What can I do to get my slice action to work. "the command "select" is not currently available"

"the command "select" is not currently available"...well it should be. I just used to two seconds ago. 
I routinely can not perform most actions because some function is not available. If I open an image, and record a simple "divide slice" action, the action can not repeat it, even on the same image. What am I missing? it seems so trivial, but I can't get past it.
photoshop CS6 extended.

Photoshop has may select commands please post the action and a screen capture of the error showing photoshop window containing the image window and photoshops paletts  with the action expanded in the action panel showing.

  • I can't open some photoshop files it says "The command "Set" is not currently available."

    What does this mean and how can I fix it? A corworker will make a photoshop file (Poster for example) and when i try to open it on my computer it wont open and says "The command “Set” is not currently available." What does this mean and how can I fix it? Thanks!

    You are running some sort of automation when you open files - because that error message comes from automation (actions, scripts or plugins) that are trying to target something that isn't there.
    Event Scripts was the obvious choice.
    Automation plugins, or Flash Panels are the next most obvious -- try disabling all third party plugins and Flash Panels.
    The error might come from Generator, if you have the latest Photoshop CC.

  • I had to buy a new computer and now can't get my CS3 with CS5 upgrade to work on windows 8.1. What can I do to get them to load and work?

    I can load CS3, but it won't let me register it and I can load CS5 upgrade, but when I open CS5 it shows fault and closes. What can I do to get these programs to work on my new computer?

    Registration has always been optional, so there is no point in trying. Those pages on the Adobe site are long gone. CS5 crashing is another matter, but without some crash logs and more detailed system information nobody can realyl know. This could be a mundane permissions issue on some files, could be a crash with the hardware acceleration stuff but just the same could be the activation system failing. Impossible to tell based on your limited information.

  • What can I do to get Adobe Flash Player to work?

    Adobe Flash Player repeatedly crashes. I've tried installing it multiple times, both from Firefox and directly from Adobe with no success. I get the message also that Shock Player has crashed.
    Any suggestions as to how to fix this, please?
    Thank you,

    Your More System Details doesn't show "Shockwave Flash" which could indicate that it is set to "Never Activate" (such plugins are invisible to websites).
    This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
    (1) If you have any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.
    (2) Disable hardware acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    That takes effect the next time you exit and start Firefox up again.
    (B) In Flash, right-click the media and choose Settings, then the first mini-tab and uncheck the box to use hardware acceleration. More information in this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    (3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista and higher)
    The protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. You can disable it by creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different approaches for that:
    * Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    * Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078 (alternate version of Carm's batch file with a few changes by me: [https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=f7d304d92388737d&id=F7D304D92388737D!336&ithint=file,.bat&authkey=!AP2FXW2Y_3BXZyo])
    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.
    Any improvement?

  • What can I do to get my touch screen to work

    My iPod touch will turn on but I can not get any further than that.  I tried restarting/rebooting but it doesn't respond.  Is there anything I can do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • What can I do to get Find my Mac to Work?

    Find my iPhone works fine. I've scoured the internets, and I keep coming up with nothing! So frustrated! Find my Mac in the prefs menu is telling me that everything is working. What should I do? I downloaded Lion and set up my iCloud account. Am I missing something?

    The backup for each iOS device is created and stored separately.
    When restoring an iPhone with iTunes when there is more than one backup available, you can select the backup you want to restore the iPhone with. Restore the iPhone with iTunes again and this time select the correct iPhone backup when prompted.

  • What can i do to get my ipod to update? Says that there is not enough space to download these items. Please delete some photos or videos. There are none on it.

    Help please!

    Accidentally hit "helpful answer" on my own post, how do you undo?!
    Anyways, I cleared more space by simply deleting videos on my iPhone.
    It appears that there are definitely cases where the iPhone requires MORE than 2x the amount of space the app takes up in order to install the app.
    It would be useful if Apple could make this requirement a bit clearer.

    I am getting the identical error message for an HP Officejet 7200 series printer.
    First there is a message that software is available from Apple.  You click to get it.  Then it tells you that it is not currently available from the software update server.
    I am running OS 10.8.2.  Printer is on my home network (not USB).
    I went to the Apple Software Dowload site and re-downloaded the latest "HewlettPackard Printer Drivers" (v.2.12) and installed them (twice).  No dice.
    Anybody found a way around this problem?
    I solved all print related issues by avoiding HP, worst software I ever saw, this may not work for you though.

  • OS Mavericks - Boot Camp Assistant can not download windows support software because it is "not currently available from the Software Update server."

    When trying in install windows 7 on my mac, the Boot Camp Assistant attempts to fownload windows support software.  However, the program continues to return the following error: the windows support software "not currently available from the Software Update server." 
    Is there another way to get this software? 

    64 bit.  I found the support drivers and got the windows installation done.  When trying to run the 64 bit support drivers in Windows 7, it says my computer doesn't support 64 bit.  Sooooo.....
    I'm assuming I have to download the 32 bit support drivers for Windows 7.
    Correct?

  • HT4915 When i did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs.  I have gone into my library and deleted the duplicates, but they still show up on my iphone as duplicates.  What can i do to get rid of them?

    When I did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs in my library.  I have gone back into my library from my computer, and deleted the duplicates.  When I did so, itunes did not ask me if I wanted to delete them from the cloud.  They are still showing up on my iphone as duplicates in the cloud.  What can I do to get them from showing up in my iphone?

    They are not on the iphone in the first place.  It is just a setting that allows you to see the songs that are available in icloud, but not on your iphone.  If you turn the setting to off, then you no longer see the songs that are in icloud, but NOT on your iphone.

  • I have a macbook pro 5,3 white I am trying to hook up to a samsung hdtv.  I have used a mini dv to hdmi adapter but I get no sound on my tv.  What can I do to get sound?

    I have a macbook pro 5,3 white I am trying to hook up to a samsung hdtv.  I have used a mini dv to hdmi adapter but I get no sound on my tv.  What can I do to get sound?

    The Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI adaptor will only pass video in most cases. You will need to run a separate audio cable along with it. Likely a 3.5mm (male-to-male) cable. Or a 3.5mm (male) to red/white RCA (male) cable. Just depends on what audio input ports your TV has dedicated to the HDMI input.

  • Hi i am trying to install windows to my macbook through boot camp and i get this message Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.!!!what can i do???please help me!

    Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. this is the message that i get a few days now that i am trying to install windows through boot camp to my macbook!does anybody knows what i can do????

    You keep it on the usb stick for after you boot into Windows. From Windows you install the Windows Support software on the stick. Do you realize that you need to buy and install Windows? The Windows Support software you downloaded is only the Windows drivers for your hardware.
    Read the Boot Camp installation instructions and help guides located here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

    Your contacts are helpd on the server, so if you sign out from your iCloud account and sign into another one they will disappear. If you sign back into the original account they will reappear.

  • My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
    In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
    Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

  • I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

    I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

    All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
    Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
