I just can't use the "align tool", why?

So, I am creating a logo, but after Illustrator change (now is a lion showing when start the app) I just cannot align my objects on the stage, how could I fix it?

So you want to align one object to the page?
You need to select to "align to the page" in the align panel. "Show options" if you don't see this.
Also: Read the manual on the align panel.

What other issues are you having? Things like the Crop tool can feel strange at first, but I promise you you'll never want to use Classic mode once you get used to it.

it only works on the primary timeline. why and what can I do?

Are you talking about the blade tool? You can use that on any clip, regardless of where it is. If you talking about using the keyboard shortcut, then the connected clip has to be selected. It doesn't have to be a storyline.

Can't use the Zoom Tool to set the Magnification level of pages to diff sizes from the preset ones

Hi, I am trying to use the Zoom Tool and "Set Magnification" on my Dreamweaver CS5.5 in order to view my pages at different magnifications when working on them. My problem is that I need to use different sizes than those sizes that are available under the preset magnification levels list (which are for example 100%, 150% or 200%). These are the ones that come up on the zoom pop-up menu. The dreamweaver tutorial says that I need to type in the size I want (e.g. 115% or 130%) in the "zoom text box" and it will then apply that size to the page but the box does not let me change whatever size is currently in it. I can’t override or delete whatever preset size is in the box or do anything to change the zoom from the pre-set levels! I would really appreciate some help with this thanks

Hi Ben, thank you for the reply, unfortunately that was one of the pages I was looking at to try and fix this issue but it is of no help.
The page says for zooming in and out of a page to "Type a magnification level in the Zoom text box.". My dreamweaver will not let my type a manficiation level in the zoom text box. It just won't let me override whatever is in the box (e.g. 100%) so I can't change it from the default pre-set magnification levels. It is so frustrating!
Does anyone else have any other ideas?
Thanks
Rachel

Can I use the transform tool to resize individual text?

I just installed Illustrator CS6 trial. I have been on Illustrator 9 for years. I am used to clicking on the type tool, then clicking on the artboard and typing a single word. I am not using actual text boxes. When I do that in CS6 I cannot get a bounding box to show me how to resize it using the transform tool (arrow tool). I've gone to view>show bounding box, but it does not do anything. HELP!

april,
You may try to reset the preferences.
You can close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup. If that does not help, you may Move the folder with Illy closed.

How can I use the move tool to drag ONE pixel at a time?

The move tool is stuck to snapping at ~20 pixels at a time, so when I try to move a layer by a few pixels, its super frustrating. I dont want to have to use the arrow keys, I should be able to drag wherever I want.
How can I stop the move tool from snapping? I want to drag things precisely. I am zoomed at 100% if that makes a difference. I cant find anything about this under Preferences.

Can't use the erase tool inside a Layer Mask

Recently after updating Photoshop CC I noticed that I can no longer use the erase tool inside of a Layer Mask to add or remove areas from/to the mask. The paint brush tool still works inside the mask but the erase tool does not. Any ideas why?

Make sure your foreground/background colors are set to BW. And, make sure your foreground color is set to the same color you want to erase from the Layer Mask: Black if you want to erase (turn white) the black part of the mask, White if you want to erase (turn black) the white part of the mask.

Can't use the rotobrush tool because of an error message

Hi!
I have after effects cs6 updated (I just did the update today)
I tried to use for the first time of my life the rotobrush tool. Everytime I try, it's not working because an error message appears:
"After effects warning: A problem occurred when processing OpenGL commands."
I read a lot on the internet and they said to update windows, after effects, video card drivers, which I have already did before this problem. I also have tried to disable OpenGL to see if the problem really is this file, but I searched for hours on the preferences and I don't find where I can disable it. Everything works perfectly, just the rotobrush tool has a problem (I don't know if there's another effect that has a problem because I didn't use all the millions of effects).
I think I need to disable it, but it'd be very sad because it really accelerates my work. Can you tell me how to repair this problem by not disabling OpenGL?

This is what I'm searching: I don't know how to turn it off. I searched all the preferences and I don't find an option "turn openGL off", so I don't know where it is. After doing that, I'll be able to find out if this is really the problem. I have made many tests, and it looks like this error comes when I do a very big job (example: importing a 1 Gb video and tracking it). I don't understand why, as my computer is windows 7 64 bit SP1, 6 Go of RAM, 1 To of hard drive, and external hard drive of 1 To, 4 cores in the processor (2.8 GHz I think) with an ATI 5570 1 Go graphic card and a creative x-fi sound blaster audio card. I have also boosted it with game booster to see if it's because my computer crashes, but the problem continues even with game booster. Every now and then, I clean and defrag my computer, and I have recently formatted it, so it is new. I don't understand why after effects crashes when this error comes, as my computer is not incredible, but still has power. I really want to disable openGL to see if this is the cause of all my problems. Please tell me step by step how to disable it, because I don't know where it is in the preferences (as I said before, I have after effects cs6)
I don't know if this can help you, but I had cs5.5 before and everything was perfect.

You need to ungroup it first. Modify > Ungroup.

Can't use the DPS Tools because I need to update but can't do that...

I want to use the Indesign dps tools but when I try to make a folio my Indesign Folio builer says that I need to update my InDesign in order to use it.
But when I look in the creative cloud app and under 'help' in Indesign it says that my progam seems to be up to date...
So it says that it needs an update of Indesign but I cannot execute an update.
Does anyone have the same problem or knows how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!
Nick Meeuws

I'm not sure what causes this problem. I haven't been able to reproduce it, but I've seen it before. You might want to try creating a new account with admin rights and installing InDesign and DPS using that account. I'll ask around to see if anyone has a better solution.

I can't use the Text Tool

I have not been able to use this tool sense i have got the program if you have any options please let me know.

Hello,
You'll need to give us more information to help us help you with your problem:
What version of Photoshop do you have installed?
What is your Operating System?
What is your computer setup?
And exactly what is not working with the Type Tool? Go step-by-step to describe what you are trying to do.

I can scroll down web pages with my Lenovo ThinkPad X200. I could, but then I got some updates and it doesn't work. I can scroll fine with an external mouse. I just can't use the "scroll controls" on my laptop. Any ideas why? It's frustrating!

When I got my machine two years ago and loaded Firefox, I could scroll with the red button that's on the keyboard of the Lenovo ThinkPad x200. Then, a few months ago, Firefox was updated. Not sure which version. And, now I can't scroll. The keypad scroll works in MS Windows programs. It just doesn't work in Firefox. I can't get anywhere with the options so I'm stuck for now. (The scrolling works in Internet Explorer). So, I think it's something that going on with FireFox not with my computer.

In general, you are correct - but also your server does need to be properly configured (and those errors above lead me to think it may not be) to serve the file types that your uploading - but it could be something else entirely. Can you zip up your composition folder, upload it to your Creative Cloud files, set it to share, and then post a link here so I can download it? If you'd rather not share it publicly, can you PM me with a link to your composition files?

Why can't I use the paintbrush tool?

I'm trying to paint on an image and when I mouse over where I want to paint I get the "prohibited" symbol and can't paint. I opened other .jpgs and was able to paint with no problem. Is there a type of file that you can't use the paintbrush tool on? Please help!

I found this to be a way around this issue:
Open the image that you want to draw on, keep that in its own RGB window.
Open a brand new document, CMYK.
Activate your Brush and draw a few lines on your artboard.
Then, copy and paste your RGB image into this new CMYK color space.
Voila. I think the Brush can only be used in a CMYK color space. And sometimes this does not work when you convert your document to a color space inside the RGB document.
Hope this helps. If anyone else has an alternative, let me know.
I've always had this issue with the Brush.

I just can't use the "align tool", why?
