Transform box won't disappear?

Greetings!
Working in CS4 on the Mac. Hunting around earlier today for type functions, I stumbled across an option to display my transform handles (aka bounding box) when on a layer inside the image. Put another way, I have my handles even though I haven't hit Command-T.
How do I turn this overlay back off? It gets awful distracting!
Thanks sincerely.
Sorry to pose such a no-brainer!!

There's a checkbox in your options bar called "show transform controls". Options bar for Move Tool.
Sometimes its just so obvious that its almost distracting. I have a theory that people assume photoshop is a lot more complex than it actually is - and as a result can't see something when its staring them in the face.

  • TS1702 iPad won't power off - dialogue box won't disappear

    Hi, there is a dialogue box saying 'Your rental movie has expired' and it's asking me to press ok.  I press ok but nothing happens.  Nothing else works because the dialogue box just stays there.  Troubleshooting recommends to power of the iPad, but it won't let me use the slide button to power off - because the dialogue box overrides it.  Any advice?  Thanks!

    Have you tried a soft reset...hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears in the center of the screen and the unit restarts.

  • Hover help box won't disappear

    While using Dreaweaver CS6 small help boxes appear everywhere I move the cursor over the application window. See attached. How is this turned off? Can't see anything obvious in the view menu.
    Thanks Ian

    Can you post the exact version you're using?
    There have been a few known issues for tag selector (hinting) appearing and not going away for few users. But, what you see is a tooltip. I haven't come across this earlier.
    How long do you leave your cursor for in that area for the tooltip to appear? Or is it appearing instantly?
    In the meantime, I suggest you try resetting your cache file to see if that helps: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811

  • Transform Box Numeric Entry Error - HELP!

    I am using InDesign CS3 on a G5 Power PC Mac with 2.5 gB of SD RAM. The problem that I am getting is with the numeric entry into the "Transform" box in InDesign.
    It will only happen on large or complex files that I am working on, I will have a particular measurement - 125 mm - and I will want to subtract 25 from this measurement.
    I place my cursor at the end of the measurement and type "-25mm" but the entry just seems to disappear. I then click again in this box (it does not matter what box within the transform window it is) and re-enter the measurement quickly and press return and the same result - it still retains the original measurement of 125 mm.
    This does not happen with every measurement that I enter - but I seem to find that if I leave the program idle for a short amount of time that this issue seems to resolve itself. However, it does keep happening and I am losing valuable time in modifying a document.
    If anyone has any solution - could you please let me know. Look forward to reading some replies over the coming days.
    Regards, Shaun

    Try just "-25", skip units.

  • How can I clear unwanted transformation boxes?

    In the last 24 hours free transform boxes have become fixed - I can't apply transformations.
    In addition, free transform boxes appear when they are not wanted.
    Here is an example: if I make a simple rectangular selection then copy and paste it into a new layer, as soon as I click on the pasted area I get an unwanted transform box which I can't get rid of.   It disappears whilst I am in a different layer but reappears on returning to the problem layer.
    Restarting makes no difference and the problem is present all the time with the simplest of images or just new plain shapes.
    I have made no changes to PS and added no new plugins, just carried out normal PS work over this period.
    To begin with I found once or twice that I could trick PS into applying the problem ransformation by clicking in the layer with the Text cursor but this trick soon failed.  Now if I select the text tool I get the query box: "Apply the transformation?"   Clicking "Apply" makes the transformation box disappear but it reappears again immediately the layer in question is clicked.
    I have CS5 12.1 x 64 , Windows 7 on a Dell XPS8300 with 8 GB of RAM
    Help please.

    With the Move Tool selected do you have Show Transform Controls checked?

  • Photoshop v14.01.2 - PCx64 - Transform Box Inverted

    Hello adobers, and photoshopers.
    Here my question.
    A PC running adobe photoshop CC (updated t v14.01.2 next friday) is challenging me with this little 'bug' :
    After a first transformation, if I want to transform again an element (in this case, a logo in a dynamic object), the transform box is inverted : if I move the right down corner, the transformation apply to the Up left corner). doesn't know if it's something happening for other users, and a bug concerning this version of photoshop CC or if it's an updating problem only on my computer.
    thx for helping.
    Antoine

    Thank you for your answer.
    It's a smart object, yes (tested with vector object or simply image object, and without being a smart object just a pixel element).
    This bug happens when right cliking for a transform, or by choosing a transformation in the menu, and only if the object has already been transformed one time. it's a second transformation that makes the bug happening.
    Holding a modifier key or not, doesn't make it happening more often or less.
    by the way, working from a new file has made this bug disappear. the original file must have been corrupted, but i don't know how.
    thank you

  • Illustrator cc2014 open dialog box won't work yosemite

    I have a Macbook Pro Retina 2014 with a fresh install of Yosemite and Creative Cloud, after a while, when I used the open dialog box for 4 or 5 times to open documents, that dialog box won't work anymore, I have to quit and reopen the Illustrator application, the shortcut won't work either. Is anybody got that problem before?
    When I was on Mountain Lion, I never got this problem, I presume it's related to Yosemite.

    Gelouis,
    I believe it is a bug in CC2014, appearing when you have the Illustrator open/place dialogue set to column view and sort by date or sort by kind. You may change it to view by name or list view.

    Or you may get it right by changing the sort to something else.

  • How can I click on a button and make a text box appear or disappear

    How can I click on a button and make a text box appear or disappear?
    Thanks ahead of time for your help,
    Doug

    Hi Denes,
    I just thought that the example you pointed the OP to, is far more complex than what I understood he needs. The OP was talking about using a button, which I thought was a very basic and simple case. Your example is much more complicated. If memory serves, the radio group item, at the time (prior to 3.1 fieldset) behaved differently, so you needed to create a new value retrieving function, and then was the need to preserve the items show/hide status upon reloading the page. In short, I thought maybe I didn’t see the complexity in the OP post, but it seems that his requirement was indeed a simple one.
    Regards,
    Arie.

  • I have an email that is sent but won't disappear from my screen. I push cancel and nothing happens. I can't get back to my accounts. What do I do ?

    I have an email that won't disappear from my screen.
    I push cancel and nothing happens.
    I can see my accounts "behind" the email but I can't access them.
    I have turned machine off and on again.
    What else?

    Go back to your homescreen, then completely close down your mail app by double clicking the home button to open the multi-tasking bar. Hold your finger on the mail app icon and then click the red circle that appears on the left of the icon.
    Once you have done that, reopen the mail app and you should be sorted.

  • Print Dialog Box won't Open

    My husband has an Intel Mac Mini that has issues. He can't open the print dialog box from any application--Mail, Firefox, Quickbooks, Word, etc. He can't print anything at all because the dialog box won't open when selecting <file> and <print> or clicking the print icon if there is one in that application. I deleted the printers and reinstalled the drivers...nothing. I upgraded from OS 10.7 to 10.8...again nothing. I zapped the pram...still nothing. I've been using Macs for 15 years and this issue has got me stumped. Any suggestions?

    I was unable to find the SavedData file.  I am running Windows 7 and there seems to be two files there /Roaming/Adobe/InDesign and /Roaming/Adobe/AdobeInDesing5.5 and neither one has a clear file name "InDesign SavedData" for me to remove.  I think I found the "InDesign Debaults" under the /Roaming/Adobe/InDesign/version7.5/en_US/InDesignDefaults.  Is that one it?

    If you don't have original install disks for your Mac, you can order replacements disks directly from Apple at a nominal cost. The original install DVDs are required to reset the password.
    If you have no data on your drive that you want to keep, you can boot up from the OSX Snow Leopard disk and install OSX SL.
    Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and hold the C key during startup. The Mac should boot from the CD/DVD drive into the installer.
    Follow the prompts, erase the disk and install OSX Snow Leopard.

  • The volume icon on my ipod won't disappear and the volume sets itself at full.

    The volume icon on my ipod touch won't disappear and the volume sets itself at full. I have tried a master reset etc, but it doesn't want to cooperate. Any ideas?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If you still have a problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    I do not know what a "master reset" is.
