Brush Tool Not Always Working As Should

For whatever reason periodically my brush tool when in use will not work accurately and instead be off of where I am using it...say I am working on an eye it will paint right below the eye. It is weird and seems to happen enough to be frustrating and for no apparent reason and am not sure if my Wacom tablet driver could be coming into play or not either. Anyone else having this happen to them? I actually thinks it happens with my clone tool too....
Thanks.

I have run into this and some other weird behaviors, such as the anchor points on a path turn into weird little diamond shapes. I suspect this has something to do with OpenGL. Maybe some buffer is full.
My solution has been to quite PS, run some maintenance, restart. The maintenance I run is Leopard Cache Cleaner. I repair permissions, clear some caches, and restart. This fixes those weirdnesses.
I don't know if it's necessary to do all those steps. Maybe fixing permissions and restart would do it.

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.

In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

I Created an adjustment (Curves) layer and did the curves adjustment. Then I did an Edit Fill (Normal Mode, 100% Opacity and Use: Black).
I then try to use the brush tool, but it doesn't work. I've done this hundreds of times before and suddenly it's not working. Rebooted the system, but that didn't help.
I know how to do a screen shot, but it doesn't paste onto this screen. How do I get that to you?
thanks for your help

Can I not add images to my itunes from Google images or other search engines as when I click get artwork it does not always work

Can I not add images to my itunes from Google images or other search engines as when I click get artwork it does not always work. I used to be able to do this.

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

Web Intelligence is not always working well

i found web intelligence is not always working, sometime, when i try to open a document, it takes so long, sometimes, it is fast, sometimes when i try to refresh the report, it gives me error, i am wondering if someone knows what could cause this kind of issue? is it proxy? or something else?

Tara,
there are many factors that can cause slow performance. In those cases where it is sometimes fast, it may be due to caching -- another user recently requested the same report and the report is in the server's cache, so instead of running the report from the start it sends the cache to you. In other cases there may be no cache built up so you get stuck waiting for cache and your report comes up slowly. There are a couple of techniques for tracking down slow performance, but mostly it happens due to either a database problem or an overworked applications/web server, or poor communication/LAN/Network lines. Depending on your expertise you'll gravitate to checking that aspect out first and investigating one of the aspects to see where a bottleneck is getting produced. Another technique is to add -trace to your service startups to add more verbose messages to your logs. Adding trace will help you to see more of what is going on in the background. I guess it's a matter of digging in and following your instincts until you can nail down the culprit.
Thanks,
John

LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work.

LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work. Running a Mac, 10.6.8, I am cleaning up hard drives, organizing old files. There are times lightroom 4.2 (and before) does not recognize already imported raws and does not gray them out. These are backed up cards and folders of of raw images. Why is the "do not import selected duplicates" check box not working???!!!

There's a known (and old) bug when duplicate identification fails on photos
that have been imported from another catalog.

Bottom button is not always working.

My Iphone bottom button does not always work. Is there a way to fix that.

You mean your home button?
If it intermittently works, then you either have to get it cleaned out or fixed. Back up your iPhone and take it into an Apple Store.

The Back arrow does not always work, particularly with Amazon and eBay sites.Even the on-page Back arrows do not work either.

I am using version 15.0.1. Since I updated to this version, the Back arrow does NOT always work particularly with Amazon and eBay. This is particularly evident when I go from a list the result of a search to an item on the lis. I cannot get back to the list even using the On-page Back arrow. I usually have to repeat the search to get back to the list again.

You can only get those pictures from the other PC. Pictures that have been synced from a computer via iTunes are not in the iPhone backup. You have to get them from the other PC, not other choice.

It wouldnt work,so i googled a heap of things to try and nothing worked.I made sure opacity was 100% and also that i was on a layer and nothing worked, I have just uninstalled and reinstalled and went to a new PSD and the brush still doesnt work.Please help, it is really frustrating. Here is a screen shot if that helps. Thanks

You have the History Brush selected. Normal brush is two icons up the tool bar.

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:
