Alt-Lasso Not working - CS5

In CS5 trial, when one holds the alt-key and runs the lasso around something, it doesn't select.

Alt-Lasso behaves as in CS4: it deselects previously selected objects

Ctrl/Alt Keys not Working in Parallels

Hi,
I'm running Illustrator CS6 using Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7. It appears that the ctrl/alt keys do not work. Has anyone found a solution? I've tried resetting my preferences and restarting my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciaed.

Although this is an old thread, I also seem to be having the same sort of issues with Illustrator CS2 in Snow Leopard running under Parallels Desktop 9.
Re. the proposed solution, there does not seem to be a 'Virtual Machine -> Configure -> Options -> Advanced -> Optimize modifier keys for games' option in Desktop 9 - or I've not found it.
I will pursue this in the Parallels forums, but if anyone here has found a solution, I'd be interested to hear it.

Ctrl and shift alt shortcuts not working in Illustrator CS4

Hi
Can´t seem to get these keys to work properly.
For instance while drawing with the rectangle tool then pressing shift to get a square does not give me a square, all I get is a tooltip balloon saying "shift" same goes with ctrl and alt and spacebar. This only happens while using my wacom graphire 3 not with the mouse. Trying to use the up and down arrows to shange the number of points in a star also not working. But if I FIRST click the shift key then start creating a square its working, but not if I first start creating the rectangle. Photoshop cs4 does not give me this problem. Using Vista 32 bit swedish language, latest Wacom driver 5.0.8-6, latest keyboard driver and a swedish microsoft natural pro keyboard, latest logitech mouse driver. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Fonts... there are probably the most guilty of that cases. Ask yourself: when you add (drop, be forced) new fonts in your system, by management spoftware (directly into font folder)? Notice when web browser "ask" you about access to your fonts on your HD in last time (so often last days). When you "dig" somthing in a system, at any way, you disturb his "sacramental peace" (Ohmmmm...) and it flow in other case like sensitive Illustrator or others - I think all other "movements" eg. reinstaling, deleting, etc just "cover" problem by something others (for a short time) or don't resove it at all.
So, first try... rebuild you system maintenace privilages (do this every month or often! Try Atomicbird Macaroni or Titanium Onyx or so, than...
try rebiuld/refresh/clean your font cach ( I use for this, and manage, FontExplorer X Pro) and should be fine.
..."should" I'm not guarantee 100%
PS
I have no idea what should be done on PC

Alt shortcuts not working for alt-left/right or for é, í etc

Hi guys,
I've had this problem for a while now… Essentially, the issue lies in the alt-shortcuts for left and right where one is usualy able to 'word jump', and the creation of accented characters like é and í using the alt-e shortcut. All other alt functions appear to work fine for the moment. The alt-left/right shortcut still works when shift is held down, and highlights all the characters that have been passed over, as it should. The output for alt-e is completely blank, and the alt-left/right output is nothing, unless shift is also held.
I have a British English MacBook Air keyboard on Mountain Lion, and I have set it to that layout, and I regularly switch between this and greek for scientific formulæ. I've fiddled around with language and input settings trying to get it to work again to no avail, and there are no shortcuts programmed to that to my knowledge. I have checked on a guest account and it seems to be account specific. Ideally I'd like to keep this account without migrating everything over - does anyone have any ideas with regards to how to track down where the problem is?
Thanks in advance to any responses!

If only alt + e is not working, double check system preferences/speech to make sure it has not been set as a trigger for text to speech or speech recognition or whatever.

Polygonal lasso not working in PS 2014 with OS X 10.10

The polygonal lasso is not working when using Photoshop CC 2014 with the new Mac OS X 10.10 Beta. Anyone else notice this problem? It still works fine in regular Photoshop CC.

You are right about taking my chances with the beta. So far it's working pretty well. They've made a lot of cool visual improvements. A lot of other people who are not using the 10.10 beta seem to be having trouble with the polygonal lasso as well so I wonder if it might be an Adobe problem. I have sent in a report to Apple about the issue.

New T400 ctl-alt-del not working

I just a new T400. It has happened twice that when I try to enter back from blocked screen/standby using the ctl-alt-del it does not work (as if the keybord was desconected... nothing happens). I have to force power off and then it works.

If I activate this, will the user receive a popup when deploying some apps
(bundles) ?

Alt + A not working

So while reading the Captivate 7 User Guid PDF (pg 163, item 7) I saw the following:
In the Closed Captioning dialog box, you can add closed captions while the audio is playing by clicking “+’”or by pressing Alt+A.
The idea is to continue transcribing the audio while it is playing. We have tried using the Alt + A on serveral computers but to no avail. Any ideas???

Deleting Boot Camp partitions the conventional way will not work . You must use the Boot Camp Assistant to remove a Boot Camp partition. Here is a link to the guide.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf
The way to restart is to hold down the option/alt key during startup* and then selecting the Mac OS. If you have a valid Boot Camp install of Windows it would show up during this type of start up.
* hold down immediately after pressing the power button and until the OS choice screen appears.
To summarize.
1 Use the above method to boot into Mac OS.
2 Download the instructions and read them.
3 Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition.
4 Pick your friends more carefully.

Space Bar Hand Move & CMD-Space Zoom Not Working-CS5

Today, all of a sudden, two of my most used functions—holding down the space bar to move the image around and holding down CMD-space bar to zoom—just up and quit on me (I do like the "Scrubby" but it took a little getting used to. It's very touch screen-esque).
I did all of the normal trouble shooting such as deleting the prefs, relaunching, restarting, etc. Nothing. The functions work fine in the other CS5 programs.
Anybody else come across this? I checked through all of the prefs thinking that perhaps I accidentally changed something but I couldn't find anything. If all else fails, I'll do an uninstall/reinstall but only as a last resort.
I did notice that Adobe finally fixed the Distort (in Full Screen Mode) bug that was killing me in CS4.
Thanks for any help.

I don't believe it but I think that I finally found the culprit: hulu (the desktop app, not through a browser).
To make sure, I rebooted, launched PS, Flash, and InDesign, and then fired up every app that I could think of, one by one, testing each time, leaving hulu for last. Sure enough, it was not until I got to hulu that the space bar hand/zpom stopped working. And then I went one by one, quitting each app, testing each time, again leaving hulu till the last. Sure enough again, the space bar continued not working until I quit hulu, the very last app that I had running (aside from CS5 and system processes).
Please, please do not tell me that there is a conflict between CS5 and hulu's utilization of Flash! That would just make Mad Dog Jobs' a happy camper. (I am a big supporter of Flash on the iPad).
What a relief. Except how am I now going to watch my TV shows while working???
In regards to browser conflicts, I have had none with Safari, Firefox, or Chrome.
Adobe, I hope that this information helps. Let me know if you need any info screen capped.

CRTL+ALT+DEL not working with Windows 7

Hi,

Windows 7 in remote management session.
I saw that I can activate UAC but I don't want to do this.

Show/hide Menue with Alt does not work @ Ubuntu

The shortcut does not work with Ubuntu, nothing happens when I press Alt

The doubling is weird. I cannot produce that. Forgive the repetition, but stated a little differently, in normal mode start with the cursor on the desired center point, depress the left mouse button, drag out to any starting shape and position, then depress and hold down the ALT key. The shape should then reposition itself so that its center is the initial point you chose. Without letting up on either the mouse button or the ALT key, drag the mouse to get the shape and size you want. Now release the mouse button FIRST, and then the ALT key. If that doesn't hack it, you've got a more interesting problem and we'll do some more head scratching,

Motion tween not working - CS5

I created a symbol, placed it on the timeline, made a copy and moved it to another place on the timeline, clicked in the middle and selected motion tween. It shows a motion tween on my timeline, but when I move the playhead, there is no animation, just a start state and an end state. Help, please!

should only be the symbol on that layer, there should be no other object, be careful, a single point can do not work
If you copy the symbol in the time line then use "Create Classic Tween"
to use "Create Motion Tween" just right click on the frame in the timeline (without copying anything in the timeline) and select "Create Motion Tween", position the playhead at the frame you want and move the position of symbol

Spacebar to toggle Hand Tool is not working (CS5)

In InDesign, using the spacebar to toggle the Hand Tool stops working.
When it stops working in InDesign, it also stops in Photoshop and Illustrator.
If I close the applications, and restart the machine - this combination starts working again, however after a while it stops working again.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated - you don't realize how much you use this 'til it goes away!

Okay, so I think I might be able to help. I'm not a tech expert, but I had this issue today. It only started happening after I had an new hard drive put in, at which point a new internet security program was installed on my computer. Before this program was on my machine, this "temporary hand tool with the use of the space bar in Adobe CS products not working" problem did not occur. So, I figured it had to do with upgrading from OS 10.6 to OS 10.7 or with Webroot {the internet security program}, since those were really the only things that changed from pre- hard drive crash to post- hard drive crash. When I was poking around Webroot, I noticed there was a "Pause Secure Keyboard Entry" button to choose. Seeing that word "keyboard" was the lightbulb moment. Coupled with the comment above from Larry G. Schneider...
It's a Mac OS security bit which blocks the modifier keys from working if there is an open port which has access. It's supposed to prevent malware from executing system events.
I figured that my Webroot {which is meant to prevent malware and such} was overriding certain keyboard functions to prevent malware from detecting my keyed entries in place that could breech security on my machine.
So, I decided to try turning that pause button on... and sure enough, my temporary space bar hand tool came back. That is the only thing that worked. Not quitting out of Chrome. I suspect the reason for that is because Webroot was still operating outside of my Chrome application being open and active. So, for those who were able to get it to work again by quitting Chrome {or Safari, Firefox, etc... any of the above mentioned}, perhaps in quitting out, it was automatically quitting some other type of security extension that is loaded in the browser that does not work independently of the browser, but only when the browser is open. Quitting the browser would quit the security extension that was preventing keystroke detection and securing keyboard entry.
Apparently, this could also be turned on in Terminal {something I discovered by researching my problem and finding an article about it}. See screen capture below.
So, if it can also be turned on there, I imagine it's something that comes with several applications or extensions. If you are experiencing this problem, my suggestion is to find out if there is somewhere on your machine, in some running program, where this security is turned on, and then try turning it off to see if you got your hand tool back. It worked immediately for me after having tried many other things. This might also explain why it's only a temporary fix for some... why it returns, because the default of that program that has the security {Secure Keyboard Entry} is to be on. The nice thing about Webroot is that the button to pause it is always available up in my top menu bar by the date and time on my mac, under the Webroot icon. I can pause it whenever I'm in InDesign {which is where I was experiencing the "bug"}, and then unpause it when I'm not using InDesign to restart that added measure of security.
Hope this helps a lot of people with this issue. I don't seem to have found a solid answer on any forum, but this seems pretty thorough to me. Interested in finding out if others are helped by these same steps. I hope so. And if so, I hope that more applications will make it more obvious so that people don't have to dig around so much. For instance, it would be nice if Adobe saw it as a known and fixable issue and provided documentation about it... what to do or check if it happens to you... so that people won't have to hunt around as much as I did {although, that part was kind of fun and I felt pretty smart and accomplished afterward... even knew the fix when talking to a Geeksquad guy while he was not aware of the problem nor did he have any idea what to suggest}. For me, it was beyond frustrating, because I use that function in InDesign ALL the time. Hopefully Adobe will put something about this in their Help. Perhaps it's already there?? I just know I didn't find anyt
Anyway, just goes to show how much these forums help. Without this thread, I might not have thought twice about the "Pause Secure Keyboard Entry" button when I saw it.
Hope everyone gets a permanent solution to this problem!

Alt codes not working

I am trying to use alt codes to input spanish and portuguese characters. My laptop has a keypad so I am pressing ALT+!164, for example, but none of the codes works. What could I do to solve this?
Thanks!

I don't believe there is a keycode for the ALT key, but you can apparently determine whether or not it is active (Boolean) using theKeyboardEvent.altKey property. See the following in the help documentation.

US Macbook Pro, wanting to print '£' symbol, Alt+3 not working.

I have a U.S. Macbook.
Region Set to United Kingdom.
Alt+3 does not result in '£' sign being printed instead of a white space.
AltShift2 prints out '€' easily enough, every other keyboard shortcut for symbols works as well.
Shift+4 prints '$' as it should.
Shift+3 prints '#' as it should.
Is there another way to get this working? Or is this a weird bug?

In the Input menu in the menubar, choose the U.S. keyboard layout. Now Option-3 will produce the £ symbol. Or select the British layout, and then Shift-3 will produce it.

GNOME 3 : "drag-and-drop" + "Alt-Tab" not working

Hello,
In GNOME 3.2.1 with Mutter 3.2.1 (current ones in Arch), it is supossedly fixed the following "bug":
Mutter 3.2.1 changelog:
* Allow keyboard window switching (alt-Tab) during drag-and-drop [Matthias, #660457]
But I can't make it working.
As test, I open a folder (maximized) and vlc (background). I drag a movie file with left click mouse and pressing Alt-Tab makes nothing.
In fact, when I press Alt the file icon changes to a question mark "?"...
Has anyone been able to make it work?
Thanks in advance,
Franz

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
