Illustrator cs5 "batch" option in action window grayed out

Hi,
I'm trying to batch convert a folder of .ai files to .png
When i go to window/action/pulldown menu the "batch..." option is grayed out. Anyone know why this might be?
Thanks!
Michelle

Yes! Thank you! I see "stop recording".....and after I select that, I can now select batch (not grayed out anymore).  I must have inadvertantly started recording an action when I was looking around for the "batch" option.

  • All options in iWeb are grayed out!

    This might be a stupid noob question, but when I first launch iWeb, it gave me a bunch of options to choose different templates and create on my own page. Now when launch iWeb, all the options are pretty much grayed out. The only option to choose from under "File" is "Close". Just about all the other options under the other menus are grayed out as well. Any help would be appreciated.

    The only thing that I have heard other people try that has worked more times than on chance alone is to delete the iWeb application and then reinstall iWeb 1.0 from your iLife or recovery disks. Then update to 1.1.1 via Software Update.

  • HP LASERJET 2200d - Optional TRAY 3 is grayed out in the print box - 10.2.8

    I just added the optional 3rd tray to the bottom of my LASERJET 2200d. I did a print test directly from the printer and it printed a copy from that tray without a problem. But when I try to print from an application, tray 3 cannot be selected in the print box and is grayed out. Anyone?

    Have you gone into Printer Center/Printer Setup Utility, click on your printer and click on the Utility button? Sometimes that has extra features that you can turn on. Maybe you need to tell the software side that the tray has been added to the printer.

  • Edit Window Grayed Out

    When selecting a photo from thumbnails the program highlights the thumbnail, but then when I select the Edit button the photo shows up for a second, then the edit portion of the screen grays out replacing the photo with a framed question mark.
    The last change made to my system was to reorginize photos, creating folders, etc, using my Mac HD window. The changed structure shows the photos there, but in iPhoto some of these folders appear empty.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Hi,
    You have broken the golden rule of iPhoto: Never tamper with items in the iPhoto Library folder from inside the Finder. Any changes you make to the folders and files in the iPhoto Library folder break the links between your files and the iPhoto database.
    Can you undo the changes you made? If so, your library might be salvageable.
    Do you have a back-up library? If so, now is the time to use it.
    If not, you have to create and populate a new library. You will lose your albums, keywords, books, etc. You will have your pictures and the same film rolls as before.
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop.
    Launch iPhoto. Click "Create Library."
    Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
    If you have any questions please post back.

  • Login Window Grayed out Rich client 4.1

    Hi,
    When i launch the rich client from all programs very first time login window comes up.
    System Name By default it is taking Servername:6400(J2EEPortal)
    I tried to change the server name just server name:6400 but it is now allowing it is grayed out.
    I think some seeting needs to be done or clear some files etc. But not sure, Can you please anyone tell me how to fix this issue?

    Have you tried catching the SQL Exception and dumping the stack trace to System.out? You can then also use getNextException() on the SQL exception and dump that to System.out to get the chained Exception. These should then show up in the Tomcat window.
    I would also try connecting to the sybase system using the ip address, port and login details that you were supplied by the sysadmin using Sybase client utils to check they are correct.

  • Dreamweaver IDE (Application Window Grayed out)

    I opened up Dreamweaver CS3 today and the application tab

    out for all applications. I use it mostly with the Components tab.
    Used it just fine a couple of days ago.
    How can I get this window to where I can use it again? I
    haven't had any other troubles.
    Thanks.

    Is the testing server properly defined?

  • SELECT DESKTOP ORGANIZER WINDOW GRAYED OUT.

    Greetings folks:
    My very 1st post. I have a BB BOLD, and am starting to Like it. I am migrating from a Palm Tungsten E2 PDA and I like palms desktop organizer desktop software. I tried to use the switch wizard, but both selections PALM and MS were grayed out. The Palm Desk top is version 6.2.2. by Access.Any clues why?? And  am I supposed to have intellisync on my BB desktop software??? or is that legacy now. V 4.6.013. Any help would be appreciated.
    dynaman

    Hi dynaman and welcome to the forums!
    I had a similar problem in that I was unable to use the device switch wizard when moving from my Treo 650 to my Curve.  My original versio of Outlook was too old to work with DM. You can change the conduits in your Palm Deskto to sync directly with Outlook.  I needed the original Palm CD to do this.  Make sure you get your mapping correct in this step.  Once that is completed you can then sync Outlook with your BB.  
    Check out this link however to make sure you have a supported Outlook version:

  • Illustrator CS5 menu/screen jitters on Windows

    I've installed Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, and InDesign.  All seem to work great, except for Illustrator.  With Illustrator anytime I use a drop down menu like font or font size, the screen jitters.  The skin that covers up the default Windows window shell goes away for an instant, revealing the standard Windows look (I'm talking about the top 1/2" of the screen and the trim that goes all the way around).  Also, when this happens, I can quickly read the title across the top.  It's like the older versions of Illustrator where the name of the document is located, but it also says "(Not Responding)" next to the file name.  Again this only happens for an instant and is gone.  Also, if I try to save as a PDF or any other format, the same thing happens with the drop down menu to select file type.  The only difference is that this drop down menu won't stay down - it automatically pops back up, not allowing me to select my file type, unless I press a hotkey like "p" immediately after clicking on the drop menu.
    I would suggest it is a graphics display error, however, all my other programs seem to be running fine, even 64-bit Photoshop.  My GPU is an Invidia GTX 260 and I just updated the drivers to see if that would help but no success.  I have a pretty solid machine setup with i7 quad, 16GB of RAM, 1TB HDD, so I don't think it's hardware.  I have also done all the updates for Illustrator, so there's not solution there either.  This is exceedingly annoying as I am self-employed and Illustrator is my bread and butter for logo design!  Please help me out!

    Actually, nothing fixed at all.  Must have been a coincidence that it started working.  It's back to doing the same thing.  I can't select a
    file extension unless I use a hotkey to scroll through the options.  Using up/down arrow keys or mouse doesn't work.  Any ideas?

  • Adobe Illustrator CS5 will not open in Windows Vista

    All I get is "Adobe Illustrator has stopped working"
    Then i get "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
    I've tried reinstalling 6 times now, and it still wont work. I dont know where to start. Please help ASAP I have a presentation to submit!!

    I beleive you are looking at the right place ,
    Click the start Button
    At the bottom serach box , type "amt3.log" , does the file show up in the list , if no
    then I would say contact Adobe support ,and get this fixed.
    The problem could be either at the time of installation or launch.
    also can you share the install logs:-
    1 .Navigate to the log files in one of the following folders:
    Windows 32 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
    Windows 64 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers
    The log filename includes the product name and install date, followed by ".log.gz." The extension .gz indicates a compressed format.
    Use a decompression utility such as Winzip or StuffIt to decompress the .gz file. Once uncompressed, the log file is a plain text file.     
    Open the .log file using WordPad (Windows)
    copy and paste the log file in the pastebin.com

  • Illustrator CS5.5 Transforms in Actions not working properly?

    I'm doing a simple transform action. I want to move an object to a value on the Y axis. First of all, after recording the action, and setting the Y value to 64 px, the action is recorded as 64 pt, not px. This happens regardless of my 'Units' setting. Second, it ADDS the value to the current Y value, instead of just setting the new value, rendering the action useless.
    Am I doing something wrong? I don't see a way to specify an absolute value vs a relative one. Is it just a limitation of Actions in Illustrator?

    px and pt are somewhat interchangable within Illustrator. They are both seen as the same relative size. In reality this is because pixels have absolutley no relative size therefore Illustrator uses points for measurements. A point (pt) is a measurment, a pixel (px) is not. This is not something you should be overly concerened with in your circumstances. You can simply consider 1pt equal to 1px.
    As for the transform.... transformations, by definition, alter the existing data of an object in a relative manner. The extisting size, location, color, etc is seen as the 'start' point then transformations are applied to those start points. If you have an object sitting at X0Y0 and you move the object 64 pixels downward to X0Y64, the transformation is seen as Y+64, NOT "set to Y64". Therefore, if you have an object sitting at X50Y10 and you perform the same transformation the result is X50Y74.
    What may, or may not help, is to use the align buttons in the action before trying to absolutely position an element. For example, set the align to Align to Artboard. Then align left, align top, (or align center, align middle) then move the object to the correct absolute position. This way you position every object at the same XY coordinates before beginning any position transformation and in turn the XY transformation will always be adding values to the same starting point values making the transformations the same.
