It's a little hard to determine whether you're getting wrong/multiple mouse pointers or what from your description... Can you capture the screen showing the problem, and post it here?
As a first suggestion, check to make sure your video drivers are up to date.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you - Just what I needed

It has messed up my being able to work on Facebook. It stops me from using the posting process and other things.

I am unable to using the posting feature on Facebook to share my comments. I also cannot "like" a feed or "comment" on a feed. It has also stopped me from accepting gifts sent to me, and I cannot message anyone.
Someone suggested that Firefox is blocking the pop-ups on Facebook , which is why I cannot use those features.
I also cannot use my media programs such as Lexmark Productivity Studio, HP media center, Windows media Center. It won't let me load pic from my camera into my computer.
All this is happening since I switched from IE to Firefox as my browser and recently to Firefox Beta. I like the speed of FF but not happy about certain features.
I am NOT a techno-nerd or whatever, and I can't afford to pay someone to fix things for me. However, I am a very good learner, as I am/was a grade school teacher.

All depends on what you're starting with and what you're exporting to. If you are exporting a self contained file using the sequences current settings then the export should happen pretty quickly. (length of the sequence and whether it has been rendered being the only real factors) Exporting a non self contained reference file should take even less time.
If you are converting your sequence on export then it will of course take longer depending on how much you are changing or compressing the file. And if you're working with HDV things can slow down dramatically as everything has to be conformed to i-frame.

Using the Blob Brush and Eraser Tools | Learn Illustrator CS6 | Adobe TV

One fun way of creating shapes is to use the Blob Brush tool in combination with the Eraser tool. In this video we'll use these tools to create a stylized teddy bear.

Thanks, I was skeptical at first, but in the end learned a thing or two.

My illustrator free trial does let me access the paint brush tool and other tools (artboards), is his a glitch or a restriction on the trial?

please help!

refarta,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Firefox keeps opening offscreen. I used the move function to get it back onscreen but everytime i reboot it happens again. Is there some setting I can change?

I have 2 displays hooked up, a monitor and my TV(which is usually off). When I hover over the Firefox icon on the taskbar I can see Firefox and the tabs that are open but when I click on them, click restore or maximize nothing happens. i was able to get it back using the move command and somehow either using the arrow keys or moving my mouse I was able to drag the window onto a visible area of my monitor. Is there some setting I need to change so that I don't have to do this every time I reboot? I'm running Windows 8.1. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Firefox stores the last window position in a settings file that can occasionally become corrupted. You could try removing that file and see whether Firefox correctly identifies your primary monitor. Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button to open a new window showing your currently active settings files.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
Start Firefox back up again. Is the window visible?

PS CS5 Extended on Windows
When trying to use the clone stamp and/or healing brush as soon as I move the cursor from the toolbar over to the image I get an exact copy of the existing layer that moves around the window with the movement of the clone stamp/healing brush. This just started tonight. What's causing this weird behaviour?

What are the settings in Window > Clone Source?

We don't know whether this tutorial was written for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, more specifically for which version of PSE. There are differences. Be sure to have the layers palette open.
Try this instead
Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.
To unlock the background layer, double click on it in the layers palette. Perhaps your tutorial will guide you through the process.

Adobe Photoshop CS4/5 Crashes when using the Move Tool

Hello. I'm here because I'm having an issue with Photoshop.
I was trying out CS5 when it started to crash every time I tried to use the Move Tool. It was the generic error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working.
A problem has caused Adobe Photoshop CS4 to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Thinking that it was a CS5 issue, I went back to my copy of CS4, only to find the same thing happening there (I also downgraded because CS5 was also crashing at other random times for some reason, but that's an issue for another time).
This puzzles me because both were working fine before. Granted, I hadn't opened them for a while, but it was a sudden thing.
My first impulse was to uninstall and reinstall CS4. No luck. So then, I uninstalled all third-party plugins, thinking that might be it. Still, the same problem. I started looking around on Google for solutions and found the instructions on resetting the Tool preferences (I chose to reset the preferences for ALL of the tools). When that didn't work, I tried deleting the preferences file outright, which said instructions recommended. Nothing.
I should note that Photoshop crashes when using the Move Tool to move an object without ant lines around it, i.e., a layer. I'll move the object, and after two to three seconds, the mentioned error message will appear and Windows will close Photoshop. This, however, only seems to happen after selecting, copying, and pasting part of a large object with some variation of the Marqee Tool (thus making that part a new layer by default) while working at a zoom of 100%. So, in short, working with a large image like <a href=http://www.wallpaper4me.com/images/wallpapers/ergo_proxy_267_1280-862301.jpeg>This</a> at 100% zoom. The image linked is the image that I was using and am currently using to reproduce the problem. It is 1280x1024 pixels. I have tested this with somewhat smaller, yet comparable images too. Same problem. I have never had this problem working with large images before, and I wonder if anyone has any suggestions short of formatting my hard drive.

Even a decent RAM upgrade is usually only a few hundred dollars nowadays, but it's not a trivially simple process. That said, with a little research and care you can do it. Alternatively, you can hire people (e.g., "Geek Squad") to do such an upgrade.
First, you'll need to know what your operating system capacity is. For example, a 32 bit Windows system can really only use up to a bit more than 3 GB of RAM, while a 64 bit Windows system can use all the RAM you can find a place to plug in. What version of Windows are you running?
Then you'll need to determine what RAM you have installed and what your computer's maximum RAM capacity is - usually you can do this through internet research, either by visiting your computer manufacturer's web site or doing google searches. There are even RAM manufacturer web sites that will tell you what kind of RAM your computer needs and suggest sources, for example:
http://www.kingston.com/
It may be that you can just plug additional chips into currently empty sockets, or it is possible you'll need to replace the RAM chips you have installed in your computer to make room for an upgrade. Every computer is different.
If you list your computer model and current RAM that you have installed here, it may be that someone can help with more specific advice.

I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.

I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. This I have verified, but when I shall put this onto my phone, so the phone will not approve the newusername and password. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? Silly to buy a new phone just for this .... The phone is almost three years old. How long can weexpect this to last? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.

It sounds like your device might be in Activation Lock. Is it asking your to enter in an Apple ID & password, but only showing you the first letter of the email address and then some dots? Example: j•••••@icloud.com?
If so, do you recognize that email? Do you have an Apple ID that fits the same format? If so, then go to www.cloud.com, log in with that Apple ID & password, and see if under Find My iPhone it shows this device. If so, turn off the device, then remove the device from the list.

How do I use the move tool in CS5 to put two images on to an A4 sheet?

Have recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5.
I often print out two images on A4 paper. Under CS3 I would simply adjust and crop 2 images to say 7 ins x 5 ins, after that bring up a new A4 sized sheet (file, new), then using the move tool I'd move the two separate images on to the A4 sheet and print. Fine!
Now under CS5, once I've adjusted my first image then try to bring up a second image to adjust that one I seem to lose the first one from the screen. But on going back via Bridge and clicking on the image it re-appears - problem is, I lose the second image.
When I bring up a new A4 sheet neither of the images stay on the screen and there is nothing to move.
Have been into Preferences to see if there is anything there to help but can't see anything.
Does anyone know what is happening here and what I'm doing wrong i.e. how do I get 2 separate images on to an A4 sheet?
Thanks,
Bob Eveleigh.

There have been changes since cs3, mainly that cs5 uses tabs.
Tabs can be confusing if your coming from cs3.
If your in the tabbed mode, try going to Window>Arrange>Tile.
All your open documents should be visible on the screen.

Get three previous records of the current record

Hi,
I need to get three previous records of the current record in an Oracle Form
Sorry for the lengthy explanation:
I have a table name: ARCHIVE_DATA with column name: coll_time and its data type DATE.
SQL> SELECT COLL_TIME FROM ARCHIVE_DATA;
COLL_TIME
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05

12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
10 rows selected.
SQL> select to_char(coll_time,'dd-mon-yyyy:HH:MI:SS') from ARCHIVE_DATA;
TO_CHAR(COLL_TIME)
12-aug-2005:02:42:00
12-aug-2005:02:43:00
12-aug-2005:02:44:00
12-aug-2005:02:45:00

12-aug-2005:02:50:00
12-aug-2005:02:51:00
10 rows selected.
This is the Requirement:
In a Form's Block(BLK1), for example: the current_record is the fifth record from the top
(i.e. 12-aug-2005:02:46:00)
When the fifth record is the current_record and When I click a button, three previous records of the
current_record should be populated on the screen.
See what I did:
I created another table same as the first table(ARCHIVE_DATA) and its name is: THREE_RECS.
I am inserting three records from the first table(ARCHIVE_DATA) into the second table: THREE_RECS
which are less than the current record and ORDER BY DESC.
CANVAS:
Two blocks (BLK1, BLK2) based on ARCHIVE_DATA and THREE_RECS are on the same CANVAS.
But the first block (BLK1) which is based on the first table:ARCHIVE_DATA is populated with one record and the
second block (BLK2) is empty.
So when I click a particular button (ex: prev_recs), the second block(BLK2) should be populated with
three previous records of the current record( :BLK1.COLL_TIME)
(off course :BLK2 populates with one record and use arrows or scrollbar to get the other two records)
This is the code I wrote in the trigger and followed by the error:
1 BEGIN
2 DECLARE
3 cursor c1 IS
4           SELECT MONITOR_ID,
5               SAMPLE_ID,

25     FOR second_cur_rec in c2(second_cur_rec.COLL_TIME)
26          LOOP
27      IF c2%rowcount < 4 then
28               BEGIN
29               INSERT INTO THREE_RECS
30                    values(second_cur_rec.MONITOR_ID,
31                         second_cur_rec.SAMPLE_ID,
32                         second_cur_rec.COLL_TIME,
33                         second_cur_rec.DEW_POINT);
34               COMMIT;
35               END IF;
36 END LOOP;
37 END IF;
38 END LOOP;
39 END;
40 END;
This is the error I am getting:

This is the error I am getting:
Error 103 at line 14
Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following
a PL/SQL variable or double quoted string
an expanded name
an expanded name link
a table reference __expression
a key word
Resuming parse at line 126, column 46
Thanks in advance

Change C2 to:
cursor c2(passing_date IN date) IS
SELECT MONITOR_ID, SAMPLE_ID,
               COLL_TIME, DEW_POINT
    FROM ARCHIVE_DATA
    WHERE COLL_TIME < passing_date
    ORDER BY COLL_TIME desc;And rather than populating a table with the three records, you could just select the three records using: where COLL_TIME between Prev3_time and Prev1_time

Could not use the move tool because no layers are selected.

This problem started a few days ago. I like to hold down the "Shift" key when moving a layer (either text or image) to keep the horizontal spacing locked. It was never a problem but a dialog box is now popping up with the following note: Could not use the move tool because no layers are selected.
There's no problem if I'm not holding the "Shift" key but I can't keep the layer from moving up or down. I could just use the arrow key but sometimes I need to move the layer quite a distance.
Also, I'm noticing that if I don't have the cursor directly on the type/image layer, regardless of whether the "Shift" key is selected, a rectangle similar to when the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" is used appears and the layer I had selected is no longer selected.
Any ideas as to why this might be happening? Thanks for the help.

Sorry about that. I'm using Photoshop CS4. There are no layer masks and I'm working over a solid white background (although it's happening in all my files, some of which have multiple layers).
I'm mainly designing DVD sleeves, posters, invites, etc. The layers contain images, live text, vector smart objects, etc. and the problem is happening with all layers, regardless of what it is (text or image).
When I have the mouse directly over whatever it is I want to move and hold the shift key I get the "Could not use..." dialog box. When the mouse is NOT over the image/text, but I have the correct layer selected, I get the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" look, a "dashed" rectangular box wherever I've moved the mouse.
Hope the info is helpful and thanks for responding...

Clicking on the dashboard icon opens up the dashboard briefly, and then it opens up Scrabble in Chrome. How do I get it to operate properly?

Back up all data.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. From the Library folder, move the following item to the Trash, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.dashboard.client
and move the following items to the Desktop:
Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.client.plist
Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist
Log out, log back in, and test. If you still have the issue, put the items on the Desktop back where they came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the items.

I get three icons (IE) using the move tool and other tools as well
