Elements 11 - Brush tool not working when using layer mask

My brush tool won't work when using layer mask in PS Elements 11. I also have Elements version 10 installed and there it works fine. If I do the exact same proces in version 11 nothing happens.
Is this a bug or has something changed in the proces?
Please help.
Thanks.

Make sure you have the mask thumbnail selected - it will be highlighted in blue.

Photoshop CC. Colour selection not working when using alt and brush.

Hi, Photoshop CC. Windows 8.1 64 bit. Colour selection not working when using alt and brush. I have tried rebooting and other things like closing swatch panel etc.
The alt key is otherwise OK. It's not the recent upgrade from Win 8 to 8.1 (5 days ago) because the colour selection facility was working yesterday. Any ideas.

I'd say things sound desperate enough to try resetting Preferences
Reset Preferences
Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop
If that fails, we need to know your operating system?
Do you have a full CC subscription, or by apps do you mean Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom?
Another other information that might pertain ?

My brush tool erases pixels when used on layer mask

my brush tool erases pixels when used on layer mask instead of blocking out segments

Is the double frame around the Mask in the Layers panel?
Are you painting with black?
Is the Mode set to Normal in the Brush Options bar?
If your answer to these 3 questions is Yes, a logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

Lenovo S8-50LC Wlan(WiFi) Does not work when use Sim Cart(3G)

Hi
Tablet Lenovo S8-50LC
Wlan(WiFi) Does not work when use Sim Cart(3G).
What is the solution for this problem?
Build Number : TABS8-50LC_S000200_150121_ROW
SoftWarw Version : TABS8-50LC_150121

Right, but if you have the SIM in the tablet and you put the tablet in airplane mode, does wifi work then? If so, it may be a bad SIM. Do you have another SIM you can try?

Enter Key Not Working When Using Text Tool

For some reason, my enter key has stopped working when using the text tool. Instead of making a soft return to a new line, it simply commits the type. What is going on here?
I'm using a desktop and CS3.

there are 2 enter keys in key board
if u enter main key board enter, sentence will go to next line
In case u enter the key available in rightside of the key board , in the cluster of numericals, the type tool is committed.

Brush tool not working on mask.....

Can't seem to get brush tool to work on mask.
Duplicated a layer and applied multiply blend mode. Don't want effect of blend mode on entire image but can't get the brush tool to work on mask. I have made sure than I am working on the mask and not the image itself. Exposure is at 100% and have tried it with shadows, midtones and highlights. I'm probably overlooking something that is fairly obvious but can't figure it out. Any one know what I'm doing wrong?

yes, you are, that's not the Brush tool, you are using either the Burn or Dodge tool. The Brush tool is higher up in the Tools panel:

Why does diadem intellisense not work when using scriptinclude or for global object

I have a script with a different classes in it (scripted 1). When I create an object of a class in the script 1 intellisense works. Intellisense is when you type name of the object created from a class it shows all the possible variables and functions contained in that object. But when I write another script and use scriptinclude(scripted 1) the intellisense does not work. I also tried a global object and intesllisense does not work. Is there a way to get intellisense to work when using scriptinclude? I am working with version 2012.

Here is more information on the issue.

Microphone not working when using a phone call, Microphone not working when using a phone call

Microphone is not working when i use my iphone 4, first day when i installed a iOS 7 , was all good, second day this happened. Please help me. When i use a Viber microphone working. I think this is not a hardwear problem.

Hi Mike
That was very helpful thank you.
I did as you suggested and found the "switch" was already turned on green. I swiched it off waited a while then turned it back on and microphone was back in use in viber. I have a sneaky feeling I may have to do this again in the future. I am not aware that I did anything that led to the microphone going off, but having said that I have only had the phone for a few days so may have done something when checking it out.
The phone has been a lot of fun after replacing my ancient Nokia with it. That Nokia worked in Morse code!
Best wishes
Rob

Keyboard backlighting not working when using Windows in Boot Camp

Hi, I'm posting this for a friend with a new Macbook Air. He says that his keyboard backlighting does not work when he is using it for Windows (don't know which, but probably Vista). Any ideas why? Thanks. Gary

Install all the drivers needed when running boot camp - try for example inserting a DVD - then press the eject key - See if it comes out - If it doesn't install all the drivers - try Control Panel - If not try re-installing your version of Windows.
