Illustrator CS6, CC, "CC 2014" not honoring a 100% Cyan Spot Color Swatch change.

Why does Illustrator CS6, CC, "CC 2014" not honor a "100% Cyan Spot Color Swatch" changing the % value in the Color Pallet.
I create 3 different Spot Color Swatches of 100% Cyan, 100% Magenta and 100% Yellow in the Swatch pallet.
Then I fill 3 different squares with one of each Swatch and put the Fill to 70% on all in the Color Pallet.
Now I try to change each square back to 100% value in the Color Pallet by typing a number into the Percent Field.
But the Cyan Spot Color does not honor the entry, the Yellow and Magenta are fine.
Has anyone seen this behavior before, and what can be done to resolve it?
Thanks,
J

I would report this as a bug, you can use the slider to set it to 100%, but not enter that value by typing. Strange.

Adobe Illustrator CS6 serial number does not work on my new MAC. It does work on my old MAC.

I have Adobe Illustrator CS6 installed on my new Mac but the serial number does not work.
Do I need to remove the program on the old Mac first?

Thanks for you reply
Then I do not understand why the serial number does not work? I have tried to type it several times.
Regards

You can install it on two computers simultaneously, so uninstalling is not needed if it's the only other installation.

Steve,
I did say, and mean,
I rustier in German than Steve may be ~ I may be rustier in German than Steve.
inspired by the German word order, or the little green guy with the long ears, or something.
French is quite a bit further down my language list (limited to small bits), the main source of understanding/recognizing being the corresponding loan words in English.
At least some years ago I could read and understand all the half/full page German sentences effortlessly, but even then I was banned from helping our kids with any German homework.

I am trying to save a large file on Illustrator CS6 and it does not save and instead says "Unknown Error Occurred." What do I do?

I am trying to save a large file on Illustrator CS6 and it does not save and instead says "Unknown Error Occurred." What do I do?
The file has 4 artboards with webpage designs. I tried to take two of the artboards, create a separate doc with those two, and save, but the result was the same.
However, I am able to save simpler, smaller files.
I need to not lose these files and I am afraid to quit and restart and lose my unfinished work.
Any advice?

What happens if you choose this option?

Wacom pen - Illustrator CS6 - Pressure on TIP not recognized

Hello everyone,
OS: Windows 8.1 and I am using Illustrator CS6.
Downloaded Gimp and Inkscape latest versions to try on them whether they are sensitive to pressure but unfortunately NONE of them, even Photoshop did not recognize pressure for the TIP of the pen. All these software ARE pressure-responsive for the eraser side of the pen.
Also in the wacom properties screen, there is a bar showing how much pressure you apply. That bar is stupidly moving when I touch the pen to the tablet. I mean it is not stable.
But the weirdest thing is, when I remove all drivers and preferences and install the latest driver from wacom website (i think it was 6.3.9w or something like that) the pressure bar was stable UNTIL I started Illustrator. After Illustrator opened, the pressure bar started to get silly again.
In case of a conflict between the tip and the buttons, I disabled both buttons on the pen but still no luck.
(P.S. I almost read EVERYTHING on the internet about this topic.)
Did anyone solve the problem?

Bad news, I contacted Wacom Support via e-mail and they told me to remove wacom driver software after unplugging the tablet.
I tried to do this 2 times but in each try my laptop showed a blue screen like this:

Color Swatch changes when opened in Photoshop CC 2014

I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this, here is the scenario:
I create a CMYK color swatch in Kuler and save the swatch, download it as a .ase file, and then load the swatch in Photoshop CC 2014.
When the swatch is loaded all of the colors are lighter than the colors in my kuler swatch.
The below image shows the top kuler swatch, and the colors that were imported once loaded in Photoshop.
TOP: screenshot of my kuler swatch from the kuler website
BOTTOM: screenshot of the colors from my swatch once imported into Photoshop CC 2014
Does anyone know why this is happening and how it can be fixed?
Thanks!

That's because color management is different in Kuler and PS. The good news is that Kuler Panel is now available for PS 2014 at https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/2507
You can directly set active color from this panel or include the whole theme into the swatches panel without change in appearance.

Spot color swatches in AICS6 and AICC do not match color in design

Hello,
Some of the lighter, saturated colors in the PANTONE+ swatches library appear to be a different color in the swatch list than they are when applied to a design.
Please, see below for screen shots.
i can duplicate this situation on calibrated NEC MultiSync monitors and uncalibrated laptops. We are running on Mac OS X.8x and above.
Designers are complaining about not being able to pick a color from the Swatch Library in AICS6 or AICC.
InDesignCC does not seem to have the same issue.
Is this a color managment issue?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

pantone 361 is pantone 361 no matter how it appears on screen--that said--creating a design and 'then' appying a color can have 'different' results depending on what 'effects' were applied to the design--any transparent effects can cause a color shift--and--in my experience--many designers don't realise that when they use an 'effect' on an object (drop shadow, multiply, etc) and then create another object--the effect is also being applied (27 years in prepress verifies this)
as far as your screen shots are concerned--they appear identical on my monitor.
try this test with one of your designers--have them create an illustrator document with a rectangle filled with a spot color--save it as an .ai file---then have them place that file in Indesign and create a rectangle there--load the same color in the indesign pallette and draw/fill a rectangle before placing the .ai file--then see if they match

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.
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.
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, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Font not available in Photoshop CS6 or Illustrator CS6 (Mac)

I have installed the Frutiger font family in the font library. It appears in the drop-down menu in InDesign, but not Photoshop or Illustrator. How can I make the font available in these programs?

It’s a ttf file – Frutiger. I’ve managed to get it into InDesign, but not Photoshop or Illustrator. Always seem to have problems with this font!

Color Books in Illustrator CS6 (Creative Cloud)

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and I am using Creative Cloud to download my programs. I have downloaded Illustrator CS6, and I am trying to replace the new Pantone + color books with the older versions. I have done this in the past on Windows with no issues.
On my Mac I can not find the new document profiles folder so I can change the spot color. I go into the Adobe folder and there is no Illustrator folder in there. Does anyone know where it would be, or why it is not in there?
Mac OS: [user]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS6/[lang]/New Document Profiles
Also open to any other workarounds for getting the old color books. I need all of the old color books, not just a few swatches, so workaround 2 in this document below will not help me.
Document I have been using - http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/pantone-plus.html
Thanks in Advance! Hopefully someone will have a solution for me :-(

The path for the New Document Profiles should be Mac HD/Users/<yourname>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CSX/en_US/ which is a hidden folder in OS10.7 and later. Do a Google search for how to access this folder. The Pantone color books go in Mac HD/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CSX/Presets/Swatches/Color Books.

Illustrator CS6 crashes when 40 or more files are open at the same time

Windows 7 SP1, Illustrator CS6
The end users spends 7 hours of their 8 hours in Illustrator. As part of the job, they have to have over 40 different files open at the same time because they are working on several jobs at the same time as well as working forward. So the answer is not "they have to close some files". This, unfortunately, is not an option.
We recently upgraded them to CS6. They said that version CS5 was fine and didn't crash like this. But Illustrator CS6 crashes on them, closes itself, and obviously they lose all unsaved changes (saving the changes isn't a choice either, because the files are shared and have to stay original).
The only modification we've done to the program is to UNcheck "Append" in the preferences.
This happens on all 3 computers for all 3 users, so I don't believe it to be end-user related.
Does anyone out there know of a way to get Illustrator to stop crashing?
Is there a specific limit on the number of files that can be open?
Thanks,
Spencer

No, they aren't working on the same files. All 3 employees are working on different files.
They are all on Dell Optiplex GX745 with 4 Gb of RAM.
The crashes are at different times, not all 3 crashing at the same time. Therefore, I don't believe network is the cause of the issues. Also, it didn't crash on CS5, but now it does on CS6.
What I'm looking for are possible settings within Illustrator CS6 that I can tweak to make it a more stable program.
Thanks
