Cannot select different tools or double-click on master pages in InDesign.

I use Adobe Design Standard CS5.5. Recently, I uninstalled the software from another computer in my office and put on a new (Yes completely disabled and uninstalled). Since installing on the new machine, I can open the files, but once I have run the program and choose initially a tool (text tool or pointer) I can not then switch to another tool. I can go on it but it does not change, menu drop-down boxes do not work, and double clicking on a master page only gives me access to it. I've found other ways to edit documents in a pinch (ESC - V to go back to the pointer tool, using the pull down menu in the sidebar "override master pages", etc.), but this is obviously not normal. I'm relatively new to InDesign so I had someone else who is an experienced user he looks and he couldn't understand what the problem is either. He said it was a software problem. Any suggestions?

  • Cannot select a tool

    When I select a tool, nothing happens... my cursor remains a useless white arrow!  What's wrong??

    Eluria,

    In addition to the suggestions by Scott, try the following (you may have tried / some of them already) and see if that helps you (the following is a general list of things, you can try when the question is not in a file specific; 3) and 4) specifically may be corrupted preferences):

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer;

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) to move the folder with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);

    ((5) browse and try the relevant among the other options (point 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) uninstall, run the cleanup tool if you have CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6 and reinstall.

  • Double click on a page causes Firefox to go back a page instead of highlight at the insertion point

    I have a Logitech iFeel MouseMan. The side button is set to double-click. Sometimes instead of highlight to the cursor position the tab jumps back a page. (In other words, it is as if I had clicked the button left of the return address bar.) This abnormal behavior doesn't happen if I physically double click with the left button of the mouse. This anomaly came a year ago and a Google search has a Firefox configuration setting that solved the problem. Now I do not think the setting and a Google search provides no answers. I solved the problem by resetting my computer to a previous point of reset, but it is an inelegant solution - and it takes hours. (The problem does not occur now. I ask for the future). I prefer to do the problem by changing the appropriate setting of Firefox to go. Logitech told me that the problem is not with the mouse, or its software, but with Firefox and that I should ask experts of Firefox.

    I don't know what setting that is actually, but here's how you can understand.

    1. Enter about: config in the address bar, press enter
    2. Accept the warning
    3. Type of mouse in the list filter field
    4. Settings no standard are "BOLD", now you should be able to see which setting you have changed

  • InDesign CS5.5 cannot select the tool move

    I have InDesign CS5.5, installed on a desktop computer (Windows 7 Home) and it works fine. I installed it on a second desktop computer (Windows 7 Professional). It seemed to install and update fine. However, if I create a new document and drag a rectangle I can't access the move tool to move and I can not change the size and position using the boxes below the menu bar.

    All of the suggestions.

  • Cannot select text and scroll down on any web page.

    The problem is that in Firefox, other applications work fine. I've tried reseting my computer and reset Firefox start Firefox in safe mode with disabled modules. None of these things has solved the problem. Help would be appreciated.

    Update:
    -L'OS is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
    -The issue is not specific to Firefox, but any window full-screen (now I feel stupid for asking this question).
    -Just found this bug on Launchpad report:
    https://bugs.Launchpad.NET/Ubuntu/+source/Firefox/+bug/744580
    The problem occurs because the scrolling down is only triggered by the pointer is what past beyond the highlight box. The problem persists as long as the windows are full-screen; scrolling should occur when the pointer of the hit the lower edge of the screen, but does not work. If the window is made smaller the pointer may move beyond its edge and allows to scroll down while highlighting. This isn't a real solution, but there is a patch available in the forum section linked above (see comment #8).

    It is possible that the iso is mounted, but not by force. After you have restarted the VM, click again on install VMware Tools in the Virtual Machine menu, then open my computer and watch your optical drive. It should say VMware Tools. Double-click it to start the installation of the VMware Tools.
