Certain Tools Have Stopped Working on Specified Layer

Everything was working normally this morning until suddenly the Brush Tool stopped being able to add to a particular layer, but instead added to a layer below.
A few tests found that the Brush Tool,Spot Healing Brush Tool, Dodge Tool, dont' work, and the tools that work correctly are: Marquee Tool, Eyedropper Tool, Blur Tool, Eraser Tool.
Anybody know what's going on here?
I'm woking with CS2, PhotoShop 9.0

I found the culprit. For the Brush Tool, I had Mode set to Color. When I changed Mode back to Normal the problem went away.
Thanks for your comments, Nancy O, they prompted me to make a last try this Friday afternoon . . if you hadn't commented I would have gone away for the weekend and wondered about it the whole time . . now I can sleep oblivious in my palatial country manor — a tent:

  • I use Yahoo and certain features have stopped working. What do I do?

    Any option in my inbox that has a drop-down arrow stopped working. I can't move emails, I can't reply to all when I get emails sent to many others, etc. I contacted yahoo and they said this is not a yahoo issue, that it must be with my browser. I think I have the latest firefox version. Would clearing the cache fix this? Does clearing the cache remove all my saved passwords?
    Also, sometimes when I log into yahoo, everything is in a column on the left. This happens in Ancestry dot com as well. BTW, I can't log into Ancestry now bcuz all the tabs, etc. is in a column on the left, and the boxes where I need to enter in my UN and PW, when I click the boxes, nothing happens.
    I tried Ancestry and Yahoo inbox in IE, and everything worx ok. So I feel it really must be firefox. HELP!
    Thanx.

    Try resetting the iPad. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider, and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.

  • Help! My tools have stopped working

    I'm on a 2010 MacBook and was merrily creating pages when suddenly the selection tools turned into the Hand Tool symbol, now nothing works.  What in the world would cause this? I trashed the preferences but that didn't help.  Can anyone please help? 

    I don't mean to offend you, but I like to check and make sure you really trashed the prefs properly. It's a bit more complex for ID than some other Adobe apps if you are doing it manually.

  • Selection tools have stopped working

    I was trying to cut out a bridge stock today, and all of my selectiont tools are suddenly acting psychotic. Whether it's a lasso or a marquee tool, they all give me this result when I try to select something:
    I haven't trying restarting Photoshop, but I just wanted to know how to fix this and how I can prevent it from happening again.
    Thanks!

    Every time I try to access my emails on microsoft outlook I get a message from windows that mobileme services have stopped working. windows then tries to find a solution and says mobileme is not installed correctly. When I try to repair or uninstall via the control panel my pc cannot find the route????? I do have an iphone and ipad. What can I do?

    The CrashIDs are what is needed. Do not attempt to attach or paste the reports.
    #Run Firefox in safe mode does that prevent crashes ?<br/>[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    #Disable all plugins
    #Repeat and this time try in Windows safe mode. use the F8 key <br /> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7
    So you are saying it works ok as long as you avoid certain pages such as this Forum. That makes me wonder if it could be malware that is blocking access to assistance.Run malwarescans with multipe and up-to-date tools.
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

  • Oracle BI Administration tool has stopped working

    Just now finished the 11g installation.But im not able to open BI Administrator.Im getting this error.Please help.
    "Oracle BI Administration tool has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.Please close the program"

    I followed the below steps(taken from this forum) for installing OBIEE11g 64 bit version in a 64 bit machine.Installation completed successfully.But not able to open BI Administration tool.Any suggestions???
    There is not a particular 64bit installation. I think it works like this: if you are using a 64bit JDK the apps server is also running 64 bit.
    You can find the generic jar here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/wls-main-097127.html and take the generic one (http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/middleware/11g/wls1033_generic.jar)
    You install this by a command like this (you have to look up the documentation): java -XXm.... .... wls1033_generic.jar
    Then a installer pops up.
    So these were my steps:
    - installed RCU
    - installed 64 bits JDK (jdk-6u21-windows-x64.exe)
    - installed Weblogic (wls1033_generic.jar)
    - installed OBI as "software only"
    - configured OBIi (config.bat you can find in <obi11g home>\Oracle_BI1\bin)
    All together it does not take much longer then the 32bit install. Only some extra steps to do.

  • Receiving a "FIXMAPI 1.0 MAPI Repair Tool has stopped working" error

    One of our users has Windows 7 Installed. When she emails out attachments, she right clicks it and chooses to "Sent To" and then selects "Mail Recipient".
    It opens and creates a new email fine. Upon pressing SEND it gives a "FIXMAPI 1.0 MAPI Repair Tool has stopped working" It does successfully email. 
    I attached a screenshot.

    Hi,
    Have you tried to repair the Office for the user?
    If that won't work, open the Explorer, and navigate to
    %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
    Delete the file named Mail recipient. (Make a backup before you doing that, or you can just move it to the other folders.)
    And then open folder
    C:\Windows
    Find the file named Win.ini, open it with Notepad, find the section that begins with [Mail], and then add the following lines. Some lines may already exist, but you need all of them for this feature.
    [Mail]
    MAPI=1
    CMC=1
    CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
    CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
    MAPIX=1
    MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
    OLEMessaging=1
    Save it and quit Notepad, restart the Computer.
    See if we can get rid of it.

  • Clone tool has stopped working properly, the sample area doesn't follow the target area?

    Clone tool has stopped working properly, the sample area doesn't follow the target area?

    I understand. I was very unhappy with Adobe when my PSE 11 stoped working properly. I had it for only about 6-7months before I updated my software on my imac and it all went downhill.... Then to add to that my Adobe account was hacked. Adobe never informed me of this situation. I heard through a friend that I should check to see if I was one of the very many who's online accounts were tampered with. I had to reset every single password and username for nearly 30 online accounts to avoid any further tampering with the hackers. And all Adobe suggested was for me to pay for an upgrade to PSE 12 which I did but wasnt very impressed to say the least ( i was on an online chat with them for over 2hours trying to get my PSE 11 issues solved to no avail). Then this sluggish performance starts happening again using the new version PSE 12?. I'm going to stay clear of adobe if I have the option to purchase similiar software from another supplier. I would and will encourage anyone else who has problems with there software to do the same. Older versions should work perfectly fine for ages. I wonder If Adobe is trying to get us all to pay for the monthly subscription option(s) to avoid having issues with older versions of their software. As the subscription option keeps you ontop of all the latest versions... I wouldn't put it past them.
    All the best returned,

  • When i use type tool photoshop stopped working

    hi,
    please help me in this problem
    when i try to use type tool,photoshop stopped working
    its photoshop cs3 ex

    > i have 500+ fonts
    Take out 250 fonts. See if the problem goes away. If it does, then you know the bad font is in them. Load the other fonts back in small batches (10-12) and test after each one.
    If the first 250 fonts does not solve the problem, take out most of the other 250 ... leave only the basic fonts that came with the system. Then load the others in 10-12 at a time, testing after each.
    Free fonts are not always free. Sometimes you have to spend a lot of time to make sure they are good fonts.

  • I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. 
    There will be no audio output in safe mode. The question to be answered by the test is whether any devices are listed in the Sound preference pane. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
