Illustrator CS6 bucket tool has disappeared -- there is no flyout menu on the gradient tool

This happened suddenly. I've closed and restarted Illustrator several times. Still no paint bucket tool / flyout menu on gradient tool. Any advice?

Try the Shape Builder tool. Click and hold until the options appear.

Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

Ahrenshof: Thank you for your suggestion:
((preferences>audio>devices (re-select your input source) ))
I already had that done IE. I had duet already chosen as input and output etc etc.
The problem seemed to be the issue that was addressed by Eriksimon:
(( ctrl-click the track Header.))
Following that advice gave me a drop down menu which allowed the various buttons to be
checked and unchecked.
Thanks so much for taking the time out to
help with my problem. It seems to me that
this formum is far better equipped to handle
user's problems than any or the options that
are available on the acual Logic help menu.
It appears that Logic has been put
together by techies who, (though they
may be brilliant at computer software issues), then have
virtually no skill or imagination with regards explaining
how to use it, to the actual users.
I have a PhD in Egyptology. I mention this not
because I think it a particularly brilliant acheivement
but just to indicate that I am not a total dummy.
More to the point I find using Logic needlessly tiresome
and the explanations that are given in the "Help" menu
are nothing short of tragic. Perhaps Apple could start to give
out free ropes or razor blades to everyone who buys the program.
Not to say it is not much better that the other junk out there, it is,
the sorry fact is that that is not saying much at all.
I send sincere thanks to all the users out there who support
each other through this forum. johnnyloonybin

You should consider downloading the 10.6.8 combo updater and applying it again.

Numbers not appearing in the tasks and there's no its menu on the top

Hi!
I have a strange problem with all my iWork applications: they not appear in the Task switch and their menu not appear in the top of the screen. When i start a Numbers, for example, it starts fine and works fine, but theres still a Finder menu in the top.
Reboot doesn't help. Really don't know what to do.
Other applications work fine.

I don't understand how you may write that +Numbers starts and works fine+ without its own menu bar.
Are you sure that you didn't click on the Desktop before seeing the Finder's menu bar ?

Illustrator Question: Layers palette has disappeared

I am using Illustrator CC. Layers palette has disappeared.

k,
If you cannot conjure it up with Windows>Layers, it may be time for the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. 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.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 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 (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Illustrator CS6 - Selection Tool drag lag?

Does anyone else experience lag when dragging the Selection Tool around (for instance, when dragging to select multiple objects on the screen) in Illustrator CS6? When I drag the Selection Tool, Illustrator takes a second to show the dotted line. It doesn't prevent me from working, but it is pretty annoying.
The weird part is, it only seems to happen when I create a new document using a "Video and Film" profile (any of the sizes). When I create a new document using a "Print" profile or "Web" profile (again, any size), the Selection Tool acts fine— there's no lag.
I'm on an iMac 3.4ghz 32gb ram, so I don't think it could be the computer itself.
Any help would be appreciated!
Derek

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the tip! I tested out creating a new document with no preset profile, and it worked— no Selection Tool lag. I guess the problem I was encountering was only specifically with the "Video and Film" profile, so I'll just avoid using that. From now on, I'll stick to creating a custom profile when making a new document!
Thanks,
Derek

Video purchase has disappeared from my iTunes library and from the store.

I have recently discovered that a video which I had purchased from the iTunes store about 2 years ago (Leonard Cohen's "Closing Time") has disappeared from my iTunes library. I did not delete it, and I have not had any computer issues which required backup. The purchase is still listed in my iTunes account, but other than that it is as if the whole download never happened. It appears that the store no longer sells the video, and when I "reported" the problem on the account page it was if I was talking to myself ! To keep things simple I took the position that I wanted to repurchase the video, but the Apple representative offered me a credit. When I refused that as a solution, saying I wanted him to tell me how I could repurchase the specific video, one which I owned, he backed off and ultimately said that he was going to submit the matter for investigation, and that I should get back in touch with Apple after a few weeks. (This has brought all my conspiracy thinking tendencies to the surface !) Has anyone else had a similiar experience with a purchased item disappearing for no apparent reason ?

Today i went to add a bunch of movies to my wife's iPad. I realized she had not seen The Book of Eli so i went to add it but it was missing. Same story as above. I have not moved the file, or deleted it. It is just missing from my USB HDD where all my movies are. iTunes store no longer sales the movie.
I can see them stop selling movies... but how did it just get removed from my USB HDD????

Illustrator CS6 - hidden tools do not appear

Normally a double-click on certain tools in the tool palette will reveal other tools hidden within it. For example, the direct selection tool (white arrow), when double-clicked will reveal the group selection tool. Double clicking has suddenly failed for me and I can not reach any of the hidden tools. Anybody know how to fix?

freefall,
You may try 4) or 6) on the list. 4) is more thorough than 3) which you have tried already. 6) is the ultimate cleanup.

Illustrator CS6 width tool bug - Adobe do you even listen????

Hi,
I've asked about this couple months ago and infact others have mentioned it nearly 2 yrs ago and Adobe has done nothing about it to address the issue. The very basic functionality of adobe to even draw a stroke with a width profile assigned to it results in straight lines or profile points magically appearing on the stroke when in theory it should just be a smooth curve. is there ever going to be a fix for this? There aren't even plugins addressing this issue, yes I looked in the hope maybe there is one. If you're going to tellme the solution is to use roughen thats a load of crap because that doesn't do it either. If you're asking me to simplify every ******* stroke with a default width profile applied to it, you're out of your mind. I've got something close to 200 of these strokes that have to be done one by one and if your stroke width profile didn't have a bug, things would've taken less than 30 mins.2 yrs and no fix for something so basic.

Has no one else encountered this issue? It may just as I'd feared! Haha. Like I said, all of the other Adobe products have normal splash screens, so I don't think a driver issue really makes sense. Why would it only be affecting Illustrator and not Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc? I really hope I don't have to just chuck my computer off a bridge. Any other feedback would be much appreciated!

PS CS6 has disappeared from my Edit In Menu

I loaded CS6 and them removed CS5 to save space. Not Light room 4.1 won't show CS6 in the Edit in Menu.
Do I need to reload Lightroom 4.1?
Thanks
Michael

I think it's more likely you'll need to reinstall CS6....uninstalling CS5 has probably broken the link between Lightroom and Photoshop.

Illustrator CS6 Eyedropper tool SHIFT + CLICK no longer works!

SHIFT + CLICK with the eyedropper tool does not apply color as it is supposed to anymore. It shows the color as applied according to the fill and stroke in the tool bar, but the object itself does not reflect that. This function worked perfectly up until recently and is now not working for no apparent reason. I use Windows 7. Everything is OK with the eyedropper options, all my updates are current. HELP!

Everything is checked in the eyedropper tool option menu (appearance, character style, paragraph style). The tool ITSELF works just fine. However it is when I'm sampling a color while holding down shift that no longer works.
