Install question- blur tool not working and guided option doesn't show a menu

I bought and dowloaded PSE11.  However, I don't think I disabled my virusware.  It took an especially long time to download and I don't know if it downloaded correctly.  My blur tool does not work and my "guided" options are not there.  What is the easiest fix- unistall and remove the serial number then reistall using same serial number?  My question with this is- how many times can I do this, and or is there an easier fix?  I have PSE11 and LR4 and I am going back and forth between which one to use.  I really need all the options to work from PSE11.  I am not a great IT person so I need the answer in basic easy language to understand please:-)
Thanks

The blur tool doesn't do much under the best of circumstances, so it may be working and just not making enough of a difference to see. However, for the problem with guided edit, reinstalling is probably the easiest solution at this point. Activation is tied to your hardware so you don't need to deactivate PSE if you don't want to, but it won't hurt to deactivate it. There is a limit, but for reinstalls on the same machine it's unlikely you'd ever get there, and if by some chance you did, you just contact activation support to reset things.

  • Creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be

    creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be !
    I go to blur a painting i am doing and it does not blur enough and I am using wacom Intuos 5 med pen tablet.
    and I even set the tablets sensitivty for pressure lower then default and still not getting the blur tool to do its job.
    I even adjusted the brush settings too to be able to blur even more on hard settings, still nothing.
    at least it not bluring enough to see any major changes.
    the only way i can blur anything is by using the fliters blur or the brushes ( mixer brush ) settings to mix colors and do it that way.
    (note) I will not post my systems specs sorry I don't do that and even the tech from adobe said I do not have to. and so I wont !
    just need advise not to share system specs.
    and thats what this forums board is for getting advice and read what others say about the issue at hand.
    it's not to post or share system specs  !!!
    so with that out of the way I need advice only please ?

    Hi,
    It might be your image is too big in terms of pixel dimensions for the blur tool to work well.
    If you zoom to 100% do you see any change when using the blur tool?
    What are the pixel dimensions of the image?
    (Image>Image Size)
    If you try a small image, does the blur tool work?
    What about when you use the mouse instead of your tablet?
    Can you at least tell us what operating system and version of photoshop your using?

  • My power button is not working and my phone doesn't wanna turn on i've tried to charge it so it can turn on like it usually does but it's not turning on

    my power button is not working and my phone doesn't wanna turn on i've tried to charge it so it can turn on like i usually does but it's not turning on

    Hold down on the home button simultaenously holding on the sleep wake button (power button) hold it for more than 15 seconds this will then shut down the device.
    If the device is already shut off do this same sequence to see if you get an apple logo. If you get the logo allow the device to login. Write back if this does not resolve your issue.
    Good luck Friend.

  • Clean install of Mountain Lion not working and everything's gone!

    Created bootable USB install of Mountain Lion to do clean install so I could give my laptop to my sister - erased partition via disk utility - only USB Mac OSX Install ESD shows up for startup disks and that doesn't work when I try to install from there! HELP!
    There WAS a recovery disk but I erased that too. I think it's a complete blank computer and the USB drive has nothing to open it with... no clue why it's not working otherwise!

    Thing is, that bootable copy isn't really a bootcable copy unless you created that via some non-Apple guides on the web.  The one off Apple's site that tells you how to make a bootable USB stick doesn't actually put the install files on there.  It just puts the necessary files to get it booted and up to the web to do a download of it.
    This is the writeup you need to follow.  http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/17/make-bootable-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion-usb-install -drive/
    Of course, if your laptop came with ML already on it, you won't be able to download the installer because they'll make you pay for it no matter what.  You'll need to get your hands on that .app file so you can extract the necessary .dmg file from it.  The nice part is, it doesn't matter where that .app file comes from (Purchase ID wise), you just need one folder out of it and that's all.  If you have a friend that upgraded to ML and has the ability to redownload the app from the store, you can get it that way.
    Again, as long as your laptop came with ML preinstalled, this is legal to do.  If it did not and it came with Lion, then you need to install Lion on it before you can legally give it away or sell it with the appropriate OS license on it.

  • Blur tool not working in elements 11

    I tried resetting 11.0 in %appdata% to a new name and then restarted elements. This worked before (several times) but did not work this time. Any thoughts? It seems to be a very fickle tool.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Click in the tools pallet and select your tool, then go to the Tool Options bar at the bottom of the workspace. Click on the dropdown list to the right and choose Reset Tool.

  • Iphone 5 - Not working and usual options are not correcting the issue

    My iPhone 5 will not start.  I have tried many options listed on this site, however I have been unsuccesful in resolving the issue myself.
    This is an issue that I had last May, which resolved itself after 2 or 3 weeks.  I was discussing this with Apple support but got no answer on how to fix it.  As it 'self fixed' (i.e. I did not do anything new that I was not trying for 2-3 weeks already and the phone just began operating normally) I guessed it was fixed so I stopped looking for a solution to a problem that did not exist any more.
    However, the problem started again last week. 
    That is to say, the iphone powered down and could not be restarted immediately.  I used the 'hard start' option which worked a couple of times, but now it will not restart.  During an 'up' period, I upgraded the software to the lastest public release thinking that this might help.  However, it has not.
    Now, I only get a visual of the USB cord and a message to connect to itunes.  When I connect to itunes it does not recognize the phone but does recognize that there is a software error.  When I try to restore, it does not work as it brings me back to the error message.
    Anyone any ideas?  I am trying to organise the final pieces of my wedding in 6 weeks and I really need the phone to work right now! I will be contacting apple directly in the mean time, but if anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful.
    Thanks.

    Still I can't do anything ... the phone still same when i tried to re do the steps again given that itunes can't restore the phone " unkown error "
    What to do ?/??

  • Selection tool not working and cannot select layers

    Just loaded up cs5 w/ indesign and tried to start using indesign. To my dismay the selection tool and the layers will not high light when pointed to or work when clicked upon. these are the only tool i've found not to be working so far. 

    Are you using Windows 7, if so, see InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)
    If not, what is the OS, and what language is the installation of ID?

  • Photoshop CS4 64 bit  - Clone Tool does not work (and other tools)

    Hello.
    I have been using Photoshop for many years going back to v5.  I had used Design Prem Suite CS4 for the past year on an XP machine.  All worked fine.  I recently moved to WIndows 7 (64 bit) to get the add memory usage.  CS4 installs both 64 and 32 bit versions on Windows 7 64 bit.  So far all good.   Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.  I am at a dead end and really have no confidence in getting Adobe's help.
    My tools are working erratically, especially the cloning and healing tools.  I can't even use Photoshop in its current state and this has been going on now for weeks, no help from Adobe on my lates support ticket post.
    I canonly say that the clong tools is all over the place including but not limited to:
    * When I sample and then click to stamp, lines shoot across across the image as it I clone a line not a single sample area. These stamps can be the length of the enite image.
    * when I sample, then click to stamp, some the stamps occurs on some other part of the image.
    * when I sample and the click to stamp, nothing happens. I have to click several times.
    * when I sample and then click to stampl, the prior location I stamped has the clone applied
    There are more, but this is to just give an example.
    Notes:
    * I have trashed preferences at least 20 times and the problem immediately reappears
    * The problem happens in both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of PS running in Windows 7 65 bit
    * The problem occurs with OpenGL tuned on and off
    *  I have installed the latest PC patch 11.0.1
    * I have updated my latest NVidia drives. They are current.
    * I uninstalled Photoshop (kept the rest of Suite) and that did not work, and the same problem reappeared.  I am not uninstalling the complete suite but the reinstall has error (that is a separate issue)
    * I have triple monitors running off 2 GeForce 9800 GT cards.  These worked flawlessly before upgrading to the Windows 7 64 bit configuration.  When I upgrades, I replaced the processor, motherbaord and moved to 12 GB ram. The graphic cards are the same.
    Other tool issues:
    * I have similar problems with the healing brush
    * sometomes the text tool acts strange. I will click to enter text and a large area opens to enter text instead of just the cursor positioned ready for text.  Then other times it works normally.
    * the move tools sometimesacts strange. For example, if I try to move some test, the text jumps and moves of the image and I have to find it to drag it back on the image.
    Thanks in advance

    All I can say is...  Boy am I glad I have an ATI card that just works (and that's including Photoshop CS4/CS5 32/64 bit)!
    One thing I'm not sure was mentioned above...  Try changing your Advanced OpenGL preferences to "Basic" or even turning off OpenGL to see if it affects the issue.  Also try disabling the Show Overlay function in the CLONE SOURCE palette.
    Best of luck getting to the bottom of these problems, guys.  If they run on too long, consider switching brands.

  • Just completed a clean install of CS6 Photoshop on my Yosemite Mac Book Pro and the Adobe Application Manager does not work and cannot install a fresh copy from Adobe

    Just re-installed a fresh copy of CS6 Photoshop on my Yosemite Mac Book Pro and somehow the Adobe Application Manager does not work and therefore cannot verify my copy.  What should I do?
    I get a message saying that Adobe Application Manager may be damaged and that I should install a new version of AAM.  But after downloading a fresh copy of AAM and doing the install, the program (AAM) still will not install.  It is like an infinite loop!
    Please, someone help!
    Thanks!

    HI gener7!
    I'm sorry but I am not on Creative Cloud.  I'm still on CS6 and it was the Adobe Application Manager that wasn't working and I could not install the update to this application.  My AAM version is:  8.0.0160
    The link you provided was the update that I wanted to install but it does not work.  A window shows up during that install that says:
    We've encountered the following issues.
    Installer failed to initialize.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.
    and then the link to the Adobe Support Advisor which leads to a "Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued" page.
    Thanks!

    Sending by Dropbox where, To who, to what computer? As your does not start up.
    You need to take at least the OS disc to a work Mac computer and create DMG from the OS install disc then restore that DMG to USB thumb drive. Then you can boot the computer from that thumb drive and install the OS. That is if your hard drive is functioning correctly.
    Then you can use the App disc in the external CD/DVD drive to load up all the included Applications that come with your version of OS X.

    What is going on with this latest update as its like a return to Windows with things crashing or hanging up every few minutes????
    On a MacBook Air that has not been updated everything still works so what has 10.6.8 done and why won't the restore to 10.6.7 work?
    Steve

    None of those things you mentioned were what I suggested.
    I'm guessing the "ctrl click in printer preferences" means you Reset the Printing System?
    If so, that is what I would have suggested if deleting it by selecting the ( - ) button and then adding it with the ( + ) button.
    But, if HP has a fix, it likely needs to update its drivers.

    Try going to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
