Printing problems using Illustrator CS6 (Mac)
Hi,
I'm having trouble using Illustrator CS6. I just bought an HP LaserJet CP1025nw color printer. My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I've printed two different format files (.ai and .png) in Illustrator, but there are white lines (without printing) ocurring in the exact same place on both documents, this only happens in Illustrator, not Photoshop or any other software. I did a test using exactly the same .png file in many applications, except for Illustrator, the file is printed perfectly.
I asked HP for help, but they say this is a problem caused by Illustrator CS6 and they can't do anything about it.
What can I do to solve this problem? Could you please help me?
I've already installed the latest update of this software.
Thanks in advance.hong,

The latest firefox requires osx 10.5. My mac is 10.5.8 but the latest firefox will not run on my mac. I am allowed to download it but it will not function after I download it. With my present firefox I am denied many functions on various sites, particularly on youtube.

CS3 Illustrator and Free Transform Tool
I have a problem with the function Free Transform Tool in Illustrator to OS X. After clicking on the icon Free Transform Tool object can become distorted. I got command key, I'm with the cursor in the corner, but does not work. Tried the instructions here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/13.0/help.html?content=WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07 d0100196cbc5f-646d.html, but it also does not work. By someone he did not know where could be the problem? Thanks a lot.
Use Effect>3D>Rotate to rotate the PNG into a perspective plane. It is not as accurate as the distortion mesh method, but it might work for you.
Alternatively, you can use the distortion mesh method and edit the mesh with the mesh tool directly. It is tedious because you'll have o move the anchor points and direction points separately (The free transform tool does this for you in one step).
A third option is to download the 30-day free trial of AICS4. You can make the distortion then open the file in CS3.
I don't have CS4 either and I am forced to keep 2 versions of Illustrator on my machine because of this bug.
Adobe should not force users to upgrade, just to get a bug fix. -
Hi.
All is in the title.
If anyone could answer me.
I've got a licence illustrator CS6 windows, and It would sound me incredible, not to be possible use it on mac.
Thanks a lot.
AurélienThanks a lot Mylenium.
Another question, please : I still have a little doubt with terms (I'm french and my english is not perfect). If I request a platform swap for Illustrator CS6, the new platform product still will be a CS6 ? Because switch to the new version CC would be as if I hadn't yet bought a licence (a subscription would mean pay twice...).
Thank you for your answer.

Using Illustrator CS6, how to preserve drawn colors when Save For Web to PNG?
Using Illustrator CS6 on Mac OSX 10.9.1:
step 1. I open a new file for Web profile.
step 2. I verify that File > Document Color Mode is RGB.
step 3. I draw a square and set it's color to 0,103,197 (decimal).
step 4. I click File > Save For Web
step 5. In the popup that opens, I set to PNG-24, and verify the option Convert To sRGB is not selected.
step 6. Using the Mac's DigitalColorMeter, I observe the color is 0,109,191 in the Save For Web popup. If I save it, then open the saved PNG file, it's color is also 0,109,191.
How to do this so the colors don't change?
step 7. I close Save For Web popup.
step 8. I verify Edit > Color Settings for Working Spaces is set to Monitor RGB, and that the Color Management Policies for RGB is off.
step 9. I verify Edit > Assign Profile is set to Don't Color Manage This Document.
step 10. I verify View > Proof Colors is off.
Can anyone provide a set of Illustrator CS6 settings that let me save a PNG image with the same colors it's drawn in so I can use that PNG image in a website?
I must be missing something obvious, because anyone working in web design must do this day in and day out, please let me know what procedure people follow to achieve this.
UPDATE:
Using the above procedure DOES preserve the colors when embedding the PNG image in a webpage viewed in Firefox and Chome, but NOT for Safari. Also, the colors are not preserved in Mac's Preview software, as well as Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac.
I'm pretty new to all this. Hoping someone can provide some perspective on what typical procedure people use for web development when working with colors in Illustrator CS6.Using Illustrator CS6 on Mac OSX 10.9.1:

Illustrator CS6 mac performance issues
Hi there,
Ever since I've been using Illustrator CS6 on my Macbook Pro Retina, I have noticed the simple, but anoying performance issues.
The scrolling is so laggy, it gets irritating to move arround the project.
Is there any problem with the software? Compatibility issue perhaps? or am I doing something wrong?
Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks,
Gonçalo EspinhaMuch the same....
Clearly nobody loves retina mac users. -

How do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book
how do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book?
Do you have a copy of Illustrator installed?
Then just begin at page 1, read it and practice what you read. Step by step.
If you don't understand parts of it, dive into the manual as well or ask a question in this forum. But mind that not everybody has a copy of the Classroom in a book. So you need to ask your questions precisely and post screenshots of your artwork. -

Hi. I'm using illustrator cs6 on pc. I've made a scientific figure for a paper and now I'm trying to export as a png or save for microsoft office. Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg. Must be making a school boy error! Please help!
In similar cases, my solution is to "select all" then "deselect" only the artwork I want to keep and "delete". If I'm curious I may "cut" then "paste" to see what shows up in the center of the screen. it is usually some stray point. or other element out direct sight.

How to insert a mailto: tag using Illustrator CS6?
I am creating an online ad and need to insert a mailto: tag. What is the best way to do this using Illustrator CS6? The final needs to be delivered as a png file.
Hi Larry, yea I looked into the capability of the PNG file format and realize that this was going to be an issue.
I was really hoping that someone knew a workaround using slices or exporting the file a certain way. Yet another issue Adobe should address considering the trend towards online media.
Thanks for your help. -

I downloaded and used illustrator last night, but today it crashes on opening? can any one help?
The only reason I download from Creative Cloudd is because my previous software copy is no longer supported, feeling very frustrated!Tabitha,
Many still use unsupported ealier versions, and there is no real need to upgrade unless there is a real need.
Unless you have done something like installing new fonts or made other changes, it may be releavnt to look at the following list.
Or you can try this specialized forum (where you may be able find the answer from previous threads),

or Customer Care (tick I Still Need Help and hope for an agent available for a chat),
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=illustrator&topic=downloading-installing-and-s etting-up
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (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.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 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);
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, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
