Newbie Question ... How do you Unlock Background Layer

How do you unlock the background layer? I put together an image then flattened it. Now it is showing as locked. I want to make changes to the various layers I used to make the image. The lock symbol in ghosted, as well as the Lock Grid image.
Can anyone offer any quick assistance?
Thanks.

You'll get better response on the Photoshop Elements forum for a Photoshop Elements question, of course.
But, meantime, try double-clicking on the Background layer on the Layersa palette.

Thank you. Perhaps I shouldn't have asked. I am using the trial version and feeling my way around. I have absolutely no embarrassment when learning. I will ask what others think are the dumbest questions. Thanks again.

How do I unlock the background layer on free trial photoshop?

go to layers window and select the layer you are trying to unlock, There should be a lock icon next to name of layer, you can drag lock icon to trash can at the bottom of the layer window and layer will be unlocked. There is also a lock icon just above all the layers and you can toggle the layer as locked or unlocked. multiple ways to do the same task. Male sure to the select the correct layer you are trying to unlock. background layer applies as well.

Newb question: How do you create a new wiki page?

I've found out how to make Belkin F6 series USB wireless dongles work in Arch. A wiki page would be of much help for people with these devices!
I've written it out in the forums already:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 10#p800110
But a more detailed page that works for similar devices would be of great benefit to some Archers.

haha sorry. I actually did search the wiki and the forums for "new page" but it didn't occur to me to try "create page" or "creating a page". That's late-night creativity at it's finest.

Newbie question: how do you reset the router; in plain English please

I need some help in plain English please. The router stopped working and maybe just needs a reset. I tried reading http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ios-nx-os-software/ios-software-releases-123-mainline/46509-factory-default.html, but I don't understand the first thing. It's a Linksys E2500. Is this even the right forum?

You are reading a Nexus IOS guide. Nexus is a carrier grade switch so don't mind that. Try this instead.

How do you unlock a pages document? nothing I see on the forums duplicates my situation.

how do you unlock a document in pages that doesn't say "locked" at the top of the page???

Thanks for answering me! You might not be reading my question correctly because I think I am confused. So now I have a couple questions. I have never used the the Document Inspector to lock a file so that is not the issue. It has not asked for a password either.
When you said a document will be locked after a period of time I have experienced that but usually it drops a box down asking if you want to unlock it. When you said, "as determined by my System Preferences" I dont' see anything in system preferences about documents.....what am I missing here?? I am using Lion 10.7.4. So I would like to know the answer to that. I am wondering if you meant it can be set to lock or not lock???
That said.....in the meantime I had done a duplicate and then made it a template just to see if I could accomplish what I was trying to do and that didn't work either. SOooooooo let me ask you this.....what I did was take a bunch of clip art off the internet and put it all on one document page in Pages. I named it "tropical clip art." When I open that document I can not drag and drop any of the clip art anywhere. Not to my desktop, not to another document etc. That is what made me think it was locked. The document name is at the top and it has "edit" greyed out next to the name. What the heck am I doing wrong? I am fairly new to Pages altho been an Apple user for awhile. I have always fuddled my way through using Pages. If I can not put the clip art on a document to save it all in one place, what is my other option? I was trying to avoid going back onto the internet repeatedly to get clip art I want to use over and over. It is free clip art. If I go to the internet I can drag and drop it anywhere.
When I try to drag and drop it off the Pages document it disappears and I have to go to "undo typing" under edit to get it back. Am I making any sense??
And this is my very first time on these forums too so that took me a bit to figure out.
Thanks so much!!!!!

You can't. Type in the wrong password until, it says "Connect to iTunes". Then connect it to iTunes. You will wait 1 minute, five minutes, 15 minutes, then 60 minutes, then you can connect it to iTunes.

You do not. You do this:

Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
