Cannot move objects with Selection Tool

Having problems moving a selcected with Selection Tool: the selection does not move.
Also cannot isolate imported picture as it always seems to be selected, even when deselected: Selection Tool always activates first layer even though I'm on another layer
Any new imported burshes i make up are not saved, even though file names shows up: only managed to save one brush
I nearly awlays have to re select stroke width everytime I use selection tools or re open file.
Are the problems due to compatibility issues with Mac OS and Illustrator CS4, as this new version is know to be very buggy in the industry.

bottchichellee,
Illy is Illustrator.
I apologize for the unavailability of the site, owing to some mess by the webhost. This is an extract:
Up to Illustrator 10, almost all the preference settings were included in the AIPrefs/Adobe Illustrator Prefs file, and almost all issues with corrupted settings could be solved by deleting or moving it; in some rare cases, moving or deleting the folder holding the settings was required.
From Illustrator CS on, the preference settings have been spread over a number of files/subfolders so in many cases deleting the AIPrefs/Adobe Illustrator Prefs file is not enough: the easy solution is to move the whole folder rather than trying to figure out which file(s) may be corrupted; just deleting the folder without moving it first has proved fruitless in some cases.
Therefore, the cure all consists of the following steps:
1. Close Illustrator.
2. Make a search including hidden files and folders and including subfolders for the folder holding the preference files; the name of the folder depends on the Illustrator version, and the position of the folder depends on the OS version. There is one folder for each version and for each user so it is important to find the relevant one.
Up to version 10, the name of the folder is Adobe Illustrator [X],
From version CS on, the name of the folder is Adobe Illustrator [X] Settings.
[X] is the version number; up to 10, it is just a number, and above that the Creative Suite version number, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4, and so on, is used (the corresponding standalone versions still have simple numbers, CS is called 11, CS2 is called 12, CS3 is called 13, and CS4 is called 14, but the version numbers with CS are used in the folder name).
3. Either:
a) Create a subfolder and move all the contents into it; or
b) Move the whole folder to a place where you can find it again, such as the Desktop.
With both you may recover the contents of the folder by moving it back if the issue is not solved and get your preference settings back.
a) requires creation of the subfolder, but it makes recovery easier, especially if you create a shortcut to the preference settings folder, and you can skip the search if/when corruption occurs again.
You may delete the folder/contents subsequently.
4. If you have Windows Vista, restart Windows. If not, continue to 5 without delay.
5. Restart Illustrator, and see whether the issue is solved.
If the issue is solved, and you wish to keep as many of your preference settings as possible, you may move the folder back and repeat 3) - 5) for groups/individual files/subfolders until you have found the corrupted one(s). You may also start by only moving the AIPrefs/Adobe Illustrator Prefs file.
You may also see a terse version from ADOBE: Adobe Illustrator CS4 * About preferences.
Scripts for cleaning out everything between uninstallation and reinstallation for versions CS4 and CS3:
CS4 Clean Script, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
CS3 Clean Script
I believe it is possible to get a refund, but there are some options still.

Highlight Object Under Selection Tool not working?

Hello,
After the latest update 10.1.0.70, obejcts under the selection tool are not highlighted. Has anybody else encountered such issue? I reset InDesign to its defaults, but that didn't help. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

You've provided no information. Therefore I'm just guessing.

Can't move objects with Selection Tool

So, I just installed Illustrator CC, which I now have on a trial license. About an hour ago, illustrator suddenly started refusing to move any objects while I'm in the Selection Tool. I can move the objects only in Free Transform. I use hot keys a lot, so it's really slowing me down. I hit "V" to click on and then move an object, and then it won't move. I get the error sound, but no dialogue box pops up to explain what the error is.
Since I'm getting ready to bite the bullet and start paying a hefty monthly fee for this program when my trial runs out, this is pretty aggravating. Anyone have any ideas what might have cause this?

Charlie,
The following is a general list of things to try in case of serious strangenesses.
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
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 with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
See posts #3 to 7 in this thread about locating the folder in CC,
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1297845?tstart=0
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Can't move objects with selection tools?

As of last night, I am able to select objects in my documents but I am unable to move them using the selection tools. I'm having to just scoot things around with the arrow keys. I've already tried restoring my preferences and that hasn't helped.
I'm running OS 10.6.8 and InDesign CS6 8.0.1
Also, for what it's worth, any time I try to use the selection tools in Illustrator, Illustrator crashes but doesn't give me a crash report. This started happening at the same time.
Any ideas?

Well, it was a long shot.
You mentioned replacing the prefs. For ID that's a bit more complicated than some of the other Adobe apps, so I like to verify that you did the whole job. You'll find instructions for doing it manually or using a keybaord shortcut on launch here: Replace Your Preferences
I'm concerned, though that Illustrator also seems to be acting up. Maybe you should replace the mouse driver.

Highlight Object Under Selection Tool

In InDesign CC 2014.2, objects are highlighting even though I have this option unchecked.
I trashed preferences but it keeps doing it... any ideas?
Thanks!

Try View > Show bounding box

When I highlight objects, I'm able to move them with the arrow key but I can't drag them with my mouse.

Without system info and other details like e.g. your settings for bounding box display nobody can tell you much.

Horizontal scrollbar isn't showed when using HTMLCSS format

I'm using iAS Rel 1
when creating "Right to Left" reports in HTMLCSS format with the report server , the horizontal scrollbar
isn't showed !
is there anyone can help me ?
I'mm be really thankfull

Hi Kamran,
So you are using Reports 6i. Even in Reports 6i, you should not be hitting this problem. Pl install the latest 6i patchset 15 from Metalink (patch number 3171855). However, it is also possible that this is not actually a Reports issue. Pl try to view the report output in a different browser and see if the issue reproduces.
If it reproduces, you can also try to see a report in the "left to right" direction also results in this problem.

Error when create XMLType object with JDBC connection

Hello, I try to get an XMLType object with JDBC, but it doesn't work. Can somebody help me?
My code is :
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@"+"a02w03:1521:PROJET", "scott", "tiger");
OraclePreparedStatement stmt = (OraclePreparedStatement) conn.prepareStatement("select xmldoc from cv_col");
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery();
OracleResultSet orset = (OracleResultSet) rset;
while(orset.next())
OPAQUE o = orset.getOPAQUE(1);
System.out.println(o.getSQLTypeName());
XMLType poxml = XMLType.createXML(o);
My database table:
CREATE TABLE cv_col (
XMLDoc xmltype
Execution: The SQL type name "SYS.XMLTYPE" is write and then I obtain the error:
Exception in thread main
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.String oracle.jdbc.internal.OracleConnection.getProtocolType()

Thank you, very much!

What platform are you using for the database, what are you running your code on.
Which database version are you working with.. What is your class path. What version of JDBC and OCI are in the client environment, eg what are CLASSPATH and PATH / LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings. Have you tested your code using a simple IDE like Oracle's JDeveloper or run it from directly from the command line.

Strange behavior when resizing with 'Selection Tool'

Hello,
I have a really strange issue when using selection tool to resize object. I have several rectangles stacked and grouped inside a layer. When I select one of them (either in Layer panel or with Group selection tool) and switch to 'Selection Tool (V)' to resize it, this tool behaves diferently at diferent zoom levels. Only at 200% zoom it behaves as it shoul.. With 100-150% zoom result is diferent - like there's a invisible box around selected object and I'm resizing it.. I've tried to explain the issue in attached image.. Anyone knows why is this happening?
Thanks.

- make new document, size 16383x16383px
- create rectangle any width, hight say 200px (or anything less then 320px for 5% zoom)
- select rectangle and show bounding box
- try resizing hight by stretching bounding box
- this is how same selection looks at diferent zoom levels
- same zoom level as befor, hight 100px..

The keyboard isn't showing when I want to text someone?

The scroll on the side stops like it there but there is nothing? it happened the other day when I received a message and I could text back. I've nothing to the settings? It's only happening on my text and iMessages

Close out of the message app, double tap the home screen and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

TS1425 just downloaded the latest i tunes and my ipod isn't showing when connected also no side br

I have just down loaded the latest Itunes update but when i plug in my Ipod Classic it doesn't appear. There doesn't seem to be a side bar either. How do I transfer stuff onto my Ipod now?

I don't have an iPod just an iPhone as soound as I installed iTunes 11 I had icon on the menu bar across the top of the screen on the right labeled iPhone. When I click that icon the iPhone windows opened up so I could work with my iPhone. I would suggest you look at the top bar of the iTunes window for and iPod icon.
In the clean up of the GUI for iTunes the side bar was removed.

Keynote Crashes When I Move Objects With Arrow Keys

Subject explains it all.
This happens on both my 2.4GHZ Intel iMac and G4 powerbook.
Machines are running OS 10.5.2 and Keynote 2.0.2
I've bought both Leopard and Keynote and installed all the software from the CDs.

The advice I would take from the last post would be used only to isolate the issue as it might relate to a system wide issue or a user specific issue. In other words, can we determine Keynote's behavior as being related to your home account and those files in your folder or the System (OS) level files? Read on please…
If, after creating a new user account and logging into and Keynote continues to behave the same way, then potentially there is file outside your homefolder responsible for this. The file in question would, I'm sure you would agree, be a file related to Keynote's functionality and is accessed while Keynote is in use.
When Keynote is attempting to follow your instructions it may be accessing a file that it relies on.
A program which you can download to troubleshoot the issue is called appzapper, you can visit the developer's site here: http://appzapper.com/
My suggestion would be to download this little app. Install it>drag and drop Keynote onto AppZapper. AppZapper will do its' best to find files relevant to the Keynote application and give you an opportunity to trash them.
If you are curious as to the files AppZapper associates with Keynote, copy the name of those files and do a Google search to find out more about those files.
In most cases the list of files, AppZapper associates are harmless if trashed, just make sure Keynote is not open while doing this or Keynote may sort of ask itself what is going on and behave oddly, a quit and relaunch should fix that if you forget to quit Keynote.
Good target files that AppZapper might find are what are known as .plist files, plist as in PropertyList. .plist files typically store application preferences. So if you have ever gone to the preferences for Keynote in this case and modified the settings that .plist file would have stored those changes you set. If you move the .plist files to the trash, Keynote, upon a relaunch will say to itself, oh look, my .plist files are missing and simply regenerate those .plist files.
The point here is if the .plist files were corrupt and Keynote was accessing those file(s) it would try to read the file and say to itself, hey I don't know how to read this and in this case, shut itself down.
AppZapper may find more than just .plist files, investigate any files you feel hesitant to trash using your our old friend Google to learn about what it is you are going to trash.
In most cases what AppZapper finds is safe enough to trash, just be sure to close Keynote before running this to keep Keynote from running into any unexpected surprises. It would be like yanking candy from a child's hand - that wouldn't be too nice.
Finally if the issue persists, using DVD1 that came bundled with your mac, you should be able to install the bundled software only.
Reinstalling Keynote or iLife should also be considered as a solution.
An entire OS purchase or OS re-installation is definitely overkill and not an elegant solution, not to mention the downtime.
The solution I am proposing hopefully makes common sense to you and gives you an overview in terms of understanding that there are files other than the application file related to any application's overall function.
AppZapper is a small download and may help you locate that stubborn file causing you grief.
That being said, creating a new user account on your mac and logging into it to isolate issues as being system wide or user specific is indeed the way to go to isolate issues in those terms.
Keep us posted.
