"Could not use the clone stamp because the area is not define (Alt-click...etc), not working?

Hello,
I can imagine that this looks like a total noob question, but I think there's a little more to this problem. I've had this problem before, then it went away, now it back again, and I can't figure it out.
I wanted to remove a tumb that caught the corner of the lense in a shot with the clone tool, so I choose my clone tool, select a copy of the background layer, and press alt to select my source. It doesn't work! I don't get my little plus thing. I've also noticed that I can't select part of the photo with the lasso tool either. I AM selecting the proper layer on the side! I don't get it, why isn't this working?
I've tried resetting the tool, I've tried several different files, it just refuses to let me select a source. My alt key is working, ctrl-alt-del says so. Just frustating.
Thanks...

Do you have an active selection, that you trying to work outside of? Is the layer locked. Have you done something in the Clone source panel? You can't actually reset the Clone source panel, but you can zero any angles used with the new default reverse arrow icon. If all else fails, try deleting the Photoshop preferences file, but holding down Shift Ctrl Alt as you open Photoshop.

"Could not use the clone stamp because the area to clone has not been defined (Alt-click to define a source point)".

Few users access our Photoshop through Citrix on a mac but use a Windows 7 platform once they're in Citrix. They're all having issues using the Clone Stamp tool. Get the error "Could not use the clone stamp because the area to clone has not been defined (Alt-click to define a source point)". We've reset the clone stamp tool, reset all the tools, and reset the preferences. We've made sure that we're in All Layers. Nothing seems to be working. None of the other forums helped either. Adobe support is no help either.
Thanks,
Moe.

Did you check with Citrix support? Did you try both of the Alt keys.

If a tool is acting up, one suggestion is to reset the tool.
Ctrl-click on the clone tool icon in the Options bar and select Reset Tool.

if you have replaced the logic board on your phone, by yourself then that is considered modification and can cause other parts to fail due to ESD issues or just damage from handling parts

HT3887 how can i configure my wireless keyword so i can use the Function F keys to control volume etc...? I am using 10.5.8 OS

how can i configure my wireless keyword so i can use the Function <F> keys to control volume etc...? I am using 10.5.8 OS

little wireless cameras would not have the ability to send back to the base, even thought the base can reach it.
Now if you take regular cameras and wire them into a Cisco switch that was attached to a wireless bridge that could shine back to the base...now you might have something, but your still going to have to do a survey/path analysis to determine if it is feasible.
Coverage isnt throughput. I see one base station with 3 or 4 sectoral antennas depending on direction, pointing two several distribution bridges to bridge the gaps that go out again to the cameras...something like that. And all of it should be higher in the air than your construction.

I logged in to fb but could not 'work' anything, changed browser to chrome google and everything worked, why is this?

I could login, could read everything on fb but could not 'work' on fb, could not 'like', not post, not access anything.
My tech suggested changing from firefox to chrome google and everything worked.
Only other problem is that windows has taken over the posts of my photos and I can't see the photos now, just little green box in middle of screen unless I click on the box and it opens up the photo. How do I get my photos back now, as well.
Am going back to firefox once more to see if everything is cleared up.
Any suggestions about getting photos 'released' would be good.
Thank you in advance.

Gcc could not work

I config alchemy step by step
1. ./config
2. source alchemy-setup
3. alc-on
and then I run "which gcc" , and it is alchemy gcc .. but when I run gcc --version to show the gcc version , it doesn't show any thing,
So I think that alchemy gcc could not work...how can I do???

You can try to install it with this installation pack. I have not try it personally but it looks very easy.
