Illustrator CS5.1 on Mavericks Faint Grey Tools/Crosshair Cursor
I'm hoping some one is going to advise/help me on the 3rd time of asking about the tools pallete.
I am using Illustrator CS5.1 on a iMac, I am working on 10.9 Mavericks, and now the crosshair/cursor/ various tools have almost dissappeared to a /faint grey in tint, will I have to wait for a fix from Adobe or Apple or is there something in preferences I can click to solve issue?
I Have already reported this 'Bug' via Adobe website.
Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I have to keep pressing my nose against the screen and squint my eyes to see where I am drawing and designing, it's not a pretty sight.
Hello paul.
Thank you for your reply.
I'm still having problems with the illustrator tools, I'm reluctant to do a clean install of Mavericks or Illustrator, but the other Creative suite applications tools have no problems, strange it is only Illustrator?

Illustrator CS5.1 Faint Grey Crosshair/Tools
Re: Illustrator CS5.1 on Mavericks.
OK…I’m still trying to find a solution to faint cursors/crosshairs etc in tools.
A kind soul suggested altering screen display preferences, but did not work.
I have the CS5 creative suite and all the other tools in other programmes work great.
Can anyone suggest anything?Problem solved due to Mavericks update 10.9.1

Illustrator Cs5 will not open. Recently upgraded hard drive and upgraded to Maverick OS 10.9.3. Where should I start troubleshooting?
gj,
Unless it has worked since the upgrading, I believe you should uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 -
I recently loaded OSX mavericks on my Imac. I now find I cannot open any Adobe products from CS5. The error message reads " to open Adobe illustrator CS5.app, you need to install a JAva SE 6 runtime. Would you like to check and install one? I try to install but get the error" download error". As far as i know I'm using Adobe Java 7. None of my CS5 suite works anymore............and i really dont want to upgrade to a monthly cloud service fee as i hate this policy with a passion.
This goes for Dreamweaver CC on Mavericks!!!!! THANK YOU!
I couldn't launch Dreamweaver CC. An error told me to install "java se 6 runtime". But when I clicked OK I got another error telling me there is a network problem! I found this forum post on CS6 products, so I tried the download link, installed java 6 and presto, it worked! Thanks! -
"Adobe Illustrator cs5 quit unexpectedly" error message.
After I upgrated my imac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks I can't open Illustrator CS5. (No problem with PS)
Every opening attemp crashes. May this be possible because of third party plug-ins. (eg. Esko Artwork)
Help pls.
Thank you.Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful. -
Illustrator CS5 icons showing up on all folders when I open them with a grey "?" .links to CS5-
I have illustrator CS5 icons showing up on all my folders when I open them with a grey "?" mark to the right, even when I open my HD*--When clicked on, the '?" shows zero data but this is a link to Illustrator CS5 that I need to undo. Please assist. Thank you.
Here are Apple's instructions:
If you are using iPhoto ’06 or earlier, you will need to follow these steps to tell iPhoto where the Library is now located:
Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
Click Choose Library.
Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
(from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 )
Below (in the link below) is what you should see when holding down the option key and opening iPhoto. Keep holding down the option key until this dialogue comes up. You want to select the Choose Library button.

Illustrator CS5 Rotate Tool Anchor Point Bug
Summary:
I can reproduce this bug consistently, every single time. I am unable to set a new anchor point for the rotate tool in Illustrator CS5.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Create a new shape, doesn't matter what
2. Press R or just select the rotate tool
3. Alt-Click to pick up the anchor point and drag to a new posiiton
4. Let the mouse go- at this point the anchor stays locked to the cursor even if I click and am only able to unlock it from the cursor if I click on a new tool, but without getting to choose a new anchor point.
Also I tried this with a Intuos 2 tablet and pen with the same results. I have an NVidia Quadro FX 3500 card installed with the latest driver as well.
I'm not sure if this issue is related, but also in After Effects CS5 if I press 0 to start doing a preview and then click away say on Firefox, then click back to After Effects, I am unable to click around inside After Effects to get the render to stop. It makes me wait until the whole comp is pushed into a ram preview before it unlocks itself.
Any ideas?I too experience this problem and was hoping to find a solution. I've tried reverting to early Wacom Driver versions with no success. I find that if you "break the connection" between the pen and the tablet then the rotate point will drop and the rotate dialog will appear. I've found that this only works reliably when lifting the pen straight up off of the tablet til it loses signal. Not ideal for precision work. You'll notice that the rotate point drops when you move over to the menus, so I'm guessing it has something to do with the "drawing area."
My system specs for comparison.
Intuos 3
Windows 7 x64
Wacom driver v. 615-3a
Illustrator CS5 15.0.1
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ Driver Version 258.96
Core i7 920 Processor

Hello ,
I have installed adobe illustrator CS5 and when i open it..tool bar isnt working.. when i click at rectangle/pen tool the sub options on it dont appear though black sign comes.. am confused wat to do?? i have windows 8 as OS.. please help soonest.....thankyoucharmi,
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.

Adobe Illustrator CS5 Missing tools... Live bucket tool
Im missing the live paint bucket tool in illustrator CS5, PLEASE HELP! Look at the image below!
Next time you don't have to go to your Keyboard Shortcuts to find out where the different tools are. Some tools are hidden beneath others. Where you see a small arrow like thing (called a tear-away icon) at the bottom-right of a tool, it means there are other tools lying beneath it. Press & hold on a tool having a tear-away icon to reveal other tools. Eg.,

My illustrator cs5 eyedropper tool will not pick up any color! help!
I have been scrolling through this forum and google, and have not found an answer.
My Illustrator CS5 has been working all day, and I went away from it momentarily to pack some boxes for moving and the eye dropper tool started picking up colors that didn't exist in the placed image i'm grabbing from.
(clearly not black within that circle...)
I "found" a solution on this site where you go into your eyedropper options and make sure your appearance boxes are checked, and they weren't so I did that, and now the eyedropper tool won't pick up any color at all.
I have a project deadlines that require this program, and i've tried just about everything but re-installing.
Anybody have ANY solutions?
Here are the way my settings are now:
P.s. I'm not crazy tech saavy, so go explanation crazy if you'd like.It's not live traced just vectored with the pencil tool!
I was trying to grab the individual pixel color from a jpeg, cmyk image to apply to the shapes drawn with the pencil tool.
I'm not sure what the problem was with the tool/program, but it seems to have fixed itself!
However, I appreciate your response anyways! -

Please show.

Faint grey border when printing on roll paper in Photoshop CS5
When I print in Photoshop CS5 on roll paper, there is a faint grey border that prints all around my image. I haven't created a grey border in my files. Does anyone know what setting is creating this or what's going on? And how i can stop it?
Thanks!Also, just did this test:
I used all of my old settings:
Roll Paper selected
Ultra Prem. Photo paper luster
Super 2880 dpi
no high speed
And then I used the old paper profile for ilford gallerie smooth pearl. (I used this even though I'm currently printing on Ilford Prestige paper.)
And it came out with NO faint grey Border!
Then I tried it with all of those same settings, except I used the older profile for Ilford Gallerie Smooth Pearl for the ROLL paper (IGSPP11Roll_EPP4800_PSPPn.icc)
Then I got the grey border.
And finally just to make sure I wasn't crazy, I tried one more time:
All settings as above except I chose the GPSPP12_EPSpro4800_PSPPn
Which is the profile I downloaded to match the prestige paper.
And GREY BORDER!
So It seems like using the prestige profile was giving me the wash of grey. And also the roll paper version of the old gallerie smooth pearl also gave me a grey border.
But what should I do now? I want to use the proper paper profile so my colors and tones come out right. I don't feel comfortable just using the wrong paper profile just to stop the border.
On another note, I researched the Highlight Point shift (based on advice I heard from a friend) and that really sounded like what was causing it. However, I am not even seeing that on my printing options. I must be using a different driver or something. When I'm in photoshop, i just select "File - Print" and then go through that normal dialog. Is there some other way to print that gives me many more options?
Thanks to you all for your help so far. -
