Drag with alt

Hi! I have a problem with illustrator. When I try to drag an object with alt to copy, I get a text field. Content of the text depends on the number of items and points.

aint,
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):
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.

Photoshop Liquify Brush Size increase/decrease with alt+crtl drag don't work anymore...

Hi :-)
I have installed the last Update to Photoshop CS6 13.0.4...
Now I can't increase/decrease the Brush Size in the Liquify-Dialog anymore (before I installed the update, it works fine with alt+crtl and drag)...
If I press alt+crtl, the "Cancel"-Button is shown as "Revert", but the Brush resizing don't work... :-/
I use a Mac on OS X 10.6.8...
But it seems it has to do with the system... beacause at home I use 10.8.3 and there works everything fine with the 13.0.4 Update!!!

Problem with ALT codes on Apple Wired Keyboard

May I just note, I have posted this in the "Boot Camp" forum, but run the normal Windows 7 on my computer. I was unable to find a forum purely for Apple hardware.
I am using a Apple Wired Keyboard (MB110B/B) -- British-bought -- on a Windows 7 PC, and I are having some issues with ALT codes. The array of symbols I have to type (pi, sigma, etc) becomes tiresome to insert via the Character Map (on Win7). Basically, entering "alt" (left handside) then 227 does not insert "π" but rather "Ò". alt + 228 (Σ) inserts õ
I don't know if this problem is common for Apple keyboard users on Windows, but is there a way to alter this.
Thanks, Jordan.

For a third opinion, be cautious of using a dishwasher as the temperature can get pretty high. If the spill is on the 456 on the number pad, you can try holding the keyboard vertically, soak just that part in distilled water for several minutes to disolve the spill material. Run some denatured (rubbing) alcohol over the numpad, then dry with a hair dryer.
You could also try to remove the key caps...slip dental floss under the key caps in two loops, one from the top one from the bottom. Pull the key caps off one at a time, the wipe the area clean...see if there is any material sticking that needs to be cleaned off.
I do not know what keyboard you have or how it does the switching, but most keyboards today do not use mechanical switches. The switches are sealed capacitance switches so if you clean all the material from the keyboard it may work again.
Or, if you don't feel like going to this much trouble, a visit to your friendly Apple Retailer to purchase a new one may be a good idea.

Cant click and drag with one finger, but works with 3 fingers

Last week, my trackpad starts to fail. Thing is that i can't click and drag with one finger but if i turn on the 3 finges option, i can tap and drag without a problem Check the prefs, universal access too. And everything is ok.
Reset pram, smc , run & fix permissions but nothing.
Looking around the internet i found a possible hint and is related to a bad battery condition. But that post talks a physical defective battery. Mine last like 2 hours.Under the battery icon in the finder it saids tha should be replace soon. Macbook pro late 2008. 4 gb ram , 500 gb hd, 10.7.3
Any suggestions??

It sounds like an accessibility feature, although I'm not 100% sure. You can explore the accessibility settings if you like, or for a quick fix you can try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.

I'm trying to drag with the wireless mouse. But the item i'm dragging is copied instead of moved

I'm trying to drag with a wireless mouse. But the item i'm dragging gets copied in the new location instead of moved to the new location.

If you drag to another folder it moves. If you drag to another disk, it copies.
This can be modified by certain control keys:
Command key while dragging
Move dragged item to other volume/location (pointer icon changes while key is held--see this article)
Option key while dragging
Copy dragged item (pointer icon changes while key is held--see this article)
Option-Command key combination while dragging
Make alias of dragged item (pointer icon changes while key is held--see this article)

Why i am unable to select between 2 anchor points with in a object while dragging with direct select

why i am unable to select between 2 anchor points with in a object while dragging with direct selection tool instead it moves

Another option is to temporarily change your view to outline mode, when your done switch back to preview mode. Ctrl-Y or View>Outline {View>Preview} The menu option will change depending on which mode you are in.
And another option, double click on the object in question to place it in Isolation mode. You can now edit to your hearts content. When done, click on the gray border at top of document.
So as you can see there are multiple ways of accomplishing the same thing.

Quit Application with "Alt+F4" or "X"-Button

I have created an application with LabWindows/CVI 5.0. To quit the application
I have created a Callback Function which takes care of it. My problem is
now that I'd like also to shut down the application the "standard" windows
way with "Alt+F4" or the little "X" in the application bar. This does not
seem to work and I can not find any information how to do that.
Any help is kindly appreciated
thanks in advance
ps: my OS is: WinNt 4.0 (SP5, Build 1381)

oh well,
few minutes after i had posted my first message i found the solution :-)
so here is it:
specify a callback function for the main-panel itself. the auto-create the
code for this panel callback. delete all the events you are not interested
in and give the code for the "close-event".
that's it - thanks for reading both messages

Illustrator 2014 CC crashes (while dragging with selection tool)

What could be wrong?
Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.1.1
Mac OSX 10.10.1
Font Explorer X Pro 3.5.4 (plugin not installed for Illustrator CC)
I don't have any 3rd party plugins as far as I can tell
I've tried restarting the app, restarting the computer, clearing preferences, closing the laptop lid, closing other apps, removing plugins, etc. Restarting the computer actually worked for a few minutes, but then it started crashing again.
To reproduce:
1. Create a new file or open existing.
2. Create a square.
3. Drag with the selection tool.
4. App crashes.
I've seen many other threads with the same problem, but none of them were solved.
Here is my crash log: https://cldup.com/ng5G7dhTF0.txt

Dave,
The issue may very well be caused by the Chrome Pushbullet extension, see this post #3 by Matt with the solution:

Problem with alt+tab

On kdemod-legacy & kdemod-unstable alt+tab doesn't work since the upgrade to the new xorg server, i fixed the cursor keys problem now i can toggle only between 2 windows with alt+tab (and it doesn't show the windowlist)

That's more like a porblem with kwin, not xorg - check the settings there first.

Dragging with path or direct selection too leaves outline

I'm experiencing this incredibly annoying behavior in PS over the past 10 days. Dragging with a selection tool (or shape tools) used apply a thin dotted outline only when the mouse was depressed—very helpful for knowing what area would be selected. Now I don't see that outline until I release the mouse button (or stylus) at which point the outline persists (see attached screenshot). The behavior is sometimes corrected with a restart, other times not.
I'm on a macbook pro 2.4GHz with 16GB of RAM running 10.8.2 and CS6 13.1.2 x64 Extended.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you see the problem go away with the GPU turned off, then try turning it back on then go through the three different advanced options (Mode: Basic, Normal, Advanced). It could be you can have GPU-acceleration and proper display updates at the same time, but not with the mode you had it on before.
Make sure you fully Quit and restart Photoshop after making any of the GPU settings changes.

Trouble recreating a 'Double Drag' with a snare part in Logic.

I've been having trouble recreating a 'Double Drag' with a snare part in Logic. I created a snare part using a mapped style. I added 2 - 1/16 note duple, highlighted the notes, went to 'Attributes>Independent>Independent Grace' and I wanted to see 2 - separate 1/16 notes, but it only displays 1 - 1/8 note. Is there a step I'm missing? I'm trying to follow the steps in page 703 on the Logic 8 User Manual.
Any response would be helpful.
Thanks,
Paul (and Danny from the Apple Store North Michigan Avenue)

Did you consider this?

Photoshop CC - Zooming with "ALT"

1-2 Weeks earlier, my Photoshop work'd with no problems, but now, when i want to zoom in with ALT + Mouse Wheel but Photoshop always switch's when im pushing "ALT" to the menu. I got the standard-configuration. Does someone know, how to fix it? I need this zoom realy.

I wonder if something is off with the zoom tool? You can try resetting it.
Just select the zoom tool, right click and choose Reset Tool to see if it goes to its' normal behavior.
Another possibility is "focus" If I click outside the image, alt selects the menu. If I click inside the image, alt modifies the zoom tool.

X220 touchpad, Can't right click drag with more than one stroke

1. Put cursor over a file or folder on the desktop.
2. Hold the lower right corner of the touchpad (embedded right button)
3. Drag with another finger (either hand)
4. Lift off the dragging finger to reposition, then touch again, and it lets go of the icon, returning it to the original position. (This means I'm not accidentally lifting off the right button. If I was doing that, the icon would remain where I moved it to.
There are 3 ways to keep it from doing this:
a. Use the right hard button above the pad.
b. Press the touchpad button below the bend along the lower edge (As close to the edge as possible.
c. Insulate the button pressing finger from the pad with folded paper, or press with a pencil eraser.
b and c above show that it's the presence of a touch in the active area above the lower edge bend, This touch, plus another touch being initiated in any other area of the pad interrupts the drag operation.
The "tap and drag" settings have no effect on this.
I just received the machine today after a 1 month order wait, and this is frustating enough to make me want to send it back. As-is, it's nearly impossible to do right-click moves using the right pad button. It becomes a 2-handed operation, one to hold the upper right button, and the other to do the dragging.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ok.
Control panel, "Programs and Features" Uninstalled Thinkpad Untranav Utility and driver items.
Rebooted. Confirmed that these applications ar eno longer present.
Checked Device Manager, under Mice and Pointing Devices. All it shows there is "PS/2 compatible Mouse"
Results:
1. Right click with touchpad right switch now generates a right click.
2. Left, and right click drags with the touchpad lower switches now work, but there is a tendency for the finger touch to move the cursor off target before the press is completed.
Suggestion to Synaptics.
When pressing one of the touchpad switches, there will always be a finger touch on the touchpad sensing surface first, which will probably have a negative effect.
To avoid this, any initial touch in the lower left or right areas should be ignored, and any cursor motion generated by that touch should be undone as soon as the switch closes.
Downloaded latest driver and utility.
Installing driver (15.3.6.0 / 6hgx40ww) first, and restart.
Result for driver reinstall:
1. Right click with touchpad right switch works
2. Right click multiple swipe drag works.
3. Left click drag works, but ONLY if the clicking finger is touching the active area of the pad. If you click too close to the edge, or use an object to press the switch, then the switch closure itself is not recognized. The same issue exists for right clicks.
Actually the behavior seems to be reversed now, You MUST have a finger touch in the areas that prevented movement earlier to register the click event, If you press the switch too high, or too low, or with an object, such as pencil eraser, then there's no click.
So, with the new driver. I get acceptable dragging action as long as my finger isn't too far out of position.
However, doing things like dragging a scrollbar with these buttons is still very frustrating, since the cursor tends to move off target before the switch closes. This can be avoided by bringing the finger down onto the pad very quickly, to close the switch before any movement takes place. A slow press will almost always move the cursor before the click.
Installing the utility (7VGQ14WW) next.
Still works, and the initial lag when trying to drag things is now gone.
So, aside for the cursor to move while clicking, I'd say the problem was fixed by the new driver.
Thanks for the fast responses, and to the driver devs for fixing it this quickly.

Dragging with 3 fingers is horrid. What happened to double tap & drag?

With the previos OS version I could swipe with 3 fingers to go back and forth on pages and applications and the finder, then if I want to drag something I could just double tap with one finger and drag an item. Easy and simple.
With Mountain Lion, only way to drag with the trackpad is to hold down the physical trackpad button and drag which is kind of a pain to do, especially since my button on my 2010 Mackbook Pro doesn't seem to work as well as it should...or use 3 fingers to drag which doesn't give you as much room to navigate on the trackpad as with one finger. The main problem with doing this is that I can't go back and forth on apps/finder/etc with the 3 finger swipe because if I turn on 3 finger drag it turns that option off. So I'm stuck without going back and forth by swiping in apps which I always used and stuck with a more unfriendly 3 finger drag.
What happened to the double tap and drag? It made things so much easier. Or am I missing an option for that somewhere? Why on earth would apple remove something like that? It's a feature I expect to use both on Mac and Windows.

Thanks so much to jeffyg3, I finally found the answer to this!
System Preferences>Accessibility>Mouse & Trackpad>Trackpad Options.
Enable dragging ON: choose from menu "without drag lock".
