Pen Tool Icons Missing in CC 2014 Windows 7

I have just noticed that I'm not seeing the Join/Add to Existing Path icon is missing in CC 2014. The little chain link icon second left in the illustration below. As far as I can tell, all the other icons are OK. I tried my Pre-2014 installation and that has the link icon. The link still works — you can join to the end of an old path, but it is frankly a PITA wondering if you are in the right place, or about to start a new path.
Just me, or known issue?

Hi Trevor,
I do see the icon Join/Add to Existing Path on a windows 7 x64 machine with photoshop cc 2014.2.2

Pen tool icon not working

When the pen tool icon is pressed a pencil with a circle (with a line through it) appears. All the layers are unlocked. I am attempting to create a "cut through" for a design. I would normally press the pen icon, the pen would appear and I would click along the desired shape and all the points would connect. None of this is happening. Any ideas?

Denise,
You may try to start from the top of this:
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); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
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 Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift 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.

List of solutions for airplay icon missing in iTunes 11 (windows)

It seems like there are a lot of problems out there with airplay and iTunes 11. I think it would be great if Apple or someone were to make some sort of diagnostic tool for airplay.
I am starting this thread in an attempt to collect some of the various solutions to the airplay problems. Hopefully, other members of the community will add other solutions that they are aware of.
Problem: Can't find the airplay icon in iTunes 11 for windows
1) make sure you are looking in the right place. The icon will appear to the right of the volume slider in the normal iTunes view. If iTunes can't find any airplay devices, this icon will not be present and the area will just be blank.
2) For me (iTunes 11.0.5.5), I did some system work in Windows 8 64-bit, and installed AdAware, and uninstalled it. I think this reset my firewall settings. The airplay icon was missing from iTunes but I was able to do airplay from my iPad over the network. I searched the start menu for "firewall", started "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security", and in the Inbound Rules list I saw that I had 5 entries that started with "Airport". 2 of them were disabled. I double clicked on each disabled rule, and changed the action from "Block the connection" to "Allow the connection". After hitting ok and doing this for both blocked rules, I restarted iTunes and the airplay icon appeared and everything works fine.
3) A popular solution which has worked for me in the past has been to switch the program to miniplayer view. There you will hopefully see an airplay icon. Some people say you should select each of the entries in the airplay list here in order to get them to "stick." When you switch back to normal view, the airplay icon should remain visible.
4) I have seen someone update their dd wrt (open source based) router firmware and had the problem go away.
5) Some have had luck unplugging their airplay device (ie: receiver) for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
Please add to this list if you can!

Windows 7 64bit
iTunes 11.1.2.32
Apple TV (New Shape) / Airport Express 3rd Gen.
I've had the issue of no Airplay button for the past few weeks. Strangely, it appeared randomly, but never stuck around for too long before disappearing. However, from reading this thread i uninstalled my wireless driver, and reinstalled from a generic windows search, and also installed Apple's Bonjour service (did this one after the other) and restarted my machine. All seems fine now, and the airplay button is there.
Thank you all so much for your inputs in helping get a resolution. I hope this works for everyone else with the issue.

Text Edit Tool icon missing in Acrobat Standard X

Hi,
In Acrobat 8 Standard, when I click "Text Edit Tool" icon, I can start insert, delete or replce text comments without re-click any "insert", "delete" or "replace" icon in the Text Edit Tool until I press"Esc" key.
I just install Acrobat Standard X these days, It moved the commenting annotation to the right panel with those fancy icons. Looks great! However, I have to click on the "Insert", "delete" or "replace" icon on every action. I am wondering if Acrobat remove the great feature or I am missing something?
p.s. Just found ouy it is called "Text Correction Markup" in Acrobat Reader XI. I can't image paid Acroabat Standard X has less feature than Acrobat Reader XI. Hopefully, Adobe can have a Update to add the "accidentally removed" feature back to Standard X.
Thanks

Is there no response from Adobe? It's a serious issue that this useful tool was removed (or hidden?) in Adobe X.
I use Acrobat for collaboration for much of my work, and it's a significant burden to have to click on each tool individually.

Pen tool, handles missing?

I was wondering why some points made with the pen tool have handles (to adjust curves) and other points don't have handles. I need to curve a couple points but they can't be adjusted, just moved, anybody know why?

The points with handles are know as Smooth points and without handles Corner points. To add handles to a Corner point click and drag on the point using the Convert Anchor Point Tool. To remove handles from Smooth point click once on the point.
The Convert Anchor Point Tool can be found grouped with the Pen Tool.

Diagonal line through the pen tool icon and blocking it's use.

I am trying to change a map.ai file. When I click on the pen tool and move the cursor to the map it shows the pencil tool with a diagonal line through it prohibiting me from using it. How do I get rid of the diagonal line and use the pen tool? In addition, at the top of screen underneath file, edit, etc. it says "No Selection" on the left side. This must relate to the problem as I can use the pen tool with a new *.ai file.
Thank you for your help.

Scott Falkner suggested I unlocked all 13 layers. It still did not work. Now what?
Thanks,
Paul

HP Printer Diagnostic Tools icon missing

The icon for the HP Printer Diagnostic Tools has disappeared in Windows 7 64-bit. Does anyone have it that they could send it to me or know where it is located on my computer?

Hey Terry,
Thanks for the update. This icon comes installed with the printer software. One could try doing a full uninstall, cleaning out the printer software completely and reinstall with the latest drivers from the HP website. However, this icon usually opens either to the downloads page for these tools and in other cases may already have them downloaded for you, but the online website can provide these same tools.
Best of luck,
Jason

Icons missing on Zenworks applications window.

I have a few users that when they login their window is blank... I can either click on view then refresh or the F5 key in the window and the icons show up instantly.
I am on 11.2.4..

Another possibility is a corrupt ZENworks cache.
Try doing a "zac cc" from the command prompt, then refreshing the agent a couple times.
Another possibility is that the workstation has lost contact with the zone - if clearing the cache doesn't work, try a "zac unr" to un-register, then a "zac reg http://yourserver" to re-register.

Indesign CS5 -- Pen tool disappeared

The pen tool is missing out of my toolbox in InDesign CS5, Windows platform. Any idea how I can get it back? I recreated the preferences when I started the program this morning, but that did not help.

MarianSue wrote:
Here it is...finally. Looks like there's a blank space where the pen tool should be.
It certainly does. I've never seen that happen before, so I guess you should fell special.
Does changing to a different workspace help?
If not, I think maybe you should reinstall.

Can I make the tool icons any larger in PS CC 2014?

Can I make the tool icons any larger in PS CC 2014? The icons are tiny.
Thanks!

Yes indeed, and Photoshop CC 2014 is the only version with that option.
In Photoshop: Edit > Preferences > Experimental Features > check "Scale UI 200%", click OK, Restart Photoshop. (Windows only).
