Illustrator CS5.5 type not editable, not selectable with type tool

Hi folks, Working on a poster in Illustrator. Have added area type, using the type tool. Now I'd like to increase the size of one line. I can't select or edit any of the type with the type tool. I moved the type to a new layer, saved, closed Illustrator, restarted my Mac (OS X 10.7.4). Looked in preferences, in case there's an issue there. No luck.
By the way, I also don't see handles when in the selection tool any more. Don't know if that's related.

Thanks, Monika! Of course, something simple. It was Show Edges. Show Bounding Box was correctly set.

I installed Elements 12 because my version of Photoshop (CS5.1) is not compatible with Yosemite. Now the Adobe Application Manager will not search for updates for any of the programs in CS5.5 that I have. How do I fix this?

Mozila 5 is not compatible with google tool bar?!?! a Disaster :S please helop?

The mozila 5 is not compatible with google tool bar !?!?! This is a disaster? Please are y'all aware of this problem ? How could I fix it :S:S

Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
(1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
(2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
Any luck?

I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
Get what denoted in what properties link.
You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

Illustrator CS5.1 will not open on OS X Lion 10.7.5 - "Could not complete the requested operation."

Out of the blue, I can't get my Illustrator CS5.1 application to open. Instead the app icon bounces on the dock and the message "Could not complete the requested operation." appears.
I have tried restarting the application, restarting the computer, I have tried holding Command+Option+Shift while opening, I have tried various methods of editing the "Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 Settings" folder, I have tried moving other application folders and font folders, all without success.
The application is installed on a computer in my office and was installed as a downloadable upgrade to CS4. I was thinking a solution might be to install Illustrator, but I haven't been able to find a link to the CS5 program downloads.
Today I tried to get help from Adobe Customer Support, who informed me that they no longer support CS5 and directed me to the forums instead. Any solutions???

Hi,
It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012 (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

Photoshop CS5.5 type tool not working after OS X 10.7.3 update

Hi All
Weird one ...
The first thing I noticed was that I could not use the type tool to create 'live' text on a layer. With the type tool selected I get the following error message when clicking to begin typing:
"Could not complete your request because of a programme error."
I quit Photoshop then attempted to launch the application by opening the file. The application opened but the file wouldn't, giving the same error message.
I quite Photoshop again and relaunched the application from the Dock. The applicatiuion opens fine but displays the same error message (before I have attempted to open a file).
With a file open I checked the type palette, where the dafault typeface is shown as Myriad Pro, but the default settings are:
Type size: 1pt
Linefeed (leading): 1pt
Kerning: 1
Tracking 1
Type height: 0%
Type width: 0%
Baseline shift: 0
Colour: black
Language: multiple
Type quality: none
Some odd settings there. The type tool bar (at the top of my display) has blank fields. Typing desired values into any of these fields doesn’t resolver the issue.
I have tried restarting, creating a new file but to no avail. The type tools in Illustrator and InDesign are working as expected, so it would appear to be a Photoshop problem and I’m stumped ... any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Paul

Hi All

Can't open Illustrator CS5 because PowerPC not supported

Hi, I just purchased a brand new macbook pro OS X 10.8.2. I tried to reinstall my CS5 Design Premium Suite and all the apllications work EXCEPT Illustrator. The error message reads "You can't open the application "Adobe Illustrator CS5.1" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." This design suite is only a couple years old and my computer is brand new.... I assumed PowerPC was long gone. Is there a way to override this? I really need to be able to use my Illustrator!

Did you use the migration assistant to move over your software or is this a fresh installation?

CS5.5 documents not compatible with CS5 documents?

I have read through the other threads and found that documents created in CS5.5 are not backward compatible with CS5. Unless, of course, you export them manually from 5.5.
So ... Really?! Are you kidding me that that a version 5.5 cannot talk to a version 5.x of something? We bought a site license for the CS5 Master Collection but without the maintenance because we were led to believe that CS6 was a couple years off. So when 5.5 came along it implied that there were some changes but not significant enough to warrant the CS6 title.
Okay, now that I have vented I will ask my real question. Is it expected that with every release of the Master Collection that it means a major change to the product(s) underneath it such that they will not be directly backward compatible? If this is the case I would recommend that this is better explained when you are offering up the maintenace. Had I known this I would have purchased it as well instead of being stuck with having to purchase the entire site license again.
Thanks, Brette

Hey there PDX buddy,
I'm guessing from the rest of your username that you're not a professional user of page layout applications, but a sysadmin of some sort. So of course you'd be surprised to discover this:
Is it expected that with every release of the Master Collection that it means a major change to the product(s) underneath it such that they will not be directly backward compatible?
That's the case pretty much across the board for page layout applications. Note that it's not the Master Collection - many of the apps included do have pretty functional cross-version compatibility. Illustrator, in particular, I've found to be pleasingly verbose about possible feature loss when saving back, offering to convert type to outlines when differences between type rendering engines in versions were likely to cause incorrect text display, and so on.
But backwards compatibility is not a feature of page layout applications in general. It was the case for Pagemaker, it was and is the case for Quark, and it's been that way for InDesign all along. The same is the case with more obscure layout apps. The only exception I can think of is Publisher - and Publisher projects often crash and burn because there's one person who insists on sticking with Office XP or whatever, and when you use new features of Publisher in a file and then open it in an older version, it does not degrade well. I don't think that it even told you that it wasn't going to bother to try to display some of the content that came from a newer version. I even have a vague recollection of a Quark Passport issue where there was a failure of compatibility between 5.0.1 and 5.0.2, or something along those lines - just a bugfix dot release broke compatbility with the previous release.
I'd argue that, if you need to support designers or other graphics-layout types, that software maintenance for layout applications is more important that buying software maintenance for your operating system & other software infrastructure. Heck, it's arguably equally as important as offsite backups.

New version will not work with yahoo tool bar. How can I fix this problem ?

I downloaded the new version of Firefox and it will not work with my yahoo toolbar anymore.It worked fine until I updated to the new version. I have went back to the old version 16.0 and now it keeps saying my version is out of date. How can I fix this problem and get the new version to work with my yahoo tool bar?

For starters make sure you have the latest Yahoo toolbar.

Help; my selections with all tools are proportional

Hi there,
I'm using CS5. I expect the selection starting point to be the upper left corner, and as I drag the cursor the selection area enlarges. However, when I use a selection or crop tool I get a centered selection area, and as I drag the cursor the selection area gets larger on all sides. I know I must have selected a special setting or something but I cant find where to turn it off. PLease any advice would be welcome.

Are you running 10.6.5 or 10.6.6?

InDesign CS5.5 Documents Not Working with Drive 4.2

I am using CS 6 and Adobe Drive 4.2 (4.2.0.110) on Windows 7 with the CMIS adapter against an Alfresco v4.0.0 repository. When I double-click on an InDesign CS6 file in windows explorer, it opens in InDesign. I see the "up-to-date' status icon in the lower left in InDesign. I can edit the document and successfully check it back into Alfresco. When I try the same test case using a CS 5.5-created document, the "up-to-date" icon does not appear and I can't version the document in Alfresco.
These two documents reside in the same folder and were created by the same user in Alfresco. They are both simple documents that only contain text boxes; no external links.
The AD4ServiceManager_java.log file contains the following and was deleted before trying the CS5.5 test case:

Files not saving with Deco tool or Spray Brush tool selected

I found that .fla files do not save in Flash CS4 when the Deco tool or Spray Brush tool is selected. Is this a bug? Or is there a workaround to this issue.
Please clarify.

Hmm - thanks for letting us know.
It does seem to be the case that the "*" next to the file name does not go away when these particular tools are selected. It does seem to actually save the changes though to the document, so you should be safe after the ctrl+s.
