Tools Stop Working in Both CS 4 and CS 5/Intel and G5 Macs

All tools will stop working and we will be locked into the hand/move tool, I can use the keyboard (C, T, B, G etc) to select a different tool and the tool pallet will show that I now have a different tool selected but my cursor will still display only the hand icon. This happens with two different machines and two different versions of PS and two OS.
1st machine: MacPro Dual Quad, OS 10.6.3 CS5, 14GB of Ram
2nd machine: G5 Dual 2.5, OS 10.5.8 CS4, 8GB Ram

Dont use the Apple/Command Key.
The space bar alone will put you in a temporary zoom option. Zoom in do the clone. Press Space, zoom out and you are back in the clone/heal tool.
Incidentally if you get stuck in the previous state of not being able to get back to the clone tool. Tap the space bar (and only the space bar).

  • All email links have stopped working from both Windows Mail and Thunderbird. It is probably caused by a recent update to Firefox. How can I sort this?

    It was OK until a few days ago but now no links work in either Thunderbird or Windows Mail. I have changed nothing so I can only assume that this is another case of an update changing things without my knowledge.
    Links within web pages still work. Firefox is the default browser and we have been using Windows Mail and Thunderbird (gmail and googlemail) for at least a couple of years on this computer.

    Open your firewall program. First check the settings. Make sure that the
    program is set to tell you if a new program wants access to the web. Then
    go to the list of programs the firewall has. Make sure that all the programs
    you want to access the web are set to '''ALLOW'''. If it is set to '''AUTO''', the
    firewall may not allow access.
    This problem occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
    previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
    trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
    again:<BR><BR>
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)<BR><BR>
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.

  • SPA 122 stops working with both PHONE 1 and 2 lights flashing

    Hi,
    We have hundreds of units deployed and we start having complaints that the line isn't working anymore while the unit does register with our server. Any calls going to the ATA gets a USER_BUSY condition like if a line was offhook but that's not the case.
    Anyone had this condition? I am running 1.3.1(003).
    One common thing so far is the fact those users do faxing but we ruled out config since we enable T.38 on all of them regardless.
    Since the unit registers, we can't rely on the REGISTRATION too much so would like a way to figure out if the unit is healthy or not.
    Thanks,
    Benoit

    Please update to 1.3.2(014) and see if this resolves the issue.

  • Suddenly in the middle of editing a large project the cropping and other tools stopped working. Did i hit some key or something accidently?

    suddenly in the middle of editing a large project in Aperture the cropping and others tools stopped working. Did I accidently hit something to do that?

    Maybe you hit the "p" key?
    Then "Quick Preview" will be turned on and prevent editing. Hit "p" again or use the "View" ->"Quick Preview" menu entry.

  • TS3276 Accessing Gmail suddenly stopped working on both my Powerbook pro running latest OS and Mail versions and on my iPhone. I can access via the web. I get the error that my password or username is incorrect. I reset my password in Gmail and confirmed

    Accessing Gmail suddenly stopped working on both my Powerbook pro running latest OS and Mail versions and on my iPhone. I can access via the web. I get the error that my password or username is incorrect. I reset my password in Gmail and confirmed it works on gmail, I then changed it on my Iphone and Mac Mail. It still does not work. I deleted the gamil account on mail on my mac and reinstalled it and it still will not work

    I too started having my password rejected in MAIL.app for imap.mail.me.com for my icloud email address.  Can login to icloud with web browser fine.  This has been happening off and on for several days.....if I wait 2-3 hours it will suddenly start working again, but then problem re-asserts itself ;-)

  • Face time has stopped working since update on iPad and iPhone

    My face time has stopped working since both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S did their iOS 6.1 update. They just say that a connection cannot be made, or FaceTime unavailable. Both devices are sitting beside each other, both have excellent wifi. If you try to FaceTime one of the devices, it will ring once and then lose the connection. Apple account details are all fine, FaceTime is switched on, on both. Kind of lost and frustrated now

    Hey guys,
    So I also noticed a few weeks ago facetime stopped working on my iphone but was still working on my ipad2 and macbook pro.
    Phone - iphone 4
    os version - 6.1.3
    carrier - at&t 14.2
    location - usa
    I use the same apple id for all devices
    I searched online for a fix and/or troubleshooting help. I tried alot of the suggestions on this discussion as well as others but nothing seemed to work. Out of frustration, I finally reached out to apple tech support. I went through the entire trouble shooting steps with an apple technician and was even transferred to a senior advisor for additional help. We tried everything from resetting passwords, resetting icloud accounts, resetting phone settings, checking network settings, resetting date & time, resetting location, making sure push and multitasking functionalities were working properly, etc. We spent a couple hours troubleshooting trying everything but nothing worked. The apple tech said I would have to restore the os and if that didn't work, the only other thing to do would be to send in my phone. But he did stress that I had to restore as a NEW device.
    I backed up my phone using iclould and my computer (everything is synced) and restored as a new device. I tested facetime and it worked, however my phone was back to factory position which is not ideal. So I went to itunes and restored my most resent backup. I got all my phone contents back but FaceTime no longer worked. I called the apple senior advisor back and he said I would not be able to restore from a backup because there seemed to be an issue with it that prevented FaceTime from working properly. So I backed up what I could to itunes and iCloud then restored my phone as new. After the restore, it prompted me to install the carrier software update which I did. Then I used itunes to sync my music, apps, contacts, mail, videos, pics, etc. I did this yesterday and facetime has been working properly since then. However certain things I was not able to recover.
    So far, these are the things I noticed have been lost with the restore:
    - all my settings (everything went back to default/factory)
    - voicemail messages greater than 30 days old
    - all text and iMessages (but I still have copies of imessage conversations on my iPad and mac)
    - data stored within apps (you start fresh like when you first downloaded the app. some apps i have online accounts that sync but most apps the data is lost)
    - screen display configurations
    - notes that were only on phone and not synced with an email account
    Out of all my research, this has been the only thing to get facetime working again. But on the downside, it does take a lot of time to backup, restore, re-sync, and then set up my phone similarly to how I previously had things. The big thing for me was the loss of my apps data. I wish there was a way to restore that. But when all is said and done, I'm glad to have FaceTime back on my phone.
    If you are not quite ready to restore, check out this discussion for other suggestions you can try first:

    I hope you guys find this useful.

  • Hand tool stops working in Flash CS5

    Does anyone know why my hand tool stops working after some time? Whenever I restart Flash, it works, but after like 30 minutes working, it just won't work. The hand tool symbol appears, with the shortcut key, the space bar, and the button on my pen as well, but it won't drag it at all.
    I have to restart it every time, and its getting annoying.
    I have a
    Intel Core i7-2600k @3.40GHz
    Windows 7 64-bit
    8 GB Ram
    1TB Space
    Everything works fine, is just that hand tool issue.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you.
    P.S. First time I've posted, maybe wrong forum section.

    Hi ,
    Yes for the brush tool , we just have the fill color. Snapshot attached -
    Let me know what do you want to achieve using the brush tool so that I can suggest you some other tool to be used for the requirement.
    Thanks and regards,

  • -Why did my CS2 Dodge Tool stop working as set?

    CS2 dodge tool stopped working as set, yet Burn, Sponge, Clone Tools all work; dodge tool leaves centered white specks if clicked multiple times; all my CS1 tools work; all my CS2 & CS1 tool settings are same (0 hardness, 20% exposure), rebooting does not fix; can anyone help?  Is it possible to create this problem by accidentally typing Shift, Alt or Ctrl "," or "." or similar whilst using CS2 Dodge Tool?  Thanks in advance!

    It's probably something to do with the tool's brush. If picking a brush preset (not just a brush tip) doesn't fix it then reset the Dodge Tool. Right-click on the tool's icon at very left of Options bar and pick Reset Tool.

  • Hand tool stops working randomly (CS6)

    Hi,
    So I'm working on this composition with a lot of 3d layers. Sometimes when I switch views, the hand tool stops working completely, for no apparent reason. I hit space, the hand icon still shows, but nothing happens when I drag the cursor. Then after a while it starts working again, for no apparent reason either. It's driving me nuts.
    I've already tried resetting the preferences, to no avail.
    My specs :
    i5-3330 @ 3.00GHz
    6 gigs of RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 620
    1 To HDD
    Windows 8

    Could be a cache issue or your graphics card not flushing its buffers. Turn off the performance cache in the prefs and update your graphics driver....

  • My Snipping Tool stopped working

    My Snipping Tool stopped working.
    When I open the tool I get a box with a Circle/line and OK.

    Hi,
    Did you launch it via a shortcut?
    Try to open it via original application:
    1. Open C://Windows/System32 directory;
    2. Find SnippingTool.exe as the figure below:
    3. Double click to open it to check the result.
    If it works fine, remove the old shortcut and then recreate a new one.

  • Spot Healing Brush Tool stops working in CS6 on Mac

    Hello:
    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.  While working in the Spot Healing Brush Tool in CS6 on my iMac (Mountain Lion) , the tool stops working. I use it a few times on a busy BG, and then it goes away. The brush turns to a cross, and the tool no longer works. Reseting the tool, or All Tools, does not fix the problem.
    Please let me know if there is a fix for this problem.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    BTW:
    This is also hapenning when I use the Patch tool.  It "Eventually" comes back, but I loose it again after a fix or two. Can't figure this one out. Need help.

  • My usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    my usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
    Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

    Hi I have an iPhone 4 and suddenly it stopped working. Could here notifications and nothing on the diisplay. Wake up  button on top is not working. so unable to restart the phone. Wanted to try restore from iTunes but Find my iPhone (iCloud) is on. How to recover or restart my Phone

    Follow these steps to log into your iCloud account on your computer and deactivate "Find my iPhone" on your device:
    Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
    If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.
    Note:    You can also remove your iOS device by first erasing it—just follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you don’t have. You can later restore the device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
    Turn off the device you want to remove.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete button next to the device. If the device comes online again, it will reappear in Find My iPhone. If your device reappears, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above for removing a device by turning off Find My iPhone), or if it’s an iOS device and you no longer have it, follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you no longer have.
    Remove an iOS device you no longer have
    If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, then select the device.
    Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.
    Note:    If you’re trying to erase a family member’s device, that person will need to enter his or her Apple ID password on this device. If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
    When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased, and someone else can now activate the device.
