• Windows 8.1 - icon of folder/files appearing as black square and Panalpina Start/Control is not a white screen

  Hello

  In my system, almost all (90%) icons of the folders and files have become the black square boxes. In addition, start button does not respond, control panel is a white screen. However, all files and programs are open and running normally like MS office, Chrome, PDF, etc.

  I tried to boot from USB (which I have no DVD player in my system), it is not read it thus in error. Also it does not "cmd" as an administrator.

  I deleted the iconcache files of C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer ' as suggested by http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-desktop/windows-81-desktop-icons-are-black-squares/b8ca17eb-44b6-4bbe-8945-d7499798e408.

  Hope someone could help me.

  Hello Asif,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

  1. You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
  2. What anti-virus is installed in the system?
  3. What is the exact error message you get when you start your system from a USB/DVD?

  The question could arise for various reasons, including the corruption of system files, virus infection or a specific corruption of the user profile. In order to diagnose the problem, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1:

  I suggest to start your system in safe mode and then try to run the elevated command prompt. If you are able to do it, then try to run a scan of the file system (CFS) auditor to check corruption of system files in the system. SFC scan will search for system files corrupted on the computer and fix them.

  1. Press the Windows key + X, click prompt (Admin).
  2. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

  For more information, refer to this link:

  Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

  If the problem persists, try the following method.

  Method 2:

  You can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is free of infections:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  
  Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
  The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  If the problem persists, proceed to the next method.

  Method 3:

  I suggest to create a new user (Local account) with the permission of the Administrator profile and check the account number. Make sure that you follow the steps mentioned in the article: create a Local account and let us know the results.

  Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

• Why my Illustrator file linked with an opacity mask to my Indesign file a washed out appearance?

  I have an indesign this work of Illustrator related uses of the file. The illustrator files contain opacity masks, and when I import into my layout indesign they give the bottom of the pages a washed out appearance. I noticed that the page in my project Indesign who doesn't have opacity masks linked seems fine.

  So, I know that the opacity mask is performing the indesign document somehow but I don't know how to solve the problem. I tried merging the texture in the opacity mask, flattening of the illustration illustrator, paste the illustrator shape directly on the page, save the work as a PNG; but nothing seems to work.

  Here is a picture of the page with the related work.

  

  Here is one of how the page should look like.

  

  Here is the configuration of my illustration illustrator opacity mask. Its basically a group of white textures I pasted in the opacity mask. It's a single layer.

  

  If anyone has any ideas or ideas, I would be happy. I hope I have provided enough details.

  Thank you for all your help. I thought about it. I did the background texture in photoshop and converted to grayscale. Turns out I should have converted to CMYK. Once I did this everything unified in my indesign document.

  Kind of a moment of c ' h but good.

  Thanks again for all the quick responses.

• Particular Illustrator file links all appear as the large pixels in Indesign? (broken links)

  Hello

  I ran into one of those questions where I don't know what to even Google to try to resolve this problem. I made an illustrator file that all of a sudden connect correctly in InDesign, there a lot of art cards in there (21) that the link to the document number and this strange group of pixels now appears in all of them, put an end to any progress.

  (Inserted below, picture left image)

  

  If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks in advance.

  The file is saved with the PDF compatibility? And if the link is broken or out of date, you must remedy.

• Illustrator can not read the linked Photoshop files.

  For the last few weeks, all my files with linked Photoshop files were unable to open. I must point out that they contain all of the Photoshop files with spot channels and are a mix between CMYK and RGB. Spot channels are what I need. I use files PSD place archaic DCS2.0 .eps files to save space on the disk. For almost a year which was absolutely perfect, no problem. Now I can't open a file without getting an error 'File can not be read' and then we close the file immediately, without the possibility to recreate a link to a new file or anything like that. This results in me having to create a new DCS2.0 file and the original illustrator file from scratch. VERY FRUSTRANT and plenty of time to say the least.

  This does not happen with the psd files with no channel spot, than those who have channels spots.

  Illy is why all of a sudden?

  I have clients waiting to draw accurate repetition of their designs, and now they will be slightly off because I have to redo all the files. I dread the day that I find one that can not be done again.

  Operating system: Win7 x 86

  CS5 Design Premium

  Illustrator v15.0.2

  If you need more information, please let me know - I would like ot fix this and back using psd with spot-it channels files was not only allowing me to save space, but also for letting me use the transparency and was faster to load/save.

  Did you add Pantone + color system to your color book?

  I had the same problem and it is solved by removing any reference Pantone + book color and remove my prefrences illustrator. This can mean relocation of illustrator. Aparently Illustrator can read only a system of colors at once and if there is a spot color that does not recognize the color book that he will not place the image.

• Relink Illustrator files problem

  I have never seen something like this:

  I have a project created in CS4 (exact version unknown) outside my company and I need to continue work on the project.  Project active and falls overboard on a firewire drive.  Nearly 400 GB of things, just so check before I start copying to my system, I open the project (CS4) directly from drive and quickly check things.  Everything seems correct.  Copy the contents of the disc.  The next day, I open the project in CS5 on my system.  CS5 informs me that my images is missing, so I create a link to a file and AE is everything.  However, almost all (but not all) Illustrator files are relinked as the "right size".  It's the best I can describe it.  Masking performed on the files of the AI is completely wrong, the animations do not work for this reason, etc.  I have however, OK I'll try opening in CS4.  Same deal.  So I gave the firewire drive and opens the project from here to make sure I wasn't crazy.  All right.  ?  So, I'm crazy.

  My next thought was that the import settings I have last used to import as a composition must be streaked things up.  But I have no other choice when the restoration of the links, so I imported a file multilayer from another project as a model by using the same sizes layer then reissue of links (has not fixed) and then imported as model using the size of the document (has not set). I tried the re-establishment of links to the files directly from the firewire drive and who did not work in CS4 or CS5.

  What is MOST confusing to me, it is that if I open the original project of CS4 out the firewire drive and create a link to any file .ai a SAME files on my system drive (in the same directory structure, etc.) the problem appears.  If I open the original project off the firewire drive in CS5, the project is fine too, but I have same problem with the reissue of links to .ai files on my system.  So for the moment I'm working off the firewire drive.  Is not ideal for sure, but I get.

  I would consider any thought that someone wants to offer upwards.  Maybe I missed something obvious, but I have made similar plans, many times and not seen any problems like that.

  More details:

  Quad 2 x 2.8 GHz Mac 10.6.4

  6 GB OF RAM

  CS4 9.0.2.42

  CS5 10.0.1.19

  The customer Firewire drive: LaCie 1 TB external

  Location of the storage system: shared Fibre channel RAID

  Project has ProRes 422 HQ 1920 x 1080 29.97 QT images and Illustrator files as assets

  Don't know how or what version of .ai files have been created in

  Illustrator files were masked/animated so when I recreate a link to files on my system as above, the masks are all false vs the dimensions of the file have

  Each Illustrator file I open is a simple document layer (there are hundreds, no not ALL tried, but everyone in the project's single layer, not comp)

  Composition import with layer to keep the size of the document OR makes no difference in this issue

  It's actually one of the eternal bugs in handling the files HAVE version AE AE version, complicated by possibly different versions of the Adobe PDF library... Reissue of links it of just the same as loading from scratch files and resets the info box enclosing, used to determine the size of the AIs. Have you tried to collect the project to the new medium AE location instead of copying, just outside the program? This might work. Desp as I see no easy way to fix this. You would have to rework the files HAVE or their scale in AE to match the original work...

• Linking of indesign and illustrator files

  Hello

  I was wondering if it was possible to link files between Illustrator and Indesign and have an update in real time whenever I have to save the file, that I'm working on.

  I would work on several designs on separate Illustrator files and would need files Indesign update accordingly when I save the Illustrator files.

  Is something like this?

  (sorry if this is a stupid question, tried searching online and on the forum but can't find anything)

  Files Illustrator that are placed in an InDesign document updates automatically if the Illustrator file is opened from the InDesign document.

  Otherwise, the link will display as changed in the links Panel, and you can choose the update in the Panel menu.

  In addition, when you open an InDesign file that changed the links, you will be offered a dialogue to update at this time links here.

• I have problems with anchors named in my htm file. I clearly identify them as being in the document (ie., internal links within the file).  When I preview the file in a browser, the links point to my hard drive, which is totally false. What do I need

  I have problems with anchors named in my htm file. I clearly identify them as being in the document (ie., internal links within the file).  When I preview the file in a browser, the links point to my hard drive, which is totally false. What should I do to change it?  I use DreamWeaver 2004 on a PC.

  You will need to correct the links that begin with "file".

  Now that your site has been defined, you just delete the bad links and DW left write the good ones for you.

  Click on the yellow folder on the property inspector, and then select the target page.

  

  If your site is small, you can edit the links manually (remove the part in red)

  content.htm file:///C:/desktop/localRootFolder/subfolder/subfolder/images/

  It would be useful that post you your code on the page so that we can see if you use the old technique or new for these links.

• When the path is missing from the Illustrator file, the problem occurs

  When the path is missing from the Illustrator file, it keeps duplicating well the path is absent from and cannot do anything else in the file

  Sorry about that - it happens to PSD files too. The solution is either to the back file where she there or, if you do not have the file, the set (of the same type) _any_ file in the old location renamed the old file name just if she continues to complain.

  Or, if you don't need the project, just leave Ch and delete project - it will create a new on the next launch.

  If you know in advance that you will be willing to delete the files to work on disk that are still referenced, you can avoid this problem by selecting the puppet in the project Panel, and unchecking the option "Auto-sync with the work" in the properties panel. Manual synchronization is then possible to check and uncheck this option.

  We have already fixed this bug here at the factory in Seattle, so it won't be a problem in Preview 2 and later versions.

• How to prepare an Illustrator file for printing white text on a black t-shirt?

  There is no graphics, just text. The finished product is going to be a white text on a red t-shirt.

  What are the steps of preparation of an Illustrator file for this purpose, and what should I do before sending it to the printer off?

  Thank you.

  I call or send your printer and him asking the same question. There are several ways to indicate a white ink, it would be good to know their preference. My guess is that they will ask you to provide a PDF file with black text and indicate somewhere what to print white ink. They might prefer a .eps file. An illustration of a white T-shirt red type in the desired location and size would also help ensure that you get what you want.

• Quality problem with Illustrator files containing transparencies

  Im having a problem with some of my Illustrator files (related in Indesign). They look flawless in illustrator, however when I place images in indesign I find that their resolution is subpar. The performance of display is to display the highest quality and only the parts of the image seem to be affected. More than a few of the trasparencies seem to have this problem. I removed the transparency in the image below, and the image seems to work correctly when relinked. You can see below, I used a transparent circle to call an area, but he has a messed up way wiith the quality of illustration (although in some of the region). The problem is causeing some of my lines to become pixalated and not even in the area below the transparentcy. Any advice you could give me would be great its been giving me a headache.

  

  Save as PDF in Illustrator using the PDF/X-4 settings and place the resulting in InDesign PDF file. See if it improves your results!

• Problem opening Illustrator file created in a newer version

  I am trying to open an image file that was sent to me by someone who uses a newer version of the AI, I.  I'm working out of CS4.  I also work out of Windows if it matters.

  When I try to open it, a window pops up telling me she was created in a newer version and data loss can occur, I would like to import?  I click OK and then get a message which reads. "The document contains PDF objects which have been reinterpreted."  I click OK again, and it seems that the file is open.

  Except when it is open there is no image displayed.  He was in the lower left corner reads as follows:

  It is an Adobe Illustrator that has been saved without content PDF file.  Instead or open this file in other applications, it should be re-recorded in Adobe Illustrator with the option 'Create PDF Compatible file' lit.  This option is in the dialog box Options of Format native Illustrator, which appears when you save an Adobe Illustrator file by using the Save as command.

  I know that the image is there I can see it in preview on my computer.

  Someone at - it ideas about what I could try to get this file to open it?

  When to open a new Illustrator file accesses the part file PDF.

  Explanation (please look at to understand) https://vimeo.com/117691712

  The preview of the file on Windows is something different. It is not vector data, but just a glimpse.

  Ask the person who sent the file to downsave to CS4 for you. Will be the best solution, because the PDF content is flattened in every possible way.

• problem of cs6 Illustrator files for the web conversion

  I have designed some simple logos in Illustrator CS6 and convert .ai files to appear on a Web site, but when I use the Save for Web feature and preview the files GIF or PNG - 8s, I created that they are fuzzy and not a pretty good quality, even when seen at actual size. I realize there will be differences between the vector graphics in Illustrator and the images of pixels on a Web site of the office, but these are more that a minimal adjustment - they look out of focus. I'm doing something wrong? I create Illustrator files that are too large or too small? Or am I convert art into GIF or PNG-8 files are the right size or shape? I have searched the forums and the web for a solution, but found nothing on this. Any help would be appreciated.

• black squares in the symbols

  The latest version of Illustrator seems to be broken with respect to the symbols.

  I'm the black squares around symbols or symbols in my illustration using Illustrator 19.1.0 2015.1.0 release.

  The only solution I've found for this is that if I go back to a previous version of Illustrator, luckily I had a copy of 17 on my mac.

  Activation of the support for the graphics card or turning off makes no difference.

  I draw cards for a life so use the symbol tool a lot so it is a big problem for me.

  If I managed to get a symbol on my work which sometimes works if I use the symbol stainer tool every time

  It converts the symbol to a horrible black box, see the video below.

  Interestingly, it won't let me even to cancel the problem in Illustrator, I simply don't save the file.

  Problem of symbol illustrator - YouTube

  Hi guys, maybe it's the solution to this problem, but I'm not 100% sure that the new 2015 to Illustrator. 2 version 0 guard quit smoking.

  In any case, it seems that finally the tool symbol and the small black squares have been shipped to history. I just downloaded the new version of Illustrator 2015. 2. 0 - 19.2.0

  and the symbol tool now seems to work.

  Not at 100%, this would confirm as Illustrator keeps hanging on the backup of the automatic backup.

  I don't know if it's the answer to the horrible little black squares in our beloved symbols.

  The crash is quite another question.
