LOST in Illustrator CS3 for Mac TOOLS PANEL!

I recently installed Adobe CS3 for Mac on an iMac G5 OS X 10.4.11.  Photoshop works very well without any problems.  However, in Illustrator, I can't my tools Panel to appear.   My menu in Illustrator drop-down 'WINDOW' has only the following options: 'New window', 'Minimize window', "bring all to front', 'Attributes', 'Info' and 'Type '.  The 'VIEW' drop has many options, but none seem to open the Toolbox. None of my drawing tools, tools, the cutting tools, tools moving etc are visible!

I uninstalled and then reinstalled CS3 without result.  I tried to reset the preferences of the Adobe Press "Command + Option + shift + control" at the launch of the Illustrator, a tip, I found online, but it also did not work.

Help, please!

Thank you!

That's what I think is wrong.

I think if you have installed HAVE three times, that you have also made an alias of the applications icon, or what you thin is an alias.

But what you probably have done is to make a copy of the application outside the application package.

If indeed you do not you run FRO a trash the alias alias and not and make a new one by holding down the command and option key when you drag the icon. What you probably was the only hold down the option key down which made a copy of the request outside the application package that might prevent these features from loading.

Now, I've heard also there is a software conflict which can cause this but I confess that I don't remember what it is.

  • Sanskrit fonts will not display correctly in Illustrator CS5 for Mac.

    I tried six different fonts Sanskrit characters but Illustrator CS5 for Mac does not display correctly all the characters from fonts to match hardware source on the Internet.  Compare the first screenshot (source Internet) to the second (rendered by CS5).

    Screen Shot 2015-05-15 at 12.08.20 PM.png


    Screen Shot 2015-05-15 at 11.41.18 AM.png


    Several characters, for example, do not make the same as the original material.  I use Illustrator CS5 for Mac under OS X Yosemite (version 10.10.3).


    I read that the rendering engine for Mac is (or was) ATSUI while Microsoft use Uniscribe (which may be more compatible with the Adobe software) but all my computers are Mac.


    Any advice?

    I tested with Illustrator CC - 2014 PC with preferences > Type > Language Options > Show CL Options enabled and it seems to work fine. View Adobe Devanagari is assigned by default. (same result with Illustrator CC-2014 on Mac with Yosemite 10.10.3). It also works with Sanskrit 2003, which seems to be the font used in the online sample.

  • I have a purchased copy of CS3 for Mac and want to upgrade to CS5 (I heard it was an upgrade option). Should what version of CS5 I download the upgrade? This is the full version of CS3 and the product key is available.

    I want to upgrade my version of the suite CS3 for Mac CS5. I heard that it was an offer of upgrade that I have an official version of the CS3 with product key. I was wondering what version of CS5 should I download and would cost how much the upgrade? It's as simple as download a trial version of the suite CS5, tapping my CS3 product key to receive the upgrade reduces and the discount even exist? Are there now that any other upgrade offers? I don't want to upgrade to CC.

    Adobe has only sell the latest version of the Creative Suite, which is CS6, so you can't buy CS5 more. Upgrades are also only available to CS6 CS5 so that CS3 would not benefit anyway.

    I'm afraid you're out of luck.

  • Lost Shopping App Store for Mac

    I lost a bunch of App Store for Mac purchases when my hard drive crashed. I got Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro X and the App Store has not any "knowledge" of this and makes me want to buy again. Assistance regarding the issue? I'm still able to make the Pages and Numbers, but does not show same I had GarageBand (which was free when I got my Mac!). Tried to contact Apple, but of course, nothing is returned. Hope that I have answered this because I really need to get back to editing, and I'm not going to throw another $500 for stuff that I have already 'own '! Thank you!!

    You must connect to the app store with the same apple ID used to buy applications initially. The applications are related to the ID, not the machine/drive.

  • I can't CS3 for Mac?

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Mac. I have a disc CS3 Extended for Windows and thinking that I could transfer the program to my iMac, so downloaded the prog for the Mac. However when I put the serial number it would not go any further.

    I also tried to download CS2 and run that, but who does not work either.    Would love to know if anyone of you knows if this is possible and if so, please tell me how!

    Thanks in advance,

    Helen

    You can not (as you did) use your serial number of victory with the mac installation files.

    among your options is to install a win on your mac (for example parallels) emulation that is unsatisfying IMO.

    you're actually not (legally) allowed to use the cs2 files, even if you could get them to work on your mac.

    You can also subscribe to the creative cloud and get the latest version of the Adobe, pricing and membership creative cloud plans | Adobe Creative Cloud

  • where can I get a CS3 for Mac update?

    Hello world

    New to the group, so take it easy, I have a Mac G4, Power PC. I have it all 'juiced' up and it works like a Mustang 429. Here's the problem, I can't upgrade to CS4 as you must be on an Intel Mac. So I thought... no problem, I'll pick up a Mac CS3 upgrade. I can't find them anywhere! I went to all my suppliers of Photo, EBAY, Amazon, Google search, all I can think about! There are a few things in CS3 that I really want. I was hoping to get them in CS4 and did not know the only part of an intell CS4 update. Help me if you can and thabks in advance.

  • migrate to Dreamweaver CS3 for mac new

    I can't reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 after a migration to a new Mac hardware.  He worked under Yosemite 10.10.5 on old hardware so probably that the migration process is the cause of the problems.

    Someone has solved this problem already?

    Thank you

    Lynda

    As I suspected that to happen due to migration was from a machine to another.

    We always advise to install applications from the beginning on a new machine, as in the installation process, it creates a lot of files on different locations on your computer.

    When you migrate from one machine to another machine the chances of broken link are higher due to any folder name has changed, the directory path or permissions.

  • Plugin errors in Illustrator CS5 for Mac

    I recently installed the CS5 Design Premium version on my work computer. Everything was fine in Illustrator, until today, when I tried to add a few older brushes, patterns, symbols in the presets folder. Illustrator is loading with tons of unknown errors, massive plugin errors. I removed everything except the originally installed presets. I then tried to reinstall Illustrator, but that made no difference. I need to remove Illustrator and then reinstall it?

    Time Machine does not work yet, due to what is a current Installer. I'm under permissions repair right now. Should I trash my prefs and start there? Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Yes, trash the prefs and clean also predefined in the two sites - directory hoem user folders and the folder of the program. The program may have copied on the global dir stuff in the user folder and custom library info can already be permanently added to the prefs, it may be looking for something that isn't there anymore.

  • Illustrator CS3 with Mac OSX 10.5.8

    I currently work with CS3 applications on my iMac G5 PowerPC, running OSX 10.4.11

    I have a good opportunity to buy and install an update to os x 10.5.5. I then plan to use Apple Software Update to bring it up to the latest version of the operating system, whidh I think is 10.5.8

    My only concern is if move to the more current OS will affect my use of CS3 applications somehow...

  • Is a manual download for Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1 and 8.1.1 for Mac?

    I've got CS3 Design Standard for Mac, which for the most part works very well on Yosemite, but the problem is that the Updater does not work anymore, so I can't update these programs to their latest versions.  I went to CS3 product download and downloaded from there, thinking that it would give me the latest versions.  Download Adobe provides the original versions of each application, not CS3 final revisions (maybe we can't install final revisions directly, so they need to provide the original and leave the client to update).  So I have to need to download them manually.  Final revisions of Photoshop CS3 for Mac and Illustrator CS3 for Mac for reasons I can't understand, Adobe download section (updates of the product), but shows no Acrobat Pro CS3 for Mac download!  [Review for the PS works, but the AI patch cannot be applied; but I would at least be updated Acrobat Pro kick].

    ( However, even If it can ' t lies in the Adobe Download Center, also on their site there is a manual download for Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 ()Adobe - Acrobat Professional: for Macintosh: Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 Professional update - English and French).  HOWEVER, I have 8.0, and we need to follow the path of 8.0 - > 8.1.1-> 8.1.2 The problem is that I couldn't find either of these intermediate versions

    Anyone know where on the Adobe site we can find these?


    [And please don't tell me that CS3 is not officially supported on Yosemite, etc.]  I know that.  [I'm just looking for a way to download for Adobe Acrobat Pro CS3 for Mac and do not understand why these downloads are available on the site of Adobe PS and AI, but not for the AP.]
