Please help! I need help with history brush problem

I'm completely new to photoshop but I have done this thing before:
open image
>ctrl J
>>select new layer
>>>select Curves
>>>>adjust accordingly
>>>>>ctrl+backspace (pic goes back to original color)
>>>>>>select history brush
this paints in that curve layer i guess...kind of like I'm putting a hole in my orginial to see the change that I made in the curves layer but only on the places I want
So for some reason this isn't working anymore! And i have no idea why! Now this error pops up: Could not use the history brush because the history state does not contain a corresponding layer.
Im using CS4 extended
What am I doing wrong?

As stated, set your History Brush source.
Also always be careful to note which layer is active after you do an undo operation.

Problems with "history brush" in CS5.1

I have somehow have activated the history brush in Photoshop CS5.1 Now it appears in all of my files in the history box and I don't know how to de-activate it. Is there some trick? Did it get stuck there because I took a snapshot of something? I tried to re-set preferences and it is still there. I am thinking about uninstalling Photoshop but would really like someone to help me turn off the history brush.

Help me please... need support with recovery on M305D-S4831

So I know I created the applications 1of1 disk, but for whatever reason it won't run.
And I know I chose NOT to make the recovery disks (dumb I know) because there was that hidden partition on my disk to recover that way...
Well now I need to recover, and when I press the zero key, I see the black screen appear with the words "HDD RECOVERY MODE" at the bottom, but then they disapear and the system boots up normally. It doesn't goto the RED LETTER screen.
I've tried it several times...
I went into windows disk manager and the partition is there, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to run or show me what's there. So I can make those disks... Can I just reinstall that toshiba software that makes the disks? Where would I find it, and what's it called?
So, if I can, I need help getting that partition to load so I can wipe out my C drive and start over.
If I can't, It makes no sense to pay Toshiba $30 for a set of recovery disks, that should be on the computer... (if that partition got wiped, it got wiped BY Toshiba when I sent my computer in for service, because I've not even THOUGHT about that partition since I bought the computer in 2008.) then I need to find another drive from another laptop, and change out the key code (i pulled the code off my computer with a key finder software thingi) or is there another way of me getting my vista back on here...
I could have upgraded to windows 7 for $40, why would I want to pay $30 to Toshiba for something that's on my disk...
I'm a bit miffed right now, if you all couldn't tell...
Please let me know what I can do before I just throw out the whole computer in the trash. (I know it's old but it's what I have right now and would really like to get it working again)
Thanks for your ear and help.

You can try tapping f8 at start up to get to advanced start up options. Select safe mode, you can try to make recovery media from there. ( Start, all programs, Toshiba, support & recovery, recovery media creator )

Please I need help with this app I am trying to make for an Android cellphone and I've been struggling with this for a couple of months.
I have a main flash file (video player.fla) that will load external swf files. This is the main screen.When I click the Sets Anteriores button I want to open another swf file called sets.swf.The app is freezing when I click Sets Anteriores button
Here is the code for this fla file.

t.start();
function onStatusEvent(stat:Object):void
          trace(stat.info.code);
meta.onMetaData = function(meta:Object)
          trace(meta.duration);
function timeHandler(event : TimerEvent) : void
if (ns.bytesLoaded>0&&ns.bytesLoaded == ns.bytesTotal )
            ns.resume();
            t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
            t.stop();
The problem is when I test it on my computer it works but when I upload it to my phone it freezes when I click Sets Anteriores button.
Please help me with this problem I dont know what else to do.
thank you

My first guess is you're simply generating an error. You'll always want to load this on your device in quick debugging over USB so you can see any errors you're generating.
Outside that, if you plan on accessing anything inside the SWF you should be loading the SWF into the correct context. Relevant sample code:
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[your_domain_here].com/library.swf");
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(urlReq, context);

If you're doing this on iOS you'll need to stripped SWFs if you plan on using any coding (ABC) inside the files. You mentioned iOS so I won't get into that here, but just incase, here's info on stripping external SWFs:

HELP! Need help linking Nano to existing Nike+ account

Hope someone can help as I'm going out of my mind. I searched but couldn't find another topic like this.
I had to restore my nano (2nd gen) to its original factory settings in itunes, which erased all songs and data. My Nano is working great now, but it's no longer linked to my Nike Plus account. When I now connect the restored Nano, under the Nike + tab in itunes I cannot check the box to automatically send my workout data to Nike+. The only option is to register. I'm already registered but there isn't an option to link to an existing account?
After the restore on my nano, how do I link it in itunes to my existing Nike+ account that has all my run data stored? Like I said, the only option on Itunes is to register and that's not what I want to do since I already am registered!
I guess this would be the same problem if I bought a new Nano so I'm sure this question has been raised before.
Please help! I need this fixed before my run tomorrow! Thanks folks!
Scott

GFF,
Yes, I checked the link you provided below and couldn't find any topic with a similar problem. I already did my run for the day so won't know until tomorrow if the receiver and sensor gather info but everything appears like it will work just fine. When I plug the receiver in the Nike+ option pops up in the menu and it looks ready to go. It even recognizes the sensor so I think that's okay.
I did email Nike Plus but they haven't answered yet.
When I connect the Nano to itunes, I cannot check or uncheck the box to automatically send the info. The only option is to "create a Nike account." I clicked this and tried to just add my existing account and it wouldn't let me saying it already exists.
There has to be a simple way to do this. Can't imagine you lose everything if you get a new Nano or have to restore one.
Maybe more options will pop up after my run tomorrow morning when I plug in the Nano to itunes with a run to send to Nike+
I'll let you know. Until then, any other suggestions would really be appreciated!

Art History Brush problem

After following numerious tutorials and looking at Adobe help, I cannot get the AHB to work in CS3. Get an error message saying there is a programe error. The ordinary History Brush will work for me just fine, but thats not what I want.
1) Snapshot for history state
2) new layer to paint on (either empty or filled with plain background)
3) AHB sellected and paraminters set for brush
What am I doing wrong - any suggestions PLEASE

Have now answered my own problem. Art History brush is only available to 8bit images unlike the History Brush which will work with 8 & 16bit. Could find no info regarding this in Adobe help, or anywhere else!
Found out by using CS4 when the same error message told me what the problem was! . . . . . . . . so easy when you know how.

Please help - I need help working with a "curved" scanned image!

Hello --
I've been looking here for a while and finally got around to registering because I have a question. I'm sure I have this posted in the wrong place, so don't jump me for that - I'm just not sure WHERE I should post a question / plea for help.
I have a shape (kind of a wavy 3/4" stripe) that I need to reproduce in photoshop. I was able to take the original and scan it into my computer. Upon scanning, though, the color it no longer solid but actually looks a quite a bit speckled, and the edges of this stripe tend to not be 'crisp" and it need to redfine the edges. I need to repaint the stripe, and it has to remain the same 3/4" diameter all through it's length.
If anyone can suggest a way that I can take this scanned image and redefine the edges so I'll have a "new" crisp, solid colored stripe, that I can keep the same 3/4" width and then will be able to highlight it and repaint it would be appreciated. I tried highlighting the shape and applying a thick "stroke" around the edge but this just made it worse -- kind of like using a pen on a piece of paper on top of glass -- almost impossible to write or draw smooth! It's for a small model airplane decal, so the edge needs to be sharp and crisp.
Thanks for any help in advance!
--Henry

¨Hi Henry,
I'd use the Pen tool and trace around the shape in order to create a Vector Path or a Vector Shape. But, you'd need to study the black art of Bezier curves first.

Please i really need help bad with installation

I bought dreamweaver 8 long time ago worked on my other
computer wit xp, i bought another computer vista in it and
installed dreamweaver all it does is I see the logo and then it
turns off the program, so i tried and downloaded a trial version of
CS4, of course i uninstalled dreamweaver 8, cleaned my registry and
hidden folders and installed it and the same deal i only see the
logo and it shuts off the program, so i downloaded the CS3 same
deal. could anybody plllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help
me out. whats going on?
i hate frontpage.

What version of Vista are you using?
Also with CS4, if it is not working that is something that
would be better suited for Adobe support since they do support CS4
and Vista.

Please I really need help with this one.

Ok I have this problem where I hook my ipod up and it works fine connects and is recognized. However, when i start trying to move music to it or transfer information using it like a jump drive it suddenly disconnects. At this point it is no longer recognized by my computer unless I restart my computer. In device manager it shows up as an unknown device and when i check the status of it, it says no device drivers installed for this device. What could be the problem here?

PLEASE HELP I NEED HELP

I logged in to my mid 2012 13" MacBookPro with Latest OSX Mavericks and my dock only appears if i click down on the bottom of my screen (I hide my dock so that it only comes up when I hover over where it would be) and when I do get the dock open if I hover over anything it doesnt give the name of it! After playing with this problem for a while I have concluded that wheneverer I hover over something it doesnt appear available the click on e.g. when I click on file on safari none of the options appear blue and available to click. This also makes it impossible to play video games becaues i have to hold down left click to move.
PLEASE HELP ME!!

Open the Terminal in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following lines separately:
killall Dock
killall Finder
Press RETURN after each line. The Dock will automatically restart itself. See if that helps.
If it doesn't help then do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
