Elements 10 out of bounds extension tool don't work*help

new to this and was doing well till got to this stage clicked on extension tool and all I get is a hand don't know what I am doing wrong

Choose the Quick Selection tool. Then click on the parts of your photo outside of the frame. Keep clicking until you have everything you want selected. Don’t worry if you make a mistake and select too much. Hold down the alt key and you can click to subtract.

Elements 11. Resize image tool doesn't work. Tried online chat with Adobe - no help.

I recently got a new computer (pc) and decided to download Elements 11 instead of the old version that was on my old computer. I've discovered that the image resizing tool doesn't work, although the other functions seem to be working fine.
I tried an online chat with Adobe. Their suggestion was to buy another photo service from them for $10./month !!

Do you have Resample Image and Constrain Proportions checked?

Bridge updated unexpectedly, now Photoshop Tools don't work

Hi, all;
I have Web Premium CS 5.5, which I am quite happy with, but I also have a Cloud subscription so that I can use CS products on my laptop (my management decided it was easier to do that than dig up the physical media when my laptop was purchased).
Recently, I needed InDesign (not part of Web Premium) and installed it from my Cloud subscription. Now, when I select Browse folder with Adobe Bridge, it brings up the CS6 version, not the CS5.5 version. I wouldn't mind much, but the PhotoShop tools menu item doesn't appear (this is about 50% of what I do with Bridge). I can manually open the CS 5.5 version, but of course this is not as convenient as the right-click option, plus the CS 5.5 version is no longer stable (it crashes a lot).
How do I either get the PhotoShop Tools menu to work in Bridge? Alternatively, how can I get the right-click menu to point to my unstable version of 5.5? I can live with the instability if I can keep it open long enough to at least do what I need to do.
Thanks;
Amy

if PhotoShop tools can't be made to work properly from Bridge CS6, launching CS 5.1 from the right-click menu would be an alternate fix that would be acceptable.
Bridge works version specific, so CS6 is not easy to use with CS5.5 due to the start up scripts used for the menu Tools. Indesign, Illustrator and I believe also Premiere Pro are the other applications capable of working with Bridge and when only installing one of these apps from the Creative Cloud they also install Bridge CS6 form the Creative Cloud.
All settings for some reason auto select the newest version, on a Mac for example the finder always used to set itself to the latest installed Photoshop version as default application to pen with, I recall this was hard to avoid, maybe it is still the issue.
However you still have the CS5.5 installed that will offer the wished behavior.
You could try to start Bridge CS5.5 manual and the restart Photoshop holding down shiftoptionCommand (Mac, don't know the Windows equivalent) to reset its preferences and force them to the open CS5.5.
But personally I would not use the Browse in Bridge command in PS itself. I always have both Bridge and PS active and running from log in and never use the Browse in Bridge command.
Using this command does need to open Bridge or auto switches to the latest version, Having Bridge already up and running saves time in caching and with a work space customized with a folder panel in view is much easier to navigate
And of course, there is no objection to download also PSCS6 from the CC, I really don't agree with earlier versions being better. Only Bridge CS3 was a very bad version, yet it was in its way better then the first version of Bridge that appeared in CS2. CS3 had much more options but was very unstable (not unusable if you dumped the cache and prefs every few weeks).
The difference between Bridge CS5.5 and CS6 is a different Cache structure. It claims to be again faster and more stable but some Windows users on this forum sadly enough can't confirm this due to slow criteria building.
Personally I experience CS6 faster and better then CS5

Direct Selection Tool don't works cause points dissapear in shapes

Good evening,
I'm using Photoshop CC under a Macbook Pro Retina Display (15 inches), I've noticed that since lasts updates, when I use the direct selection tool for chaning a shape trace the points that should appear for selecting each anchor dissapears, and there's no way to get them back (sometimes by closing the program and restarting fixes this issue).
The tool is working because when I clic somewhere over a shape it gets highlighted on layers panel, but I can't see the points and so, can't modify the shape.
Does this belongs to any option? (I know in Illustrator there's an option to see or hide the points, but don't know if in Photoshop goes the same way or not) or it's a bug from the last updates? (I would say that it didn't happen at the beggining). But as I use a lot shorcuts, sometimes I can make a misstake and press cmd + wrong key, so I think it could be the reason for this... but I'm not quite sure.
Thanks in advice!
EDIT:
I've seen that if I hide the "extras" (cmd + H) it hides the guides but also the points from shapes (that shouldn't be this way, right?) and even I can see them when I turn them on, I can't pick just one as I did in CS6 by using direct selection tool and pressing on just one point (at the beggining all of them are highlighted cause you've got selected the whole shape layer, but when you press one, it should get this highlighted and turn off the rest of them), and the only way to get just one point is to pan with the cursor and make a selection, passing over the points you want to highlight, but this is annoying cause if you've got any other shape below, it will select it as well.

1000x this. My designs are 100% vector shapes, so if Adobe have changed this core behavior intentionally, they’ve just made my life a lot more difficult.
We should be able to use the Direct Selection Tool to select a shape layer (similar to how the Move Tool has done) by clicking on any visible pixel. But then we should be able to freely drag-select points on that shape (starting from any neutral area) without selecting other shape layers. This is how it’s worked since before I can remember.
Here’s why the two new selection modes don’t work:
Active Layers - I can no longer freely select any visible shape. Instead I’m forced to make a time-consuming roundabout to the layer palette, where I have to squint to find my shape layer, and activate it manually before continuing. (Hitting “V” to select a layer, then “A” to get back to the D.S. Tool is nearly as cumbersome. Plus, I leave off the Move Tool's auto-select mode.)
All Layers - Treats all my shapes as if they’re on one layer. Overlapping shapes are therefore impossible to work with -- mainly drag-selecting and deselecting points -- in situ.
We either need a “legacy” setting, or some way to constrain selection on drag, via a key modifier or something. This “all or nothing" thing doesn’t work for me... and apparently for others. Why would they change such a thing?
Or maybe there’s something I’m missing. Please let that be the case!

Spot healing, lasso, and the move tool don't work

These tools don't do anything. I can find them and select but nothing happens.

Good day!
Selecting the Tools should not cause anything much to happen yet (apart from the cursor icon and the Options Bar reflecting the Tool selected).
What exactly do you do for example with the Lasso Tool?
Could you please post a screenshot to illustrate the issue?

[HELP] Ipod Nano Buttons Don't Work [HELP]

Okay, I had got my Ipod on December 25, 2006, but now I recently came by a problem.
I charge my Ipod, and then take it out the right way. When I try to listen to my songs, the buttons don't work, the only button that works is the HOLD SWITCH. This is getting on my nerves. Do anybody know how to fix this problem? I might have to get another one or send in for repairing. Thanks.

First try a reset...
Put the hold switch to the OFF/White position. Now toggle it ON/orange then back off again. Then press and hold both the MENU and center buttons on the iPod and hold them for a good 15 seconds or so. Your iPod should reboot starting with the Apple Logo screen.
Obviously if your buttons are truly broken the above won't work, but worth checking anyway.
Next, try restoring the iPod and see if that clears it up.
If not, then you may have an actual hardware failure.

I mac is snow leopard I bought for 19.99 mountain lion online an my computer has gray screen with the spinning wheel and don't work help me z

My computer I Mac is 10.6.5 I think but the issue was when I update it ask me for version 10.8.5 that was mountain lion wich I bought it for 19.99 Iand know is not working it had a gray screen with spinning wheel I have snow leopard on my iMac I bought mountin lion know the screen I grey I can't do nothing I reboots don't work I inserted the cd for my I Mac don't work can't do nothing I can't remove the cd can someone help me .

To get the CD to eject, hold down the mouse, or if you use it, trackpad, button while you reboot ... keep holding the button down until it ejects. If that doesn't work, this Apple note has some other steps.
See this Apple note on steps to take to deal with the grey screen.
Your iMac needs to be mid-2007 or newer with 2GB minimum memory (4GB+ is recommended) and 8GB or more of available disk space. You also should be at OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to access the App store and install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Elements 9 tools don't work

I noticed another post. Maybe it's not functioning well because I don't have enough ram on this laptop . . .
I'm so frustrated with Elements 9, I'm considering asking for a refund. Can't get many of the tools to even function. Maybe it's because the layer is locked, but nothing seems to unlock it. Can you tell me how to unlock it, and also how to get tools to function? I'd be SO grateful for your help.
It's like the program was created by a foreinger who can't figure out how to make things user-friendly. For example, I click on Brush tool - then control, click to choose the tool shape. I click option click to get the color. This works with clone tool. Does not work with most other tools! They come up with a circle and a line thru them. How do I get them to function?!
Wishing they included a manual. For something of this difficulty, a manual is really needed. I tried to access one online, but the help tap isn't helpful.
Thank you so much. Looking forward to your help!

ThinkVantage tools don't work anymore on X201

Hey Guys,
I got a serious problem with my x201 and unfortunately I don't know since when.
Whenever I want to start a thinkvantage tool (Powermanager, access connections, lenovo gps, etc) I got an errormessage from dw20.exe which sounds like (translated from German): "The command 0x76f4c819 points on memory 0x3be0370c. Was not able to read". The only tool which is executable is fingerprint reader (out of sysconf).
What could be the reason?
Further I got to mention that these tools although appear in the taskbar! Which means I can see battery monitor, AC monitor and I can even use fn+f5 to switch on/off the individual wireless devices (BT, WWAN, WLAN). But as soon as I double click on a symbol on the taskbar to lets say start access connections I got this message described above!
What I already did:
Uninstall all lenovo thinkvantage software. Reinstall the newest version of all of them.
Later I thought dotnet framework could be the reason, because it says that lenovoupdate needed framework 2.0.
So I tested it with framework 4 and framework 2 running - nothing changed.
My system:
Lenovo X201 (3626)
Intel Core i5
4GB Ram
Kingston SSDnow V100 128GB
Qualcomm Gobi2000 WWAN and GPS card
Win7 Professional SP1
It's very annoying because I cant use my WWAN card anymore.. Everything worked fine until, I don't know, maybe some Win7-Updates changed the system??
thanks for any help!!
Andy

In my opinion, Microsoft .NET Framework is not needed. But i don't know, whether you have a program installed, which depends on it. .NET Framework 4 can be kept, because more and more programs use it.
How to check, whether Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 is installed?
Run Controlpanel - Programs and functions
Click on "Activate/deactivate programs and functions" near the left border
"Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1" must be checked
if unchecked, mark it and follow the instructions

Element 11 program, never installed, serial # don't work

Have a new Elements 11 program (never installed) purchased from Sam's. Took photo of serial numberI know it is correct. Spent hours today trying to install it on a windows 7 computer that has never had Elements on it. Elements repeated claimed the serial number was incorrect. It is the only number that came with the program. I tried to lift the label on the box for the number but there wasn't one. I can't retrieve it from Adobe since it has never been installed. I am out hours of my wasted time and the price of the program. I am more than MAD. I haven't found anyplace or way to contact Adobe directly. I was going to purchase Adobe Elements 12 for another new computer but don't want to waste more money on this garbage. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO REACH REAL PEOPLE THAT CAN CORRECT THIS PROBLEM?????

Normally the serial number will be on the disk case, not on the box.
To locate the serial number:

After upgrading my Aperture software, the adjustment tools don't work on most my projects. only a few. what happened?

Help... After upgrading, only SOME of my libraries allow the adjustments tools to work. What do I do to regain access that allows me to edit my photos?

I recall that from Aperture 2 to 3 the RAW decoder was updated and some of the adjustments required you to manually reprocess the RAW file using the new decoder. I don't remember the exact button but it appears on top with the RAW decode brick and says something like reprocess RAW. Once you do this, the new adjustments will work.
This only would matter if you are using RAW files.

I'm doing a vector, however the pen and Elipse tools don't work as they should.

As I said, I'm working on a vector, but now whenever I use the pen or elipse tool, the shape doesn't fill in, even at 100% opacity. Changing to other tools I get a message that always ends with "Because the pixels in a group cannot be edited without merging the group."
I'm left scratching my head, I only started using photoshop a few days ago and would prefer not to merge the groups together.
I'm using CS2 if that helps at all.
Any help would be appreciated.

Making fools of us is just a Photoshop side effect I don't believe Adobe programmers do it purposely they just can't seem to get thing right so the keep changing and breaking Photoshop. Photoshop culture take some time to become accustom too.

My selection tool don't work normally !

My selection tool won't select swatch colours and I can’t move easily text boxes.
I "trash" my InDesign preferences. I follow Peter Spier’s advice. I put the line in my terminal : rm /Users/petitspaspourlhomme/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version 8.0/fr_FR/*
But it’s change nothing !
What can I do ?

Quelle version de système ? Quelle version d'InDesign ? La vidéo n'est pas nette et j'hésite entre CS6 et CC.
pour répondre à tes questions : j'ai bien effectué le raccourci clavier et j'ai bien eu la question posée.
mais rien ne change !
dois-je recommencer à nouveau ?
Non, ça ne servirait à rien…
toujours impossible de changer la couleur des textes via le nuancier
Il se passe quoi ? Pardonne-moi, mais es-tu une débutante dans InDesign ?
double-cliquer sur la toolbar sur le T
Tu veux parler du panneau de contrôle, en haut de la fenêtre ?
pas possible de bouger normalement les blocs !
Il se passe quoi ?
est-ce qu'il existe des assistants technique à Adobe pouvant aider des personnes dans mon cas

Brush and pencil tools don't work properly when using a tabley

When I use the pen or brush tools with a tablet (VisTablet Original), they just make these long diagonal lines. They work fine when I use a mouse and my tablet works in other programs. Is there any way to fix this?
