Illustrator crashes when I use selection tools?

As of last night, every time I use the selection tool to click on an object, Illustrator crashes without giving me a crash report.  I've already tried restoring my preferences and that hasn't helped.
I'm running OS 10.6.8 and Illustrator CS6 16.2.1
Also, for what it's worth, I am also unable to use the selection tools to move objects in InDesign.  This started happening at the same time.
Any ideas?

kahoxworth,
You may try to close down all other applications and see whether it helps. Some can cause different kinds of disturbances; you can see a list of usual suspects in Item 7 in Other options; those are just the commonly known ones.

  • Illustrator crashes when I use the move tool. No help here in the forums. Ridiculous problem that is so basic and that completly ruins workflow.

    Illustrator (CS6, Creative Cloud) crashes when I use the move tool. No help here in the forums that I can see.
    As far as I'm concerned this is a ridiculous problem that is so basic - it should not happen for the price Adobe charges.
    Completely ruins workflow.
    Please help.

    Emily,
    Just to make sure, are all the faces of the Verdana and Tahoma fonts installed and enabled/activated through the OS (not font mangement) as TTF (not OTF)?

  • Crashing when saving using type tool

    Hi,
    Has anyone else found an answer to why Fireworks CS5 crashes when using the type tool and saving?
    I saw this thread but there is still no real resolution:

    Hi Steve,
    Its CC and it was working perfectly.
    I was on OSX Mavericks when I last edited documents.
    I've updated the OS to Yosemite a few days ago. Illustrator and Photoshop worked perfectly on Yosemite.
    I also installed a few fonts, which worked on Illustrator, if that's of any help.
    I've uninstalled all the recent additions and tried using InDesign afterwards, but its still crashing.
    I can post the error log I receive.

  • I must have a setting wrong on PSE 10.  When I use selection tool and select color, it is always blue.  What am I doing wrong?

    I must have a setting wrong on PSE 10.  When I want to fill a selection with color, I choose the color but it always comes up blue.  What am I doing wrong?

    What IP address does the TC have and what IP does the computer have?
    We need more info as we really have no idea what your network looks like.
    Modem router, model, type of broadband?
    TC setup as bridge or router?
    Is the computer getting internet via the TC?
    Are you using wireless or ethernet?
    Have you set IPv6 correctly to local link in the computer on whichever network client is doing the connection?
    Did this work the first time for backup and has now failed? If so simply reboot the TC. It is a constant bug that the TC is lost to the network.

  • Photoshop crashes when I use the marquis tool.

    Photoshop crashes when I use the marquee tool. As soon as I make a selection it crashes my computer (every time!) by either rendering the screen black or sometimes all white. I have to force shut down and restart. I'm using MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 with Photoshop CS6. I am not in a position to update OS at this time. Is there anything I can do to work around this problem? It's extremely time-consuming and infuriating.
    Here's the crash report, if anyone is able to make sense of this, I'd sure appreciate knowing what the problem is.

    That is not an application crash - that is a kernel panic, which means there is a hardware defect, a bug in the OS or a bug in a low level driver (like parts of the video driver).  Kernel panics are not caused by applications, but by defective hardware or bugs in the OS and drivers.
    Resetting prefs may avoid the settings that triggered the crash - but the cause remains in the hardware, OS, or driver code.
    Since Apple is not going to update the drivers in 10.6.8, your best bet is to update the OS when you can, and hope the new drivers are in better shape.  Unfortunately, it is also possible that you just have a bad GPU or video RAM - and fixing that would require replacing the video card or system (in the case of laptops or all-in-one machines).

  • Can't use selection tool, hand keeps coming up

    What is going on, when I go to use selection tool the hand tool is coming up and I can't change or work! What is going on?
    Both in Adobe Ilustrator CC and CS6. any one else having this issue.
    I am getting behind on a project, help!
    thanks so much in advance!

    visualsolutions,
    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.

  • Strange behavior when resizing with 'Selection Tool'

    Hello,
    I have a really strange issue when using selection tool to resize object. I have several rectangles stacked and grouped inside a layer. When I select one of them (either in Layer panel or with Group selection tool) and switch to 'Selection Tool (V)' to resize it, this tool behaves diferently at diferent zoom levels. Only at 200% zoom it behaves as it shoul.. With 100-150% zoom result is diferent - like there's a invisible box around selected object and I'm resizing it.. I've tried to explain the issue in attached image.. Anyone knows why is this happening?
    Thanks.

    - make new document, size 16383x16383px
    - create rectangle any width, hight say 200px (or anything less then 320px for 5% zoom)
    - select rectangle and show bounding box
    - try resizing hight by stretching bounding box
    - this is how same selection looks at diferent zoom levels
    - same zoom level as befor, hight 100px..

    Why does Illustrator crash when saving to a new location on my new MacPro 13" Retina Pro running Yosemite?

    That won't do. What I mean is you have to navigate to the file and make it active in pastebin and then copy the highlighted line like this

  • When to use SELECT and END SELECT in the query.

    hi all,
    When to use SELECT and END SELECT in the query.
    regads,
    Venkata Suresh Penke.

    Hi Suresh..
    When do we need to use SELECT .. ENDSELECT
    Usually we will never use SELECT .. ENDSELECT as it gives very poor performance.
    But whenever we read a single Record we will use it as an alternative for SELECT SINGLE in some scenarios.
    Eg: When the Full primary key is not specified in the WHERE clause.
    SELECT * FROM MARC INTO WA_MARC UP TO 1 ROWS WHERE MATNR = P_MATNR.
    ENDSELECT.
    And other scenario is when we perform AGGREGATE OPERATIONS.when the Result is only one row.
    SELECT SUM( LABST ) FROM MARD INTO V_LABST UP TO 1 ROWS
    WHERE MATNR = P_MATNR.
    ENDSELECT.
    Note: In The Above scenario we cannot use SELECT SINGLE..
