How to stop the white arrow from selecting all layer shapes

Hi Everyone, I just switched from cs6 to CC. I was very accustomed to this. If I wanted to say make a rectangle shape wider, first I would have the layer shape selected in the layers menu, next I would select the white arrow tool, then I would clicking/drag to select certain points on a shape. Once those points were selected I would just use shift and the arrows keys to extend my shape. Now if I attempt to do so with creative cloud photoshop, if there are any other shapes in the same area, the white arrow tool will select all shapes points, which doesnt make sense to me b/c I still just have the "rectangle shape layer selected in the layers menu". Can anyone help me out? Hopefully I explained myself well enough.

If you look at the tool options bar with the Direct Selection Tool (white arrow), do you have Select set to Active Layers?
Have you updated photoshop cc to version 14.2.1?

    How to stop the option key from changing my tools when I am trying to subtract from a selection?
    I'm running CS3 on Mac OS Leopard, and the automatic tool switching slows me down, but even preferences doesn't show a way to turn this off.
    Thanks for your help.

    With any marquee tool, JUST holding down the option key should not switch tools. You need to explain the problem much more carefully, It's completely impossible to tell from your description whats going wrong.
    automatic tool switching
    The only preference related to this, is to do with the SHIFT KEY - "use Shift key for tool switch".

  • How to stop the tab bar from automatically hiding itself?

    ive only found how to stop the address bar from disappearing and everyone with the tab problem seems to have posted this over a week ago and still hasnt been fixed yet if noone has a fix im out and done with firefox they can suck a fat one
    why add this feature! i can understand the address bar but not the tabs all you have to do to hide it was push the tab button again and its gone was that so fucking hard that you had ruin a perfectly fine browser

    Hello,
    In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and facilitate future improvements to Firefox, the option to hide the tab bar was removed.
    Fortunately, this can easily be resolved if you desire the keep tabs hidden. You can install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ Hide tab bar with one tab]", an extension hosted on Mozilla's add-ons site, which will restore the ability to hide the tab bar.
    Thank you and I hope this helps!

    Make sure to quit all open applications before logging out.
    Your proflie indicates your Mac has v10.7.1 installed.
    If that is the case, updating your system software will help as far as functionaly as well as security.
    Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)

    Anyone know how to stop the "activate" box from blocking usage of a perfectly legal copy of Ilisten? I want to help my dyslexic grandson and this box, including the activation code, keeps popping up, keeping me from using the software. I activated the program and did a few profile building sessions, now it pops up each time I start the program, blocking me from using it. Help sure would be appreciated.
    Jay

    I looked at your post this morning and did not know enough to respond, other than to find out that links to iListen now go to newer, renamed software. Considering it's been nine hours with no response, I'm suspecting few people here have experience with that software. You could contact the current copmany that used to sell that package and see if they have any archived support info.
    BTW: please check you entry for "Mac OS" in your profile. It says iOS, which cannot run on an iMac. iOS is the system for phone and iPads but can't run on Mac computers. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and see what it says about the OS version. Should look like this:
    If the "Processor" line says "Intel," you have a newer Mac than the old modles this forum covers; Intel iMac have their very own forum here:

    Check your style sheets. Something is giving a link a background color. Look for something like this:

  • How to stop the AppleTV remote from affecting the desktop screen?

    When someone else is using AppleTV, and scrolling with the remote, the desktop screen often goes dark and goes to the AppleTV menu. Really annoying when someone else is trying to work. Is there a way to unconnect the two? Why does the remote also affect the desktop screen...Sorry to be obtuse, maybe there is a good reason I haven't thought of? How to stop it? Thanks.

    You don't need the IR receiver to be on to sync. Syncing is done through the network (a cabled connection or wireless network)
    You can turn of your Mac's ability to respond to remotes:
    1. Open System Preferences
    2. Click Security under the Personal category
    3. Check Disable remote control infrared receiver
    If you want it to respond to a remote, instead of disable you can pair it with a single remote, and then it will only respond to that specific remote.

  • How to stop the "Tab Key" from acting as a "SEND" button in gmail

    Since installing the Firefox update today, when I hit the keyboard Tab Key in the course of composing an email on gmail, it sends the (!unfinished!) message. I need to disable this "feature". How?

    In the compose window if you hit tab you are tabbing through the buttons on the compose window. You have to hit space in order to sent the message. Please check to see if there is a feature in your gmail that is added to the default. Or see if there is an add on that has saved this feature. You can try safe mode to eliminate the add on theory [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] and reset Firefox if it is a saved application preference.

  • How to prevent the Firefox cache from clearing -- all settings are right, but the cache is gone after each restart.

    I want to prevent cache from being deleted after each restart. "Clear history when Firefox closes" is unchecked. User.js files are deleted. Checking "Override automatic cache management" made Cache folder appear in addition to Cache2. After exiting Cache is still there, but upon Firefox re-launching, Cache turns into Cache.Trash and promptly disappears. What to do?

    Hello,
    I'm sorry to hear that. Can you please try these solution to address your concern.
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->

    Thank you.

  • Can't stop the double arrow from going constantly

    I can’t get my blackberry 9630 V5.0.0.975 double ended arrows to stop going until it wears down the battery in about 15 minutes and then it is dead.  If I take the battery out and turn it back on it will be fine, maybe for up to a couple days, but at some point it will start the double ended arrows in the upper right hand corner until it dies.  Does anyone know any way I can have it stop doing this?  

    Hello A_G, 
    Welcome to the forums. 
    When you notice this happening are you using any data intensive application or using an instant messaging application? The arrows moving back and forth mean there is data being sent and received. Do you notice this happening in a specific location? It could also be that you are not getting a good data connection.
