Fixed Ratio not working CS5

I am trying to set my Ratio to a fixed amount for my Marqee tool. I have switched to Fixed Ratio, and I enter 8.5 hit tab, and it should come up as 8.5 in, but it does not. So I actually tried to type in after the 8.5, but when I tab over to set the next field it erases the in. I thought okay, maybe it doesn't show as inches, but it will still set my fixed ratio, and I started to draw out my square. Nope I can make it any size it did not set the ratio. I can not figure out how to get it to read inches automically, or inches at all. Can someone help?

You probably want to use the fixed size option.

  • Space Bar Hand Move & CMD-Space Zoom Not Working-CS5

    Today, all of a sudden, two of my most used functions—holding down the space bar to move the image around and holding down CMD-space bar to zoom—just up and quit on me (I do like the "Scrubby" but it took a little getting used to. It's very touch screen-esque).
    I did all of the normal trouble shooting such as deleting the prefs, relaunching, restarting, etc. Nothing. The functions work fine in the other CS5 programs.
    Anybody else come across this? I checked through all of the prefs thinking that perhaps I accidentally changed something but I couldn't find anything. If all else fails, I'll do an uninstall/reinstall but only as a last resort.
    I did notice that Adobe finally fixed the Distort (in Full Screen Mode) bug that was killing me in CS4.
    Thanks for any help.

    I don't believe it but I think that I finally found the culprit: hulu (the desktop app, not through a browser).
    To make sure, I rebooted, launched PS, Flash, and InDesign, and then fired up every app that I could think of, one by one, testing each time, leaving hulu for last. Sure enough, it was not until I got to hulu that the space bar hand/zpom stopped working. And then I went one by one, quitting each app, testing each time, again leaving hulu till the last. Sure enough again, the space bar continued not working until I quit hulu, the very last app that I had running (aside from CS5 and system processes).
    Please, please do not tell me that there is a conflict between CS5 and hulu's utilization of Flash! That would just make Mad Dog Jobs' a happy camper. (I am a big supporter of Flash on the iPad).
    What a relief. Except how am I now going to watch my TV shows while working???
    In regards to browser conflicts, I have had none with Safari, Firefox, or Chrome.
    Adobe, I hope that this information helps. Let me know if you need any info screen capped.

  • Sqlite3_wal_checkpoint "fix" is not working!

    For the past few iTunes updates I've been getting either the ever-so-frequent error message, "sqlite3_prepare_V2...not found". The "fix" for that is quick and simple.  Well with the 10.5 update, I've been getting a new error message, "sqlite3_wal_checkpoint...not found." This "fix" requires me to uninstall iTunes and other items then re-start and re-install. Well....IT'S NOT WORKING! As a matter of fact, its got worse! Not only does the error message pop up during a restart but it pops up 3 TIMES! I'm getting very tired of this and I could use a solution.
    Do you think if I uninstalled the products then restart in safe mode, then re-install iTunes and the other items in safe mode, would fix the problem?

    I have the exact same problem.  So frustrated with itunes already.  It's been a month since this error occurred.  Someone please help!!

  • Spacebar to toggle Hand Tool is not working (CS5)

    In InDesign, using the spacebar to toggle the Hand Tool stops working.
    When it stops working in InDesign, it also stops in Photoshop and Illustrator.
    If I close the applications, and restart the machine - this combination starts working again, however after a while it stops working again.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated - you don't realize how much you use this 'til it goes away!

    ===============================
    iMac 27" / 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB Ram
    OS X 10.6.5

    Okay, so I think I might be able to help. I'm not a tech expert, but I had this issue today. It only started happening after I had an new hard drive put in, at which point a new internet security program was installed on my computer. Before this program was on my machine, this "temporary hand tool with the use of the space bar in Adobe CS products not working" problem did not occur. So, I figured it had to do with upgrading from OS 10.6 to OS 10.7 or with Webroot {the internet security program}, since those were really the only things that changed from pre- hard drive crash to post- hard drive crash. When I was poking around Webroot, I noticed there was a "Pause Secure Keyboard Entry" button to choose. Seeing that word "keyboard" was the lightbulb moment. Coupled with the comment above from Larry G. Schneider...
    It's a Mac OS security bit which blocks the modifier keys from working if there is an open port which has access. It's supposed to prevent malware from executing system events.
    I figured that my Webroot {which is meant to prevent malware and such} was overriding certain keyboard functions to prevent malware from detecting my keyed entries in place that could breech security on my machine.
    So, I decided to try turning that pause button on... and sure enough, my temporary space bar hand tool came back. That is the only thing that worked. Not quitting out of Chrome. I suspect the reason for that is because Webroot was still operating outside of my Chrome application being open and active. So, for those who were able to get it to work again by quitting Chrome {or Safari, Firefox, etc... any of the above mentioned}, perhaps in quitting out, it was automatically quitting some other type of security extension that is loaded in the browser that does not work independently of the browser, but only when the browser is open. Quitting the browser would quit the security extension that was preventing keystroke detection and securing keyboard entry.
    Apparently, this could also be turned on in Terminal {something I discovered by researching my problem and finding an article about it}. See screen capture below.
    So, if it can also be turned on there, I imagine it's something that comes with several applications or extensions. If you are experiencing this problem, my suggestion is to find out if there is somewhere on your machine, in some running program, where this security is turned on, and then try turning it off to see if you got your hand tool back. It worked immediately for me after having tried many other things. This might also explain why it's only a temporary fix for some... why it returns, because the default of that program that has the security {Secure Keyboard Entry} is to be on. The nice thing about Webroot is that the button to pause it is always available up in my top menu bar by the date and time on my mac, under the Webroot icon. I can pause it whenever I'm in InDesign {which is where I was experiencing the "bug"}, and then unpause it when I'm not using InDesign to restart that added measure of security.
    Hope this helps a lot of people with this issue. I don't seem to have found a solid answer on any forum, but this seems pretty thorough to me. Interested in finding out if others are helped by these same steps. I hope so. And if so, I hope that more applications will make it more obvious so that people don't have to dig around so much. For instance, it would be nice if Adobe saw it as a known and fixable issue and provided documentation about it... what to do or check if it happens to you... so that people won't have to hunt around as much as I did {although, that part was kind of fun and I felt pretty smart and accomplished afterward... even knew the fix when talking to a Geeksquad guy while he was not aware of the problem nor did he have any idea what to suggest}. For me, it was beyond frustrating, because I use that function in InDesign ALL the time. Hopefully Adobe will put something about this in their Help. Perhaps it's already there?? I just know I didn't find anyt
    Anyway, just goes to show how much these forums help. Without this thread, I might not have thought twice about the "Pause Secure Keyboard Entry" button when I saw it.
    Hope everyone gets a permanent solution to this problem!

  • Motion tween not working - CS5

    I created a symbol, placed it on the timeline, made a copy and moved it to another place on the timeline, clicked in the middle and selected motion tween. It shows a motion tween on my timeline, but when I move the playhead, there is no animation, just a start state and an end state. Help, please!

    should only be the symbol on that layer, there should be no other object, be careful, a single point can do not work
    If you copy the symbol in the time line then use "Create Classic Tween"
    to use "Create Motion Tween" just right click on the frame in the timeline (without copying anything in the timeline) and select "Create Motion Tween", position the playhead at the frame you want and move the position of symbol

  • ITunes Store Crashes Windows 8.1 | QTMovieWin.dll fix did NOT work

    I am running iTunes 11.1.3 on Windows 8.1 64 bit. iTunes and the iTunes Store worked prior to my upgrade to from Windows 8 to 8.1. Every time I attempt to access the iTunes Store or anything associated with it, iTunes crashes. I have tried the QTMovieWin.dll fix by thurdy, which failed to work. I have also attempted booting iTunes into safe mode, loading iTunes under another user in Windows, and have checked for third-party plug-ins. None of this has worked. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Aspect ratio not working properly, and also, my final dvd has wierd ghosting

    Hi,
    I just can't seem to make a project work with encore. It's very touchy it seems. I have several videos that I tried to put together in a dvd, but I was having problems with the aspect ratio. Even when I used "Interpret Footage", the videos would incorrectly scale, most of the time to 4:3. At first they would look fine, but after transcoding, they would distort and sometimes be cropped on the 16:9 timeline I was using, or sometimes they would pop to 4:3 with black bars on the side.
    It seems Encore NEVER gets what kind of video I'm using, even when I manually set the PAR in the Interpret Footage dialog.
    So my solution was to bring everything into After Effects, render it back out as uncompressed AVI and use encore to make a dvd image which I then burned. My settings for this movie were 720x480 with a 1.2 PAR. The wierd thing is, I rendered two movies out in this way, Encore understood that one of them should be widescreen, but not the other. What gives?
    I still had to do some tricks in Encore to get it to understand that these should be widescreen movies, and when I finally got them transcoded and looking right in my 16:9 timeline, I made an image. Then I burned it. Then I looked at it on a tv and I swear, every piece of text and or image had haloing on it.
    Can someone tell me if this is a problem in my workflow? Encore is so confusing, I just want to know what the best method to making a simple dvd is. I don't want menus or any of that, just a dvd that loops. I can make one, but the quailty sucks. can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance,
    Stan

    I think I'm onto something. I exported form After Effects as an Mpeg2-DVD so I end up with
    *.m2v files.
    I had set those in AE to be 16:9 aspect and when I imported them into Encore they popped right into my 16:9 timeline with no problems. and the final build went way easier too, way faster.
    Then I looked at my dvd on the tv and it still didn't look so great. But when I compared it with similar dvds that others had done, theirs had jagged edges on text as well and I thought, is this because I'm using Standard Definition?
    I'm very new to this, so maybe I'm expecting too much. My images on the dvd play back fine on the TV, but the text doesn't look great.
    Also, maybe I'm not sure how best to set up my video. When I play my movie back on the TV (A Samsung) and I select the pictures size of 4:3, my video is centered with black all around, but it's 16:9. I have to hit P Size two more times taking the TV first to 'widescreen' (which makes my image look stretched), then to zoom which makes my image fill the TV screen. I think some of my quality issues have to do with this scaling. Is there a way to make my dvd fit the full screen on 4:3 aspect on the TV?
