Impossible to select an object in IDCS6

I reformat an existing European brochure for the A4 to letter-size. Fine, with one exception.

I have a problem, select an object (as if it was locked, which it is quite possible). Everything in this document is in a single layer. I am able to select and change all the other elements, native or placed, but I can't seem to get this item to select. I don't see any way to unlock it, but I'm probably missing something. When I hide the layer in the layers palette, everything goes white, then I know it's on that layer.

I'm on Mac, OS x 10.6.8 IDCS6. The original file has been created using ID too (not sure which version).

Thanks for any help.

Lou

Thank you, Bob.

I thought about it. She set on a Master Page... forgot to check... Duh! All's well that ends well.

Best, Lou

  • Impossible to select objects close to an area of text in Illustrator

    I had this problem in CS6 and now CC and never taken the trouble to ask for help, but it's really bugging me right now.

    Adobe Illustrator CC 2015.3

    iMac 27 inch

    10.10.5 OSX

    When I try to select an object (using the Selection tool) such as a line, which is located near to a text box, if the object is too close to the bottom of the text box it is not possible to choose something other than the text box. It's like there's an invisible overlap that extends beyond the bottom of the text box. The two do not overlap, they are not stacked in my screenshot, the line is 15px below the text box.

    I've seen messages on the selection of objects using text boxes by rotating "selection of object by the path only, but clearly, this does not solve my problem.

    Untitled.jpg

    (ignore the fact that the cursor in the image is not a small point, mac screenshots hide the cursor so I photoshopped again to show where my cursor is actually on the screen)

    As you can see in the screenshot, there is a thin line under the title text that indicates it will be selected if the user clicks. The line, which is below the slider is not selected.

    Of course there are workarounds such as: text boxes locked, keeping the text on a separate layer and lock then the layer, do not put things near the bottom of the text boxes. But when you do the editorial work, I find one of these very boring alternatives.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Unfortunately, there is actually an invisible overlap: the square em from the text, which is independent of the size of the text block. at the moment I can't think in a reliable way around this.

  • Permission error - impossible to enumerate the objects in the container. Access is denied.

    I'm changing my library to my current user permissions and although some of my files are fine, a bunch of them throw the error message: "Permission error - impossible to enumerate the objects in the container. Access is denied. "When I try to change them. I can go in files and folders manually and edit them correctly, but it's a pain in the buttocks seen there are literally the * hundreds * of files that it is coming on.

    Any ideas on how to fix?

    I'm having the same problem, but try to include a file folder on a hard drive support separate than where I had installed windows 8. There are literally thousands of files. To your question:

    1 Yes

    2. Yes, and any other folder on the drive.

    3. to access the folder, I need permission!

    Thanks for your help, it is very frustrating.

    Here's how I solved my problem-
    1. on the root folder, right click, select Properties, select Security tab.
    2. click on advanced
    3. the window that opens should indicate to the current owner. Click on 'change '. Him "select user or group" pop up box appears.
    4. in the text box, type your user name (you should be an admin) and click the button "check names". Your name is replaced by the name of 'official' system (i.e., preceded by the name of the computer and the backslash).
    5. click on OK
    6. the box disappears, sending you back to the advanced security settings window.
    7. a new box appears under ownership, with the text 'Replace the owner of subcontainers and objects' check this box.
    8. I also selected the checkbox "Replace all entries authorization child object with entries permissions inheritable from this object", but I think that I had to run this twice - once with this checked and one without.
    9. make sure that 'everyone' appears in the Permission entries, if not, click Add. The same box that is displayed in step 4 appears again. Type everyone, click on "Check names", then "OK".
    9 valve apply

    I see also folder property can be changed to "everyone" - I have not tried to change all owners of my file to this, but doing so may eliminate the problem altogether if the drive is moved to another computer.

    I hope this helps someone, this problem and the lack of documentation has been quite aggravating.

    How about Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + B to switch between showing and hiding the bounding box?

    Absence of any (other) cause/cure, try the list:

    Sometimes, (some) things may fail or stop working for no apparent reason. When (other) possible reasons/remedies do not work, it is perhaps a kind corruption (temporary or permanent), or even preference settings which disturbs, which can be cured with something on the following list put in place in order to provide a catch-all solution for otherwise intractable cases. It starts with a few easy suggestions and safe) 1 and 2) for cases less serious and goes two ways 3) and 4) to reset the default preferences (easily but irreversibly and more laboriously but more completely and also reversible), then follows a list 5) various other possibilities, and it ends with a complete reinstallation 6). If no other suggestion doesn't work, or if no other suggestion appears, you can start on the list and decide how to go or who can apply.

    The following is a general list of things, try when

    (A) the question is not in a specific file,

    (B) you have a printer installed, connected and turned on if it's a physical printer (you can use Adobe PDF/Acrobat Distiller as a printer by default without the need to have a printer on, of course you will need to specify when you really need print on paper), and

    (C) It is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media (see below).

    You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically may be corrupted/inconvenient preferences); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    6 (A) uninstall (check the box to delete the preferences, if any), B) run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) and C) reinstall. It is important to use this step three way: otherwise, things may persist.

  • Selection of objects by crossing, no window

    Requires the object selection tool now allows you to select the object in the entire window, rather than just go through the object. I tried to hold ctrl, shift, and really anything else I can think of. Is it possible to use the select object tool and select both lines 30 +? I can't use the window as I would be by removing everything that surrounds the objects that I'm trying to delete.

    Thank you

    On a mac, using Acrobat DC: I found that Opt + drag allows me just to cross the edges of objects to select several objects.

    Using Acrobat XI, Opt and Cmd + drag, drag had the same effect of allowing me to select several objects just across borders, without having to draw a marquee around each of the objects.

    Alternatively, if you have Illustrator, you can edit the page using Illustrator. Select some objects (or objects with Cmd + A), then make a right click Change t with Illustrator.

  • By selecting multiple objects - change suddenly

    I swear to God that this morning I could SHIFT-click ON various objects to select. Now I can only select one. That's happened? Can someone help me understand this? I want to select several objects (text, images etc) and cannot do it anymore.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hello

    This could be the various scenarios that may cause this problem.

    1. Please make sure no objects are locked. You can unlock a object > unlock all on page.

    2. Please create a new site or a new page and check if Shift + click works for you.

    3. so what happens with the new file and new site also then restart the computer and check if it works.

    If the problem persists then please let me know which operating system you are using.

  • multiple selection of objects does not appear

    I use Adobe Illustrator CS6 on a Mac.  Usually, when I want to highlight several objects or simply click on one of the paths, then hold the SHIFT key, and select another.  Or I create a selection box and select what I want, and then press SHIFT and click on if there are roads that I want to exclude.

    Today, however, if I try to select several objects, rather than each illuminated object and show me that he selected or not selected, a large box surrounds the global zone boxing in the paths I have chosen, but it would light up individual objects.  This means that I can not tell if some of these objects are highlighted or all of them.  I'm just trying to figure out how to select things once again I can more easily tell what is and is not selected.  Thank you.

    SIS,

    How about Ctrl / Cmd + H, toggling to display > show/hide the edges?

  • error on the selection of object in ILLUSTRATOR CC

    Hi all, I have problem with object selection in illustrator CC, when I select the current object it will also choose the other object, I can not select the object I want, not on the group or the clipping mask... always to highlight both. It often happen when I've done so vector object. any help from you guys is so appreciated...

    Thank you

    It happened through so many versions that I remember most when I met first it.

    One thing works only occasionally when you get such a choice of "ghost";

    Create another object (a small square or other).

    Select it. Your new object and spirit will be selected at this point.

    Align using one of the alignment buttons, any.

    Immediately cancel the move (Cmnd/Ctrl + z) and deselect your new object. On the nine times out of ten the ghost selection will be gone as well. If so, you can remove your superfluous object and continue to work (until next time).

    It does not always work. But it is faster than a reboot when it does.

  • Illustrator of hanging or hesitating when I select an object

    Hey guys, I have a question, and I know I can't be alone on this.

    I got a problem for the last few months with Illustrator CC hesitant when I select an object. It happens randomly. I might be selection of text, a picture, a form, an anchor point, whatever it is.

    Here's what happens:

    I select an object with the direct Selection tool and (without maintaining the mouse button) move my cursor to the next object.

    Instead of being selected, there will be a noticeable delay, and after about half a second, the object that I selected just follow my cursor as if I had clicked and dragged, then released.

    It happens more often when I select multiple objects to make a gesture or a group or just something to a certain number of things, but it happens only with several objects. Whenever this happens, I have to cmd + z and reselect it. It's super annoying when I just spent a good amount of direct time by selecting some anchor points and I have to go all the way back and do more. It's absolutely destroy my workflow.

    Also, I know it's not hardware related.

    I have a new MBP 15 inch brand retina 2014. 16gigs ram, core i7, the whole shebang. Apple recently (yesterday) gave me this machine to replace one of the identical specifications, because I and they determined that shouldn't happen other things happening. Now, I do not think it is more that I have just opened illustrator for the first time, and whaddya know. I had a bunch of other problems with the other computer, and I thought it was just another symptom.

    I use illustrator all day. I have used it for years on less powerful machines. I have a dell of 2011 at home that I use now because of this problem. I am not anything do ram intensive, and that happens not only on the great illustrator documents. It happens in the Mavericks and Yosemite. I'm completely updated in all. I'm not using a fancy or wacom mouse, and it comes up with the trackpad as well.

    I disabled all my extensions and finally understood that this bug is related to BetterTouchTool, which is used to align windows on Windows. Too bad, because I like to have this option, but getting rid of it is better than having to constantly undo. I will update if the problem persists, but I can already see a significant improvement in performance.
