Missing buttons perspective distort and touch type tool

Hi all -
I'm new to Illustrator and using video tutorials tutorials to learn my way around CS6. I've encountered two buttons in tutorials that I can't find anywhere on my workspace (I'm in layout): perspective distort and touch type.
Perspective distort: In the tutorial, when you click on the free transform tool a box pops up with 4 different options (constrain, free transform, perspective distort, free distort) - that box is not popping up. For reference: Transform artwork | Adobe Illustrator CC tutorials (approx 1:10). On my end there are no additional buttons for free transform.
Touch type: In the tutorial it has reference the touch type tool being in two different locations: in the character panel and in the type tool. No touch type tool anywhere in sight for me.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Both only available in the CC version (CC2014) not in CS6.

AI 16.2.1 and can not find Touch Type Tool. Where can I find the new feature?

If you are paying the monthly fee, then you should be able to download AICC from the Creative Cloud management app.

Touch Type tool isn't showing up in Illustrator CC

This function was supposed to be available mid-June. Still, it isn't available or showing in my Illustrator CC, in the "T" type options.
I really want this function! Where or when is it available???
~Karen

Character panel shows all t he old standards, no touch-type icon. Also, though the type tool shows, and behind it are several options, the Touch-type tool is not one of them.
Thanks for looking at this for me.

Indesign cc - Touch type tool

I just installed Id CC. Can't find the Touch type tool. Under the tekst tool, I only have regular tekst and tekst on a path. Can anyone help me? Btw, I have the Dutch version.

HI,
Touch Type tool is not a part of InDesign ( as stated in Heading) but is new feature in Illustrator.
Install Illustrator, update to 17.1 and you should be able to use it there.
Here is the help page link :

Illustrator CC Touch Type Crash

Just downloaded a bunch of CC applications, including Illustrator.
Illustrator seems to work fine, but every time I try to select the Touch Type tool, the program crashes and quits.
I'm using OSX 10.8.4
Here is the crash log:
http://pastebin.com/T5JdBhj0
Tried resetting preferences, but there was no default available to reset them to. Also tried deleting the Adobe Illustrator Prefs files, but they don't exist on my computer...

But the crash implicates your Wacom tablet. Have you disbled the wacexport.aip file and tried it?

TOUCH type not showing up

Have updated Illustrator from Creative Cloud and no Touch Type Tool. How to activate it?

touch type tool isnt available for CS6
i have CS6 and i dont know if i can update it or download it so i can use it

What happened to the type tool in Photoshop CS5?

In previous versions of Photoshop, when the type tool hovered over text I could edit, it switched to just the up and down type cursor tool...and when it was over a region where I could click to create a new text layer, the cursor would show up with a little bounding box around it. Now in CS5, it is showing up as the simple up and down type tool whether I am hovered over text or not....so no way of knowing if a click is going to take me into an editable text layer, or if it is going to create a new type layer..until I actually click..
Has anyone else run into this problem? Any idea the cause, or the solution, or is it just a bug, or something that they changed for some reason?
Thanks!

Hello!
Did you try to reset the text tool? (hit T, then right-click the tool preset icon in the Option bar, and select reset tool)
Usually, to make sure that I can create a new text layer, even if there is already some text, one can hold down the shift key to force the creation of a new text layer.

The font used in Adobe's touch type video

Hey folks, I have a question for anybody who's watched the video for the Illustrator Touch Type tool. Can be found here: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/creative-cloud-for-design/discover-the-new-touch-type-tool-in-ad obe-illustrator-cc/
In the video, Rufus started by typing in the word "CLIFFS." The illustrator bar says the font is Myriad Pro, which can't be right. Can anybody tell me the name of the first font that was used in the video? I tried What the font, but as you all must know how unreliable it is. If anybody knows, please let me know! Thanks.

It looks like Gill Sans to me.

Bug Report... Catalyst crashes when using type tool

FC is crashing nearly everytime I use the type tool or import type from AI or PS. It happens after import when I select the text to modify. I am running FC Beta 2 and am on Mac OSX 10.6.1. (the properties panel under common blanks out (doesn't show anything ie. X:, Y: W:, H:, Etc...) right before it crashes.)

Thought i'd post back here.. I think I have fixed the type tool issue in Catalyst. Since I am a designer by trade I had about 2500 fonts enabled on my machine... I usually dont have them all enabled but I just bought my new computer and didnt even think about it... so I disabled a good chunk, at least half, and the type tool is working fine so far.... it's only been about an hour or so since ive done it so, not sure if its 100% solution, but at least it has helped...
Might want to check the amount of fonts you have enabled when working with catalyst... keep it to a minimum.

Touch Type Werkzeug

Leider kann ich in Illustrator CS6 das Touch Type Werkzeug im Textmenu nicht finden. Wo kann ich dies aufrufen?

The 'Touch Type tool' will be in the new version of Illustrator. It hasn't been released yet.
You need to wait until June 17 before you can download Illustrator CC that has the Touch Type tool in it.
Edit: this assumes you have a Cloud subscription. If you have a perpetual license to CS6, you will not get the Touch type tool. You will however be able to continue to use CS6 for a long long time.
I don't know how good Google translate is but here it goes...
Die "Touch-Type Tool 'wird in der neuen Version von Illustrator zu sein. Es wurde noch nicht veröffentlicht.
Sie müssen sich bis zum 17. Juni warten, bevor Sie Illustrator CC, die die Touch-Text-Werkzeug in sich hat herunterladen können.
Edit: Das setzt voraus, Sie haben eine Cloud-Abonnement. Wenn Sie eine unbefristete Lizenz zu CS6 haben, werden Sie nicht bekommen, die Touch-Text-Werkzeug. Sie werden jedoch in der Lage sein, weiterhin CS6 für eine lange lange Zeit verwenden.

Produced DVD Exhibits Missing Music or Button Action, Even Though Check Project Tool and Play OK

Well, I have been successfully and faultlessly using Encore CS3 for several months, when all of a sudden my latest production suffers from the errors noted in the title; both Check Project Tool and "Play from Here" have always, in these problem cases, been OK. Just the discs weren't.
By the way, I am running this on a BOXX with dual Xeon 3.0, 4 gig ram, nVidia Quadro FX 1500, application on 10krpm 150 gig hd, and data on a slower 750 gig RAID 0, with everything cleaned and defragged, etc., etc. As yet, my problem is only with Encore, and not with more recently run Premiere (with Aspect HD), After Effects, Photoshop, and Ultra - nary, ever a problem with these! Also, never any problems with any DVDs, all burned 8X on a Sony writer, using DVD-R Verbatim discs. In the subject instances I assembled a disc format in Encore following my own self written 10 page procedure manual, step by step checklist, with ALL steps documented. So, I may be wrong, but I'm always consistant. And Check Project Tool, and preplay in Encore no errors, and worked perfectly, as usual.
But first burned disc played no audio on the main menu, while chapter menu music (from same source file as usual), was fine. And motion pictures in both main and chapter menus worked fine. Soooooo, complete recheck of project showed everything fine, and same Adobe checks worked fine, and another burned disc, same fault.
So, uninstalled Encore CS3, including preferences, etc., and re-installed. And brought in everything again, and reconstructed the structure from scratch again, and everything tested fine. Then I burned a test disc, 1 pass low rate Adobe Media Encoder converting from 1080i .avi to 480i, and the disc played perfectly! BUT THEN........ I reincoded at vbr 2pass, high quality, and burned twenty discs at 480p. And everything plays fine, EXCEPT, on all four of my test DVD players, the "timeline" plays fine, video and audio, the main menu pictures and music and "Play Movie" and "Chapter Selections" buttons all work, but although the Chapter Sub-menu pictures and music are as intended, the "Chapter 1" button is highlighted, as intended, but you can't move from there to the other chapters button or the button to return to the main menu.
And again, these all worked fine when the Check Project Tool was utilized just prior to setting up the DVD files and burning - and no, I touched NOTHING else in the meantime.
So, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
And I would certainly appreciate insights from anyone about what the matter might be (besides Microsoft), so long as the insights are thought provoking, whether they are valid or not.
But seriously, this has me stumped. And I really will NEVER, ever burn and print (full color!) 20 discs again without fully testing the first one burned and then never change anything in Encore.

Harm - thanks for the suggestion!
Given what I now know about transcoding and interlace effects, 480i insead of 480p is totally unacceptable to me, for excellent reasons explained in a moment. If Encore only works correctly with 480i (anyone have any thoughts as to why that might be true?) then its time for me to drop Encore and move on to another DVD assembler. I'd not care to do this, as I finally have all study of Encore and my related procedures manual put together, and I would certainly miss some of the fine and relatively easy features of Encore, to say nothing of the use of PixelPops panels in Encore. One other point. I badly mis-spoke myself in the original post, and I apologize for that. I should have said that Adobe Media Encoder was being used within Encore to encode from 1080p, not 1080i. More about all that in a moment.
So, I now have a further question, if I cannot get a work around for this. Anyone have any thoughts on an alternate DVD assembler with a decent transcoder, for $1,000 or less? No matter what, I intend to continue to use other Adobe products.
Now, as to why 480p! And I may just run an informational post about this sometime. Several weeks ago I had finally decided that what I had been putting together as 480i was just totally unacceptable because of the deinterlacing artifacts shown when run through the standard DVD player and typical LCD screen. The noise, particularly the misquito noise, the twitter, etc. was just too much. So I set aside three days, and all I did was run tests of various sequences of transcoding 1080i to 480 whatever. And of all the permutations and combinations, the clearly superior result was the following. As our friends at Cineform have so rightly commented, going from 1080 to 480 gives us all kinds of headroom to work with. So my current procedure is to first take the Cineform "visually perfect" 1080i .avi files and using the Cineform transcoder, convert them to 1080p.avi. Then, as noted above, I use the Adobe Media Encoder to go from 1080p to 480p. Now that picture, I am really happy with! And by the way, what is produced by using the Adobe Media Encoder to transcode directly from 1080i to 480p is truly grotesque - the horizontal distortion is so horrible it has to be seen to be believed! Other variations produced from good to marginal results. The closest acceptable was using Cineform to go from 1080i to 1080p and then to 480i, and then using AME to go from 480i to 480p DVD.
By the way, the final, best otherwise encoded 480i result showed up only marginally better than what I am doing now, when shown on a 109 inch screen using that great chip in the latest Toshiba HD-DVD player for the deinterlacing function. But when the same disc was played on your typical consumer DVD player and flat panel screen, the result was marginal. I have read many places that we are better off letting the consumer players or screens conduct the deinterlacing of our 480i productions, instead of producing 480p discs ourselves. Given the transcoders I currently have to work with, I would say that is just nonsense. If all the consumers had players with great deinterlacers that would be true. But it isn't true!

InDesign CS6 for Windows: Type tool crashes program and am getting missing plug-in msgs.

Just installed InDesign CS6 for Windows. When I open the program, I receive three messages:
(1) Paragraph Panel.APLN needs Justification Panel plugin;
(2) Runin Styles Panell.APLN needs Find and Change Panel plug-in;
(3) Objectstylesui.APLN needs Graphics Panel plug-in.
To top it off, the type tool crashes the program.
I couldn't locate any current forum postings that appeared to help. I have uninstalled and re-installed the software. I have done an update from Adobe.
Advice? This is an educator's addition if that matters.
Thanks,
Julie

Thank for your help Peter. My software is working just fine now.
For others who might encounter these issues, here is how - with Peter Spier's help - I solved my problems. I uninstalled the previous CS6 version and re-booted. I disconnected from the Internet and then disabled my antivirus protection, antispyware and firewall. I had to do this in Norton as well as Windows (Windows Defender and Windows Firewall). Then I re-loaded the entire CS6 and re-booted. I opened InDesign. I no longer got the msgs about plug-ins missing. I then opened a new file and checked the Type tool. It worked fine. I opened an InDesign CS3 file, saved it as a new file in ID CS6. I was able to successfully edit text using the Type Tool.
Thank you to Peter for your help!
