Window panels not showing

None of my windows panels are showing up (the ones that are located on the right by default, i.e: layers, stroke, swatches etc).
I tried changing my workspace to different things but no panels are showing up. I also tried resetting my workspace and quitting illustrator.
Even individually clicking on each panel under the Window menu won't help.
This started happening today after I updated to the latest version of Illustrator CC 2014

Julian,
You may try the relevant parts of the list (5) is least likely to help).
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 at least 5 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.

  • A USB thumb drive with data created in Windows is not showing up on my desktop. Do I need a different driver or something?

    A USB thumb drive with data created in Windows is not showing up on my desktop. Do I need a different driver or something?

    OK in order to read those files you will need MS Office for Mac or install MS Windows on your Mac. You can get MS Office for Mac from anyone that sells Apple products. I would suggest the Apple Store, Best Buy, Amazon etc...For help getting the data from the memory stick I'd recommend visiting your local Apple Store or AASP and they can help you move it. It should be as simple as plugging the USB drive into your USB port and then open a Finder Window where you will see the drive on the left  pane. If you don't know what Finder is or how to open a new Finder window you need the sites I've noted below!!!
    Because you are new to OS X I would strongly recommend you bookmark and frequently visit the following web sites:

  • Updated and now tool windows are not showing up.

    I just updated my Muse and the pop open tool windows are not showing up. For example when I click on some text and then click on the list of typfaces the typeface window shutters and won't show up. This window keeps blinking from gray to black. I have uninstalled and re-installed the program. Also the tool window on the left side also cuts off the all of the tools. Also on my planning mode the A-master isn't showing up and I can't scroll to get to the A-master.

    The A-master not showing up at the bottom of the screen sounds like you must be running on a Windows machine with your screen resolution set to 125%. Try setting your resolution back to 100% (or if need be increase to 150%) and see if that helps.
    We don't support UI scaling in this release, but at the 125% setting Windows tries to scale us anyway and the result is not usable. We're working on a fix to avoid being scaled in this case.
    If it still behaves badly at 100%, would it be possible to post a screenshot?

  • JColorChooser : "Swatches"-tab's recent-panel not showing recent color

    Hello all,
    in JColorChooser on "Swatches" tab we have one panel named "recent" and another
    named "Preview".
    Problem 1.
    After i close my Color-chooser-dialog and reopen again , Preview-panel shows
    the last selected ie recently selected color BUT recent-panel not showing any color.
    Although on other Tab like "RGB" i am getting the selected color's RGB values .
    Below is the code-snippet , Am I doing anything wrong ?
    Problem 2.
    This problem is not consistent. What happens that whatever RGB values i set,
    next time when i open the chooser , Red-value gets educed by 1 !!!
    /// code snippet
    Color defaultForeground = conFont.getForeground(); /// this gives last selected color
    Color newColor = JColorChooser.showDialog(GSCommonUtility.getAMStudioFrame(),CommonToolProperties.bundle_ToolProperties.getString("ComContributionsAdapter_ChooseForeground"),defaultForeground);
    Can someone please through some light on these 2 problems?
    thanx n regds,
    Rajesh

    I'm having the same problem with the default color chooser. Whenever it is closed it seems to lose all of the recent colors information. If you figure it out please let me know!!

  • File Browser, properties, library window will not show up

    I'm using an old version of Motion 3 and my File Browser, properties, library window will not show up even when I click on the icons and/or press command+2,3, or 4 . Seems to be some kind of settings glitch as Motion works fine when logged in under another user. Any thoughts.

    schlickler,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    but now I have the preferences folder on my desktop--does that have to stay there?
    No, it can be trashed.
    Plist files contain instructions for recording and executing tasks associated with the the application or function that owns them. They can and do become corrupted. If you look in the username/Library/Preferences Folder you can usually guess what application or function the .plist serves by analyzing the file name. In this case it was the com.apple.iCal.plist file.
    Proper identification of the appropriate .plist file is not always so obvious. When an application malfunctions, removing the associated .plist file from the preferences folder to the Desktop is often the easiest first troubleshooting step. Then log out/in or restart and re-evaluate the performance of the application.
    A new default .plist file is automatically created in your Preferences Folder after you remove the recalcitrant .plist and initiate the log out/in restart sequence. You can expect default application behavior and you will have to reset some preferences. If the application or function returns to normal after removing the .plist file, it will prove that the original file was corrupt, and you can now safely trash the .plist file which you placed on the Desktop.
    If the application or function is unsatisfactory with the new plist file, the original plist file which was placed on the Desktop can be safely returned to the preferences folder. Just allow the system to replace the newer plist.
    If you are having problems with any aspect of OS X, experiment with deleting the appropriate .plist file. Plist corruption is not uncommon and .plist file deletion often cures many problems. Too many users try intricate solutions first and end up complicating their minor problem.

  • Firefox Downloads (in classic or new download window) does not show progress or downloads

    I noticed that when I download anyhitng that the download window (classic and new) windows do not show progress anymore, do not show files downloaded, nor give me anything to right-click and go to that folder, in which it was saved. I had it fixed for 1 day, until it started to lose the files the next day.
    I only see the arrow turning green, with no result within the downloadswindow.
    I had done the following:
    1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter.
    o The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
    2. In the Search field, type browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone.
    3. Double-click on the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone setting to change its value to false.
    You can set the Boolean pref browser.download.useToolkitUI to true on the about:config page to restore the classic Download Manager window.
    Yet this problem still continues.

  • Firefox 6 (& 7.0.1) download window is not showing on multiple monitors set up

    I have a dual monitor setup - Macbook Pro screen as secondary and an external monitor as primary screen.
    I have been running Firefox 3.6.x without any problem.
    Only just updated to Firefox 6 and the problem appear - download window does not show up.

    Just downloaded and want to see whether FF 7.0.1 would be any diferent, but nop. The problem still exist even the hardware accelaration is switched off as some users had suggested. Frustrating really...

  • Want to upgrade to lastest version - help/about Firefox window does not show "upgrade" as in instructions.

    I want to upgrade to latest version but -Help/About Firefox- window does not show "upgrade" as in the instructions. I cannot find an "upgrade" function anywhere else. How do I upgrade? The version I have is -18.0.1- it came with this used computer.
    I believe this computer was hacked. Word started doing very strange things. We wiped the hard drive and reloaded everything as it was originally when I bought it. I am now getting hacked online.
    They originally got into one of my credit cards last fall. That is when this all started. They got my AOL email address. They also got the credit card current balance, minimum payment, due date and then even the payment amount. They got into my Barnes & Noble account and now checkout does not work. Now I believe they have gotten into my AOL account - one thing after another has started going wrong. I cannot change that AOL user id/email address since it is the master and I would lose about 15 years of "stuff".
    The folks that sold me this computer told me to use a free version of an antivirus. I am very unhappy with it. I never had ANY trouble when I used TrendMicro's expense products. Those folks also told me to use Firefox, since AOL uses Internet Explorer - which I already knew is like Swiss cheese.
    Now, I cannot seem to get an upgrade of Firefox. Is this also a hack?
    Please help any way you can. Thank you for your time.

    It's probably just the Firefox updater having some problems. go to www.getfirefox.com and download Firefox 20.0.1

  • Pop-out window does not show the video

    I am having a video chat, but the pop-out window does not show the video when the main window is minimized. I have the latest version installed. The same problem happened once a few months ago (with the latest version installed).I searched online for quite a few days, but none of the solutions worked. Then one day the problem went away (mysteriously).

  • Site Window does not show any item

    Hi,
    My site window does not show any items/folders to modify after I open my site.  I was wondering if there is anyone who can point out what I did wrong.  Usually the site window shows all the contents as soon as the site is opened.  Please help.  Thank you.

    If you look inside the webcontent folder, in Finder view (or Explorer???? if you're using Windows) - anyway, are there in fact files in there?
    Try Site > Update > Refresh all.
    If that doesn't work, try making a new site from existing content, which should give you a new site file (call it something slightly different) sitting beside your old one. I'm guessing here, but it can't hurt.

  • Search hover panel not showing up in Internet Explorer with custom master page

    The hover panel is not showing up in internet explorer.  I am using a custom master page and it works no problem in the other browsers.  When I fire up the debugger there is an error message when i hover over a search result item:
    I tried debugging the JavaScript but i am not sure what is going on with it.  
    Am I missing reference or something done like that?  It has to be something simple because I have been scratching my head for a while on this.  
    Any ideas?

    Have you tried rendering the site in IE Compatability Mode?  Compatability Mode solves a lot of problems in this area because older versions of IE had a unique interpretation of HTML code.
