  • How can I get CS4 tools to work in Open GL?

    Facts--Bought CS4--installed fine--problem noted with pop up that my video card needed upgrading--looked on Adobe site for suitable video cards, talked with Dell--installed nVidia G9500 which I was told should solve all problems--reinstalled PHOTOSHOP CS4 number of times when subsequently program tools refused to work (example--clone brush shows area chosen but does not deposit chosen texture/color, brush won't put down color, etc)--found update for video driver and installed--CS4 tools worked for 5 min then stopped--repeated former steps of reinstalling. Talked with both Adobe and NVidia, each points the finger at the other. I'm a Photoshop professional and need this program for my work.
    I have multiple drive Dell XPS system, 4G RAM using WinXP32
    Any Windows/Photoshop genuises out there with answers that neither vendor can offer?
    Will be profoundly grateful!!!

    Did you go to the Nvidia website and download the newest drivers? You did say if it was a laptop or not. Here is the driver page for the card. Just run the driver update on the webpage again if you have a laptop.

    Did you update CS4 to 11.0.1?

  • My callout toolbar stopped working abruptly.  Restarted computer.  Still doesn't work - how do I get the tool back?

    My callout toolbar stopped working abruptly.  Restarted computer.  Still doesn't work - how do I get the tool back?

    The tool is called a “callout” note.  It places a text box with a leader.  It’s been working just fine until suddenly it stopped working and I get an error message saying “desired operation cannot be performed on this object”.  It doesn’t matter where I try to place the callout.  It simply stopped working.  I have tried restarting Acrobat.  I have restarted my computer.  I have used multiple files to ensure the issue isn’t with a corrupted file.  Nothing works.  The tool simply stopped working.

  • I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

    I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

  • I am trying to setup my ipad 2 but I can't get back to the wi-fi connections section.  How do I get there, nothing is working.

    I am trying to setup my ipad 2 but I can't get back to the wi-fi connections section.  How do I get there, nothing is working.

    The Wi-Fi connections section is in Settings > Wi-Fi
    If the home screen is not visible tap the Home button, the button on the front of your iPad that has the rounded square in it. Once you reach the Home screen swipe through the screen of apps until you find the Settings app. Tap Settings and go to Wi-Fi.
    If your iPad is completely non responsive, try a restart.
    Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep button simultaneously ignoring the red slider. Keep holding until the Aple logo appears and your iPad will restart.
    The sleep button is on the side of your iPad on the side opposite from the Home button.

  • The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch.  How do I get it to begin working?  It just stopped today.

    The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch.  How do I get it to begin working?  It just stopped today.
    Does anyone know what I can do?  I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing.  The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

    Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?

       How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?  As it goes now, one clicks on the song in the new playlist where the arrow is and then chooses 'Play Song Next.'  So, it plays next, but then the song after that is back in the old playlist.  I want to use iTunes smoothly without the extra clicks I've had to do in order to get the playlist to continue.  This is music for background while I play the violin at restaurants, and extra clicks and hassle is quite unappreciated, especailly since it worked fine in the previous iTunes.
       Thanks.

    At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
    If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

  • How do i get air play to work from my macbook to apple tv

    How do i get air play to work from my macbook to apple tv? It does work with some programs like itunes but I can't get it to work with safari.

    apple tv does not work in safari. there is no web browsing capabilities on the apple tv..
    however what you are probably referring to is mirroring? iPad 2 and iPhone 4s have mirroring capabilities, so what you have on the screen is exactly what would appear in the apple tv..
    on ipad for example...ignore the settings page. Instead, go to the iPod controls. Double-press your home button to see the multitasking bar, showing all your recent apps. Swipe your finger from right to left for the mirroring icon; you'll see the AirPlay icon. Tap on that, select your Apple TV and toggle the mirror button to 'on'.

  • HT3310 how do i get my headphone to work with the iphone?

    how do i get my headphone to work with the iphone? Are there some settings
    that I need to turn on so I can use my headphone while talking on the phone?

    Are you using the earbuds that came with the iPhone? If you are using other earphones, it's possible that they need an adaptor to work with the iPhone's recessed headphone jack. 

  • How do I get Front Row to work with Lion?

    Hello fellow Mac users,
    How do I get Front Row to work with Lion? I have an iMac 27 inch computer and is the sole entertainment provider for my bedroom. I refuse to put a TV in my room and wanted to know how to get Front Row to work again on my mac? It seems that the upgrade to Lion erased the app.
    I have quite a few movies and series that I bought off iTunes and is a shame that I can't use a media center app like Front Row on Lion.

    I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
    There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
    Thanks!
    Best,
    Tony

  • How do I get my AppleID to work with iCloud?

    How do I get my AppleID to work with iCloud? It says that I have a valid ID, but that I can't use it with iCloud...
    How do I fix this?
    Thanks!!

    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
