I am having problem with using the Basic brush definition

I am having problem with using the Basic brush definition. When I try to click on it will not allow me to use it and will automatically use the 5 pt. oval brush definition. The only way I can use the basic brush is after I have already drawn something and then I have to click on the stroke and then press basic. This is incredibly annoying and if anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. (I have Adobe CS6)

for whatever reason, the basic 'brush' you see in the brushes palette effectively means removing any brush from a path. to draw with the brush tool you need a brush defined. in your case the last one selected being the 5 pt oval one.

Basic is not a brush, only a starting point for you to make a brush. Load the real brush you want before beginning to draw.

having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool

Marco,
If no good reason, such as the one suggested by Silkrooster, is present, you may try the list, hoping for one of the easy ones at the top.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Why can't I use the Basic brush tool?

I'm learning the ropes of drawing in Illustrator and I've fallen at the first hurdle. Why can't I use the Basic brush tool? Whenever I select the brush tool and use the 'Basic' brush type, the cursor turns into a hashed circle indicating I can't draw. If I load other brushes, I can draw with other brush types, but I can't use the Basic one. If I select the Basic brush when I have other brushes loaded and try to draw with it, it always defaults to a different brush! I don't understand why.
On a related matter, I'm also having trouble changing brush size. I know that using the [ and ] keys changes brush size, but I have no idea what the values are. If I try this in Photoshop, I can see the brush size in the Options bar, but in Illustrator it doesn't appear anywhere! Not in the Brushes palette, the Stroke palette or the Appearance palette. Where can I see the brush size?

First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

I get a "no" symbol when I try to use the basic brush.

If I switch to an artistic brush it will work, but every time I try to switch back to the basic brush it just switches itself back. VERY FRUSTRATED...
Thanx.
Debi

The "Basic" brush is not a brush but a place holder to be replaced by a real Brush. Have you tried one from the Brush Swatches in your file?

There is a problem with using the new Hotmail attachment buttons with firefox 3.6.8

I use firefox 3.6.8 browser and was unable to use the new attach file buttons in the newest version of hotmail. .
I sent a help request to microsoft and got back a 'generic' answer that the new hotmail works with all browers; ie, safari, chrome and firefox 3.0+.
Well, that is not exactly true. Because I then troubleshot the problem by opening hotmail in ie vice firefox I was able to attach multiple files (pics/documents) with no problem.
I then went back to firefox and still had the same problem.
The mouse pointer just hovers over each icon where there should be a button and no clicking is there to be clicked....so, there is no way to attach.
hopefully you'll get it worked out soon.

Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
As for your problem, hopefully this support article is what you need:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites+look+wrong
In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

SOLUTION: Are you having problems with using HDV, FCP X and iDVD?

If you edit HDV (TAPE) in FCP X and want to burn the video in iDVD you will find the following problem . . . iDVD squashes the image as shown in the screenshot below.
Whether you export as ProRes or H.264, iDVD will see it like this as a squashed image.
This is because iDVD does not recognise HDV anamorphic images unless they are in the Apple Intermediate Codec.
There are 2 solutions to this problem:-
1. Create a ProRes 422 Custom Compressor Preset with a frame size of 1920 x 1080.
The only downside to this is that the conversion process in my 2008 iMac takes about 5 times realtime.
2. Create an Apple Intermediate Codec preset for HDV. This encodes on my iMac in around realtime, so it is at least 4 times faster than the ProRes solution.
Unfortunately, if you have Compressor 4 you cannot create Apple Intermediate Codec presets, but Compressor 3.5 will and what is more important, that preset can be installed in Compressor 4.
So you can export your HDV project from FCP X using Compressor Presets in either ProRes or AIC and use the resulting file in iDVD to get a correctly proportioned image like this.
I prefer to use the AIC preset as it is 4 times faster and there is no quality difference on the final DVD.
What do you do if you haven't got Compressor?
Well you can email me for a 12KB copy of the preset as I believe FCP X can use it even though you don't have Compressor.

Ian,
Thanks for the tip!

Having problems with copying the OS X to new SSD - SSD keeps ejecting itself

I recently bought an OWC 6G Mercury Electra 240GB SSD and a data doubler for my early 2011 MBP. I replaced the MBP's optical drive with the old HDD and installed the SSD to the main HD bay. After erasing&varifying the SSD I started cloning my old system to the SSD. This is when the problems started. The SSD keeps ejecting itself everytime I try to copy something to it or when I try to varify it. My OS X is 10.9.2. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

There is a recall on the 15"
Apple Recall
https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues
Are you using Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper? Did you try cloning from an external USB? or to one holding the SSD?
If the latter is successful, that would point to the SATA cable being faulty.
It does seem that SSDs are more sensitive to a defects in SATA cables than HDDs are.

Problem with using the import tool under User Admin role

Hello,
I have created a role through the import facility under the User Admin role:
[role]
ridpcd:portal_content/content....
rdesc=my role
Although I have recieved a successful message I couldn't locate this role, not when I was searching it in User Admin or under the pcd location where I asked to create it.
I then imported a transport package from another portal that contains a role in the exact same pcd location, this time an actual role has been created.
The problem is that when I try to use the import facility again to assign a group to this role I get: Error: Role found, but unique name "pcd:portal_content/..." is not unique!
When I search User admin for this role I get only one and when I go to this pcd location I only see one role so I don't understand this message and how can a unique pcd location cannot be not unique.
Any ideas...?

Try performing the import again, but this time do not use the fully qualified pcd path. Just specify the rid without the pcd definition. In otherword if you did a search in the user admin for the role ID you would not use the full pcd:rid just the rid value.
The alternative is to first delete the role and then import again. The reason you are gettign the problem is that the pcd generates a unique sid entry for the role and thus the manner in which you are performing the update using the full pcd path is not allowed. For this reason drop the fully qualified pcd path.

Problems with using the 'Dip to Color' dissolve

On a short project we decided to use the dip to color dissolve. We wanted the scene to desolve to white and selected the color without problems, however, on applying the dissolve it goes to white as intended but then dissoleves to black halfway through the transition. We should like this to stay white and then fade to the the next scene from white.
Any suggestion would be welcome.
Regards,
Tom

Well too me it looked ok, but I have now adopted a work around - by using opoacity over a white background on a lower track which produced the desired result.
Thanks for getting back to me - I shall explore this transition/dissolve further some other time.
Regards,
Tom

Having a problem with using the brushes

I am going to post my problem in steps so that it is better understood.
1. I go to the brush menu at the top left corner
2. I go to the down arrow to select a brush
3. I see the brush choices
4. I want to scroll up or down to find the brush I want
5. the choices disappear and it will not let me view the brushes, only the one that is already visible is the one I can use.
Help me please! I can not find the answer to this anywhere. I have tried resetting the tools with no success.
Thanks to anyone with an answer~

Problems with using the singlewrite function (in the CWDIO control)

Hi,
I'm using an old nidaq card (PCI 1200) with nidaq 6.9 (the card is not supported after this version).
I'm using a CWDIO control to send regularly orders to an other card (an order every 50 ms for example) using these lines of code :
CWDIO1.Ports.Item(1).SingleWrite (128)
CWDIO1.Ports.Item(1).SingleWrite (0)
The problem is that I have blanks in the orders sent. During 2 or 3 seconds, the orders are sent, no error or warning are made by the code, but the orders don't appear at the output of the card. After this blank period, the orders reappear (as if they were queued somewhere) and during 2-3 seconds the orders are well sent in real-time and a new blank period begins again ...
Where am I wrong in what I made ? I tried using CWDO control but I had some problems too (the Progress event doesn't raise)...
Antoine

Hello Antoine,
Do you see the same behavior when you are testing the device from the test panels of MAX ?
Do you have also try to test the examples for VB without Component Works "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\VBasic\Do" ?
Do you have also the same behavior running the Measurement Studio examples "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudio\VB\Samples\DAQ\Digital\Digital Output" ?

Having problem with downloading the window driver

Hi i have Macbook. i have OS X 10.6.7. I installed Window XP using bootcamp. only problem is that i dont have the original disk when i bought the Macbook. is there any other way to download the driver without the original CD? Thank you.
(and for some reason it wont let me download the windows support driver... do i need Blank CD in the Mac to download it?)

Hi,
sorry to say but you need the original OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
No legal place to download those. Only the later updates which require the Drivers from the OSX disc to be installed.
With the exemption of the MacBook Air the download of the 'Windows Support Software' does not function currently.
Regards
Stefan
