Layers wont highlight when selected

Hello
Can anyone help me. I am suddenly finding that when I select an object, the layer it is on will not turn blue, and seems not to activate. - the layer turns grey, but not blue.
I find that if I double click on the layer to select the blending options window, then the layer turns blue. I might be doing something wrongf, but I dont know what it is.
Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this problem?
Thanks.

Hello
This first screen shot shows the drawing with one layer (the reins of the horse) closed.
This next screenshot shows I have clicked on the eye/visibility button on the reins layer to show that layer, but you can see that the layer is grey, when it would normally be blue. When it is grey, I cant do anythng with that layer, except see it.
The next screenshot shows that I have double clicked on the grey colored reins layer, to open the layer styles/blend mode panel, which you can see in front of the art work. You can see that the reins layer has now turned blue, to show it is active.
This next screenshot (the one just above here) shows that I have moved the reins layer, to show that the blue reins layer is now active, and that I can transform the artwork on that layer. - But it only became active after I double clicked to open the blend mode panel.
The next screenshot shows the reins layer has been moved back to it's position, and I have clicked the visibility button the the layer containing the horse head, to make it invisible. You can see that the layer has turned grey, not blue, and I will now have to go through the process described above, to turn the layer blue and continue to work on the drawing.
I have no idea why it has started to do this.

Slices in Save for Web not highlighting when selected in Photoshop CS5.5

Lately I've just noticed when I select slices in Save for Web the newly selected areas do not highlight in their normal yellow colour. They are however selected and save correctly if I do save them. If I toggle slice visibility off and back on again they selected slices become highlighted but it's kind of a pain. Have I done something to cause this or is this a known issue with one of the updates?

HT204406 i bought 2 songs on my iphone 5 and they wont play when selected it goes to different songs. How do i get them to play again?

I cant get the 2 songs to play after i backed up and set up Icloud. The songs show up on the artist and song selections but not in the purchased playlists. When i select the songs either throws me to another song/artist or it takes me right back to the artist art work.

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Delete the songs and redownload:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If your iPod is still in warranty you may get it fixed by going to:

and filling in the form there to get it sent off.

All layers turning off when selecting layers.

I'm sure this is discussed elsewhere, but I can't find anything…
I keep having this thing happen where when I go to turn on a layer (layers pallet, the little eyeball icon), all the other layers turn off. Then I have to go back and turn on just the ones I meant to be on. Causes me problems in large multi layer documents… risks embarrassing errors.
I'm sure this is a feature, but I can't figure out what causes it to happen, and how to stop it from happening. Or for that matter going back to the previous state. Feels to me like a "mis-click" or stutter from using a Wacom.
Any ideas?

Like R_Kelly said, it is the normal behavior if you hold the option key.
If the option key is not stuck, it reminds me of an old bug, that has been cured by an update.
Check that you are running Ps 12.0.4 or 12.1, or run the updater: http://adobe.ly/PS-Up-To-Date
If you are running the lastest version, you might want to re-create your preferences, per : http://adobe.ly/PS_Prefs

I have just upgraded to the new version of itunes on windows7 and now albums added post udgrade wont play when added to ipod.

Hi
I have just upgraded to the new version of itunes on windows 7. I have just added 8 albums (Mp3 format) to my itunes library, synced with my Ipod classic and my wifes ipod nano, the albums have transferred to the devices but wont play when selected. Yet they will play in itunes.
When I select the album on the ipod, it opens up as normal but when you press play nothing happens other than a wining sound from the hard drive of the ipod.
My itunes library is a mix of itune purchases and mp3 purchases and this is the first time I have experienced this issue
Hopefully there is a simple explanation to this

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

I have photoshop cc, and I am used to photoshop elements. In photoshop it wont allow me to just click on a layer, and have it select that layer . I have to click on the layer in the box that shows all my layers in order to select it. I also want it to not only select the layer on the actual project, but put a hashed line around it that allows me to resize it manually, without having to do it in another window. Does that make sense? I cant even get the layer to select. PLEAE HELP. Id also be able to just click on the layer and drag it. It wont let me, and I am confused.

If you were serious to learn Photoshop, I'd advise you to take Photoshop classes at your nearest community college or some such institution, to take a subscription to lynda.com, to watch all the Photoshop videos at Adobe TV, to google for specific video tutorials on You Tube and for other tutorials in text format.
Even the Help menu in Photoshop can be a great starting place.
Don't expect to find in Photoshop the kind of hand-holding features that Elements has and that appeal to beginners and amateurs.

Flash menu that highlights the selected item when changing page?

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a menu in flash that will highlight the
current
selected menu item when selecting a specific page.
Example menu:
- home
- products
- product 1
- product 2
- product 3
- contacts
- email
- form
Imagine you have a link in a page that opens the contact >
email page.
Is there a way to get the flash menu to highlight the
"contacts > email"
item when displaying this page?
Something similar to this

Is there an application that can do this easily?
Thanks in advance for any idea.

How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
Let us know if this method does not work.

LR5 version 5.3 abends when selecting media type in the print module; on Mac OSX 10.9.1. Why?

LR5 version 5.3 abends when selecting media type in the print module; on Mac OSX 10.9.1. Why? The printer is an Epson 4900.

I contacted Epson and the following steps resolved the problem.
Please close all of your programs to Repair Permissions:
1. Go to your Mac Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities and open the Disk Utility.
2. Click on and highlight your main Mac Hard Drive in the list on the left.
3. Select Repair Disk Permissions and once this is finished, restart your computer.
Once restarted, please do the following:
1. Open your System Preferences
2. Open Print & Fax (10.7/10.8/10.9 is Print & Scan)
3. Highlight your Epson printer in the Printer List on the left hand side of the window if it is showing in the list. If it is not showing up, continue to step 5
4. Click on the MINUS sign below the Printer List and confirm deletion of the printer
5. Click on the PLUS below the Printer List to re-add the printer
6. Click on and Highlight the Epson Printer in the window and confirm that in the USE field it reads for "EPSON XXXXXX"
7. If it does, click ADD and the printer should show up again in the Printer List and you can try to print again
If you are still having issue, try printing from Apples Preview and see if it print fine. If so, the issue would be PS and/or LR and you would need to troubleshoot the program installation.
We take your satisfaction seriously and hope that we have helped resolve your issue. If you receive a survey from us, we would greatly appreciate if you could take a few minutes to provide us with feedback about your support experience. Your ratings and comments are extremely important to us.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Af:tree - how do I highlight the selected tree node?

af:tree
I checked the generated CSS file. I found that when a tree node is selected, the related CSS attribute is:
.xj:link{
font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,sans-serif;
font-size:10pt;
font-weight:normal;
color:#663300
I created a customized CSS attribute, but then all of the links have the customized CSS attributes.
How do I just highlight the selected tree node link?
Thanks,
--Todd

try doing the onclick javascript method
you have to place it on the node element and id must be made dynamic
for this use 'this.id'
by which the current id of the node is passed
and by capturing the id name in a var
use the same for invoking its selected property and make it true
like this
var currentid = this.id;
this.form.currentid.selected = true;

Clicking on TOC Item Jumps to Previous Identical Entry. How to highlight the selected one?

Win 7, 64 bit
RH 9 (latest patch)
HtmlHelp (CHM) output
I have many TOC pages that are identical.
For example, in our software some toolbar icons are repeated on different screens. In the built CHM help, if I click on a later identical page reference in our TOC, the TOC automatically jumps focus to the first entry. It doesn't stay on the selected entry.
This causes confusion as all of a sudden the user is in an entirely different context. How can I get it to highlight the selected item and not jump to the first reference?

Hi Jared
Note that this issue is generically related to any help system and isn't a "RoboHelp specific thing". When multiple points in a Table of Contents reference the same page, how is the system supposed to determine exactly which TOC node is the correct one?
The way past this is to create multiple distinct nodes from the TOC to the topic.
One way involves never creating an actual link from the TOC to the topic. Instead, create as many distinct topics as you need in the TOC and have them redirect to the desired topic. The bottom line is that the correct page is presented and the correct TOC node is highlighted.
Another way involves a similar approach. Create distinct topics that simply present an inline frame (IFRAME) that has the single "real" topic.
Yet another way involves another variation. Create a Snippet that is essentially the single entire topic. Then create distinct topics that only contain the snippet.
Hope this helps... Rick
