Layers are always Locked

Hello All:
I am using Photoshop CS2 and whenever I open a .jpg , .gif or use my scanner and scan something into PS the layer always starts out locked.
Is there a way to change this so it is not locked everytime?
Thanks,
Paul

No, there isn't.
Jpg is a flattened file format so the Background will always be locked by default. Double-click on the Layer thumbnail.
Gif is Indexed Mode and flattened as well. Change to RGB and double-click on the Layer thumbnail.

  • Layers are always open

    hello,
    I did a search on this forum without success
    I'm in illustrator CS2 Vista
    why when opening illustrator some layers are always open and not others?
    what to do to remain closed?

    Maybe for some it's not a problem really? It's not something that I've found annoying.
    I think (although I'm not sure) that layers that contain sub-layers open in order that the sub-layers can be seen. Layers that do not contain sub-layers remain closed. Therefore the only way to keep the layers closed when opening a file is....you've guessed it....don't make sub-layers.

  • Newly created files are always locked

    I have a small but annoying problem with Indesign. (Several, actually, but the one on my mind at the moment is...)
    Whenever I create a new document, it's always locked. I can't save changes to it, add it to a book, or do many other routine things with it. It doesn't matter what I do; I can close out of everything completely but when I re-open Indesign, the file is still locked.
    What I can do, which provides me with an easy workaround, is do a Save As..., delete the original document, and work with the one I created with the Save As. (Documents created by Save As don't seem to have this problem, only documents created by New => Document). After I do that, everything works as expected. For this reason, this problem isn't the end of the world, though it was pretty scary the first time it happened. But it's still an annoyance that strikes me as an obvious bug, and if anyone's got a diagnosis and a means of keeping it from happening in the first place, I'd love to hear it.

    Here's a post from a regular forum contributor that will explain:

  • 60GB iPod: all keys are always locked.

    Hi there,
    Just today I've received my new 60GB iPod and BOSE Sound Dock, with my with great anger and displeasure I have found that the all iPod keys are permanently locked and I'm not be able to unlock it using normal unlock commands.
    I've tried to successfully restart it more and more times, using the lock-unlock-holding down the "menu" and central key for 6 secs sequence, without results; I've restored the default parameters using "iPod Updater 2005-11-17" appl, without results. The Mac USB connection is OK and I have correctly uploaded a lot of music. All the music are OK and play very well if I insert iPod into the BOSE Dock an control it by IR remote control.
    I don't know what I can do more and so I need "... a little help from my frends..."
    Thanks

    I had the same problem with my 4th generation iPod.
    I fixed the problem by opening my iPod with a butter
    knife and found the clickweel's connecter had come
    loose inside. I simply slipped it back and
    snapped the case back together. (This will, of
    course, void the warranty.) I'm not sure if the 5th
    generation is as easy to open and I do not want to
    have to find out. Use your own digression. (I also
    happen to be good with electronics.)

  • CS5 adjustment layers are always clipped

    When I do a new adjustment layer in CS5 it is by default clipped to the layer below. Very annoying.
    I cannot find anyway of turning it off so the default it not to clip it as in previous versions.

    In the adjustments panel flyout menu, uncheck Clip to Layer.

  • I cannot rearrange layers in Muse even though they are not locked.

    I have seen tutorial videos where people can rearrange the stacking order of the layers in the layers panel. Yet when I try they just won't move. They are not locked, and I have tried the master page and a normal page. Has anyone got any ideas of why others seem to be able to but I cannot.
    Cheers

    Ian,

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select

    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • I had all photos on a Windows desktop.  Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive.  When I go to import them into LR on the Mac, they are all locked.  Help, please.  Thanks

    I had all photos on a Windows desktop.  Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive.  When I go to import them into LR on the mac, they are all locked.  Help, please!

    "I plugged the external into the Mac and moved a folder of images onto the desktop.  It looks like it went from read only to not locked.  Is this possible?"
    Yes, that's exactly what happened. If you buy another drive, you could copy from your existing drive to the new and your files will be read/write. The new drive will have to be formatted as an HFS drive (that's the Mac's format). If you need to format it, you use Disk Utility which is in the Utilities folder on your Mac. Be careful with that -- it wipes out whatever is currently on the drive. Make sure you format the right drive.
    I keep all my images on an external drive, too. In fact, I have two matching drives and sync them so I always have a backup.

  • Could not use the move tool because no layers are selected.

    This problem started a few days ago. I like to hold down the "Shift" key when moving a layer (either text or image) to keep the horizontal spacing locked. It was never a problem but a dialog box is now popping up with the following note: Could not use the move tool because no layers are selected.
    There's no problem if I'm not holding the "Shift" key but I can't keep the layer from moving up or down. I could just use the arrow key but sometimes I need to move the layer quite a distance.
    Also, I'm noticing that if I don't have the cursor directly on the type/image layer, regardless of whether the "Shift" key is selected, a rectangle similar to when the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" is used appears and the layer I had selected is no longer selected.
    Any ideas as to why this might be happening? Thanks for the help.

    Sorry about that. I'm using Photoshop CS4. There are no layer masks and I'm working over a solid white background (although it's happening in all my files, some of which have multiple layers).
    I'm mainly designing DVD sleeves, posters, invites, etc. The layers contain images, live text, vector smart objects, etc. and the problem is happening with all layers, regardless of what it is (text or image).
    When I have the mouse directly over whatever it is I want to move and hold the shift key I get the "Could not use..." dialog box. When the mouse is NOT over the image/text, but I have the correct layer selected, I get the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" look, a "dashed" rectangular box wherever I've moved the mouse.
    Hope the info is helpful and thanks for responding...

    Hello Mogulman46,
    So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off. 
    Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • Front End Runtimes in BI workload are always 0

    Hi,
               We have activated the technical content for BI Admin cockpit in Production. The delta process chains are
    running fine daily. The issue is we do not see the front end runtimes in BI workload via ST03N. Only for a very
    few queries we have RSDDSTAT settings activated at level 2. BI workload displays only OLAP and DM times
    for those queries. But the frontend times are always 0. We are extracting all the step categories. I can see
    the front end runtimes for all those queries in 0TCT_C01, but they are not shown in BI workload. Hence even
    the  Total Time of the query in BI workload is always smaller as it does not include the front end runtimes.
                Any idea why the data for front end runtimes is missing from BI workload ?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    depending on your data flow you have to use the routines .
    Start routines - start routines:
    It is used to perform preliminary calculations.if you have any modifications required before the actual transformation is done, then you must write those routines in the start routine of 7.0.
    End routines - new:
    You can use an end routine to postprocess data after transformation on a package-by-package basis.
    Expert routine - update routine :
    You can use the expert routine if there are not sufficient functions to perform a transformation. The expert routine should be used as an interim solution until the necessary functions are available in the standard routine. You can use this to program the transformation yourself without using the available rule types. If you have already created transformation rules, the system deletes them once you have created an expert routine.

  • How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

    How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
    Windows Computer

    1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
    setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
    just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
    A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
    '''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
    2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
    it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
    It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''
    Ask questions, or go somewhere else.

  • All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc.  are all locked up.  They simply flash, then nothing!  How can I fix this to make them work again.

    First Issue:   All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc.  are all locked up.  They simply flash, then nothing!  How can I fix this to make them work again?  If I have to delete the purchased apps, will they still be in iTunes, or will I have to re-purchase them? 
    Second Issue:   When I synced to my desktop (Windows XP)  All my photos loaded onto my iPad2.  I don't really want all 3000 + pics on my ipad!!  How do I get them off?  Next time I synced, they loaded again!  Now I have so many duplicates!  How do I get rid of the photos and prevent this from happening again?

    If none of your third-party apps are working, but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted. In terms of re-downloading apps then you can do so as long as they are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For synced photos, then with the iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, then on the Photos tab on the right-hand side you can control which photos are synced to the iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . If you don't want any photos to be synced then try selecting just an empty folder.

  • HELP! iPod playlists are always getting f...d up! HELP!

    This is a strange problem, infinite thanks to the person who can help me!
    Once I updated my iTunes 5 to iTunes 6, on a different computer I have; shortly after that, the problem started:
    I can arrange the main-folder AND/OR playlists on my iPod nano HOW I want, every time I disconnect and reconnect the iPod to my computer it's back to a totally confused state. WHY???
    The width AND the chosen columns are always changed again, no matter what I do. I even resetted the iPod several times plus I put it back to its "original state" on iTunes 7 that I now have on my PC. Still the same problem. I think it has something to do with the iPod, not iTunes.
    PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE as this is a really annoying problem.

    Additional information:
    In the beginning, with iTunes 6, the problem "only occured" when I created playlists on my iPod. When I had no playlists at all on it, nothing happened. But even when I only put one song in my "On The Go"-playlist, the problem would appear as soon as I connected the iPod to the computer.
    NOW with iTunes 7 ans much more options available for the connected iPod, the problem also occures when NO playlists are created on the iPod. :'-(
    Funnily, now only the main folder seems to be cursed with this problem. The playlists I created on the iPod with iTunes stay how I wanted them. WEIRD!!! HELP ME PLEASE!!!
