Cannot access tool options in CS4 please help
Last week it was working fine. Last night and today, I Cannot access the tools options by double clicking, and in the tool options bar it always says no selection even when I have selected a tool. I cannot reset because the tool selection icon is missing. I have made sure all updates are done. I rebooted and cleaned off things on the computer to make sure there was plenty of space.
I am a very very new person to this, but as I mentioned, it was fine last week. I don't believe I made any changed to anything. I hope someone has a suggestion.
I use Windows XP by the way
I Cannot access the tools options by double clicking, and in the tool
options bar it always says no selection even when I have selected a
tool. I cannot reset because the tool selection icon is missing. I

on the computer to make sure there was plenty of space.
The Options bar always says no selection if you have no object selected -- just selecting a tool won't make no selection go away.
As far as double-clickig a tool to see the options for that tool, it should work -- I'm wondering if there is something wrong with your mouse. Try switching to another mouse and see if double-clicking works with the new mouse.
If none of the suggestions in this forum fix the problem, you may need to un-install and then re-install Illustrator.

Odd Startup behaviour and cannot access tools- options menu
As of this morning my installation of LV8 will not display the normal startup dialog box (allowing you to open existing VIs or open a new one), but simply opens a new VI immediately. If I close this new NI then again instead of returning to the start up dialog it opens a second new (blank) VI. Furthermore I cannot open the Tools->option menu from within a VI front panel.
I've tried repairing the LV installation and when this didn't work I went for a full remove and reinstall - still no joy!
I've also check that this is not user specific, so that when I log in as a different user on the same PC I get the same behaviour
Help - please !!
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi AMHurrel,
This sounds rather strange.
Did you change anything on your setup?
When you say you did a full remove and reinstall, how?
These are the steps I would follow:
The following procedure will remove the National Instrument Software:
1. Turn off the computer and physically remove or unplug all NI hardware that you have installed on your system.
This includes anything that is PCI-, ISA-, USB-, 1394-, or ethernet-based.
2. Turn the computer on and go through Add/Remove Programs (START » SETTINGS » CONTROL PANEL » Add/Remove Programs)
and remove everything NI-related. Generally, if you can remember, it is best to uninstall things in
the reverse order in which they were installed. For example, if you installed LabVIEW, then NI-DAQ, and then the
Internet Developers Toolkit for LabVIEW, you should uninstall the Internet Developers Toolkit first,
then NI-DAQ, and then LabVIEW last.
3. After everything has been removed (do not be concerned at this point if an item still shows up in the
Add/Remove Programs list after you have removed it), close all programs and restart your computer.
4. Go to START button of your operating system, choose RUN and type "regedit". This will open the Registry
Editor window. Go to the Registry Menu and choose Export Registry File. Select "All" for the export range,
and select a file name. This creates a backup of the Registry in case a mistake is made when deleting the keys.
5. Remove the following registry components from the Windows Registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\National Instruments Delete the entire tree!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments Delete the entire tree!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\ or \ISA and delete registry entries containing any
keys with 1093 in them.
Do not worry if any of these trees are not listed. Continue with the remainder of the process .
Note: You may need to modify security policies. In Windows 2000/98/95/NT, go to [regedt32] then
Security>>Permissions. In Windows XP you can modify security options using Edit>>Permissions in the
Registry Editor (regedit).
6. Close regedit.
7. Make sure that you do not have any of your own VIs or other files saved in the "C:\VXIpnp",
"C:\Program Files\National Instruments", or "C:\WINDOWS\nidaq" folders. If you do, copy them to a
different location. If you are concerned about keeping old virtual channels and your SCXI setup intact,
then backup the "C:\WINDOWS\niconfig.daq" file, too. Delete all folders and files mentioned above.
Note: If you have Windows NT/2000, replace "C:\Windows" with "C:\WINNT" in the paths listed above.
8. Save the attached file msiBlast.zip to your desktop.
a) Extract the file msiBlast.exe from the zip archive.
b) Double click on the downloaded msiBlast.exe file to run the executable.
c) Choose the Show NI Installers Only selection.
d) Using (Ctrl+Left Mouse Click) select all National Instruments Software that appears in MSIBlast.
e) Press the Uninstall button. This will uninstall all of the National Instruments MSI Registry entries.
f) Optional:
The Repair option will open the National instruments Installer Program and run the repair option within the installer.
Maintenance Mode will open the Installer Program and allow the user to modify the installation. To open the installer do not enter anything in the Command Line Arg? Dialog box.
9. Reboot your computer.
10. You should be ready to install your software. For the cleanest possible install, first install all of your
application development software, such as LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, etc. Do a custom install, so that you can
install just the application WITHOUT ANY DRIVERS. Reboot your PC when requested after each install.
Even if the installer does not tell you to reboot, it would probably be a good idea to do so anyway.
Now install your driver software and follow the associated user manuals. Some older non Plug-n-Play hardware
must be installed before the driver. Download the latest versions of the drivers that support your hardware
from our Drivers and Updates software library (link below), and install them one-by-one, rebooting after each
install.
11. Finally, shut down and re-install your hardware. When you boot back up, it should be detected in MAX.

Cannot access tool box - TG797n v3 pls help me
Hi there, I am trying to port forward for my xbox one as my connection has a high latency (220). This was recommended by easports. I have read many posts that tell you how to do this, but I cant find the toolbox section on my routers web page (or where the settings are) When I go to the web address 10.0.0.138, there is absolutely, 100% no toolbox option. The interface actually looks quite dated. The last telstra tech support told me he didnt know what a "port" was? And then tried to sell me telstra platinum $99.95! Please help
I'm having the exact same problem with my t gateway. High latency on any gaming, Xbox 360 xbox one PS3 pc. 300-1500 once attempting gaming. Telstra won't acknowledge. I churned from previous service for better price and data. I'm 100m from the exchange. I never had these problems with my prior service. My gateway was supposed to be free as offered by the telemarketer but oops they charged me. Lots. I'm going to buy a new router. If that doesn't work it might be the ombudsmen to get out of the contract. Anyone else having a similar problem or a solution?

Can't access Tools/Options/Applications in FF 12.0
Every time I try to do the following in FF 12.0, the browser stops responding/hangs/freezes/basically says "sorry, dude:"
1. Download files either by right clicking and choosing "save" or clicking directly on it. This includes email attachments, videos, etc. I also cannot attach files to emails since the same thing happens the moment I hit "Browse."
2. Cannot access Tools/Options/Applications, usually getting the same results. In my various attempts to resolve this, I have been able to open that window, but the space where file associations are listed is empty.
If it's any help, when I've reverted back to FF 3.5.1.9, I can do all those things ... I just can't get "Words With Friends" to load in Facebook.
What I have done in an attempt to correct this issue:
1.) Everything, including deleting the various .rdf files, etc.
2.) Tried starting in safe mode, using every possible variation.
3.) Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox around a hundred times, removing personal settings and cleaning the registry each time.
4.) Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash and Java three or four times each.
5.) Everything.
I am at my wit's end, thus the request for help. Unfortunately, if someone offers a solution, I've probably tried it.
Additional information: I did use firetune once, returned to the backup configuration I created, used it again and returned to the backup again. This seems to be right around the time the problems began, but I'm not positive.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Running WinXP Media, 512MB RAM, 32-bit, etc.Actually, Matt, I have tried that, but I certainly am willing to try again. Do you suggest deleting the current profile and all its settings, deleting the profile and keeping the personal settings, or just adding another complete profile in addition to the one that currently exists?

I have been working on installing this software for weeks now and am at the end. The first time the organizer installed but the editor wouldn't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and am ready to take this application back to the store. I have a Vista machine.
It still didn't work. I paid for Photoshop 12 at Costco. The organizer downloaded just fine but when I tried to use the editor, the screen appeared asking for my Adobe sign on, I signed on, and then the application just churned. I had to use task manager to stop it. Per your instruction, I downloaded Photoshop 13 from the site, it downloaded fine and then asked for my Adobe sign on and then just churned. I can now access Photoshop 13 organizer but still can't get editor.
This is ridiculous. Last night I did the msconfig.exe and followed the instructions on changing the start up menu and disabling everything.
I am furious about this. It looks like you want me to pay for Photoshop Elements 13 when I can't get 12 to work. This is a Vista machine.

Iphone linked with old owner's account. Don't have access to old owner. Please help.
IPhone linked with old owner's account. Don't have access to old owner. Please help.
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

Cannot sign in to iTunes? Please help.
Cannot sign in to iTunes? Please help.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Also try restarting the router.
If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123. -

My Imac is ejecting every disk inserted in it, I cannot access the disks, can any body help me troubleshoot the problem. I am using snow leopard.
Try resetting the SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
and PRAM How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
If those don't help you can try a cleaning disc or a quick shot of compressed air. Chances are that your drive has failed, join the club it's not all that uncommon. You can either have it replaced or purchase an inexpensive external drive. Don't buy the cute little Apple USB Superdrive, it won't work on macs with internal drives working or not. -
My Imac is ejecting every disk inserted in it, I cannot access the disks, can any body help me troubleshoot the problem
The frist thing to try is a drive-n disk. They are cheap (US$5-15) and easy to use. Many unresponsive drives, even ones declared "dead" by an Apple tech, have returned to service after a cleaning.
Check with home entertainment specialty shops, electronic superstores and office supply outlets that sell computer accessories. -

I'm having trouble with my macbook pro, I have only had it for three months, when I plugged a camera sd card into the sd slot it isn't appearing anywhere on the computer and i can not access my photographs. can somebody please help me?

Clifton I must disagree with you on the above statement. It is my opinion and experience that you should never connect the camera directly to any computer, Mac Windows Whatever.
It is always best to Remove the memory card from the camera and put it in a card reader, whether an external reader or one built into the computer, to copy images from the card.
Hi Shootist. I would be interested in hearing some reasoning on this. I almost always use a USB cable to connect my camera to the MBP for transferring pictures, and have moved about 30,000 this way over the last 6 years since my photography went digital. Recently, on the rare occassions when I have only a few to transfer and I was too lazy to go for the cable, I have used the card reader; about half those times I have difficulty getting the MBP to recognise the card. I find I have to press the card very hard into the slot for it to be recognised.
My rationale is quite possibly wrong, but I feel that the USB connectors are more robust and hard-wearing than the flimsy connectors on an SD card. Also, I haven't measured it, but I think the data transfer is faster with the cable. (I just came across this test, which reports noticeably faster transfer for cable than built-in card reader, but the computer was a PC)
Chiara, sorry for hijacking your thread.
