How to select tool when url is wrong?

In order to watch some vid streaming, I loaded the vshare plugin. It does what it's supposed to do but also has inserted a toolbar (which I can not display) but when I enter a URL that can't be found, I get a page from vshare.
Can I; how? change this to another search page?

No. In finder hold down the option key and in the GO menu select Library. In the window that appears Open the Preferences folder then scroll down and find com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovie LSSharedFileList.plist and drag them to the trash. Do this with iMovie closed. Thenreboot and relaunch iMovie.

How to set the cursor tool to select tool when opening acrobat XI 11.0

I need the cursor tool to default to Select Tool and NOT Hand Tool when opening Acrobat XI 11.0

Hi mkwillden,
Once you select the 'Select tool' then any subsequent launches of the software should keep the 'Select tool' as default.
If not then you can specify the registry setting here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\11.0\Selection
Change the data of aDefaultSelect to Select or Hand as required.
Regards,
Rave

Photoshop Elements select tool, when targeting layer or multiple layers the layer properties box pops up. Having to very carefully and repeatedly select and highlight layers to move, or merge when using Move Tool. Win 8, Adobe 12, Intuos 4 w/ updated dr

This issue has been going on for several weeks.
The Move Tool is not functioning properly when selecting and TARGETING a layer or multiple layers, as the Layer Properties box pops up requiring me to close it and try again.
How to reset or is there an update and fix for this issue.
Using Win 8, Elements 12, and Intuos 4 Pen and Tablet.

To reset the tool I suggest click on it once and then look for something like this in the bottom half of your window:
In the above picture I have marked one section in red box. You need to click on it to get the option to either reset the only tool you have clicked or to reset all the tools in the editor window. Of course you have to be in Expert Mode to get this to work.
Good luck.

Keyboard shortcut for select tool when in text tool

I'm trying to figure out the best way to use keyboard shortcuts in Motion 5, but I've come across
a little issue:
Let's say I've been using the text tool adjusting text in a text box. Then I want to go to the Select/Transform tool.
If I type Shift+S (the keyboard command for the Select/Transform tool), a capital "S" appears in my text.
The only way around this I've found is to enable the Select/Transform tool with my mouse, which I find kind of slow and annoying.
Any ideas? Hope I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks.

The escape key will take you out of text entry mode. See the "Text Tools in the Toolbar" Section

Blob Brush Tool and Selecting Lines when Hitting Ctrl Z

I've done searches for this answer, but I'm afraid it's too specific. Basically, in Windows 7's Illustrator holding the ctrl key is a shortcut to the selection tool when someone is using the blob brush tool. (among others as well) This means that if my cursor is ever hovering over a line when I hit undo (ctrl+z) it also selects the line because I've hit the ctrl key. That means after the initial undo, I have to also move my cursor to another spot where there is no line and hit the control key again to deselect the line that became highlighted when I hit ctrl+z.
I know it's not a big deal, but having to move your cursor every time you want to undo a mistake is really annoying. Selecting the shape doesn't effect my drawing, but I'd rather not have a set of lines highlighted while I'm drawing.
Is there a way I can stop Illustrator from selecting line segments when holding the control key?

I'm having trouble understanding exactly what you mean. Floating the cursor over a line and then pressing Ctrl doesn't select the line -- it just temporarily changes the cursor to the last selection tool used. Nothing gets selected when you let go of the Ctrl-Z. However, read on:
Regardless of where the cursor is, pressing Ctrl-Z just undoes the last operation. This could, of course, result in something being re-selected as a consequence of the UnDo. Are you perhaps pressing the left mouse button while pressing Ctrl-Z?
Sorry if this is no help at all . . .

Acrobat Reader DC: Find the hand and select tools

Here is a problem and a solution. In Adobe Reader DC you may want to use the hand tool and the select tool. But you won't get them to show in the main toolbar, no matter how deep you dig in the Show/Hide menu.
SOLUTION: hover your mouse in the lower part of the screen to show the Page Control tools. That's where you'll see the hand and select tools.
The complete steps are:
1. Click View > Show/Hide > Page Controls, and make sure that Show Page Controls is selected.
2. The page controls will appear either on your toolbar or at the bottom of the screen.
3. To move the page controls to the bottom of the screen (or back to your toolbar), click the icon that looks like a bar with a downwards arrow.
4. You will only be able to see the hand and select tools when the page controls are at the bottom of your screen.
Adobe, I usually love your software, but I spent a half hour looking for a hand icon. Frustration. >:-((

OK.
H to get the hand tool, and
V to return to the selection tool.

And Sara, please tell them to write a complete manual for DC soon.
Thanks,
David

Esc from Type Tool to Direct Selecton instead of Selection Tool

After editing type with the Type Tool, is there any way to set Illustrator to switch to the Direct Selection Tool instead of the Selection Tool when you hit the Escape key?

contols+esc still only takes me to the selection tool.
The Command key, not the Control key. (That's the key right next to the spacebar, with the apple logo on it.)
Larry wrote 'Cmd (Control)' because it's the Ctrl key on a Win system (and you did not specify your platform in your original post).
Actually, Ctrl+Esc might not work on some Windows systems because it is an OS-level shortcut (roughly equivalent to hitting the Windows key -- takes you to the Start menu) and will likely override the Illustrator function. I say 'might' because a number of factors could affect Ctrl+Esc behavior within an application.

How to stop the option key from changing tools when trying to subtract from a selection?

How to stop the option key from changing my tools when I am trying to subtract from a selection?
I'm running CS3 on Mac OS Leopard, and the automatic tool switching slows me down, but even preferences doesn't show a way to turn this off.
Thanks for your help.

With any marquee tool, JUST holding down the option key should not switch tools. You need to explain the problem much more carefully, It's completely impossible to tell from your description whats going wrong.
automatic tool switching
The only preference related to this, is to do with the SHIFT KEY - "use Shift key for tool switch".

Why does the clone stamp work when I go from a darker colour to a lighter colour but not the other way around. How can I lighten up a dark area? Lasso tool takes from the wrong area too.

Why do you use the Blend Modes Lighter and Darker at all in this case and not simply Normal?
And what kept you from posting a screenshot?
I borrowed the image below for an HDR workshop I ran at the 2010 PSNZ National Convention, to demonstrate a method of removing halos. You'll remember that halos were a serious problem with early HDR, and while the halos in this image were caused by over sharpening, they are perfect for demonstrating this technique.
It relies on the fact that halos so often tend to put a lighter tone between the two areas where sharpening is being applied. Whether that is the sky abutting a dark line of hills, or the rock and little tower as in this image. I've uploaded it at the size it was supplied to me at (about 2700 pixels wide). So
Click to open the full image, right click and copy, and paste into Photoshop.
Select the clone tool, and set its blend mode to Darken.
Try to sample on a line horizontal to where you want to clone, to give the best tonal match, and start cloning.
Because the sky is darker than the halo, it overwrites it. But the rock is darker than the sky, so it has no affect.
It works even better if you clone on a new layer also set to Darken. No masking, just Photoshop blend mode magic.
You can also fix the little tower. Use a great big brush — just remember to sample horizontal to match the horizon.
Back then I was using the same trick with CAs after forgetting to fix them in ACR, and having done too much work to start again after spotting the problem.

How do I constrain anchor angle when I tug on a path with the direct select tool?

How do I constrain anchor angle when I tug on a path with the direct select tool like it did in every version of Illustrator since 1988? New behavior is costing me time.

That solves it!
I was not able to find this in the online materials about the pen tool. In fact, Illustrator Help | Adjust path segments does not show the new functionality at all. They need to update that article.
Better way to implement the new functionality
It would have been nice if Adobe added to the chording controls for the direct select tool the ability to toggle this setting temporarily by holding down the space bar after mouse down to drag a segment.
Before mouse down this would give the user the hand tool.
If, after mouse down, I could hold space bar and have the behavior switch from the historical capability where dragging a segment cannot change adjacent segments to the new behavior where dragging the segment cannot move anchors but can rotate them, I am sure I would find times when the tool saved time. If, before mouse up, I release spacebar, turn the constraint back on with anchors pointing in their new directions and allow me to stretch the curve protecting the new shapes of adjacent curves.
Using space bar for this would be intuitive to me because holding down the space bar is something I already do to organically drag the page around with the hand tool. The new tool allows me to more organically stretch artwork around, something that is distantly analogous, but close enough to remember.
For long time Illustrator users, the chording features holding Ctrl/Alt/Shift/Space or Ctrl/Command/Shift/Space in different combinations while using the direct select tool and pen tool is the killer app part of Illustrator that keeps us using it. This what we did on Illustrator 88 on a Mac Plus in 1988 and is still the most productive way to produce vector art when precision is required.

How do I turn off preview of hidden areas when dragging an image in frame with Direct Select Tool?

CS5, Not sure how to word this...
In previous version of ID, if I had a graphic in a frame, I could drag the image around inside that frame with the Direct Selection Tool. I can still do this with CS5 but it seems to want to show the entire image in a ghosting way that is outside of the frame. Is there a way to turn this preview type look off like it was in previous versions? I feel like its slowing my computer down bigtime because I am dealing with a large image. Everytime I click to drag it, everything slows to a crawl and unusable.

Go to the Prefernces and set Live Screen Drawing to Delayed.

How to have the transform corners when Selection tool (black arrow) is selected?

On previous versions of Illustrator, when you pressed the Selection Tool (Black arrow) you could see the path being wrapped around a transform where you could make adjustments. Well, on CC that is gone! Is there a way to rescue that?

OMG, so many years in Illustrator and until now I know that tip! You're the man!
Larry, were you able to check my other question about the zoom marquee. On CS5 and previous, you could select an area with the zoom tool and then relocate that area by pressing the space bar. Since CS6 and now CC, this option is gone, or is there another shortcut that I don't know of?
