Glitchy mouse activity in photoshop

Hello,
I am experiencing issues in Photoshop, where my mouse/arrow flickers back & forth constantly between whatever tool I am using and the black arrow. It is only in Photoshop that this seems to be happening. I have also tried using my wacom instead of my mouse and it is still happening. Please help!
Thank you!
Christine

Thanks for the quick reply Noel.
Nothing has been installed on the PC in last 3 months. Problem started yesterday.
No hardware changes in 8 months.
I have not changed anything in the BIOS.
No bad power restart.
The whole system is only 8 months old.
I have checked the Event Log and there is nothing evident.
This ONLY happens with Photoshop. No problems with any of my other programs including ImageReady and Premiere. This indicates to me that it is a problem with Photoshop specifically.
Thanks
Copey

Can I have a decreased / cheaper monthly priced membership for some time, by keeping active only Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC and Acrobat?

Hello, and good evening from Athens, Greece.
I would like to ask a question concerning my CC membership.
I’ve started 1 and a half year ago by paying 29,99 € for the entire CC (all programs). Now, it’s 49,99 € and I’m having a really difficult time to keep it this way. I’m living in a country which is in the middle of crisis and my profession as a graphic designer, is not an exception to reduced spendings on advertising.
My question is, can I have a decreased / cheaper monthly priced membership for some time, by keeping active only Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC and Acrobat? I don’t need for now the other apps. Can I have a membership plan only for those applications? I would very much appreciate your respond, a help and a solution to my issue.
Thank you very much.
Michael.
P.S. Forgot to tell, that I have a purchased Design Standard CS3 Suite. If this helps.

No... there is a special Photography plan

Activation of photoshop cs2

I am trying to activate a copy of Adobe Photoshop CS2 and when I select activate it tells me that the activation server is not available. When I try to call the phone number to activate it, the number is no longer valid. I need assistance activating my Photoshop licensing please. Please contact me at 312-781-1610. Thank you.

Hi Adam,
The activation server for CS2 products is no longer available. You need to download and use the serial number from the below article.

Possible to have mouse activated slider with buttons for selection

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has/is or if this can be dome easy enough....
For example, instead of placing a row of buttons on the bottom of the template, instead, is it possibloe to have a mouse activated slider that the buttons are on and is activated when the mouse hovers over it.....?
Hope that explanation is clear enough...;-)
Cheers

Captivate 7 has an option to show playbar on hover. It becomes available when you select Overlay Playbar. But this only applies to the standard skins that come with Captivate. It won't help your specific need to have a set of buttons appear on hover over a hit area.
It should be possible to do what you want. But you'll need to group the buttons, give the group a name, create separate advanced actions that apply a fly-in and fly out effect to the group, then execute these actions via an event. In your case you want the event to occur as a result of a rollover and rollout on a hit area.
Captivate's slidelet object has a rollover event, but no rollout event you can use.
The only way I know to have both rollover and rollout events is to use the Infosemantics Event Handler widget:

Activation of Photoshop Elements 11

I have a problem with the activation of Photoshop Elements. After two reinstallations of my computer on the same day I can't activate now. It shows me everytime that I should buy a licences. But I have a licence for my Photoshop Elements 11.
What can I do to activate the licences.

You need activation support:

After reinstalling Photoshop CS6 Bridge is very slow. It takes 15 sec to respond to a mouse click. Photoshop is OK.

I had to reinstall Photoshop CS6 after rebuilding my PC. Now Bridge takes 15 sec to respond to a mouse click. Photoshop is fine. I have installed all updates.
Any thoughts?

Slow as compared to what? Have you seen better performance with older versions of Photoshop?
>after app launched, it takes nearly 5 seconds to be able to browse through menus
Takes my system longer than that to start Photoshop CS5, and while my computer isn't a top-of-the-line workstation today (it was a few years ago), it's no slouch. Photoshop has never been a fast application to start up.

When validating, activating my photoshop 13 i get the message internet not active, checked internet is ok, country and time is correct setup

When validating, activating my photoshop 13 i get the message internet not active, checked internet is ok, country and time is correct setup. What can be checked more to solve this?

Had this issue myself. I've got no solution for you and customer support has been weak and non-responsive to say the least. Had an online chat with support last Saturday, 12/27, and was assured someone would get back to me via email within 2-3 business days. It's been over a week and no contact. I'm going to start the whole process over again. I personally disabled all firewalls and virus scanners and even went so far as to perform a clean boot on my system with no results. I am having the same problem with a Nero product (different company). It's frustrating as all hell.

Tired of activating my photoshop cs6 every day

Tired of activating my photoshop cs6 every day for the last year and calling, and uninstalling and reinstalling.

wondered if I could have been sold a trial version. I paid around $700.
They probably mean a "beta". The resounding answer would be no. That sounds like grasping at straws in the absence of another more likely explanation.
For the record, Adobe trial versions (meaning they expire 30 days after first launch if no serial number is entered) are identical in every respect to the paid-for version.
Re: your issue - are you saying that every single time you launch Photoshop CS6, you are faced with the Activation screen?
Have you installed the 13.0.1.1 updater? May help or it may be irrelevant.

I got a mouse issue with Photoshop.

When trying to use the brush or any tool, the tool doesn't Hold drag. Clicking and holding to use the brush only creates the initial mark (dot). I have a MacBook Air and Photoshop Elements 11. I searched on the internet and people say its got to do with a program named Synergy but I really do not know. Hope you can help me.

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!

vaishali

Memory Could Not Be Allocated For the Activation of PhotoShop

CS2 Intel P4 3.0GhzHT, 3-4GB Ram WinXP
Photoshop won't open for me. It used to. Any idea how I might fix this?
When I try to open Photoshop, I get "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try again."
I've done this with no applications after a fresh reboot and get the same message.
It only started recently. Photoshop used to open for me and was usable.
I got 3 or 4 GB of ram. I can't remember, but WinXP only sees about 3GB anyway. Either way should be more than enough, no?

hey john, thanks for resuscitating the topic. I on XP and it’s PS8
I have defragged, cleaned disc, etc.
In terms of symptoms, PS opens up and once open the prompt comes up. I hit okay and it shuts down.
i have tried CTRL + ALT + SHIFT whilst PS boots up; i get the prompt "ÿou currently have Adobe Photoshops primary Scratch and Windows' primary paging file on the same volume, which can result in reduced performance. It is reommmended that you set PS Primary Scratch Volume to be on a differrent volume, preferably on a different physical dirve."
I guess this means reinstall, partition and set up on a partitioned drive? I don't particularly want to take this course of action if there is an alternative. It doesn't make sense given I've got plenty of space.
No no need for that!
The message about the scratch drive is normal: the CTRL + ALT + SHIFT resets the preferences to the default for a single HDD. If you have more than one, go into Edit > Preferences > Performance and set the primary scratch drive to the one without the paging file.
Once you have OK'd that message it should go away if you do only have one HDD.
Partitioning will not do anything. The object of the separate drives (if you have them) is to avoid conflict between Scratch and Page file.
Do you still have your original problem?
