Illustrator is snapping to point without the option selected.

Illustrator is snapping to point without the option selected. Anyone else noticing this and what is the solution. Yes I have restarted illustrator.

slange,
Then 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 (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 curent artwork first, of course.
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 (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.

  • Control mouse pointer without the mouse

    Hello,
    My Mac Mini seems to no longer recognize my mouse. It has been fine for nearly a year though. Both the mouse and keyboard are wireless. The pointer does not move when I move the mouse, but when I press the return button on the keyboard the computer does wake from sleep mode. I don't know how to control the pointer without the mouse though.
    The issues seem to have started when my new version of iTunes seemed to start acting up. The bar at the top of the screen shows that it thinks it is still in iTunes. The computer has been manually turned off and restarted and still comes up the same way, with the mouse pointer in the same spot.
    Does anybody know what the issue may be and also how I can control the pointer without the mouse? I apologize for the lack of knowledge as I'm used to a pc and do not know the keyboard controls on a Mac. Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    You should always have an inexpensive USB mouse and keyboard for times such as this. After you have gotten a USB mouse, you can get one at Target for US$10, drag & drop the iTunes app into the Trash. Restart your Mac and while you are at it do a PRAM reset. Then download iTunes from this link and reinstall. Hopefully this will resolve your issues.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Reset the PRAM
    • (Re)start the computer
    • Immediately press & hold the CommandOption+PR keys
    • Wait for two startup chimes
    • Release the keys and allow the computer to boot.
    Also, do you ever repair the disk permissions on your Mac? To repair the disk permissions open Disk Utility in the Apps/Utilities folder. Highlight your startup drive in the list on the left with one mouse click. In the right pane press Repair Permissions. Wait for it to finish.

  • Create a form without the option to submit or send via email

    Just oant to know is it posible to create a form without the option to submit or send via email. I want my students to fill in the form and save it to a personal folder. The submit form button creates confusion.

    Many thanks Randy, I'll give it a go. But it means setting up the how to pay question at the top of the form. Currently we have it setup at the bottom.
    Think I can do a "Will you be paying by credit card?" check box at the top - Tick equal show Fields A (which I have already mapped to the payment option) and Unchecked Show Fields B.
    Sound logical..will be cumbersome though as there are 12 mult show/hide fileds in there already  here's the link just for the original form for future reference for anyone in the forum wanting to see what the form looks like and is facing the same problem.
    Will make the changes in a quiet perios and anyone interested can take a look next week and see how I got on.
    Appreciate your response Randy

  • Drag Select Inside Points With The Direct Selection Tool While Above An Object?

    I'm trying to modify a path in InDesign CS5 (Fig. 2), as it is now I have to select each point individually. Becasue while you're zoomed in (Fig. 1), you can't drag and select the points. When you attempt to do that, you end up dragging the whole image.
    Is there a way to drag select inside points with the direct selection tool while your directly above the image with the paths you want to select?
    Fig. 1
    Fig. 2

    FAIL #1:
    No. When you copy paste the Cliiping Path [NOT the frame] into Illustrator, then alter the path and paste back into Indesign, it pastes it back as a FRAME, NOT a CLIPPING PATH.
    FAIL #2:
    Why do people comment on this stuff without first testing what they are suggesting?
    What you suggested doesn't work or even make sense.
    Apprently in InDesign, you can't have a CLIPPING PATH without an IMAGE there to begin with. When a FRAME OBJECT contains an IMAGE the option to convert the object to an UNNASSIGNED OBJECT is greyed-out, as in UNSELECTABLE, as in NOT POSSIBLE, which is another way of saying IMPOSSIBLE, which in most circles pertains to MAJOR FAILAGE.
    When you CUT [hold command then press X] the CLIPPING PATH, from the FRAME/OBJECT you can then unassign the object, but when you paste the CLIPPING PATH back in, it invariably pastes the IMAGE along with the CLIPPING PATH, and once again the UNASSIGNED OBJECT is simply an ordinary frame with an image, and thus NO LONGER AN UNASSIGNED FRAME.
    People like you make life harder dude, seriously.
    Again, like some of the folks above, you're confusing a FRAME PATH [that you can alter and create with the pen tool as well] with a CLIPPING PATH. They are NOT the same thing. 
    Know the difference between the two before you feel inclined to respond.
    My kingdom for someone out there with some merit and sense of accountability.
    It's like, where do you people work? Are you serious? SMH.

  • How can I set a specific value for a field, according to the option selected in a previous drop-down menu?

    Eg.: I have a drop down menu with the following options: "1,2,3,4,5". What I want to do is the followin: If the option selected is "1" the field "Color" must be filled with "Green", if "2" the field color must be filled with "Red", etc

    You can use something like this as the custom calculation script of the color field:
    var v = this.getField("Dropdown1").valueAsString;
    if (v=="1") event.value = "Green";
    else if (v=="2") event.value = "Red";
    // etc.
    else event.value = "";

  • How can I access the option selected in ui:radioButtonGroup in javascript

    Hi,
    I'd like to access the option selected in ui:radioButtonGroup in my javascript.
    I tried doing something like this to no avail:
    <ui:radioButtonGroup binding="#{ReportParameter.reportTypeButtonGroup}" id="reportTypeButtonGroup" items="#{ReportParameter.reportTypeButtonGroupDefaultOptions.options}" onClick="common_timeoutSubmitForm(this.form, 'table:tr:td:reportTypeButtonGroup');" valueChangeListener="#{ReportParameter.reportTypeButtonGroup_processValueChange}"/>
    function say_hello ()
           var myVar2 = document.getElementById("form1:reportTypeButtonGroup");
            alert("Value is againg: " + myVar2.value);
    }but this always returns the first option. How would I access what value the user selected? Also, I cannot find any docs on how I would access fields of jsf components through javascript. Are there any books, links or resources I can follow so that I can use javascript in my jsf applications?
    Thanks,
    Marc

    yes, i should expand.....the external hard drive i link iphoto to has had an error and basically the iphoto package is hoarding all of my photos so i'm searching everywhere i can to piece back the 1 TB of photos that are gone. data recovery is too expensive from what i have found so i'm left trying to do this! i have another external drive that backs up my entire system on a regular basis throughout the day. i was able to recover the iphoto library from a few months ago before it was deleted (it had been backed up). so i'm only missing a few months of photos now. i was hoping if i could access the trash files (if they're backed up on this drive) that i would find photographs that had been on my desktop and then i'd put in the trash......does that help clarify??? so i basically want to look in the trash bin that was backed up in several files on this drive (IF that's even possible!) thanks for your help!!!

    Hi,
    Check in Add-ons to see if you have any toolbars installed:
    [[Uninstalling add-ons|Uninstalling add-ons]]
    Because the Ask Toolbar (a custom version I think) is sometimes installed (or offered to be installed) with other programs, such as Foxit Reader.

  • I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano,  but when I click on the Music tab at the top, it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc.  I cannot un-check the Entire Music library option and check the Selected Artist - on

    I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano,  but when I click on the Music tab at the top,
    it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc.  I cannot un-check the Entire Music library
    option and check the Selected Artist … one.
    I have changed the Sync option to Manually sync, but that does not help.
    How can I change this to the second option?
    Thanks.

    There is a checkbox above those two options for how to sync.  It says Sync Music; it enables automatic syncing.  That box needs to be checked before you can select from the two options for how automatic syncing is performed.
    NOTE:  If the iPod is current set up to Manually manage music [and videos], checking that Sync Music box replaces its current content with content from your iTunes library, based on how automatic syncing is set up on that screen.
    So, if your goal is to add ONE playlist to an iPod that is managed manually, you do not want to do this because iTunes will erase the iPod's current content and replace it with just that ONE selected playlist (and whatever else you select on that Music settings screen).
    Instead, if the iPod currently uses the manual setting, you need to add playlists manually to the iPod (not use the automatic syncing setting).  Please post back with more details about your situation. 

  • When trying to save photos attached to gmail the pop up is empty without the option save

    i need help.tried for the first time to save attached pictures to gmail. the pop up i get is an empty  ball like magnifying glass or an empty box without the text save picture. any idea what to do?

    You have the bare minimum RAM for the program to launch.  Running it well is a different matter.
    You don't have nearly enough available drive space on that C drive to accomodate both the swap files of the OS and a Photoshop scratch disk.  Your D drive is woefully short on space too.
    My system is bare bones minimal and I have a dedicated 250 GB hard drive as my primary Photoshop scratch drive.
    The error message you are getting means exactly what it says.

  • When I do a search, with MSN as my homepage, it pops up in a new window not a tab like it used to. MSN says it is Firefox related. How do I fix this? I have the option selected to open new windows in tabs instead and it still won't work.

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [/questions/832115]</blockquote><br>
    I use Firefox 4.0.1 and have MSN set as my homepage. Recently, even with the option set to make windows open in tabs instead, if I do searches on the MSN page, the results pop up in a new window. I contacted MSN and they said it is something to do with Firefox. It didn't use to do this, even after initially upgraded to 4.0.1, but started about a week ago and even with me doing nothing to my computer. How do I get this to stop and go back to new tabs instead?
    It does not do this using Google, AOL, Yahoo, or another other search, just MSN/Bing.

    That's strange. It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is changing your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal? Also have you tried uninstalling & re-installing flash? If you need help un-installing Flash see http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html. You also could try safe mode. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Safe+Mode .

  • How can I keep bootable partitions from showing when I want to use my usb stick without the option command at boot up?

    Im using a usb stick with bootable diagnostic partitions and a extra partition for diags that run in the OS. When i want to use diagnostics from this extra partition on a mac thats already booted, I have to wait for all the bootable partitions to mount as well as the one partition that I need. Is there a way to hide these bootable partitions when using the usb drive as a storage device to run diags in the OS?
    Thanks

    I think I may have to look into a redirect line in my htaccess file so that direct loads of my mp3's route through my website page.
    If you do this you may find iTunes won't read the files, so I should test carefully on one file first if possible.

  • How do I disable automatic updating? I am about to switch to another browser because of the frequency with which I am delayed by an automatic update without the option to put it off to another time.

    I have been using Firefox and its ancestors since the beginning. I am at the end of my rope with it. When I click a link or open the browser it is because that is what I seek to have happen. Unless there is a way to turn off automatic updating, I am going to pack it in and find another platform. I cannot see what would be lost if Firefox would do its updating on the way out, when my attention has moved on, and it is not taking up my time. Is there a solution to this with Firefox?

    Hi,
    It is true that the Classic Theme Restorer add-on will NOT bring back all of your customized settings/appearance on Firefox 28, but it will help a little It's recommended that you stay on the latest version to receive the latest security fixes and bug patches but you're free to downgrade if you want.
    You can set these prefs in <code>about:config</code> to disable automatic updating:<br>
    app.update.auto - false<br>
    app.update.enabled - false<br>
    app.update.silent - false<br>

  • IWeb site saves AND publishes, without the option to publish or not

    I cannot make any changes, and save them, unless I want the page published on this site:
    http://web.mac.com/joneve/ThePeregrine_Muse/Whoshere.html
    On another site I can save changes I make and then I'm prompted to choose publish or don't publish the page.
    With the first site, where saving constitutes publishing, I can't work ahead. I can't make any changes until I'm ready to publish them. So I can't do part of a page, or update a page, and save my work to be published later.
    This happens with every page on this site - it doesn't matter whether there's only text, or text and graphic or music files - any change that gets saved gets published immediately.
    What could be the problem and how can I correct it?
    Any suggestions will be very appreciated.
    Thanks.

    What happens when you select "save" from the file menu or do < command S > ?
