My Illustrator's got "toys in the attic"!
Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me with this problem. Illustrator CS4 on MacOSX10.5.8
I opened Illustrator just now, typed in the size print document I wanted and it disappeared off to the right. All the way off to the right, I could see the edge of the art board or edge of the white area.
I closed out of Illustrator, restarted my computer and came back to Illustrator. This time I set the artwork size to 8.5 x 11 (letter).
Same thing happened.
I reduced the size all the way down to 4.17% so I could find the page size.
Zoom will not work. I click on the minus and it jumps between 6400% and 4800%. I have to manually size down to 4.17% in the lower left hand corner of window.
Even when it is a 4.17% it wants to be as far right as it can get. If I move the sliders to center it, when I release the mouse button, it runs back to the right.
Has this Illustrator finally gone "over the rainbow"? Has anyone had this problem?
Any ideas welcome.
Another problem. I decided to do my project in InDesign just to get it done. It was working fine then suddenly the art board went to it's smallest size! I resized to normal, held for about a second and then went small again!
I had trouble with my mouse earlier. I am going to change back to my original mouse to see if that helps.

Illustrator cs6 Can't open the illustration. Could not complete the requested operation.
Hi guys
I'm struggling with my Illustrator CS6. I hope you will help me.
When I try to open my project it says "Can't open the illustration. Could not complete the requested operation." After clicking ok my project is loaded WITHOUT one layer. I sacrificed a lot of time doing it and i don't want to start it over again. None of the ways to open it as older version of program work. I know that it can be recovered, because when I open the same project in After Effects all layers are loaded properly. If somebody know how to solve this problem please let me know asap.Thanks, Monica, Ryan, and Mike. It helps to know that this is the best I'm likely to get, so I don't waste more time looking for a better solution.
I was able to place the file, then simply redraw or retype the broken parts on top of the placed art. Often, I could click into the placed art and copy contents from it. For type, though, I had to retype whatever got broken.
Since I posted my 1st comment here on Dec. 5, it happened to me again. Again, I had to reconstruct parts of it, the same way.

From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:

I have a first generation iPad and got my husband the iPad 2 for xmas. is there a way to transfer his tiny tower game from my iPad to his without using the same iTunes account?
Apps are only tied to one account... You can set up two iTunes accounts on your computer, however, and let his iPad sync to his account. If he has never backed up his apps to a computer, however, he will have to redownload all the apps. Afterwards, he can backup to iCloud instead of your computer.

Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate... (the same happens with the other iWork-Apps!)
Looking forward to hearing from somebody with a littlemore expertise than me, Chrisyou can remove preferences files by navigating to the Preferences folder for your user as follows:
0) Quit ALL iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers)
1) from the Finder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder…". This will bring up a dialog:
2) enter the path "~/Library/Preferences" (no double quotes)
3) find the files:
com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
and move these to the trash. I would NOT empty until later.
4) restart Numbers -
I upgraded to iTunes 11 and I got all of the songs on my families' other computers. We all share the same AppleID, that's why this happened in the first place; but, I do not want their songs on my computer, how can I disable this without deleting the songs forever or making a new AppleID?
I did not upgrade to the newest version of Itunes on my PC. I just now went to my Library were Music is listed. Under that is Movies, TV Shows, ItunesU, etc. When I opened my music list, each song was in numerical order. If I have the songs listed alphabetically, they are in numerical order. If I change my listing to album or whatever, the first song is listed in numerical order just as I showed in my original question. They are also numbered on my Playlists. I have my favorites in two different playlists. One of them was minus a song. I was able to see which one was missing because they were in numerical order. I know I could have just copied to correct one into the incorrect one and just skipped the duplicates, but I chose to do it this way.
So, the songs are listed numerically in my music folder under Library on my older version of Itunes. But, on my newer version, they are not listed numerically under music. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?????
Thanks so much for your help. I wish they would just leave things alone. I would gladly go back to the older version on my other computer, but????
Again thanks.

I loved the brush tool in CS6 Illustrator- by turning fidelity to the lowest setting, and smoothness down to zero, pumping up pressure sensitivity, it accurately reproduced the fine shapes of a drawn stroke. I'm an illustrator, so I don't want artificially smoothed curves, I want the line I drew.
This works really well with my Wacom Cintiq tablet... but now CC has removed this level of customisation for the brush tool. WHY? The program is called Illustrator, and as an illustrator, I can tell you having an accurate and finely adjustable brush engine to illustrate with is very important to me and to lots of other people who can draw, and draw for a living.
Now you get this dumbed down control panel when you double click on the brush tool icon- just one slider, with only 4 steps from 'accurate' (not very) to 'smooth' (almost indistiguishable from 'accurate')... it is like I have contracted a nerve disease - I draw a line, and it forms into something quite different to the path my pen took. WHY? Can I get rid of this rubbish engine? Trying the blob brush - what is the point of this brush? It is just like the old brush, except for a cursor that shows the largest size for pressure sensitivity... and it has the same crude 4 step smooth/accurate adjuster, that doesn't change the line much at all. I have the latest driver in my Cintiq, so I don't think that is the issue, and CS6 works better than CC.
I am very disappointed, Adobe. Do I have to go back to CS6 for all my Illustration work? Please improve the CC brush tool controls.
I am still reeling from Adobe's quiet removal of a whole tool: Inverse Kinematics/Bone tool from Flash CC JUST when I was finally using it to animate, but that's another story.
Honestly, having use them for a while, Photoshop,
Illlustrator, InDesign and Flash CC are, as far as I can tell, no step up at all from CS6, except that you have to pay for them forever.More on this, now becoming known as the CC pencil tool fiasco, on these fora:
Re: PLEASE PLEASE adobe. The new pencil tool has become unusuble to me
Re: Changing line fidelity with CS6 Brush Tool
Re: All pressure sensitive brush presets gone!
If you are affected by the lower accuracy controls for CC's brush or pencil tools, use this Bug report/Feature request form to let the folks at Adobe know- they are actually hopefully going to fix this.......
thanks to Daniel for setting this up:
hey all, if you are going to file a bug report (as per Neeraj's suggestion), i've made up a draft to make the process easier. feel free to adjust it as much as you want, obviously; trying to equip us busy folk.
Obviously customer service & product development are two different departments, so if you're bummin out on the new functionality, submit a bug report!

******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
I was told to by Neeraj N(staff) to report this issue based on this link : (http://forums.adobe.com/message/6065706).
The Pencil / Brush tools have lost essential functionality with the addition of the new accurate / smooth adjustment preset. Users are no longer able to specify high-accuracy pen mapping, as the finest accuracy setting is now set to 2.5px (legacy versions allowed accuracy to .5px).
I would think adding additional slider nodes to allow more accurate mapping (while still using the accurate / smooth preset) allow for a minimal change in programming with a maximum return for power users.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. open illustrator
2. use either pencil or brush tool.
3. draw erratic and high detail shapes
Results: shapes are smoothed to 2.5px smoothness, even when the accurate / smooth adjustment preset is set to full accuracy.
Expected results: shapes have minimal / no smoothing to maintain the integrity of the artwork.
Thank you for your consideration. -

into a released patch, and you applied that patch to your system, the hotfix would see that its files are older than the latest files on the system and would give you this message. Because the hotfix is not for general distribution, there is rarely documentation
saying that it has been superceded.
Generally there is a file list with a hotfix/patch that gives you the version number of the affected files. You can go through those files to see that you have the latest files. The problem is finding the actual patch that updated those files.
Without going through lots of patches, it is hard to find which patch made the hotfix obsolete.

Dear all, I have a MacBook Pro bought in April 2011. Last April, it got stuck while the wheel was spinning and I had to force it shut. That cost me my hard drive. Now, it's stuck again. I tried esc, cmd+tab, moving the trackpad on the apple, but no. HELP!
Dear John,
thank you for your prompt reply. After I sent the email, I left the wheel spinning to see if it would eventually stop. It didn't, but after a while the screen turned blue, so I decided to switch everything off with a forced shut-down. I could not restart with the OS DVDs because I am currently away from home, but fortunately everything was more or less fine after restarting. It then got stuck again, I forced it shut again, restarted again, and now it seem to work but I won't overdo it and will switch off smoothly after writing this (unless it gets stuck again). Last April I have replaced the HD, so it's now just under 6 months old. And, of course, since the crash occurred when I was abroad and had backed up just before I left, I have lost only a few days' work. Still, and I know this will make me hugely unpopular here, with my 5 previous laptops running on MS Windows I never had a problem. Which does not mean I loved the OS, or I would not have switched to Mac.
Anyway, and this is the main reason for this message, thank you very much again for your speedy intervention.

I'm trying to update my daughter's Ipad2 to the new IOS 8 and it's got stuck on the connect to ITunes display. We don't have a computer to connect it to and it's never been connected to one. How do I get past this?
You can try a soft-reset of pressing and holding both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds so that it reboots, but you are likely to get the same screen. If it does then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes so that it can be reset back to factory defaults - do you have a friend with a computer with iTunes installed on it, or is there an Apple store nearby that you could try going to (if there is then preferably make a Genius Bar appointment at it, or don't go at a busy time) ?
Has she been backing up to the cloud ? If she has then she should be able to restore to that. If not then what she can redownload for free from the stores will show in the Purchased tabs in the store apps. -
My lovely old macbook running Snow Leopard got fried by the cat. My new iPhone 6 plus still wants to wifi sync with this dead macbook and how do i tell it that i've now got a new macbook running Yosemite? It's greyed out on the phone sync page and although i've authorised this new computer I don't know what else to do. I don't have a back up from the previous computer - the phone was restored in December when I upgraded.
Have you tried getting your old computer repaired, or did your Snow Leopard completely fry it? See what I did there.
If you can, try and scavenge the old hard drive and try and boot from it with Boot Camp (you will need something so you can connect the hard drive to your computer with a USB). A quick Google search will tell you how to do that.
That way if you can get on to it, you can tell your iPhone not to sync with your old computer (which you would be running on your new computer) and instead tell it to sync with your new computer.
I hope this isn't too confusing for you (no offence - I mean my writing, not your knowledge).
Thanks, Charlie
PS. How exactly did your cat fry your old Mac?
