Why my PS CS6 tools suddenly stop working?

My Photoshop CS6 was working perfectly last night; but when I went back to my project this morning, I was able to open documents existing and new start, but the only tool that works the box selection - and instead of double click to release the selected item, I had to do it manually. Also couldn't copy and paste once, until no longer works, as well.

After the update (if necessary) and the closure of all open files in the window, I closed Photoshop... rebooted and found it not solved the problem. Also discovered A several new documents that certainly have been open and visible in the window earlier today apparently not asked if wanted to save before I closed... .so lost 2 hours of work.

The only recent change to my computer has been adding software for the new Canon printer that I had bought when my Xerox Phaser has stopped working. (Since I was already getting WiFi via ethernet connection to the modem Time Warner had traded against the previous router (last year), it was easier to continue this topic rather than looking for a USB cable long enough to reach the box).

So far I did have the opportunity to print a Photoshop document, but the initial test sheets printed without any problems. The only difference I noticed with PS after that installation, it's that the tools were in two adjacent vertical lists, instead of the previous single vertical list.

I read the instructions to reset the preferences of the tool and although it reminded me how we used to troubleshoot our Macs years there, there are so many 'things' on my computer, I was hesitant on the withdrawal of all existing preferences to a different location where I managed to lose them in the process. However, I found their replacement in one annoying warnings.

BTW, I use an iMac 2012 end (bought at the end of the following year)... and updated at Yosemite 8.05 and Flash Player a couple of months.

In which case it might be related... as many Mac users have reported, Safari crashes sometimes and I am often plagued by warnings that the Safari web content does not... But as far as I can tell, it's only slow performance; is no not inoperable software features. I'm more concerned of Photoshop, because I need to go to an important meeting at the beginning of the week.

Photoshop preferences are corrupt often cause Photoshop to act and behave strangely.  It is also a common thing so then Adobe added shortcut to start that you can use to remove your preferences.  Photoshop will build it a new set of default preferences for you. So lose everything you preferences is really not that big of a deal.  However if you who worries about this, you can keep your old preferences.   What you need to do is fine, the record id user preferences are stored in your Mac and rename the folder.  When you start Photoshop it will create a new folder to store your preferences and create a set of preference files default to your user ID.

  • Target display mode has suddenly stopped working

    I've been using display mode target using a cable thunderbolt between my iMac 21.5 inches (end of 2012) and Macbook Air 13 inch (early 2014) for about six months.

    I had a few weeks off and had to return to find that I can enter is no longer target display mode! When I press Control-F2 on my keyboard connected to my iMac, that nothing is happening. I also tried Fn-control-F2. I tried different ports in case one of them is damaged. But nothing helped.

    Anyone has any suggestions as to why target display mode would have stopped working so suddenly? I really like the feature of double screens between my macbook and iMac and would really like to come back!

    Thank you.

    I know target Display Mode will work, but only if I use the command-f2 from the login screen. After the connection, the command does not work. have you tried?

  • Satellite Pro L870 - Touch-pad suddenly stopped working

    Hi - the touchpad on my Satellite Pro L870 - 18G (Windows 8) has suddenly stopped working (after less than 2 months use of)-which makes the phone rather difficult to use. There is nothing wrong with the driver - according to the Device Manager, but I tried to reinstall when even (did not help).
    These things are not normally suddenly?

    Why device manager says that there is no problem when there is a very clear?

    Maybe the touchpad is disabled. Is there a any reaction when you use the FN + F5 key combination?

  • Satellite L50Dt - A - touchpad suddenly stopped working

    Hello
    I'm not a part of L50Dt-A Satellite. PSKM2A. It is running Windows 8.1.

    Last night the touchpad suddenly stopped not working, no cursor on the screen.
    The little mouse on the touchpad indicator has not been and is not yet lit.
    So I pressed the Fn + F5 key so many times, but that didn't work back.

    I went to the mouse properties in Control Panel, and under the hardware, it is listed.
    In Device Manager, there is nothing under the mouse either.
    I went to the site of Toshiba and downloaded the driver for the touchpad.

    However, on installation, it says that this is impossible because the computer already has one.
    I need to uninstall and reinstall.
    However, I don't find the touchpad synaptics original anywhere to uninstall driver.

    Everything is updated via windows update and I ran the troubleshooting tools and that you have restarted, and so far, nothing has worked.

    I plugged in an external mouse so I can use it.
    But I'd like my touchpad mouse works again.

    Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    > Yesterday the touch pad suddenly stopped working...
    I ve never been faced with this problem, but try first to make back the OS to an earlier time using system restore just to see what will happen.

    In this whole thing that it is confusing that touchpad isn't listed in the Manager under the mouse devices and other pointing devices.

  • Satellite L300 suddenly stopped working - new motherboard needed

    My L300 Sat suddenly stopped working the other day.

    It kept freezing, then nothing. So I kill disked the HARD drive and tried to re - install Windows (XP).
    During the installation, he threw a message that some internal components had been installed incorrectly and has to be reinstalled.
    I was told to remove the memory cards and reposition the.

    It does not work. I thought that maybe the HARD drive was damaged, so I set up a new and started to reinstall Windows.
    Once again, same message. One of my colleagues at work suggested that the motherboard was probably U/S.

    So I've been trawling .net to find a replacement. Laptop computer out of warranty! I am told that some other mothers numbered series will work with this laptop. I really want to get a motherboard to find sound never go to work! My unit has a number of SPS to: V000138330.
    I am one with an SPS of offered: V000138390.

    Any ideas? This one will work?
    And if this is the case, it will give me the feature I used to enjoy?
    Sorry for the long history of sobbing.

    All the advice accepted with gratitude.

    Hello Andy

    Sorry, but can you tell us more about your laptop? What model do you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
    You have the European model?
    At your warranty valid for laptop?
    Maybe I've misunderstood something, but why you want to swap motherboard if the warranty is probably still valid?

  • resolution 2560 x 1440 has suddenly stopped working. 1080 p now the max option available

    I have 2010 macbook pro (el capitan) and ASUS H257HU monitor that supports the resolution 2560 x 1440. Until yesterday, I was able to get the full resolution, but suddenly it has stopped working and the max resolution I could get was 1080 p.

    I tried to reset the smc and NVRAM, but that did not help.

    In safe mode, I followed the suggestion of apple and was able to get resolution of 2560. But it reboots the machine back to 1080 p. Hold down the option key and clicking on the option scale does not display any resolution above 1080 p.

    I've tried searching and following some recommendations, but no permits.

    Restart the computer and enter views sometimes give 2560 option, but clicking on it makes the screen turns blue and then it always comes back to 1080 p, with no options available in the dialog on the scale. The System Preferences dialog box hangs for a few seconds.

    Someone at - he fell on the same issue and found a solution. I don't know why he suddenly stops working, while still being able to work in safe mode but not in normal condition. I tried to remove the profiles as well.

    With bootcamp (win 7), the display works fine with 2560 x 1440.

    The connector I use is screen Mini DisplayPort.

    All proposals/solutions will be very well received.

    Hello there, moths.

    It seems that you are having problems to select the resolution you want on your external display from ASUS. Great job with the troubleshooting, you've done so far. The following Knowledge Base article offers strong information to look over and review, as well as links to some additional troubleshooting content:

    Get help with graphical problems on external displays connected to your Mac.

    Before you start

    You can solve many problems of display by updating the software on your Apple devices, cables and adapters. If you see an image on your screen, look for the software updates using the Mac App Store:

    1. Connect your external display and Apple video cables or cards that you use with it.
    2. In the Apple menu, click App Store.
    3. Click updates in the window of the App Store.
    4. Install OS X updates or firmware are listed.

    If you use a display, hub, extenders or adapter not made by Apple, check with the manufacturer for updates that might be available.

    If you try to connect a screen 4 K or Ultra HD TV with your Mac, make sure that your computer meets the requirements for the use of these external displays.

    If your firmware and software are up to date, or if you don't see the image on your screen, try the steps below for your specific problem.

    {...}

    Check the connections

    Check the connections on your Mac and external screens:

    • If you use an Apple laptop computer, try to connect the AC adapter.
    • Make sure that the power cable from the external display is connected correctly and that your display is enabled.
    • If you are using a Mac Pro (end of 2013), make sure that your screens are plugged into the right ports.
    • If you use a hub of display, Cabinet or "KVM", try to connect the video cable from your screen directly to your Mac instead.
    • Unplug the video cable where it plugs into your Mac, then reconnect to reinsert the connection.
    • If you are using a video card, unplug the video adapter on your Mac, then reconnect to reinsert the connection.
    • If you use multiple video cards to connect your screen (the cards are "chained"), testing connection of the screen by using a single adapter if possible. Some video cards may not be linked together. For example, a mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter may not be connected to an adapter DVI to HDMI.
    • If your screen has more than one video connection, see if you are using another connection on the display works. If possible, check if you use a different view or a different adapter works.
    • Try using another cable that you know to be in working condition. Check with the manufacturer of the screen to make sure that you use the cable they recommend.

    Detect your display

    If you use an external monitor, sleep and wake your Mac to check for connected screens:

    1. Press the power button on your computer to standby, or choose the Apple menu > sleep.
    2. Wait a few moments, and then press a key on your keyboard or click your mouse or trackpad to wake up your Mac.

    If you use more than one screen, and you can see the image on one of the screens, you can also use the preferences monitors to check the connected screens.

    Adjust video settings

    If there is no image on the screen, try adjusting the brightness or contrast of the screen. If there is still no picture or image appears torn, or scrambled, try selecting a different video resolution in system preferences. Adjust brightness

    • If you use an Apple Display Monitor, press the key to increase brightness your Apple keyboard. To adjust the brightness of a secondary screen, press Control + F2.
    • If you use a view that is not made by Apple, see the documentation that came with your monitor to see if it includes built-in controls to adjust the brightness or contrast.

    Change your display resolution

    1. In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    2. Click the display icon.
    3. Click default for display. If you see more than one resolution listed, choose a resolution and refresh rate. If the display turns off when you change resolutions, press the ESC key to cancel the change.

    If you can not change the resolution of your screen because you see no image, restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

    If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

    Search for software third display

    If your monitor only works when your Mac is started in safe mode, and related to the software display is installed, check with the developer of the software for updates, or try to uninstall temporarily.

    {...}

    Get more help

    If you have tried these steps and your screen still does not work, contact the Apple support for more help.

    Thank you for being a part of the communities of Apple Support.

    See you soon.

    Several troubleshooting methods:

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have
    EVER had on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which)
    may cause strange problems).

    If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

    Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

    not better?

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if she's here, it is no longer necessary but Java
    installs and it causes more questions - have you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again.) Search
    other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look
    right. Allowed are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If doubt about a program
    ask about it here.

    Could not be a free - SpyBHOremover - BHO - standalone program, needs no installation, download.
    unzip and run - all are not bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).
