Some functionality of the move tool stopped working after Photoshop Elements 12.1 update

After updating to Photoshop Elements 12.1, the move tool can not be used to drag and drop one photo onto another (when more than one photo file is opened). Please advise.
Ted

This is a new bug with the 12.1 update. If you are in 'Tabs' view then dragging from one tab to another does not shift the image focus so you can never drop. A bug report for it has been created at http://feedback.photoshop.com.
Workaround is to switch to tiled view (Window> Images> Tile in Expert view) and tile your images side-by-side then you can drag and drop.
Cheers,
Neale

After upgrading my iphone 4s software to 6.1.2, the sounds have stopped working, After upgrading my iphone 4s software to 6.1.2, the sounds have stopped working? Can it be recovered or a Hardware has to be replaced. I tried restoring my phone, but it did not work. Any solutions?

I have a similar problem, but after following your suggestion of deleting my iphone backup and then turning backup back on again, I needed to plug my phone into my computer to sync the backup. I re-tried to do an icloud backup and it again told me that "the last backup could not be completed"... since I had deleted the backup, it says the "Last backup: never". Ugh. I reconnected my iPhone 4S to my computer and iTunes so I could sync my phone and do a backup... it's still "waiting for sync to start"...
For your iCloud backup, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
If you turned iCloud backup off and try to sync to create a backup on your computer and got a "waiting for sync to start" error, it may be caused by a corrupt backup on your computer. You could try deleting your last backup by opeing iTunes and going to Preferences>Devices, clicking on your last backup and clicking Delete Backup. Then try again.

Don't know what to do or who to ask??? GPS stopped working after 4.4.2 Kitkat update.

Don't know what to do or who to ask??? GPS stopped working after 4.4.2 Kitkat update.
I have been on the phone multiple times with Verizon, visited multiple stores and still getting different answers with every different person I talk to...
Since the 4.4.2 update, my phone and my wife's phone (14 or 15 month old SIII's) that worked perfect a couple weeks ago no longer know where they are 95% percent of the time... Location cannot be found and GPS satellites cannot be seen (sometimes after searching for 10 - 20 minutes they will lock on).
And it's not just Google maps, it is all apps that need location (ie. gps status and toolbox, weather channel, etc...)
Google maps has us in the right location 50% of the time but i think that has more to do with 4g and wifi (although i always know the weather and traffic conditions in the next town over now).
Navigation will set up fine in Google maps until you actual move the car. Then it updates location every couple minutes, but usually a couple streets over from where I actually am. Maybe 1 out of every four or five times I try it, it will start working about 15 minutes after I started it (then work flawlessly, so it can actually work sometimes). But if you end the process and start over to see if it really "works", back to square one with it not knowing its location all over again...
I obviously did all the normal trouble shooting fixes with the battery and sim card removals and even did a "recommended factory data reset" on my phone with no luck. After this didn't work I stopped by another verizon store yesterday that has "tech services" that I was told could run some sort of diagnostics on my phone. After I showed the tech all the screen shots i have taken of what was happening while driving, he said it is a software problem and a very common one at that.
I was told I should either buy new phones or switch to the edge program where i can get a new phones. These don't seem like very fair solutions to me considering before the 4.4.2 update our phones worked perfect and they are both in almost perfect condition after 14 or 15 months...
Will there be a fix to this??? Is it a Samsung problem??? Should I be contacting them???

If it is 3GS, you can update it to iOS 5 and it will work.

The Move Tool not working in InDesign CC 2014, no click-and-drag. What Can I do to fix it?

It just started not working this week. I am unable to click-and drag anything in my document with the Move Tool. I have noticed that I can click-and-drag objects if I switch to the Free Transform Tool. Ok work around for now but I want to fix the issues. I have tried deleting the preferences and reinstalling the program but with no luck.
Anyone have any suggestions?

TS1398 Have Wi Fi at home and for some reason over the weekend it stopped working on ipad and iphone but works on blackberry and 2 x computers......help

I have Wi Fi at home, over the weekend it stopped working on our Ipad and Iphone, yet it still works on Blackberry and laptop and desktop, have tried forget this network, have tried reset network settings but looks like nothing works, The Ipad and phone show the "mushroom" bars as if connected, yet it doesn't display the family wi fi network as normal,.....help

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 tonight and initially had the same problem. I could send a text via iMessage only through cellular network; not my wifi. After fooling around with the settings for an hour or so, I THINK I solved the problem...
According to an article I read online, iOS 6 unifies your phone number and Apple ID. Therefore, if someone sends an iMessage to your phone number, you could hypothetically receive it via an iPad or Mac. In my case, I didn't have my cell number listed on my Apple ID account. Therefore, when I connected to my wifi, iMessage tried to access my number via my Apple ID. Since I didn't have my number listed, iMessage subsequently didn't work.
I logged into my Apple ID, added my mobile number. I also rest my network settings under 'settings,' 'general,' 'reset,' and 'reset network settings.' Then, I restarted my phone. Under my message settings, I selected 'send and receive' and made sure BOTH my phone number AND email address were selected. Everything SEEMS to be working fine now...
Hope this helps!

Hi, i have an IPod Touch 4g. One of the earphones just stops working after while,no matter how many times i replace them. What do i do?

Hi, i bought my IPod 4G about 7 months ago. After about a mont of buying them, one the earphones just stopped working which became extremely annoying..so i bought a new set of earphones and they worked well for about 5/6 months and then one of them stopped working as well. About 2 weeks ago, i bought a new set of earphones and now the right earphone of that has stopped working as well. The thing is, the earphone doesnt just stop working on my IPod, it also stops working on my laptop...and now i am very confused as to where the problem lies. I can't keep buying headphones every other week cos that is just too expensive and i dont know if the problem lies with my IPod or what! The same thing is happening to my sister's IPod as they were purchased at the same time. What do we do??

This previous discussion discusses the same if not similar problem.

Moving Tool not working in Photoshop Elements 12 in Yosemite

Hello, my moving tool for Photoshop 12 in Yosemite is not working. When I drag an object in the layer, it keeps snapping back to the center. I've tried closing other programs, rebooting, different files, made a new file, made new layers, nothing.
The only thing that works to free up the moving tool is using Command T. I see the bar with align center etc. which works but it won't let me free move the position with the move tool.
Is this a glitch? Is something configured wrong? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!

On Windows 8, some widgets, such as the menu button near the upper right, stop working after some time, and functionality is restored by rebooting the PC.

I use the latest releases of Firefox as they become available on a Windows 8 PC. Firefox works properly, usually for a few hours, before annoying problems manifest. The problem I'm addressing here is some widgets, including some Firefox widgets and isolated widgets (such as buttons and pull-down selectors) in some websites stop working. In Firefox, the Menu button (the three stacked dashes icon) stops working. And the Download arrow sometimes stops working also. Sometimes, sub-items such as Print stop working. For some pull-downs, the up and down arrow keys might still work even though I might now be able to select with the mouse. Closing and reopening Firefox usually restores some functionality. However, I usually have to reboot the PC to restore all functions which stopped working. Then I am good for usually a few hours again. Another annoyance, which others have addressed, is the eventual appearance of Chinese-looking characters on the tab labels bar across the top. Restarting Firefox gets rid of these for the time being. Thanks for investigating.

hello, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).
the oriental characters are a displaying flaw caused by the mcafee site advisor extension - please try to disable or remove that in case you have it present until there is an update by mcafee that can fix the problem.

Why does the Typewriter Tool stop working in an enabled Reader document?

I am using the latest version of Adobe Reader (9.4). I use it to complete Adobe Reader - enabled pdf forms. The typewriter tool is available but periodically stops allowing changes in the font and font size. These areas of the Typewriter Tool are greyed out. You can still add text with the typewriter tool but only with the font and size that was last selected. The only way to fix this this is to use the "Repair Adobe Reader installation" under the help menu but this almost always (>98%) requires a complete restart of the computer. This quirk is extremely annoying and no one seems to know what causes it or how to stop it. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a permanent solution for this problem?

Is the damage actual or only display (are the layers complete according to their previews in the Layers Panel)?
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
What have you done for trouble-shooting so far? (Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved mis usually a good starting point):

Why does the select tool stop working and images save with areas missing?

I have been working on an image using simple tools (only select, crop and scale) and no more than 4 layers.
The quick selection tool, magic wand tool and polygonal lasso tools are not selecting simple areas. They leave square sections unselected, and eventually I can't select anything on my canvas. The paint tool also does not work. I decided to save the image I had made even though it was unfinished, and upon reopening the file (a PSD) there were square transparent areas that were not there when I saved it (see image)
This is what I've tried:
I work on the layer selected
I have reset all the tool settings back to the default ones
I have reset the program preferences back to default settings
The Photoshop CC software is up to date
I have turned the program and my computer on and off again
Can someone please help?

Snipping Tool stopping working after installing Office 2013 Pro (32 bit) on Win 7 Pro 64bit - help?

Have been looking at many forums to fix this:
ran SFC - no errors
rebooted multiple times
all Windows Updates are current
don't want to disable antivirus, as some have suggested
Uploaded a registry fix, which several have suggested - no soap
Note:
all other features of this PC work great - zero issues.
the issue starting right after installing Office 2013 Pro - 32bit. It runs fine.
"Paint" runs fine. "Print Screen" works fine - image goes to clipboard, and I can paste anywhere.
get the standard message everyone posts in forums:
"The Snipping Tool is not working on your computer right now. Restart your computer, and then try again. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
Have tried other free third-party tools, and they are cumbersome, and I love the MS Snipping Tool.
Advice? Tips?
Thanks,

Brush tool stops working after I use select tool

So everything is fine until I use the select tool, and then free transform a part of the image. Then my brush and eraser stop working until I save and restart the program. Help please?

In versions of PSE prior to PSE 11, quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift/command+option+shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
For PSE 11, go to the editor preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor:
