In PSE 12, I lost the left hand tool bar in the GUIDED mode, how do I get it back?

I generally use Elements in Guided mode and Expert. But at some point I lost the tools on the left hand side. The pencil and brush, the blur and healing tool, etc. Basically everything one needs to work. But Expert and Quick modes still have their tool sets. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I would really appreciate any information I can get!

Hi Brian,
Basically, you got that right. Where i have complete tool sets for Quick and Expert, I only have the hand and magnifying glass in guided. And this happened only in the last 2 weeks, prior to that the Guided mode had its complete set as well.
I'm beginning to suspect that theres a problem with this version of Elements. I am a long time user of Adobe Illustrator, and many a time I would inadvertantly  mis-key something that would call up a screen change that would drive me nuts for a few minutes. I thought that maybe I had done something like that here,- with Elements. Not out of the question. But I'm older and slower, and never was as fluent in PS as Illustrator.
I am curious, I know these forums exist to help one another,- and I am grateful for whatever help I get, BUT doesn't there come a point where the manufacturer of the product should "step up to the plate" as they say??
Again, thanks for your help.
Fred

    I have CS6 and ghave suddenly 'lost' the T Type tool from the left hand tool bar. How do I get it back please?

    Do you have the Text on a Path tool in it's place, or no tool at all? If you press and hold any tool with samll triangle in the lower right corner, like the text tool, it will expand to show you the other tools available in that spot.

  • My Firefox drop down box located in the upper left hand corner is no longer there. How do I get it back

    The only thing that appears above is the URL and the tabs that have been open. I have no other bars across the top of the screen. I especially need the Firefox Box in the left hand corner which includes commands to print, commands to bookmark a page, commands to clear History.

    Hi,
    Enabling / disabling the '''Menu Bar''' via '''View''' ('''Alt '''+ '''V''') > '''Toolbars''' alternates between the Firefox drop down box and the menu bar. To temporarily view the menu bar after the Firefox drop down box is activated, press '''Alt''' or '''F10'''.

  • I am new to this IPOD thing.  I am trying to get rid of playlists showing in the left hand column of my itunes window? how can I get rid of these?

    I am trying to learn how to add and delete playlists.  I have some libraries showing up on the left hand side of my i-tunes screen on my computer with duplicates and triplicates.  How do I delete these. 

    ok, are you using mac or windows?

  • Some of the tools have disappeared from my tool bar in PS CC.  How can I get them back?  I have burn but dodge has disappeared.

    The deeper levels of tools have all disappeared from my Tool Bar.  Clicking on the arrow beside the tool does nothing?  How do I get them back?  I have restarted both Photoshop and my computer and this does not help.  Thanks.

    Try "Reset All Tools"  Right-click on the Hand Tool in the Options bar, or whatever tool is active, and click on Reset all Tools from the menu.
    This screen shot will show you where that is.

  • I do not know if I hit a botton or what but the top of the tool bar where the bookmarks and tools tabs are is gone. How do I get it back?

  • I, am now getting annoyed with i-cloud. I had an express lane discussion with your support group earlier this morning after discovering that the cloud icon wasn't next to music in the left hand side bar.

    I, am now getting annoyed with i-cloud.
    I, have spent considerable time trying to connect my i-pod touch wirelessly with no success untill I saw on the i-tunes store tab that my i-tunes match was not turned on. I clicked to turn it on and I was asked to add this computer which I have already done. I talked to the Apple support group and they talked me through the set up  through add this computer again! But sure enough it worked I had the cloud icon next to music in the left hand side bar and in the store tab i-tune match was turned on and everything seemed to be working.
    I, looked again less than half an hour later and i-tunes match was turned off again. I began to turn it on again and now I get asked to pay the i-cloud subscription. How is this resolved?

        I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.
    Thank you,

  • Formatting on several websites is incorrect. Everything loads on the left hand side one after the other. Clearing 'Everything' from history works temporarily...

    Formatting on several websites is incorrect. Everything loads on the left hand side one after the other. Clearing 'Everything' from the search history fixes the problem temporarily, for a very short time. I've been using Firefox for years and I've only recently been getting this problem. It's been happening on both Windows 7 and 8. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but this problem has only arose since I upgraded to fiber power broadband, 100Mb. The link below is just one of many.

    Thanks for the advise. I already tried Safe Mode and the problem persists though...

  • Just downloaded Maverick and lost the apps I purchased - Notes and Bejeweled 3.  How do I get them back without repurchasing?

    I just dowloaded Maverick and lost the Apps I purchased:  Notes and Bejeweled 3.  How do I get them back without paying for them again?

    Thanks so much for being out there for me - someone I can talk to.  I went to purchases and unfortunately it is no longer there. I dowloaded the Notes App again for free.  I will just buy Bejeweled again.    I guess the price of downloading maverick was losing my beloved video game.  But you have put my mind at ease - I appreciate knowing I did all I could do to recover it.

    Open the mail app then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slide to power off thing appears. Without sliding the bar, press and hold the home button until the app quits.
    Also clear the mail app from multitasking bar too. Then open mail app and check again
