Illustrator CS5 don't place file for recent folder but instead goes to default

Hi,
I recently updated my mountain lion os...and since than, my Illustrator cs5 act strangely.
I cannot PLACE an image from my subfolder anymore, but instead it goes back to default.
For example:
Before : I was able to click PLACE and it will open to folder titled PROJECT: showing all images.
Now: when I click PLACE, it open to DESKTOP folder instead, then I have to go to the subfolder and select "PROJECT" to place images.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. And I fail to see what compatibility issues you are trying to fix. Illustrator allows to save to a variety of formats, including older versions of its own AI files...

What would the Smart Collection criteria be to isolate files in a folder but NOT in a collection?

What would the Smart Collection criteria be to isolate files in a folder but NOT in a collection?

or else FAR more simply,
though in practice, the difficulty may lie with how fuzzily or precisely the search text used, applies.
QUESTION
I'd be very curious to know, does anyone know how to search on a section of a full folder path rather than on the individual parts of that?
My folders are structured by LR at import, as (e.g.) 2014 / 01 / 27 for 27th Jan 2014.
So if I wanted to use a Smart Collection to search for (among other things) images in July 2013, I can search multiply on includes all of "2013" and "07" but that also throws up in my case, images which were taken on the 7th day of other months during 2013. I could search on a date range, though that's a little more laborious, or else do what I otherwise prefer, which is by keywords and other attributes plus (possibly) just year.
If I could search on folder path includes the string "2013/07" this would work fine. But I haven't found a syntax that does that (yet, assuming it is possible at all).

How can I Create an individual MD5 file for each folder in a main directory?

The specs for a file delivery I'm making require an individual MD5 file per folder, with the contents of that folder being inside the MD5 file. Such as:
DAY_01 (MAIN FOLDER)
A01
-(files 1-1000)
-md5 for files 1-1000
A02
-files 1001-2000
-md5 for files 1001-2000
And so on. Is there a script or program that can make those MD5 files automatically or do I hace to go and do each one individually? Thanks

I don't know of any pre-existing solution to your question, but it isn't hard to write one:
set theFolder to (choose folder)
tell application "System Events"
          set subfolders to every folder of theFolder
          repeat with eachFolder in subfolders
                    set fPath to (POSIX path of eachFolder)
                    set fName to name of eachFolder
                    set md5Filename to quoted form of (fName & ".md5")
                    do shell script "cd " & quoted form of fPath & "; /sbin/md5 * > " & md5Filename
          end repeat
end tell
The idea here is that it asks for a folder to process. It then grabs a list of all the folders inside that folder (subfolders), then for each subfolder it extracts its POSIX path and the folder name, then it builds a shell command that actually goes to each folder, runs the md5 command (passing in all files), writing the output to a .md5 file named according to the folder.

Adobe X. Unless you have another idea, I am going to try the 10.0.2 fix and see if that works. If not, I may uninstall and try a 9.xxx version. Thanks.

I do not get a halftone dot output but instead I get shades of grey. HELP.

That worked really well (Resolution and Halftone screen Lpi, Angle and Dot shape).
My only issue now is when art is created in Illustrator CS6. I can't get those results for gradients.
I guess I would need to bring those files one color at a time back into photoshop.
Keep me posted if you have any other thoughts.
Thanks again.

Help - I downloaded the latest update for my ipod, but instead it seems to have completely wiped it!

Can someone please help me - I have downloaded the latest update for my ipod to try to get it to work with iCloud, to back everything up, but instead it seems to have wiped everything and restored my ipod to its factory settings and now when I try to sync it, it says 'Sync in Progress', but then doesn't do anything.
When I got my ipod I installed loads of music from CD's, other mp3's etc on to my computer and downloaded it to the ipod. However over the past year I have bought all my music and apps straight from the ipod instead of the computer as I bought a new computer and every time I plugged my ipod in to it, it said that it would download content from the computer, which I didn't want to do as there was no music installed on the computer and I didn't want to lose anything. I had also previously read that you couldn't upload music from an ipod to a computer for some reason.
However, I then heard about the new iCloud where it automatically updates your purchases to all your Apple devices. So when I looked up how to get iCloud it said I needed to install the new ios5 to get an account. I then plugged my ipod in to my computer and tranfered all my purchases to my computer. Once this was complete I clicked on 'update ipod' where it said it would update it from version 3.something to version 4.something, so I left it to it, but when I came back to find it was complete, I looked on my ipod and there was nothing there -no music, no apps, nothing except what was there when I first bought it.
I tried to re-sync it to at least get back the 300-odd songs I'd purchased that are on my new computer, but every time I do it, it displays 'Sync in Progress', but then stops and it hasn't done anything. The ipod itself is working fine and I have no problems with my computer, so I can only assume itunes is causing the problem.
Please could someone tell me if there's a way I can restore my ipod and if there's a way I can get back all my music, including the 2000 odd tracks that I had that weren't bought from itunes?
Thanks in advance.

Import Server detects file in Ready folder but does not process

I have confirmed settings in the MDIS.ini file, e.g. password, etc. I can import the same file using Import Manager without any errors.
Please help!

Hi Jitesh,
Your suggestion to try a different file type yielded positive reults. I created a simple tab delimited text file and import map and changed the existing Port from using XML based on the MATMAS05 schema to using the text file. The log shows:

The text file was immediately picked up and imported. This thus proves that (1) MDIS is functioning, (2) user / password is correct. Unfortunately you will also see from the log above that when I changed the port back to run on XML the problem has not been resolved.
Any ideas?

Illustrator CC2014 won't reopen file just recently edited and closed. "Illustrator cannot open file" message.

Windows 7 Home Premium, Dell XPS desktop. First problems with AI in a LONG time. Used to be able to go to the control panel for programs and "repair" the installation, now can only un-install.
This file is originally from a previous version of AI, opened it in CC2014 and edited, nothing extensive, just text updates, and after closing, it won't open again. And the program crashed. After a re-start of the computer, I could open a different file, but not the "problem" file. After re-doing the edits on another (even earlier) copy of the source file, the same thing happened. I can place the file in InDesign, and export to pdf, which views fine. I plan to try to edit the InD pdf in Illustrator, to see what happens.
Otherwise the computer seems to be fine, all other apps seem stable. So far.

The file size is the same as the previous version. I placed the AI file into InD, made a pdf, and can open and edit that pdf in Illustrator. If I could get the "bad" file to open, I would save as to a new file, see if that would help, but since it won't open.... Just weird. I should have what I need now, so I don't plan to spend any more time on it. Thanks for thinking about it. I just hope I don't end up eventually having to uninstall/re-download and re-install Illustrator!
The only image is embedded, no link. I don't have any non-standard plug-ins. I will keep in mind about the preferences, but why only this 1 file having a problem with them? I did install some fonts for another job while also working on this; I will keep that in mind, too.
Thanks again.

Illustrator CS5 PDF Dimensions Incorrect - 72dpi for web

Issue in a nutshell: I'm wire-framing sites in Illy CS5 for it's snap to pixel grid features. I have my document set up to use pixels as units, raster effects at 72dpi, and RGB color. So as far as I can tell everything should be formatted correctly. The issues arise when I save the comps to PDF so I can e-mail them to clients. Two things happen, from what I can tell so far, that are most likely related. First, the PDF artboard size doesn't match the Illy artboard size. Comparing 100% zoom size side by side on each, the PDF appears to be 33% too large (i.e. they look identical when the PDF is at 75% zoom and Illy at 100%.) Second, what I thought was a separate problem originally, when placing PSD's at 72dpi they look crisp in Illy and Photoshop but appear blurry when saved as PDF (I'm assuming because of the 33% scale distorting them.) When saving the PDF I've tried using "Smallest File Size", "High Quality Print", and some custom settings (downsampling images to 72dpi) just to see if I can get anything to work. Everything comes out oversized though. Also, I know there are options to export as .png, .jpg, ect... and that you can "Save for Web and Devices." I want to avoid using these if possible because they tend to be slow, don't favor multiple artboards, generally handle text poorly, and are not as good as a PDF for emailing to clients for review.
In the reading I've done searching for a solution it looks like most people have their artboard or PDF preferences set up incorrectly. Usually resulting in a drastically larger or smaller image, roughly 4 times, because the file is being saved at 300dpi instead of 72dpi. What throws me for a loop is the 33% scale because I'm not seeing a direct relationship between print quality dpi and web dpi mussing things up. There must be some setting or box I'm not checking to save the file correctly, but am not sure where to go about it.
Thanks for all your help, and let me know if you need any more info.

Arnbly,
Forget monitor resolution. It has nothing to do with monitor resolution. Discussion of monitor resolution just confuses the issue.
Comparing 100% zoom size...
That's the key.
You are using two different applications. (Never mind that they are published by the same software vendor.)
Regardless of your monitor's specs, it's neither the monitor's dot pitch (102 PPI) nor its pixel count (1920 x 1080) that makes Illustrator's display of 1" smaller than Acrobat's on that same monitor. It's how many monitor pixels (on any size monitor) that the two programs use to render a representation of a real-world inch at 100% zoom.
Illustrator always assumes 100% of one inch of actual linear measure in the document corresponds to 72 monitor pixels. In other words, at 100% zoom, it uses 72 pixels to "paint" an inch. When set to Inches, the major tickmarks of Illustrator's rulers are 72 monitor pixels apart, therefore display smaller (take up less of your monitor's space) than the rulers do in Acrobat.
Reader (and Acrobat), by default, assumes 100% of one inch of actual linear measure in the document corresponds to 96 monitor pixels. In other words, at 100% zoom, it uses 96 pixels to "paint" an inch. When set to inches, the major tickmarks of Acrobat's rulers are, by default, 96 monitor pixels apart, therefore display larger (take up more of your monitor's space) than the rulers do in Illustrator.
In a nutshell, it boils down to this: Zoom is just the currently-displayed ratio between real-world measure and number of monitor pixels used to paint a picture of it. Illustrator and Acrobat (by default) simply label different zoom levels to be "100%". Illustrator clings to the MacOS convention of using 72 monitor pixels to paint an inch-worth's of page content. Acrobat's default uses the Windows convention of using 96 monitor pixels to paint an inch-worth's of page content.
Neither one necessarily matches physical reality. That is, even without switching between programs, if you hold a ruler up to any given monitor displaying a given application, what the software labels "1 inch" at "100%" will quite likely not match your physical ruler. Obviously, for example, if you view your PDF on a cell phone and zoom to "100", the display will measure in real-world physcial measure much smaller than the same PDF does on your laptop, which will likely in turn be smaller than when displayed on your desktop--even if all three devices have Acrobat zoomed to "100%."
As you can see above, Illustrator's "72 pixels to paint an inch" uses less of your monitor's space to display an inch at 100% zoom, but shows less detail because it has fewer pixels (72 x 72) available for rendering that square inch . Acrobat's default "96 pixels to paint an inch" takes up more of your monitor's space to display an inch at 100% zoom, but shows more detail because it has more pixels (96 x 96) available for rendering the same square inch.
The above screenshots, however, are of vector-based artwork. If the artwork were a raster image, display quality , not just size, would also differ between the two programs when zoomed to 100%. The display would be sharpest when the actual number of pixels contained in the scaled-to-one-inch image matches the number of monitor pixels that the program displaying it uses to render an inch. So if the above artwork were a 96 x 96 pixel raster image scaled to 1 inch on the page, its display would be better at 100% in Acrobat than in Illustrator. If its were a 72 x 72 pixel raster image scaled to 1 inch on the page, its display would be better at 100% in Illustrator than in Acrobat.
So to make your PDFs display at the same size as your Illustrator documents at 100%, set your Reader (and/or Acrobat) display preferences to what Illustrator considers an inch:
But understand: Pixels Per Inch means nothing to a web browser. Web browers ignore PPI. They just display image pixels to monitor pixels, 1:1. So if your client is on Windows (by far more likely than not), Acrobat's default setting of 96 PPI is going to be more representative of the size he sees your web-destined design when viewed in his web browser.

Restoring iWeb files when you don't have the DOMAIN file for the folder

Can anyone assist please.
I have recently lost my hard drive in my iMac and have now replaced and recovered as much as I can.
I have managed to recover all my iWeb files but can't get the domain file from the route of the iWeb directory back so every time I start iWeb it try's to create a new web site.
Does anyone know how I can rebuild the Domain file ?
Thanks in advance.

All of a sudden illustrator cs5 wont open my file box, it just closes the program.

The same thing happens when I try to save something.

kanoby,
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
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 Other options (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.
