Unable to transform objects in Illustrator 2019 on macOS

Every time I create a shape I'm unable to transform or rotate it. When I select it, I get solid blue boxes on all the corners and I have to transform it by right clicking and using the transform feature.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out and sharing the details. As Ton suggested above, you need to turn on the Bounding Box. Take a look at this help article for more details: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/transforming-objects.html

 

Let us know if you have any further query, we’re here to help. 

 

Regards,

I'm using Mac OS and Illustrator CC 2019 I selected all the shapes in this image, When I place the curser close to the corner I just get that little box icon.
