Illustrator won't transform images!!

Hi everryone.
I tryed pressing ctl + T on windows illustrator to transform, it did it before but now theres a red line around my image and I can't edit it, does anyone know what im doing wrong?
thanks

I think you're confusing keyboard shortcuts with Photoshop's.
While Ctrl+T gets you free transform in Photoshop, it merely toggles Character palette visibility in Illustrator.
Hit 'E'. That's the keyboard shortcut for the free transform tool in Illustrator. For quick resizing/scaling, you can use the regular selection tool (black arrow) if you have bounding box set to show.
Yes... I know... Adobe cross-application user interface uniformity is an ongoing joke.
I don't know what the red line is doing there. You might somehow have added a stroke to your image.

  • Illustrator won't load .AI files...  Corrupt??  PDFFormat.aip required!

    Hello,

    PROBLEM
    Just last night, I went to load Illustrator CS4 and it loaded just fine.  I went to open up an Illustrator file that I have been working on and it came up with the error "An unknown error has occured."  The error popped up twice and I pressed my only option, OK.  The file didn't open.  Usually I can open the .AI files or at least import them into Photoshop and now Photoshop just freezes and closes itself when I attempt to import an Illustrator file.  Now, I tried to open a new document in Illustrator.  Before I could type in my specs for the project, Illustrator came up with an error "Illustrator cannot create document.  Command cancelled."  Out of curiosity, I went to see if the rest of my Adobe products were working.  They were all fine, aside from the Illustrator-realted Photoshop issue.
    I decided to re-install Illustrator.  I uninstalled it just fine and then installation went successfully.  However, now Illustrator will flat out not load, period.  It comes up with an error: "Missing Plug-In Required.  PDFFormat.aip missing."  I have conducted many searches since then to find out what the issue is and I have come up with nothing.  My thinking is that my version of Vista is not compatible, but that wouldn't explain why it ran flawlessly for three months before now. 
    As a result, all of my Illustrator files are corrupt.  My older version of Illustrator won't even open these files!  Nothing, not even Acrobat will read these files now.  Unknown errors all over the place.  I am sickened by the thought of the loss of all of my work.  I need these files!!  I need this program as well!  What is even stranger for me to understand is that the night before it worked fine and I used Illustrator without adding or changing a thing.  I worked for a little bit, then shut the lid of my laptop and went to bed.  That's it! 
    I can provide more details if necessary.
    Thank you for reading-- and for helping!  I would greatly appreciate any advice I can get.  I need to get back to work, pronto!!
    Thanks again!

    It is an unknown error and I do not think if they were working in the past that they are all of a sudden corrupt. It sounds to me like you will have to repair your permissions. Now I can tell you from experience that it sounds like Illustrator cannot access the various directories it has to and that seems to me like a permissions problem.
    You will need some one familiar with Windows and Vista to tell you how to go about his but the problem here is that all the Windows users seem opposed to even considering this possibility and instead of even trying this approach they have even gone to the extreme of having the user reinstal their system.
    So what I am writing is a suggestion and beyond that I wish you well.
    But before I go it can also be a font cache problem and there are tools to clear those files as well this approach at least has had some acceptance.
    Good Luck.

  • HT4101 The SD card reader won't import images to the iPad. I purchase 10 months ago, and haven't had a problem with it until today. How do I remedy this problem? I'm about the go out of town and prefer not a travel with my laptop.

    My SD card reader won't import images from the SD card. I purchased this product 10 months ago and have had no problem with it up to now. How do I remedy this problem. Using the product allows me to travel without a laptop ...Please help!

    Have you tried to give your device a reset? Sometimes that helps with glitches. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    ALso, the card reader will only see files that are formatted correctly. If you just took the images from your computer and put them onto the card, then it won't work. They have to follow a strict naming convention. There has to be a folder named DCIM on the card and then all those images have to have a file name of exactly 8 characters, DSC_3857 for example. Your camera makes this naming structure but if you manually put the photos on that card you may not have replicated it.
    Is this a card you've used before? If it's a new card and is empty then the iPad won't read it. Also if it's SDXC it won't read those either (XC cards use a file structure that the iPad can't decipher)

  • Firefox won't save images or web pages, even after upgrading, reinstalling and resetting... How do I fix this?

    A couple upgrades ago, I noticed that Firefox wouldn't boot properly. According to "Task Mgr.", it would load partially with a "*32" after it's name in the listing, but not enough to display a window on screen. After ending the process, and restarting the program again it would usually boot fully. (not always, but usually) The "*32" confuses me as I run a 64bit Windows 7 system and during installation I was sure that I saw mention of a 64bit program being installed. Apparently, after the last upgrade, that issue was resolved; but Task Mgr. still lists the program with a "*32" after it.
    The issue now at hand is that Firefox won't save images online or save web pages. I'll right-click and select "save image as" or "save page as" and... nothing. No box appears prompting me to name a file or designate a location to save that file to. Nor does anything happen when I use the "File" menu for the same function either. This is, to say the least, is very frustrating. There may be other things not functioning that I'm not currently aware of, but I haven't been able to or had time to do a complete check of the functionality of the program. I've never had issues of any significance with Firefox in the past. It's always been very reliable for me, so I'm hoping there's a relatively quick fix that I simply haven't been made aware of yet...
    Thank you for your suggestions and time looking into this matter...

    It probably will take a little time to work through this troubleshooting article, but hopefully you will get a complete solution: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
    Regarding the *32, I see the same thing on Win 7 Pro x64. No worries. Firefox for Windows is compiled only as a 32-bit application.

  • CS6 InDesign - Default display is high-quality. Four placed images are Illustrator files. Three images look the way they should - high-quality. One image looks pixelated. Why?

    InDesign CS6 - Default display is high-quality. All four placed images are Illustrator files. Three images look the way they should - high-quality. One image looks pixelated. Why?

    Not sure if this will help, but what is your inDesign file's "Transparency Blend Space" set to? It's under the edit menu.
    Also, when you are placing your images, are you selecting "Show Import Options" and making any selections there?

    more info would help. If you're using actionscript and
    loading images from a folder maybe your path to that location is
    wrong. It's possible that your images aren't in the right layer or
    level but noticed that when initially published.

  • How to resolve this error - "Cannot save the illustration The requested transformation would make.."

    Hello Adobe Community,
    I am trying to organize some album artwork within a pre-designed template and I keep getting this error when trying to save the file in the eps file format:
    Cannot save the illustration The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area.
    All the art is within the bleed lines. The only transformation I did was rotating one of the pieces 180 degrees. I'm not exactly sure what it is referring to when illustrator says objects are going to completely fall off the drawing area.
    Your insights would be appreciated.
    Thank you!
    Chris

    Did you use Guides at all? From the View menu, choose Guides>Clear Guides. Then zoom way out and do a Select All and see if there any stray points near the borders of the artboard. Direct select them and delete. Then try your transformation.

  • Updated CS6 and OS X to 10.10 Yosemite and Illustrator won't open

    I just did an adobe update for CS6 and OS X and now my illustrator won't open. It doesn't launch. It was working yesterday before the Adobe update.
    I get the message that has "Error Code: 0x00000014" in the coding, along with a bunch of other technical stuff I will never be able to wrap my head around. Anyone else have this problem or a solution to fixing it? Please help.

    Apple have provided an update to the Java Runtime that Illustrator uses. I couldn't open Illustrator when I upgraded to Yosemite, but I found this, and it's worked fine.

    menya,
    I believe you may as well go straight to 6) on 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.

  • Illustrator won't open on Windows 8.1

    I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and Illustrator won't open. Previously on Windows 8, Illustrator would only open when I was signed in as a guest. Now it keeps crashing for any user. This is issues has been going on for quite some time. Is this an Adobe issue or a Microsoft issue. Very frustrating. I'd like to get some work done.

    All current versions, CS, CS (64 bit) and 2014.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro.

    Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro. Any help? Thanks!

    I'm surprised that Apple would attempt such a "hack" design...  Switching graphics adapters mid-stream is no small task, and I can't imagine that they could ever make it work seamlessly.
    Keep in mind that the nature of the complex GPU beast is that graphics hardware doesn't all work the same (or right) and application software has to make decisions about what to do and what not to do, and even when to invoke certain workarounds - or it would never be possible to run on multiple platforms. 
    Yes, that seems wrong, but it's necessary and it makes developing cutting-edge graphics applications in the real world much more expensive.
    The decisions aren't re-made by an application all the time - that would slow things down terribly.  Instead, often the run-time environment is characterized at application startup and the features remembered for later use.  Modern applications actually even create programs (e.g., shaders or OpenCL programs) to run on specific GPU hardware, and they have to be compiled - something usually done by the application at startup.
    Now imagine that someone changes the capabilities of the graphics hardware completely after the application has started - even from one vendor's implementation to another (Intel to nVidia).
    Like I said, I'm surprised a reasonable system designer could ever think that swapping GPUs at run-time could be made to work.  At least Apple allows you to turn it off!
    Does Apple offer any "geek-level" configuration options that can force the use of a particular GPU for a given application?  It seems that this could be an automated workaround that would allow a given application to see only one GPU, which is what Photoshop appears to need here.

  • Why does my vector illustration convert to an image in illustrator CS6

    Hi, there
    I am experienced something that really shocked me!

I didn't resterize any of my illustration and I have done all my illustration in one file, the rest of my illustrations are fine but two illustration which are in the clipping mask are now images....can any pro help me here!? Much appreciated...

    Hi, Mike
    Thanks for ur reply,
    The original file is ai format , there is no embedded item in the palette, and I've drag it from a server to my desktop when I edited that file so I was saving it on my desktop. 
    I have checked the original file (which is on a server ) again. It's ai format and doesn't seem to be changed the format from .pdf into .ai.( as there is no reason to do it….)
    I was wondering that if it better to deselect save with .pdf compatible with every .ai file / and if with a possibility that it could damaged the .pdf half, why does adobe make this option into default? What does .pdf compatible help?
    Sorry about having lots of questions……
