Mac illustrator CS5 Cmd-Shift- not working

I used this a lot to quickly change type size in earlier versions (up to CS4). The back arrow ( < ) works fine to reduce size but the > won't increase the size. I just trashed the prefs and restarted AI and it still doesn't work. Any ideas.

    nurcan,
    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):
    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 CtrlAltShift/CmdOptionShift 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.

    HI JUST COPYED CALL OF DUTY FROM ONE OF MY MACS TO OTHER IT WILL NOT WORK ON THE OTHER ONE?

    Are you saying that you bought the game from the App store and made another copy onto a dvd so you can play it on another computer too?  If so, you can not do that, you have to buy it again for the other computer.

  • Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

    Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

    hi eric. many thanks.
    i will have to read these links closer but what i meant to say is that the hard drive space that was being taken up seemed like it suddenly jumped way up because i had just gotten through a process in the last month where i am storing all my My Documents data on my Mac Pro. i am doing this in order to decide whether i should just keep it ALL on my Mac Pro and use ChronoSync to sync /some/ of it to my MBP.
    so if i look in the Documents folder on my Mac Pro i have a ton of folders that i have created with a ton of data. if i look in the Documents folder on my MBP there are NO folders that have data in them that i created. there are other folders such as folders that various software created but what i mean to point out is that there was a LOT of available space on my HD until recently.
    i am wondering if there is some way that running the Mail re-index (it then ran some kind of "Importing" routine) or by syncing my Photostream to the MBP caused a huge jump in data on this drive. if it is the photostream sync i can just take this off or see if it will sync more selectively. if it is something to do with mac mail jumping in size i am not sure why this would happen or what to do about it.
    does that question make sense?
    i mean, before i did these two operations my recollection is that i would have had 130 GB on the hard drive (really just guessing here) and now there is like 218 GB on the hard drive and i don't know where all this came from...

  • HT204150 Following problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac  contact-list. Please Help!!!! 

    ollowing problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac  contact-list. Please Help!!!!  thanks

    First, be sure that the contacts on the devices are in the "icloud" section and not the "On my iPhone" (or iPad) section of the contact listings/groups.
    Missing contacts:
    Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page.  If most of them are gone, then they are gone. 
    If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud. 
    On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
    Note:  Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.   So performing a restore will not help.
    Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
    Then they have been deleted.  There are many reasons for this.  One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device.  How to get them back?  Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases.  Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac).  Just restore the data files back to the computer.  Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

  • The keys on my mac book pro (2009) are not working properly, both letters and numbers.  I think I pressed something,but I cannot find a numlock key or other to undo this problem

    Both the letters and numbers on my mac book pro (2009) are not working correctly, but the caplocks key still lights up,the delete key is like a back key,the o key is enter,etc. I think I must of pressed a button but I cannot find numlock or the action to fix it back to normal.
    Need Help Please

    Try this. Open one of your files. The window that contains your picture is named at the top. Command click on the name and you'll see the entire path starting with its name and then moving to the folder, the folder it is contained in, etc all the way to down to the hard drive volume name. This should tell you where to find the folder.

  • Multiple undos opt+cmd+z not working in CC 2014

    Hello, I am on a new mac book pro with CC 2014 installed and I have no ability to undo multiple times...? This problem has happened since I upgraded to 2014. I have checked the keyboard shortcuts and the same shortcut as before (in CC) is active as shown in the image, step forward (using shift etc) works fine but 'Opt+CMD+Z' doesn't. It's not a keyboard issue as it is a new keyboard and the 'opt' key works fine with other apps.
    Any thoughts or help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hey Cozmicone,
    Yes I have done that - I mapped CMD + Z but that kind of gets in the way of years of habit and is a bit frustrating and confusing when you're working quick etc...
    It does work fine doing that (I have just uninstalled 3 versions of Photoshop and reinstalled CC 2014 and still no multiple undos on OPT + CMD + Z?! It's like it won't accept the key combination because if you go into map back to OPT + CMD + Z after changing it to CMD + Z it won't let you. You have to revert to default to even get that option back. C'est bizarre...non?

  • Object Lock Shortcut (Cmd 2) - Not working

    I can use the Object Lock shortcut on my Mac at home but for some reason that I can't solve, it does not work on my office Mac.
    Are there any triggers or settings that I can toggle to allow me to use this extremely helpful shortcut???
    Thanks

    There are a couple of places to look as to why your CMD 2 is not working
    Illustrator  >> Edit >> Keyboard Shortcuts
    Yours should look like mine.
    Also look at your system preferences >> Keyboard, and you want to look at all of these to make sure CMD 2 has not been used for nay of the commands here.

  • Illustrator CS5.1 will not open on OS X Lion 10.7.5 - "Could not complete the requested operation."

    Out of the blue, I can't get my Illustrator CS5.1 application to open. Instead the app icon bounces on the dock and the message "Could not complete the requested operation." appears.
    I have tried restarting the application, restarting the computer, I have tried holding Command+Option+Shift while opening, I have tried various methods of editing the "Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 Settings" folder, I have tried moving other application folders and font folders, all without success.
    The application is installed on a computer in my office and was installed as a downloadable upgrade to CS4. I was thinking a solution might be to install Illustrator, but I haven't been able to find a link to the CS5 program downloads.
    Today I tried to get help from Adobe Customer Support, who informed me that they no longer support CS5 and directed me to the forums instead. Any solutions???

    Hi,
    It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
    As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
    iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
    Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
    Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012  (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.
