Unable to make new layers

I am unable to make any layers on any of my pictures that I open in edit or create.... It says that I cannot make the layer because the layer is locked.. How do I unlock this so I can make layers?

Agree, Barbara
I do it as a matter of routine for at least 3 reasons:
1. Some functions of the program don't work on a locked layer, requiring one to rename it or duplicate it in order to overcome this hurdle.
2. Should one want to start over again, one has at hand the original layer. Just delete the newly generated layer(s). Of course, one can arrive at the same point via the undo history palette.
3. One may want to interpose a new, blank layer, for one reason or another, in one's workflow between the background layer and the background copy layer, so here it is all set up to go.
If you think that this is pedagogically unsound, I shall respect that and refrain from inserting this step in subsequent advice.

  • Unable to make new layers. . . Help needed

    First of all, I know how to use Photoshop. I know how to lose layers and how to make new ones. Somehow my layers panel is not allowing me to create any new layers and I can't figure out why. The entire layers panel seems to be deactivated and I don't know how to fix it. If anyone can be of assistance, I'd very much appreciate it. I can provide screen shots if needed.

  • Unable to make new Airport Extreme a WDS Main station

    I tried adding a new AX (dual band) to an older AX network to extend the cloud. The older AX does not "see" the new AX when I go thru the step to add remote base stations. I tried making the new AX the WDS Main but that option was not available on the new AX. Using Leopard with 5.1.4 of Airport Utility. New AX is firmware 7.4.1. Older AX is 7.3.x (7.4.1 screws this unit up).
    Shouldn't the new AX be able to be configured as a WDS main?

    EPILOG:
    As far as I can tell, the new "Dual Band" Airport Extremes don't support WDS clouds. The only option in the configuration is to "Extend a network" and I was unable to get that to work with an older AX that was configured as a WDS Main base station. The Dual Band AX always came up yellow saying the network could not be found.
    The only solution was to throw away the 802.11g WDS remote devices and turn the main base station into an regular 802.11n base station, allow it to be extended and extend it with the Dual Band AX.
    As a breadcrumb to those who find this post, this device will waste alot of your time. Most of the Apple articles that come up when searching for how to do this give settings and screen shots for pre-Leopard versions of Airport Utility and are about setting up a WDS network. You also have to be careful about upgrading the pre Dual Band AX to Firmware 7.4.1 as it turns it into a brick in some cases.
    I got it to work with the two different AX running different firmware (7.3.2 and 7.4.1)...YMMV
    Its important to set the wireless channel specifically to one of the available ones and not let it default to Automatic.

  • Sybase unable to make new mbo

    Hello there,
    I've been trying for a couple of days now to create a new mbo based on the bapi 'API_RE_RS_RESERVATION_CREATE', I always get the same error: 'Error occurred during exectuion, please check the default values of the selected input parameters and refresh again.'  The reason is a java.lang.NullPointerException.
    I even tried to fill in every default value I could and deleting them too...
    This error always happens whenever one of the internal tables is selected as parameter..
    why is it impossible to create this mbo ? And how can I create it without these errors ?
    greetings,
    Amintah

    Hi,
    I guess the issue is with the tables parameter you need to fill as default value. I never managed to fill tables parameter as default - I am only able to fill single value fields. Do you need tables param t do this? Are you able to build a wrapper to fill these fields?
    If you create a Z - class and in there send the table parameters as usual values, it should work fine.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,

  • Unable to make new concert problem

    I'm running Mainstage 2 and at the moment I can't bring up the new concert dialogue. I can open my previous projects but when i hit new on the file menu I get nothing. I'm not sure if maybe the window is hidden or what but help'd be appreciated. Thanks.

    Is this a fresh install.. has it ever worked? Maybe try having the app create a fresh preference file. With Mainstage not launched, go to User/Library/Preferences and remove the com.apple.mainstage.plist file. You can drop it on the desktop for now. Relaunch Mainstage and see if that fixes it.

  • Unable to make new paper sizes

    I recently bought and installed v9 std, having been using v7, or 3D previously. After installing I found there are only a limited number of paper sizes available so have gone into printer preferences to add new ones. Clicking on Add/Modify button brings up the dialogue box for a new page name and sizes which I enter as a new page size with an unused name. After I click the add button, I get the message "Not allowed to modify system or printer defined paper size (a2). only user defined paper size can be modified or deleted."
    Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?
    I'm running Vista Ultimate with full administrator privileges.

  • New layers from line sections?

    If I have an outline on a transparent background, perhaps like a bunny, with the outer line and internal lines defining sections. I want to make new layers out of those sections filled in, different layers for each section. The way I've been doing it so far is to create a new layer, then either fill over the area and erase what isn't in the section I want, or else draw over the outline of the section and flood fill it in. Either way this takes a long time. I tried filling in the section with flood fill, using magic selection, and make new layer from copy, but the problem becomes that the edges of the inner section aren't right to the edge of the line and this is visible with what I'm filling with (often solid colors), which is why I drew over the edges on another layer because I can place the outline on top and the underside isn't seen.
    Is there a faster way to do this?

    Outline starts like this:
    Goes to this, with each color on a separate layer:
    The yellow layer looks like this:
    The whole thing looks like this when finished, colors still on separate layers:

  • Unable to make purchases with my new Mac in iTunes Store.

    I am unable to make purchases with my new Mac in iTunes Store.
    I can buy with  my iPhone or my company lap-top (Windows) without any problems. Only with my brand new MacBook Pro it is impossible.
    When I try to authorize my Mac, sure dialog window appears and I give my ID and password. Then I get error message: "There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer. The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed." The same message I get, when I try to deauthorize.
    If I try to buy anything (pushing button "Buy"), then I get following error message:
    "iTunes couldn`t download your purchase. You don`t have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store--Check for available downloads".
    But I have such a permission!!! I can see it!!!
    I have even made so, that "everyone" and "staff" also  have permission "read and write" in folder iTunes and all subfolders.! :))
    When I ask for "available downloads" immediately I get the same answer: " iTunes couldn`t download your purchase. You don`t have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store--Check for available downloads"
    I have done:
    1. I have used the Terminal to correct the permissions (in Finder it looked correct anyway).                    -          NO Result.
    2. With Disk Utility I have verified and repaired Disk permissions. (There were approx. 10-12 incorrect values and 3 of them  concerned iTunes and other - Jawa ).           -           NO Result.
    3. I have moved all iTunes files in Thrash and installed iTunes again (previously downloaded from App Store ).                    -          No Result.
    4. I have verified Disk permissions with Disk Utility again. There was nothing wrong, but in spite of this I have pushed the button "Repair Disc Permissions".          -          NO Result.
    5. New installation of iTunes again.           -          No Result.
    Can it be, that the reason of a problem are not correct transferred data from my old MacBook?

    with my new Mac
    You have a warranty.  Take advantage of it!  Call tech support or call the iTunes store.

  • New Local Move Request - Error: MapiExceptionLogonFailed: Unable to make connection to the server.

    I am in the process of doing a migration from SBS 2003 std. edition to SBS 2011 std. I am at the point the migrating mailboxes from the Exch 03 server to the Exch 2010 server.  I initially received an error when selecting mailboxes that the mailbox
    db on the Exch03 server did not exist.  I followed the resolution steps from another forum post to add the Exch 2010 server to the "first administrative group" via the security tab and give full permissions.  This solved that issue and

    I installed the new google maps app and I am unable to make it work because it says, cannot reach server. I have a iphone 4 with 6.0.1 up to date. Please advise where I can locate to check if my location is turned on.

    i found a solution for this issue when google maps shows you an empty map error message cannot reach server. Click on  the icon next to search and you are supposed to be presented with your profile, if not u will have an empty space. click on that space, then the "gear " Icon and logout.
    restart your iphone then strat google maps again and log back in.
    apparently this is happening when you change your google acount password or enble or disable 2 step verification.

    Siri used to work fine when making mobile calls in Ecuador until yesterday, when the administration of Ecuador added an aditional number in all mobile numbers existing in Ecuador. Since then Siri is unable to make any mobile calls with any new number.Help
    I`ve tried restarting, rebooting, nothing works.
    The interesting thing is that SIRI can call to previous mobile numbers (without the new digit) obviously not connecting , and, can call to any other numbers as an office or home number. So the problem is the new digit in the mobile number

    Ecuador has added an extra digit to mobile phone numbers but apple wont accept 10 digit phone numbers so we cant use facetime or apple IM or verify our new phone numbers. ( and Siri won't work either!) I have contacted apple support online but can't request a call back as the apple system says our new phone numbers are invalid. I am going to phone them tomorrow and you should complain too at http://www.apple.com/support/contact/.  . The more people that bring this to their attention the faster it will get fixed

    Does anyone know how to solve this tiresome problem, please!?? The update is downloaded upto 723.5MB, and is required upto 723,6MB, then the error message pops out! Tnx.

    I have a quick wifi connection (Mac shows it as about 35 megabits) but I couldn't get the 5.0.1 OTA to work, I had to do it via cable to my computer's iTunes - and as I was already on iOS 5 it was only a small download, basically the same size as the OTA size.
    As the original poster is talking about a 730 meg download then I assume that they are still on iOS 4.3.5 or below and can therefore only download via their computer's iTunes - you need to be on iOS 5+ before you get the OTA option.

    Hi,
    This is may be issue in RFC user. Check configuration from SM59. Here you will get the RFC user name. If this is not user specific, then you can check if the same problem coming other user. If yes then RFC user's password need to be reset and you need to config the same through sm59.

  • New Subscription, BUT unable to make OUTBOUND CALL...

    Hello, I'm unable to make outbound calls because my skype credit was low. I went ahead and purchased a WORLD subscription and still unable to make outbound calls. Please help or FIX!
    What would it take for an ADMIN SUPPORT person from SKYPE to post to my entry. It's simple, I purchased a WORLD subscription when I ran out of skype credits. Now, after the subscription has been purchased and delivered to my account. I can't call a local UK land-line or toll-free line still. PLEASE HELP?

    Hi,
    Calls to UK shared cost numbers are not covered by subscriptions. Since shared cost / premium numbers have much higher rate you will need Skype Credit.
    Calls will be charged based on these rates: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/prices/payg-rates/
