Why Can't I open the layer panel?

I installed the new trial version of PSE11 and for some reason the layer panel does not show up automatically and when I try to open it under the windows menu the layers part is greyed out.  The entire layers dropdown menu is also entirely grey.  Please help!

You need to be in Expert mode. Just click the expert button at the top of the window, and you'll not only be able to use the menu command, but will have a dedicated layers panel button at the bottom right of the main PSE window.

  • Why can't I open the create panel in Elements 10 editor?

    When I click on the create  and the share heading I only get a black panel.  Has anyone else had this problem?  What is the solution?  I haven't used either before; but, when I clicked on them the panel was there to choose.

    Try this:
    1) Update flash player on your machine from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    2) If problem still remains - The problem you are facing is probably because of corrupted swf files in your machine. But before advising for reinstallation, can you please share your Operating system information and also if you can see the following folders and files in your machine:
    Win: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Locale\en_us\Workflow Panels\Create\CreateAir.swf
    Mac: /Application Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/11.0/Locale/en_us/Workflow Panels/Create/CreateAir.swf
    If not then these must have got deleted accidently. In this case you need to reinstall the application.

  • Why does object selection open the layer?

    i have searched the help file to no avail. if i don't select-and-hold and move an object immediately i have to wait a second or two or the layer containing this object will open up and the frame appears around the object (indicating the layer is open like a folder?)
    Have i accidently toggled something that is causing this behavior?
    thanks

    It's called "Isolation Mode". You can read about it in Help. It allows you to work in a group without affecting the rest of the illustration. It is especially useful for editing symbols.

  • Why can't I access the control panel of my E1000 router?

    http://192.168.1.1/ cannot be displayed when I click on it, as if the page does not exist. http://my.E1000 doesn't work either.
    My router frequently has connection issues as well when laptop users are complaining that they are "connected but have limited connectivity". In reality they have no connectivity. They have no internet access on their browsers or games. Resetting it seems to be the only thing that ever fixes this and now, despite my network supposedly being called "Neil," it's calling its self "Neil 2" and has no password. I can't change it back because I cannot get into my router's settings either!
    So yea. In a few words, it's all kind of bork. Does anyone know what is wrong with it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    What is the ip address you are getting on the computer which is connected to the router....?
    Check the ip address.If you are getting the correct ip address(192.168.1.1) then,reset the browser settings and try again to open the setup page.If that also does not work then,reset the router for 45-50 seconds,power cycle the router and check.

  • Why can't I lock the control panel on M602's via webjetadmin 10.1?

     1. Product Name and Number
    HPM602
    HP webjetadmin 10.1
    Hi,
    we administer a fleet onf HP printers mainly 4015s and 4250s, we are able toautomate lockin of these devices through the control panel on these using webjetadmin 10.1 however since we have put our fleet of M602's in we are unable to lock these via Jetadmin, we can via the web interface but we automate it 4 times a day in case students do a cold reset and attempt to print via IP.
    Obviously that is a problem.
    Any help appreciated.

    HI Pete,
    Your query is probably better suited to the HP  Enterprise Community  forum.
    The M602 is not a consumer device. IT is marketed as a solution for medium to large workgroups..

  • Why can I only open the ringtone editor once per song?

    I thought the free song of the week (Carol of the Bells) had a section that would make a good ringtone. I opened the ringtone editor to see how it worked and whether I could pick out the section I wanted. I then cancelled out of the ringtone editor since I don't even have an iPhone yet and it struck me as premature to actually buy a ringtone I can't use. Now the ringtone symbol is gone from that song. What gives?

    A few things:
    1. If there are different versions of the song in your library or in iTunes, some are supported for ringtones, and others are not - I know that sounds silly but it's true... it will be available on one album but not another.
    2. Sometimes there are glitches with the ringtone icon. They are still, and constantly, rolling out new ringtones. Sometimes the icon comes and goes.
    The best, and only, confirmed way to see if a ringtone is available is to right click a song and select "create ringtone". Some songs, even without a bell, will be supported.

  • Why can't I open the trials?

    I installed the trials of illustrator, photoshop and indesign through creative cloud but whenever I click them the send me to the website where there is a link that I can click which in its turn sends me back to where I started. SO how do I open the programs to start working? I can't find them on the computer either.

    Hi,
    Please click on Utilities and go to Adobe Installers and if the above mentioned Products shows up then uninstall it. Once done please restart Mac and try reinstalling the applications.
    Please let me know if it helps.

  • Why can't i open the version of pages

    i download the new os update for mac but i cant open the new version of pages.

    I am with Peter on this issue. Additionally, if you installed the latest IOS Pages (v2.01) on an iPhone or iPad and opened a .pages file on iCloud that was created by Pages ’09 v4.n, or IOS Pages v1.7.n — that document is now in the new .pages file format and only Pages v5 on OS X can open it.

  • HT3775 why can i not open the file format MPEG_4(mp4) on my mac with Quick player?

    i can not open the email with file format MPEG_4(mp4) which is one of the contents on the file format listing , supporting by Quick time player but still can not be opened . !!!!!!!!! by the way my quick time player version:10.2(603.6)

    The file extension, .mp4, .wmv, .mov, etc. really has no bearing on whether it can play or not. It should, but that is not the way it works. The file type is merely a wrapper around the media content. That media content can be encoded with lots of different encoding algorithms. If it is encoded with a scheme that Quicktime doesn't understand, then it won't play in Quicktime Player.
    You might try installing the Perian plugin for Quicktime. It might have the codecs necessary to decode the media content.
    Another option is to use Video LAN's VLC. It plays a lot of things.
