Can't Use Shortcuts with Photoshop Preset Actions

I haven't been able to get my shortcuts to work in CS4 when I set them for individual actions within the actions palette. I do understand how to both set actions and their shortcuts. I also understand how to use the shortcuts. I have successfully done each of the processes in the past, but haven't been able to get them to work since installing them on my new computer.
For example, I have a photo effect I like and use frequently, so I created an action for it. I gave it the shortcut (Command + F1). When I press the Command and F1 buttons, nothing happens. If I change the shortcut to (Shift + F1), when I press the appropriate keys, it simply changes the brightness of my screen, as F1 on my keyboard also decreases the brightness of my screen.
I'd definitely appreciate any ideas!
Thank you!

Mac OS is overriding the function keys. You need to hold down the "fn" key (in the lower left of the keyboard on Macbook Pros) the Function key (in the group of keys between the main keyboard and number keys on an extended Mac keyboard) in addition to the function key in order for it to work.

  • How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    Using Stratus I was able to create an an application using Action Script 3 and Flash CS4.  The sample code on the Adobe site was quite straight forward and easy to understand.  I now want to switch over to  LCCS but can't find anything any where on how to use Action Script 3 and Flash CS4 with LCCS.  Do I need to know Flex to be able to use LCCS?  Everything was quite simple and easy to understand with Stratus and makes complete sense.  But LCCS is really confusing.  Is there any sample code on how to establish a connection in Action Script 3 and then stream from a webcam to a client.  There is nothing in the  LCCS SDK that covers Flash and Action Script 3.  Please help!  I found the link below on some forum but it takes me nowhere.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the LCCS world.
    Please refer to the SDK's sampleApps folder. There would be an app called FlashUserList. The app demonstrates how LCCS can be used with Flash CS4. Its a  pretty basic app, but should help you moving.
    We are trying to improve our efforts to help developers in understanding our samples. Please do let us know if we can add something that would help others.
    Thanks

  • HT4753 Can auto save work with Photoshop 5.0?

    Can auto save work with Photoshop 5.0?
    [email protected]

    No. Autosave/Versions must be built into the app itself to use those OS features. It doesn't work just because it's part of the OS. None of the CS6 apps support it, either. The only Adobe apps that do are the latest versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements. And that's only because the have to in order to be allowed in the App Store. In both cases, Adobe also gives users a preference to turn it off.
    What Adobe did do in Photoshop CS6 is add an autosave feature of their own. It saves your work according to whatever time increment you choose. Then if the app crashes, it will try to reopen the saved data when you relaunch the app.

  • Using CS5.5 Master Collection for MAC, I can't use "Replace with After Effects composition"

    Using CS5.5 Master Collection for MAC, I can't use "Replace with After Effects composition" because I updated AE to CS6 (but only AE). Even that AE CS 5.5 is still installed, it won't connetct.
    How can that be fixed?
    Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

    Thanks for the answer: I tried different ways (after I read your suggestion) but it always changes back right away ... I can't change it.

    Maybe try associating AE project files with 5.5 instead of 6.

    How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

    I think it has something to do with the order in which the PSE and PS are installed on your machine.
    For me, I can see option for editing in photoshop both in edit menu and from the action bar. I probably had Photoshop installed on my system before PSE

  • I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way?

    I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
    However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
    On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.

  • I installed 5 but now I can't use it with Mac osx - how do I go back to my old version?!

    I was prompted to install Firefox 5 on my Mac. Now when I try to open it says I can't use Firefox with osx. How do I go back to using the previous version - has it been written over? My previous version was fine!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • My iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have "iPhoto" 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

    my iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have “iPhoto” 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

    iPhoto 9.2.3 is incompatible with MacOS 10.9.3 Mavericks. If you are running Mavericks on your system you need to update iPhoto to 9.5.1. Only, the problem is, that this version is no longer available at the App Store.
    The easiest way to get a compatible iPhoto version in that case would be to upgrade to Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10, and then download the most recent iPhoto version from the AppStore, iiPhoto 9.6, like LarryHN suggested.
    If you cannot download iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.6 post back.
