Jpeg edges in Illustrator prevent any action

Hi,
I am brand new to Photoshop and Illustrator. I have CS5.5
When I open a jpeg in Illustrator, the "edges" (i.e. the box around the picture) prevent me from doing anything. When you hover over this box it actually says "edge".
I am trying to ungroup a picture in order to (hopefully) change the colour of each item.
I have tried the help pages as well as the Internet in vain. I have tried another jpeg just in case but the same thing happens. When I open the pic in Illustrator, the edges/box prevent me from proceeding further.
Can anyone help with the ungrouping and changing colours tasks please?
Many thanks

Dear Erica Lynne
Thank you so much. I cannot believe I have just spent hours on this trying to solve an unsolvable mystery. This is because I found an excellent webpage about how to ungroup and then interlock letters in Illustrator that also gave the same instructions for objects. But it did not say anything about the pixels issue. I managed the letters ungrouping/interlocking straight in Illustrator and thought it could be done with any picture. I have a lot to learn!
Anyway I have just tried to follow your advice to change the colours in Photoshop by selecting each item in the pic and then used the paint bucket. It worked. It will need refining and possibly using a better, more subtle tool, but I am much nearer my goal.
So thanks again!
Anna

  • After reinstalling, a blank pop-up appears in the middle of the page, which has no copy and no way to delete, but it prevents taking any action on page.

    I had to restore my hard drive to a date two weeks earlier to eliminate an issue I was having. For some reason, this buggered my Firefox browser. I uninstalled it then reinstalled it (several times, now). It appears the reinstall is successful; however, when I open Firefox, a pop-up appears in the center of my homepage. It is blank except for a tiny box that I can check and uncheck and a grey bar in its center that doesn't seem to do much of anything. There is no copy in the pop-up. There doesn't appear to be any way to close it and it prevents me from from taking any other action including closing the page. Any clue what this pop-up is and how I might eliminate it? It doesn't appear with any other of my browsers.

    I can't take any action once my Foxfire homepage is open and the mystery pop-up appears, which is immediately. I have to restart my PC to close Firefox because the pop-up prevents my doing anything connected to Foxfire. I can open other browsers or do other functions, such as open documents, but Firefox is frozen on the homepage. And, although I can move the cursor around the page, I can't click on anything.

  • Signout screen appears as soon as we try to click any action on the page.

    We are using a jsp page to do authentication and then to redirect to PS. Redirect works fine and the Single sign on code also works fine and allows us inside peoplesoft. The problem is once inside peoplesoft if we try to click on any action like view a page or click save , any action it basically throws us out and gives sign out page. Any ideas...

    Jim, Thanks for your quick reply.. It looks like the PS_TOKEN is same in the fiddler before and after logout. When i click on the content page i get 302 move. Please review my Request and Response log from Fiddler. Also we do not have multiple domains. The only thing is the webserver is on a different server and the appserver is on different server and they both have the same authentication domain. I really appreciate your help...

  • Constant message pop up when trying to back up a page with back arrow - "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."

    To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. Pop up message comes up when trying to use back arrow.

    You can't suppress that alert.
    You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a POST form. The only way that Firefox can make sure to get the same page is by resending that POST form. Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.
    The only way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click. Then you can close that tab or window to go back.

    I just updated to IOS 7 on my iPad and iPhone, and now I am losing my Yahoo inbox if I take ANY action on an email. Help!

    I had the same problem.  After numerous attemps to Restore from Itunes, I decided to use the "Setup as New Ipad" option. It went through a few question on new setups. Afterwards all my apps, data, photo's were still intact. Which shows that the Restore from Itunes worked. There must be a small bug that prevents the Ipad to open after "Restore from Itunes" .  Hope it will help you. 

  • WHile playing a game why am i getting this.....To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. [Resend][Cancel]......and what can i do to get it to quit?

    I am playing a facebook game called Kingdom of Camelot. This come up when I refresh the game. To my knowledge no information is sent. I need it to stop interfering with my page when i refresh . I have deleted/uninstalled my extensions and plug ins and i am still getting the message.

    Perhaps someone should report this to MarketWatch. There are ways for web developers to work around this issue (GET after POST, for example).
    This is a longstanding issue. Examples:

    In past discussions about this message, I have never seen an easy solution. Arguably it should be made a user preference: those who prefer to be warned about the risk that they will double-submit a transaction or instruction on a poorly designed site can have their warning, and those who prefer to take their chances can take their chances. Not sure whether that is on anyone's "to do" list.
    Separate issue: I wasn't aware of any difference between 3.6.12 and 3.6.13, but both are riddled with security vulnerabilities so it's hard to recommend using either of them at this point.

    The way I moved from 10.3.9 to 10.5.8 was to use "ditto -rsrc" and copy the user homes and the data share to an external firewire drive. Then did the same in reverse.
    I found the key to data and share permissions to make sure that the users had the same UID in Leopard that they had in Panther.
    You can then use "sudo rm -rf" to remove any folder from the relocated homes that you want. Remember if you do choose to remove "~/Library" from each users relocated home, you will be removing any iCal calendars, login.keychains, browser bookmarks, custom screensavers and wallpapers, etc.
    Users don't really care if they can login and do any work. But there will be much wailing, gnashing of the teeth, and anxiety, if they lose their bookmarks and wallpaper.

  • Why can't I get any Actions to play?

    All the loaded actions worked yesterday....none will play today.  I can bring up yesterday's work and continue to work on the action run, however, when I closed that out and went to another project, I was unable to run any action loaded.  I deleted the actions and re-entered turning off the computer after each action loaded. Still would not work.  I finally uninstalled 11 and then re-installed it.  Still no luck.  I hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong!!  Are ACTIONS suppose to be a preset folder?  I don't have a preset Actions folder in my program files...not even after I re-installed.

  • Custom field data is lost or not available after any action

    I added a custom field on ERP_H component and I made this field available through getter methods. I brought this field in to header view and the field looks ok but after I enter the data in that field, the value enter doesn't get retained. I saw the setter method and the data is set correctly. After any action like enter or save, data is lost or the value is not available, any clue?
    below are the details:
    1) We have created an append structure to CRMST_ADMINH_ERPIL and activated the getter and setter methods, I tried with AET tool too(ofcourse the Zfield are not available withe field names we need).
    2) Data binding is happening in the context create note.
        model = owner->create_model(
            class_name     = 'ZL_ERP_H_HEADERDETAIL_CN03'
            model_id       = 'ERPAdminH' ).                     "#EC NOTEXT
        ERPAdminH ?= model.
        CLEAR model.
    bind Context Node to controller to my enhaced context.
        owner->do_context_node_binding(
        iv_controller_type = CL_BSP_WD_CONTROLLER=>CO_TYPE_COMPONENT
        iv_target_node_name = 'ERPADMINH'
        iv_node_2_bind = ERPADMINH  ).
    3) In get_p_xxx field is changed to check box
    4) In Get_I_XXX method rv_diabled is changed = 'FALSE'.
    5) In set property the value is set correctly.
        IF <nval> <> <oval>.
          current->set_property(
                          iv_attr_name = 'ZFREEF' "#EC NOTEXT
                          iv_value     = <nval> ).
          clear dref.
          dref = current->get_property( 'ZFREEF' ). "data is retreived correctly
        ENDIF.
    6) When I check the get_property right afer the set_property the attribute is empty.
    7) when I try to check the value in getter method, the value is empty.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Sumit,
    At first I tried to create the fields using AET tool. I was successfully able to add field in the model but when I did different issues came with it.
    1) I was still not able to hold my data in custom additional fields added through AET tool. So no big difference between AET addition and append structure.
    2) In ERP order system is going to call the ERP system through RFC in which the field name should be same as what you send from CRM. It doesn't have a option of mapping intermediately like BDOC structure or something . It calls the LORD API's and post the data. There are bunch of LORD function modules maintained in SAP.
    3) to call the function module I have to maintain the same field names in my ERPAdminH structure. So I have no choice but add append structure manually with SAP ECC field name.
    4) to your question regarding set property, the data is properly assigned to BOL object and very nex line t I tried to access it and it is there. So that confirmed that I was able to update the BOL structure.
    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  • How can I get rid of this constant popup "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action that was performed earlier"? Thanks

    I'm an avid eBay seller and shopper. Every time I move from one of my items back to my eBay main page I get this pop up "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action that was performed earlier." How do I disable the message? Running current version of Firefox for windows and Vista.

    Are you getting that anytime you visit a page? Or after you hit the 'refresh', 'back' or 'forward' button?
    This error is not usually an error telling you that anything is broken, it's warning you that you are re-doing something you have already done. The page that you are trying to re-access, or refresh was a page that was doing something. Maybe you told the page to search for something, or you were filling out a form, or perhaps doing something like adding something to a shopping cart. Firefox warns you in case it's something you really don't want to do again; for example, accidentally buying a second toaster, or re-sending a comment form.
    If you only were searching or navigating around a page, it's generally ok to press the 'Resend' button.
    This safety feature is not unique to firefox, I can't offhand think of a browser that doesn't have it (though the wording may vary).
    However, if you are getting it constantly, every page you visit, on every website, all the time, then it's a bug.

    Khaled,

    Try writing a personalization on the PO screen that adds the following condition to the where clause
    "and authorization_status !='APPROVED'
    However, I will be careful with a blanket restriction like this. There are situations when you need to modify an existing PO. So you should code some exceptions for this rule.
    Hope this helps,
