Lost pantone library?

Illustrator CS2 suddenly stopped launching.  Cannot find disk and Adobe won't help. Switched to Illustrator 10 to work. Suddenly unable to find Pantone swatches in Illustrator 10. No drop down menu for swatch library. Tried to upgrade CS2 but computer does not have new intel processor. Ultimately I would like to have my CS2 back but will settle for Pantones.  I'm running into walls. Help? 

Ann,
You may try a search for Pantone and see where they may hide. The files are AI files.
On a Win machine they should be in:
C>Program Files>Illustrator 10>Presets>Swatches along with Default_Cmyk and Default_RGB,
apart from the Pre-2000 versions which should be in:
C>Program Files>Illustrator 10>Presets>Pantone Libraries pre-2000
I am not sure about a Mac; you may see where the Default_Cmyk and Default_RGB.
If you can find them, you can move them to the right folder.
You cannot find them as separate files on the disk, unfortunately.

  • My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling.  Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library?  HELP!

    My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling.  Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library?  HELP!

    The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
    If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    and
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
    If that still doesn't work, try this:
    Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
    Hope this helps.

  • Loading Pantone Library

    Is there a good way to load a pantone, or a portion of a pantone library into your swatches pallete in INdesign cs5? I found how to add indvidual colors but if I could I would like to add more of the library to my swatches pallete.
    In a realted issue I was wondering why some pantone colors I can'tsearch for in the "swatch name" search field. For example you cant search for reflex blue or cool grey 7. Once I find those colors on the list the "swatch names" field will show thier name or a number. However you cant manually put those names or numbers into that field to find those colors. Does any one know why this might be? Is there a good work around or I am going about this wrong?

    Try this zip archive, which includes Pantone Solid color library charts.

    With the charts you can use the text find/change

  • Have i lost my library forever???

    Hi all,
    I know other people have asked this.
    I have my itunes library on a pc which has recently packed up.
    The computer does not power up the hard drive so i have no way of getting in to it.
    I have bought a laptop to replace it and now need to retrieve my itunes library but when i log in i have nothing.
    Is there something i need to do or have i lost my library forever.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    The first thing you need to do is get the hard drive out of your packed up PC. Find out it's size, and connector (PATA, SATA, etc) and buy an external hard disk caddy (USB preferably). Put the hard drive in the caddy, attach to your new computer, and you'll have access to your old data
    Whilst it's not helpful at the moment, please research how to backup your data in the future: Using the above method, you'll now have an external hard disk in which to backup to!

  • Screensaver configuration problem with lost iPhoto library

    Hi,  I justed switched my macbook and I used to have another iPhoto library in an external HD that is now gone. I cannot configure the screensaver, I think it searches for my lost iPhoto library and cannot select my current pictures. Can someone help me with this problem? Thanks.

    If the rebuild doesn't help try Fix 101:  make a temporary, backup copy of the library if you don't already have a backup copy and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • TS1967 When trying to recover a lost iTunes library file, the programme moved all the normal contents of iTunes folder to the desktop. Now what must I do?

    When trying to recover a lost iTunes library file, the programme moved all the normal contents of iTunes folder to the desktop. Now what must I do? There is no iTunes Library.itl file. On the desktop it is labelled iTunes Library.xml. Several others files have appeared there too including iTunes Music Library.xml
    Before I can use the programme is it necessary to take another step?
    Thanks for advice.

    Don't worry. I'm all for caution. I guess I should have asked a little more about what steps you took while trying to recover your lost library?
    The permissions thing may be a red herring, but if there is a problem with file access rights to the designated media folder iTunes has been known to place files on the desktop instead since it can access this location. The most common cause for such problems is working with a folder on an NTFS drive via a differnt account or on a different computer. In the normal course of events folders created inside user profiles have limited rights for other users.
    Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    Normally the iTunes folder will be created at <User's Music>\iTunes with the media folder inside it. The library files should all appear in the same place so your comment about there not being an iTunes Library.itl file is confusing. Is it just the case that the .itl extension is hidden? The two .xml files makes sense from the above and indicates that the active library is not in <User's Music>\iTunes, but you have a recovered file from when it was.
    If, in fact, the situation is that your desktop is acting as the main iTunes folder, and contains the library file, Album Artwork, iTunes Media and (optionally) Previous iTunes Libraries folders, with all other content being inside the iTunes Media folder, then it should be relativly easy to rearrange your into the correct shape and move them to the correct location.
    If things are more complex, with something other than a library folder containing a media folder, then reestablishing the normal order is more complicated. The iTunes consolidate function is used to bring copies of files stored outside of the media folder into the media folder. It may sometimes be needed as part of the process of tidying up, however it leaves behind originals. There are circumstances where there isn't room for two complete sets of the media files on the same drive which is why I suggested the script might be useful as it produces the same results for the library without leaving the originals for manual clear up.
    I think before you do anything however, we should get a clearer picture of exactly what is where. Could you perhaps take a screenshot of the desktop and post it here? Take a look at this post on making a split library portable. The same techniques I outline there can be used to lick your library into shape, it is just a question of working out which to use in which order for the best effect.

  • My itunes recently lost its library for no apparent reason.

    My itunes recently lost its library for no apparent reason. The only library backup is an old one that does not reflect my current iPhone, and I do not want to have to re-input all the lyrics for the music I have imported in that time. Does itunes not automatically create a backup of its libraries? Is there anyway to copy this information off the iPhone?
    I'm okay to simply drag all my music into a new itunes library, I don't want to go through the process of editing each individual file again, whether its cutting certain start/stop times, or inputting the lyrics for every single song...
    Any ideas? I've tried googling a solution for hours. I even tried to system restore. This morning when opening Itunes, it simply told me that it could not locate a library, please select a library.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Lost Pantone colors in menu

    Lost Pantone colors in menu after updating OS to 10.4.11, and installed all on-line updates in our CS3 suite (Mac version). Before updates we had access to them under the window menu. Does anyone know how to get them back without re-installing entire suit?
    Thanks for our help.

    Do a search on the forum -- I believe this was due to some kind of font issue.
