Photoshop Elements, All drop down lists locked

After downloading PSE11 and starting the trial version, all drop down lists are greyed out and locked....File, Edit, Windows, Layers, etc...all lists have the text in grey and are not available for use...I am not able to do or save anything.
Please help....and yes, I have tried opening an image and editing it...and still the same problem.
Trial versions are supposed to be fully functional...and yet nothing is functioning...PLEASE HELP!

Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. After a few seconds release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Alternatively hold down the three keys whilst clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys for a few seconds; then release. You should get the settings option.
When you see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

All drop down lists flicker on and off while typing or right clicking.

All drop down lists in Firefox, whether it's the menu drop downs, the autocomplete drop downs in the URL bar or the Search field, or even autocomplete drop downs in website form fields, flicker on and off as I type, or when I'm right clicking a link to open in new window or trying to copy a link. I can sometimes get what I want by waiting for it to flicker on and clicking at just the right moment, but it often doesn't work at all. I have a fresh install of Firefox 13.0.1 with no running add ins, plugins or other 3rd party tools. (The troubleshooting info says I have the Adobe Create PDF Extension enabled, but it's not)
None of the suggested fixes I've found in the forums seem to apply here, cause they're all related to add-ins that I don't have.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Itunes not showing elements 11 drop down list of albums and won't sync, says ïtunes cannot sync, required folder cannot be found. ï have tried re installing both but no success. pls help!!!

Hi, Itunes won't sync my photos to ipad from elements 11. itunes doesn't show drop down list of albums and says Ipad "......cannot be synced, required folder cannot be found" i have tried re installing both programs but no luck. pls help!!!

I managed to finally fix the problem in a relatively painless way. It turned out that the problem wasn't on my phone, the problem was with iTunes. I completely uninstalled iTunes from my PC and then reinstalled it and everything was fine.
In order to completely uninstall iTunes, I did two things:
Used RevoUninstaller to uninstall iTunes. This cleans out a bunch of extra things that the normal iTunes uninstaller misses.
Searched for any iTunes folders/files on my computer (using the freeware utility called Everything) and deleted them manually.
I hope that works for you.

Photoshop elements 11 drop down & side menus parts invisible

My photoshop elements 11 seems to be completly screwed up. The brush tools and/or healing tools that normally bring up a tool menu at the bottom of the screen have only half of the box visible. I cannot change the options because only half the box is shown or none of the options are visible. Its like only part of the code loaded what is spposed to appear.
The side menu is also missing parts in the very bottom left corner.
It seems like it has something to do with the screen resolution on my macbook. But this is the only program that has the problem.
I have a retna display macbook 11.
I am so frustrated with PE 11, and do not understand why everyone thinks itis so fantastic.
If there is another adobe program someone could suggest, I will listen.

PSE11 runs fine on my Macbook Pro. Are you able to drag out the bottom right corner to fill the screen?
What is your screen size e.g. 11, 13 or 15 inch and resolution?
You could try rebuilding the prefs by clicking the menu in Expert Mode and choosing:
Preferences >> General (under the Adobe PSE menu)
Then click the button to reset prefs on next launch. Close the app and launch again.

Photoshop Elements 7 - Drop Down Menus

Was trying to use the doge tool and could not select mid-tones. It keeps reverting to Shadows. Same is true on some other drop down menues such as in the Layers Menu. I try to Select Multiply and it goes back to "Normal" no matter what selection I make. Help!

As a first step try resetting the pse 7 preferences.

Elemente aus Drop Down Liste kopieren/einfügen Adobe Acrobat Pro

Hallo zusammen,
ich habe eine Frage zum Drop Down Feld, habe mehrere Felder z.B. Uhrzeit1 Uhrzeit2 usw.
Im Feld Uhrzeit1 gebe ich im Reiter Optionen in der Elementenliste Werte ein, 10:30 , 10:45 , 11:00 usw. eben den kompletten Tag in 15 Minuten abständen. ist natürlich mühsam, wenn ich davon 36 Felder habe, und müsste diese jeweils einzeln Feld für Feld eingeben.
Ist es nicht möglich diese zu kopieren wie copy/paste Funktion im Feld Elementenlist, oder wird im PDF Dokument ein Script abgelegt, den man dann öffnet und dann einfügen kann? Die Werte der Elementenliste müssten ja irgendwo abgelegt sein.
Gruss
Andreas

Please help: Populating values in drop down list by onchange - javascript !

I am working on a task - I need to populate drop down named "year" dynamically (from database) depending upon the select of an element from drop down list "carLine" . I am calling javascript funtion on onchange event of the html select and setting property of the selected element.The environment is Struts and dynaactionform is being used . Here is the my html select for both the drop down list s and javascript funtion to set value. The getYears method is defined in the locatoraction action class. But after doing all these carLine is not getting populated with the values corresponding to selected carline.
Database side is working fine .
<script type="text/javascript">
function getYearsForCarline(){
document.getElementById('method').value = 'getYears';
document.forms[0].submit();
alert("submitted");
</script>
<html:form styleId="locatorForm" action="/locator/locatorAction" method="post">
          <input type="hidden" name="method" value="getYears" />
          <tr>
               <td align="center">
               <table border="0" width="300" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5">
                    <tr>
                         <td><span class="formLabelEM"><bean:message
                              key="label.locator.carLine" />*</span>
                         <html:select styleId="carLineBox" property="carLine" onchange="javascript:getYearsForCarline()">
                              <html:option value="">Select a Carline</html:option>
                              <html:optionsCollection property="carLines" />
                         </html:select></td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                         <td><span class="formLabelEM"><bean:message
                              key="label.locator.modelYear" />*</span>
                         <html:select property="year" >
                         <html:option value="">Select Year</html:option>
                              <html:optionsCollection property="years" />
Any advise will be highly appreciated . Thanks in advance.

Thanks both of you for the advise ! My code worked perfectly fine after adding separate action mapping for Year and using that as action in the form though the new action mapping point to the same action class locatorAction ..I still do not understand the reason behind this exactly(any suggestion are most welcome) but it works. Here is code for my action mapping :
<action path="/locator/locatorYearAction" name="locatorForm"
               input="/locator/locatorMain.jsp"
               type="com.apps.sales.web.salesin.actions.LocatorAction"
               parameter="method" validate="true">
               <forward name="showCarlines" path="/locator/locatorMain.jsp"
                    redirect="false" />
               <forward name="showModels" path="/locator/locatorModels.jsp"
                    redirect="false" />
          </action>

Drop down list in adobe.

Hi,
I have created an adobe form, in which I have to create drop down box which has to read values from simple type. for this i have created context attribute whose type is simple type, and i have draged that context attribute in adobe form, and made it to drop down list, but values r not getting populating here,
how to poin this to simple type.

Hi try this way
In your view create a Value Node of cardinality 1:1 (say of name DataSource ).
Inside DataSource Create another Value Node of cardinality 0:n say Employee .
Create a Value Attribute of Java_Simple_Type say EmpName.
In Interactive Form Properties bind DataSource node under DataSource Element Properties.
Open Interactive form to Edit.
In adobe form designer go to left side window among three windows available.
Go to Data View Tab.
Here u will see your context structure.
click on EmpName under Employee Node and drag and drop it to middle window which is adobe design time window.
By this u will get a UI Element with drop down list and is automatically bound to context also.
Save and Deploy.

Creating drop-down list for prodname element in metadata causes errors

Frame 11
DITA 1.2
Due to restrictions beyond our control, we must use absurdly long product names. Therefore I want to use drop-down lists to make it easier for the authors to select a <prodname> in the metadata.
What I did:
1. In metaDecl.eddmod.fm, I created a new attribute and named it prod.
    a. I made it the Choice, and Required.
    b. The Choices currently are just Internal and RTVI for testing purposes. I'll put the absurdly long ones in when I have it working.
    c. I have a Prefix rule of: In all contexts Prefix: Product Name: <$attribute[prod]>
2. I imported metaDecl.eddmod.fm to all of these EDDs:
    In the base EDD folder:
basemap.edd.fm
basetopic.edd.fm
map.eddmod.fm
topic.eddmod.fm
   In the technicalContent EDD folder:
concept.edd.fm
ditabase.edd.fm
generalTask.edd.fm
glossentry.edd.fm
glossgroup.edd.fm
reference.edd.fm
task.edd.fm
topic.edd.fm
3. I imported the element definitions into all of the following:
ChapterOutputTpl.fm
basemap.template.fm
basetopic.template.fm
basetopic.template.fm
topic.template.fm
generalTask.template.fm
glossentry.template.fm
glossgroup.template.fm
map.template.fm
ditabase.template.fm
reference.template.fm
concept.template.fm
task.template.fm
4. I imported the elememted definitions from task.template.fm into my test document (yes, it is a task topic).
What happened:
I get the following error message in the console:
XML Parser Messages (Document Instance)
Error at file H:\DITA_Westminster\Procedures - Our DITA\Inserting_Product_Names_Versions_In_Metadata\InsertingProductNamesAndVersionsInMetad ata.dita.82F, line 28, char 49, Message: Attribute 'prod' is not declared for element 'prodname'
Error at line 28, char 71, Message: Not enough elements to match content model '(prodname,vrmlist,((brand|component|featnum|platform|prognum|series))*)'
What I did next:
1. I removed all elements from the general rule of <prodinfo> with the exception of <prodname>. <prodinfo) is the one that had prodname, vrmlist, (brand|component|featnum|platform|prognum|series) in the general rule. I also did a thorough search to ensure that no other element had this same list of element in the general rule. I couldn't find any.
2. I did the import to the EDDs and templates thing again.
3. I got the same error message again. <sigh />
Question:
Why am I still getting those 2 error messages? They are driving me crazy.
Marsha

Alex Gorly and Matt Sullivan solved one of my issues above:
Message: Attribute 'prod' is not declared for element 'prodname'
I'm still stumpled on the other one:
Message: Not enough elements to match content model '(prodname,vrmlist,((brand|component|featnum|platform|prognum|series) )*)'
As stated above, I've even removed everything from the general rule of <prodinfo> except prodname and I'm still getting the same error. I've searched everywhere for this general rule and <prodinfo> is the only place I can find it.
What I really want is: (prodname), (vrmlist)?, (brand | component | featnum | platform | prognum | series)*
so that vrmlist is optional.
No matter what I do, unless I include a vrmlist, I get the above message. Currently, our CMS can't handle vrmlist but I don't want to remove it altogether because we may be replacing our CMS.
Help please!

I am using Windows XP and just installed Elements 12. When I try to select a different brush or shape the drop down list will not stay open long enough to select a different item. I have used Elements 9 for awhile and have not had this problem

It would appear that you are destined for the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum since your question is related to Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements which is the focus program where you have posted.
But, while the arrangements are being made, here are a few things for you to think about if you have not already
1. Reset Tools - Select Brush Tool, then
2. Delete Settings File
Go to Full Editor/Edit Menu/Preferences/General and click on the option "Reset Preferences on Next Launch".
We will be watching for your progress.
Thank you.

How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Pivot Tables

Hi Everyone,
Iam stuck with 1 problem please can any 1 help me if u know the solution.
Here is my problem:
How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Oracle BI Pivot Tables?
For example, if you place Region in the pages area, a Region drop-down list allows the user to select a particular region, and see the data for only that region, rather than seeing all the Regions,But by default its not showing "ALL" option in the drop down list ,rather than doing that its showing result for only 1 region by default.
And an other problem with this pages area is, if we palce the multiple attributes in the Pages area in the pivot table, the (Fields)result is showing in vertically, the attributes 1 by 1(Every attribute in a new line) ,rather than showing like that, is there any way to show the results in horizantally?(We want to have it as a seperate drop drown list for every field horizantally not as a concatenated list).

Thanks Nikhil. But I am fetching the values from the LOVCache.java.
I am using <af:selectManyChoice>. Is there any way I can use LOVCache.java value for selecting default values instead of hard coding?
I mean to say can I write
unselectedLabel="#{LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList.anyValue}"
where LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList is used to populate the drop down box.
Regards,
Aseet

Triggering "exit" event of a drop-down list in all instances of a table row

I have a drop-down list in a table row with multiple instances that performs a calculation on the exit event. This calculation draws information from 2 other dropdown lists contained above in non-repeating rows of the same table.
The desired behavior is: should the user change their choices above, all instances of the drop-down list below would perform the "Exit" event script accessing the new values above.
My script is:
RowOptionalCoverage.DdlCoverageType.execEvent("exit");     this works, sort of
It only updates the first instance of RowOptionalCoverage and none of the subsequent instances. The user can "Tab" through the instances and trigger the Exit event for each instance, but this is not a reasonable solution.
I have tried using the resolveNodes method without success. I understand, using the resolveNodes method may be necessary when referencing multiple instances of an object:
this.resolveNodes("RowOptionalCoverage[*].DdlCoverageType[*]").execEvent("exit");     doesn't work
xfa.resolveNodes("RowOptionalCoverage[*].DdlCoverageType[*]").execEvent("exit");      doesn't work
No doubt, I must be using the resolveNodes incorrectly or missing something? Probably something simple.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Stephen

PERFECT!!! Works right out of the box!
This has opened my eyes to the essential nature of loops. My form is very large and complex and functions correctly, Yet the coding is lacking in sophistication--no loops, functions, fragments or other code efficiencies. I am teaching myself (with the help here) and I have skipped learning and using some techniques when I could things to work using the limited skill set I have.
Sometimes, I just don't "get it". After I fail a few times, I skip it and try something else. Functions are a great example. I could utilize a bunch of these if I could only write one that works. It is frustrating. If I got one to work, I know could write a ton of them. But, there is some essential part of functions I am missing that's preventing me from having my first success with them. (I think it has to do with not understanding arguments completely).
Anyway, I am overjoyed with the solution you provided and I understand it well enough to be able to use again in other situations.
Thanks again!

Filtering in excel - not all options display in drop down list

I have found an issue with the filter drop-down list in Excel 2010. I have now been upgraded (by my employee) to Excel 2013 and same problem still exists.
Problem: I highlight the row containing the column headings; then click on filter (available via the Home tab); then click on the down arrow in the column of interest (in this case "Council Names" column); the drop-down window appears but not all
council names are displayed in the selection list, even though those council names are still in the list. I am aware of the 10,000 option limit with the selection list, but my spread sheet has well under 10,000 rows (unless there is something hidden that I
do not know about).
I have found work-arounds for the problem by searching google for answers to similar problems. I have also spoken to my employee's IT HelpDesk. I will explain the work-arounds I have found below. However, my main concerns now are:
(1) What is the cause of the problem? Is there are better fix that addresses the cause, rather than having to use work-arounds?
(2) Is the issue an indication that the spread sheet has been corrupted in some way? - I need assurance that this is not an indication that the spread sheet is unstable and such problems could multiply or already be existing. (The reason I ask
this is that I had an earlier version of the same spread sheet where the problem did not occur, but it appeared in a later copy - could the copying of the sheet/workbook have caused the problem?)
Workarounds found:
(1) Select the entire sheet, then select the filter button in Home tab
(2) select all the columns manually (click in top left cell and drag down until all data selected), then select filter button
(3) Ensure all rows in the column of interest are filled in, then select filter button
I would really appreciate any answers/assistance.

Hi Jan,
Thank you very much! Yes you are right - I have looked at the Current Region and the Council Names within that region match those in the filter list. The Current Region does not contain the entire sheet.
[By the way - there were some errors in my original post: employee should be employer and in my description of the problem the following should read
"...even though those council names are still in the spread sheet". I assume that this would not change your response?]
Further questions
(1) It is odd, though, that an earlier version of the same spread sheet had a complete list of council names (the current range on this sheet contains all of the required rows of the sheet). How did the current region change between versions (I did not knowingly
do it)?
(2) Does the above mean that the file, workbook or spread sheet is damaged/corrupted in some way? If yes, can this be corrected and how?
(3) In addition to (2) above - what is the safest way to copy an excel workbook to minimise risk/avoid future corruption? [I have been copying and keeping earlier versions, partly for testing reasons, but also as a safety measure for the project as
we are making changes all the time and may decide we wish to go back to the previous version(s)].
Regards and thanks again,
Bea Rogers.

Including "All column name " in the dashboard prompt drop down list

Hi All,
I have following requirement :
1. Exclude the one of the column value from the drop-down list ( say exclude XYZ from client Name)
2. Add a new “All Clients” to the Column drop-down list and make that the default. This choice will be as if the user went in and selected all of the Clients on the drop-down list.
I am not able to achieve the second point of the requirement . Can anyone help me with this.
Edited by: Surabhi24 on Jul 12, 2012 11:52 AM

If i understand you right you are trying to change "All column values" to "All clients" and you can do that in
Global filter changes file
oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\msgdb\l_en\messages\globalfiltermessages.xml.
Thanks

When exporting from Elements to Revel, only "Library" shows in the Revel drop-down list.

I am having difficulties in exporting images from Elements 11 to Revel.
If I use the recommended procedure (i.e. clicking on File and then Export to Adobe Revel) the captions on the images are not exported.
Even if I use that method for an album that has no image captions, only "Library" displays in the drop-down list and not individual albums.
Is the only way to address these problems to buy Elements 12?

Thanks Barbara.
Unfortunately I am still experiencing various problems and I don't know whether the difficulties lie with PSE11 or with Revel. My aim is to export albums from PSE 11 on my PC to an iPad Air. The process is very hit and miss. Having done further research, it now seems that my operating systen (Windows 7) may not be compatible with Revel. If that is the case, there would be no point in upgrading from PSE11 to version 12. Are you able to comment?
