I use a lot of Adobe PSE programs, especially PSE 9. All of a sudden PSE 9 became dysfunctional. The cursor won't respond. Do I have to buy PSE 9 again ?

I use a lot of Adobe PSE products (photography) especially PSE 9.  All of a sudden, the cursor on PSE 9 began to malfunction.  It won't respond to some of the tools, it'll pick the wrong tool, etc. Do I jave to rebuy another new version of PSE 9 or simply move on ?

Reset the tools. Click on the little arrow, top left, on the option bar of one of the tools. That may fix it.
If not, suggest that you reset preferences to default.

Step 1. Hold down the Alt + Ctrl + Shift keys as you click on the icon to open Elements. When asked if you want to delete the settings file, say yes.
Step 2. Reset the preferences as above.
Step 3. Close Elements and let the file regenerate.

    The scaling selection using SHIFT doesn't seem to be working for me all of a sudden.......how can I resolve ?
    Specifically, when I select and object I used to be able to hold SHIFT while re-sizing the object and keeping it in scale.
    All of a sudden, I don't have that option as my SHIFT key doesn't seem to activate within AI

    B,
    You may have something disturbing Illy so she gets confused, see Item 7 in 5) below for usual suspects, or you may have what appears to be a preference corruption, see 1) - 4) and 6) below.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • The cursor won't work in Firefox quite often without my restarting the program

    When I am on Firefox quite often the cursor won't highlight anything or allow me to enter any text. I have to quit the program and restart it. Any suggestions?
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == 2 weeks ago

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    You bought programs for ios devices.  The Mac is a different platform.
    Ios programs do not work on your computer.

  • After the latest update of Itunes I can no longer use it. Windows Error 127 and restore Itunes is the message I get. Do I have to download it again fro m the Apps store?

    Do I have to download Itunes again from the App Store after updating my original I can no longer use it.
    Keep getting the error message Windows error 127, restore ITunes. This has not affected my IPad at all.
    Hope someone can help.
    thanks Jean

    Hello Jean,
    Based of what you have provided then I would say yes download iTunes from Apple’s website and also make sure that your version of Windows is up to date as well. Take a look at the article below to walk you through that plus some other steps necessary to get you back to using iTunes.

  • Firefox won't start. The program is running in the task manager processes, but the application won't open. I have restarted the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled, now I am lost!!!

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop running Windows Vista Home edition. Firefox was working properly just as it has for years. All of a sudden when you click on the icon, nothing appears. I open task manager, no applications show. I go to processes, there is firefox32. I kill the process and start over...endless loop. I shut the computer down and restarted. Same issue. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled, same issue. I idon't know what else to try.

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • PSE 9  Text seems wider all of a sudden

    I'm working in PSE 9 with text and it seems all of a sudden my fonts are typing with wider spacing.  I know there is no kerning or even full "justify" text alignment settings in Elements.  Anyone know what's causing this or how I can adjust?

    Thank you!  Of course I'm asking the forums from my work computer.
    I'll be sure to try this when I get back on my Mac at home!

  • When I try to type in my password the cursor doesn't respond.  What can I do to be able to use my iPad again?

    I updated my iPad yesterday.  Not sure if this relates to my problems today.
    I have turned the iPad on and off again. No change.
    Any ideas?

    Thank you for the info re. the main menu. Your answer I used worked; however, the menu bar all the way across is solid black. The only way I can find out the names on the menu is to point the cursor from left to right over the black bar to find "file" "edit" tools", etc. What do I need to do to get these menu titles to be seen?
    As regarding the GMail --the menu bar used to have an envelope symbol which was white and outlined in red. That disappeared. I googled "mail.google.com" to try to get back my email. This didn't work. I then tried to get a different email address and password--after 8-19 attempts, this never worked. My other email (sbcglobal.net) has never returned. So I don't know where that went or how to get it back

  • I've been using firefox as my default brower for a year and all of a sudden when I click on it , it won't open.

    Google chrome will open as will internet explorer but not firefox.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • If i use time machine on lion 10.7, can i put all my info back on mavericks from the time machine i did on lion ?

    Hi everyone, its my first time using time machine, i want to change from lion to mavericks, but i want to know how that actually works, and if i back up my stuff from lion would it match and would mavericks know what am trying to do here !?.... like i want to have all the sime that i do on my lion OSX but On Mavericks OSX

    If you are going to install Mavericks on your existing Mac then you don't need to use Time Machine.  It's good to have a Time Machine backup but when you install Mavericks all of your personal files/documents are left intact and are unaffected.  Only the operating system files and updated applications are modified on your system.
    You may want to consider keeping your Lion backup and setting up the Mavericks backup on a new external hard drive.

  • I used to be able to open pdf-files but then all of a sudden I have problem opening them. Why? I have already tried all the steps in Troubleshooting.

    I have also recently installed Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional. Could that be the reason?

    Because you had the printer connected to Windows, the print queue on your Mac was for this connection. With you moving the printer away from the Windows computer, the print queue on the Mac will no longer work and will show offline. So for the new connection of the printer you have to create a new print queue.
    Now the question is; how is the printer connected to the Mac. If it is connected by USB to the Mac then it should appear in the Default Add Printer view. If it is connected to the Mac via some other method, then could you reply with how it is connected.
    If it is connected to the Mac by USB then the most likely cause for the printer not appearing in the Default Add Printer view is thenUSB printer cable. So try disconnecting it and reconnecting it or even try another USB printer cable.

    My IMAC has a 10.6 operating system and I am trying to learn how to use the cloud to store pictures and upload files etc from my iphone.  Do I need to upgrade my operating system and how do I do that?

    You need to upgrade = purchase Lion in order to use iCloud on your iMac.  I use Dropbox with Snow Leopard.  No need to upgrade.

  • I have the iphone 4, i want in intall the update for ios 6. it says that i need 2.4 GB, is the update going to use all of that space? that is the only amount of space available i have left on my phone.

    i would like to update my iphone 4 to the ios 6. i have 2.4 GB available and it says that in order to update my phone i need that much GB available. If i download this update is it going to use all of the remaining GBs that i have left? or will i still be left with 2.4 GBs?

    From my experience, it doesn't. It will download the file, then will have to extract the file for installation, and after that, delete everything not needed anymore. That's what seemed to happened to me.

  • Why can't you use airdrop between all apple devices?!just got the iPad air, and was hoping to have the ability to airdrop images from the mac to the iPad....and you can't do that?! c'mon apple!!Whats going on?!

    Is there any way to use Airdrop between Imac and Ipad air?
    I cant quite believe thatthe two are not interlinked!!? or am i missing something? i can pick up iphone on the ipad, ipad on the iphone but pick neither up on the imac or the imac on the ipad or iphone. Can anyone shed any light on this?

    AirDop on the Mac is a different tech than AirDrop on the iPhone and iPad.  At this time, there is no interaction between thew different AirDrops.
    It is a little confusing that they are called the same, but are in fact different.
    Why Apple did this, I can't say.  Maybe in the future it will be possible.
