CS2 not responding to certain keyboard keys

I have CS2 with Windows. It has been working perfectly but just recently some of the keys will not respond eg F7 for the layers.
Also when trying to put Text on an image the text shows as a line ---------- but shows what is written in the layers comp. Very annoying as I cannot gauge properly what I want to do.
I'm not sure if it is something I have maybe altered in the set up unbeknowingly.
Can anyone help me?

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.
If you bought CS2 recently you may have been the victim of a fraud!

IMac A1311 does not respond to any keyboard or mouse

Hello,
My iMac A1311 does not respond to any keyboard or mouse.
I can restart it. It starts without a problem, but I can't enter my account password or move the cursor.
I have tried using four different keyboards including the original bluetooth keyboard and mouse, an Apple wired keyboard, a generic wired keyboard and a wireless keyboard. I also tried resetting PRAM as well as NVRAM. I even tried to start it in Target Mode and tried to start it with a start-up disk (The disk remained inside the computer). Unfortunately, it all seems to originate with the same problem. The computer does not recognize the mouse or the keyboard. I believe I could rule out a problem with the USB port since the original keyboard/mouse uses Bluetooth.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

Is this a wake from sleep problem, or after only after a restart?
If it is a 'wake from sleep' issue then since some point in OS X 10.6.x, through 10.7 and 10.8, some users (me included) seem to have the occasional problem with the Mac being unresponsive to any commands from the keyboard/mouse/trackpad, and the issue seems to be something to do with Bluetooth not fully waking from sleep.
The 'fix' that works for me 100% of the time is to go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.
I keep hoping that an OS software update will come up with a 'proper' fix.

Keys not responding on wireless keyboard

When I turn my computer on, my keyboard does not respond. I have to re-start the system in order to get it to respond (every time). I have changed the batteries, for the mouse and keyboard. I have moved the keyboard closer to the system, and that has done nothing. Any suggestions?

@Chanda123 ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum. First thing I would need to know is how does the wireless mouse and keyboard connect to the notebook.
Does it have a USB stick to make the connection?
If it does is there any other issues with the USB port you are using?
If you plug a regular mouse into the same port will it respond?
Please post back with as much information you can and include what kind of wireless mouse and keyboard you are using.
Thank you again and have a great day.
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

Escape key not responding, along with FN keys -Sattelite L300

ok so this has been occuring for a little while, not sure since when, but very recently
basicly, the escape key wont respond to programs, and neither will most of the FN keys, FN F10+F11 work, the LED's light up, but the rest of the FN's do nothing
the escape key responded to a keyboard testing program, it came back as responsive and working, but in programs such as a 3D engine and MSN Messenger, escape refuses to respond and work as it should
it hasnt always been like this, theyve worked before, ive had the laptop since christmas, had to take it back because the wireless card broke

Go to:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
and download the TVAP package for Vista (32bit I assume).
Uninstall the current TVAP in Control Panel -> Programs and Features
Reboot and install the new TVAP
ps. You need to burn the Recovery Discs yourself, ensure you use good quality media to avoid problems.

Logic 9 not responding to computer keyboard correctly

In Logic Pro 9, dialog boxes (such as the Save As) do not receive the computer keyboard strokes. Instead, Logic processes them as key commands. This even though the dialog box has the focus and the mouse can select fields and highlight their entries. Very strange. Typing sometimes works correctly, but usually not. And once it doesn't, even if it did earlier, I must reboot to have a hope to fix it.
This happens with the Save As dialog, and with any other dialog box that has typeable fields.
I am current on Logic 9 and Mac OS X.

Okay, I figured out enough to work around it and to fix it without having to restart Logic or reboot. I can't work out the exact chain of events to reproduce it, but here are the important things to do if it happens. And BTW, it happens to me on the File>Bounce dialog box, not the File>Save As dialog. I assume this is actually a bug.
1.) Sometimes the key commands do get disabled, and none of them work. So you have to go to Logic Pro > Preferences > Key Commands and select Options > Initialize. Just like immo says.
2.) Sometimes, this isn't enough. In which case, do two more things...
3.) Be sure the Arrange subwindow has the focus (ie, the white band around the window), and
4.) Be sure the first time you try to enter anything into the Bounce dialog window it is in the Save As filename field, not the End measure numeric field (or any other). If I try to enter any keyboard values into any other field first, I can't and I also can't then enter anything into the Save As field either. I then just have to start over again with the key command initialization step and so on.
These workarounds combined have allowed me to always recover from this issue. Though I do have to do them multiple times in a session, at least when I'm bouncing down.
Thanks everyone for your input and help!
Best,
Brian

Photoshop CS2(Not Responding)

My photoshop cs2 program has been running very well for the past year or two. I have started saving files back and forth between cs3( at school) and cs2 (at home) for a school project. All the sudden, as I was painting a background to place in my project (magic wand>move tool) my cursor becomes an hourglass, all panels become blank, and at the top is says Photoshop (Not responding). This has happened 4 times now and I have lost my work each time. Can anyone help me?

This is a generic occurance on any program on windows basically asking you not to touch it until it has figured it out. It is a result usually of system resources being too low, meaning you need to upgrade your computer ideally in order to see less of the problem. If you press Ctrl+k, it prings up preferences. goto the Preformance panle, and if you can, set the memory usage for photoshop to what it says is an ideal range above it. This could help if you don't have anything else running with photoshop. Note that you must restart photoshop for the options to take effect here.
Also note that interactiing excessivly with windows during a "program not responding" period can cause the program to completely fail and loose your work. It is best to leave it along until it goes back to normal, then quickly save your work, then keep working.

PShop CS2 (Not responding) after installing

I have just reinstalled Adobe Photoshop CS2. It appears to install okay. When you start it up it appears to start okay, the splash screen appears and goes through the start up, that disappears and the normal working page appears, but as soon as I click on any menu,tool etc. it goes blank with the top left corner of the working page showing Adobe Photoshop (not responding). I also tried a "repair" from the unistaller, but no joy.
For info:
I am working on a Dell Dimension 9150 I am running XP pro sp3. AV is AVG and firewall is Comodo. I have never been able to get PShop working on this computer, so I don't think it is a PShop problem. I have stacks of disk space, and 2Gb RAM.

Presume you have solved this but if not, uninstall PS2 ( I also unistalled all other versions I had PS5, etc), re-install, then install 9.02 update.
Did all this then accessed CS2 - no probem.
Think it may be a multi-processor problem.

Firefox is not responding on certain websites

a few weeks ago i noticed that firefox was running much slower on some websites. today i downloaded version 4.0 in hopes that it might correct the problem but it hasn't. every time i visit sites such as amazon.com, imdb.com, musiciansfriend.com, nba.com and a few others, firefox totally freezes up and it is deemed as not responding in the task manager. I have always enjoyed firefox but if this continues I'm going to be forced to start using Internet Explorer because those sites work fine with that web browser.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Forever "Not Responding" if certain actions are performed.

Whenever I perform one of these three actions...
{A} Attempt to open Browser Settings
{B} Attempt to UP-load a file of any kind
{B} Attempt to DOWN-load a file of any kind
...Firefox instead goes all "Not Responding" and never comes out. I've even left it to sit for a night and when I came back nothing had changed.
I've always cleared my Download History, and any options regarding Browser Settings is not an option.
Any ideas?

Sounds like one of the I/O chips has failed. I don't think you can do anything but buy a new keyboard.

Certain keyboard keys don't work Acer Aspire V3-571G

Hello, A few months ago I began to have issues with my Acer Aspire V3-571G-9435 where certain keys would intermittently stop working. Most often it would be the "A" key, along with less frequently the "C" and "Z" keys, and somtimes other keys. Within a minute or so they would start working again. A couple weeks ago, however, several of the keys, including the "A" "C" "Z" "F" "," "." and some other keys stopped working altogether (all at once). Following some guides I found online, I took the laptop apart and was able to take the keyboard ribbon cable out of its connector and put it back in, thinking it may be a loose connection issue. However, this did not fix the issue. I went online and ordered a new keyboard from Amazon, thinking the keyboard itself might be broken. After installing the new keyboard however, and entirely NEW set of keys have stopped working, including "J" "Q" "T" "U" "P" "1" and a few other keys. (However most of the keys that weren't working previously are working again). Does anyone have any other suggestions about what I should do? I've been using an external USB keyboard, which works fine, except obviously portability is sacrificed. I'm unsure if this is a hardware or software issue, as a brand new keyboard still isn't working properly. Could there still be something wrong with the connection? Is there a possible software/diver issue? Thanks for any help.

jmckeen,
A new keyboard means a new ribbon cable so that leaves the only constant, the motherboard; pending the unit was not damaged in any way from like dropping it or spilling something on it. If you are in warranty I would see about creating a repair for it. Here is the link to set up repairs online, or you can chat online with a technician (available 24/7).

Accidentally deleted /var folder, now recovery utilities not responding to trackpad/keyboard!

So I did something completed stupid, and now have a big problem.
I accidentally deleted /var folder and emptied the trash!!
Now my MBP is stuck at the grey start up screen with the apple & spinng wheel and won't start up..
The weird thing is, now when I enter recovery utilities, everything displays fine except I cannot click anything! The mouse pointer moves but won't respond to clicks! Same with the return on keyboard. Arrow keys work to move among 4 options on os x utilities (time machine/ reinstall/ online help/ disk utility) but when I hit enter, no response! The trackpad & return key works fine up until the point where the mbp asks which language to run the recovery utilities.
All my data is backed up online, and now I just want to reinstall os x and start using my mbp again!
I tried reinstall with an installation disc by holding down 'c' on start, then I hear the installation dvd spinning for 3 seconds, then it would start ticking and won't do anything else for a few minutes until I force shutdown.
Please!!! Can anyone help me?? How can I reinstall os x?? I would really appreciate!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you in advance.

I know it's late but maybe it will help other people.
I ran into the same issue and none of the solutions listed by apple helped.
I booted into single-user mode and I read the log in /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/private/var/log/system.log, it was full of errors like theses
Dec 30 18:03:28 MacBook-Air locationd[352]: libcoreservices: _dirhelper: 454: mkdir: path=/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000sm00006d/C/ modes[2]=0700: No such file or directory
Dec 30 18:03:28 MacBook-Air.local locationd[352]: could not create persistent store directory (Input/output error)

The system actually tried to create directories in /var/folders but the directory /var/folders did not exists, so I created it:
Under single-user mode:
mount -o update /
cd /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/
mkdir var/folders
mkdir var/folders/zz
reboot
And it booted just fine !

Macbook pro does not respond to bluetooth keyboard and mouse at login screen

i've seen this question floating around and i don't think i've found one that has been resolved. i'm hoping someone may have an answer by now.
i do not have this issue when i boot into windows 7 (bootcamp) the macbook pro responds to keyboard input and mouse input immediately on the windows 7 login screen. when i boot into mac, there is no response from either. i've seen suggestions of waiting for 30 secods. i still get nothing after waiting for over a minute.
what i do right now is use the built-in touch pad and keyboard of the macbook pro to get past the login screen. once i'm logged in, i can see that the bluetooth devices are not yet connected (the three dots that go across the bluetooth symbol at the top right of the screen are not yet there). then after a while, maybe about half a minute, the bluetooth keyboard and mouse are connected and i can use them normally.
it is not a big deal but it is very annoying.
i am using a logitech bluetooth mouse (v740) and an adesso bluetooth keyboard (wkb-4000bm). i also tried an azio bluetooth keyboard and had the same issue. all these keyboards are made for mac.
thannks in advance.

just a correction, the keyboard and mouse don't always automatically reconnect once i'm logged in. most of the time i have to go click the bluetooth icon at the top right of my screen, select the mouse and then select "connect". i have to do the same to the keyboard.

Report Server does not respond after certain idle time

We have an oracle 10g application server on solaris 10.
The report server has the defaul settings for time out , callback etc..
After the report server stays idle for 2 or 3 hours and the first report that comes after that takes around 8 to 10 minutes to generate. The report server engine does not seem to be getting active immediately.
Is there any parameter I can change so that the reports do not get effected.
Thanks

I have put the idle time out at 300 minutes and the max idle time as 350 minutes. But that does not seem to have helped.And also I have min engine as 1 , max as 10.
Even with the above settings , When the report engine is idle after 30 minutes the 1st report to generate after 30 minutes takes 9 minutes.
please let me know if there are any other parameters I need to change.
thanks

Web pages in safari not responding, also certain apps close themselves...

What is going on here? I clear the cache from terminal like all the time and I also dont go to dirty web pages, although I pretty certain my 16 year old nephew did a time or two last month when he was here cause thats about the time when this started happening. Its becoming worse and worse and I would like to figure out what is wrong and fix it before it festers into a bigger problem.

The paucity of details is amazing. Provide computer, OS, and app information and maybe someone can help.
