Hand Tool Appears and Have to Restart Computer - CS5

This problem has been going on for quite some time. I'll be working on a project and then out of nowhere the hand tool is activated and I'm no longer able to use any of the other tools. If I quit all the open Adobe programs and restart PS, the hand still appears. Only after I restart my computer, does PS work again. This is a reacuring problem that happens several times a day. I've noticed it happens when I'm zoomed in relatively close to the area I'm working in.
Help?

Hitting the H key or the space bar repeatedly, say six times in very quick succession, normally clears it up. In some cases it may take 10 or 12 times.
As to what triggers it, when CS3 and CS4 were current, there were some old versions of Microsoft Entourage that caused it when Entourage was open in the background. It was some strange interaction between the buggy version of Entourage and the OS (in my case it was Tiger). Subsequent updates to Entourage fixed it.
However, it's entirely possible that something else may be causing it in your case. I don't have CS5.

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

My husband uses adobe cs5. The clone tool isn't working and after resetting the tools adobe bridge now goes to picasa. How can we make the clone tool work and have bridge go to cs5 not picasa?

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

Since upgrade to firefox 4.o.1 when I close it and then reopen am told fireox already running close or restart but task manager doesn't show it as running and have to restart computer to open firefox again, what's up?

Happens when I close it to get rid of info that might still be stored from current site (financial info etc) but want to reopen to continue use. Didn't happen with earlier versions.

Software Update: Java for OS X 2013-002 1.0
This update, upon booting, has caused my disk space to fill up and my system freezes up. The same happens to my coworker's computer. We both watch the remaining disk space decrease and the "spinning rainbow appears" and we must restart. What do we do?

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

RMBP Late 2013 crash without log and have to restart by power button

I bought rMBP around November last year.
As I open Chrome, it crash without log.
The only solution is to restart it with power button.
I can't find the report by chrome://crashes and ~/Library/Logs/.
I think the kernel_task doesn't make it.
Are there anyone else got the same problem and solution?
Is there a proper noun for crash and have to restart it by power button?
Version:10.9.1(13B3116)

I would reformat the drive then reinstall Lion:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.

when Update to 10.7.2 ,I cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.
OS:10.7.2
Macbook Pro 2010-mid 13inch

I also have the same problem, however if I use Firefox or Opera sites with ssl connection work fine. Still, I can't use Google Chrome (ssl), Safari (ssl), the Mac app store (generally), or the iTunes store (generally). Both the iTunes store, Safari and the app store won't respond, and Chrome displays this error: (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT). The problem persists regardless of what network I'm using. Also, when trying to access the keychain or iCloud, the process will not start (will hang). I didn't have these problems at all before updating to 10.7.2.
Sometimes rebooting helps, and sometimes not. If the problem disappears by rebooting, then it only lasts a few minutes before it reappears. It is very frustrating, especially since there doesn't seem to be any obvious or consistent way of which to fix it.
I'm also using a Macbook Pro 13-inch mid 2010.

Often have to restart computer after signing off firefox

I often get a message"firefox is not responding, have to restart computer to continue". I get this message quite often when I close a session and try to logon to firefox later on. It says "firefox is running but not responding, close previous application or restart computer to continue."

Doesn't it work to close and restart Firefox?
Are there any Firefox processes left in the Task Manager when you close Firefox?

I have a sync key, and have a new computer terminal, but when I enter the account details I created, it syncs nothing with my new computer. How do I fix this? There is nothing showing up when I sync with the sync key from my old terminal.

''NexGenCN [[#question-1038230|said]]''
<blockquote>
I recently had to do a wipe on my laptop. I saved the sync key but there was no mention of a sync account prior to doing the wipe. I saved the key and when I did the wipe it asked me to make an account, which I had not done, but now I am seeing no where to put in a sync key code. did they make them unusable now or something?
</blockquote>
You are probably trying to use old Sync with Firefox newer than version 29,
and they did make old Sync unusable on fresh installations of newer Firefox.
You can uninstall that newer Firefox, then install Firefox 29 from here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/29.0.1/
Apply your sync key code, then update that installation to current Firefox,
then migrate to new Sync:

HT201272 I cannot view a movie I rented on iTunes. I have gone through all the troubleshooting and have reset my computer with no luck. My account had been debited and when I go to the movie's site, the price for the rental had increased. Help please!

I recently downloaded "Inequalirt For All," a movie by Robert Reich. I loaded $20 onto my iTunes account and there was a special where I could rent the movie for $0.99. I rented the movie but have not been able to download and play it. The error message says that there was a problem with my download even though it charged my account. I have gone through the troubleshooting steps and have reset my computer. The rental does not show up on my iPad or iPhone either. I would like to watch this movie! Please help! Thank you!

I exported my passwords to a flash drive, and have a new computer. How do I get those passwords moved to the NEW machine?

I exported my passwords to a flash drive, and have a new computer. How do I get those passwords moved to the NEW machine?

Firefox doesn't have an "export" feature built into it for password data.
Exactly what did you do to "export" your passwords?
Did you use this extension?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/
If so, see the screenshots on that page to see the Import function.
If you copied the two files that are used for storing passwords from the old computer to back them up, just copy those 2 files into the Profile folder on the new computer to restore them.

I am getting an error message "Adobe_unable to download, license server communications problem, e_act_not_ready". I have downloaded Adobe Digital Editions and have authenticated the computer, but cannot download a book from the library. What should I do?

Having exact same problem, only it's with a book I've paid for, so it hurts more . Any ideas?

Airport times out and have to restart

airport times out and have to restart constantly

I have exactly the same problem. It started a few weeks ago and the helpline could not work out the problem, so they sent me a new HUB 2.0. Ever since, the broadband connection keeps stopping every day several times a day, which is a real pain as I work from home.
I've just ran InSSider and there are two NETGEAR SSIDs on the same channel as mine (11). Would this affect / be part of problem? There are other SSIDs on channels 1,6,7 and 13. Not very techie, so would appreciate very basic advice!
