My transform tool is not working.

Hey everyone this is my first post here. I am not having any luck using my transform tool. When you double click text you should be able to move it around but in my case I can’t. I can still move the whole layer around but I want to be about to move the text around within that layer. This is also becoming an issue because all my masking work isn’t possible any more as I can not select the handles to manipulate my mask.
Here is just some more information for you guys. I am not seeing my mouse pointer change as I scan over the blue dots as it once did in early versions. I am using 10.1.1
Thanks for any help. I really need it.

You don't use the transform tool to move text. Double clickk the title in the timeline or double click the text. This should highlight the text and allow you to drag it around. Not sure what blue dots you are refering to.

CS3 Free Transform Tool does not work at all for distortion

I tried everything, worked with vector objects of different configurations and rasterized objects. Nothing works. When I press Free Transform Tool and go to bounding box corner it become rotate or resize tool. When I click a little bit inside the bounding box and hold Command Key (I tried many keys and without keys) it just moves the whole object, it did not select just one point that I need. Envelope Mesh does not work for the same reason, but I do not need mesh tool. I have Illustrator 13.02, Mac OS 10.4.11
The Free Transform Tool functions exactly as the main selection tool. Please help.

I STILL cannot get this to work. I have tried everything suggested in this thread. I have followed the directions in the help menus explicitly. I have tried grouping, ungrouping. I have tried it on type, on type changed to outlines, on simple rectangles. Without success.
When I try to use the free transform tool and hover over a corner of the bounding box, I get either a double-headed corner arrow, a rotation arrow, or a move arrow. Using the first two, dragging the point and then holding down the control/command key results only in a scaling of the object.
Should I restart? Should I re-install? What should I do?
Best,
Fielden

Free transform tool is not working

Hi, I'm getting this error every time I try to use the free transform tool, the window doesn't show all the options, the white space where you manipulate the vector has a very low quality image and won't let me move anything. I've tried with diferent objects, files, color profiles and I keep getting the same error, I'm using a 15" Macbook Pro retina display and Illustrator CC.
Any idea of how to fix it?

Sorry, you are right, it is the Free Distort window, here's a comparrison of how it looks like in CS6 and what I'm getting in CC.
Thank you.

My move tool is not working

I am using photoshop elements 12 my move tool is not working properly. To move an object I have to click on free transform so I can move it. I am using a mac & have upgraded to Yosemite operating system

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!

Text keeps disappearing when I select it to make type at all / make changes / edit. Type tool is not working. I am running CS6 on a Macbook Pro Retina (which I am hating!) 10.9.4 - wish I'd never upgraded.

For Acrobat 9. TouchUp Text tool does not work.

Acrobat 9. TouchUp text tool does not work --- even on documents created with my computer using installed fonts. Problem 2: when trying to export to Word 2010 there is no option for format .dox, only .doc which belonged to earlier versions of Word.

Hi Begin,
I have the same issue, I am not sure which version so I had on my old computer but when I got a new windows 7 64bit, and asked IT to install Adobe, my life turned upside down. now they asked if I need X or 9pro and I though 9pro is the latest and greatest.. they installed the standard first then could not edit then asked for the pro and could not edit ... now I search and maybe version X will edit but if the document is signed and we do need to do lots of editing after the signature then what is the solution??
I hope the Guru in Adobe can help here soon please :-)!!

When i paint either black or white on layer mask it erases picture pixels also path selection tool does not work

when I paint either in black or white on layer mask it erases picture pixels also path tool does not work

I would try resetting your preference file first: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14226-Resetting-(or-Trashing-)-the-Lightroom -Preferences-file
Also, install the latest version 4.4.1 would probably be a good idea.

I have a comment. I am very upset with Photoshop and all your tutorials regarding the quick select tool. I have watched many tutorials and read instructions until I am blue in the face. This tool does not work. It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple. How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?

It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.
This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

Concluding something does not work because you fail at using it is not necessarily always justified.
The Quick Selection Tool certainly has limitations, but your post seems to be more about venting than trouble-shooting – otherwise you might have posted an image where you failed to get an expected result.

People anyone know because the logo in title tool is not working?

Maybe on the wrong layer.
It would be more beneficial if you capture your screen with the layers panel open and any layers that are collapsed, expand them.

Seletiion tool is not working

The selection tool is not working having proplems xxx@

Then it would seem that this moderator doesn’t know his arse from his elbow.
There may be various reasons for a selection tool not working. I suggested two possible causes and two possible ways out.
But no-one knows what is wrong yet and I object to having a line of enquiry cut short by being marked as answered when it’s not.I prefer to get to the bottom of things.
So, Mister Moderator, if you see this, will you kindly refrain from making assumptions and mark this question as Unanswered!

nurcan,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press CtrlAltShift/CmdOptionShift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
