I have a MacOS Sierra and I just notice that
the Eyedropper don't work in Illustrator CC (The lates version, whatever it is on right now)

I already deleted like 5 folders on the preference folder and still don't pick up any from

text to text, like color, sizes, font, etc.

I had been looking for answers and can't find anything on the forums

If you know of any, please let me know

Thanks

    Hi,

    Open your Adobe illustrator Application while opening it Press cmd+shift+alt key from your keyboard and It will reset the illustrator to default setting then your eyedropper tool will be work.

    Thank.

    Guess what happened?

    I had to reset AGAIN the preference file because it wasn't working again ...

    Is this a problem with Illustrator or Mac?

    This is odd

    Is SOLVED

    I think that Pressing cmd+shift+alt key did the trick

    Thanks a lot to all of you!

    I did what you told me and it picks ONLY (in text) the color but NOT the sizes of the text

    and that is EXACTLY why I love Illustrator.
    Any more ideas?

    Hi, Try this method to pick the colors and values.

    Illustrator Eye Dropper not working - Fix

     

      Just spent a bit of time fighting with Adobe Illustrator CC on Mac OS X trying to figure out why Adobe Illustrator would not let me sample colors from a raster image using the eye dropper. I thought it was my clipping mask, or maybe a transparent frame, but it turns out this is a really simple fix. Ever since Adobe has provided the ability to place images into your Illustrator documents, they let you use the "link" setting on import. When you save as an EPS the images become embedded. Since the image I was sampling was not "embedded" I had to open my eye dropper tool properties (double-click the eye dropper tool icon in the toolbar) and change the Raster Sample Size to an average rather than point sample. In this instance, 3x3 Average (see the image). After making this change I could sample the colors from the image without issue.

    Note: If you're working on a CMYK document and sampling colors from a placed RGB image the colors will be in RGB.

    Did you double click the Eyedropper in the Toolbar to see if the right options are checked?
