Problems with gradient tool bar not remaining on object applied in illustrator cc

Hello,
when applying a gradient to a rectangle i will get the gradient tool, click on the left half of the object i want it applied to and while holding down drag a line to thew right hand side of the object. the problem the arises when i release the mouse as the gradient bar that has been shown while holding down then disappears. this applies the gradient but the issue is that all gradient editing has to be done on the gradient window as a posed to live on the object slowing the work flow.
I am not sure what I'm doing wrong but help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Joseph

Just for the sake of learning how to use the tool i start with drawing a rectangle then click and drag the gradient tool across the box. i see the gradient line appear but when i release the mouse the gradient line disappears
i end up witha box with a gradient but all my editing has to be done in the gradient box as shown in this screen shot:

  • Problem with Gradient Tool

    I contacted Adobe because I began having difficulty using
    the Gradient Tool in Photoshop CC 2014 which had previously worked properly.  As I explained to technical support when I
    tried to generate a gradient a progress bar would appear, and at first would
    begin to fill rather quickly, but at 75% of completion it would slow to a
    crawl.  Apparently, eventually it would
    complete, as a gradient did appear in my image, but the completion time was probably
    15 or 20 minutes.
    Adobe technical support first had me restart Photoshop and
    not load my plug-ins which they thought were perhaps conflicting with the
    gradient filter.  I followed this
    direction but, after doing so, the problem persisted.
    Then they asked that I restart Photoshop and delete my Preferences.  I was hesitant lose my preferences and asked
    if I could copy and rename the file containing my preferences before deleting
    it.  They directed me to its location,
    but I couldn’t find the file where it should have been located.  So I elected not to follow their suggestion
    of deleting my preferences to see if this would resolve the issue with the
    Gradient tool.

    Which operating system are you using?
    On windows you need to enable Show hidden files and folders in the Tools>Folder Options to see the photoshop cc 2014 preferences folder
    On mac os press the Option key in the Finder Go menu and click on Library to see the user Library
    How big is your image in terms of pixel dimensions?

  • Problems with Config Tool; ADS not running

    Hello everyone,
    I'm trying to create an Interactive Form, but I get the following error
    com.sap.tc.webdynpro.pdfobject.core.PDFObjectRuntimeException: Service call exception; nested exception is:

    I assume that Adobe Document Services is not running. I typed http://localhost:50000/AdobeDocumentServices/config in my browser. The result was an Error 404, too.
    In a documentation sheet about administration of ADS, I found that service IIOP in the config tool should be set to startup mode "always".
    When I tried to apply the changes in the config tool, it terminated with a critical error. Logfile says the following:

  • Newbie problem with pen tool: shape not evident on any layer

    I am trying to learn the pen tool. I made a line with the pen tool but now I can't find out which layer it is on, and I can't stroke it as I wanted. All of my layers are turned off and the shape still appears. However on searching through the layers there is no vector layer which contains my line. Also, I can't stroke the line as the stroke and fill options are greyed out on my paths panel. I have attached a screen dump to hopefully explain what I mean. I am using CS2 on Windows 7.

    Okay thanks and as you can see from the screen dump, I have got the paths window up. So I can see the workpath. But I can't stroke it, the stroke option is greyed out. Also how can I get the path onto a shapes layer? Basically I want to stroke the path so I can show the shape of a roadway on a map. Maybe I am using the wrong method, maybe there is a better way to do this?

  • Having problems with gradient fill.

    Having problems with gradient fill. Not sure how to select the gradient circles between outer circles consistently especially when there are more than 3 colors.

    Hi,
    It should be somewhat easier to try that out in landscape orientation. Does that help?
    thanks,

  • I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
    Get what denoted in what properties link.
    You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
    and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
    I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

  • Mozila 5 is not compatible with google tool bar?!?! a Disaster :S please helop?

    The mozila 5 is not compatible with google tool bar !?!?! This is a disaster? Please are y'all aware of this problem ? How could I fix it :S:S

    Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
    (1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
    (2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
    This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
    Any luck?

  • Firefox is not presently compatible with Google Tool Bar. When do you think this may be corrected. I use Google a lot.

    Recently I updated my Firefox to 5.0. I did not know until after the loading that it is not compatible with Google Tool Bar. I use Google for many things. When might we expect that to be corrected, if at all?

    Where did you read that Google was going to update the Google Toolbar for Firefox? <br />
    http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html - that is the latest information I have seen.
    Plus, recent changes at Google with them renaming their '''"accounts"''' domain will break all exiting Google Toolbar programs in existence. <br />

  • I am having a strange problem with the awesome bar

    The awesome bar/location bar is no longer as awesome as it used to be. When I start typing in an address it seems like it no longer checks through my history and gives a list of possible matches but just gives the stem of an address. For example, if I type in 'goo' it will complete this to 'google.com' if I then append this with an '/a' it will complete this to 'google.com/analytics' but that's as good as it gets, as I say, no list from the history or bookmarks.
    I've checked the options and also about:config and all the settings are as they should be, as far as I can tell (and I certainly hadn't changed any of them when it started misbehaving). I've also disabled all extensions and plug-ins.
    It's driving my slightly bonkers because I quite often use sites with long addresses and can't remember each of the components of each address. I'd switch to using Chrome but I also use Firebug a fair bit so don't really want to do this.

    Hi cowtan, <br/>Sorry you are having problems with the awesome bar.
    I imagine the new behaviour may be reversed by changing some pref but I have not looked that up.
    Regardless of the new behaviour you seem to have some fault as my awesomebar still gives bookmarked items.
    As a troubleshooting step try adding an asterisk in the awesomebar (as first character or anywhere) that should then filter the results in the dropdown list to bookmarked only items, does that work ?
    * see [[Search your bookmarks, history and tabs with the Awesome Bar#w_changing-results-on-the-fly]]_changing-results-on-the-fly
    You possibly have some extension interfering with the awesome bar, try Firefox in safe mode (but do NOT* at this stage try the Reset Firefox option)
    <nowiki>*</nowiki>'''edit''' - personal opinion, if a user; such as you; is knowledgeable enough to use ''about.config'' the easy solution of ''FirefoxReset ''is probably not the best route, as it can have unwanted side effects that are avoidable.
    * [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    Do your bookmarked items appear in safe mode ?
    <u>Try a new Profile.</u><br/>The best method for troubleshooting this will be to set up a new Firefox profile, you can then: experiment, troubleshoot, alter settings or extensions installed in that profile without changing and potentially damaging your current profile.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
    I suggest to prevent unexpected problems you
    * use a sensible name such as test 2012 for the profile name
    * ensure an empty folder is used & do not then rename or delete the new profile (instead add or delete shortcuts to it)
    * also see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox

  • ITS 6.20 SP18 Problem with the top bar menus

    Hello Henning,
    we're using ITS 6.20 SP18 and experience a problem with the top bar menus in the SAPGUI for HTML (Enjoy Design) in both MSIE 6 and Moz Firefox 1.0.4.
    When clicking the dropdown menus in the top bar the menu simply won't open. This only occurs in all of our homegrown (Z*) services when dropping into SAPGUI for HTML (ITS is in mixed mode). However - When running service WEBGUI seperately (via ...scripts/wgate/WEBGUI/! ) the menus work funnily enough.
    This worked fine prior to the upgrade. Is there a new service parameter that I need to set? Have you got any more documentation? I checked out any related SAPNet notes on the SP18 documentation sheet, but couldn't find anything related.
    Kind regards,
    Michael

  • Problem with gradients

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with gradients in a Captivate 2
    project. I have a lot of images in a presentation that use
    gradients. Once the movie is published, the gradients are looking
    very banded. It almost looks like the images are being converted to
    gif's. I have also noticed this with photos that have a lot of
    colors in them. I set the jpg quality to 100%, but that didn't seem
    to have any effect.
    Is there a settings I am missing? Any help with this would be
    greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    - Jason

    Hi Jason
    Normally, we suggest that folks remove gradients from window
    title bars. However, assuming you know this and it's your
    application that is displaying the gradient (for example, an image
    inside Microsoft Paint) you might try looking in the following
    places and tweaking as necessary:
    * Slide Properties - Slide Tab - Quality drop-down.
    * Project > Preferences... > Preferences tab > JPEG
    image quality
    * If this is a full motion video clip where you see a
    camcorder icon on the Film Strip - Options > Recording
    Options... > Full Motion Recording tab > Video color mode
    Cheers... Rick

  • Problems with Pro Tools 8, is it the software?

    Hello, I know this is "Apple Discussions", but since I'm using Pro tools 8 with the new macbook pro, I might get some answers here. I recently bought pro tools 8, I already have logic though, but wanted to be in the pro tools world too so, the thing is that every time I use Pro Tools 8 with the digi 003, the session Im working on will stop with just a few plugins, and man this happens a lot, on the other hand is that nothing happens when I use the digi 003 with Logic 8, I mean, I could have like 20 plugins and It would not stop at all. Can anyone identify with this problem with pro tools 8, Because people tell me that on pro tools 7.4 that doesnt happen at all.
    Thank you...

    PT8 is much better with plug ins than PT7x, but is not in the league of Logic. I am a huge PT fan and use both Logic and PT8, and as much as I love the look and superior interface of PT8, Logic is like an ugly old car that goes 200 MPH. It's a performance beast. I've had ridiculous amounts of plug ins in Logic with not a whimper from the program.
    PT8 is much more sensitive to things like whether you are using Firewire drives to record to (as opposed to internal SATAs on a Mac Pro), and many 3rd party plugs cause PT much grief. For high track counts and lots of plug ins, Logic is still King Kong.

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.
