Pen, convert vertex tool, they don't seem to work in CC2014, as they did in CC. Help

I'm trying to do something I've been doing for a long time. Change the shape of of square solid. Not sure what to do?

Nothing really changed. Are you sure that you didn't select roto bezier when the path was created? The other thing that could be going on is that you have created a shape layer with the rectangle tool and you have a rectangle instead of a path. Without further explanation it's going to be hard to figure out what is going wrong.
Press G to bring up the pen tool. Hold down the Alt/Option key to change the pen tool to the convert vertex tool (little sideways V). Press the G key again to bring up the Feather tool if you are working on a mask. Press the V key to bring up the direct selection tool to select vertices or shape paths. Hold down the Command/Ctrl key with a shape path selected to duplicate it (a black and a white arrow head appears) to duplicate the path when you click and drag. With any vertex selected click and drag on the layer to select multiple vertices....

  • How do I get all my fonts to work. I upgraded the OS and the old fonts don't seem to work.

    How do I get all my fonts to work. I upgraded the OS and the old fonts don't seem to work.

    If the fonts are installed on the OS they should be there already. If they were only available to CS5 they are probably in the fonts folder in the Adobe section of the Common files (location will be OS dependent), or they may be in ID's own fonts folder.

  • I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files (not i-tunes purchases) which I just can't get into my i-tunes library. File converters don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

    I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files which I can't get into i-tunes. When the library was in Windows, i-tunes would convert the files automatically, but this doesn't happen now. I've downloaded a couple of file converters, but these don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

    iTunes for Windows (but not iTunes for Mac) can import and convert unprotected WMA tracks. If the tracks are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) then it will not accept them.
    One option would be to install iTunes on your PC, do the conversion, and then transfer the converted tracks from iTunes on your PC to iTunes on your Mac.

  • Updates to Photoshop CC don't seem to work.

    I've installed Photoshop CC, Lightroom CC and Bridge CC, and they seem to work properly.
    Several times a day, the update dialogue appears, announcing that updates are available (bug fixes). Several times I've clicked the blue Update buttons, and they appear to show the updates being installed (the bar progresses to 100% and the green check mark appears.) But then the next day the same dialogue appears, announcing updates available.
    I can't tell whether the updates failed to install, despite the indicators showing they did. Or if the updates did install, maybe the update manager can't figure that out.
    Thanks greatly for any help you can give me.

    My current Bridge CC version is 6.0.1.6
    Current Extension Manager CC version is 7.1.1.32
    Current Photoshop CC version is 14.1.2 x 64
    Current Camera Raw CC version is 8.3.0.141
    I updated all the above again today. The version numbers were identical, ie unchanged, before and after the "update."
    I see that others seem to be experiencing the same problem.

  • The Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down keyboard short cuts don't seem to work anymore. Can we get this back?

    Until the latest update (I'm guessing v 34.x), the search bar's icon would show you the currently selected default search engine. I understand that Google is no longer paying to be the default... That I was expecting and isn't my issue....
    I used to be able to use Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down to change the default search engine (maybe default isn't the right term... but it changed what was used when I hit <Enter> or <Alt+Enter>). Now, there's no support for this as far as I can tell.
    This shortcut page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly) still references it, but it doesn't seem to work.
    As a sort of side note: Where typically, middle clicking on anything opens stuff up in a new tab, that behavior does not seem to carry over when clicking one of the non-default options in the search context menu. I've always appreciated that Firefox was very consistent about respecting the middle click as "do this in a new tab" what seems EVERYWHERE.

    If you start typing a search term then a drop-down list opens.
    You can use the Tab key to select other search engines that show on the bottom bar.
    If you want to restore the previously used standalone window to manage search engines then you can toggle this pref to false with a middle-click on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    *<b>about:config</b> page: <b>browser.search.showOneOffButtons</b> = false
    You need to close and restart Firefox to make this work properly.

  • I just downloaded a TV series on iTunes. They don't seem to work unless I have wi-fi. Are they streaming?

    I want to watch them on a plane trip. I paid for this series so that I could travel with it. What's going on!?!?
    Thanks!!!

    I guess I don't know. They do have an exclamation point next to them, which usually means something's not right.

  • M4P files don't seem to work in Imovie HD

    I am having trouble using M4P songs I purchased on Itunes in Imovie. They cause the Ken Burns effect to be shaky. I do not have the same problem when I use music I imported from CD's. Has anyone else had this issue?

    I guess I was sleepy... it's [11.0.10] not 10.0.10
    At any rate, the key path I used mentioned @ http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/QuickKeys/EnhancedSecurityQuickKeyAll.pd f (for reader 11.x) is
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown]; I noticed they also show up in the equivalent key under Wow6432Node.
    I even restarted these PC's after ensuring the registry values were all there - but it was the same situation after reboot.
    I don't know how it would matter, but some additional details that may help:
    All the values all being applied from the SYSTEM user, as I'm deploying these as a Compliance Baseline from Configuration Manager.
    it might be possible that all affected installations were installed with an .mst

  • On certain websites, controls don't seem to work. When I click "next" nothing happens.

    On at least two different sites so far..when I encounter a control such as "Next" nothing happens when I click on that control. On one site, Newsday.com, which is a newspaper, they display some top stories and below the frame there are arrows, ">" and "<" to see the next story or previous. These do not work at all.
    I noticed that the default setting for my extensions and add-ons has come Java programs disabled. Could this be the problem?

    Although the names are similar, the Java add-ons are not used by Firefox to interpret and run JavaScript. Firefox handles JavaScript directly; you do not need Java for that. You just need to make sure JavaScript is enabled here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    It's possible that one of your other add-ons could be interfering, although I don't know why it would. To test that theory, you can disable all your nonessential, unrecognized, or unwanted add-ons on the following pages:

  • CS4 Brushes don't seem to work with Wacom Mouse

    Ok, so since I've upgraded to CS4 about 3 months ago my Wacom Mouse (Intuos 3) doesn't seem to do anything with any brush tool. My attempts at brushing or stamping show in the history, but nothing changes to my document. I'm hoping this is a simple check box I'm missing or something of that nature.
    Before someone asks...
    -I am in normal masking mode.
    -I am brushing/clone stamping on the layer I want to be on with 'Current Layer' selected.
    -I am in the RGB Channel.
    -My opacity and flow are set to 100%.
    -Brush tools work just fine with the Pen.
    -I've actually replaced my mouse for a new one, same issue.
    Any help would certainly be appreciated. Thanks much!

    Check out the brush engine; specifically the shape dynamics with pen pressure selected. If the minimum diameter setting is a 0% then although the pen works with this, the mouse doesn't.
    Anthony.

  • Color profiles don't seem to work since 2.1 update

    I have a Powerbook G4 1.67 (last of the motorola chips) running 10.4.11.
    I have used aperture for a year and love it... When I upgraded to aperture 2.1 and security update at the end of March my print profiles for my Canon IP5200 seemed to stop working and my once wonderful prints where no longer true to my on screen image. I have not been able to verify if it is aperture's problem or something I am doing wrong. I have not seen any recent printing/color managements issues in this discussion group and wonder if anyone else is having the same problem.
    I wonder if upgrading to Mac OS 10.5 would fix the problem. Thanks for any help.

    Okay Rich, I hope I can help.
    The main difference with the Pro9000 and the other Canon printers I use (iP8500, 6700d) is that to get the best prints I turn off "Black Point Compensation" when printing from Aperture. With it on, the colors are slightly washed out, but with it off they're spot on.
    So, say I'm printing a 4 x 6 on Canon's Photo Paper Plus Glossy paper, my settings would be as follows:
    _Aperture Print Dialogue Box_
    Printer: Canon Pro9000 (I have the latest driver installed which was posted 4/10/2008 & the 10.1 CUPS driver)
    Paper Size: 4 x 6 Borderless
    Orientation: I don't use "Best Fit", I specify landscape or portrait
    ColorSync Profile: with this paper I use "Canon Pro9000 SP1"
    Black Point Compensation: Off (again, this is turned on in Photoshop & when I print to my other Canon printers. The Pro9000 handles the blacks without issue, so turn it off.)
    Gamma: 1.00 (same on iP8500, 1.05 with 6700d)
    _Print Settings_
    Quality & Media: Photo Paper Plus Glossy, Detailed Setting, Slider all the way to the right (Fine)
    Color Options: Brightness is the only option available, I leave it as "Normal"
    Borderless Printing: Amount of Extension all the way to the left at "Min"
    With those settings, and a good calibration on my main display, I'm getting great, accurate prints. I just went through the process today of profiling my system using an Eye-One Display 2, and things are looking even better than before. If you head over to http://www.gballard.net/nca.html you can get a great test image near the bottom of the page to calibrate with (a good site on color mangement, although I get better results with the ColorSync workflow in Photoshop).
    I hope that helps with your Pro9000 issues Rich, best of luck!

  • Placeholders on Master Slides in Captivate 5 don't seem to work

    Hi I'm very new to Captivate and I am exploring the trial version (5) to learn what it can do.
    I am trying to create a project template with a master slide. I have added text caption placeholders to the master slide and saved the file as a project template.
    When I create a 'new project from template' using this file I have created a slide based upon the master with placeholders but I am unable to edit the placeholders from the film strip view (they are not clickable, and stay locked). Am I doing something wrong?
    There appeared to be a thread about an issue with Master slides but I don't know if this has been resolved.
    I'm hoping it's an error on my part (which someone can hopefully correct me on) rather than a bug in Captivate as this would seem to be a pretty fundamental feature when creating courseware.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    To really know the power of master slides and templates I should explain a lot more, but in my previous answer I just tried to explain why your approach was not the right one. In a template you can have much more than just a couple of slides with placeholders, you can have typical object styles, advanced actions, user variables etc. It would really need more than a short answer in this thread to explain all that. And that is different from just a blank slide, because placeholders (keeping all introduced styles) will not exist in a blank project, where you would have to insert text to have the proper layout etc.
    Master slides can have variables inserted in a Text Caption, or even have a rollover caption that can have variables in it. I tried to explain the use of variables in this article, and there are examples to be used on a master slide:
    Using power of variables without advanced actions
    In my blog I'm always using master slides, you'll find links pointing to other articles

    If you work with stencil slides, indeed the user will have to duplicate stencil slides to use them. Captivate is not Powerpoint, which is meant for presentations on the first place, while Captivate is meant for developing software training, soft skills trainings, assessments and perhaps presentations.
    I'm sorry, just wanted to help you.

  • Time Machine and Time Capsule don't seem to work well together?

    Reposted.
    I get the feeling there are some serious problems with the combination of Time Machine and Time Capsule.
    This is extremely disappointing, as the idea of a centralized backup device on the network (instead of disks attached to each and every computer we have running Leopard) seemed like such a good idea and a good way to supplement our tape-based backup that takes place with Retrospect.
    In reality, it's a disaster on both Intel and PowerPC systems. All systems and the Time Capsule are fully up to date with software updates from Apple. I have two 1TB Time Capsule units. It goes something like this:
    1. I have a few systems (mainly Intel) that work perfectly with the Time Capsule. There are no complaints and no issues at all. These systems just quietly run their backups as they should. They are the definite minority--maybe one or two have worked properly.
    2. I have some systems that complain from time to time (mainly PowerPC) but will back up with a little encouragement. These too are the minority.
    3. And finally, I have systems that are nothing but pain. These are both Intel and PowerPC systems. They are also the majority of the systems I have. The most common problem is sudden loss of the credentials needed to access the Time Capsule hardware--a user will be going along about their business when the Mac OS asks for the Time Capsule user name and password--after it's already been supplied and backups have been running. This should simply never ever happen.
    Another charming behavior I've seen is corruption of the sparse disk image file that each computer creates on the Time Capsule. Time Machine will complain that it can't perform the backup, and examining the disk image file with Disk Utility shows it to be severely damaged. Turning off Time Machine, deleting the corrupted sparse image file, and starting over fixes it. For a while.
    Finally, there are the machines (again, both Intel and PowerPC) that just can't seem to actually get through the first backup run. They either go so far and can't continue, or never actually manage to get started. I've checked the disks in these computers and found no problem with the hardware or file system. The installations are fresh and fully up to date.
    Meanwhile, I have computers running Leopard with directly attached disks configured for use with Time Machine. One is a QuickSilver that isn't even officially supported by Leopard, with a Firewire attached disk. It doesn't skip a beat. The other is an Intel Mac mini being used with Mac OS X Server 10.5.4 and a USB external hard drive. These machines just do their thing, and I never have to babysit them.
    These problems with the Time Capsule have been so severe that I've just given up on most of the computers and shut off Time Machine entirely. We have tape backups that run over the week, so it's not a huge loss. But that's not what really made me throw up my hands and say "enough"...no, that was the speed. Even with just one computer backing up to it, the Time Capsule seemed terribly slow. Watching the progress indicator was just painful.
    I put in a word about all of this to my independent Apple dealer, and they say I'm definitely not the first to complain about some or all of these problems. In fact, they told me they were going to set up a test lab in their shop to see if they could duplicate these findings. I have no doubt that they can.
    There are a total of seven computers backing up to one Time Capsule. They all store maybe ~40GB worth of data including the OS. There are about six computers on the other. Because of the way the network is laid out, the Time Capsule is connected to a Gigabit switch (and that is the only thing it's connected to). It cannot be used as the router, although I know Apple suggests this. The Airport section is disabled--I have no need or desire to use it. Some computers link up at 100 megabits, others at 1 gigabit. There are no network problems--we have no problems moving large amounts of data across the same network to our tape backup machine.
    Is anyone else seeing these kinds of problems? Am I doing something wrong or expecting too much from Time Capsule?

    I may be on to something. The Time Capsules I have live in a telephone equipment room that is indoors but not directly air conditioned or heated. It doesn't ever get too hot to be comfortable in there--the highest I've ever seen the temperature was 80 degrees (F). Most of the time the temperature is between 60-78 degrees.
    I happened to touch one of them the other day while it was in use, and I noticed that the casing was hot to the touch...not dangerously so I suppose, but much hotter than I would have expected.
    So I turned a small fan on both Time Capsules and have left it running. And I've noticed that not only do backups seem to complete more quickly, the reliability is also better. I am going to try some of my most troublesome computers once again just to see what happens.
    I know there is a fan pointed at the hard drive in the Time Capsule, but I can't see how it does much in the way of cooling things down. In my opinion, it's just surrounded by too many heat producing devices to do much good...after all, not only is there a 7200 RPM hard disk in there, but also a 500MHz Marvell processor and radio set.

  • Updates don't seem to work...

    I've been using FF8 beta for almost a month. For the last few weeks there's been an "update available" type popup in the notification area (I'm using Vista) but then the update doesn't load or something.
    1) The "connecting to update server" bar keeps moving, but apparently no connection is made. After a while I close it or minimize it then check later, but no update is ever done.
    2) When I check Help>About it shows just v8.0. So I can't tell if I have a newer build than what I first installed.
    Thanks for any info.
