Did they take away the spacebar hand tool shortcut in CS4?

using illustrator CS4 on mac os x leopard. When I hold down spacebar, nothing happens. shut down the program, re-open it.... it's stuck on the Pointer. I checked google to see if anyone else had the problem as well as the preferences, I couldn't find anything.
Anyone having this problem?
EDIT: They also did something with Alt/Option + Drag. I use this all the time. it doesn't work!! what's going on???

I've had this problem before as well. After trying to duplicate it though I was unable to blame it on any one thing for certain. I usually run my mac with many open programs and Entourage is one of them for my email so that's the only "microsoft" product I had open. Do you still have ai Ver10 on your machine? I can't say for certain but it has now happened twice and the only commonality was that I had to open a file (old one for art pickups) in ver 10. After opening the file and saving etc I went into CS3 CS2 CS and my spacebar was not working as you describe. I closed all apps and restarted CS3 and it came back. I didn't find deleting the prefs made any difference and I even applejacked my machine but again, no difference.
I would like to hear from others that have experienced this strange issue and what they've been able to find out.

Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History?

Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History? This very annoying.

Seriously - what could they have possibly been thinking? Mozilla, please tell us this was some kind of mistake. Accessing our bookmarks in FF-mobile is just plain bad as a user experience. And now without "Open In New Tab" we are supposed to drill down to our bookmarks for every tab we want to open? FF-mobile is almost useless without "Open In New Tab". Please restore "Open In New Tab" for bookmarks, thanks.

Why did they take away the playlist feature for movies and tv shows?

The subject line pretty much sums it up but does anyone know why they took it away? It was seriously the greatest thing ever with my kid's tv shows. I could just turn on the playlist and they could watch a few episodes back to back without having to mess with the remote.

I don't think they have.
A recent software update may have reset your Settings which by default is playlists only for music.
Check AppleTV Setting menus and enable playlists for all not just music.
Let me know if you can't find the setting in the menu.

Did they take out the free section, you know where they might offer a free episode/song/video/etc in one spot (or at least did they for Canada)? I can find the english song of the week, but that is it...

Nevermind. For some reason it loaded wrong/poorly/? It was back after I closed itunes down and re-opened it.
Thanks though

Why did you take away the Mitch emoji

WWhy did you take away the Mitch emoji. I am so disappointed. The emojis are yellow too! Are you trying to go for the Simpsons? Ugh.i

Mitch didn't like being an emoji.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically. <br />
You can use '''Firefox''' button > '''History > Restore Previous Session''' to get the previous session. <br />
There is also a '''Restore Previous Session''' button on the default '''about:home''' Home page.

Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

I can not read the minds of the Adobe engineers or Marketing people. Nesting a sequence is not much more trouble than applying an effect.
If you are creating a PIP, then a nested sequence is probably your solution. If you are not nesting, scale and crop, then put a white matte under it.
This is not a great place for asking questions that have no answers outside of internal Adobe decisions. This is, however, a great place to get workarounds.

Illustrator CC 2014 - spacebar hand tool shortcut not working, how can I fix this?

The hand tool is not being temporally activated by the spacebar in Illustrator CC 2014.
I've restarted, deleted preferences, nothing seems to work.
I’m pretty sure it was working when I first installed the new version - just stopped for no reason.

MB&B,
Item 7) under 5) in this list shows the usual suspects.
You may also consider trying some of the other options on the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Spacebar/hand tool shortcut no longer working

Hi,
I almost constantly use the hand tool toggle shortcut of the space bar in Illustrator. Today I've turned on my work machine and for some unknown reason that shortcut no longer works. When I try to set it up again (it's reverted to H and is no longer toggling, it just turns the hand tool on which is useless to me really) it tells me that 'the key pressed cannot be used as a shortcut'.
What's going on?

Sounds like a corruption or conflict.
Have you installed any new software of any kind including fonts?
have you updated any software of any kind?
have you launched recently software that you have noyt used previously?
Have you tried to create a new user account and logging into that account to see if it happens with a fresh user account?
If creating a new user accounts eliminates the prblem than you have some conflict or corruption could be your settings folder.
It would be helpful if you give us some information about your system and hardware.
Here is how clear out your preferences
Mac
1. Quit Illustrator.
2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS# Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
PC
1. Quit Illustrator.
2. Rename the AIPrefs file (for example, to AIPrefs.old) in the Users/(user)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS# Settings folder.
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

Why did Apple take away the ability to shuffle videos?

A firmware update about a year ago took this feature from my 5th gen video iPod; I was hoping other iPods didn't suffer from the same affliction, but lo and behold, my 3rd gen Nano does the same thing. If you set Shuffle to "Songs" or "Albums", the iPod will only play one video in a playlist, then stop. If you turn Shuffle off, and put Repeat to "All" you can play all the videos in a playlist, but only in order.
Can anyone think of a way around this, short of manually doing the shuffle yourself in iTunes? Or alternatively, anyone know how to contact Apple techs and get this feature put back?
Thanks
Paul

Spacebar Hand tool shortcut

not working in Illustrator or Photoshop. This is a new iMac. Help!!

Hi Mr. Smith,
Sorry but I don't think Tommy D made a mistake asking here.. I have a similar problem and, since it affects different programs of Adobe Creative Cloud on Mac system, I'm loosing a lot of time searching for the right answer through singular application's forums. Still with no luck.
Because Adobe Communities lacks of a "General Mac System's related Technical Problems" forum (or maybe I'm not so skilled to find it), could you be more specific instead of suggesting a too general starting point?
I believe this is the aim of a "community"... People helps people.
Thank you so much.

Spacebar hand tool not working in PSCS5

I have a brand new imac intel i7 27" and have installed photoshop cs5, but the spacebar hand tool is not working. any ideas?
the hand tool and all other tools work, just the shortcut key of holding the spacebar doesn't work.
Thanks,

It's not specifically the browsers, methinks.
I was running Chrome side by side with Photoshop CS5 and it worked fine until I used the Anesidora extension on my chrome. I disabled it and turned Chrome back on and my spacebar shortcut came back!
Too bad no Pandora along with your work...

CS6 spacebar/hand tool scroll no longer shows the desktop scrolling

Just got CS6, and spacebar/hand tool scroll no longer shows the desktop scrolling, it only shows the rulers moving and I have to use my imagination to know if my scroll/pan is taking me where I want to be. What's up with that? I really need to see where my scroll is taking me.

I ve already restarted it twice hoping that would be the issue but still won't work

Issues with Photoshop CS4 and Spacebar/Hand tool

I am pretty sure this is not the other hand tool problem I have read about. What happens is when I want to move around a document I click the spacebar to get the hand tool, in previous versions of PS i could do this and when I let go of the spacebar the cursor goes back to the previous tool I was using. In cs4 it doesn't go back to the previous tool unless I hit the spacebar again. This also hinders my zooming in and zooming out, I have to click the space bar let go and then click either the ctrl or alt button alone to zoom. It used to be that i could hit space+ctrl and let go and it would go to the previous tool.
I have PS cs4 on WinXp. I have checked every place i could in the prefs and in the keyboard shortcuts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is really hindering my workflow.

That is a good idea, but the keyboard is fairly new and I didn't have a problem with this on cs3 last week with the same keyboard.
It could have just become noticeable!
Other than that you could experiment with different setting in OpenGL or look at keyboard repeat rate in the Control Panel applet.
