Editing Tools are unavailable

I have downloaded two individual Creative Cloud subscriptions. The are running on identical computers (Dell M4700), the same operating system (Windows 7) and the same company network.
On one of the computers, InDesign is working perfectly. All of the tools are available and files can be imported, created, edited, etc. with no issues. It also has imported all pre-existing style sheets with no problems at all.
However, on the other computer, none of the editing tools are working. Many of the tools are grayed out, while others, such as the font window for editing text, are clickable but I cannot select any of the options.
Is there a way to uninstall and re-install InDesign from the Cloud? Or is this a problem with preferences? The software is pretty much useless in its current state (on the one computer only).
All other programs downloaded from the Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, Premiere) are working fine on both computers.

Thank you. The Aero issue seems to have been what was mucking things up. I have disabled that and InDesign seems to be working properly now.
I really appreciate it!

  • Are Aperture's editing tools similar to or better than PS Elements?

    Are the editing tools in Aperture similar to or better than PS Elements?
    I'm an amateur photographer - I need images for my web site - plants and gardens, mostly, I have a perennial plant nursery.
    I've been using PS Elements 2.0 to manipulate images, mostly rotation, sharpen resizing, adjusting contrast....
    Aperture sounds very interesting - the tools for viewing and comparing images sound more graceful and easy to use.
    Thanks - paul

    Out of interest, I went over to the Adobe Lightroom forums and found the following:
    "Lightroom is aimed at being a workflow for handling raw camera images doing mostly global corrections. Photoshop Elements is meant for handling processed images mostly and allows you to do fine local adjustments
    Global means adjustments which are applied to the entire image such as tonal correction etc whereas localized corrections are something like removing a hair out of place, doing composite images, or removing red-eye."
    Lightroom is Adobe's soon-to-be competing product, so it's basically equivalent to Aperture (until you look at the details - but that's another topic). The comments quoted above are relevant to Aperture as well.

  • When I am in Edit, why are Smart Fix and Balance unavailable to me?

    When I am in Edit, why are Smart Fix and Balance unavailable to me?

    I don't know what you mean by balance, since there's nothing by that name in PSE. If you go to the Enhance Menu do you mean that Auto Smart Fix and Adjust Smart Fix are grayed out? If so, go to Image>Mode and be sure you have an RGB file and that it's 8 bits.

  • ACROBAT XI Pro -EDIT TOOL SET  - POP-UP WINDOW IS TOO LARGE

    Good Day -
    I've been experiencing very nagging problem since installing recent Acrobat Xi Pro uodate (on windows 7 system):
    Specifically - I cannot edit/change the TOOL SET to include needed TOOLS (i.e., that were all previously in my Tool set) as the EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (i.e., pop-up
    window) is TOO LARGE and does not allow scrolling/ or moving down to SAVE  any tool sets and or tool set changes. Very frustrating as all attempts (and recommendations from reviews/support) for decreasing the size of EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (popup) in order to save (i.e. include ANY) tools have been unsuccessful.  So for past week I've been unable to include/use any TOOLS for working in (i.e., editing/commenting etc) pdf's.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Would greatly appreciate any / all steps & recommendations for fixing.
    Thank-you!

    First, make sure you are on the latest update 11.0.09. Help->check for updates should get you there.
    If check for updates says that you have the latest, see if the setting: Edit->Settings->General->Basic Tools->Scale for screen resolution and try various options (you'll have to restart Acrobat with each selection)

  • How does one tell if they have full access to page creation/editing tools?

    I have an application that was built by someone else. The pages link via parameters to PL/SQL Packages/Procedures/Functions. Now I need to do minor enhancements/corrections and am learning Oracle and OAS as I go. I have read parts of Oracle OAS Portal Handbook from Oracle Press among many other things.
    Providers have queries, Portlets use Providers. Creators of pages make the connection from Portlets to information if they have permissions.
    The base application in question uses almost exclusively Dynamic Pages. There are no forms. These pages contain all possible manner of item content. I get the idea that editing is possible using only the portal tools but I am unsure. A PDK is not an option unless it is part of the OAS tool we currently use. I need to stay pure Portal and PL/SQL.
    I suspect the 'portal' user does not have all rights on my system because I do see an over abundance of editing Icons as shown in the OAS Portal Handbook. Is there a website, book, or simple explanation of how/where to access the editing tools for individual items such as creating/editing/deleting a drop-down box from a dynamic page? It seems that Portlet items just 'appear' in the examples, and nothing I've read really talks about how to specify what you want to see on a page or how to edit a page that already exists.
    Any enlightenment appreciated,
    Rick

    Just out of curiosity... Is there something you do
    like about Mac/Apple?
    To answer your question: no, not really. However, the points that I made here were about Safari and accompanying utilities, not about Apple in general.
    If it makes you feel any better, I am just as, or even more, critical of Micro$oft as the occasions arise...Windoze Vista is the most recent occasion and has given sufficient reasons and opportunities to vent my spleen that I actually have eased up on Apple, politicians, nut-case religious extremists, cell phone owners, and the Department of Homeland Paranioa, etc., due to an exhaustion of creative energy.

  • Need help with imovie photos extension. I am not able to view the editing tools no matter what I do!!!! Help please ASAP

    I Have read a lot of tutorials or whatever but Im not able to view the editing tools from imovie in the photos app. I have tried the trimmer thing and the yellow outline does appear but the only options available are "play, trim or cancel". I really really want to use the filters and stuff so please help me if you can!
    Thanks!

    Well, everything that you have bought with her Apple ID prior to getting your own Apple ID is forever hers. Apple will not transfer content from one ID to another. But in the case of the Mac, contact iTunes Customer Service and request that they send your issue to the Account Security Team and ask that the Mac be released form your mother's account so you may register it with your account. Then you can accept the iLife apps into your account for any future updates.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Portfolio Editing Tools Disappeared?

    Hello, I created a portfolio in Acrobat 9 Pro. I saved the file. When I reopen the file, all of my editing tools which are usually in a menu bar on the top of the document, are no longer available to me, ie. the "form", "multi-media" tabs. There is only one tool menu with a "modifiy" tab, which I set to "edit", but the only tools that become available to me are the "edit portfolio tools" that show up on the right hand side of the screen. How do I get back to a point where I can edit this document and add multi-media files?
    I attached a pic of what the program looks like now, without the tools I need.
    Please help
    Robyn

    What you are seeing is correct. The tools you are looking for (form, multi-media, etc) are all PDF document editing tools. However, a portfolio file isn't actually a document. It's a collection of files pulled together in a sort of a PDF wrapper.
    The official definition from the help documentation:
    A PDF Portfolio contains multiple files assembled into an integrated PDF unit. The files in a PDF Portfolio can be in different formats and created in different applications. For example, suppose you have a project that includes text documents, email messages, spreadsheets, CAD drawings, and PowerPoint presentations. You could combine all of these documents into a PDF Portfolio. The original files retain their individual identities but are assembled into one PDF Portfolio file. Users can open, read, edit, and format each component file independently of the other component files in the PDF Portfolio.
    You can add multi-media files to the portfolio a number of ways, most commonly this is done via drag/drop, clicking on the buttons at the bottom of the portfolio window when it's in edit mode (what you have pictured), or selecting those same options (add files, add existing folder) from the modify menu in the portfolio toolbar.

  • I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?

    I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?
    I went into edit preference and all the start up scrips are selected so what else is there?

    When you installed CS5, you have a chance to register it. If you do, your serial number is on file under your Adobe (My Products). If you did not, you have no serial number on file and even worse, no proof you own it.
    You do not have your serial number copied down anywhere? Hard to believe you tossed the dvd box and all the documents away.
    So Help > Register might give you a chance to do this without you knowing the number.
    If not, you may want to consider the Photography Plan. Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud

  • Lightroom 5.2 freezes when using the spot edit tool with Wacom Intuos 5

    Hi,
       I've been using Photoshop 6.x with my Intuos 5 for almost a year and it's been great.  I recently purchased Lightroom 5.2 only to discover that when I use the spot edit tool that it freezes when i use this tool as a brush.  It starts off smooth, but after brushing across my area i want to clone/heal, Lightroom seems to freeze up, and the spot edit tool is unusable.  I can lift my pen off the tablet and a few seconds later Lightroom comes back, but the tablet is basically unusable to me.  The mouse works perfectly fine.
      I've read other posts at the end of last year '12, that walks through some regedits and disabling some other tablet functions, but none of those work for me.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks Ed

    I solved my own issue.  I saw an article @ http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?19694-Spot-removal-tool-doesn-t-work-with-Wa com-Intuos-5-in-LR-5 that solved my issue.
    Step 1:

    Step 2:
    Click on Customize and change the default line graph from this:
    Step 3:
    To this
    Step 4:
    Click OK.
    After that, my spot edit tool stopped freezing in LR 5.2 while i was using my intuos 5 pen.
    Prior to doing this, I also did the procedure listed here:  http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8036
    So it's possible that both need to be done in order for the freezing to stop.  I hope this can help others.

  • Advanced editing tool not working in Acrobat Pro 9.0

    I created a fillable form in Live Cycle ES 8.2 and the recipient wants to add a hyperlink to a website in one of the text field areas of the form but it won't work.
    I tried to do it for him in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 but when I go to the Advanced Editing tool it is greyed out. Can anyone tell me how to get the advanced editing tool to work or why it may be disabled?

    Thank you but if I put it back into LiveCycle everything that has been inputted by the recipient is lost. Do you know if there is a setting in LiveCycle that allows hyperlinks to be entered in to the text area by the recipient of the form?

  • What happened to the "Text Edits Tool" in Acrobat X?

    I know the answer is "it went away" but, seriously, please bring it back. In Acrobat 9, when you activated the "Text Edits Tool," it would automatically switch between insert, delete, and replace text in a context-sensitive way. You just had an active tool cursor - if you highlighted text and started typing, it would "replace" the text. If you clicked in one spot and started typing, it would "insert" text. If you highlighted text and clicked the Delete key, it would "delete" text. All this with one tool, that stayed active the entire time you were using it.
    Now, in Acrobat X, you have 3 different tools. You have to click to select the tool - mark the change. Click to select the next tool and mark that change. And on and on. And while you can right-click on any single tool and select "Keep tool selected" - there's no way to make that the default behavior. And that doesn't help when switching back and forth between activities.
    I know that the Selection Tool can now almost serve as the old "Text Edits Tool" - this works quickly with delete, but requires the tilde shortcut for insert or replace. Basically one extra step for each edit than there was with the Text Edits Tool.
    One might think that that little extra click isn't a big deal - but when you are marking up a PDF all day, every day, it adds up.

    I assume you're talking about commenting and markup rather than editing the text of the document itself.
    The keyboard shortcuts are  designed to do exactly what you want. With the multi-select tool active (I beam + black arrow on the toolbar):
    Select some text and press the Insert key - a new Replace text annotation is created and the note panel opened for typing. Press Esc to close the note
    Click to place the cursor within some text and press the Insert key - a new Insert text annotation is created and the note panel opened.
    Select some text and press the Delete key - a strikeout annotation is created (no note this time but you can add one by double-clicking)
    The idea of selecting something and 'just typing' to activate a markup event could not be retained as it interfered with the single-key accelerator mode.

  • Exchange BPA Errors (Exchange server is a virtual machine but the additional tools are not installed and The 'Services' string type value located in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup\Services' registry key is missing)

    Hi,
    I am running BPA on My Exchange 2010 VM (Server 2008 R2 VM on Hyper-V) and get the following errors:
    The 'Services' string type value located in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup\Services' registry key is missing or inaccessible. The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service won't start. As a result, all services that depend
    on this service won't be able to start
    Exchange server [Exchange Server FQDN] is a virtual machine but the additional tools are not installed. This configuration is not supported. Install Virtual Machine Additions for this guest.
    Problem is that, for the first, that Key exists and the service is actually running fine. And for the second my VM tools are already installed.
    Hopefully someone out there has had the same issue and can assist.

    Hi Pete,
    For the first error message, please try the following steps:
    Make sure the Information Store service is in Starting status,
    Automatic startup type and works well, as a test we can try to
    restart the Infroamtion Store service and verify the service works well.
    Start
    Registry Editor, find the registry key “Services” under “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup”, its value is “C:\Program
    files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v14”(default install location), please check your registry, make sure the key “Services” exist and value is the Exchange Server install location and the
    location is accessible;
    Start
    Registry Editor, and locate the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Setup
    Use the
    Permission option under the Security tab to check the permission setting on this key. Make sure
    System is in the list with Full Control permissions if the service account is Local System. If you are not using Local System as the service account, check the existence of the corresponding account in the list and ensure that
    it has Full Control permissions. Please refer to this article:

    Start
    ADSI Edit, and then browse to the following location:
    Domain.com/Configuration/Services/Microsoft Exchange/Org/Administrative Groups/AdminGroup/Servers/Server Name
    Right-click the
    server name, and then click Properties.
    Click the
    Security tab, make sure this own server’s server object have
    full control permission on its own server.
    If not or the object is missing, please modify the permission or click
    Add, locate the computer account for the Exchange Server computer, add it to the Permissions list with full control.
    Click OK, and then close ADSI Edit.
    Use
    Active Directory Users and Computers to add the current affected

    Microsoft Exchange Security Groups( or Users) OU. Refer to this article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297295.
    Restart the Exchange Server computer, then rerun the ExBPA.
    For the second error message, Microsoft don’t recommend to install Exchange Server on virtual machine without additional tools, so the error message occurs. We can just ignore
    this message, it will not affect the Exchange servers.
