Illustrator CC 2014 panels not expanding

Suddenly my panels don't expand. The "Expand Panels" double arrows work for expanding entire columns of panels, but individual panels in a column don't expand.
Panel icons turn dark, but don't open panel.
Panels undocked (dragged out of column) expand fine and act normally, but I don't want all my panels scattered around my workspace.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Carlos

Just curious, is there another fix to this? That one worked, but I prefer to have that feature off just aesthetically. It seems to have happened once I updated my mac from Mavericks to Yosemite. Like I said, it is working but just being picky and curious, if there were another way to make it work, that would be great!

Installed OS X Yosemite, and Illustrator CC 2014 will not print

Just Installed OS X Yosemite, Mac Powerbook. and now Illustrator CC 2014 will not print to my HP Laser jet Pro 400, But Acrobat, Photoshop do. Any advise, I even Uninstallled and reinstalled the HP Drivers.

Did you also uninstall, run the cleaner tool and reinstall all your Adobe apps. In recent versions of the Mac software (10.7 and up) migration will not work reliably with the Adobe Suite.

Illustrator CC 2014 will not open, gets stuck on loading page

My illustrator CC 2014 trial will not open.
It gets stck on the following loading page...
I have re-booted my computer, signed out of creative cloud, done all software updates but still no progress.
Any suggestions to re-boot my illustrator would be more than welcome!
Thanks,

I have given up trying to solve this problem and gone back to Illustrator CC which works just fine. Every time I try to start up CC 2014, it gets stuck at that screen you see above and each time is is a different font. Reading fonts...various font name here. Sometimes it's an English font, sometimes it's an Asian alphabet font of which I have zero use for.
Maybe someday someone will figure out the problem and reply here. Or maybe I just made a suggestion to someone else trying to solve the problem and they'll just go back to CC as well. Keep paying for CC 2014 and use an old version. Good one Adobe.

Illustrator CC(2014) does not open or create new file in Window 8.1 Pro

My illustrator can launch but once I tried to create a new file it would freeze and will not respond anymore.
I also tried to open existing illustrator files it just create a blank white illustrator window and does not respond afterwards as well.
I tried to reinstall the illustrator for times to fix to issue but it doesnt work.
All the other applications (photoshop/indesign...) work perfectly, but obviously there is a bug in illustrator...
Have any other people experienced similar issue and know how to fix it??

Did you uninstall then used the Cleaner tool before reinstalling?
Is a printer connected? Is the driver up to date? Printer turned on?
Do you have any third party plugins installed?
A graphic tablet?
Any other hardware?
Font management? Which one?
Have you already tried setting up a new user account (Admin) and launching from that one?

Blank grey panel showing up in PS 2014, panel not loading

Not an issue with the extension. Sometime loads properly. Sometimes after clicking into the window.
How to fix?
Is there a log somewhere that would provide clues?

Please refer to the System Logs section at: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/creativesuite/pdfs/CC14_Extension_S DK.pdf
Increase your logging to 6 and then send the two log files generated to me at lesavage at adobe dot com
I am also concerned that you are not sure where this extension has come from. Do you think you purchased it on Adobe Add-ons?

Illustrator CC 2014 documents won't go full screen (and the UI is extremely low resolution)

Illustrator CC 2014 does not seem to be running correctly. My documents will not go full screen. As you can see, there is a huge white gap surrounding the entire document. I cannot grab the corners or sides to stretch it to full width. On top of this, the whole interface is blown up and looks very low resolution.
Compare this to a screen shot of the previous version on the same computer:
The document will expand to the full width available and the the UI looks much better. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am using Windows 8.1

Since you still haven't got your data from the drive(s). I would advise performing a Windows installation without formatting the drive... I don't like this solution but at this stage you have probably tried everything else.
Use a Windows 7 Reinstallation DVD when installing ensure you select...
Select Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)
If you do not select any of the drive options and simply highlight the largest partition and select next:
Windows will dump all the old installation files in the Windows.old folder

Illustrator CC (2014) update failed

Have tried clicking the Retry button and restarting. Below is the exact error message.
Error message:
Installation failed
Installation encountered an error. Please restart your system and try again.(15)
More information
Exit Code: 15
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR:
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 0 fatal error(s), 0 error(s)

I had a lot of problems getting some of these 2014 updates to install. Most of the applications installed properly, but I had errors on both Photoshop and Illustrator CC and CC (2014). I also had a problem with Bridge, elements and InDesign. I finally rebooted my computer. I got failures again on all the same programs. Then I launched Photoshop CC (2014) just to see if it even worked. It did launch, but it immediately crashed. I also launched the failed installation of Illustrator CC (2014) and it did not crash. But after this, I initiated the updates again individually and each one installed without errors.
Photoshop CC (2014) now shows everything is up to date, but it still immediately crashes as soon as it finishes loading on launch.
Illustrator CC (2014) does not crash on load; I don't know about being active in it.
InDesign CC (2014 does not crash on load; I don't know about being active in it.
I don't know if this same "stab in the dark" method I used will work for you, but I thought I'd share it anyway. If it works, maybe reply here and tell us whether or not your Photoshop CC (2014) crashes or not.
Edit - Added Information: Normally, graphics driver updates do not help any problems I have ever had, but in this case, updating the driver for my graphics card has stopped Photoshop CC (2014) crashing.

Illustrator CC 2014 tools won't expand on non-touch screens

In Illustrator CC 2014.1.1 (18.1.1) the tools in the tool panel won't expand when the main Illustrator window is not on a touch screen. I am using the regular interface, not the touch interface.
I have three monitors, one of which is a touch screen. If I move the main Illustrator window onto the touch panel then the tools all work as normal. As soon as the Illustrator window is on another monitor, it is impossible to expand any of the tools that normally roll out to reveal extra tools. This has been driving me crazy for a month, and it was only today I discovered what was causing it.
Even if the tools aren't on the touch panel, they still work okay so long as the main window IS on the touch panel. Conversely if I move the tools to the touch panel but keep the main window on a non-touch panel, I can make them expand on the touch panel but ONLY with a finger touch and not with the mouse.
This is obviously a programming bug, but I have in case tried resetting my settings several times (and disabling settings sync). Illustrator CC (non-2014) still works fine, as do the pop-out tools in InDesign CC 2014. Prior to patching to 18.1.1 this worked fine in Illustrator CC 2014 too.
I am using Windows 8.1.

I reset the preference file more than once, just to be sure - has no effect.
As Monika says, you can ALT+click tools to cycle through them, but this is only a temporary solution and it would be good if the software could be fixed. It's very frustrating not being able to easily change to most tools from the UI. For now I have put my most-used tools on a custom tool bar instead.

Character Panel isn't updated when selecting different type objects - Illustrator CC 2014.1.0 (october release)

If I have a Type Object selected that is, for example,
set to Helvetica, Bold 32pt size and 40pt leading,
when I select a different Type Object with entirely
different settings, the Character Panel does not refresh
to reflect the currently selected object.
This seems to happen more often than not - maybe 80% of the time.
My current work around is to change a value in the panel, then quickly change it back.
Current setup is a mac pro
OS X 10.9.5
Illustrator CC 2014.1.0 (october release)

Hi Marshal,
Try to reset the preferences to default:
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Illustrator. Your current settings are deleted.
Remove or rename the AIPrefs file (Windows) or Adobe Illustrator Prefs file (Mac OS). New preferences files are created the next time you start Illustrator.note: It is safe to remove the entire Adobe Illustrator Settings folder. This folder contains various preferences that can be regenerated.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sumit Singh

Illustrator CC 2014 Links Panel Displaying Incorrectly

Hi,
I am having trouble with the Links panel in Illustrator CC 2014.
The panel does not display correctly, it seems to hide all of the link information and preview unless I enlarge the panel to a huge size.
Even if I resize the window it still displays incorrectly and hides all of the link previews. The same also happens when I hide all of the link information as well.
Is anyone else having this problem and / or has a solution?
Thank You.

Has a solution been found?I am actually having another issue with the links panel and the links themselves. Sometimes my links panel will not even show up when clicking Window>Links Panel. Whether it shows up or not, I can no longer work with linked images in illustrator. Simple clicking on a linked image inside a clipping mask causes illustrator to stop for about five minutes. Releasing the clipping mask takes another five. Moving the image behind the clipping mask takes another five along with re-making the clipping mask. It is certainly not the hardware because I can quickly minimize illustrator, make edits in PS, download a movie while playin iTunes...while illustrator is taking 5 minutes to move an object. I am truly stumped by this, someone please help as it costing me hours and hours of time at work.

When I create a rectangle, I can not to change the shape of a rectangle with the cursor in illustrator CC 2014 For what?

When I create a rectangle, I can not to change the shape of a rectangle with the cursor in illustrator CC 2014 For what?

Xavigarcia,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:
