Why am i getting a "prohibited" symbol when trying to use a brush to paint on an inverted mask?

I am using CS6 and I crated a layer mask to paint on with a scatter brush but for some odd reason I am getting a prohibited symbol whenever I hover the brush onto the canvas making it so I cannot paint! How would I fix this? None of my layer are locked either and I have already tried resetting the brush tool as well.

lol yes that fixed it thank you very much. I feel dumb that I didnt even think about something that easy right in front of me haha. Thanks a ton.

    Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a Pages template?

    You are getting an error message because there is an error.
    Knowing wht version of Pages you are using, what template you are attempting to open, and what error message Pages is sending you might help determine why you are getting that specific rror message. Without those, the first sentence above i pretty much all that can be said with any assurance.

  • Why am i getting error code 1001 when trying to use MyVerizon or Verizon Tones apps?

    I got the phone new this morning, updated Verizon Tones right away and tried to open it, error code 1001.  It just keeps trying to loop through and brings me back the error code every time.  I have tried to troubleshoot the problem myself, no luck, it is doing it in Safe Mode and whether I update Verizon Tones or not.

  • Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?

    I went through the forums and made sure that any blocks or copywrites weren't triggered by the file, it's clean and can be opened using a media player and other video editing software like windows MovieMaker. I keep getting "The importer reported a generic error" message and have no idea how to proceed. Can someone please help?

    Re: Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv  file?
    This ARTICLE starts with a checklist on setting up a computer to run PrE best, then goes into a series of links for tuning up one's computer and OS, and then links on troubleshooting.
    There is also a link on posting all necessary info, to help others help you.
    Without knowing much more about your system, it is impossible to say much beyond that WMV's are tough assests to work with, requiring a lot of CPU horsepower.
    Good luck,

    Based on the version number, you seeking to upgrade Safari?
    What OS X version?
    How are you upgraded or downloading the software?   (Directly downloaded, or via Software Update?)
    Have you tried quitting all applications, and then performing the Software Update?   (Discussion per this thread — but that thread is for iTunes, and I'm guessing you're looking at Safari here?)  If that doesn't work, I'd keep everything quit, reboot, and try again.

  • After downloading Mtn Lion, I get an error msg when trying to use a link in mail.  Says no associated application can be found.  Any suggestions?

    After downloading mountain lion, I get an error message when trying to use a link in mail.  One mail account on the same computer is fine, but not the other one.  Any suggestions?

    I went to the Apple Genius Bar for help.  Somehow when I downloaded Mountain Lion one of the mail accounts on the computer changed from an IMAP account to a POP account.  The POP account doesn't enable the links in email.  It was a quick fix.  Just go to prefrences in your mail account and change it to an IMAP account.  Hope this works for you as it did for me.

  • I get a 'prohibited symbol' when I try to startup my iMac, can't access computer. How to proceed?

    Hey guys,
    So my iMac has had its first real problem since I bought it in 2010.
    Yesterday I was browsing the internet on my iMac via tethering from my smart phone (Samsung galaxy ace, on vodafone, if that means anything) when suddenly it froze and I got the colourful spinning loading wheel and couldn't click on anything. This went on for long enough that I lost patience and turned off the Mac (by holding the power button) with the intention to start fresh. Nope, now I can't access my desktop anymore. Now, whenever I turn my Mac on it I see the grey screen with apple logo with the spinning loading thing under it, this lasts about 30 seconds and then it shows me a 'prohibited symbol' (i.e. A circle with a stroke in it). I then have to turn the computer off, and this repeats when I try startup again.
    Now, after some googling a found that this is probably a "kernel panic". But the problem is that none of the solutions I've read seem to work.
    - I tried booting in safe mode by holding shift but it didn't seem to activate it..? (and I know its not a problem with the keyboard because I tried starting up and holding alt and that worked)
    - I also tried booting from my installs disc but that didn't work either, it just loads for a while then it gives me the prohibited symbol again.
    - I also know its probably not a problem with my hardware because everything is unplugged except my USB mouse.
    Some other facts:
    - I'm running Mac osx 10.6.2 (its all I've ever run, never updated)
    - strangely, the windows partition of my hard drive works fine. I just hold alt and then can still access windows. But then as soon as I try to tether the internet from my phone again, it works for about 2 minutes and then I get a quick bleu screen and the comp restarts, which makes me think this kernel panic was induced by furthering my internet.
    - On one of my startups yesterday I got a flashing folder icon with a question mark on it, all the other times its been the prohibited symbol.
    I have a time machine hard drive that I can resort to if worse comes to worse, but the last time I backed up was about 2 months ago, which means id lose my creative work from the past 2 months (im a musician and ive been working on an album), which is obviously not preferable.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Please let me know id you need anymore info.
    Cheers,
    Nic

    @sanjampet: I have already read the link you provided and none of the solutions work, which is why I posted here.
    Safe mode just doesn't activate. I hold shift for as long as possible until eventually I get the prohibited symbol. When I hold shift I see the apple logo and loading icon and then eventually prohibited symbol, its as if I wasn't holding shift at all, which makes me wonder if the shortcut is even correct? And I know its not a problem with my keyboard or my timing of pushing shift because holding alt/option works as usual.
    Holding C to load from the installs disc doesn't work either, which eliminates all the solutions based on that. Its the same as safe mode - I hold the button until I eventually get prohibited symbol.
    I also tried selecting my Mac hd via holding alt key - same result: prohibited symbol.
    I also tried selecting my installs disc via holding alt key and a strange thing happens: I see the apple logo and loading wheel but this time it is stuck on the apple logo and loading spin thing for about 20 minutes while there is lots of noise and activity coming from the CD drive..
    I also tried resetting the NVRAM/PRAM, which DID seem to have an affect (screen was brighter + startup sound was louder) but I still see the prohibited symbol like all the other times.
    I'm yet to be able to get past the prohibited symbol, the only way around it so far is to load the windows partition if my HD.

  • I have Mac OSX 10.5.8 and get java "error" message when trying to use research tool on Morningstar Java referred me to Apple but they had no update.Any ideas? thanks.e

    I have a imac OSX 10.5.8 and get a java "error" message when trying to use a research tool on Morningstar.Java referred me to Apple but they had no updates. Any ideas? thanks.

    Well I solved my problem.
    What still doesn't make sense though is that dragging iTune audio files directly on to the iTunes application icon gave me the error message... which is why I originally discounted it as being a potential link problem. If I had been able to get files to open normally (i.e. without an error message) I would have known it was a simple link problem. Strange.
    Anyway... relinking my folder of audio files did the trick.
    If you don't already know how here are the steps...
    iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click on the "Change" button and browse to the folder that contains all of your iTunes audio files... that's it.

  • Why do I get an error message when trying to Extrude and Bevel my image?

    I am making a logo for a friend and he wants something similar to the Stark House symbol. (The Direwolf) but as a dragon instead. I used the pen tool to make the shape, and now I want to fill it in and make it more 3D. I can't fill it in properly and my image gets an error message when I try to Extrude and Bevel. Why is this?

    error message,
    Is the path/shape closed?
    Selecting it and Ctrl/Cmd+J should close it if not, then you may try again.
    You may also have a look in the Document Infor palette with Objects ticked in the flyout and the path selected.
