Illustrator keeps making En_US settings and preferences folders

Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with Illustrator CS6. I had the En_GB version installed, but somehow Illustrator keeps making En_US folders and uses those as the default. Is there a way that I can just have one language installed in my preferences and libraries, so I don't have to figure out every time where for example my user swatch libraries etc. are stored? And if I make a new 'print' document for instance, it uses millimeters instead of points, as it is in the En_GB version.
Somehow I think it might have something to do with a strange update I think occurred. The thing is: I got a message to update and then it seemed it was reinstalling the whole Illustrator application. I don't have the cloud subscription yet, but somehow it looked like that update had something to do with that. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
I can remove the En_US folders, but whenever I start up Illustrator they magically appear again.
Hope you can help me figure this out!
Marinka

en_US and en_GB folders are dependent on the Language you install the software.
If you install the software in English (Universal) then en_US folder gets created, when in English (International) then en_GB gets created and when with Japan then en_JP folder gets created.
It is not dependent on the preferences or setting in Illustrator.
I think that was Mylenium trying to point in the first reply.
Have you uninstalled or re-installed the Illustartor , also did you know in what language did you installed the software ?

  • Lost settings and preferences on startup

    I had a very unusual problem this AM. On computer start up all my FF settings, preferences, tool bar settings, homepage were lost and FF reverted back to it's default settings. My bookmarks were still there. I've never seen that before. I did a system restart and still the same thing. So I had to reset all the settings and preferences. Nothing odd with my IE9 browser. I did a security sweep and everything was normal. Anybody seen this before?

    Hey there, do you also still have your history, cookies and passwords intact? If yes, this sounds like someone activated Firefox Reset on that computer. In any case, you should be able to find your old profile on your computer still as Firefox reset just creates a copy and leaves the old profile as it is. You can use this article to locate your profile, and it also links to the profile manager to switch profiles: [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]

  • Illustrator keeps forgetting my settings

    I once set up Illustrator (CS5) with custom brushes and actions, etc. so that they load when Illustrator starts up. But since then, I've made changes to the settings, and I can't get Illustrator to remember them. My settings are saved on the hard drive, but when Illustrator starts up, I have to reload the settings each time. I've tried saving the document as a New Document Profile after loading the settings, but it still doesn't stick. Any ideas?

    1) Edit these files and then choose that docuement profile when you create a new document.
    HD\Users\(user name)\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS#\en_US\New Document Profiles
    2) You can also save your libraries and set them to persistent. This method has not worked for me in the past, so I usually use the first one.

    hi koushikt,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The Desktop Window Manager is a part of Windows 8 that manages the aero effects (i.e. Aero Peek, Window Coloration, etc.). From the screenshots that you posted, it looks like a problem with DWM itself as discussed in this microsoft article.
    Can you try to:
    1. Run Windows Updates to get the latest patch and bug fixes for your OS.
    2. Update your display driver (if you have Intel HD 4000 Graphics, get it here)
    3. Disable visual effects and reboot.
    Let me know your findings,

  • Why do i keep loosing my settings and homepage setting in safari

    when setting homepage and other settings in Safari why do I loose them every time I switch computer off, when I switch computer back on I am on Apple home page instead of my homepage and any settings disappear. As far as I can remember it started when switching up to Mountain Lion and has been doing it ever since.
    many thanks for any help

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • How do i remove the settings and preferences of the iCloud Control Panel?

    I had problems with my Office 365 (Outlook 2013) and making it work with iCloud. I repaired the install of my office 2013, but the iCloud Control Panel keeps giving me an error as it thinks the icloud integration for Outlook 2013 is still installed....which it isnt.
    I cannot revert to the setting i had with only Photostream active.
    The only solution was to uninstall the iCloud Control Panel. I tried deleting some files from users->roaming->apple, which looked like preference files. But after reinstalling iCloud Control Panel, it immediately opened the old setting which it remembered somehow and uninstalling didnt deletet, stating the faulty Office connection is active...which it isnt.
    Pity i cant even now use photostream, to have my images on my desktop. I know i should buy a mac..where you can jus simply delete preference files from the user library. But does anyone know how to really delete every install history of the iCloud Control Panel on a pc. So i can do a clean install and start using photostream again
    Any help is much appreciated

    thank you for taking the time to reply to my issue. was there something i did that caused this to happen and if so, can i undo it? a second problem has now surfaced; i cannot get my firefox to load. i tried the suggestion in an article on this site i.e., to bring up the Task Manager and end the process for firefox.exe so i can uninstall/reinstall the firefox application. this does not work for me. HELP! i'd much rather use firefox than explorer.

  • IPad synced with PC - how do I remove "settings and preferences" from PC?

    Hi all: initially, I synced my iPad with my office PC, but I decided to let my iPhone stay synced to that PC and I'll sync my iPad with my home MacBook Pro. It seems that the apps for the iPhone and iPad are really different. I ended up having to buy all new apps for the iPad as the iPhone apps showed up really small.
    Anyway with that said, how do I remove the "settings/preferences" of the iPad on the PC?
    Please give directions slowly as I'm really a Mac user and don't know my way too well around a PC.
    Thanks,
    Anne

    Although most iPhone apps can be installed and used on an iPad, they are different. They were written to be optimized for the iPhone and iPod Touch screen size. After an app is upgraded to be universal which includes being optimized for the iPad's screen size, it will look much better on the iPad. With my apps that have been upgraded to being universal, I do not have two versions in my iTunes library - one optimized for the iPod, and another optimized for the iPhone.
    Anyway with that said, how do I remove the "settings/preferences" of the iPad on the PC?
    You don't, or can't.
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPad can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content including 3rd party apps from an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPad first.
    You can sync contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers. An iPad can have different sync preferences under the various tabs for the iPad sync preferences with iTunes on each computer.

  • Problems locking settings and preferences.

    So, as the subject says, When I click the lock button, to lock my preferences and settings, the lock does not close. It just flinches and stays open. I find this very disturbing and have had to rebuild my system from an unprotected infiltration and have never run into this issue before. Anyone else having the same problems? I first noticed it when I attempted to lock my time machine settings.

    Works fine here on all five systems. Did you install SL as an upgrade or install on a freshly formatted drive? If the former then you may have had a dysfunctional system to start with prior to upgrading. Erasing the drive and reinstalling from scratch should fix the problem. However, before doing that try deleting the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist file. In addition there will be one or more com.apple.systempreferences.xxx.plist file located in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder, too. Delete as well. Restart the computer.

  • Can I use Synch to migrate (import) settings and preferences and history etc. from Firefox 4.0.1 on a PC to a new Mac running Snow Leopard, and if so, how?

    I love Firefox and have relied on it for years. But I'm now planning to move from PC to Mac and would like to keep as much of my Firefox personalization and customization as possible. I have never needed to use the Synch feature before, and I cannot find reliable instructions telling me how to do it in these circumstances. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions? Thanks very much.

    Ubuntu may have moved those three button as well to that control bar.

  • ITunes Gone Haywire: Playlists, Folders, Settings and more

    Hello all. Man...I really need some sage advice in a bad way. I've been trying my best to conquer this major iTunes problem of mine, but ultimately, I have just not been able to find a working solution to fix it. Even my efforts at pinpointing the source of my troubles have been in vain. I've finally become exasperated enough that I decided I be better off trying my luck here. Any help would be very much appreciated.
    THE PROBLEM(S): A couple months ago I was working on some music projects within iTunes, when something seemed to go awry, because it promptly started acting strangely, not like it normally did, and that's when I began to experience the problems. It had always run smoothly for me up until then, but it's been giving me major trouble ever since. Here's some of what's been going on:
    Playlists gone haywire: My entire stable of folders and playlists has seemingly gone mad, doing all sorts of unfortunate and crazy things. I routinely get new waves of unwanted playlists and folders appearing in my library--some are exact duplicates of playlists and folders that already existed in my library, while others bear the same or similar titles, but are deformed in one way or another. Moreover, I'll often get a bunch of very old playlists reappear--ones that I had long since deleted from my library. Other times I will find that a whole bunch of the lists and folders have suddenly disappeared again, or sometimes their location will change. The worst of all is when, as happened a few times, I just completed a bunch of changes and modifications to the library's folders and playlists, or I was working on a music project in some lists, and then suddenly it all disappears into thin air a short time later (after a reboot of iTunes, for instance).
    B) iTunes Library Files (itl, xml, genius, extras, and sentry): They refuse to nest in the main iTunes folder location they are supposed to reside in. Instead they insist on taking up residence in my Previous iTunes Libraries folder. I tried a few strategies I had come across here in the pages of the community, but none has worked to date.
    C) Unstable Preference Settings: At least a few times I've logged on to iTunes to find that my usual settings and preferences have completely changed, causing problems. Sometimes it will change my iTunes Media folder location in Edit>Preferences>Advanced to another location (like to my Previous iTunes Libraries folder location), thus creating a new hierarchy of media folders therein. Also, my settings in View keep changing back and forth, my sources in Edit>Preferences>General had changed on me one time, and more.
    MY CURRENT SETUP
    -My PC: Dell Inc. Inspiron 580, Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Edition, Service Pack 1 (Build 7601)
    -iTunes 11.1.3.8
    Library Size: 335 GB, 24,734 files, 13,056 folders
    I'm an iTunes Match subscriber.
    Current iTunes Media folder location via Edit>Preferences>Advanced tab: C:/Users/Dowgiert/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media. Both "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" are currently checked.
    Current folder path
    Titles iTunes has chosen for my library files it uses: iTunes Library 2013-10-25 Extras, iTunes Library 2013-10-25 Genius, iTunes Library 2013-10-25 (.itl), iTunes Library 2013-10-25 (.xml), sentinel *See screen shot below.
    Current location that iTunes uses for my library files (database .itl file, genius file, etc.) is: C:/Users/Dowgiert/Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries. The folder paths for these same files are: C:/Users/Dowgiert/My Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries.
    -I also have an iPad 2, and a couple other iPods (classic and Nano). None of these currently has the iTunes library in the desired state (thus ruling out importing from them).
    WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR
    -Backed up my library with SyncToy 2.1 (x64)
    -I downloaded iTunes Folder Watch, however it doesn't seem to work until I fix the location of my .xml file.
    -I've tried countless other fixes, changes to my software and PC, etc., but I won't list them all here now. Feel free to ask me more.
    WHAT I'VE NOTICED
    -It seems like these unpleasant library changes are often more likely (but not always) to coincide with one of the following: an iTunes update; an iTunes Match update; a Genius update; an iTunes shutdown, followed by a later restart of the program.
    Again, thank you so much for any help. I'm really stuck. I have all sorts of other information at the ready, so feel free to ask if you have questions.

    Hello again Mr. TuringTest2! Continued thanks for your help sir! I've long suspected that iTunes Match was partly responsible for my troubles, by the way. Let me update you on what's going on.
    New Steps I've Taken:
    -After your last response, I did the readings (thanks!), and then began by turning off my iTunes Match. From reading the post you provided on resetting iTunes Match, I got the impression that my order of operations should go as follows (please correct me if I'm wrong):
    1st) Disable iTunes Match. [Completed]
    2nd) Clean up my library [Started, but not completed*]
    3rd) Try the Shift+ start iTunes Match technique to try and successfully clear away any harmful entries that might be saved in my Apple iCloud/iMatch database. [Incomplete]
    4th) Restart iTunes and turn iTunes Match back on. Determine if the problems continue. [Incomplete]
    *UPDATE: STEP 2 INTERRUPTED
    I began clearing, moving, and modifying the playlists and folders that were the unwanted end-products of my recent troubles. I was making good progress cleaning up: Went from 258 playlists (regular) down to 200, and from 67 folders and subfolders down to 27. I hadn't yet deleted any of my 56 smart playlists, but did place them all into one folder (to organize them for later cutting).
    Then came the hiccup. I didn't know clicking the button seen below on my account page would automatically turn iTunes Match back on, but it did:
    Match ran it's usual 3-step process, and in just a few moments, undid the almost all of the aforementioned progress I had made. Of course, as it seems want to do, it added back a whole bunch of trash playlists and folders.
    I ran a couple of your scripts to assess the damage. They showed that just by this accidental restart of iTunes Match alone, my library ballooned from 200 reg playlists/56 smart lists/27 folders, all the way up to new totals of 264/64/47!
    When I returned to the problem today, first thing I did was turn iTunes Match off again. This resulted in dropping the totals to 235/63/47. I found that odd, so I did some more testing--turning Match on and off, each time recording the results. Here's all the recorded results in total numbers of regular playlists, smart playlists, and folder counts after each change:
    Off:     200/56/27
    On:     264/64/47
    Off:     235/63/47
    On:     285/64/48
    Off:     256/63/48
    On:     306/64/49
    Off:     277/63/49
    I ran your PlaylistToFile script each time after I turned iTunes Match off (it wouldn't run when I had Match on for some reason) and made copies of the results. I wanted to be able to see the specific changes being made each time, and to try and determine which specific playlists and folders were acting up. I you think taking a look at these results would be useful, I've copied them into a shared google document you can access at the following link:
    -https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ESzfCpcO14krXp5sTQdMke0CpFDF--gbwVxrGaNmbgw/ edit?usp=sharing
    I also noticed that iTunes started creating more backups of my library's database files within the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. Here's an image of the new ones:
    Also, it appears iTunes created new .itl and .xml files in my main iTunes folder (see below). Or at least that's what the "Date Created" info column says. What up with that? Also, I still have the Trash folder here that you told me to set up, and a couple new .tmp files have appeared. Here's how it looks:
    What do you think I should do tt2? If I had completed the four steps (outlined at top) without accidentally turning on Match before I all four were completed, would that have fixed the problem? Should I do something different, or in a different order? I'm all ears. Thank you so much for all your help!
    Eternally grateful,
    Forest
