Glitchy cursor and tool selection problems

Hello all,
I recently updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro AND OS X Yosemite. Today I opened Premiere for the first time since the update and started editing.
Upon editing I began to realize that every time I try to make an edit buy using the razor tool, or any tool for that matter the mouse glitches.
For example: When I try and grad the end of a clip and drag, the cursor bounces between the red arrow and my mouse cursor. Does that make sense?
Also, when I have ANY tool selected it shows my mouse cursor in stead of the icon for the tool. And when I have the selection tool selected to drag a clip it is selecting the rolling edit tool, or the ripple edit tool making it almost impossible to make the edits that I need.
So, my question is, Is this a Premiere Pro bug or a Mac bug? And can I go about fixing this somehow?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I did just find out that the new hard drive that was put into my computer (i needed more space) is a hybrid. Is this going to be a big factor to these problems? Both me and the other co-worker have hybrid hard drives.

    That is indeed unfortunate. You will need to order a recovery disk set from HP or an HP Partnet. Here is how to order a recovery disk set.

  • Photoshop CS5 Pen tool Selection problem?

    I've been using photoshop for a while, and have never encountered this problem. I've had CS5 for about a year now and this is the first time it has done this, so hopefully someone can help me!
    When I open photoshop, everything works. I make a new layer, go to use the pen tool,  make my shape and then complete it, and the line solidifies showing its a complete shape. I right click, and select the option: Make Selection.
    Instead of turning the inside of the shape into the selected part, it selects everything outside of it!
    I can't for the life of me figure out how this started happening, as it didn't do it a few days ago. I must have hit a button or something, but its still very annoying. Hopefully someone can help! Restarting both the program and the computer, does not help.

    There's a button for that up in the options area, when a Path Tool is active.    It's been a while...  Ah, here:
    I'm betting you have the one next to it pressed.
    Look at your path icons in the PATHS panel.  If they're white inside, you're creating an enclosed path.  If they're gray inside with a white surround, you're removing a path from the surroundings.

  • Indesign CS6 tool selection problem

    I can't select tools within indesign CS6 on my Macbook pro retina, running windows 7 via bootcamp. I have tried deleting preferences which had no effect. Any ideas?

    Thank you Peter, that was the problem, everything is working perfectly now.

  • Tool selection problem

    I do not understand why whenever I go to select the rectangle/polygon(or other similar tools) sometimes-in the options bar-the path functions(subtract from area, add to shape area etc) are NOT available.
    The one who is always available is the "create new shape layer".
    What might be the cause of the above problem?

    This can happen when no layer is selected, e.g. when pressing with move tool on any pixel on the background layer. It is observed on all photoshops, CS2 for example.

  • Wheel of Fortune cursor and frozen computer problem

    every so often I see the cursor change to a "Colorful Wheel of Fortune" and I am prevented from doing anything with my computer. Can anyone tell me what this form of the cursor means and what causes it? The only fix I can find is to hold the power button down long enough to cause a shutdown and then turn the computer back on again.

    Hi SandyMurphy, welocme to the discussion forums. Your wheel of fortune is well known as SBBOD "spinning beachball of death." Your computer is bogging down and not responding, duh. Many question: new machine old machine, how much ram, 10-15% free harddrive space??? Without knowing the details, as a first step you can open "DiskUtility" and repair permissions to see if this helps. A hard shut down like you mention of course is a last resort, and does not solve the problem. You can read more here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sbbod.html

  • Gpib and interface select problem

    Hi,
    Max gives me the following:
    -primary address: 7
    -secondary address: none
    -gpib interface number: 1
    If I try to communicate with the instrument in labview using the the gpib write.vi with "1: 7" as the address string I get error 30.
    Why?
    However writing to the instrument in Max is no problem.
    Bye.

    Change your address string to "1:7", instead of "1: 7".

  • Having a problem with Firefox using Hotmail email. Inbox - as checking messages it freezes up or a 1 item window follows cursor and does not allow you to enter

    I am having a problem accessing Hotmail email messages via Fireflox server. When I am in the Inbox, reviewing messages, it either freezes up or a "1 item" small icon window follows cursor and does not allow me to enter messages or do anything. Have to log off and start over. Suggestions>?

    Can you detect any pattern to it, whether related to messages with attachments, or particular advertising on the page, etc.?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    (Usually the dialog will refer to live.com rather than hotmail.com, that's normal.)
    Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?

  • On an iMac I can't enter any text in safari or Firefox header bar. In all my program's I just have the arrow cursor and can't change to any tools in the tool bars - please help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Problems with cursor and shortcuts when using JNLP services on MAC OS X

    After invoking the JNLP services on a MAC I loose the ability to set the cursor and invoke keyboard shortcuts. On Windows this is not a problem, so I believe it is a bug and I have reported it to Apple. Meanwhile, I would appreciate if someone could help me with finding a work-around. To identify the problem run the following code with Java Web Start (i.e., you need to add the program to a jar and launch it using a JNLP script). You also need to include the javax.jnlp package.
    Observe that the cursor changes to cross-hairs when entering the circle. After invoking the Open file menu item, the cursor does not change any longer. Shortcut key do not work either, but if you open the menu and close it again without selecting any of the menu items, the shortcuts are OK again.

    Barbara, Thanks very much taking the time to respond to my posting. Your input and directions were just what I needed.I accessed the print settings in the pull down menu, setup the print options including the color profile for Elements and the Printer to sRGB, and printed my picture. This resolved all the invalid color problems I was having, but I did notice that there was a hint of magenta overall in the picture. I had read an article that said to use Canon Color Matching instead of Color Sync to prevent that but I couldn't make that change in the pull down menu. I tried in the Presets dialog box but that didn't appear to be possible. Should I make that change as well?
    Also, in my travels through Elements 13 I notice under Edit->Color Settings that there were options for No Color Mgmt, Optimize for Screen, for Printing, or ability to chose one or the other (real time I assume). How do those options fit into this scenario?
    Thanks again

  • I want to get rid of the Bing screen but there is no "menu at the top of the Firefox window" for me to "select Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item. "

    I suddenly have a "Bing" screen when I sign onto Firefox---and I want to get rid of it. The support section of Firefox says
    1. "From the menu at the top of the Firefox window, seledt Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item."---but I see no "menu item" nor Tools, much less Add-ons.
    2. "In the Add-ons window, click on the Extensions panel."---but how do I find the Add-ons window?
    3. Find the Bing Bar and Search Helper Extension in the list and click Disable for each of them."---but what and where exactly is that?
    At the top of the screen is only a Yahoo icon on the left and to the right of it a search box, "Web Search,", "My Apps," Yellow Pages," "Weather," "Updates," and "Skype." to the right of those there is a green cross saying "Add more apps. to your toolbar" and to the right of that a sort of gear shift looking icon saying "toobar settings."
    So, in short, how do I get rid of the Bing screen and how do I access those Tools?
    Thanks.

    To get rid of Bing Search Window..............
    Click on View tab / Tools and un-check 'Search' (alias for 'Bing')

    In current Firefox releases the search bar on the about:home page and the about:newtab page have an autocomplete=off attribute that prevents Firefox from saving form data and now show search suggestions just like you get on the regular Google search page.

    When opening Bridge (CS6) I get the following message: "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation" I tried and after selecting purge cache it does not allow me to select OK. Also Bridge keeps saying "Building Criteria" with the spinning wheel and nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Please help:)

    Maybe a Preferences reset can help:
    Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
    Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
    Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.  
    In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:  
      Reset Preferences 
    Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
    Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
    Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
    Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.
