Direct Selection or Hand Tool will not Move object with mouse! Frustrated!

Since this recent update, I haven't been to use my mouse to move an image, text, etc. I'm running CC2014 on my Mac, not running Yosemite.
I've tried already:
Clicking some key sequence when opening Indesign so it will clear preferences - did not work.
Restarted my computer - will work for a few minutes then stops
Uninstalled Indesign and reinstalled - nothing
Uninstalled full CC suite and ran the CC cleaner - deleted all instances of Adobe folder on my mac, deleted trash, restarted computer and reinstalled - This did nothing, same issue.
I'm getting really frustrated as I don't really want to use my keyboards arrow keys to move elements. Any solutions to get rid of this annoying problem?
Thank you in advance!

I think that worked! You are my savior! Its been about 2 months dealing with this and it was such a simple, the weirdly unrelated, program that was causing the issue! Do you know why this happens?

Direct Selection Tool Will Not Scale

For some reason my direct selection tool will not scale or stretch any vector or raster imgaes - CS5. I can only grab a corner and simply move the art. Does anyone have a fix for this? Maybe I hit some quick command keys and did not know it?

The Direct Selection Tool (the white arrow, shortcut "a") has never had that capability. All it's ever done is select and move points. You need to use the Selection Tool (the black arrow, shortcut "v") to do those things. If you want to scale, stretch, etc... a sub-selection of an object, you can make your selection with the white arrow and then use the transform tool (shortcut "e") to modify what you selected.

Hand ICON will not change to tool ICONS

When starting a new file, the Hand ICON will not change to tool ICONS. When I walk away for an hour it seems to start working properly.

Trackpad will click and select but will not move cursor

After breaking the trackpad in my early 2008 MBP I replaced it.
Upon startup the trackpad will click and select but will not move cursor... I have tried all system resets short of wiping and reinstalling OS.
Any suggestions?

Because the click has to deal with a physical button press while the movement has to deal with the trackpad detecting the movement of your finger on it.
Just for giggles, if you hold down the Option key on bootup and get to the boot menu on it, does the mouse work then? If so, then it's an OS issue (could be a setting or some .plist that's jacked up.

CS5 - Standard Screen Mode - Hand Tool don't move the document

Hi all
In PS CS5 -> Standard Screen Mode -> Hand Tool don't move the document unless you zoom the document so it became bigger than the working area!
Is it possible to use the hand tool (move the document arround) while the document is smaller than the working area?
Thanks

Why not just shrink the window border and move the Window around to where you want it, as has been described above several times?
because that will make the working area much smaller. You'll be able to move the Window around, but if you zoom in, you will lose working area and you'll have to use the scrolls.
Maybe it would help to describe WHY you want to move the image within the window/tab?
There are many reasons for that and I don't have the time to describe all of them right now. I'll give you just one: if you paste an object that is bigger than the document size and you want to transform the object (scale down for example) - you press Ctrl+T and the top, bottom and middle right points are no visible (they are outside the area). Then you have 2 options if you want to scale down:
1) scale the image with the left side point, and then move the image back to the document
2) zoom in the document -> so it became bigger than the working area -> so you can move it with the Hand tool (spacebar) -> so you can see the right points -> so you can transform the object -> and then you zoom out again
both ways are just very slow
if you can move the document inside the working area (inside the window) then you can perform the task much quicker:
move it with the Hand tool (spacebar) -> grab some of the right point and transform as simple as that. And you still can see all of your document, and you can still reach the right points
this is just one example, I can tell you more

H470 carriage will not move

H470 printer carriage has stalled and will NOT move no matter how many times reset. I took it to a HP authorized repair service, paid $25 for them to look at it. They called back and said it had so many things wrong that it would take $500 in parts to repair. I don't believe it --- it worked perfectly until this stall issue. I see that this stall problem is a common issue, but don't see where anyone has gotten a fix or even knows what part will fix it. If anyone has gotten their repairs, please share info with part or repair service. I love this printer and want it to work!

Hi appletreasures,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
Sorry to hear that the carriage is stuck on your printer. Because of the age of the printer and the out of warranty status, I suggest that you attempt to pull that carriage over by hand. Please disconnect the power cable before you make the attempt.
Sorry for the inconvenience .
Thank you for your time.

In Thunderbird while trying to move conversation results to an archive folder; if some of the results are already in the folder it will not move any.

Hi. I often use the conversation search option when archiving my emails from inbox. I find this a very useful method of finding trails where I and multiple people have responded to each other. However If I have already moved one or more of these emails into the archive folder and select all to move, Thunderbird will not move any. I then need to individually select those that need to be moved.
Although not a major issue I use this regularly and often come across the problem. a recent fix which allows location tab to remain on in search helps but does not resolve this issue. A slightly annoying problem and I was wondering if any one else has this issue. Also is anyone looking into a solution?

FCPx answer: At least the answer that worked for me...
I had the same problem, as I believe many others had.
In my case the problem was with one of OSX Mavericks' new features: APP NAP.
It looks like this is ON by DEFAULT for ALL Applications and that FCPx, or Compressor for that matter, will not work if this is enabled on them.
I just disabled App Napp on FCPx and now it works, again, like a charm.
This is how you disable App Nap: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57612009-263/how-to-disable-app-nap-in-os-x -mavericks/

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw makes horrible noise and will not move past initializing

Makes horrible noise and will not move past initializing.

Hi @HealthITLadyRed,
I read your post and see that the printer is making noise and is stuck initializing. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
I have provided some steps to try to see if we can resolve this issue.
Check and remove any packaging material inside the printer and toner.
Disconnect the USB/Network/FAX and power the printer on Standalone.
Do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
If the issue persists, perform a power drain by disconnecting the power cord from the back of the printer and keeping the power button pressed for 30 seconds and in case of a power switch keep the switch in ON position for 30 seconds before reconnecting the power chord.
Update the printer's firmware by a USB connection. Software and Drivers.
Select Option 2 and wait for the page to load and then select the link for firmware. This resolved the previous posters issue.
I can send a private message with another step to try.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What happened prior to this issue? (paper jam, changed toner) Any feedback would be appreciated.
Is this a new printer?
If you appreciate my efforts, please click the Thumbs up button below.
If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know. Thank You.

HT1212 I have no idea why suddenly my iPhone5 will not move past the Password screen; also, a voice describes each button I touch, and ends with "screen locked" (not "phone locked").

I have no idea why my iPhone5 suddenly will not move past the PW screen; a "voice" identifies each button touched (the Slide button, for example) or the PW buttons, and then ends with "screen locked" (not phone locked).

I believe you have Voice Over on:
You have to tap, then double-tap to select the numbers to enter your passcode.
Then:
Press Home.
Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
Tap General. Then double-tap General.
Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.

On a mac the type tool will not display when i double click on the type button in the layers panel

The type tool will not display. So I can't change text format.

Thank you for your response. I am using PSE version 11, OS 10.9.4.
I figured out the issue. The Text Tool was displayed but it was off the bottom of the screen. I had to resize the window from the bottom to display the Text Tool. To do so I had to move the dock to the left and then learn that by using the Option key it is possible to change window size on both edges.
Problem solved, thank you.

How do I temporarily select the hand tool in CS5.5

I recently upgraded to CS5.5 (7.5.3) and it seems that the shortcut for temporarily selecting the hand tool doesn't work any more. It used to be Alt+Spacebar in both text and standard mode. Now I can only get it working in text mode. For some reason Indesign won't let me set it to Alt+Space in standard. Any ideas?

It should be working the same as before (and when not in text mode, spacebar alone should also work). Check to be sure you aren't using some custom or oddball set of keybaord shortcuts (Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts...), and maybe try trashing the prefs (see Replace Your Preferences).

Illustrator CC 2014 - spacebar hand tool shortcut not working, how can I fix this?

The hand tool is not being temporally activated by the spacebar in Illustrator CC 2014.
I've restarted, deleted preferences, nothing seems to work.
I’m pretty sure it was working when I first installed the new version - just stopped for no reason.

MB&B,
Item 7) under 5) in this list shows the usual suspects.
You may also consider trying some of the other options on the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Just downloaded Lion 10.7.5 and it has stopped Minecraft working correctly. Screen jumps like an earthquake and character will not move. Any ideas? Thanks, John

Just updated OS X to latest 10.7.5 and I am using Minecraft 1.3.2.
After loading software Minecraft screen is like being in an earthquake jittering up and down while the character will not move out of its existing square. I can use tools but not move.
Anyone any similar experience or solution?
Thanks

Thanks Tom. Whilst their site did not resolve the issue you did make me think about creating a New World in Minecraft. This created fine and does not exhibit the problems. I guess the last game is just corrupt and not an OS X issue and is just a coincidence.
Thanks
John

My cursor will not move on my MacBook Air. I've forced a shutdown, but it still won't move, and now I can't move the cursor to click my user image to log in. What should I do?
