Direct Selection tool not showing ankles illustrator CS3, Mac 10.5.8, MBP 2 .6GHz

Using the direct Selection (white arrow) moving on an anchor, they appear, but even if the anchor is selected the blue anchor box disappears as soon as the mouse moves away, so its impossible to select a handle.  I can still pass an anchor, but it is difficult to select two anchors attached paths, etc., somehow as lead a blind man.  If I click on a path, and then hold down the command key, hollow anchor box appear and the cursor turns into the selection tool.  Trough areas appear on the selection using the selection tool (black arrow).  I'm pretty direct selection tool was working properly last week (am a casual user).

I know the difference between tool, direct Selection tool, and group selection tool.   I think that happened a year ago and deleting a file preferably helped.  I, quit illustrator, remove "com.adobe.illustrator.plist" in my user library and tried.  that did not help.

  • Tool Direct Selection will not show the handles when you click the path.

    When I draw a line, no matter if it is done with pen, pencil or brush tool and try to choose a point with the direct Selection tool, it does not have a choice, I can not get the active handles. They don't show at all. It only shows the line transform handle. This only happens in a certain file. When I open a different file or create a new one, the problem does not exist.

  • Can't see handles using direct Selection tool

    Hello

    If I click on an anchor, then I could see the handle associated with this anchor. However when I chose the direct Selection tool and drag to select several anchors, I can see anchors but no handle that presented themselves. I've tried CTRL + H, but he only hid himself and showed the anchors. Please help.

    There is an option in the preferences to display the handles when multiple anchor points are selected.

    check and see if this is what you wanted.

  • Direct Selection tools issues

    My selection tool does not work properly. I can select an object and resize it, but I can't move it. I have reset the preferences and even reinstalled InDesign, without success. The objects are not locked and they are not on master pages. If I use the direct Selection tool and select all the external points of the object, I can move it, but this is obviously not an ideal job around! This problem occurs with the new AND old files. I'm working on a big project, so I HAVE to get this figured out ASAP. Help, please!

  • ICC profiles do not show in InDesign CS3

    Question: ICC profiles do not show in InDesign CS3

    OS: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit

    Details:

    Tested two computers with InDesign CS3 and both had the problem.  Tested another computer with InDesign CS4 and this has also had the problem.

    I tried to add ICC profiles to the following locations, restart Windows each time.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color

    C:\windows\syswow64\spool\drivers\color

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles\Recommended

    We would like to add printer profiles appears in the management section of the color of the dialog print InDesign box (see image below).  Unfortunately the added printer profiles only show up when the printers with PPD (Postscript Printer Description) files are selected.  In the past, we can select our own printer profiles and profiles of OEM printer for non-postscript printers in the drop-down list.

    Hold on tight. I never saw a CMYK profile in this list unless a postscript device is selected as the printer, nor vice versa. Are you sure you saw CMYK profiles for RGB composite devices?
