With my layer mask when I paint with black it reveals but when I paint in white it won't conceal.

You all not understanding I was able to switch between to either hide or reveal then I was only able to reveal my brush size is the same and my flow is the same but it not working when switch to white.
It could be your not understanding what we write either. Many here are experts on using Photoshop and masking. It clear Masking is not working for you the way you want  the way you state it use to work.  Therefore something has changed in your setup.   You stated that black use to reveal and and white hide.    In reality black does both hides and reveal. It hides areas in the layer the layer mask is on which reveals what is in lower visible layers.   You state white reveals  again it does both it reveals and it hides.  If the current layer mask was hiding area in the layer its on which reveals what is in lower visible layers when you paint with white it will hide what is in lower layer by revealing what is in the layer it on. Layer masks are like a stencil Black cuts out what is in the layer white leave what is in the layer there. Also visible layers above a masked layer can hide all layer below and any effect a lower layer mask may cause.
As Noel wrote some screen grabs showing your image window, layers palette showing layers and target layer mask, tool  pallet and tools option bar for your brush tool active and the areas your painting Black and White  and will enable some here to help point the way and shade light on your problem.

  • Just downloaded an album, will let me play some songs, but others are asking for me to authorize my computer. When I enter Use ID and password, comes back and says computer is already authorized. Why will it let me play some songs and not others?

    Has anyone downloaded an album from iTunes Store, once downloaded, will let you play some songs, but others is asking you to authorize your computer. When I go through those steps, it tells me that the computer is already authorized, but still will not let me play certain songs??

    If just some of the tracks on the album are giving you that message, that suggests that those tracks are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • My iPad will not let me download an iTunes movie due to lack of space but I purchased more space and it still won't work

    My iPad will not let me download an iTunes movie due to lack of space but I purchased more space and it still won't work

    As stated above - purchasing more space in iCloud has nothing to do with this. You do not have enough space left on the iPad for the movie to download, you need to delete content on the device itself.
    You may want to transfer purchases to iTunes and then delete some content on the device to make room.
    Transfer purchases.

    This article explains how to delete content from the device

    Do not delete any important content without backing up, transferring purchases or transferring files to your computer.

  • Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
    I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

  • Hi, my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatedly. if I'm using my phone or in an app it will just go black then light up to the home screen and it does this over and over. Then the power off option will pop up. what should i do

    Hi my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatdly. I will beonmy phone or in an app and it will go to a black screen and then light up to the home screen. Then the power off option will pop up. I have tried letting it die and recharging it and powering it off neither worked. Does any one have an idea on what this could be or what I can do?

    If the Slide to Power Off option is coming up, that suggests your power button isn't working correctly and is sticking.
    Best thing to do is bring the phone to an Apple store (make an appointment first) and have a Genius take a look at it.

  • My sons IPOD Touch camera will be a black screen sometimes, but ot always. Why?

    My sons IPOD Tounch camera will come up with a black screen sometimes. Just wondering why it is doing this?

    - Have you tried just restoreing the iPod to factorydefaults/new iPOd?

    - The problem may be due to the previous liquid intrusion.  Sometimes it can take awhile for some damage to occur.

  • HT204266 My app store will let me download new apps but when I go to the 'update' section it says it cannot connect to the iTunes store. Does anybody know why?

    My apps will no longer update as the page will not load, I really don't understand why this is as the rest of the app store works perfectly.

    Are you putting in the address where the bank sends the monthly statement?
    Apple's servers are very picky about the format of the address. If you live in the USA, then the server is expecting the style that the US Postal Service uses. One way to do this is to use the USPS ZIP Code lookup service;

    Enter the address to look up the ZIP code and then copy the exact USPS output into your iTunes account information.

  • Imac won't let me install Final cut studio 2..it will let me install the upgrade, but it has no live type and i need it to work on my current projects. How do I get Live type back installed in iMac

    I just purchased an iMac for home and went to install final cut studio 2 and it gave me an error saying something about "PowerPC" not used or something like that. Installed the studio upgrade just fine...but it has no "Live Type" which I need to work on projects I have been using in my Mac Pro at my work place. How do I get "Live Type" to install in this iMac? Downloaded Live Type upgrade but that won't update cause there's no "Live Type" in the applications.

    It sounds like you have Lion installed on your new imac, although your profile says SL 10.6.8 (you may want to change this.)
    If you have the Snow Leopard install disc I believe you can install "Rosetta" from the extras folder which will then, if you have the original FCS2 discs , allow you to select and install Live Type and LIve Type content only from the custom install options.
    I hope this will work for you.

  • Firefox will let me surf the web but certain sites such as facebook and eBay take too long to respond and i can not login, how can i fix this?

    The connection has timed out.
    The server at signin.ebay.com is taking too long to respond.
    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    I can still look up support on the internet but anything that would require a log on to work will not load and FF will give me this error message. This has happened for a few weeks now on and off. Now it has been 3 days of no log ons whatsoever. PLEASE HELP ME I have homework and eBay auctions ending!
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://ebay.com, http://facebook.com, http://comcast.net

    This has been going on for months for me. Time to drop Firefox & go back to IE.

  • I recently changed my Apple ID online, but I can't find a way to change it on my iPod touch. It will let me change the password, but not the ID. What do I do? Do I need to delete the account and start over?

    I recently changed my Apple ID online, but I can't find a way to change it on my iPod touch. When I try to purchse an app, the iTouch keeps showing my old ID. However, when I purchase an app online with the new ID, it downloads to my iPod. What do I do to change the ID on the iPod itself?

  • Keynote Presentations will not open after update. I click on them and they just won't open!

    I created a huge presentations but NOTHING WILL OPEN. Same for Pages and Numbers. Running on iPad Mini 1st Gen - 7.0.4

    The very first thing you should try is a simple reset. Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
    If you haven't restarted your iPad in a while this can really help.
    If this doesn't help, then you can try removing the problem apps and reinstalling them.
    Retired Engineer makes a good point.  It would be a good idea to update your software.
