Random thick lines and loss of sensativity

Hello. I've been having a problem with random sensativity in lines.
On my other computer, which is several years older then the one I'm working on now, working on PS with a tablet that was Bamboo, I would draw and quite often, every other stroke or so, instead of doing the stroke, it would make a straight random line of full pen thickness instead of using any sensativity. I knew I was getting a new computer and equipment soon so I took little worry of it. Now I'm on an entirely different computer, using a different new version of PS6, an Intuos Pen and Touch Medium, and have the exact same problem. It is not a memory problem, as this new computer has nearly nothing on it, everything is on an external drive. I used to run on windows vista, and this is windows 8. I've tried downloading other programs, such as Sai, and have not had the issue in it so far, but I wish to use PS6 for all my work. Is there a setting in the tablet interface I need to fix so it doesn't have so many problems with PS? Or could it be something else? I tried using Sai briefly to see if it was the problem with the program and so far I haven't had the same issue in Sai itself.

Are you able to try the tablet on another computer?  My first thought on reading your post was Wacom hardware or driver.  Is this only happening when brush size is set to Pen Pressure in Shape dynamics?  And does it never happen with the mouse (I'm guessing not).
You are allowed two installations of Photoshop with your license or subscription, so you can legitimately install Photoshop on a laptop.  Reading your post again, it appears you are using a different pen and tablet, on a different computer with different operating system with a different version of Photoshop.  With odds like that working for you, you should probably rush out and get a lottery ticket!  There has to be something in common.  Some correlation between the two set ups.  Have you transferred brushes from old to new system?
I take it you are using new drivers for the Intuos?  Wacom have had more than their share of driver glitches
How about electrical interference?  Is the tablet resting on a device that might be radiating RF interference?
It's a strange and interesting problem.  I'd suggest heading over to the Wacom forums, but I'd like to see how this pans out. 
Can you double check your driver version

  • Random NAME folder, and loss od Drag&Drop ability

    My company currently has several MacPros hooked up to an Xserve. There are a few random computers who, while clicking on a folder in the Xserve, see a folder inside called "NAME" along with the other documents or folders that are supposed to be in there. When clicking on that main folder they want, they cannot drag it to the desktop of their computer.
    The only work-arounds are to Copy (Apple +C) the folder and Paste (Apple + V) the folder to the desktop, or to change the finder view from Columns View to List or Icon View.
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
    Thanks.

    I have a similar problem, I have a xserve with an Active RAID attached sometimes when I connect to the sharepoint a folder appears at the top called NAME but you can't do anything with it?? i would then revisit the sharepoint at some tim and it would dissapear, this is really puzzling???????
    ANY ANSWERS OUT THERE?????

  • I can't draw straight lines for fill-in-the-blank on my tests and worksheets. The "draw it yourself choice makes big fat lines and takes a lot of manipulation. Do I have to draw them myself with a pen and a ruler?

    I can't draw straight lines for fill-in-the-blank on tests and worksheets. The draw-it-yourself ooption gives me thick lines and is time-consuming. So, after all these years, do I have to go back to using a ruler and a pen?

    In Pages v5.0.1, the straight lines are already drawn for you in the Shape Tool. Before we go there, select Menu > View > Show Ruler.
    When you click on Shape in the Pages toolbar, the top left line is straight. Click it. It will drop into your document in a 45 degree angle. Grab the lower left selection grip and drag it up and to the right to position the horizontal line in the length of your choice. Use the Format: Style tab to manage the stroke weight. You can also choose Menu > Edit > Duplicate Selection (command+D) as a productivity tool.
    If you move from the Format: Style tab to the Arrange tab, you can compare the start and end points with where you want the line positioned on the ruler. Once you have it positioned, notice the Lock button, also on the Format: Arrange tab.

    If I close the computer and open it back up, it sometimes stops for a little while, then will spontaneously start again. Any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks!

    See this knowledge base article. Also, you might want to update to 10.6.8 (don't know that that will fix your problem, but it's the latest version of Snow Leopard).

  • I am trying to create a PDF document that calculates Gains and Losses in Mutual Funds. The calculation scripts are repetitive from line to line. The scripts work well until I reach the line 32. Script stops calculating...

    I am trying to create a PDF document that calculates Gains and Losses in Mutual Funds. The calculation scripts are repetitive from line to line. The scripts work well until I reach the line 32. Although I am using the same script as the fields above in the columm, the script eventually stops calculating and I can't figure out why. Is there a limit of how many calculation scripts you can enter? I will attempt to attach my pdf as soon as I figure out how. Thanks.

    For e31 :

    Java console doesn't show any error... That's why I am wondering if it's not a limitation issue... or memory issue, because they are maybe too many rows or something....

  • Classification of line items into the Detailed Profit and Loss report

    Hi,
    Given a line item in a profit and loss ledger, what field determines that the line item will appear under Fixed Manufacturing Costs, Sales and Distribution or General Admin Expenses when we generate the Detailed Profit and Loss report?
    Thank you

    Hi all,
    Thank you so much for everyone's quick reply. I really appreciate it.
    Please allow me to clarify my question.
    I have a balance of 3,712,126.60 in my GL 30000000. In my detailed Profit and Loss (ZPL-002), 705,712.90 is shown under Gen. Operating Exp. while 3,006,413.70 is shown under Fixed Manufacturing Costs.
    So, what field does SAP use to allocate those line items between Gen. Operating Exp. and Fixed Manufacturing Costs? Is it Functional Area only?
    Thank you.

    Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • My iMAC 27" suddenly displayed thick vertical green lines and then went to a whitish grey screen.  any insight?

    While accessing PAGES on my 27" iMAC computer, then screen suddenly displayed thick green vertical lines and then went to a whitish grey screen.  Each time I shutdown and turn back on it shows the same thing and then goes to a blue screen.  The last time I rebooted and I came to this site to try to problem solve.  Any idea?

    It sounds like a GPU problem, but I am not sure. Try booting in AHT (Apple Hardware Test) to be sure. Also, if you have another Apple computer, try to boot the other computer with the hard drive from the iMac using target disk mode. While booted on your imac's hard drive, check console for kernel panic logs. Paste only Kernel panic logs not application crash logs here please.

  • IPad Crashes-Black Lines and makes random restarts

    This barely happens before on my ipad until recently my teacher confiscates my ipad. After this going on, my ipad kept on undergoing multiple crashes and restarts. When I was rotating my screen or opening an app, it shows black lines and restarts by its own.

  • Illustrator CS5 random thin lines in shape of a circle with an off-centred middle

    Hi there!
    I need to create random thin lines in shape of a circle (similar to a dandelion), but with an off-centred middle.
    I hope this makes sense...
    Here is a quick scribble of what I need:
    I just can't figure it out, does anybody have any ideas?
    Cheers,

    wouldn't be a bad idea to use the flare tool:
    you can only have 50 lines though. needs some expanding/ungrouping, and delete the extra circles.

  • Random bold lines

    I am trying to convert a Word document to PDF. The document contains tables that are linked to Excel. After I convert them to PDF,some of the total and subtotal lines are very bold, even though they are not bold in the document. Double lines randomly appear as very bold single lines, and regular single lines appear as very bold single lines. It doesn't do this for all lines, just some of them.
    Can anyone help me figure out what is causing this?
    Thanks!!

  • Mid 2010 15" Macbook Pro Random Shut down and Restart

    I know this questions have more than likely come up a few times. But I have a mid 2010 15" Macbook pro that, for the last year, has randomly shut-down and restated displaying an error message each time. I have had this computer into three different computer repair shops over the last few months, two of which were apple certified, and have had a range of reasons provided for the issue. Anything from Motherboard to hard drive to virus. I have replaced the hard drive, did a complete reformat three times, and downgraded my OSX. But I still have the same issue. I recently came across some support tickets referring to an issue with this model of Mac, something to do with the graphics card. I downloaded a program that was supposed to be a work around, but am still having shutdown issues. I also heard that apple did a free replacement of the motherboard on these machines within 3 yeas of purchase. Obviously I am past that point, but I was hoping that there would be some other suggestions. I have ran an etrecheck on my machine and have attached it below. Can anyone provided any ideas of how I can fix this without having to buy a new motherboard?
    Thanks for the help...

    I know this questions have more than likely come up a few times. But I have a mid 2010 15" Macbook pro that, for the last year, has randomly shut-down and restated displaying an error message each time. I have had this computer into three different computer repair shops over the last few months, two of which were apple certified, and have had a range of reasons provided for the issue. Anything from Motherboard to hard drive to virus. I have replaced the hard drive, did a complete reformat three times, and downgraded my OSX. But I still have the same issue. I recently came across some support tickets referring to an issue with this model of Mac, something to do with the graphics card. I downloaded a program that was supposed to be a work around, but am still having shutdown issues. I also heard that apple did a free replacement of the motherboard on these machines within 3 yeas of purchase. Obviously I am past that point, but I was hoping that there would be some other suggestions. I have ran an etrecheck on my machine and have attached it below. Can anyone provided any ideas of how I can fix this without having to buy a new motherboard?
    Thanks for the help...
    Cheers,

  • I wrote a 27 chap. book on my iMac from ****. B4 I was completely finished, I spent hundreds of hours on-line and in store, and final answer after atty was involved was 1) we've never seen it b4 2) we don't know what it is 3) it's not ur harddrive, softw

    finished, at about 26 chaps, 1) hard-drive went out, 2) visited site & then got "ur virus is infected buy us now" pop-ups (only time in 3 year. of using a mac, and 3) (forget what but an issue. Spent hours on-line, and at store. And finally w/an attorney when I kept being told it was user error. (I"m getting to book isssue I promise)  During this time, Harddrive was wiped, external b-up replaced, something about "separated" etc. etc. and even computer replaced w/same issues afterward. Final vrdict 1 yr. later: 1_ we've never seen it 2_ we don't know what it is--not a virus, not harddrive malfunciton, not software issue 3_ we don't know how to fix it. Live w/it w/multiple errors and oddities every time you try to type or start all over. Got an attorney, and took it in again, and miractulously, "he" fixed it. However, in meantime, I wrote many duplicate chapts. when I couldn't find missing, or edited, some, etc.
    Everything was writen in Pages, chapt. by chapt. Now I have a 27 chap. book(my first)  in pieces--w/many duplicate or slightlychanged chapters  all over the computer. I'm trying to reconstruct. Some chaps. I just can't find, some are garbled, some do strange things like left justifying and changing to single space (and can't change back to double, just have to erase and start over,  on those old documents. Needless to say I have felt so defeated it's been really hard to get back to the almost finished book for last re-write.
    The Questions:  1)I'm trying to find the chapters, and as I find and edit them I need to know how to make this massive achievement work. Should I continue w/chapter by chapt until all are finished? Or start putting them into single document as they are finished? How do I find anything? If I put finished in PDF to send to publisher, even tho it's my PDF, I can't go back and edit my own, except in a duplicate entire document, is that correct?
    I cant' find the string to start unraveling this mess. I do have hardcopies made and presented to writing group so need to edit those chapters.
    I'm used to paper typewritten copies of everything for manipulation, and I know things now I should have done on the Mac but didn't when I started. (I"m also having trouble getting a Table of Contents to work, which is making it doubly hard to find anything.)
    To sum it up, I think, How do I write a book, with chapters (no technical sstuff, only a few footnotes & I may group them at the back of the book.) as far as manipulating documetns/folders, have ready for export, etc.   Probably too long a question so go ahead and chew me out.  (And I havent' used any other document except Text Edit in years.) I am overwhelmed an book is wasting away.

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
    If there are specific tasks you need help with:

  • Disconnecting Line and Final Bill

    I had been a loyal Verizon Wireless customer since 2008. I
    was on a share plan with my wife and my brother, and I would pay the bill each
    month which was about $160 for the three of us each month. I never missed one
    single payment. Well the 3 of us decided to switch to
    US Cellular. My brother’s wife had already been there, and they had these new
    phones for a penny and it was time as we’ve had these same phones for 5 years
    almost now, we were out of contract, and I had a work discount through US Cellular. So.......
    February 22, 2014 the three of us went over to US cellular
    and started a new plan with new phones. My phone number and my brother’s phone
    number switched without a problem. However, my wife, who’s number was from a
    different region could not be switched, we needed to get her a new number.
    After we switched, US Cellular told me to call Verizon the very next day (which
    was February 23rd) and disconnect/deactivate my wife’s line because
    that one would not happen automatically as they didn’t transfer her old number.
    So on February 23rd, I did
    just that. I called Verizon and they said we were disconnecting it and I’d get
    the next bill and would have to pay that and should be done.
    Well sure enough around March 1st, the next bill
    came, and on it is the full balance of $160 due March 10th. I question this and
    call Verizon again admitting I thought it would be a lesser amount. They instructed
    me to look at the billing date. The cycle was from January 15th to
    February 15th on the bill that is due by March 10th. Well
    we switched phones on February 22nd, so it made sense to me that
    this bill didn’t reflect the few days of February 16- 22nd but
    rather the previous full month from January 15th up until February 15th.
    So far so good, I just misunderstood the bill cycle date.
    So I asked if I could just pay off the remaining amount and
    be done with it all. I mean we’re in the beginning of March now and haven’t used
    the phones since February 22nd, and they’re all disconnected now,
    why not? They told me unfortunately no, I had to pay this whole bill first and
    then wait for the next bill cycle to come available which wouldn’t happen until after
    March 10th for that last billing cycle which would  reflect those few days of, Feb 16- Feb. 22nd.
    The rep ensures me it will probably only be a few bucks per line for those 6-7
    days or so.  I said that’s too bad I can’t
    just pay the whole thing now but oh well; we’ll do it your way. I guess I’ll just
    go online in a few days and pay it  and
    then come the next bill cycle (which doesn’t go out until March 10th)
    we’ll go online about that and pay the rest; just a few dollars per line.
    The rep butts in, “yeah, about that sir, once you disconnect
    the line, as you've done, you lose service to your online bill pay and accounts online so you
    will have to call us to pay. I’m thinking aww man, another inconvenience, but
    oh well, I’ll do what I have to do and call back twice to get these bills paid.
    Well, a week later a couple days before March 10th
    when the full $160 is due, I call and pay it (which took me forever on hold as
    one of their centers was down). She apologized for the delay, took my payment,
    and said when that last bill gets generated here in a few days (March 11th that shows usage from Feb 15th to March 15th, but will only reflect the few days I used the phones in that cycle which would be to the 22nd) I can just push pound
    something something and pay the last bill through the automated phone system and be
    done. I said okay
    Come now to March 22nd I get that final bill in
    the mail. I expect it to be a few bucks per line as is it would only reflect
    from February 15th to Feb 22nd when we disconnected our
    lines.  But no, the bill is $120. That's almost
    3/4 of the price of all three of our phones for an entire month.  I was thinking something must be wrong, unless they didn't prorate the bill in which case the whole month (which would be a rip off) would be $160 like usual but why all this confusion? I was hoping to just use the automated bill
    pay via phone to pay for those 6 days in the last cycle and be done with it forever but no, now I have to call the
    company AGAIN to figure out all of this. What happened next was a nightmare!
    I called and spoke with a rep asking why the outrageous
    price for just a few days of service on those lines. She puts me on hold and
    looks into it. She comes back and says my wife’s line was never disconnected. I
    said you have to be kidding me; I’ve called in to disconnect it initially and
    then even called back w/ questions on how the last bill works and everything
    after we disconnect the lines. You can even see that no data or minutes were ever used on
    any of those 3 lines since Feb. 22nd. She answers, yes sir I see
    that, let me place you back on hold. Okay I figure she’s going to check this
    out.  She comes back again, well sir I
    see you called a couple times  but I don’t see that you requested to disconnect your wife’s
    line. WHAT?! I thought. Why else would I originally call? US Cellular was right and told me specifically told me to do this the very next day and I did! AND THEN I ALSO EVEN CALLED BACK LATER AFTER THE NEXT BILL CAME CONFIRMING ALL THE LINES WERE DISCONNECTED AND HAD QUESTIONS ON HOW I LEAVE VERIZON AND WHAT MY FINAL PAYMENT WOULD BE!   And why was my
    account access to pay my bill online turned off (I did try to go online to see
    if I could pay the last bill and I was no longer to go online) if my wife's line was never disconnected? This is getting
    nuts. She placed me on hold again and returns, okay sir, this is what I’m going
    to do. I’m going to suspend her line today and then you can call back tomorrow
    to disconnect it.  Then you can pay off the last payment on the next bill cycle.
    At this point my blood is boiling, was this a joke. I should
    not have to call back again, this should have been disconnected weeks ago! and
    you can see nothing has been used on those phones. I told her this is the last bill cycle and  I’m not calling
    back and we need to get this disconnected today and that bill lowered to its
    fair amount.  She places me on hold again
    and comes back and tells me she had overridden something and got the line disconnected
    today and she was going to take $40 off my phone bill.
    At this point I’m like finally, but an hour later and now my
    phone bill is $70 for the three phones that we used for 6 days!!  I said 6 days is about 1/5th of the
    month. If our final bill is reflecting only the days of the month we used it
    should be more like 1/5 the price of our original monthly bill which was $160. which would be more like $32, not $70. I had to explain some of the simple math to her and she
    goes on to push about how the line was active and such, and I said but that
    wasn’t my fault you didn’t disconnect it and this is not a fair final bill for
    6 days of usage!!  She put me on hold yet
    again and finally came back and said I’m going to take off another $40 from the
    bill but it will need approval from my supervisor which will take 2 business
    days. If and when she approves it, you will get the final bill in the mail for
    the $120 minus an $85 credit. FINALLY!!!
    I wasn’t even looking for something free, I just wanted a
    fair final bill after I’ve taken the time to call to disconnect my wife’s line
    and understand how the final bill works and everything. No one should have to
    go through this and spend hours on the phone trying to understand how the
    process works so you don’t get duped and then end up getting duped anyway and
    having to spend more time to fix that. It was a big rip-off and extremely frustrating.
    Telling me the line’s not disconnected but taking away online bill pay, and the
    final bill itself was not only wrong, but it outright lied in certain spots.
    Almost as though they were making up dollar amounts and dates. The bill cycle on the last bill said Feb 15th to March 15th but then under then under my wife's name there was the charge of $120 and the dates next to that said March 15th - April 15th!?!?! The phones haven't been used since Feb 22nd! Not simple at all and very confusing.  Make sure you’re carefully monitoring your
    bills when leaving Verizon Wireless. Needless to say, I’m never going back to
    them so I won’t have to worry about this again. I just hope this new paper bill that shows the credit gets to my mail box before it's due date of 04/10 so I don't get a late charge. I was assured it would. I hope the CSR is telling the truth this time for once. I have faith in the last one I spoke with. I'm hoping she doesn't let me down too like everyone before her so far has.

    Leaving is quite simple via porting out. As you noted when two of the lines ported successfully. However I can see no valid reason why the wifes number could not be ported out. There are porting laws in place. But on to the rest.
    If your monthly service runs as you are saying "The cycle was from January 15th to February 15th on the bill that is due by March 10th".
    That would be incorrect. If your monthly bill is from lets say January 15 through February 14 then your payment on the account is always that last day. (February 14th.) The next new billing cycle is now February 15th through March 14 again the bill closing date is the day the invoice must be paid. All three lines since they were ported on February 22nd. still must be paid in full (2 ported & 1 not ported). There is no prorating in this case. Now in regards to the bill closing date again would next be March 15, 2014 through April 14, 2014. Since the wife's phone was not closed the only device should be just that line and no other. The other lines are paid up through March 14, 2014 so there should be no further charges.
    Some where along the line folks must remember to terminate service (port) a few days BEFORE the next bill comes due. remember we pay in advance.
    Good Luck
