I get a "no" symbol when I try to use the basic brush.

If I switch to an artistic brush it will work, but every time I try to switch back to the basic brush it just switches itself back. VERY FRUSTRATED...
Thanx.
Debi

The "Basic" brush is not a brush but a place holder to be replaced by a real Brush. Have you tried one from the Brush Swatches in your file?

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
    Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

  • When I try to use the Smart Brush I keep getting this message "Could not use the Smart Brush tool because it is not a valid Photoshop document"

    When I try to use the Smart Brush I keep getting this message "Could not use the Smart Brush tool because it is not a valid Photoshop document". Can someone please help me fix this? It's never done this before until now...

    First go to the editor preferences>general and click this button, then restart the editor and try again. If that doesn't do it, more info, like your version of PSE and your operating system:

  • I am getting an error message when I try to use the rectangle tool.

    This just started today, I use an HP lap top with windows 8, I just downloaded Photoshop in January. Every time I use the rectangle tool I get this message: "Could not use the rectangle tool because of a program error." how do I figure out, and fix, the error.

    Hi Meagan.
    We need to know exactly what version of Photoshop you are using.  There are two versions of Photoshop CC as well as CS6 still available, and it makes a difference.
    We need to know a bit about your hardware.  You say it is an HP, but what is the model number?  How much memory (RAM) does it have, for instance.  An easy way to pass on that information would be to open Photoshop and go Help > System info > Copy and paste it into this thread along with your other answers.
    Has the rectangle tool ever worked?
    Have you had any other issues?
    What have you tried by way of a fix?  It's OK if asking here was your first step.

  • I get an error message when I try to use share function on IPhoto. I get the triangle icon with an exclamation mark inside of it.

    I get an error message when I try to use the share function on iPhoto. When I try to share photos via email a triangle icon with an exclamation mark appears. Why can't I use share function?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 
    Regards
    TD

    Quit the editor, then restart it while holding ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • When I try to use the internal hard drive as a scratch disk I get this error "unable to set scratch disk- the selected directory is on write protect or non-writable media.  Any ideas on how to fix this.  It only happens in fcp.

    When I try to use the internal hard drive as a scratch disk I get this error "unable to set scratch disk- the selected directory is on write protect or non-writable media.  Any ideas on how to fix this.  It only happens in fcp.

    By internal, I assume you're referring to your systems (boot) drive. Is it, by chance, a partitioned dive?
    Also…although many people successfully use their systems drives as scratch disks, over time you'll have better results using a dedicated drive for your media.
    Good luck.

    Are you running modified software on your phone?  This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again. 

  • When I try to use the editor in Joomla, I get the message that cut & paste are not available.

    Hi -- I'm using Joomla to develop a website. When I try to use the editor, I get the message that cut & paste are not available. I am directed to instructions to edit the user.js file. I found the file in xhpnmg5i.default and then inserted the various 'user_pref' lines as instructed changing the site name to "http://localhost". This made no difference whatsoever so I downloaded an add on called allow clipboard helper. Looks great but how do you use it? There's nowhere on the screen that allows you to start the program. I've spend most of the day trying to do something that I'm surprised an open source program doesn't just let me do. HELP

    Uninstall the program then download and reinstall - activate with the serial number from your Amazon purchase.

  • Negative numbers that replace the wifi symbol when I try to use my work or home wifi

    I have noticed that when I try to use the Wifi to send recieve data on my iphone 4, the wifi symbol is replaced by a negative number (eg: -55).  The number will fluctuate up and down.  I am brand new to the iphone (smartphones in gereral actually) and my concern is that my data usage over the 8 days I have had the phone has been astronomical.  90% of the data usage i have been doing as been over what i thought was my wifi network so i should not have been useing anywhere near the data as I have been.
    Could this be causing my connection to automatically switch from my wifi to the network?  Other iphone users i have shown this to have never seen this before.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm scared now to do anything data related on my phone for fear of the insane amount of data i seem to have used.
    Thanks

    You can verify that the phone is new by checking the warranty on this page: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    You have 2 problems. The first is the field test display. You should be able to resove this by rebooting the phone - hold the HOME and POWER buttons at the same time until an Apple log appears, ignoring the "slide..." message. Takes about 10 seconds of holding.
    When the phone is asleep WiFi is turned off, so if you have any background processes running that use data they will use cellular data. If you cannot maintain a WiFi connection when the phone is awake first try rebooting your router. If that doesn't fix it go to the manufacturer's web site and update the router to the latest firmware version. If it happens with all WiFi networks, not just your home network, go to the Settings app - General/Reset - Reset Network Settings.
    If you still have a WiFi problem after this take the phone to an Apple store and they will either fix it ore replace it.

  • Firefox won't open at all, and when I try to use the 'run' feature, it says the file has been moved, etc. I use Windows 8 and I can not lose my bookmarks. Help?

    Firefox has been working great on my computer for months, and then all the sudden it wouldn't load any pages. So naturally I restarted my computer, but when it restarted Firefox wouldn't open at all. The icon glows for a bit like normal, then it fades and never actually opens. When I try to use the 'run' command, I get this error:
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."
    I also tried the same for the file in the x86 folder but it gave the same error, and I went and looked for the files in the location given and they were there.
    Firefox didn't crash, so there aren't any other error messages I can give you.
    The things I had bookmarked are really important, I can not lose those, but other than that I'm fine with anything else needing to re-installed, etc.
    Help please?

    But I can't... find... it... It's not there.
    Unless you're talking about the entire Mozilla Firefox folder (which isn't what the thing you copied says,) there is no installation folder.

  • Error when I try to use the XMLElement(), XMLForest(), etc functions?

  • When I try to use the clone stamp another layer of my picture is copied on the photo I'm working on.  Is this a defect or is there a tool I can use to stop it and return to normal usage of the clone stamp?

    When I try to use the clone stamp another layer of my picture is copied on the photo I'm working on.  Is this a de@@@@fect or is there a tool I can use to stop it and return to normal usage of the clone stamp?

    The "Sample Field" letters are very dim.  After punching several times the right click revels "Clone stamp mode".  The next little circle has a line through it and after several right clicks, it says: "turn on to ignore adjustment layers when cloning,"  Despite this I cannot get any kind of a response to change any of the existing entries.  Bob
