Photoshop CS6 Problems- Shortcuts are Stuck! Lasso Does Not Work!

Hi there! I'm a Mac user with a Cintiq 12WX tablet, and I just upgraded to Photoshop CS6. I use it primarily for art, but I've come across some problems that have really interrupted my workflow. A lot of the time, certain functions seem to not work or get stuck. Here are my problems specifically:
1. My Undo shortcut is set to Command+Z. Some of the time it works fine, but most of the time I keep hitting the command and nothing happens! So if I want to delete a brush stroke, I usually have to tap multiple with my stylus and make more strokes in order to get Undo to work. Frustrating!
2. The lasso tool works sometimes, but a lot of the time it doesn't select anything. So I have to keep repeating the stroke until it does select.
3. Sometimes, the keyboard shortcuts just don't work! And even if a tool is selected, I can't do anything with it!
These problems are all completely random, I have no idea what triggers them. I've read of other people having similar problems, but I have yet to find a solution. Nothing like this happened in CS5. Does anybody know how to help me? I make me living with art and these problems have really slowed me down. Thank you!

What OS Version are you using?
It sounds like you are on MaCOS, did you install the WhiteWindowWorkaround plugin to avoid the known MacOS bugs?

    Hi guys, I have a big problem! My bookmark shortcut entry(command D) does not work anymore and do you know by any changes how to undo resetting of Safari? Thnx a million

    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
    If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
    If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

    while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
    If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • My serial number for adobe photoshop elements 12 and premiere elements 12 does not work

    My serial number for adobe photoshop elements 12 and premiere elements 12 does not work.  On adobe.com it shows that the serial number I received is associated with adobe photoshop elements 9 and premiere elements 9.  I have purchased those products in the past, but just recently upgraded to elements 12.  I can use the the photoshop organizer, but can't open the photoshop editor.

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

  • I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?

    I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?
    so i'm using the usb mouse

    I want to clarify the issue.
    The issue is with the MBP trackpad, and it works fine with an attached USB mouse.
    With some ingenuity, you might be able to fix this yourself, but I suggest visiting your local Apple Store/Genius Bar. Some have fixed this issue and have posted their results online, but the Apple Store should be your first destination.
    Post here with your results!!

  • I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 12 on Windows7. It does not work properly. Help?

    I downloaded Photoshop Elements 12 to work on my new platform Windows 7. It does not work properly. Specifically my problem is that I can only load one picture at a time onto the work area even if I have chosen two separate pictures. In other words I can not cut and paste not can I join pictures together.
    If I load the program on my older computer with WindowsXP it works fine.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    You have probably forgotten. In recent versions of PSE you must go to the edit>preferences>general and turn on Allow Floating Documents.

  • Shortcut key Ctrl+L does not work. How to fix it?

    In my Photoshop Elements 9 and Photoshop Elements 11, The shortcut key Ctrl+L for Level does not work. I press it, the Level does not show up. How may I fix it?

    1. Make sure that your image is in RGB mode. Go to Image Menu>Mode>RGB.
    2. Check that no two layers are selected in the layers panel.
    Even then the shortcut does not work , then it that case you can always use the workaround "Enhance Menu>Adjust Lightening>Levels.

  • Problem - SCSM Change status workflow does not work, shows huge "minutes behind" in SQL, but do not appear as failed.

    There is a workflow "Change request status changed" which periodically fails to run, and it does not show up in "All instances" tab. For instance when I cancel a CR, all activities remain as-is in their respective statuses.
    SQL - "SubscriptionStatus" from
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2013/01/14/troubleshooting-workflow-performance-and-delays.aspx
    shows increasing number of "minutes by" each minute for this particular workflow. 
    Restarting "Management service" does not give enything. As well as "UpdateSubscriptionWatermark" SQL from the link above (except resetting the "minutes behind" counter)
    Please help!

    Take it to an apple store and see if you can get an out of warranty replacement. It won't be free, I think the fee for an Air replacement is $299, but it sounds like the insides are broken.

  • Problems syncing iPhone 3G (Backup does not work!)

    I have had a series of problems trying to Sync my iPhone.  It first it said I didn't have enough space.  I deleted the backups (this might have been a mistake).  I tried almost every suggestion I could find (reinstalled iTunes, deleted the phyiscal backup files (and folders), etc.
    Now iTunes indicates that it is "backing up", but the progress bar does not change and after many minutes there is not progress.
    I am concerned that I will loose all the applications (many applications) that I have installed if I simpy reset the device.  I understand I can download them separately but that will take HOURS.  I am also concerned I will use my recorded audo memos,
    I was hoping there was another option(s).  Apple is useless.

  • I am having the same problem with my sound, it does not work with my games. I tried the info that was given below

    I tried the suggestion for the sound, but it is not working. the sound will not play for my games, but it does play for all other Apps

    As you don't say what suggestion it is that you've tried, I don't know whether you mean for having notifications muted, so you may already have tried the following.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • Reinstalling Photoshop CS6 on a Mac and Bridge does not install

    I've been having trouble with Bridge CS6 not creating previews and thumbnails correctly, so i tried to reinstall the software and during the process it creates the Bridge folder and then when the install is complete the folder goes away. Befroe doing this, when I went to purge the cache in Bridge I was getting a message that said the file was corrupted and to clear the master cache in cache preferences. I couldn't find that, so decided to reinstall. Now I have nothing. Please help?

    Think i figured it out. Repaired the permissions and threw away the old adobe Bridge CS6 Extensions folder. Everything works now.
