  Hello I am a student and I have a problem with the tool Selection (V). When I opened the file AI CC with CS6 selection tool doesn't allow me to change the selection. What can I do? (I have reinstall AI CC and the problem persists)

  Ivan,

  If it's on the rectangular objects, you may have encountered the bug Rectangle Live which is limited to the MAC versions from 10.7 and 10.8, but not of 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). If all goes well, the bug will be fixed soon.

  Thus, a switch for the Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstall might be the way to solve it here and now.

  To get around it, in each case, it is possible to develop direct Rectangles to get the normal old shaped rectangles or Pathfinder > unit, or use the scale tool or the free transform tool.

  A more permanent way round that is to create normal old shaped rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

• Need help with the Selection tool

  Hi all

  I have a few strange occurrences (for me) while using the 'quick selection'...

  Explanation

  I'm using PS 11 items on a PC Win 7 (64).

  What I want to do is to create a new pic from an existing photo.  Background of the existing of the captain not suitable for what I want.  But the FG is what I need.  I thought that by selecting the FG object and to be placed in a new pic would be what I need using the <Quick Selection tool>.

  To do this, I try to use the <Quick Selection tool>.  I had degrees of success using it.  I do not understand one main thing & pretty much makes my useless project & voidable, is the fact that when I use <Refine Edge> so that I can refine my selection of edge, my pic is lost immediately or removed.  Since I have no idea what is going on, I am obliged to close the peak (without saving the changes, of course) and then re-opening the pic.  All is well until I click the button <Refine Edge> once again, then, my pic disappears AGAIN!

  My guess is that maybe the captain doesn't turn somehow a layer or something.  But, how can I disable this behavior and make not my pic disappear?

  There are a few more details on this selection tool <>I'm muddy on.  Is there something where I can read more on its use?  I would like to learn more, but how?  Where?

  I now read the manual part online on the selection tools.  Although he enlighten us, I need more.

  I'm not a constant user of the PSE, instead, I use it only on occasions.  Normally, I use its scanning functions.  I can play with some other features, but I also know that the PSE offers many other powerful features, I use rarely, if ever.

  To do this, I am using the Quick Selection tool>.  I had degrees of success using it.  A main thing, I understand & pretty much makes my project useless & voidable, lies in the fact that whenever I use Refine Edge> so that I can refine my selection of edge, my pic is immediately lost or kidnapped.  Since I have no idea what is going on, I am obliged to close the picture (without saving the changes, of course) & then reopening the pic.  Everything is fine until I click on Refine Edge> new button, then, my pic disappears AGAIN!

  Try to reset the tool. To do this, look for a box with lines inside on the tool, and then reset options bar.

  If that fixed it, reset the preferences. To do this, go in Edition > Preferences > General, click Reset preferences on the next launch.

• Problems with the "Select tool?"

  Because I have updated the latest version of Adobe Illustrator on cc, the "Select" tool does not correctly. It does not scale the rectangle shapes (made by the tool 'Form') using the "select" tool (all other forms work fine). I tried to contact customer service at this topic and it seems that it is a software update. I asked an ETA, but was initially ignored, and the 2nd time said they could not provide me with this information yet, only that he had been sent to the engineering team. I have projects and patterns to talk of the possibility of those not being not on the time and all I was asking for a was an estimated time that the glitch would be fixed and then nothing more said, I booted from the live chat. At this point, I am furious because I tried to be patient ALL day with the customer service team and that's how I'm treated... All I want is a time on how long it usually takes to update glitches can be solved. Even if it takes a month, it would be nice to be able to provide this information to my people.

  Zewster,

  It seems that the problem is a bug that is limited to only one of the MAC versions starting from 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks), see this thread linked below.

• Why my cursor does not change when I click on the selection tool?

  When I open any file, the object - in this case, an image - is already selected.

  
  

  I want to enlarge the image, so I click the buttons to do that. Normally, I would choose 125% or 150%, but menu drop-down does not open. I tried clicking on the arrow up/down of the arrow buttons. Nothing happened. I tried a double-tap on the numbers to enter a percentage; small blue horizontal bars appear on either side of the default value '100' as if the machine tries to highlight the number, but can't.

  
  

  I click on the text tool, get the I-beam and can click in a text box.
  

  
  

  After all this, I click on the selection tool. Nothing happens. My cursor is an i-beam. I can't change it to something else.

  
  

  I have installed and uninstalled InDesign several times to correct this and related problems.

  1. Installed since the problem of media - original - met - uninstalled and reinstalled disks - unresolved problem.
  2. Installation files downloaded from Adobe. Same result.
  3. Uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign only. Still no go.
  4. Updates computer back to factory settings, created Office for CS4 installation, point installed CS4 from there. Still no go.

  
  

  Is it possible that there is some sort of incompatibility between CS4 and my computer? It's a new laptop Acer Travelmate (a week). Obtained from TigerDirect, a trustworthy trader.

  
  

  My OS is Windows 7, but this should not be a problem; CS4 works fine with Windows 7 on another computer in my house (which, unfortunately, is busy most of the time, or I would use only).

  
  

  Any ideas at all?

  
  

  Help, please. I have a deadline for the upcoming project and really need this computer to work.

  
  

  Thank you thank you thank you.
  

  Set your font size in the o/s to 100% or to disable the aero theme.

• When I use the selection tool to move vector points and fold the edges, I see that the change in metal frame.

  When I use the selection tool to move vector points and fold the edges, I see that the change in metal frame.  Once I commit by letting go of the mouse button, the object changes.  It presents a preview just with a wire frame. I would like to see the preview to change on the solid object.  Is there a setting somewhere?

  I really hope I'm explaining this to people to understand .

  Thank you

  Hi Ed,

  You use a previous version of Flash Pro that displays this behavior.

  Live the overview of forms while editing got added in Flash Pro CC (and above). You can try the latest version of Flash Pro (CC 2014) see how it works.

• Moved from VM with Snap Shots, doesn't start: cannot change the power state of VM: internal error

  Hello

  Last week, I decided to move from a Windows host based Linux system. So I went through my VMs their power off and copied to another drive. I then installed 7 Centos and reinstalled VMWare Workstation 12 re-imported the virtual machine in VMWare and I tried to start.

  I received the following message...

  "Cannot change the power state of VM: internal error.

  Suspicious, I looked at the folder that contains the machine virtual and noticed it contained snapshots. DOH!

  I guess it is pretty bad, not sure where to start?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  James

  I copied VM, with and without clichés, without problems. Have a few running on OSX Fusion so

  The first thing I would check would be for folders and .lck files. If so, remove them.
