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.

  • Why does ABC family say im not located in the United States when i try to watch a video?

    Okay so i went to the website ABC Family to watch pretty little liars an it wouldnt play the videos. It says ''error 403-1, You appear to be outside the United States or its territories. Due to international rights agreements, we only offer this video to viewers located within the United States and its territories.'', and I'm in Missouri which is dead center in the United States. This computer hasnt been outside of the US, so i dont understand why its saying that. I checked the time zone on my computer as well an its in the right time zone. So if theres any way you can help me that would be great.
    Thanks.

    hello denverniccole, websites will detect your location based on the public ip address your internet service provider assigns to you: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/network-location/
    there's not much you or the browser can do to change that - if you suspect that your location is wrongly determined, please contact ABC's support & explain the situation...

  • Why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?

    why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?

    Probably because you have not signed in in the Settings app. The iTunes and App Store keeps track of apps that need updating and auto updates apps for you. You need to be sign in for this to work.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > sign in.

  • Why do my 3rd party loops not appear in the "Loop" tab?

    I have saved some Magix wav loops into the local apple users directory of Logic Express and though I can find them using the media browser they do not appear in the loops tab listing.
    Does anybody know the cure for this?

    If you drag your .wav loops into the arrange area do they function properly?  If not, you may need to convert them using Apple Loops Utility.  After doing that you can drag the folder with the .aiff conversions onto your loops tab to import them.

  • Why are all-day calendar events not appearing in the Notification Center?

    I've noticed that all-day Calendar events do not appear in the Notfication Center in iOS. This is a glaring omission and I'm not sure if it's related to a bug or is intentional but it should be fixed right away. Why in the world would you leave out an all-day event from the Notification Center? What if I had a wedding anniversary or some other important event to remember?

    IOS / is no out for a couple of weeks and Apple seems to be reluctant to fix this problem. As a business device it becomes rediculous to be not able to see my calender entries anymore in the notification center. Is Apple now leaving the business arena and focusing on toys ?

  • Why does Adobe Reader XI set my keyboard to display NUMBERS ONLY when I open a .pdf file?

    I need to keep re-booting my laptop to resolve above bug. Ideas please?

    ONE MONTH AND NO REPLY - WHO  CAN ADDRESS THIS BUG????
    WHEN I OPEN A .pdf document using ADOBE READER 11.0.2  BEHAVIOR is described BELOW. I CANNOT BE MORE COGENT.
    It occurs both within Adobe Reader functions, such as page printing options, and in all APPLICATIONS (Gmail, Word, etc) once I close .pdf document.
    SOLUTION: I MUST POWER DOWN/UP EACH TIME I USE ADOBE READER. THIS IS IDIOCY.
    1. Keyboard appears RESET to display numbers ONLY, and numbers displayed to DO NOT CORRESPOND to numbers I TYPE.
    AFTER ADOBE READER IS CLOSED I type "A" into say, an email address field and a random number, say, "9" appears in the field not an "A".
    WHILE IN ADOBE READER  I type "23" into the .pdf "go to page" field, and get other numbers completely.
    Happens ONLY when I open a .pdf file with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 (XI).
    Both behaviors occur whether I open a download .pdf file or attempt to open a .pdf via search engine Google + my Browsers.
    2. Operating System = Windows 7.
    3. My Browser = Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Foxfire; behavior is identical on either. Search engine used is Google.
    Weird, but true, and tiresome. I've had it..

  • Why does my CS5 Bridge gallery not appear after being uploaded?

    Hello,
    I have recently created a series of galleries built into Dreamweaver. I used <iframe> to incorporate and it previewed in the browser just fine. After uploading the gallery does not appear. Please review this site and code for any recommendations.
    www.jakgallery.com/19901999.html
    Thanks very much! Mike

    Take the Bridge created index.html page and associated files and folders and copy them to your Dreamweaver site folder, making sure not to overwite your existing index page or folders you may want to rename the Bridge Created files something els like add a 2. Then open the Bridge created index.html file with Dreamweaver, switch to code view and then select all t eh coed and copy it to your clipboard. Now open up your own Dreamweaver page or create a new page inyour Dreamweaver managed site and switch to code view, select all and paste previously copied code into it. Make sure to double check that URLs  point correctly to where your resources are making sure that wherever your photos are called in the code point to the folder and image where that particular folder is located in your site.
    someone else came up with this so if they see this I thank you.

  • Why does iTunes say it is not connected to the internet when the connection is active?

    No problems running iTunes on Windows XP machine with Norton Internet Security.
    Moved to new computer with Windows 7 - still running Norton Internet Security.  iTunes does not start when iPhone4 is connected with USB cable.  Worse problem is that all internet activity (check for updates, activate this computer, etc.) is halted with message that computer is not connected to the internet... but it is.  All browser and email activity works right.
    Do I have a Windows 7 setting problem, a Norton Internet Security setting problem, an iTunes setting problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    For the device connectivey issues try Andrei Cerbu's post here or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
    I suspect Norton's firewall is blocking iTunes. I can't tell you offhand where to look to tweak things.

  • Why does Signature with an email address appear on the top left hand corner of each template? Is there a way to remove this or is it standard? Thank you!

    I'm not sure this is necessary or is it proof to the customer of where the proof/invoice is coming from for approval?
    Thank you for your time and consideration!

    Hi Brandon,
    By default, if you are not placing the signature field in document manually, a signature block ( having signature and email address ) is placed at the bottom left corner of document by default.
    While sending the document from Send tab, just check "Preview, Position Signatures or add form fields" and hit Next. In Preview page, you can drag and drop Signature field along with other form fields at appropriate position in document.
    Here is the link for reference:

  • Why doesn't ANYTHING appear in the firefox window when i open it?

    Firefox opens up EMPTY. Black screen. Minimize/Expand/Close buttons still there. Nothing else. Clicking in the upper portion reveals that the buttons still EXIST but if i say, found "options" and clicked it, i get a new and utterly useless popup window. (all black, again, just mini/close option)
    Fix this? Otherwise urging my client to permanently switch to chrome (and billing anyway! woohoo!)
    Thanks

    hello mattinitus, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to the system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • How do I get my iPad to open to the lock screen and NOT the passcode panel when I open my cover

    When I open the cover to my iPad Air it is open to the 4digit passcode screen and NOT my lock screen with the date and time. When I go to settings under Touch ID and passcode I see 'require passcode' immediately with a check near it.  When I click on that and try to UNcheck it, nothing happens.  How do I get my iPad to open to the lock screen

  • Why does some of my music not appear in my music app on the iPhone but I can search and play it through iPhone search?

    A few albums and songs are in my iPhone 4S but don't appear in my music app, to play them, I must search for it using search iPhone

    This seems like a very innocent post, but in digging more on the problem I've also seen this (some music recopies with every sync) with 9.1.1 level code. Apple Software Update said my system was fine, and iTunes itself also said it was up to date. However the reported code level is 9.1.1.11 rather than 9.1.1.12. After I manually downloaded and installed the most current .12 version, on 2 different machines btw, I noticed that the library needed to be updated yet again. Let me tell you that on a 1TB library this takes a long long time.
    After another re-copy cycle, and did some more sync tests and this time I'm not getting the re-copy to happen, so the problem appears to be cleared up.
    Again, issues like this are magnified significantly on systems with very large library.
