CS5 illustrator 'shift arrow'/cmd shift arrow' keys wont work! (Help!)

Hi,
I have just installed the CS5 web suite and are loving it so far, however for some strange reason when I try to move an object or point by holding down the shift - arrrow or cmd shift arrow key, (as you do) nothing happens!
Have tried restarting etc but to no avail... Works fine in Photoshop and other apps, but no go in ai... Any suggestions please as it's really annoying!
(Never come across this before in previous versions..)
Thanks,
Dean

It actually seem to have worked for you as well as you cannot copy and paste the settings folder from one version to another since the prefernces are tied to a different folder so if you moved or trashed the folder or replaced it in some way like changing the name of CS 4 to CS 5 then all you did is the same as above since Illustrator just created a new set of preferences and settings anyway.
So the above actually worked for you once you quit and restarted Illustrator.
Here look from my preferences folder CS 4 and CS 5 living confidentially side by side.
BTW if you just removed the preference file within this folder you did not follow the instructions correctly you have to get rid of the whole settings folder.

  • A key wont work on my keyboard

  • 'O' Key Wont Work Sometimes

    Yesterday my 'O' key randomly started to go weird; all of my other buttons work perfectly but when I press the 'O' button, sometimes it wont work. I have absolutely no idea what has caused this but any help would be amazing! The phone is 8 days old and uninsured so I need a fix as I can't send it back!
    Thanks in advance!

    Since it seems to be a hardware problem, so would request you to visit nearest Blackberry Authorised Service Station who can look into the matter and can suggest.
    Because your problem doesnt seems to be a software issue which can be resolved online.
    Hope that resolves your issue!

  • My Delete Key wont work

    I dont understand. It was working earlier today and then when I was replying to a message i wanted to delete something and now the Delete < Key dont work. Why is this? My phone is about a month old?
    I took out the battery for about 5 min and still nothing.
    Any help please?

    Are you having any issue with any other key not working?
    What happens when you press the delete key? What about if you choose Menu > Delete?
    Sometimes, a key not working or acting odd, is a result of moisture damage... even left in a bathroom during a hot steamy shower can affect the keyboard.

  • Satellite A300-1M1 - cursors keys wont work

    Hi everyone.
    I have one Satellite A300-1M1, and in this last weekend both "up" and "down" keys just stop working. At the same time which is very strange.
    What should i do ? is it dust ? Ive just cleaned the entire keyboard with a bottle of air spray, and problem remains.
    The warranty has just expired last November.
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers

    I dont know what do you want to hear. If the keys are not working you must exchange the keyboard.
    What you can try is to test keys functionality in BIOS settings. If the keys dont work there too I presume it must be some mechanical problem.
    You can also try to remove key caps and clean them up.
    What else you can do?

  • 6500 slide, whole right side of keys wont work?!

    this happend 2 months into owning the handset. along with other glitches that arent too much of a problem.
    the keys (top left one and 3,6,9,# wont work!!!) anybody know what i can do? thanks x

    hi...
    Your phone has a problem with the ribbons...so basically thats a hardware problem and needs to be checked by a nokia technician...
    Alternatively,if the phone is under warranty then you can return it to where you bought it from...(if its not water damage then they'll replace.)
    !!!OHOO!!!

  • Keys stopped working; HELP!!

    So over the last day my delete key, return key, right hand shift key and right arrow key all quit working. Restart computer, checked for software updates, I think its a hardware issue. Can't see anything obvious underthe keys and they seem to move like they should. They just dont do anything. Any Ideas????

    PPC means Power PC, this was the type of micro processor Apple used prior to switching to Intel in 2006. Please update your profile, the way it's set now is it's confusing to those trying to help you.
    On the SMC reset, please follow the instructions VERY carefully. Also it can take 2-3x for a SMC reset to take. Other things to try are resetting the PRAM:
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Also restarting in Safe Mode can help, this clears some caches. It's possible one has become corrupt.

  • Number zero key wont work, but it does in...

    ok this is strange and probably a duh, fix. my number zero key will not work as a zero, it works in upper case, as the parenthesis, and in number lock it acts as a backslash, so what is going on there??
    i havent plugged in a keyboard yet, i just figured since it works in shift mode and number lock mode that the ky itself is not faulty...
    this is the only key that doesnt work...
    any ideas?? i looked in preferences, and i t doesnt look like any keys were changed..

    yes they are empty, shouldnt they be?? i havent changed any thing, but my daughter plays a harry potter game, as far as i know thats all she does, she is only 6 and knows she is not to do anything else so it would have been quite an accident if it was her, the only other person is my nephew, he was playing with it on thanksgiving, but i cant imagine him doing anything structural...
    where would i go from here, any ideas??

  • Some of my keys wont work.

    Shift,backspace,m,p,v,etc. What should i do?

    Have you bought a new keyboard to use on a slightly older Mac? The newest keyboards need OS X 10.6.8 for full functionality.
    Otherwise, go to System Preferences > Keyboard  and ensure this box isn't checked;

  • Movie contains buttons with keys assigned. Both work. If you click a button first, keys wont work.

    I created a project with a menu of 7 buttons. The client has the option to click the buttons to view a different scene or use keyboard events. Each scene has been assigned a number when using the keyboard. The mouse and keyboard events function successfully. But I noticed if I start the movie by using the mouse, then the keyboard events will not work any more. One of the keys is important since it is the only way to play frame to frame. Anybody have a clue why this happens?It is as if though I have to tell the client,  don't click the buttons or the keys won't work.
    Below are actionscripts for the movie. I added actionscript for each scene for the keyboard events. In the menu, the movieclip contains the actionscript for the mouse events.
    Scene 1:
    import flash.events.KeyboardEvent:
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onKeyEvent1);
    function onKeyEvent1(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
    var character:String=String.fromCharCode(e.charCode);
    if (e.keyCode==72) {
      gotoAndStop(1,"master");
    if (e.charCode==49) {
      gotoAndPlay(1,"Distributor");
    if (e.charCode==50) {
      gotoAndPlay(1,"Mirka");
    if (e.charCode==51) {
      gotoAndPlay(1,"Farm");
    Menu Movieclips:
    master.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseDownHandler1);
    function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
    MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(1,"master");
    distribute.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseDownHandler2);
    function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
    MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(1,"Distributor");
    health.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseDownHandler3);
    function mouseDownHandler3(event:MouseEvent):void {
    MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(1,"Mirka");
    mirka.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseDownHandler4);
    function mouseDownHandler4(event:MouseEvent):void {
    MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(1,"Farm");
    transaction.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseDownHandler5);
    function mouseDownHandler5(event:MouseEvent):void {
    MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(1,"Check2");
    transaction2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseDownHandler6);
    function mouseDownHandler6(event:MouseEvent):void {
    MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(1,"Check3");
    sceneA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseDownHandler7);
    function mouseDownHandler7(e:MouseEvent):void {
    MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene2");
    sceneB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseDownHandler8);
    function mouseDownHandler8(e:MouseEvent):void {
    MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene1");

    In addition to my question, I'm opening the SWF file in a utility program IrfanView which the client uses for offsite purposes. Therefore, the SWF works fine in Flashplayer 10. I can crossover using mouse and keyboard events. But in IrfanView, the program will not allow me to crossover mouse and keyboard events.

  • Wireless Key wont work for set up - help!

    I have had my broadband hub 2 arrive today in the post, which I have set up with no prolem - all blue lights are on and ran the installation cd and entered my wireless nework name which worked, but when i enter the wireless key it will not accept it, saying that is incorrect. I have entered and checked thoroughly for any errors in typing.
    So I have put the ethernet cable in, and set up because it wouldnt accept wireless which has all worked fine- hence why I am on the internet now! but when u remove the cable you loose the internet.
    Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong as I have followed all of the set up instructions but with no luck and after spending nearly 2 hours on the phone in a queue ( i eventually put it down in the end as assumed nobody was there!) I am getting rather annoyed!!
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    Most members advise not to us the CD to install do it all via your browser
