In Photoshop Lighting Effects, I have suddenly lost the icon to reposition lights

I have been running CS6 since late 2012, on my Macbook Pro Retina, without any issues until suddenly today. The panels have suddenly changed & I can no longer find the icon for repositioning the lights. I have done all requested updates but I have not in the last week been asked to update either my OSX interface or Adobe Photoshop, so I can't work out why it suddenly changed overnight.
I have checked to see if the icon's circle has fallen out of the range of the canvas, & tried restarting Photoshop, re-setting to Defaulf workspace etc.
I can put on a light but can't move it because there is no icon with circles to manipulate. How do I get it back?
I can't finish my work without it!
Here ie what my screen looks like. Where has the icon with the controls gone?
How do I get it back?

  • HT1349 I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!

    I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!  I hope it's something quite simple?
    Apologies, but none of the communities listed seems to fit this question - so I'm taking pot luck!

    For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

  • Why have I lost the icons to BB Bridge???

    Everything seemed to be going well, as I've been learning slowly bout the Playbook. I have been able to connect to the internet via bridge mode tethering, wifi etc. Today, attempting to tether I couldn't connect. So, I checked all the connections for bluetooth ect. I noticed that there were no icons for BB Bridge on the home screen, nor on the scroll list next to all, favorites, media, and games.
    What the heck happened. I did load a couple apps from app world, like Air Browser, Unit converter, and PDF Creator, but why would that delete BB Bridge? Do I need to do a hard reset and reload the version I have is 1.0.8.6067

    After speaking with the 90day BB tech support, they told me it was best to reload the OS.
    They said my situation was odd, and that they've not heard of this happening.  I offered a suggestion of possible downloading of apps pushing others off.  Also, I would think there would be an indication of memory full, not allowing the download or capacity check before download.
    Well, the new OS is installed and everything seems to be working like new. So, I'm happy for now, but the tech in me want's to know why....
    So, here are a few questions for you true developers;
    1. Is there a capacity check before loading new apps?
    2. Is there a memory indicator that will allow or deny due to size of app? (I know there is a list with the hardware setting, but wondered if there would be a pop-up of some sort, warning "near full capacity, memory low"?)
    3. Will the OS push some software if other apps are chosen to be downloaded? ie. "the BB Bridge software"
    4. Is there a possibility of corrupt apps, that may have caused this issue?
          (All of the apps loaded were directly through appworld, via wifi connection direct to Playbook.)
    5. Do any of the apps listed in the OP have known issues?

  • Have suddenly lost ability to connect to internet. Account and bills up to

    I have suddenly lost ability to connect to the internet, include itunes and App Store. Account and bills up to up date. ANy assistance appreciated

    I am having this problem as well. In the last week or two, my calendars haven't been syncing properly. Nothing goes updates to my main computer from the phone. Then in the last few days I could only access the internet sporadically, today not at all. No map showing in the gps, safari doesn't work, no weather... It says 'Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding'. The 3G wheel is spinning and shows that there is service.
    I reset my phone completely a couple of days ago, reset history/cache, etc in settings, have turned it off and on, etc with no change.

  • Why have I suddenly lost the ability to listen to I-tunes radio?

    Why Have I suddenly lost the ability to use tunes Radio?  If I click on Music now   It does not give me teh option for radio any more.

    itune radio can play only in selected region ( Like USA) so make sure that your itune account is set to USA. If you change store to some place else that are not in the list, you are lost the ability to access to itune radio.

  • TS3274 my ipad 2 suddenly lost the sound.  all else works.

    my ipad 2 suddenly lost the sound.  all else works.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

    I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

    Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1.  An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6.  If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates.  If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

  • RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop.  Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop.  How can I correct that?

    RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop.  Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop.  How can I correct that?

    Your question is a little unclear. In a "normal" Lightroom/Photoshop workflow the raw images do not open from Lightroom into Camera Raw. Lightroom has all of the Camera Raw functionality in the develop module. When you choose to open an image in Photoshop, and Lightroom and Photoshop are synchronized (i.e. referencing the same version of Camera Raw) then Camera Raw is simply used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments as the image is transferred to Photoshop. If Camera Raw is an older version then Lightroom offers you the choice to open the image or create a PSD or TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments. But in either case, opening in Camera Raw is not part of the workflow. It is possible to open the image as a smart object or convert the image to the smart object in Photoshop and then open it in Camera Raw. That is done from within Photoshop or is one of the open options in Lightroom. If you choose to go the smart object route the image first has to be opened in Photoshop and then from there you can open it in Camera Raw.

    I have recently lost the ability to connect my ipad to Apple TV.  Any thoughts?

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.
