How to open toolbox in Illustrator CS5

Hello,
I'm having trouble finding my toolbox. When I open illustrator, it's not there. Usually I go to Windows > control or something, but I don't have that.
Please help me!  I need it for an assignment in class, and I would really appreciate someone helping me as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance!

this can be because of a couple of reasons. The first is that you are holing down the option/alt key when launching Illustrator if so stop doing so.
Or if you made what you think is an alias of Illustrator by holding the option key down when dragging to make the alias but instead you made copy because you actually have to both the command and option while dragging to make an alias.
If you launch from a copy of the Illustrator app from a copy that resides outside the Illustrator Application folder you break a lot of links hence the roblem of them not loading.
Or you simply moved the Illustrator Application outside the Illustrator Application folder you will now have to drag back to the folder.

    Doug's got it right. It sounds like you are trying to open a later version file in an earlier version. This will always be handled as opening the PDF portion of the file. Try Googling AI_openMultiPagePDF for a script to open these or Resave from the newer version to the older.

  • Let me choose which font(s) to substitute when opening an Adobe Illustrator (CS5) file

    Hello!
    I have an illustrator Windows file, created by someone else, and one font is missing.
    When I open the file, Illustrator says a font is missing and it will substitute the missing font.
    How can I tell Illustrator to use a specific font instead of Illustrator automatically making that decision for me?
    Thanks!
    Rowby

    Rowby,
    I am afraid it is impossible.
    You will need to see which font it is substituted by, and then you may change it with Type>Find Font.

  • How can I change my Illustrator CS5 Adobe ID and password

    Hi all!
    I am having problems to share my screen from Illustrator CS5 since I lost my password. Everytime I try to share my screen I am having the same message "An internal error occurred. Please try again." over and over. I have tried everything they suggest at the forums without success I think the only way would be changing my Adobe ID FROM or inside = Illustrator CS5 and clean the old password and ID...any suggestions?
    Please help I am desperate!
    THANK YOU!

    The Connect Now feature is not part of Creative Cloud so this is not quite the right form for the question.
    The Connect Now feature in Illustrator CS5 is a part of the www.acrobat.com family of services. Are you abel to log into http://connectnow.acrobat.com directly from your browser?

  • How to open Adobe Media Encoder CS5 in Windows

    Please excuse my ignorance but how do you open Adobe Media Encoder?  I've searched everywhere and cannot find a solution.  In Adobe help,it says it's in the start menu under all programs but all I have been able to find is a folder with a bunch of dll files.  If I try to export a clip from Premiere Pro, It doesn't open, no error message or anything, simply nothing happens.  I found an update but that still didn't do anything, still no luck in finding it.  Thanks in advance for any feedback. 

    On my computer folder structure is...
    Program Files... Adobe... Adobe Media Encoder CS5
    Includes (along with a lot of dll files)

  • How to open files in PS CS5?

    1) I installed Photoshop CS5 under Windows 7 64-bit and used it and Bridge successsfully.  However, when I download a new jpg file, it wont open in CS5 - if you right click the file, it offers many MS programs and also PS Elements, but not Photoshop. It is not even on the list of programs. What am I doing wrong?
    2) I ended up with two desktop icons:  PS CS5 32-bit and ditto 64-bit.  Which one am I supposed to use?   Why two?

    If its not on the list you need to browse to the photoshop Icon and select it as the application you want to open JPG's with, you will likely end up with this situation with all your image files.
    You can fix it easier by using the bridge, and selecting the file types that way, or  you can do what i did...  you open the bridge, choose file type assosiations from the list. click the reset to default, Uninstall and reinstall CS5 and it will fix its self right up. 
    It has something to do with the previous install that causes it.

  • How to open or place Illustrator 6 files in Creative Suite

    I have dozens of Illustrator 6 files created 1996-1997, both .eps and .ai, that I suddenly need to access after all these years. I have tried both opening them as well as placing them in CS 2, 3, 4, and 5 to no avail. I get a message that "the file is in an unknown format and cannot be opened" in Illustrator and Photoshop. In InDesign, I get "Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation." No luck with Acrobat or Distiller, either. I have tried changing extensions from .eps to .ai and vice-versa. No luck. Can't open them in Preview, Graphic Converter, or Inkscape, either.
    Does anyone know of a way to get these ancient files into Creative Suite? Perhaps a plug-in or third-party software? Anything? I am on Mac OS 10.6.5. Thanks.

    I will look into drop box as well I have a paying YouSendIt account but drop box might be good as well.
    Back to the OP's quest, were these files created by you or abtained via e-mail?
    were they ever stored on an external drive or perhaps a drive thart went belly up?
    Were they ever record to removable storage, I suspect they have goten corrupt because of hardware issues.

  • How can I uninstall Adobe Illustrator CS5.1

    Hello everybody,
    Can you help me? if so, thanks
    For some unknown reasons my Adobe Illustrator decided not to open. So then I decided to uninstall it, but when I run the uninstaller .. nothing happens
    so is there anyway that I can fix this problem or a way that I can uninstall Adobe Illustrator, so then I can install it again.
    Thanks.

    You're right.
    Well I have a Windows 7. The thing is that last time I closed my Illustrator really fast and I even didn't save what I had there. After that I tried to open my Illustrator again, but it didn't open. I tried uninstalling it from CCleaner,You Uninstaller, Control Panel, and the regualr Adobe Illustrator uninstaller. Yesterday I uninstall it using "You Uninstaller 2012" but it didn't uninstall it for me, it just removed it from the list of the uninstalling programs.
    I don't think it have to do with brushes / fonts, because I installed brushes long time ago and I didn't have to update it and I have the fonts long time ago + my photoshop is working well.
    There isn't really any updates for my windows, but I have a "auto update" so maybe when it updated my computer, my Illustrator crashed? I don't really know.
    Is there any "Adobe tool" that can fix all adobe products? or do you have any solution?
    Thanks.

  • How to open .pdf in Illustrator, and not the pdf compatible half of file.

    We first get a digital proof form printers as .pdf. Sometiems they save them with PDF compatible on. This makes my job harder because will get ilustrator asking for all the links when opening the .pdf.
    What we do is open the .pdf form the printere, adn paste this on topof our orignal .ai file. Thi sis to proof what theyt changed. Adding in theri product numbers, adn updating the UPCS is about all we want to see. What we look for is shifting type, or missing elelements.

  • How to download and install Illustrator CS5?

    Hello,
    I am trying to download and install CS5 however Adobe Download Assistant doesn't download anything.
    All the time it shows no soft after logging in. I have tried some forum advices in the context, but with no effect.
    To add to this:
    I have changed my profile password few days ago, and... after changing it I was logging using the new pasword.
    Today, I have to use old password again. And even more interesting is that on my profile it shows no orders which were there
    before: Flash CS5 and DW CS5.
    For Gods sake! What are You doing out there? Change the IT specialist or something Guys, because it becomes pitiful at the moment.

    I guess You're right, but Chrome collects data about it's users and I don't like to deliver it to Google. No particular reason for this, but i somehow don't like the idea of being followed and my consumer model to be created.
