Proportional Scaling with bounding box does not work

Problem:
When I attempt to proportionately scale  objects with the bounding box, by selecting a corner / handle and  holding Shift as I drag, it doesn't work.
I'm not doing it wrong  or in the wrong order of selection, etc., I've done it this way for  years.
Also, Illustrator is persnickity. It HAS  occasionally worked, but more often does not.
Restarting  Illustrator, my computer, closing Entourage, nothing works.
I read this thread and none of the suggestions work.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1258725#1258725
Just for reference, these are the instructions from Illustrator manual that I am having issues with.
Scale objects with the bounding box
Select one or more objects.
Select the Selection tool or the Free  Transform tool .
Drag a bounding box handle until the object  is the desired size.Objects scale relative to the opposite  handle of the bounding box.
Do any of the following to control the   scaling behavior:
To maintain the object’s proportions, hold down Shift as you drag.
To scale relative to the object’s center point, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag.

I am afraid there is not much to do, apart from disabling whatever causes the trouble. There have been quite a few threads about this recently.

  • Hyperlink with tracking applied does not work in PDF

    We use lots of web addresses in our advertising and generally the web addresses automatically convert to hyperlinks when we distill the files and make PDFs. Recently we've had two instances where someone applied tracking or justification to the line of text containing the url to make it spread across the page. When we make our PDF the url is not clickable. Is there anyway around this? We tried actually creating a hyperlink manually in InDesign by using the Hyperlinks panel and entering the address, but that didn't work either.

    Peter,
    We'll look into that. We already do two separate PDFs for print and web, but
    we are distilling both right now. Wouldn't be too much of a problem to
    change to exporting the web version I don't think.
    I did a test, just curious, is there a way to keep it from putting a black
    box around the link on the PDF?
    Thanks for your help! We appreciate it!

    Subject: Hyperlink with tracking applied does not work in PDF
    Distilled PDF uses Postscript which does not support hyperlinks and
    interactivity. To make your hyperlinks in ID you'll need to export and check
    the Include Hyperlinks and Include Interactiviity boxes.
    Your printer doesn't need hyperlinks because they don't work on a printed
    page. The requirements for print and interactive PDF are quite different, and
    you may find you need to make two versions.

  • What if sync with new computer does not work. logical connection to old with WindowsXP, 32 bit version of iTunes. New is Windows7 with 64bit version

    What if sync with new computer does not work?
    logical connection to old with WindowsXP, 32 bit version of iTunes.
    New is Windows7 with 64bit version

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • My camera works with the photobooth and with skype but does not work with online applications such as "lolcam from facebook" or "faceonthehole" application. Please help

    My camera works with the photobooth and with skype but does not work with other applications like the "lolcam" from facebook or the " faceonthe hole" application. Can anyone help?

    There was a issue with school computers being used to spy on kids in their bedrooms, Mac's were involved.
    So Apple most likely tightened the API's to only select, trustworthy companies as not to abuse the web cam access priviledge.
    If you want to use a web cam with these other programs and services, you'll likely have to buy a third party USB one, so you can manually disconnect it.
    There isn't a way to physcially disconnect the built in web cam on Mac's without busting open the machine.

    This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

  • Select list with bind variable does not work

    Hi,
    What can be wrong with a 'select list' with the a simple select
    select omschrijving o, id i
    from basiscodes b
    where domein = 'OPTIES'
    and b.id in
    (select eo.basiscode_id from evenementen_opties eo
    where eo.event_id = :P16_ID)
    The :P16_ID has a value and should give result
    But it does not work at all with 'select list'
    Using the POPUP LOV (display discription, return key value) works nice
    The select retuns less then 10 records

    Hi Flavio,
    As I explained, the P16_ID is an item of the master page (page 16)
    In Page 18 where I want to reuse that value, the item is not there, but I use it to assign
    P18_EVENT_ID with the value in P16_ID and that works fine.
    In an after submit process, I do this :
    declare
    function get_pk return varchar2
    is
    begin
    for c1 in (select EVENEMENT_INSCHRIJVING_SEQ.nextval next_val
    from dual)
    loop
    return c1.next_val;
    end loop;
    end;
    begin
    :P18_ID := get_pk;
    :P18_EVENT_ID := :P16_ID;
    :P18_CREATIE_DT := TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS');
    :P18_CREATIE_USER := APEX_APPLICATION.G_USER;
    end;
    The value P16_ID is there before I open page 18
    I made a display item that displays the value P16_ID
    If I change the LOV select in :
    select b.omschrijving o, b.id i
    from basiscodes b
    , evenementen_opties eo
    where b.domein = 'OPTIES'
    and b.id = eo.basiscode_id
    and eo.event_id = 16
    then it returns the value I want : 1 record
    You see, I'm a really new one in apex.
    Forms 6i was easier for me...

  • Loging into game center with apple ID does not work. What do i need to do?

    My apple ID does not work for signing into game center.

    Apple TV doesn't come with HDMI cable, so you would have had to buy the cable separately unless the Apple TV was bought used. Did you purchase the device from Apple or an authorized reseller?
    Are you sure you're trying the right input?
    The other is a smaller one that is for micro USB (which is used for support purposes only)

  • The Software that came with my book does not work. CISCO CCENT / CCNA ICND1 by wendell odom

    Hello this is my first post on cisco support and hope I can get some help. I recently purchased the book CISCO CCENT / CCNA ICND1 by wendell odom and when I used the CD to install the Pearson Practice exams, it does not work. I tried everything! It even asks for a activation code, which on the CD It says "Refer to the Activation Code Included in the DVD Sleeve when Registering Pearson IT Certification Practice Test Software"I don't see anything related to a Activation Code anywhere on the CD OR on the sleeve! So now I can't use that.
               The Network simulator Wendell odom uses in his videos is already outdated it seems and I can't get mine to work. Why? Because I bought this book in hopes of this being a beginner book and praying the person won't skip information to actually set up the book. So now the videos are useless because I can't connect because I have no idea how...
              The Network Simulator lite, wow 3/3 When giving me software to use. The Prompt command does not work, Only the enter key will work but when I try to put in a password I can't hit anything else but enter.
                 I hope I can get help from a more official member as to seeing how I bought this book and I can read but whats really the point if I don't have the hands on training?

    Keunepete,
    When I ordered my books for the ICND1 and ICND2, they came with a CD in the back pocket (sleeve) of the book. Along with the CD was a thick piece of paper that had the activation code on it. It was a white, square piece of paper with big black print on it. Did you buy your book used? Was the CD sealed in the back pocket?

  • I was billed for a renewal with eHarmony that does not work. Eharmony said itunes claims the charge didnt go through but I have already been billed. How do I get my money back or get my subscription working??

    I was billed for a renewal with eHarmony via iTunes that does not work. Eharmony said itunes claims the charge didnt go through but I have already been billed it is on my bank statement. How do I get my money back or get my subscription working?? I have all transaction ID's and invoice numbers. Please help this has been very frustrating, thanks.

    Yes, I reported the problem using that exact sequence immediately after discovering the problem with the app.  When I submitted my complaint and request, Apple redirected me the website of the app manufacturer where I submitted the same complaint/request for refund.  I have not heard back from either, and was still charged, so I can only assume that is not the correct way to "Report a Problem" even though Apple would have you believe otherwise.

  • TS2634 After I updated my iPod touch with iOS6, it does not work with my Logitech docking station. Is this a problem with iOS6?

    Does updating the 4th generation iPod touch with iOS6 keep it from working with a Logitech docking station/boombox? Nothing is wrong with the boombox.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If it still does not work that means that the update broke compatibility. That happens sometimes. You will have to wait for an update to either iPod's iOS or the dock's firmware.

  • Currency conversion with Group consolidation does not work

    Currency Conversion WITHOUT group consolidation works (script logic reads CURRENCY = %GROUPS_SET%) which puts out values in USD. The values were translated correctly as per the exchange rates.
    Now, since we need consolidation, I ran currency consolidation WITH group consolidation (I changed the script logic to read GROUP = %GROUPS_SET%). FXtrans package runs successfully with 0 records (0 submitted, 0 success, 0 fail).
    I also referred NOTE 1519146.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Tagz

    Hi,
    You can try to use %GROUPS_DIM% or the dimension name directly in the dynamic script as suggested.
    And also try after modifying your currency conversion script as GROUPS = %GROUPS_SET%. If this does not work please try
    by hardcoding GROUPS=Value in the script and let us know how it works.
    Hope this helps.
