Why am I unable to select layers within the layout window - PSE13

I am working on a project in expert mode. It has several layers. Randomly, I am now unable to select any of the layers within the layout window. I have tried to drag or click on or over an element and nothing happens, it keeps selecting the same element unless I select it from the layers utility on the right hand side. I have tried this with a mouse and a Wacom tablet, same result.

Fixed by running updates, resetting preferences and rebooting. Phew!

    Another option is to temporarily change your view to outline mode, when your done switch back to preview mode. Ctrl-Y or View>Outline {View>Preview} The menu option will change depending on which mode you are in.
    And another option, double click on the object in question to place it in Isolation mode. You can now edit to your hearts content. When done, click on the gray border at top of document.
    So as you can see there are multiple ways of accomplishing the same thing.

  • Unable to select IS from the drop down list in message mapping

    Hi,
    i  know that we can monitor 'Integration server' in message monitoring rather than choosing integration engine or adapter engine.
    But in our existing land scapes i am unable to select IS from the drop down list in message mapping.
    using PI 7.1 SP 08.
    please let me know that we need to set up additional configurations settings to select IS form drop down list.
    Regards,
    Pradeep A.

    Hi Pradeep,
    please let me know that we need to set up additional configurations settings to select IS form drop down list.
    There are no extra settings that needs to be done for this. I don't know whether you have noticed this, but IS option will only come up when you want to monitor the messages from the "Database" and not from the "Database overview" or "Archive".

  • Tip of the Day : Search within the log window

    hi
    Recently my JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.0.1) showed me a Tip of the Day about "Search within the log window", as shown in tip-of-the-day-search-log-window.png.
    It read : "You can search within any of the contents of log windows. Click within the text of the window and click Ctrl+F. A search window appears so that you can enter your search criteria."
    The tip also shows an image of a "Messages - Log" panel with a transparent "Search Messages Log" dialog on top.
    If I try this on the "Messages - Log" panel, I get the transparent dialog. But if I try this on the "Running: DefaultServer - Log", I don't get the transparent dialog (although search seams to be possible if I just start typing after pressing Ctrl+F).
    Not very consistent, or what exactly is the intended behaviour here?
    many thanks
    Jan Vervecken

    fyi
    This seems to have improved in JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 (see also log-search2-select.png in the context of forum thread "11.1.1.2.0 : log search : no match found").

  • Why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows with iTunes 10.5.1?

    why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows since iTunes 10.5.1?

    Assuming Apple doesn't eviscerate the files of the secondary graphics with another upgrade, there could be a plug in that reads the graphic and runs along side iTunes..we should get someone or Apple to program an alternative If we have to accept this downgrade in iTunes proper.
    I've developed a quick workaround, and am still hoping Apple will fix this!
    Go To Get Info on the tune you want to see secondary artwork for.
    Go To the Artwork tab
    Drag the back cover to the desktop, and it will create a new jpg you can open with quick viw or prieview where you can see it large!
    you end up with a lot of jpgs on the desktop to discard!

  • How do I make my page links open up within the same window?

    I am completely stumped. By default for some reason, every single link I have on all my pages opens up in an external window rather than within the same window. I can't find anywhere to turn this off. I have my hyperlinks open to my other pages not an external page. Please help!

    Are these text based hyperlinks that you created?  If so then go to the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane and make sure the checkbox to Open link in new window is unchecked.

    What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?

  • I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

    I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

    Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
    Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

  • Why am I unable to select within the URL bar of a new tab after opening a .pdf file in Firefox 4?

    To repeat the problem:
    1.) Open a .pdf file in Firefox 4
    2.) Open a new tab by using the (+) tab button
    3.) Try to select within the URL bar (unsuccessful)
    I cannot seem to direct my browser to a new website in a new tab after viewing a .pdf file within the browser.

    Restore your default toolbar by going to Customize - Restore Default Set. I just found it out myself.

  • Why am i unable to select text on certain websites?

    I am unable to select text and copy it on this website- http://www.meritnation.com/ after logging in. I have tried all the possible methods I knew but all went in vain. Also the right-click menu that usually appears on other websites is different. please help me solve this problem.

    Some web sites shut off the right click options. Have you tried <Cntl> V ?

    Stops javascript annoyances such as forbidden right click,
    forbidden text selection or cascading dialog boxes.

  • Why am I unable to select the boolean indicators on my front panel?

    Hello all,
    This has to be an easy one for you guys, but here goes...
    I created a front panel with approximately 20 boolean indicators on it (LEDs). I realized that I only had 10 functional, so I made the others 'greyed out and disabled'. Well, now the ones I disabled are functional again, so I want to enable them. Problem is, when I go to the diagram and select 'show indicator' it is still grayed out. I cannot click on the indicator on the front panel to 'enable' the indicators. I cannot select them at all.
    I've tried creating property nodes and enabling them that way. They are no longer grayed out when I do this, but I still cannot click on them to move them about the front panel.
    All
    I want to do is select them so I can rearrange the way they look on the panel, but I cannot click on them.
    And, yes, I've had my tool palete on both 'Automatic Tool Selection' and 'Position/Size/Select'. It is also interesting that I can select and move the indicators which I never disabled in the first place.
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks in advance,

    What happens if you go to the diagram and double click on the control? It
    should take you to the front panel and highlight/select the control.

  • Suddenly I can not select anything within the top inch or so of any web page. The scroll bar arrow doesn't work at the top. I don't know what to do. I tried updating my browser but the problem still exists.

    Everything worked fine on Tues. I shut down my system and then on Wed. morning, the problem appeared. Anything within the top inch or so of a webpage is unavailable to select. It is like there is an inch of the page that is dead. It is that way on every website that I visit with Firefox. It does not happen if I use internet explorer, which I do not like and do not want to have to go back to using. Please help!!! My sister in law has the same problem with firefox.

  • Selecting things within the locator

    Hi,  Does anyone know how to select a whole piece of music within the locator, to do things like cut/ delte or just to move.  It is so hard when you have a big song. 
          I already know how to select and copy and repeat a whole section within the locator (control-command-r).
        Thanks everyone.
    Lou.

    HI,
    If by "the whole pieice of music" If you mean that you need to select all the regions on all of your tracks, for a particular musical passage ?
    Then there is a way you could do that...
    1.) Go to the top right corner of your arrange area and click on the disclosure triangle...
    2.) Now select "marquee Strip" from the drop-down list...
    3.) By selecting this option you'll find a new "marquee strip lane" gets added right above your bar ruler.
    4.) Now just try to click and drag on that marquee strip lane between the desired location
    Now You'll notice that, It makes a marquee selection on all of the region which comes under that...
    [P.S. I will upload a picture for dis step in next reply as its not letting me add any more pictures here...]
    5.) Now, you can Copy, Delete/Cut or Simply click and drag the whole selection to anywhere in your arrange area or even copy it by holding option clicking and dragging to a new location in arrange.
    Hope this one helps...:)
    Further you could also Check out Arrange Area Local Menu>> Edit>> Cut/InsertTime>>
    You'll find really cool editing functions...
