MY TOOLS ARE GONE?

I opened mty illustrator CS5 this morning and all of my tools are gone and under window there is no option to bring them back?  Anyone had this happen to them and if so how do I fix it?

What happens to the cursor when you hit any of these keys T V M (shortcuts for text tool, move tool, shape tool)
The cursor changes appearance:
Window Workspace>> Essentials
Cursor does not change appearance
Run disk utility and fix permissions
Before you reinstall, delete your preferences as per the previous posts

  • I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?

    I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?
    I went into edit preference and all the start up scrips are selected so what else is there?

    When you installed CS5, you have a chance to register it. If you do, your serial number is on file under your Adobe (My Products). If you did not, you have no serial number on file and even worse, no proof you own it.
    You do not have your serial number copied down anywhere? Hard to believe you tossed the dvd box and all the documents away.
    So Help > Register might give you a chance to do this without you knowing the number.

  • Upgraded to Adobe Reader XI - Docusign and Export PDF tools are missing.  How do I get them back?  Docusign through my company is current, and Export PDF through my personal account is current as well.

    As usual, I blindly updated my PDF and now all of my tools are gone...  I used to have a tools menu on the right side where my document signing and export commands were available, and I cannot figure out how to get them back.

    Gee, Pat, this is a  real big help.
    Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
    Maybe someone else has an idea.

    The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
    Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

  • I was messing with the computer, not sure what i hit but now all my toolbars at the top of the screen are gone? (file, edit, history, tools and my forward and back button). Please help me get these settings back to the way they were?

    My file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, and help buttons at the top of the screen are gone, along with my forward and back button.

    For details of how to restore it, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/menu+bar+is+missing
    Once the menu bar is restored, you can use the Toolbars entry in the View menu to restore other toolbars such as the navigation toolbar.

    Press the H key to hide/show the anchor points. The brush tool needs to be active when you do this.

  • Offline/Local Activation option/tool for when the cloud servers are gone ?

    I hope that someone in HP will release a tool to allow to all the phones / tablets to activate locally, to be used once the online services are gone.
    Providing a copy of the online Help that's accessible from phone/tablet would also be very appreciated.
    You took our money, and I think we are entitled to be able to use the hardware we bought until it works.
    I would like to see an official answer, and I think that all the users of webosnations share the same interest.

    In relation to my first post,
    even if I was contacted privately from an executive support representative, I have still to get an official answer to what I originally asked/wrote.
    Given that the 15th of January is closer now ( close to two months were lost, up to now ), I would appreciate the option of having a constructive dialogue with an hp representative that is actually knowing what webos and the online servers are.
    That you cannot find someone on the phone at HP support who is knowledgeable about webOS, is not surprising.  HP ceased active support for webOS (other than keeping Cloud Services and support downloads alive) in 2011.
    You have options from the webOS developer and user community.  There is a wealth of information and assistance available from http://www.webosnation.com and http://www.webos-internals.org including options to backup your device without the webOS servers after January 15.
    No one feels your pain and anxiety any more than we (WyreNut and I) do.  HP made a decision to shut down the servers because the active user base does not justify the cost.  I don't personally understand what those costs are, but I do believe what I have been told about it, and honestly, your energies are better spent using the remaining time to plan going forward without beating a dead horse (webOS Cloud Services).

    Hello jo90733,
    I would recommend reinstalling Mountain Lion to replace the missing/damaged components of these applications. While the process shouldn't affect any data (images, music, etc) you have on the system, it's always a good idea to have a backup in place prior to reinstalling.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Back up your Mac

    OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10763
    Important: You need to be connected to the Internet to reinstall OS X.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
    If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu (in the top-right corner of the screen).
    Select Reinstall OS X, and then click Continue.
    Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select a disk, select your current OS X disk (in most cases, it is the only one available).
    To start the installation, click Install.
    Cheers,

  • I just updated the new iTunes and now all my playlists are gone!! What the heck?!

    All my playlist are gone from itunes with the new update. If I click on "sync" it asks me to erase all my music and videos... Is there a way to avoid doing this? Thanks.

    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!
    In the unlikely event that your media has been wiped from your computer see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • All of my add-ons are gone!

    Recently I had to do a system restore to get rid of a virus on my laptop. It worked, but now all of my add-ons are gone. (These were add-ons I've had for a long time, well before the time I restored my system to.) The one I'm most concerned about is Read It Later, since it had several months worth of links.
    Just today I downloaded Firefox 3.6.13, in hopes a new version of Firefox would fix this problem. It didn't. When I go to c:\documents and settings\<your name>\application data\mozilla\firefox\profiles\73v5v5m4.default\extensions I can see my add-ons with read it later listed as isreaditlater@ideashower(2).com, but they don't show up when I look under tools\add-ons. I'm using Windows XP and the latest version of Flash, and AVG 2011 for my anti-virus.
    At the very least, what can I do to get RIL back, ideally with all of my old links? If I have to re-download RIL, is there some way to save all of my old links?
    Please help!

    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button (in Firefox 4: right-click the extension -> "Find Updates") to do a compatibility check.

  • When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session.

    When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session. However, after several hours and opening and closings of Firefox, it will open tabs from the old session, for no apparent reason.

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":

  • Extract tool is gone - what's the best tool to use now ?

    Hello everyone,
    for those who extract subjects from backgrounds on a regular basis, what tool do you now using, seeing the Extract tool is gone in CS4 ?
    Thanks you for tips,
    Dave.

    Quick Select tool works well for many cases. Secret is to use small brush size and mark both the selected areas (with the + tool) and the non-selected areas (with the - tool).
    If you can't find something that satisfies you, you can install Extract from the CS4 Extras. This will be on your PS install disk or in the Extras you downloaded if you purchased and downloaded online.
    If you still can't find it, Russell Brown has the extra files on his site. There are also good tutorials for just about any extract/masking/knockout method you can think of.
    http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html#CS4Tips
    Here is a link to John Nack's blog that also talks about the "missing" features and how to find most of them if you really miss them.

  • All Addons are gone. How do I get them back?

    For some reason all of my addons and bookmarks are gone. I got the bookmarks back but I can't figure out how to get the addons back. After this happened, I got a window saying it needed to be updated. I was stupid and clicked update. Now I am Firefox 3.6.3 before this update, I was at 3.5.9. I tried to uninstall the update and I can't figure out how to do that. :(

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
