Illustrator CS2 Start up - Convert color mode dialog box

Using Illustrator CS2, on opening, the usual loading prescreen appears, after which a dialog box appears showing the following text
"Convert Color Mode"
"The document contains objects using both CMYK and RGB color modes. Illustrator allow only one color mode per document. Which color mode would you like to use? (RGB and CMYK appear as option boxes)"
This dialog box appears every time I open Illustrator, even though I'm not actually opening a document.
I've tried adjusting the Color Settings (Edit> Color Settings) but this hasn't affected the dialog box appearing.
I've checked all the usual sources of help but can't identify any cures.
I want to be able to change this so the dialog box no longer appears as it tends to "hide" behind all the other applications I have open at the time and can be difficult to get to, meaning opening Illustrator is a 5 minute battle.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You haven't messed with the startup .ai files have you?
You might try deleting the ai prefs file (see FAQ), though that might be a reach in this case.

You have SCADS of extensions and the things running. McAfee, Intego, Orbicule, CleanMyMac, and others I've not ever even heard of. My first recommendation would be to remove all of these and see if things improve.

Lost my toolbars. Have Windows 7 and when in safe mode dialog box will not come up tp reset toolbars.

Dialog box to reset toolbars will not open from safe mode. I have windows 7 operating system. Toolbar totally missing from start page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

* If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear (Firefox 3.6 on Windows) (see [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the ''Navigation Toolbar'' and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.
* If you do not see that item then click the Restore Default Set button in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
See also [[Back and forward or other toolbar buttons are missing]] and [[Navigation Toolbar items]]
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customization

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

         if (Swatch.name == "XXX") {
              colorType.SPOT = true; // which is correct
              Color.Type = ColorType.SPOT; // which is correct
but nothing happens, just the script runs. that all...
any help on this...

app.activeDocument.swatches.itemByName("FINISHING").properties = {space:ColorSpace.CMYK, model:ColorModel.SPOT};
by myself; from Jongware tips in Indesign scripts.link...
thanks Jongware...

Converting Color Modes

I am very new to Bridge and am doing some work for a magazine. All of the images I receive are in RGB .jpgs and I end up having to open each file in Photoshop and convert it to a CMYK .tiff file and save it out. I was told that Bridge could do this conversion for me with batches of photos. I get probably around 250 photos for each issue and this is extremely time consuming. Any ideas on getting started with Brige and scripting?

Hello Ethan,
If you have configured the data guard broker, you can straight away change the protection mode. follow the link ( 6.5 Scenario 4: Setting the Configuration Protection Mode)

I reinstalled (many times now) but on starting Firefox goes straight to the safe mode dialog box. It disappears and nothing happens, no matter what response

Error message: "Firefox closed unexpectedly while starting" "Firefox is now running in safe mode"
If I choose "Continue in safe mode" or anything else, the box disappears and nothing happens. If I try to uninstall at that point, I get a warning that Firefox can't be uninstalled when it is still running.
I periodically get errors such as "The instruction at 0x77caf42c referenced memory at 0x77f1bc98. The memory could not be read. Click on OK to terminate the program.
I have run PrevX, SpyBot and Malwarebytes and none find any viruses, though PrevX found and removed one previously when I first started having problems ("community.heuristics" or something like that.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
Please also check if you are able to start Firefox in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile].

Batch convert color mode in APE6?

I'm still working with an old version of APE and need to change some .PNG sprite images (like, close to a thousand) from Index Color to RBG. I can do it manually, but it would take a while and if there's a way it can be automated would someone please tell me?
Thanks in advance!

Load all images into Camera Raw.
Select all of them in the film strip.
Type 6000 into the Temperature field.
Click Done.
I am trying to find a way to change Nikon Raw images in a batch process to set
the color temperature of all photos in a folder to 6000, but otherwise
retaining the images as Raw files, that is not converting them to jpg or tiff?
Is this possible?

Illustrator CS5 Changing dot lpi and angle dialog box not opening

Hello! I am having trouble with Illustrator CS5 changing the dot lpi and angle. I have my problem typed out below the image. Please help if you can! Thank you!

You could also save yourself a lot of work by creating an ink template .ait with all of the angle/frequency values preset.
1) Simply create a new document, size the artboard to your typical size and create a series of color chips (squares) each colored with one of your typical inks. It looks like you're doing t-shirt seps so you probably have about 20 or so inks you use all the time.
2) Go into the print settings and set all of their angle and frequency values and click done.
3) Choose File->Save As Template (you can delete the color chips if you want at this point, the swatches will remain)
Now whenever you start a new document, choose File -> New From Template
Any new artwork you create can be colored with the existing swatches and you'll find the angle / frequency settings are already set.
Any forum posts links send to my twitter @ask_illustrator will be answered at the forum and via twitter.

Print - color management dialog box - how to print

I am a bit confused
with the print CS5 color management settings...
When printing on my HP Design Jet 90 I select I click "print settings in the CS5 print dialog and select "Application Managed Color" in the prinder driver.
However the PS print dialog has additional settings on right side under the Color Management.
I select Photoshop manages colors in the Color Handling drop down to make it consistent with the printer driver selection.
However, I amn not sure what to have under the printer prifile drop down. I tried different options and they change how the picture is printed and this dialog was not as complex in CS4 so I am nont sure what selections to make in order to have the PS manage color. and select everything automatically.
Thanks for your help.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Most things that I have read say to let your printer manage colors.
A while back I tested that. Doesn't turn out to be the best strategy in every case: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3421168#3421168
In my own case, with an (old) HP 932c Deskjet, the printer wants to see the sRGB profile, so that's what I have to put when I choose Photoshop Manages Colors.

Starting firefox brings up a dialog box. Title is "Session Manager" and the message is "This operation failed due to a file access error: unknown error". What's up?

Above says it all

If anyone is is intrested. I figured out the solution. In the Weblogic Console Located in the JDBC Data Sources. Added correct JNDI Name for Name: soademoDatabase which was jdbc/soademoDatabase. Redeploy and restart server. Works fine

Is it ok in the long run to placing a RGB photoshop eps file into a Illustrator CS2 CMYK color mode

Is it ok in the long run to placing a RGB photoshop eps file into a Illustrator CS2 CMYK color mode document ?
I am using windows XP with Adobe Creative suite 2.
In both Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS2 have the same color settings.
If I take a RGB file that was created in Photoshop CS2 and place this file in a CMYK color mode document in Illustrator CS2, does this cause a problem for the output of the document ?
If you look at the ''Document Info'' window you can now see that the RGB file is now a CMYK file. Is this a good working habit ?
Thanks in advance. :)

>Is it ok in the long run to placing a RGB photoshop eps file into a Illustrator CS2 CMYK color mode document ?
Please explain why you would do such a thing? (Why RGB, and why EPS.)
>If I take a RGB file that was created in Photoshop CS2 and place this file in a CMYK color mode document in Illustrator CS2, does this cause a problem for the output of the document ?
Yes.
You are working in CMYK mode presumably because your Illustrator document is destined for output on a PostScript device -- e.g., a printing press. That means that your RGB image will undergo a space conversion somewhere in the process, and the questions are when and how?
The issue is compounded by the fact that Illustrator ignores color profiles embedded in EPS files by Photoshop. (Just another reason not to use EPS.)
By performing the conversion yourself in Photoshop, you take control of the process and ensure predictable color.

Illustrator CS2

HI all, Please someone help. When illustrator CS2 starts up there is an error message saying: Error loading Plugins. ADMEveParserCarbon.bundle. It opens up okay but iam unable to set my document size or draw a rectangle or circle at a particular size... Iam also unable to save pdf files from illustrator? anybody have any input on this, appreciate your response

Right Click (control click: if you don't have a 2 button mouse) on the Adobe Illustrator CS2 Application and choose show package Contents. Then open the Required folder, and you will see the file that the error is complaining about. You can compare the size to my CS3 install. If you have another working install then replace this file.
Also may be permissions related so run applications/utilities/Disk Utility and repair permissions.

Preview and Open dialog box on initial start of program?

Okay, I understand that it might be beneficial when starting Preview that an open dialog box also pops up. However, I find it VERY annoying that it does it when I double click on a PDF and Preview goes through it's initial startup. It NEVER did this before...am I missing some setting?
I know it may seem like a small annoyance but, for some reason, it really bugs me.

Thanks. I guess I wasn't very effective with my search phrases before posting.
It did solve the annoyance but definitely seems like a bug to me. I will post in feedback to Apple since opening a pdf in preview and then automatically opening an open dialog box has no value. It also shouldn't be linked to Documents and Data in icloud being checked or not.

Dialog box with default starting location?

Running LV2010. I want to prompt a user to save a file by opening a dialog box. This way the user can select the file and location of the file. Problem is, I want to open the dialog box starting in a default folder that I choose. The LV help for file functions say that if I wire a path to the file (use dialog) input and the file doesn't exist, it will throw an error. Is there a way to get it to open a dialog box that starts in a default folder? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

File Dialog.vi has a 'start path' input. A dialog box will pop up starting at this path.
