Selection tool works not - only work for moving objects

My selection tool does not at all - when I select an object with it, it only shows the anchors of direct selection, but does not allow me to change an anchor elements. It will allow me to move the object to resize (or change the position of the anchorages either).

When I select the text tool and press command to change the text box, nothing happens and it won't let me change anything.

I'm in CS5, on a Mac.

I already rebooted Illustrator (nothing is) and then restarted my computer, and it is not yet fixed.

Help?

Take a look at show/hide edges and show/hide the rectangle enclosing. Both located in the view menu.

  • Quick selection tool does not work after last update Photoshop CC

    I've updated to the latest version of Photoshop CC, and the Quick Selection tool does not work. I am able to make a choice, and then when I try to make multiple selections, I receive the ball well filled, and then nothing is selected.

    I have preferences in the performance, the value Panel "Big & Flat" in the historical and 'Basic' Cache in the settings of the graphics processor. Thus, the operating system is up-to-date.

    I restarted my computer, and now it works. Don't know what it is, but it works fine now.

    Thank you!

  • Selection tool will not adjust the forms

    For some reason when you work with illustrator my selection tools won't adjust the forms more. I can move the shapes but I can't resize them or stretch them. If I have a form of rectangle on my selected screen, the hatch which are normally found in the environment are no longer there, also on the edges of the rectangle of the selection tool is not switch to the rotation tool. My selection tool also has a small black square down to the right that I have not noticed before. I have no idea how I got into this mode or other whatnot, but any help to return to normal would be awesome, preferably without resetting all my preferences, thank you!

  • Selection tool is not the tail with images when you drag

    So I had this frustrating thing for a while. When I put my selection tool a video file at first to move to the side or another layer and as soon as, like moving the selection tool a bit, he places automatically the video one layer under my selection tool... So I have to move the selection up to a length of layers tool to adjust it to the left and right on the timeline... Just a fight. I wish that the selection tool has not changed the layer of videos when I moved it left and right... Just stick with the images that I am setting on the im adjustment layer. Check out the video and you will understand what im getting. The selection tool shows a strange looking symbol with an arrow pointing down so I guess it's just a special feature that was accidentally checked the. You just don't know where I can go back to normal. Thank you

    Went on the Chat with Adobe and they solved the problem via remote access.

    First on erase my personalized workspaces closed first pro. Then went to my "documents" (I have a mac) 'Adobe' and then click 'Premiere Pro' and moved three files named "6.0" "9.0" and "10.0" in a new folder, that they named "Od." Finally they opened back first. When the box came to put everything in place, they went up to the top of the window and deselected "import the project workspace" under "workspaces". I have opened a project and it fixed the problem. I had to make a new workspace and change some shortcuts custom back, but other that that, it was back to normal.

  • Help! Path selection tool does not.

    Earlier today my path selection tool worked great. I could add the vectors and move. Now, everything he does is moving the

    whole shape rather than the selected vector. I tried to restart the program, different projects and I even tried restarting the PC all together. Still works the same. I don't know what happened or how to fix it. I really want to push a project before 5 pm CST I would be very grateful if anyone knew how to solve this problem.

    Ctrl-click on a point, then you can move it.  This is because it switches to the Direct Selection tool.

    In my view, change the easier path with the pen tools myself, but to each his own.

  • Why the 'Quick Selection' tool works so slowly? -CC Photoshop in Windows 7

    Whenever I try to use the quick selection tool, it REALLY takes a lot of time to choose. I got CS5 and it was super fast, even with large RAW files. Now with CC, it takes at least 20 minutes to choose one in a photo.

    I tried "resetting" the tool - that didn't work at all.

    Help, please!

    Hey! I had the SAME problem... solved in 30 minutes because I had put the CC on my laptop and the quick selection tool is fast, but on my desk of mega-fast (16 GB, 4.2 Ghz, blah, blah) Photoshop CC was by DRAG the BUTTOCKS.
    The difference is that I have loaded the Office from scratch. The laptop has prviously CS5 and copied PS Édition/préférences/Performance settings that existed in CS5. ... It was the section history & Cache. "Large, flat" for the 1024 K cache sizeaffect and it States cache the value 6. I supported up to 4... EH whatever

    You are welcomed
    (I was about to uninstall the CC PS! It's all good now... BTW - I have even torn from the Nvidia GTS450 thinking it was a driver problem, but there was no difference with the i5 Intel HD Haswell 4th gen... integrated graphics card then, don't do this!)

    [redacted] I just did some experiments, 8 levels with a small cache size works too... so, just get out the 2 levels of 128 k if it is what you are willing to. I'm Big and flat which is 6 levels / 1024K.

  • Perspective selection tool will not scale

    Then, I worked with Illustrator CS5 perspective all day without problem mode, when three hours, widget scaling perspective Selection tool disappear on me. He'd only move items now. Tried to dig into the menus to see if there were a few shortcut that I accidentally hit which disables the scaling (for a reason any), went up to reinstall the program, nothing works. Do not wait to hear a solution for this, but it makes it rather impossible to work in perspective and it is totally killing me, so it couldn't hurt to ask!

    If there is now no bounding box, then it's view > hide/show the bounding box or Command Shift B Mac or PC Control Shift B

    In the opposite case

    I'll try to help you further, to ask the question in the language of the Illustrator and composed not of words thet yu will include only you need.

    For example you speak of object scaled on the perspective grid? There is no widget scaling, but there is a widget for the selection of active plans.

    What is the widget that you refer? If Yes, then you may need to turn off the visibility of the widget

    If you talk about the grid and the widget, you might have to hit command > shift > I have on the Mac or the control > shift I have on the PC that would hide the grid and the widget hit the keys still once he'll bring back. Or view > Perspective grid > Perspective to show/hide grid.

    Even after reinstalling it would probably not visible unless you trashed the settings folder after uninstalling.

    Regarding the scaling is done with the perspective under the tool selection tool grille perspective.

  • the direct selection tool - how not to move the shape/path?

    This thing drives me to work my anti-stress ball: when I touch a path with the white arrow, I'm always first in a mode where the path may be moved. But I want to move a blink of an eye or the handle - is there a place where I can put this tool to do not move or or to select never all the way? I have the normal selection for that tool! I think I watch something. Thank you!

    orangestuff,

    You can edit > Preferences > General and then uncheck the box use area select, but it means that you need to knock or drag on the path when you use the normal selection tool.

    And it's always good to be able to make a success and train your finger to spring.

  • The user can see all the resources, not only allowed for access to its organization

    Hello

    I put three self-serviceable resources resources authorized for a specific organization. So if I click on resources authorized for this organization, I can see only these three...

    When a user of this organization click on request for new resources, all self-serviceable resources are listed to the user, not only allowed resources. I thought that the user can only see authorized resources...

    If I connect as sys admin and request resources for a user of that organization, I can see that the three resources allowed.

    I saw the sql statement that run of IOM to inventory resources:

    (
    Select act_key
    of the usr
    where usr_key = 5 and acp_self_servicable = '1'
    )
    )
    ) and
    obj.obj_order_for = 'U' and
    (obj.obj_type ='Application ' or obj.obj_type ='Generic ') and
    obj.obj_key not in

    As you can see in the query above, if I change the excerpt below the result is what I expect.

    I missed to set something or something wrong?

    Thank you

    Renato.

    Sorry, but I do not understand your last answer. You mentioned the following:

    for option B, even if option A is not checked, you can set automatic ask for organization when assign authorized resources.

    -isn't that what you wanted? You define the resource resources as authorized in all organizations whose users can request this resource. I implemented this and it works fine. This works for both types of applications. (a) my resources-> request for new resources and b) applications-> resources-> Grant resources.

    In the case of b, according to the Organization to which the user is selected, the resource is displayed. all resources are not displayed.

    So the solution is to uncheck in RO and bring the resource authorized specific organizations as resources in self down. It should work fine. Let me know your exact problem if it works that way.
