Why did bounding boxes go away in the latest version of illustrator?

I just installed the latest version of AI after my machine died and for some reason I no longer have a bounding box when selecting a single shape with the selection tool. When selecting multiple shapes I do get a bounding box but not for single objects. Can anyone help me turn the bounding box feature back on or possibly revert to an older version? PLEASE HELP!!!!

yuchangeai,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks).
So a switch to Mavericks with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

  • I was asked to Update Software.  I did, then it asked to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.  I tried to download Adobe, but it won't work.  Help?

    How can I get the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to download on my Mini Mac 10.6.8?

  • Why won't my pc successfully load the latest version of iTunes?

    Upgraded from iphone 4 to 4S; iTunes said that I needed to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes in order to sync 4S (version 10.5 or higher).  Version available for download is 10.6.1.  Downloads and gets at least 3/4 of way through the install and then I get a crazy error message with nasty codes.  Tried uninstall of prior version of iTunes and clean reinstall of 10.6.  Also ensured that the pc is up to date on all updates.  Still no dice.  Any thoughts?

    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:

  • Why am I Having Graphics Problems with the Latest Version 29.0.1 of Firefox?

    It seems like after I installed version 29.0.1 of Firefox, I'm having intermittent graphics problems I've never had before with any previous version and I don't have with any of my other browsers.
    Sometimes Firefox just scrambles the web pages on all of the tabs I have open. No other components of the Windows XP desktop have graphics problems when this happens and no other open applications seem to have graphics problems. It's just Firefox. Sometimes I can refresh the tab/page (F5) and it clears up the blotchy random graphics characters.
    Does anyone know if there were changes to the graphics engine in version 29.0.1?
    Thanks!

    Can you attach a screenshot?

    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
    Try to create a new Boolean pref on the about:config page via the right-click context menu with the name <b>layout.paint_rects_separately</b> and set the value to true and leave hardware acceleration enabled.
    See comment 414 in bug 812695:

    That way you still have the benefit from hardware acceleration, but may not suffer from rendering issues.

    Is this an old version?
    Shouldn't it be 14.0.2 or something?

    Mine is 14.0.0 as well and acording to Adobe there are no new updates.

  • I have just downloaded the latest version and some sites are part loading then taking ages to complete the page load. why and can you or I do anything about it please.

    latest version loads the main banner of page then takes too much time loading the content of page > I have even had to stop the page loading and refresh before it will load properly> I did not experience this before installing the latest version the pages used to load insantaneously. I am not the only one experiencing this as my friend has reverted back to explorer.
    Please can you do something about this.

    It could be caused by a Firewall. Disable your internet security and then see if QT will open.
    Are you an administrator account? It could be a permissions issue. Open the User Accounts control panel to see what type of account you have. Open the QT control panel to File Types. Does it show programmatically set? If so that will indicate permissions have been set by an administator.
    Also are there too many applications running at once or loading at start up? Look down at the bottom right corner of the screen, is it loaded with icons? If so close them all out and stop them from running at start up, then see if QT will open. The only application that should load at start up is your internet security and maybe volume control, anything else you can open as needed.
    If none of the above is a solution than I can help you uninstall QT and install, if so what version of QT is on the computer now. Open the QT control panel and click on About QuickTime

  • After installing the latest version of adobe flash player, my internet won't work properly.

    I'm not sure if anyone can help, but you might know of where or who else I can ask. I have Mac 10.4.11 and yesterday my internet was working fine. My computer had just performed an automatic firefox update, as is usual. When firefox restarted it suggested that I update my adobe flash player, which I was pretty sure could use an update. So I did. I downloaded and installed the latest version. SINCE then my internet has been doing strange things. It often acts like I've lost my internet connection - I open a new tab or type a new address into the browser and it won't do anything or go anywhere. It doesn't tell me that I've lost my internet connection. It's like something's blocking it because it doesn't even attempt to load the new page or website. And I know that I haven't lost my internet connection. I have to quit firefox completely, and then re-open it for it to work, and even then it will only work for a few minutes at the most. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it.

    Try relaunching Safari and/or logging out/into your Mac.
    Then browse to this Adobe page to verify you have the latest version of Flash installed -> http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html

  • I recently updated my IOS software on my IPAD with the latest version and now video from some sites does not run. I did not do the update on my other IPAD and the video runs fine. Any idea why.

    I have an IPAD 3 and recently updated the IOS software with the latest version and now video from some sites will not display where it did prior to the update. When I go to those same sites on my other IPAD that I did not do the softward update the video still works. Any idea why and what to do to fix it?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    You have to work this out with iTunes Support.

    You can change the country in the next screen in the upper left if needed. Click on Contact iTunes Store Support under the iTunes Store heading at the top right side of the page. Then click on Purchase, Billing & Redemption in the next screen and follow the prompts.
