Preview - "Edit" "Cut" will not work - any ideas?

I have been trying to delete an area of a photo taken from iPhoto into Preview. I use the "Annotate" rectangle to identify the area I want to delete (this has some text in it which I want to replace) and then use the "edit" menu which should show "cut" as useable but it doesn't - it remains greyed out. I have also tried using the delete and backspace keyboard buttons without solving the problem.
Any ideas as to how I can do what I am trying to do?

I don't think you can just remove part of an image with Preview.
But you can copy something else, either from the same file or another one, and paste it over it.

I downloaded yosesemite and now my canon scanner will not work. any ideas ?

Canon does not have any software updates, and mentioned that the driver should be in my operating system.

You need to download the Yosemite drivers for the scanner or use Apple supplied drivers, if said drivers do not exist, you will have to try a third party alternative such as VueScan or the like. See this website for a list of Canon Scanner models supported with VueScan:

Latest Alert for Adobe Acrobat - Upgrade will not work, Any ideas???

Hi, When the issue with Acrobat first occured (ERROR MESSAGE: Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair this problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product or contact your IT Administrator or Adobe Customer Support), I did unistall and reinstall my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, once finished reinstalling, the error kept reappearing. I also jumped onto the Adobe website and download the latest upgrade to fix this problem (http://www.adobe.com/ap/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-04.html), but the problem keeps continuing.
Any thoughts or ideas will be much appreciated. I have tried every combination of tricks and reinstalls etc and cant get it too work at all.

Hi Micahel, thanks for getting back to me, just quickly (im not the very best with computers, but am ok), when you say to check the background processes, is that starting the task manager (ctrl+alt+delete) and clicking the processes tab to see if its running there? sorry, im just not too sure where to check for this.
thanks heaps, i appreciate the assistance.
Kind Regards

Thank you I tried the reset again did not fix- I think I am down to calling Apple and paying for a tech - phone company says it is a software problem. I just updated to 8.1.3 - I thought the update might fix it.

Try:

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all media and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I have lightroom 5.7 installed, and have just downloaded / installed Lightroom CC, but although lightroom 5 runs ok, Lightroom CC will not run, any ideas please.

What seems to be working for many users (myself included) is to sign out of CC and then sign back in. After signing back in, LR will run.

The router might be bad or incompatible, but let's be optimistic.
On System Preferences, go to Network/Advanced/PPP. Only two items should be checked: Connect Automatically When Needed and Disconnect when switching user accounts. Uncheck everything else. Now, click Okay on the end of the page. The next time you're online, you shouldn't be disconnected.
If you still get disconnected like before, we might be dealing with a router issue - which can get rather complicated.

Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.
