  • I have Wacom Intuos 4, and for some reason pen pressure isn't working with PSE 10

    I can still use wacom tablet pen to draw in Photoshop Elements 10, but I am frustrated because I could not get lines thinner and thicker with more pressure I apply with the pen like I could with Photoshop Elements 7 - and I had already checked "size"  in the tablet setting in PSE 10.  I also made sure I set up my Wacom Tablet Properties to apply to Photoshop Elements 10, and I still can't vary the lines like I want.   Any suggestions?  (also, could it be because I unwittingly bought and installed  34 bits PSE 10 in my 64-bit computer with Window 7  - is that what is preventing PSE 10 from making lines thin and thick with pen pressure?) 
    Thanks for your help.  

    photodrawken, I went to Wacom website and looked up the latest driver.  I see Driver 4.60 for Windows -- will that work on my 64 Windows 7?   (The information didn't mention which Windows, but did warned not to install it on Window Vista 64.)

    Hi, Dave.
    If you're using the BlackBerry browser, you can't configure anything to bypass the RIM servers.  I believe you may do so by using the Opera browser, but I haven't tried it myself so cannot comment with authority.
    I hope that clears up the issue for you.

  • HT4059 I have internet, and it works for everything, but for some reason my ibooks isn't loading my searches.

    I am trying to buy some books on my Ibooks, but For some reason it won't work! It will say it's loading my search, and never give me results. It will, however, load if i press the "buy" on a sample i previously downloaded. Why is this, and how can i fix my search bar? i've tried to power off then power on again, and nothing is working.

    Let's try a reset for now:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT1338 I am trying to download java onto my macbook pro, but for some reason this function isn't recognizing the internet.  The error message insists that I am not connected but I am.  I have tried this through both safari and firefox

    Sorry I didn't realize the above was just a subject line.
    I have been trying to download java for my macbook pro, but for some reason the function is not recognizing the internet.  I am on and have checked several times .... I have checked through both safari and firefox but to no avail.  Thanks for any help anyone can give.

    Not really a reply just some added info:
    This is the error message I get saying the internet is not on, but clearly as I can send this message it has to be:
    To open “Java Preferences,” you need to install a Java runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.
    I am connected through Wi-fi if that makes a difference.

  • For some reason Lightroom 2 has stopped working correctly.

    As of this morning I can't even select all and export files to my laptop any more.
    Prior to this I was having problems with selecting all and adding a label. Even though all pics were highlighted, only the first file updates and I need to individually update the label on each file, even though they are all highlighted. I'm very busy and this is very frustrating - is there an update to correct this?

    That was a problem with exporting to my desktop, not my laptop

  • For some reason my prepaid amex doesnt work on app store .

    It tells me that im entering a wrond security code . so i tryed few more times and im sure im entering it right . But it still doesnt work

    You cannot use prepaid cards with the iTunes/Mac App Store. You must use a credit/debit card issued by a bank in the same country where you live, with a billing address for the account in the same country. If you wish to buy cards, then you need to buy iTunes Gift Cards sold in your country.

  • HT5085 Hey. Using iPhone 6 with an israeli account at Thailand. For some reason iTunes radio is not working. Please help

    Thanks a lot

    If you are in Thailand then you cannot use the Israeli store, you have to be in a country to use its store.

  • So ive downloaded a few songs recently, and for some reason they play about 4-5 second or half way through then skip to the next song. Why is this?

    I dont know why this would happen. Its happened to a few songs. i pay the full price for them and when i go to play them, they skip to the next song shortly after. Please help.

    If those are purchased tracks (from ITS) then this is an old problem, and a continuing one.
    The two most common fixes are either to work through ITS Support and get different copies of those tracks (they will never work correctly on the Shuffle as they are, and might actually get worse with time), or go through a process of burning those tracks off to a CD and then reimporting them back into iTunes.
    Both of these have been discussed at length in these and other forums. Search for those threads and see what you want to try.

  • Can't remember password. Security ? (DOB) isn't correct for some reason. Email doesn't come to current email (might be old work email).  Help!

    I got my iphone & ipad many years ago.  My ipad was stolen and I had to set up a new user ID for some reason.  But all my old purchases are on my old ID.  When I try to do the reset password it gives option for security question or email.  Security question is my DOB which I obviously know but it tells me it is wrong.  When it emails me, it doesn't show up in my inbox (maybe it was my old work address when I originally set it up).  How can I get in so I can access to all the stuff I bought before my ipad was stolen?  Can I merge the two apple IDs?  Help!

    If you have a rescue email address on your account then have you checked the inbox and spam folder on that email account as well ? If you haven't (the reset email would go to your primary email address if you don't) or its not there, and you've tried requesting the reset email again, then try contacting Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset the email for you.

    You can't merge accounts, nor transfer content between accounts. What you might be able to redownload will depend upon whether the items are still in your country's store (audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), and if you've moved countries since buying them. What you can redownload will show in the Purchased tabs in store apps on an iOS device, and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on a computer's iTunes. Redownloading an account's past purchases may tie a device or computer to that account for 90 days : iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.
