, so downgraded back. When I upgraded I got the new downloads ribbon at the bottom of the screen and no longer had the downloads window. However, for whatever reason I decided to turn the window on. But when I downgraded I realized that this interferes with programs that I had previously set up to download directly to a certain program. Bottom line... I do NOT want the downloads window.

I know you can go to Tools, then Options, and click the Downloads tab and configure how you want it that way. Do you have the Download Manager Tweak as an add on?

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.

I assume the Rulers are showing. In that case, to get rid of each line use the Move tool to straddle the line and drag it whence it came. I really didn't need to add this comment but it is the first time in years I have had a chance to use the word "whence".
Is this a guide I see before me? Doeth it conspire to confuseth mine eyes with sapphire lines that afoul my worthy parchment, and draw my quill from its righteous path? Be gone foul guide from whence thou cometh. Verily, forsooth, and hey nonny nonny.

HT1657 How can I turn off the scrolling movie ads in itunes store?

How can I turn off the scrolling movie ads across the top of the screen when I open the itunes store and am in the movies section?

Thanks varjak paw.
I was afraid this was the case. To the degree that Apple marches down this well-travelled road towards making money by trying to pound customers into submission with flashing ads, etc. that actually serve only to aggravate and drive away at least people like me (28 year user of macs) from both Apple and whatever is being advertised, and indeed get in the way of my being able to efficiently do what is my part of what I always thought was the core of the synergism between Apple and its customers -- them innovating to provide the best tools to help us to be creative and productive, then the company will find itself sharing that space with myriad other companies so bankrupt for ideas and innovation that they have no other possible strategy that to promote mindless consumerism. That does not seem a place of strength for Apple and a complete forfeiting of its unique position. Sad to watch.

How do I turn off the "dynamic trim mode"?

How do I turn off the "dynamic trim mode"? I hate it, hate it, hate it. For those that love it... great. I am glad you do, keep working. I tried to adapt, but it just isn't worth the hassle. For me, I want it gone forever. Too much zooming, no simple ripple delete.
Again, if you love it, great! I want to turn it off, how about me adobe? I am so ready to move back to CS5.

Hi Jim,
You're right. What I wrote isn't the actual problem. My mistake.
The real problem is this:
If I select an edit point with the Selection Tool ('V'), for example, and then change to the Rolling Edit Tool, the cursor doesn't change while hovering over the currently selected edit point, and the only way to use the Rolling Edit Tool on the selected edit point is to first deselect it and then reselect it again. The same problem occurs vice versa.
If you toggle the trim type to "Roll" after selecting the edit with a keyboard shortcut this is not necessary. It might take some getting used to, but see if that works for you.

If I select an edit point's left side (outgoing clip) with the Selection Tool, but then want to select the right side at that same edit point (incoming clip), dragging the cursor over to the right side of the edit point has no effect (i.e. the cursor stubbornly remains a left-pointing arrow for editing the prior clip's out point). The only way to select the right side of the edit point to first deselect the left side (i.e. click on any clip) and then select the right side. The same problem occurs vice versa.
Again, toggle the trim type with a keyboard shortcut (Shift-T is for Windows, Ctrl-T is for Mac), then your tool will appear and behave as expected.
It sounds like you wish to have the Final Cut Pro behavior, where the cursor that is chosen will appear over the edit, regardless of how the edit is selected. Note that here you must click to select the edit with the proper trim type before you drag the tool.
In Premiere Pro, the cursor will not change to the selected tool unless the edit is selected with the corresponding trim type. If you want to click and drag the trim tools as you did with Final Cut Pro, yes, you must deselect the selected edit point first.
Anyone can send me a PM at any time. I'm your representative to the Premiere Pro team.
