Smart Guides Do Not Work

My smart guides do not work. From the time I loaded CS5 they have not worked. If you go to View > Grids & Guides > the Smart Guides are grayed out.
Then if you go to the Control Panel > View Options, the smart Guides are not grayed out they are checked.
I have looked around and read trying to find out whats up with these guides but have not found anything the works. I have also uninstalled InDesign and reinstalled. This stall did not work.
If anyone has any idea of why or how to get the guides to work that would be great.
Thanks for your help...

You must have Snap to Document Grid enabled.

Smart Guides Randomly Not Working

Hi,
I've noticed in Illustrator CS4 (with all the updates) that Smart Guides does not seem to work on some files.
I make a new file in CS4 and then they automatically seem to work.
I have tried re-saving the file and turning on and off the Smart Guide settings and playing with the Control button.
I attached a sample file where it's not working as a demo.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

They work just turn off snap to grid or snap to pixel.

My smart guides are not working in Illustrator CC

I've check my settings, view, everything. I cannot seem to get smart guides to work. ( and yes, I've made sure I haven't just pressed command U )

J.Beech,
I don't know how but I've fixed it.
That is a pity. It is an old well known issue, or was until you came along, or rather still is because you cannot tell how.

The setting for iPad cover lock/unlock is in settings > general for iPad 2.
The iPad 2 and new iPad if both are using iOS 5.x or later the setting exist in settings > general.
So, if you worked at an apple store I think you should have known that the setting exist.
You are right, a hard reset (force restart) should only be used if iOS device is unresponsive or apps crashing...etc.
But, a simple restart helps as well.

Some smart album rules not working

At a bit of a loss here - either my upgrade to Mavericks or my upgrade of Aperture to 3.5 has caused my Smart Albums to not work with various EXIF checking rules.
I frequently have rules which check the EXIF tag, Camera Make, and check if it is Canon - this allows me to filter out and focus on my Canon 5D3 photos and not get distracted in relatively pointless editing of iPhone snaps. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Camera Make is Canon returns no matches, Camera Make starts with Canon returns nothing, Camera Make ends with Canon returns nothing.
If I go and look at a photo, I can see the Camera Make exif flag says "Canon" in the field. No spaces at the end or anything silly. It used to work.
Anyone experienced similar? Anyone have solutions?

Hmm, interesting. Given your use of quotes I just tried "Canon" including the double quotes, but that made no difference either.
The EXIF filter is the only rule on the smart album, and while the smart album is set for a single project, there are several hundred photos that should match in it. If I set the smart album to "Library" rather than the project, it still matches none...! Just in case there's some other rule burried away that just isn't displayed, I switched the smart album to "Match Any" rather than "All", and that too returns no photos.

Try going to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Snap to? Smart Guides? Not sure what the issue is but it's annoying.

Just made the big step up from CS2 to CS5. Lots of changes as to be expected but otherwise a smooth transition. Nice work Adobe.
One recurring issue has got me baffled and annoyed. It appears to be a snap-to function yet I'm unable to locate the place where it might be disabled.
In my previous version of InDesign resizing window sizes and shapes was a fluid and easy motion. Now it's staggering and akward. The text and picture boxes want to snap on an unseen grid. I understand how this can be a useful function for some kinds of work but it also gets in the way of composing an image.
Any suggestions on how to disable this?
Presently, I have both Smart Guides and Snap to Document Grid UNCHECKED in the View menu yet I'm remain unable to smoothly and fluidly size my text and picture boxes.
Thanks!

There's another new feature, Live Screen Drawing, that's on by default, but for many users it causes real choppiness in moving around on screen. It's at the bottom of the Interface section of the preferences. Try setting it to Delayed. That will allow you to have a live preview when you really want it by clicking, then holding for a moment before you drag, but moving immediately will give you what you are used to in CS2.
I actually think Smart Guides are worth using. They save me a TON of time.

IOS 8.02 guided access not working for Ipad 2

Will the next update for iOS 8 fix the issue for guides access for Ipad 2? Issue; function not working at all. And when will this update come?
We have now tried everything we can think of. Reset settings, totale factory reset etc. This doen both on the Ipad and thorugh iTunes.
For us the Ipad got useless with iOS 8 as we us it as a visitor kiosk using the app SIGN IN. We really regret updating.... please fix asap

I can confirm that this works on 3rd Generation iPads. But not 2nd Generation iPads. I have found that if Guided access was enabled prior to the upgrade it might reset in this process.
Turn off Guided Access in Accessibility / Settings.
Hard reboot. (Hold Home and Lock buttons for 7 seconds)
Turn on Guided Access in Accessibility / Settings. Reset Passcode.
Anyone have luck with a newer model?

Why are my Red Line Edge Smart Guide indicators not showing up or continuing the image to the edge o

I have been messing with a single long page layout with scrolling effects. So I have 2 or 3 other objects behind another object pair that I have been trying over and over to get to extend to the edge of the browser by pulling the size anchor of the rectangle object that has a raster fill up to the point where the Red Line Smart Guide line shows up indicating the image will repeat and fill out to the edge of the browser.
The red line seems to only show up for a millisecond will pulling the transform horizontal anchor. Then it snaps past the edge point by 20 pixels. Even when I have "caught" the redline for that millisecond and release the transform anchor, it still doesn't work when previewing or previewing in browser.
Does the object that you want to have repeat to the edge of the browser have to be one object? I have tried experiments with more rectangles with just color fills as well and it's the same sporadic Redline.

In your Muse preferences make sure that your smart guides are turned on:

Smart Guides should not consider clipped away art

Illustrator always seems to have trouble with parts of art that are hidden in clipping masks. If parts of an object are 'clipped away', then that's it. They shouldn't be seen, selectable or anything by anything except the Direct Selection Tool, right?
In older versions you were able to select a portion of an object which was hidden beyond the bounds of a clipping mask. Thank god, you fixed that one.
My current problem, though, is that I need to use Smart Guides to snap a print ad to a new artboard. But I can't get it to work because rather than recognizing the border of the ad, it's trying to snap the hidden portion of "clipped away" art. (See photo)

I don't have that problem (CS5). I am using the selection tool and able to snap the clipped imaged to the artboard edge.

Broadcom USB Smart Card reader not working

After upgrading my Vista Business SP2 (32-bit) to Windows 7 Ultimate RC (32-bit) my Broadcom USB smart card reader does not work any longer (Dell Latitude E6400 with built in smart card reader).
The newest available driver from dell support was already tested (Broadcom, driver date 09/23/2008, version 1.0.0.1, digitally signed WHQL, released by dell in March 09), but the device can not start (Error code 10) with Windows 7.
With the Microsoft WUDF Driver (Usbccid, driver date 06/21/2006, version 6.1.7100.0) the device starts but whenever I insert my smart card an additional device is detected (other device - smart card) but no driver found - Error message is: The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28).
What else can I try to get this reader working again (with vista sp2 the smart card reader was working fine with the broadcom driver)?

I have also an USB card reader that works fine on XP PCs but Win7 does not recognise it, can msft make a sd reader driver that works pls.
Hi
Sorry, but the way the industry works is that Microsoft develops Windows and Hardware manufacturers develop drivers for their products. Microsoft does maintain a complete division (MSDN) that is dedicated to assisting hardware and software manufacturers in developing their products for compatibility with Windows.
All of the drivers that are contained on the Windows installation disk and on Windows Update are placed there by the manufacturers of the devices. This is a service that Microsoft provides to help these manufacturers to distribute their drivers.
What you can do.
1. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated drivers for that device. This is your best source, since the computer manufacturer builds, tests, and sometimes develops their own, custom drivers to work with the hardware on their PCs.
2. Try to determine the name and manufacturer of the device using Device Manager and MSInfo32. Once this information is found, try to find that manufacturers website and look for the latest compatible drivers.
3. Check to see if there are any users forums on the PC manufacturers or device manufacturers websites. Ask there about any known issues with this particular hardware device or if the device is no longer supported.
4. If the drivers are found but are only available for previous versions of Windows, install the drivers using the Windows Compatibility Mode. HOW TO: Install a Hardware Device Driver using Compatibility Mode
Right now, we are in a unique situation since we are using an operating system that is still in the pre-release phase. Many hardware/software manufacturers will be ofrficially supporting their products for Windows 7 until after the General Availability date of October 22, 2009.
Hope this helps.
Thank You for using Windows 7

Smart Guides -Illustrator not really align rectangles CC2014

I'm testing the new version of Illustrator CC 2014 in windows 8.1 and all good except new bounding box of the rectangle tool, and if I want to align two rectangles with the same valiéndome features Smart Guides, these do not really line up, how when I make eh I reached the point of alignment of the figure that I have reference, as when zooming clearly see that not align myself really, we should mention that I have enabled the option to align grid of pixels, and also this does not happen with other tools like ellipse, or polygon, rectangle and only rounded rectangle, examples:
PD, and restore preferences, and reinstall the program and the problem persists

axs,
You may use old fashioned plain rectangles instead of live ones.
To be able to create a normal old fashioned rectangle, you can use the free script created by Pawel, see this thread:

My smart cover is not working with the new iPad

The smart cover for my iPad 2 won't work with the new iPad. I have verified the toggle is enabled in settings. Does anyone have a solution or is experiencing the same issue? Thanks :)

It's the polarity of the magnet in the older Apple Smart Covers (and many third-party cases and covers) that is causing the problem. All you need to know about this situation is detailed at my blog post:

HP EliteBook 8560w internal smart card reader not working

Uh! No!
On the Elitebook 8560w, the SDCard connection points do not face up, they in fact, face down. Facing up the card does not go in at all.
Also...
The SD MMC slot still does not work. I have tried every driver. I have tried putting a card in and running Windows Update. Nothing is working.
What's up HP are you ever going to respond and fix this?

What operating system is it? Are you sure you put the card in the correct way? [not trying to be mean here]
