The items puppet warp tool (and content aware fill) won't be available while in Transform mode.

Most likely you'll need to use the actual menu commands under Edit>Fill and Edit>Puppet Warp

What colour mode and bit depth are you working in? If you are in a multichannel, or in a locked layer you will not be able to pupet warp.
