Stroke Panel options disappeared

All of my options under in the Stroke Panel have disappeared. I need to add arrowheads but the Stroke Panel appears empty and I am not sure how to get these options back. I have tried to Reset Essentials but that doesn't solve the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks.

How to show all Stroke Panel options?

Hey everyone!
So I've been working on an architecture project and just transferred my project to Illustrator CS6 from Rhino. Basically what I need is to change certain lines to thinner, dashed, and different spacing. Now, I've used Illustrator multiple times before on other computers, so I knew that to do this I needed to go to the Stroke Panel and change the settings there. Simple enough. HOWEVER. The only option showing in my stroke panel is Weight. No dash options, no spacing options, nada.
Can anyone help? I tried looking in window options, View options, and absolutely nothing seems to work. Every tutorial I saw for changing line weights/dash/space/etc shows it the same way: in the Stroke Panel. Mine just seems to be the only one in the entire world that doesn't want to give me these options.
Thanks so much in advance!!
-Shelly.

Use the popup menu at the upper right of the Stroke Panel and choose "Show Options".

Stroke panel alignment options inaccessible - prior forum solutions haven't solved it.

I've created a closed shape with the pen tool. No fill, just a stroke. I want to change the stroke alignment from Center Alignment, but in the Stroke panel, alignment settings are greyed out for Align Inside and Align Outside. I read related questions and answers in these forums but they didn't solve my problem. My closed shape is closed and is not a group or part of a group. "The devil's in the details!" Thanks for your help!

Babington,
Failing other solutions, you may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
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 (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Arrowheads made using Stroke panel break when backsaved as an EPS?

Hello~!
So I've noticed some fundamental differences between the features that WERE available under the "Add Arrowheads" feature, and the ability to add arrowheads that is now included in the Stroke panel. Insofar as I understand, there was not a way to customize arrowheads under the old "Add Arrowheads" feature; you were limited to the options preset in Illustrator (please correct me if I'm wrong). With the arrowheads under the Stroke panel, I can now customize arrowheads easily and add my own. However, when files are backsaved or opened in more recent versions with the old "Add Arrowheads" feature, they remain "live" so to speak- I can adjust their scale and change arrowheads easily in Appearances-->Add Arrowheads. When I backsave an arrowhead in CS6 down to, say, CS4 or CS3, it "breaks" it- becomes a featureless stroke with an overlapping, arrowhead-shaped path at the end of it. In order to change the arrowhead, I have to remove this path, re-add the arrowhead using the Stroke panel, adjust the length of the stroke again, adjust the scale again, etc.
I'm assuming this is because the Stroke version of adding arrowheads wasn't available in these previous versions of Illustrator, but is there a way to somehow trick Illustrator into keeping these arrowheads "live" so that I can adjust them simply even if they're backsaved? Alternatively, is there a way to access the old Add Arrowheads option and customize it without having something from an older file handy?
Thanks

The old arrowheads effect is only present when you open a legacy file (you can then access it in the appearance panel). Maybe you could create a graphic style and re-use that in CS6.

CS3 InDesign Stroke panel not showing

I use CS3 on a MacPro.
I've just found that the Stroke panel does not show in InDesign, so I cannot add or change the stroke on graphics.
Unlike all [as far as I've explored so far] the other Window options, when I click on Stroke I do not get a full panel of options, only a thin (vertical) bar –presumably the left and right sides of the panel, collapsed together.
This has never been a problem before and it happens in any choice of Workspace.
Any ideas, PLEASE?
Mike

Thanks Peter
Sorry I didn't spot that your first message was a link to a solution.
It worked fine. (I moved InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData to a temporary folder on the Desktop, started up InDesign again, and Stroke panel worked again. I was also relieved to find that, for instance, my Character and Paragraph Styles weren't lost, nor my Workspaces of choice. Without exploring too closely, all I've noticed is that Open Recent files have gone, which is absolutely no problem.
Thanks again.
Mike

Missing stroke panel - Mac InDesign CS6 (8.0.2)

Can't remember when I last needed to apply a stroke to an object but I've found today that I have no stroke panel. I've tried deleting prefs as variously described but that hasn't helped. Where can it be hiding?
Help!
Thanks.

Thanks for the fast response. I have try all of the Workspace options, but nothing seemed to open up the stroke tools. I went ahead and cleared my preferences and jumped into Edit>Menu and made sure all was set to "visibility". I'm still missing the "stroke" tools which normally are listed under Window>Stroke. Got anymore ideas?

Anyone else have this problem with PSE10?
Select the Layers Panel Options:

Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files. One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB. Now I can only find the 1.8MB one. Did this option disappear with Lion?

Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files. One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB. Now I can only find the 1.8MB one. Did this option disappear with Lion? I really need this option!

Sorry but this is not clear.
When you would "import" what?
two files would show up in "images".
Do you mean in the All Images search in the Finder?
IF so:
1.Never interact with photos that are in iPhoto via the All Images Search. This does not understand the iPhoto Library and it's very, very easy to damage the library this way.
2. What you were seeing was the original file you imported and the thumbnail created by iPhoto for viewing on the iPhoto Window. That thumbnail is not designed for user access.
What are you trying to do ultimately?

The space bar option disappears when I am typing in the IMAP in the incoming server I need the correct spacing, The space bar option disappears when I am typing in the IMAP in the incoming server I need the correct spacing

The space bar option disappears in the Incoming Server set up. I cannot type in IMAP: Port because I have no spacer options.

Thanks for your quick response. I am attempting to type in the Incoming Server box I need to type IMAP: Port 143 I can only type IMAP:Port143 which is the wrong spacing

When i swipe my finger to delete messages, the "delete" option disappears in no time before I tap delete. Help?

Also, my battery died after like 4 hours of a full charge.
This is a brand new phone .. HELLPP!!!

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again. This usually takes care of glitches. You will not lose data resetting the phone that way.
As for the battery drain, if you're using push/fetch for your mail, try to delete and set up the mail account again, the have been cases, in which the mail app tried to log into the mail server over and over again, causing the battery drain.

Where is the stroke panel?

Using CS4 on a Mac. Says go to Window--> Stroke Panel. Ain't no such thing. No panel. Nada. Not there. Gone.
Can anybody tell me where it is?

Odd that it would have that instruction.
The stroke properties are set in the Properties panel. In CS3 they're the third set from the left.

IMovie: Green screen option disappears?

Hi I recently started using the green screen sollution iMoive provides, and it works alright.
BUT! after putting at bg image and a green screen image together something weird happens, if I decide to put extra bg material after the sequence or erase everything and start over in the same project, the green screen option disappears. together with the insert picture in picture aso. why does it do that.? anyone else has that problem?

Hi
And Advanced tools still ON - or did it go to OFF also ?
I would try - Create a new User-Account and log into this and see if iMovie behaves. This forces Your Mac to create ALL pref. files as New - and if all works OK now then this indicates where to find the problem.

My friend has exact same Mac and CC and he has the same problem. We both have up to date Yosemite and CC versions.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Could you please confirm the CC application you are using.
It would be great if you post a screenshot of the problem.
