Recieving A.I. files that have everything grouped and masked. What could cause this?

I recieve A.I. files from other art departments and some that I open will have every object grouped and masked.
I'm not able to select one thing until I select the outside box with the white selector and delete the masks.
I'm using CS4 Illustrator. Why would everything be grouped and masked several times over.
I appreciate any answers. Thanks

Why would everything be grouped and masked several times over.

  • I've been using a master password for years. Today I noticed that it had been cleared. What could cause this?

    I've been using a master password for years. I also use Sync. Today I wanted to look up one of my saved passwords. When I went to do this I noticed that Firefox was no longer set to use a master password. I'm afraid that I may have been hacked, or that something else happened (recent Firefox update?) that caused the use of the master password to be disabled.
    I have not yet checked my other Synced computers to see if their master passwords have also been turned off.
    I have re-enabled the master password feature on this computer.
    On this particular computer, I've had a long-standing issue where Firefox "Help>About Firefox" always shows that I need to "Restart to Update". This means that I cannot use "Help>About Firefox" to check for and install the latest version. I need to download Firefox manually and update by running the installer.

    Hi,
    You can try to '''Clear Now''' the '''Active Logins''' with '''Time range to clear''' set to '''Everything''' via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History]. Alternatively via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u Advanced] > '''Encryption''' > '''Security Devices''', select '''Software Security Device''' and choose '''Log Out'''. You can then restart Firefox and check.
    If the problem persists you can reset Firefox and start afresh.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    If you would like to take a listing of the add-ons, changed preferences/settings etc. to quickly replicate the previous profile, please '''Copy all to clipboard''' (on the left of the reset button), and paste it into MS Office Excel, or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc, or notepad. However, it would be a good idea to check for the existence of the issue immediately after the reset.
    For the update error, please try searching for all instances of '''updates.xml''', open the containing folder to make sure it belongs to Firefox/Mozilla (path) and delete all instances of the file along with the '''updates''' folder.

  • All my photos are importing out of order. For example, if I have images 1,2,3, and 4.., the order they show up in is 2,1,4,3. What could cause this and any ideas how I fix it?

    All my photos are importing out of order. For example, if I have images 1,2,3, and 4.., the order they show up in is 2,1,4,3. What could cause this and any ideas how I fix it?

    One thing, don;t think of them as being imported in any one particular order.
    The order of the images is completely fluid, you can change it anytime you want to suit your needs at that particular moment.
    As Léonie showed you select the order you want to see the images in by selecting the item you want to sort on in the pull-down.
    The only time fluid sort order can be a problem is when you export groups of images. If you put the images into a particular order in Aperture when you export them and view them in the Finder the order they are in may very well be different. In this case you could give names to the images that include a sequence number or index.
    Then when they are viewd in the Finder they will be in them same order they were in in Aperture.

  • My latest pano photo have missing landscape. Some of the photos are merged into one. I can provide the examples. What could cause this problem on a new 5C?

    Thanks for the input. I was finally able to find some test conditions that duplicated the problem, and it is either that or some other out-of-spec diffraction distortion.  So I sent it off for repair.

    What could cause the lock in my preferences to seemingly to click open on there own,I use my home wifi network which is private and have never given out that password either for my network or preferences password.....help,Thank you

    You're welcome.
    Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
    You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

  • I have (2) Samsung S5 phones.  One is using up data like crazy for no reason.  I have WiFi at home, so what's causing this problem?

    I have 2 Samsung S5 phones.  One has used way over the limit for no apparent reason.  I have WiFi at home.  What could be causing this problem?

    Hello KF2PX
    I'm sorry to hear your having issues with your S5. I would be happy to look into this with you. Are there different apps on both devices? Do either device auto play videos when opening apps? For example Facebook. Here's a great link to see what's using the data: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/data-utilization-faqs/

  • I keep getting strange emails dated 1970 that have no content and cannot be deleted, is this some form of virus

    Hi, i keep geeting emals from "no sender" dated 1970 that are impossible to delete, is this a form of virus and how do i resolve it?

    That has been my experience, also Demo...happens on my iPhone and iPad, but I have not paid attention to the dating.  My experience has been that almost everytime I do a large amount of deleting, maybe need to note just how many or how many are left and see if there is a correlation, I get some "empty" emails appearing that I cannot delete.  When that happens, I quit Mail, and then when I reopen Mail there is a full complement of emails present.  Emails have been pulled in from those not being displayed due to the limit on number displayed that I am using.
    My experience may not be the generic answer...it is the way this has been working for me, so whatever that is worth.
    I haven't gone through the process you describe of reset, since the quit/restart has worked.
    Obviously this is an "undcoumented feature" of Mail
    Do you know if anyone has filed a bug report with Apple on this?  Seems like an appropriate thing to do under the circumstances.

  • Firefox will not close any way I try... I have to open taskmanager and end prog... any idea how to fix this or what could cause this issue?

    I am using version 3.0.19 and have been for some time. This problem has just occured in the last couple of weeks and I can't figure it out. I have updated my addons, scanned for malware, etc etc but no luck. If I have 2 windows open at the same time it will close one but refuses to aknowledge any request to close the final window open... and yes this happens when I only have had one open. It's driving me crazy as it's soooo annoying to have to open taskmanager everytime I want to shut it down. Any help would be REALLY appreciated as I can't be the only one who has had this problem.... but please don't suggest I update to the newer version until I have this issue fixed as it will not let me simply update and I will have to overwrite my whole setup (which I'm not ready to part with yet)
    THANK YOU in advance for ANY suggestions!

  • Firefox seems to have lost all of June's history, it has today's, yesterday's and May's history; What could cause this to happen?

    I have not used a disk cleaning service or any program of the sort. The history wasn't knowingly deleted and it was present the other day.
    The history window shows information for today, yesterday, and may, but nothing more.

  • TortoiseSVN committed files that weren't changed and corrupted them

    Hi all,
    A colleague used my working copy to perform some changes. He then committed everything. Even though he did not change the classes in a subfolder, TSVN committed them as well. All the classes are now corrupt - the Class VIs do not recognize the class (attached). This is for every class in the project.
    To make sure nothing was in fact changed I used lvdiff and the TSVN log, and no differences are shown and both versions show a broken arrow (even though the previous version worked fine).
    If I try to go back to the previous revision in the working copy, it doesn't work (still a broken arrow). Only if I take a completely new folder and checkout the older revision do I get my classes back. However, the updates my colleaugue did are important.
    Does anyone have any idea what could cause this, what I can do about it and how I can prevent this happening again?
    Thanks,
    Danielle

    I restored my new Mac with the "Latest Backup" of Time Machine. I now understand that I will have to erase the whole backup harddrive in order to continue using Time Machine (I cannot get it to do incremental backups with my new computer from where I left off on the old one).
    You may be able to get the new Mac to "inherit" the old one's backups manually.  See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    But the practice of deleting originals, assuming Time Machine will keep the backups indefinitely, is a major mistake.  See  Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #20.
    Linc is correct about multiple backups -- it's always prudent.  See #27 in the FAQ link for some suggestions.

  • I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

    I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open.  I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case.  Please advise

    They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen.  I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
    I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
    doc.
    The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
    The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted.  OS is Windows 8
