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.

  • 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:

  • Help my headphones have stopped working

    I was watching a video done in flash. I opened up the menu trying to make it full screen. I went into the setting tab and hit the Microphone tab. Now all sounds comes out of the laptopn speakers and the headphones simply do not work.
    I do not even think I clicked in the mircophone menu.

    ChickInVici,
    Having similar issue with iPad 2.  No volume on Apps or Music (except when using headphones).  Just started happening after months of no issues.  Have reset/ restored with no solution.  Can you provide more detail with your solution?  I went to >settings>accessibility>voiceover.....but could not find headphones etc... what am I missing.  Could you be more specific on what you changed to resolve your issue.
    thanks

  • 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!

  • Help please - have a Nano and a Shuffle and neither are working! The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to do anything. I've done the reset,it worked the first time but not since. And the shuffle won't sync with my library!

    Hi,
    I have an iPod shuffle 4th generation and an iPod Nano 5th generation . The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to play or anything. I've done the reset and it worked the first time, but now the only way I can get it to play anything is to shake it and go with the shuffle choices - I can't change volume, song, pause or turn it off.
    So, I decided to start using the Shuffle which I was given as a present last year. I've plugged it into my laptop (running windows 8 and newest version of iTunes). It appears in iTunes on the left hand side, but when I click to sync (whether I tick sync all or choose artists) it says synched but has no music. It seems to not be linked to the music library - when I tick synch all songs, next to the "sync music" it says 0 songs?
    Any help to fix either would be really appreciated - I'm without any music at the moment and I'm going away this weekend!
    Thanks

    Hi Bblairjones,
    If you are having issues with your Nano and Shuffle, you may want to try the Troubleshooting Assistants on the following page:

  • My external speakers have stopped working. A circle with a line through it shows up when I try to adjust the volume.  I have been in system prefrences to check all the sound settings and everything is set properly.  What do I need to do to fix this. Help!

    Though I have doubts for success, you might try a SMC reset.  It can do no harm.  Otherwise, barring suggestions from others, the Apple Store or qualified repair facility is the last option.

  • I'm running Indesign CS5 & it appears my Adobe PDF presesets have stopped working. Can you help?

    I'm running Indesign CS5 & it appears my Adobe PDF presesets have stopped working. Can you help?

    It's under utilities in the window menu.
    If the simple PDF works, that may indicate a problem with the file after all, but one way to to force the export to the foreground is to create a new Book (File > New > Book), then add the file that's giving you trouble to that book. (a Book is just a container format used to combine multiple .indd files into a single output)
    From the Book panel flyout menu you can export to PDF and see what that does. Failure indicates a file problem, success a background task problem.
    It's a little odd that you aren't getting an error message....
    Anyway, if the problem is the file, try export in two halves. If both halves export, it's a system resources problem and not much you can do other than attempt to see what is using all the memory (probably some large complex vector object, or many vector objects) or just do the export in chunks that work and combine them in Acrobat Pro. If one half fails, try exporting half  fo the failing half at a time. Keep dividing the failing half until you isolate a page with the problem.

  • 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.

    > 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.
