Transformation - Rotate only moves path, not selected pixels.

Hi All,
I must be missing some simple click somewhere.... Just starting out with the Pen tool, paths and converting into a selection.
Trying to transform a converted selection pixels made from a path.
Current layer is visible and selected. Current path is selected. I use the path-selection tool to pick the path. I do "make selection" which turns pixels into a selection. So far, so good.
After going to Edit | Transform Path | Rotate, the bounding box is displayed. I drag the corner and the bounding box turns along with the path I made. The selection does not move at all. When I hit the 'commit' button, no pixels are moved. Nothing changes in the picture.
If I do all the above in an untouched fresh .psd file with just a background layer and a layer 1 included, everything works. Whatever is selected rotates fine.
Why would a Transform Path | Rotate work fine in one photo, but not in another?
I'm sure it's something simple. Thanks in advance.

OK, found the solution in another forums.adobe.com post.... but it's non-intuitive.
The "transform path" menu option instead of "transform" being displayed may have something to do with having multiple paths for an image. Not really sure. It's just a hunch.

Ah with you now.
With the selection on screen click on the Move tool. Then check the "Show transform tools"box at the top of the screen. After that transform away...
I hope this helps

Paste image in box – Freehand only moves box, not image inside

God bleeeees Freehand! I still stubbornly refuse to move to Illustrator, but...
I'm now getting bugs on bugs - this has just started happening: I paste an image into an image box, but then when I move the box it's only the box that moves - the image stays in same place. This is making Freehand pretty much impossible to use.
Any ideas? Heeeeeelp!

It's not a bug. Contents of a clip path are controlled by the 'Contents' check box in the Transform panel.
1. Open the transform panel.
2. Select the move icon.
3. Check the 'Contents' checkbox.
Make sure that each transform function has the 'Contents' checked as you wish it to be treated.

My mouse scroll button only moves up (not down)

My scroll button on my Apple mouse (brand new iMac) was working beautifully. All of a sudden, it will not scroll down -- only up.
Can someone give me an idea as to what might be wrong? (I checked my mouse preferences and the setting is correct, "vertical and horizontal").
Thanks in advance.

OK
I have the same problem with my wireless mouse which isn't dirty, because when using it with a CAD program which uses the scroll ball as zoom in/out it works fine.
Maybe it stopped working with the latest upgrade?.

Move tool not working correctly, will not move individual layers only only groups.

Everytime I try to move a layer within a group it moves the entire group OR if it is not in a group it moves every single layer.
The only way this does not happen is if I use the transform tool to move. This stinks for work-flow.
Im not sure if I accidently made a change somewhere OR this is a bug ? Any fixes or suggestions?

How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

Try this general troubleshooting procedure:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

3D within CS5 Extended... force transform (rotate, move, scale, etc.) on a particular axis...?

Hello,
Thanks for any help regarding my question.
I'm new to 3D as this question will be obvious to 3Ders.
I'm importing art from either Sketchup or Swift3D. When it is imported I use the varying transform methods: scale, rotate and move. I utilize the 3D axis UI where it allows me to drag the manipulators on the 3D axis UI.
Sometimes I'm unable to grab a certain attribute (usually it's rotate because the axis in question (i.e. X) is not visibly available or is behind another axis. So I usually have to move unprecisely to see that axis so I may grab and drag.
Is there a way to force a transform property on a particular axis? So if I want to rotate on the X axis can I hold down a keyboard shortcut and drag? So it doesn't accidentally move another property I'd like not to transform, or allowing me to perform the transformation without having to move the axis UI so a axis modifier is more visible (thus allowing me to drag)?
I hope all of that made sense.
Thanks!!!

Strange ATV2 behaviour - Movies can't be selected for downloaded & most menu items not selectable??

ATV2 fully online, previews movies, downloads YouTube, Homesharing all good (and a seasoned ATV owner and user)
However download movies is not working, and no error message just a "beep" sound when you select "rent movie".
Also many of the menu items cannot be selected. You cannot down select most of the items under General, so it's impossible to change settings, or to do any troubleshooting. You get the same "beep" sound when you select Name, Network, iTunes Store, Reset, etc.
I have done the usual power down, plus reset using remote, but the system doesn't seem to go back to factory default. I haven't tried the mini-USB connection to MAC as I don't have a cable but hoping someone can help?

Very puzzling that I have only seen the bad behavior on Win8.1, and not when debugging the extension. (Haven't been able to try the extension on Win8, but have tried it on several Win7 computers, and one WinServer 2012 R2 computer.)
Is there someplace to look for runtime exceptions? I haven't seen any in the Output window when the bad behavior occurs....
(If you want to try the extension, you can add a gallery and point it to www.cbates.net/VSIX/atom.xml.)

Selection tool will not select paths?

I am new to illustrator. I created a few closed paths that I filled in with the gradient tool. Then, I made another new closed path. However, when I try to select the first path I made with the selection tool nothing happens. If I hover over the path, green type saying "path" or "anchor" will appear but I cannot click it and it does not show the actual lines of the path. However, If I hover over the last object I created, I can see that path fine, and I can select it. That is the only one. I made sure that the layer is not locked and that I am working on the right layer. It was working fine earlier, but now I have no clue what happened.

There rare many reason this could be happening your item could be
locked or on a locked layer
inside a clipping or transparency mask
has a large object on top, (happens to me often when I have a white plate)
Good methods to troubleshoto this
select all then hide - to test if item is selectable or locked
hide the item on top until you dig down to why you want, make the change, then show all
command click to get past items on top, each click takes you down a layer
check your preferences that object select by path only is off, when that is on you need to be more precise with your clicks as will not select by fill only path
I recommend using the 2nd bullet technique of hiding, this will help you learn a lot about Illustrator

I paid for Quicktime Pro but only show Quicktime. I need to rotate a movie.

I have registered successfully with the license code they sent me after I paid for Quicktime Pro. The email from them says that I now have Quicktime Pro, but still I only show regular Quicktime, not Quicktime Pro.
I DO HAVE A NEW DELL LAPTOP SO THIS MAY BE OPERATOR ERROR.
I'd like to be able to rotate a movie but the directions I have don't work for regular Quicktime.
I found directions online that tell me to open Quicktime Pro. Go to "Window". Then to "Show Movie Properties" then to the icons for rotating a movie.
I can get as far as "Show Movie Properties" but after that there is a strange chart and nothing about rotating anything.
How do I get the Quicktime Pro to show up instead of regular Quicktime?
Thanks in advance for any help you may give to me.

Thank you for responding! Unfortunately, it doesn't give me this option. When I go to "Windows" and then to "Show Movie Properties" and I click on the video, nothing happened other than it is highlighted in blue. I tried clicking once. Nada. Twice Nada. I tried right clicking. Nothing comes up. The options I have are below. Is this making any sense to you? Thanks.

G71 notebook: DVD/CD drive recognizes only DVD movie DVD - not sound,not data CDs

Hi,
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Vista
Check if the drive will now read CDs etc.
If it still doesn't, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it will now read other discs/data etc.
Regards,
DP-K

Followed the directions on this page. Books are not listed among the options at step five, only movies tv shows and music, so how do I download my books then? I previously purchased two audiobooks on iTunes. They are available on my iPad, but not here.

If you go into Edit > Preferences then on the General tab on the popup that you get you should be able to select which types of content 'show' - tick the box against 'Books' :
Books then show under your 'Library' - if you select it, are those audiobooks listed there ?

When i connect my iphone to my laptop and open itunes it shows my iphone has nothing on it(no music, no movies, etc...) then when i try to sync it says iphone is is full and can only put in a selected amount of songs

when i connect my iphone to my laptop and open itunes it shows my iphone has nothing on it(no music, no movies, etc...) then when i try to sync it says iphone is is full and can only put in a selected amount of songs. Take in mind this is my first time to sync with this laptop(HP 15 ENVY) and as well my laptop is just brand new. just got it a week ago. so how do i fix this prob. and also when i open my itunes store and then view my account it says error occurred either debug it through Microsoft visual studio or close program. I tired copying all the .dll files to the itunes folder didn't help

I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it.

How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
* one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)
*see also [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]
*and [[Use bookmark folders to organize your bookmarks]]

I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open. I would select it again but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google on most visited list.

After updating AVG anti-virus, I encountered a problem on Firefox. I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open after clicking on it. I would select it again, even double click, but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google or yahoo from my dropdown on the most visited list and then click the website that I want to visit. I would like to do this in one step by just selecting a link from my history on the address bar and select a link instead of going to google and then writing the page I want to visit. What could be the problem? When going to the address bar to select a link to open, why does the site not open? Any help would be appreciated.
