Why would adjustment layers stop working?

I was retouching a painting earlier and i could not get every detail because my adjustment layers stopped allowing me to paint on the mask. I spent about 1hr trying to figure it out. I never did.
I switched from ps v13 and v12 and niether would allow me to paint on the mask. All of the correction i did were on adjustment layers. I would add an adjustment layer and tweak it then invert the mask and then paint with the brush. Then i wouyld merge layers. After about 4 merges it stop allowing the painting on the mask.
What could make this happen?

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
Just to make sure: What are the settings for the Brush you use (opacity, blend mode, …)?

  • Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

    Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

    That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

  • Speed adjustment has stopped working

    iMovie 10.0.4; OS 10.9.4.
    I am three quarters of the way through a 45-minute project, and the speed adjustment has stopped working. The hare icon is greyed out. I have used the adjustment successfully on two or three clips in the project, both for speed adjustment and clip reversal, and these adjustments are still effective, though the SpeedBar and hare symbol have vanished from their thumbnails.I have tried a number of things, but to no avail:
    Creating a new project based on a different event. Speed adjustment does not work for that either.
    Creating a project in iMovie on a different user account. That does work.
    Reverting temporarily to iMovie 10.0 .3. Didn't work.
    Repairing permissions and restarting. Didn't work.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I haven't really done any cleanup or anything for that matter simply because I can't figure anything out. When it comes to track down and remove the user.js file, I can't find it at all. I even followed all the instructions to get to the profile page that it would be one. I am not trying to get speed dial as a home page, I want it to be there when I open up a new tab. On the whole speed dial options, it is selected as a new tab however this flippin search page conduit.com is there. I have even set the speed dial to open up in a new window, and that did not work. I don't know what to do. I feel for whatever reason my Firefox is not installed properly. When I installed it, the so called firefox button at the top was never there. When an online instructions shows me pictures, I have something completely different and have to spend time figureing out where this whatever is. If resetting firefox will fix the issue, even if I have to re install Speed dial and reset it all, I am totally game for that. Nothing else has worked and I am getting very frustrated by it.

  • Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.

    Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.

    Try expanding your question a little bit.... how is it not working? Just saying it "stopped working" isn't really saying much.
    Like does it work sometimes and it intermittendly stops? Is the light on the power button not on?
    Does it sometimes not click things? (always remember the actual trackpad buttons are actually on the buttom of the trackpad so you have to give a decent click on the pad to make it work)
