Chee Wee Tan,

I believe I had the same problem as you.

For my day-to-day computing, I login to my mac as a non-Admin user (what Apple calls a “Standard” user). I installed Adobe CS5.5 on my machine whilst logged in as standard (authenticating where necessary). It worked for a while and then stopped.

Anyway…. back to the question and the solution (or at least it worked for me !).

Quit all programs and log-off.
Logon as an Admin user.
Open programs.
Logoff
Login as normal.
Should work !

Kevin,

Thanks for that.

So basically I can’t move the location of the first vertex unless I re-import from Illustrator ? (if my incorrect terminology is an issue, see the little screenshot I’ve now posted just above yours 😉

Thanks for the answer to the reversing question.

Appreciate your time.

Regards

Tim

Dear Mr LaRonde,

Thank you for your reply. I’m sorry my wording was not to your liking, but there is a reason I am hiding away here in the After Effects basics forum (i.e. I am an After Effects newbie, if that was not apparent already !).

I guess my only choice, since I’m unable to use the correct words to express myself, is to go and take a small screenshot of the items I’m talking about and post it here. A picture is worth a thousand words as they say.

I’m off to sit in my newbie corner with a copy of After Effects for dummies….. ;-(

Lawrence,

I’m sure Jeff’s solution will work,although I’ve never had a chance to try it.

However another workaround I’ve used on occasions is to switch to another space (assuming you’ve got spaces enabled), and get the icon back that way.

Hi Carlo,

There’s always “vi” on the command line (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal).
(No, I’m not pulling your leg, I use vi,cat,grep and all sorts of other powerful command line stuff all the time ….)

The GUI app TextEdit can also be used (Applications -> TextEdit).

Otherwise, BBEdit or Textmate.

You might also want to perhaps look at an IDE such as Apple’s XCode, or NetBeans etc.

Good luck, and happy coding !
