Running 10.9 mavericks and Lightroom 5 brushes continually stop working and points disappear

I am having an issue where any brush I select will not work.  I can be in the middle of using one and it just stops having an effect.  Also, there are times when after selecting a brush and trying to use it nothing happens and no point is stored.  It is becoming more and more of an issue as I add pictures to my library to develop. 
I have a huge art show coming up and this has went from a small problem to a very large problem as time draws to a close.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Some other notes,  I am on a 2012 macbook pro running 16gb of RAM and am running the program from my SSD.

Hi R_Kelly,
I made a new action from scratch and it does work (sorta).  Which means there is a lot of work in my future to recreate all my actions!
But the droplet doesn't show as a photoshop droplet. i get a generic file icon (see below) And, I couldn't find it right away because it's creation date says June 2011!?! when i made it today Dec. 2013. So something is definitely wrong!

    Firefox 33.1.1 running on either Mavericks and Yosemite crashes (infinite beachball) about a minute after opening. On both systems I had installed the XMarks and LastPass add-ons. I noticed that when I disabled those add-ons, the crashing behavior stopped. Is there a known issue with those add-ons and the 33.1 version of Firefox?

    Does this also happen in Firefox beta? It is working for Yosemite for me on Beta channel.

  • I have an '09 15" mac book pro running os x mavericks and I'm having trouble burning a dvd.

    I have an '09 15" mac book pro running os x mavericks and I'm having trouble burning a dvd. In iMovie, I sent my movie to file and then to iDVD to burn a copy. It was saved in Documents. When I went to iDVD, the thumbnail image of the movie to be burned was faded and inoperable. What's going on now?

    Did you export the movie out of iMovie as 480p?  Next just drag the movie from the Documents folder into the iDVD menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones. 
    Lastly follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

    That sounds like it is working, Tony - remember that once you've painted where you want the effect of the brush to apply, you need to adjust the brush parameters, which all start off zeroed.
    If you want to see where you've applied the brush, press the (letter) "O".

  • Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working [Lightroom 5 Beta]

    I was looking for a Lightroom 5 Beta forum but am unable to find one.  Today, I downloaded and installed LR5 Beta on my new HP Envy 64-bit Windows 8 machine.  After running an installation, I started the program.  At first, it asked about opening a catalogue during which time I created a new one as I have no intention of using my LR4 catalogue for LR5B.  After creating the catalogue, it stated the following:
    "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    After it closed, I tried opening it again.  Same result.  No matter how many times I tried, the program would not open.  I tried reinstalling the program to no avail using the "repair" feature.  Finally, I just removed the program.

  • Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64 bit has stopped working error

    I had not been using my laptop for a while and decided to install lightroom 3.2.  I did the install and now when I try to start lightroom I get the error message in the subject line:
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64 bit has stopped working
    I have a Windows 7 laptop, with 6gb RAM, ATI Radeon video card.  The laptop is working well, except I just noticed that Photoshop CS5 64 bit and After Effects both give a similar error upon starting those applications as well.
    Any ideas as to how I can solve this problem.
    Thanks,

  • LR3 - my brushes have stopped working

    My brushes have stopped working for some reason. Spot removal still works fine..
    I have tried the following:
    I cleared the history.
    I cleaned out the cache.
    I have tried an update from the adobe website (now at LR 3.6)
    I have restarted the computer after every try.
    I'm stuck now. Any ideas?

    Do you have either the Flow or the Density sliders (or both) set to a very low number? If so, increase the value.

  • Adjustment Brushes in Lightroom 3.6 have stopped working on my iMac

    I have Lightroom 3.6 loaded on my iMac v10.6 and have been using it continuously for some time.     For the second time in just a few weeks the Adjustment Brushes/Sliders have stopped working correctly, that is there is no noticeable adjustment on my image [for example Brightness, Exposure, Clarity etc.].      I cannot remember what I was told to do to correct this problem last time I had to contact Adobe Support about this issue,  and I'm told I now have to pay for support for this product now as Lightroom 4 is released.
    Is there a way I can fix the problem?
    Thank You.

    You've checked the density and flow sliders are set high enough?

  • The adjustment brush suddenly stopped working in Lr CC (among other things)

    1. All of a sudden the adjustment brush stopped working in my Lr CC. The little buttons that you can click on to activate your adjustments are gone and when I open files where I have done adjustments they are still there but no "buttons" to click and consequently I can not make any changes or new adjustments. For example; in the image I have inserted I have made adjustments with a) Sharpness, b) Skin Softening and c) Iris Enhance and the adjustments are still there but no "buttons" any more and therefore I can´t change anything. I edited this image April 29 and 30 when Lr still worked fine. Today (and yesterday) things has really start spooking around with Lr.
    2. After having saved an image in Ps CC as a psd-file going back to Lr CC for cropping Lr continuously reloads and resets all edits that I have done or are trying to do.
    Everything has been working earlier but the past two days things like the above has stopped working.

    Well, all problems regarding this are solved after having talked to Adobe's support. After having backed up my lrcat we deleted the Lightroom 6 plist, emptied the trash can and then restored Lightroom to its default values during the start-up process.

  • HT1689 I can reach the iTunes Store from my iPod Touch, but it will not open on my PC running Windows 7.  Message shows that iTunes has stopped working.  This happens every time.  I have updated iTunes Software.  Will not solve the problem.  What is wrong

    I have uninstalled iTunes several times and reinstalled it on my PC running Window 7 with all updated loaded.  When I click on the iTunes Store Box, Nothing happens except for a message that reads:
              iTunes has stopped working.
    The following items give me a choice, but no answer comes up.  The computer will shut down the website.
              "Check online for a solution and close the program"
              "Close the program."
    There is an item below the box that is selectable for View problem details.  When clicked a long list of items show up.  I have listed some of the problems as written, but I do not understand them.  I know the iTunes Store has been available on earlier versions of of iTunes but is not on this version.  How can we go back and download an earlier version of iTunes?
         Here are some of the Problem Details:
         "Problem signature:  APPCRASH
         Application Name:     iTunes.exe
         Application Version:  11.0.1.12
         Application Timestamp:  50c8fc7e"

    I had this exact same problem.  I found this fix and it worked for me. 
    Step 1:
    Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. 
    Step 2:
    Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Hope this helps you.  I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
    Good Luck.
