I've just bought Photoshop CC and the spacebar shortcut for the hand tool isn't working?

I've googled solutions for the problem and most of them say that I need to close down the other programmes I have open, as well as photoshop, and then restart the programme so I tried this and nothing seems to work. The hand tool by itself works but I much prefer using the spacebar shortcut as I need to work fast and it's much easier.
Is there a way I need to activate the spacebar shortcut seeing as I bought the software this morning?
Thanks

I had this same issue and a restart would NOT fix the problem, neither would reseting the prefs, or any of the other solutions mentioned in this post. I discovered the problem to be the Terminal application was automatically opening on login, which had the "Secure Keyboard Entry" option enabled. (Terminal menu item->Secure Keyboard Entry (check marked)) If I quit Terminal without disabling "Secure Keyboard Entry", the spacebar in Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop would work as expected. Although, if I restarted with Terminal still loading automatically with "Secure Keyboard Entry" enabled then the spacebar would NOT work until I quit the Terminal app. The problem is that when the computer logs into the user account and starts the Terminal app it hides the keyboard entry from other applications. Somehow Adobe products are now sensitive to this and the spacebar stops working as is should. So, the solution is to either make sure Terminal is not to load automatically at login, or disable the "Secure Keyboard Entry" option in Terminal and only enable it as needed. Be sure to disable it when your are no longer using the terminal. I have never seen this before and have been using Adobe products on OS X since its release, but I have not always used the Terminal as I do now in such a secure way. Thanks again governments and criminals for even further complicating our lives!
-Cheers

HI, I just bought Photoshop CS5 and I have a problem with HDR pro

HI, I just bought Photoshop CS5 and I have a problem with HDR pro . when I am trying to mount 3 images together it act in a strange way ( the images appear and disappear many times) then when the window with the result appear and I say ok it open up in photoshop as a single image ( in the layers there is just 1 photo) and when I am trying to work it up with the Plug in/filter HDR Effex Pro (Nik softwear) a pop up window appear saying that the file is missing and the operation it is not possible. Why and what is happening ? Someone can help me ?

This is normal operation. The output from HDR pro does not produce a layered file. You make all your adjustments in the Nik Plug-in. Once Nik has finished you then make any rinal changes in Photoshop. Trying to use NIK again on the image in Photoshop is not the way to do this.
When HDR pro comes up do you see all the presets and controls? Presets on the left and controls on the right

Just bought a macbook and can't connect to the internet. very frustrating

i can't connect through my wireless router. it reads it but can't connect. my brothers hp laptop connects to it and works. i brought it to work and tried to connect to the router at work but it failed again. but my bro's hp just reads it right away. i need some help please.

Hi,
The same happened to me, but here's a fix.
If it is password encrypted, when you first turn on your macbook, and they give you the internet connection list, Click on advance, and select "This computer does not connect to the internet" Then everything will finish installing.
Now when you see the wireless symbol on top of your screen (right next to the blue tooth) select Airport ON if it isn't enabled. Then connect to your wireless router, and when it asks for the password, click on the internet password type, and select the "Wireless WEP 12/48 key...or something like that" and it should connect. That is what I did to my macbook and it worked

What is the keyboard shortcut for the green "+" in top left corner?

Can anybody advice me where can I find or where can I change shortcut for the green "+", which change the size of Safari window (sorry I even don't know the name of this button).
Thanks a lot!

Hi
it's called Zoom - found under the Window menu, and if you create a new shortcut for Safari in System Preferences-Keyboard & Mouse-Keyboard Shortcuts... you can assign a key combo of your choice to it.

Here are the specs for your machine:

I'd suggest purchasing a retail Snow leopard disk at the Apple store; it is a very stable system and will run well on 2 GB RAM.

Just updated iPhone iOS and it is asking for the wrong AppleID. How do I change it if I can't get into the iPhone?

I just updated the iPhone iOS. I get the Hello Screen. It asks me to choose a WiFi. Then it takes me to a login but it has the WRONG AppleID listed. I changed the AppleID months ago. I do not have the password for the old ID, and I have no access to that email account to reset it. What the heck do I do? I can't get past this step.

UPDATE: Problem solved! Just got off the phone with Apple support. It only took all of about 10 minutes tops to fix, which was great. I think it was relatively painless because I never changed my password. Even when I changed email addresses/Apple IDs, my password never changed. So if there was an old password that you no longer remembered associated with the old Apple ID, I imagine that could be trickier.
These were the steps:
Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
Settings --> iTunes & App Store --> he had me verify that it was showing my current Apple ID, which it was, so we didn't need to mess with anything there
Settings --> iCloud --> it was still showing the old Apple ID and wouldn't let me change it (it was grayed out), so he had me scroll down and Delete Account. This is where I think I needed to enter my password, but fortunately it was the same as always, so no problem there.
-- Select "Keep data on my iPhone" or something like that
Then:
Settings --> iCloud --> log-in with your current Apple ID/iCloud account.
-- Select "Merge" so it syncs everything up.
All done!
Good luck to anyone else who has this very annoying little issue! Hope it's as relatively painless to fix as it was for me.

What is the keyboard shortcut for the search window?

Is there a keyboard shortcut that takes me directly to the Google search window in the upper right hand corner of the Safari toolbar? I looking for the equivalent of Firefox's Cmd-K shortcut. I've looked at lists of Safari shortcuts online, but I can't find this one.
Note that this is different from Cmd-Shift-L, because I want to begin the search without having something already highlighted.

Yep, I overlooked that one on the shortcuts list. Thanks.

TS1372 I have an ipod classic 160gb have already tried all the steps with no success. I have just bought this ipod and have had it for less than a week before this happened. what is wrong with my ipod and how can i fix it?

brand new ipod classic 160gb will not restore. have tried all steps with no fix. Also tried steps on a different computer with same results. anu help?

if you own a mac try to re format the disc to journal.
If you are on a windows like me, try to reformat the disc to NTFS. Then it will display that you need to restore as the ipod is in recovery mode. It restored with success. and voila, brand new working ipod.

Just bought Photoshop and it isn't working

I just bought photoshop today and it is not working. When I open it, it stays open for about thirty seconds and then a window pops up that says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." and then it exits out. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, as well as restarting my computer. Nothing has worked. I'm currently on hold with customer support.... but I've been on hold for about half an hour. I'm really frustrated considering I just bought this.... Lightroom is working fine.

Click Start.
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.
The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the Display tab.
On the Display tab, information about your graphics card is shown in the Device section. You can see the name of your card, as well as how much video memory it has.
Once you know the kind of graphics card you have, visit the manufacturer's website to download the latest driver. Here are links for downloading drivers from the most common graphics card manufacturers:
NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
AMD: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
Intel: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/
To go from the Trial version to your subscribed version, you have to sign in with the Adobe ID and password on your CC account.
Usually under Help > Sign In part of Photoshop or in the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

I have an ipad2 that i just bought on July and i can't split my keyboard or multi tasking., I have an ipad2 that i just bought on July and i can't split my keyboard or multi tasking.

I have an ipad2 that I just bought July 2011 and I can't split the keyboard or do a multi tasking.

I think the ability to split the keyboard came with iOS5. I just did it on my keyboard. You hold your finger down on the little keyboard key until you get the options to split or undock.
Do you have an iPad 1? or is your iPad not running iOS5? You can check that by going to settings and about, and it'll tell you what version you're running.
If you're not on iOS5, then you need to have iTunes 10.5 on your machine and you can update your iPad to get the mulittasing gestures and split keyboard.

Spacebar shortcut for hand tool not working in Photoshop CC - have tried closing all other programs

The spacebar shortcut for hand tool is not working in Photoshop CC - as suggested in this form & others I have tried closing all other programs with no result. I have also reset photoshop to default settings & this did not make any difference either.

There may be a software conflict. I went through this today. When I did a search in Adobe foruns actually found tha answer on the Illustrator forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1027227?
What the problem for me was an app called - 1Password. I had opened it, but not given my password to login and it was on in the background. As soon as I quit 1Password, the spacebar Hand Tool worked.
Then I opened 1Password again, and logged in. This time the spacebar works.
Others mentioned conflict with Spotify. And Chrome too. Couple other things. Read that thread in the link above.
Good luck!

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen. They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option. Where are all the options I had in PS10? Also...Can I burn this to a DVD?

The changes have brought improvements but also drawbacks compared with the old slideshow editor.
The templates are now fairly fixed but I find the “Classic Dark” gives reasonable results with some panning and you can click the audio button and browse you PC for any track. Unfortunately there are only three speed choices linked to the music track. The improvement for most people is that you can now export to your hard drive at 720p or 1080p and upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeo.
