Why are none of the effects I apply working?

Why are none of the effects I apply working? Every effect I've tried causes the program to "Not Respond", and then shows the program applying the "Gaussian Blur" when I have not applied it. The program applied  "Gaussian Blur" also does not take effect, even though it shows the program applying it.

Create a blank document , and draw a circle and apply a drop shadow does that work?
If that does work you may have a problme document. Guassian blur will show on a document with drop shadows, if Illustrator is struggling to prcoess the drop shadow.
If taht does not work reset your prefences.

  • Why are none of the groups in my Address Book showing up the address book tool in the new message window in Mail? Actually how do I get the two to match?

    I seem to have lost the groups from my Address Book in the address book tool in Mail. When I try to address a new email, all my contacts are grouped under all and the other groups found in my Address Book application are missing. Is there a way to get the groups to show up in the address book within Mail?

    When you make changes in AB, quit Mail for the changes to be added to Mail's database file. Reopen Mail and try it.

  • Why are none of the Best Buys in my area carrying the Fatal1

    I li've in Lonng Island NY. I have called every Best buy out here (got to be about 0 of them) and not one carries the Fatalty card. They all carry the 2 lower end ones though (ExtremeMusic + Platinum). And then to boot you can't order through Creatives own site due to the Exclusi've agreement with Best Buy I am assuming. So if Creative won't sell em cuz Best buy should be and Best Buy's out here are not carrying them how in the hell am I supposed to get one?

    Exauilted, trust me, you don't need to spend another $80 for 64 megs of Ram. The platinum model has 00% of the functionality that the Fatalty card has and it sounds awesome. The 64 megs of ram won't make that card sound any better. It <EM>might </EM>give you one to two more frames per second on a game IF the game was actually written to take advantage of it (of which I seriously doubt any ever will that aren't funded by Creative). If you have a fast computer with a decent graphics card, go get yourself the Platinum card today.

  • Why are none of the plans available in Bermuda?

    I was able to download the free trial of the photography products but now that I actually want to buy them it seems they don't want my money because of I where I live?  This makes no sense.

    I am in the exact same position. I have been using Adobe Lightroom since version 1 and, now I want to subscribe to Creative Cloud (CC) as an individual, I cannot simply because I live in Bermuda. In fact, I used to live in UK and could subscribe to CC had I wanted as I had a UK address and credit card associated with that address and corresponding UK Adobe ID.  But when I moved to Bermuda I played the honest game and switched my Adobe ID country to Bermuda and that is when the problems with CC started.  Had I kept quiet about my change of address and kept my UK Adobe status, I would probably be using CC successfully here in Bermuda!  The team subscription (from an Adobe "reseller") is more than I want (or should) spend. It is about time Adobe added Bermuda to their list of CC countries just like iTunes did a few years back (before that we had to buy iTunes scratch cards and pay more than face-value for them in order to buy things on iTunes as Bermuda was not recognised by Apple)!  Very regressive and odd in this "global" day and age to turn away loyal customers who are desperately trying to buy their products.

  • Why are none of the $0.69 songs $0.69?

    I think I may have purchased some 69 cent songs for 99 cents. Today I actually paid attention to the prices of the songs I was looking at and there aren't any songs that are actually .69. I know 30 cents really isn't a HUGE deal but it's the principal of the matter here. Do we only get charged 69 cents even though it says 99 or 1.29 in there?

    I'm not very technology saavy... Can I put mp3s from amazon on my ipod?
    Yes!  You may purchase MP3s from any online source and add them to your iTunes library.
    Once they are in  your iTunes library, just sync your iPod.
    According to Apple CEO Steve Jobs, "under 3% of the music on the average iPod, is purchased from the iTunes store."

  • My XI Standard: Why are none of the Fill & sign tools available?

    I am simply attempting to set up and use digital signature, and am finding I am spinning in circles. I am unable to access a location to set up digital signature within either the Fill & Sign or Tools tabs. Actually, the functionality of all the items within Fill & Sign does not appear to be available.

  • I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS

    I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS.  When I look in the library under the get info screen it says they are in the folder itunes music, under the c: drive but when I actually go to that folder to look for them they are not there....HELP!

    Hello RumDog,
    I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
    Where are my iTunes files located?

    Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."

  • Why are some of the loops in GB 'greyed

    Why are some of the loops in GB 'greyed out' " I'm specifically interested in 'slide guitar' for example and cant find a reason why there's no access. My iMAC was bought in April 2010??

    Would you please stop spamming every single apple garageband discussion forum with your website. It doesn't have the answers on how to force the loops to download.
    You're using the forums to spam your site in almost every single thread, and wasting users time.
    Have to disagree with you there, Court Kizer. The Bullets&Bones site is, in many ways, where I really learned how to use GarageBand.
    Take a look at the list in the Top Users box on the right. Those points are awarded by people who got their answers from the advice posted.

  • I have a new iPhone 6 plus and all is OK. But the mail shows more than 400 'unread' messages whereas there are none in the mailbox or trash or anywhere else I have looked. I can send and receive with no problem. I'm sure I have no unread messages.

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

    I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

  • Why are some of the forums locked?

    Why are some of the forums locked?  Could it be because the number of complains for service (the lack of), scams by stores - employees, placating that happens just to make a sale or general MISINFORMATION and a total disregard for their customers would question some of Verizon's tactics?
    Morally, ethically and legally questionable actions by employees with little to no accountability sounds about right?
    What say you Verizon Customers?

    Could be varied reasons. The thread is outdated, the question was answered, there are off topic attacks, there are personal attacks on forum members, there could be spam posts, or off topic posts, cross posting over and over and the list could go on.
    Hope that answers your question?

  • Why are some of the file folders on my desktop showing up with a shaded color?

    Why are some of the folders on my desktop showing up with a different folder color, a dark shad of blue, opposed to the default blue color?
    I've searched and searched but all I can find are posts on how to change the color of your folder. I am concerned that maybe, I accidentally shared it or have done something I am not aware of. (Mac Mini, 2.3 i7, 1TB, 16GB RAM running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2)

    I don't know how many photos you're trying to post on one page but if you put too many PCs using Internet Explorer may have problems loading the page.  I prefer to keep the number down to less than 50 and have more than one page which will be indicated by the page links at the top of the thumbnails:
    These smaller pages will load faster and in more browsers.
