Hand tool stops working randomly (CS6)

Hi,
So I'm working on this composition with a lot of 3d layers. Sometimes when I switch views, the hand tool stops working completely, for no apparent reason. I hit space, the hand icon still shows, but nothing happens when I drag the cursor. Then after a while it starts working again, for no apparent reason either. It's driving me nuts.
I've already tried resetting the preferences, to no avail.
My specs :
i5-3330 @ 3.00GHz
6 gigs of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 620
1 To HDD
Windows 8

Could be a cache issue or your graphics card not flushing its buffers. Turn off the performance cache in the prefs and update your graphics driver....

  • Hand tool stops working in Flash CS5

    Does anyone know why my hand tool stops working after some time? Whenever I restart Flash, it works, but after like 30 minutes working, it just won't work. The hand tool symbol appears, with the shortcut key, the space bar, and the button on my pen as well, but it won't drag it at all.
    I have to restart it every time, and its getting annoying.
    I have a
    Intel Core i7-2600k @3.40GHz
    Windows 7 64-bit
    8 GB Ram
    1TB Space
    Everything works fine, is just that hand tool issue.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you.
    P.S. First time I've posted, maybe wrong forum section.

    Hi ,
    Yes for the brush tool , we just have the fill color. Snapshot attached -
    Let me know what do you want to achieve using the brush tool so that I can suggest you some other tool to be used for the requirement.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Spot Healing Brush Tool stops working in CS6 on Mac

    Hello:
    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.  While working in the Spot Healing Brush Tool in CS6 on my iMac (Mountain Lion) , the tool stops working. I use it a few times on a busy BG, and then it goes away. The brush turns to a cross, and the tool no longer works. Reseting the tool, or All Tools, does not fix the problem.
    Please let me know if there is a fix for this problem.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    BTW:
    This is also hapenning when I use the Patch tool.  It "Eventually" comes back, but I loose it again after a fix or two. Can't figure this one out. Need help.

  • Scrubby Zoom and hand tool stop working out of the blue?

    I checked my preferences and OpenGL is enabled, so I don't understand why it randomly stops working when I'm trying to get work done. Been working for less than four hours today and have had to restart Photoshop CS5.5 6 times. It starts working for a little while, then the "Scrubby Zoom" box becomes greyed out and the shortcut doesn't work as well. Also when I hit space (hand tool) to drag the image around, that stops working at the same time as the zoom. I'm using an Intuos4 with this, haven't had problems with it until recently but there haven't been any significant changes in my machine (PC), which has a nice graphics card, processor, etc. I'm using Google Chrome, maybe it has something to do with my browser being open at the same time as PS?
    Any opinions on this are appreciated, thanks.

    Did you do a forum search on the word chrome? It finds this: Re: Space Bar Hand Move & CMD-Space Zoom Not Working—CS5

  • Suddenly in the middle of editing a large project the cropping and other tools stopped working. Did i hit some key or something accidently?

    suddenly in the middle of editing a large project in Aperture the cropping and others tools stopped working. Did I accidently hit something to do that?

    Maybe you hit the "p" key?
    Then "Quick Preview" will be turned on and prevent editing. Hit "p" again or use the "View" ->"Quick Preview" menu entry.

  • -Why did my CS2 Dodge Tool stop working as set?

    CS2 dodge tool stopped working as set, yet Burn, Sponge, Clone Tools all work; dodge tool leaves centered white specks if clicked multiple times; all my CS1 tools work; all my CS2 & CS1 tool settings are same (0 hardness, 20% exposure), rebooting does not fix; can anyone help?  Is it possible to create this problem by accidentally typing Shift, Alt or Ctrl "," or "." or similar whilst using CS2 Dodge Tool?  Thanks in advance!

    It's probably something to do with the tool's brush. If picking a brush preset (not just a brush tip) doesn't fix it then reset the Dodge Tool. Right-click on the tool's icon at very left of Options bar and pick Reset Tool.

  • Momentary Hand Tool Not Working

    I can select the hand tool from the tool bar or pressing H and can pan around the preview window. But I cannot get the momentary hand tool to work on this new laptop. With the Selection Tool activated, when I press the Space Bar, I get the hand icon, but pressing the left mouse key and dragging does nothing. It is driving me crazy.

    THANK YOU JAMES!
    I have been dealing with this issue for months!
    Having to go and grab the hand tool from the box was a major pain in the @$$!
    I thought is was a windows 7 issue.
    I did what you said , and the hand tool is working again! woo hoo!

  • After Service, Airport card stops working randomly on macbook pro 17" early 2009

    Hi,
    So after the last time my computer was serviced, the airport card stops working randomly on moving the screen.
    Upons restarting the computer, it sometimes says wi-fi hardware not installed. Then, if I move my machine around,
    lift it up, turn it around, place it back on the table and restart it, it works again. I don't understand this.
    And all this started happening the moment my warranty ran out. Extremely frustrating!!

    It may be possible that one of the following may be the issue:
    The internal AirPort Extreme card is not seated properly.
    The internal Wi-Fi antenna connector is not seated properly in the AirPort Extreme card.
    The internal AirPort Extreme card's connector is faulty or damaged.
    The internal AirPort Extreme card is faulty.
    To get an idea on how the Extreme card is installed, please check out the following iFixit article.

  • My Snipping Tool stopped working

    My Snipping Tool stopped working.
    When I open the tool I get a box with a Circle/line and OK.

    Hi,
    Did you launch it via a shortcut?
    Try to open it via original application:
    1. Open C://Windows/System32 directory;
    2. Find SnippingTool.exe as the figure below:
    3. Double click to open it to check the result.
    If it works fine, remove the old shortcut and then recreate a new one.

  • HT204387 iphone 5 hands free stopped working on my Nissan Juke after oil change?

    My iphone 5 hands free stopped working in my 2012 Nissan Juke after I took it into dealership for an oil change. I could see calls coming in on the car display screen and the call connects but caller can't hear me and I can't hear them. I took my car back to dealer and left my phone and car with them for a full day but they told me it was an iphone issue. I tried removing and adding my phone again but it hasn't helped. I can still hear music when I connect the phone w/ the usb port. Anyone else have this problem?

    Delete the pairing form the device and the vehicle.
    Pair the devices again.
