When i open a new illustrator cs6 document color swatches do no appear in the swatch panel. MAC 10.9.3 user

my color swatch do not appear in the swatch panel when i open a new cs6 document. MAC 10.9.3 user

Swatches are included in the New documents profiles that are included in the "Profile" menu. Have you been selecting a profile from there deliberately? What happens if you do so now - select for instance "Print" or "Web"?
If documents still don't contain swatches and you're certain you didn't change the document profiles, then they might have been corrupted.

  • I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.  When I open Safari to a blank page, a small "Settings" icon appears against the white background.  When I click on it, it opens  a link to a web page that is not among my other bookmarks.  How can I get rid of it?

    Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.

  • In Indesign I would like to be able to have the tools and the controls open automatically when I open a new page or document. Now I have to select them in the windows drop down.

    I do not want to have to choose these two controls or tools in InDesign each time I open a new page or doc. How can I make them open automatically?

    With nothing open, try pressing the tab key, and/or resetting the workspace.

  • When I open a new file I can't paint with colours. All the colours I choose change o a shade of grey

    When I open a blank file I can't paint with colours as every time I choose a colour it comes up as grey. Why is this?

    You might have choosen color mode as "Grayscale" in the new file dialog box. You need it to convert it into RGB. Go to Image Menu>Color Mode and select RGB there.

  • When I open a new tab in Fierfox a strange www-addres appears in one of the panes in the new tab.

    When openin a new tab in Firefox I get a strange www-address I haven't used in one the panes. Even though I click the erase button, the address will appear next time I open firefox. Do I have a virus in my computer which hads added the the www-address? I do not know how to erase the site.

    You can check for problems caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Getting black screens when i open a new window through a link or try to look at the menu options.

    When i load a new window/click to go to a website, all i get is a black screen. then when i want to look at my bookmarks all i get is a black pop up screen (cant see anything). if i try to navigate to the other tabs open they become black as well

    I did find the problem... It was the DivX Plugin for Firefox. I just found I wasn't using it. I went to Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled it. FYI I am running Windows 7.

  • When I open a new program in mountain lion it is not visible in the dock, nor can I select it with cmd-tab.

    Any ideas? I'm on a MacBook Air.

    I have the same problem as m.proudfoot. Defintiely a bug with the Dock. In addition, when I minimized applications, despite having the preference to minimize windows into the application icon, they would also start minimizing as windows to the right of the dock. I was able to fix it temporarily by restarting the dock. Go to the Terminal Application (in Utilities) and type the following: killall -KILL Dock
    That will restart the dock and for me it worked, where all of a sudden three running applications appeared and the CMD + TAB starting working again. Give it a try to see if it helps at least until there is a 10.8.1.
    As for what causes it, that I haven't figured out yet, but I have had it occur on 2 different machines, a MacMini and MacBook, both with Mountain Lion. So sure seems like a bug.

  • How do you change the default swatches that appear when I open a new document?

    When I open a new Illustrator CC file, I would like to have some of my favorite color swatches available in the color swatches panel.  How do I edit the swatches panel so they always appear on new documents?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Paul,
    You may add them to your Adobe Illustrator Startup_CMYK and/or Adobe Illustrator Startup_RGB files in your Plugins folder.
    What happens if you DoubleClick those swatches and Tick Global?

  • How can I make firefox give the focus (the cursor) to the address bar when I open a new window - as it does when I open a new tab (to about:blank)?

    When I open a new tab using CTRL-T, the address/awesome bar has the focus.
    When I open a new window using CTRL-N, it does not.
    Can the behaviours be made consistent via setting a configuration option or key?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hello wodow, please check it in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#firefox:linux:fx27 safe mode], do you have the same behaviour ? DO NOT reset, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    thank you

  • When I open a new window, it doesn't attach itself to the bottom toolbar? I'm using XP Pro and Firefox 6.0.2.

    It's explained pretty well in my initial question. Not sure what else you would need in the way of details.
    I will say it's been going on for a month or so, and it happens every time I start Firefox, and every time I open a new window.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave an answer for me, Poochie1. I really appreciate your attempt at helping me.
    Unfortunately, as smart as I thought I was when I asked the question, I apparently wasn't that smart, because I didn't explain my problem so you'd know what the heck I was talking about.
    I think it's because I'm probably not using the correct terminology. I'll try again.
    When I open a new window, it just kind of floats on the screen. Before this new update, I could open a window and it was lined up with the start taskbar located at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes the new window will cover up the taskbar partially, and sometimes completely. I have to move it up and align it with the taskbar. Then, when I open another new window, I have to line that one up with the window underneath it.
    I hope that description is better than my first one, and I hope you can make some sense out of it, Poochi (and anyone else who happens by here).
    Again, thank you for your help.

  • After a recent Windows Update my Bookmarks Toolbar no longer automatically appears when I open a new window. How do I reset this?

    Windows automatically updated my computer a few days ago and now when I open a Firefox window my Bookmarks Toolbar does not automatically appear at the top of the window. I can get it to appear there manually but I have to do it each time I open a window. Is there a way to reset it so that my Bookmarks Toolbar appears automatically at the top of the window every time I open a new window?

  • When i open a new document, my "width" and "lenght" add two zeros automatically to file size??? For example basic A4 size in mm is 210 00mm x 297 00mm? And i can´t do nothing about it! Why on earth?

    This "error note" must have something to do about it?

    elppaelo,
    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.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    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.

  • Why does my new saved swatch not appear in the Swatches panel when I open a new document?? Thanks :)

    I can create a new swatch and save it. It appears in the Swatches panel. But when I close (or save and close) the document, then open a new one/existing old one, my new swatch is no longer in the Swatches panel!?
    I have tried finding the answer on forums/Adobe books etc but to no avail - it is driving me mad!!!
    Thanks

    That's because a new file defaults to the "default template". You can save a file as a custom template, then open your template to use the custom swatches.
    I'm not saying I like this. It's just the way it is.
    Any file can be opened as a "swatch library", as well. If you've created files with custom swatches and want access to them, go to: Swatch panel flyout menu>Open Swatch Library>Other Library, then find the file containing the swatches. It will open as a "Library" and you can click swatches to add them to the current Swatch panel. You can also set the Library to be "Persistant" by going to "Library Panel flyout menu>Persistant". Then that Library will open anytime you open Illustrator.

    Are you sure, Eugene? I have this option:

  • Do illustrator cs6 document open in illustrator cs5?

    do illustrator cs6 document open in illustrator cs5?

    Yes, they do, but of course certain features will get converted/ expanded/ flattened and may not be editable. To increase compatibility, save it as a CS5 file from CS6.
