Where are my colour swatches and stroke choices

I have a big problem with Illustrator and it happens all the time. I have made a pattern and although it works fine I now have no colours in my swatches just the patterns and my line choices for strokes is now limited to one choice. If I open a new doc the default materials are back and line choices. It's obviously a preference somewhere but I haven't the foggiest idea where to find it. It's very frustrating because I can't reset to the defaults and I can't append colours to the swatches or append new strokes to the line choices.
Can someone tell me how to get this working as I am lost

  • I opened iPhoto and it opened as if i just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back?

    I opened iPhoto and it opened as if I just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back? Luckily for the most part, I backed up photos on my flash drive, but I had just imported dozens of pictures from my phone. I reopen iPhoto soon after and the prompt asking how I would like to start iPhoto and all came up. I selected what brought me to the iPhoto I open up to every day only without any pictures.

    Are you in the correct account that contains the iPhoto Library?
    Did you ever move your iPhoto Library to an external drive?  If so, and you disconnect this drive, iPhoto will create a new blank one in the pictures folder.
    Check your computer to see if the "iPhoto Library" was accidently moved to the trash.
    If you still can't locate your images, launch finder, and select "all images" in the source column.  This will display all images on your computer.  Be carefull not to delete, move or modify the images you see in this manner, as it will cause issues with good iPhoto Libraries, however it may help us locate where the images are.
    Once you locate an image, click it once, then in the top menu bar, select "view / show path".  This will display it's location along the bottom of the finder window.
    Once you know where the image is, this should help you launch iPhoto to the correct library.

    Where are the smiley faces and symbols for texting?

    On the emoji keyboard. Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Add Keyboard and select emoji. Then you will have a small globe key near the number key on the left side of the keyboard. This will allow for selecting between the regular keyboard and the emoji keyboard.

    Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

    Hello.  It looks like I recovered all my keywords attached to photos.  What I did:
    First I located all photos without keywords using a metadata search.
    I found that it seemed to be certain groups of photos that had no keywords.  I decided to at least get the main keyword on all of those in a particular group, like Canyonlands. 
    Once I added one of the keywords, the others all showed up magically!  I then went to each group of photos and added the main keyword, and the others came along and attached to the photos.
    Don't understand why this occurred or why it got fixed, since it was so random.  But, I'm glad to have my keywords restored (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)
    Thanks for the discussion and help.

    Assuming rawValue of the total field is returning as "10000".
    In the Calculate event of the Total field, write the following with Java Script as language.
    VP_Signature.presence = "hidden";
    Officer_Signature.presence = "hidden";
    if(total.rawValue>10000){
         VP_Signature.presence = "visible";
         Officer_Signature.presence = "visible";    
    else{ 
         VP_Signature.presence = "hidden"; 
         Officer_Signature.presence = "visible";

    No; TV shows and movies are currently only available in the US. Apple says it hopes to take movies international in 2007.

  • Where are all the songs and whole albums i bought for i tunes? i have a new macbook but iTunes has none of my paid for music

    where are all the songs and whole albums i bought for i tunes? i have a new macbook but iTunes has none of my paid for music

    Your purchases won't automatically show in your new Mac's iTunes library. If you go into iTunes > Preferences and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' then what you can redownload should show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against them - click on the cloud to download them. Or click on your name towards the top right of iTunes and then click Purchased on the popup, and you can redownload them from there.
    If you've moved countries since buying the music, or if the rights-holders have removed them from the store, then you won't be able to redownload them. In that case if you still have your old computer then you could copy them over from that (e.g. via an external drive : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support or via home sharing), or copy them from your backup of your downloads/library and add them via File > Add Too Library

  • Custom colour swatches and analysing a photo

    hi!
    i have two questions.
    what i want to do is taking pictures of my patients teeth with a neutral grey on the photo to get the white balance right.
    then i would like to analyse areas of the photo.
    i was told that it is possible to generate a palette of colours and use a tool to point on different areas of the photo and ps shows me to which of my colours of the custom palette the area i point at is closest to (i want to identify the tooth colour of a patient).
    could anyone tell me how to do this?
    regards

  • Incorrect colours swatches and conversions

    I am working for a business and have come up with a range of colours for our business style sheet.
    We are now creating a style range based on rgb but taking the hex values from the conversion. We are using the the rgb values firstly as some colours which are grey. This ensures there are no red in them. eg: 33 33 33 then the hex value #212121.
    WE are both using PS - RBGAdobe 1998 and monitor RGB in the proof setup. We are both using the same imported colour .aco swatch.
    When my work collegue imports the colour swatches she sees the correct values, however my computer is changing the vaules and I don't understand why????
    Any explanations????

    I agree with teh prevous poster. You are doing something wrong with your color management most likely, but your terminology really is unclear and vague. Sounds like you are trying to produce web colors, for which no color management is even required.

  • Where are the canned reports and dashboards?

    I assume I'm missing something obvious here. I'm walking through the installation guide for Informatica users, and that all seems to be working out. I've also done the configuration of the OBIEE repository and loaded that in, so I see the metadata and all the tables/joins etc. But I thought there were canned reports and dashboards included -- where are they? I don't see them mentioned in the documentation and figure there should be a more obvious way to find them than looking at all the directories in the installation...
    So... can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    The canned reports /dashboards are in the catalog. on the machine where you installed BI application, OracleBIData\web\catalog
    you will find EnterpriseBusinessAnalytics.zip, then unzip this file and update the instanceconfig.xml and restart the presentation services.
    thx

  • Where are EP 6.0 and XI????

    Hello all,
    I thought that EP  and XI were automatically a part of Netweaver 7.0
    - but -
    when looking at the installation docs, neither is mentioned on the first page  :-|
    Where does one find EP and XI? I need to download and install both ...
    TIA

    Hi Koti,
    Thanks for responding ..
    Might I inquire why both need to be on separate servers?
    I found the following on another thread:
    You can NOT have same SID or same INSTANCE NUMBER if you installing on the same box (server).
    You can install all the three (XI, EP, BI) on the same server ( if they are for lab or Dev or quality) provided your server meets the minimum memory requirements.
    Can either reside on the same box with the Solution Manager?
    If the only barrier is a memory issue than an upgrade in memory would solve the problem - right? If on my system it seems that 4G min of memory is needed, then in order to start both systems at the same time, 8 G of memory (at a minimum) would be needed.
    If EP 6.0 and XI are part of Netweaver, then why are they not listed with the Netweaver 7.0 download?
    TIA

  • Where are my order number and new number?!

    So I ordered a sim card kit and go phone plan. And I never receive any email about my order numbers and new phone number. I thought my order didn't went through. So I checked my bank statement saying at&t took out the amount I paid for the stuff I bought. But where are my order number? And when I called customer service, they put me on hold for over 20 minutes. I called them 3 times and all they did was put me on hold or transferred my calls to this department and then they hung up me. I'm over here, clueless about my order.
