Cursor in Elements 9 is now three little hands

Don't know how to fix the problem.

I suspect it may have something to do with your monitor settings. Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% to 149% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) won’t. Sometimes the mouse or tool cursors are distorted.
Try a setting of 115% to 120% otherwise use 100%. A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops, and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality. If your height resolution is out of the range 768 to 800 try experimenting with the slider/settings.

Problem with my hand cursor: it shows three little hands

Hi there,
I work for many years with CS4 and now suddenly, my hand cursor shows up as three little hands in a row. I don't know what went wrong or how to correct this. Please help
Bert

Hi there,
That works! And my mouse is scrolling a lot smoother too! Thanks a lot! I am very grateful.
Best Regards
Bert

Something is wrong with the cropping. It won't let me crop the picture. Usually the arrow would appear so I can drag it to crop the image but now the little hand appear and does not change to the arrow.

I cannot use my crop function in editing. The little hand would not change to the arrow hence cannot drag to crop the image. It just happened today.

Lets start with details - what version of iPhoto and of the OS?
anything else that might help figure this out?

My "little hand" cursor disappeared

This morning the "little hand" cursor disappeared. It used to appear over links, now all I have is that kind of capital I shaped thingy. It is an arrow until I go over a link or choice to select. Whats up?

Hi there...thanks for the reply but that didn't work. I still have the weird blinkie hand/arrow cursor. And thanks, Alan, for finding my original question; not sure why it wasn't showing up in my account.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what Windows computer are you running it?
The 150:30 error is probably indicative of a licensing problem.
How long has the problem existed?
If it persists, please check out the following Adobe document related to troubleshooting this type of matter...perhaps starting with
solution 2.
Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thanks.

2 Questions re getting rid of songs & keeping little hands from downloading

Hi,
1. Got my new iPhone last week but my niece nicely took it and loaded up some tunes from her itunes before i got to use it on my pc. Now when I plug it into my iTunes it wont open my iPhone details or let me delete what she put on for me- how do I do this?
2. Also how do i stop little hands from downloading onto my iPhone when I'm not looking. They're very careful with the phone so I dont want to stop them playing with it but they have got carried away with downloading before. Ie can I username and password access to iTunes downloads?
Many thanks
Lara

Also Re #2---Settings, General, Restrictions will let you block access to some things, including iTunes. I think you would have to turn on the Restrictions each time you pass the phone to the children, though.
Also, I am not totally sure, but I think iTunes remembers your password for a little while---eg, if you download a song and then immediately give the phone to the child, it may not ask again until you are inactive for a while or quit.

Just started using Safari, 5.1 on Win XP. Places where there used to be check boxes now have little buttons with triangles on them; clicking them seems to have no visible effect. Help!

I just started using Safari, using Safari 5.1 on Win XP. Any place where there used to be a check box, there's now a little button with a triangle on it. The triangle changes orientation as I move the mouse cursor around, but there is no visible change if I click on it. Yet it appears that I must click on it to check, or uncheck, the box; I just can't tell whether it's checked. If I can't get this to work better, I'll have to give up on Safari. Please help. (Note: there's one at the head of this thing saying "Mark this discussion as a Question - this encourages people to answer for points and helps you track answers." I clicked on it, but don't know whether it's checked or not. That's a fairly minor example.)

Can you provide an SSCCE that demonstrates this behavior?

Cursor/Mouse is stuck in top left hand corner by apple icon HELP

My cursor is stuck in the upper left hand corner and will not budge. I've restarted from the OS disk, looked at system profiler - usb profile and the mouse appears. This means it should be software related, not hardware related. I've restarted the cpu multiple times logging in under differnt users and have replaced the mouse & keyboard it's attached too with backups. NOTHING WORKS! My mouse is stuck in the top left hand corner barely touching the apple icon. When I click the mouse, the drop down menu appears so it is communicating with the cpu. However it just will not move/track anywhere! I'm an almost 20 yr mac user having survived a few 'sad mac' faces in the Mac Classic, Performa, & 8100 days, but have never run across something like this before.
HELP PLEASE!!! Would love to know a fix for this, or even what has caused it. In lieu of that I suppose I'd be okay with re-installing my system software as all programs & sensative info is on a seperate HD.
FYI I can't reinstall by rebooting via OS disc because the mouse doesn't work. Any help here?
FYI I do not have (not sure what it's called exactly) the function/preference turned on which allows me to move the cursor with the keyboard & can't get it turned on now as I can't navigate the system preferences windows in a functional manner.
Thanks & PLEASE HELP,
Phillip

Phillip,
I had this problem recently with a 3-year old Mac Pro intel, which was eventually replaced by Apple due to myriad other problems. When the frozen mouse happened, there was nothing I could do. Very frustrating to have the screen boot and the cursor is up there stuck, on the top left corner of the screen. Frozen. I called support several times. They were amazed. At one point they had me buy a cheap USB mouse (I was using a wireless mouse from Logitech and they thought there might be some kind of conflict). The USB mouse didn't work, either. Neither did an Apple mouse when I went out to buy one.
I ended up driving 70 miles to take the Mac to an Apple Store. I think they reinstalled the (Leopard) system in some secret way, because when the mouse was frozen so was everything else and I couldn't open the disk drive to put the OSX disk in there.
Why I'm here right now is that the same thing happened today with my NEW 3-month-old REPLACEMENT MAC PRO using its brand new wireless mouse, and I was hoping to find some insight. Again, a frozen cursor after the boot. Same top-left corner of the screen. Unlike you, when I click the mouse nothing happens -- no drop down.
Luckily, when I hard-rebooted by holding the button in, the mouse cursor came back. This time. Now I am afraid to turn my computer off. Been there done that before. Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

After re-installing Win 7 64 on my computer, and attempting to install my copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements, I now get the following message: "This version of Photoshop Elements requires MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher to be installed". Does anyone have

After re-installing Win 7 64 on my computer, and attempting to install my copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements, I now get the following message: "This version of Photoshop Elements requires MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher to be installed". Does anyone have an idea of what the problem is? It has always worked in the past.

I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed. It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4). Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html The previous version works beautifully.

How do I view/print a pdf document in an email? I'm not getting the little hand icon.

How do I view/print a pdf document in an email? I'm not getting the little hand icon.

Ah, yes, I'm using Adobe Reader! That makes sense. Thanks so much for your reply. At the moment, I scan Word documents into my computer and they're automatically converted to PDFs. If I had Adobe Acrobat on my computer, and scanned in documents, would they open in Reader automatically or could I open them in Acrobat and therefore add password protection?

Three little dots

Dear all
Does anyone know a way of stopping Lightroom doing it's three little dots thing when browsing thumbnails? While using it to browse or manage my images the machine slows to a crawl until it has finished.
In order to see my files and move them around I do not need the thumbnails to be fully optimised and waiting for them to sort themselves out is a major waste of time.
I am aware this feature will also need to be turned on when working on the photo's, perhaps a little tick box would do the trick.
I have "automatically write changes.." turned off.
Best regards
John Ponter

Render 'Standard Previews' and they ought to go away.

How can I have a single cursor using elements 9 with Windows 7?

Currently the cursor on my screen is 3 small boxes in place of the single arrow. I am using Photoshop Elements 9 With Windows 7. I have loaded the patch files currently in the Adobe system without any success.

Thank-you that solved the issue.

Edit in Photoshop Elements is now greyed out

Edit in Photoshop Elements is now greyed out in Lightroom 3.6 although I have used it before - anyone help me to change this?

Did you upgrade to a newer version of Elements? I've found that breaks the link and you have to either repair it in Lightroom, or reinstall Lightroom.

My CS3/PS has started to change the cursor into a line of three VERY small icons when dragged over a picture or menu. Thus it is VERY difficult for instance to drag a layer in the layer list to the wastebasket - the cursor simply is too big for the waistebasket icon. Even all other exact work is impossible. Of course I have checked all the cursor presets but nothing seems to help. My OS is Windows7.

Have you tried resetting Preferences?
A logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.
