[IDCS4] Space bar shortcut for hand doesn't work

I am experiencing following problem:
I have written a startup script that shows a floating panel (it is a window that uses 'palette' as a type description). I also added menu item and listeners to show/hide it (in menu window). Inside the panel there is a flex application that communicates with InDesign via ExternalInterface (no PatchPanel). Whenever I start InDesign with this script as startup script suddenly spacebar stops working as a shrotcut that temporarily changes used tool to Hand Tool. Even closing InDesign and removing startup script and restarting InDesgin doesn't help, I need to logout and login again to make spacebar work. I am experiencing this issue on MacOSX 10.4 on Intel Mac, InDesign 6.0.5 and script is written in ExtendScript.
I also found that running the startup script from scripts panel seems to solve the problem, but this is rather undesired, since the panel should be available from InDesign startup...
Has anybody of you experienced the same behaviour? Maybe there is some sort of programatic fix? It drives me mad, because I am used to spacebar as a temporary hand. Of course if there is no other fix, I'll need to find some sort of hack that performs initialization after startup, but this is rather undesired
Thanks in advance for your help and expertise

After some investigation I can tell that aforementioned bahaviour is most probably caused by opening the INDD file by using AIR API (file.openWithDefaultApplication()). When file is opened by user this behaviour is not observed, but when INDD is opened from AIR application, it results with disabling spacebar shortcut. What is even more strange, the shortcut is disabled not only in InDesign, but also in Illustrator. Photoshop works fine...
Geez, Adobe, you're giving me so much headache...

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!

Photoshop CS6 spacebar shortcut for hand tool stopped working. How do I get it to work?

How can I get the shortcut for forced quite to work from my keyboard.

The shortcut for forced quite stopped working from my apple keyboard. Is there any way I can reprogram it or do I need a new keyboard? When I use a logiteck keyboard the shortcut works. the esc key, command key, and option key work it just doesn't work as the short cut. Any help would be great, I don't want to buy a new keyboard.
We did just have the video card replaced, not sure if that would effect anything.
Thanks

The Apple keyboard has two Command and two Option keys. Did you try them all and in every different combination possible to rule out a defective key. You could also go Fullscreen and use Escape to exit Fullscreen to rule that one out. It reads like the keyboard is on its way out if the Logitech keyboard works. Also that would indicates that it's not a problem on the OS side. Hope that helps

What key(s) do i type to change language from english to other? i am writing s story in dual languages. i was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

what key(s) do it type to change language from english to other? i am writing a story in dual languages. I was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

Command Spacebar opens Spotlight as you have found out. If you want to change languages you need to say what app you are using to write the story in, I'm guessing you are using Pages or MS Word. If that's the case
Pages: Open Inspector - Click the T tab - Click Language and change your language.
MS Word: Tools Menu - Language - Choose your language.

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. What do I do?

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. So when I want to download apps I have to sign in with apple id but I can't so I made a new one, However I can't seem to be able to delete the old one. What do I do?

You can't merge Apple IDs. You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore...

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore since last update made yesterday.
How can I restore it without the last update?
Or, what can I do to have the Facebook back again on my mobile?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Ricoco,
I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.

Voice command for Contacts doesn't work after a re...

Voice command for Contacts doesn't work after a reboot or a contacts restore.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Backup contacts. Open Files > Backup & Restore > Select Contact for Backup Contents and select Back up now.
2. Edit/save a contact, press and hold the call button, speak contacts name. The voice recognition works fine.
3. Restore contacts. Open Files > Backup & Restore > Select Contact for Backup Contents and select Restore.
4. Reboot phone when prompted.
5. Press and hold the call button, speak contacts name. The voice recognition does not work.
Work around:
Edit and save each contact.
Additional Information:
Social integration with contacts also does not work after a reboot. The facebook icon and "See what xxx is up to on Facebook" is not displayed. The same work around "Edit and save each contact" also applies. This occurs using the Nokia N8 and Nokia 808 Pureview.

I have my phone paired with my car, I can do everything except it does not recognize any of my contact names. If I try say a contact name, it says "not recognized" but if I say the contacts phone number, the name pops up onthe display in my car.
Has anyone had this issue, is there a setting I am missing in my phone?
Hello,
This is not necessarily and issue with the phone. It could also be an issue with the car`s bluetooth software that is only limited to some functions like reading your contacts list, last calls, missed calls, etc. which is most likely the basic 2.0 version.
The Z30 has the 4.0 version that has a lot more communication capability but if the car`s bluetooth its a lower version, then you will not be able to take full advantage of it unless you upgrade the bluetooth software in your car. Call your dealer and inquire about the bluetooth software upgrade in your car

Quicktime for windows doesn't work, wont let me uninstall or update.Help!

Quicktime for windows doesn't work, won't let me uninstall (tells me fatal errro) or update (tells me it encountered an error on installation). Help!I am running Windows XP on an Intel pentium PC. Any ideas? Dvora

When you get this fatal error uninstalling, try a full removal of iTunes and related programs with an installer clean up of any that do not uninstall cleanly:
Here is a method:
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Textvariable with replacement path for 0CALMONTH doesn't work ...

Hello expert,
we have done release upgrade BW 7.01 -> BW 7.3 SPS 04. While checking queries I found out that textvariables with replacementpath for 0CALMONTH doesn't work anymore. In the report I only see the variable name like ZVARXYZ01 but want to see something like 'JAN 2011'.
As far as I understand 0CALMONTH don't need a texttable. Texts can be found in table T247. I checked the table and all values looks fine.
Any Idea where the problem is or how I can analyze it?
Thank you in advance,
Peter

Hi Peter
Please check this link, especially this note for text variable problems after upgrade to 7.3
Let us know if it helps.
Think of giving points.

Space bar shortcuts

In Illustrator you can use the space bar to change the selection tool temporarily to the hand tool or combine with Command to get the zoom tool. For some reason, it stops working sometimes and then out of the blue starts working again. I am assuming it's some strange key command that I am hitting that changes it but can't figure it out. Any thoughts?

You are using a Macintosh. Command-Space is the OS default shortcut to open the Spotlight Search field at the top right of the screen. Change this in System Preferences.

Keyboard shortcuts for text selection not working in Flash CC

In the new Code Editor in Flash CC running on Mac OS X, most standard Keyboard Shortcuts for traversing through the text work as expected (as the Operating System works globally) but there is one that doesn't and it's I think the most important one.
Hitting "OPTION + SHIFT + [right or left arrow keys]" to select words doesn't work. Hitting "OPTION + [right or left arrow keys]" works as expected, moving the cursor to the next word or break point, but adding shift doesn't do the selection.
I don't understand why this changed since it's a basic OS global shortcuts, and every other program behaves the way it should. Flash CS6 running on the same system behaves fine, but Flash CC doesn't. If you have ever written code, you know that any second that a programmers hand doesn't have to leave the keyboard to search for the mouse is invaluable, and this has forced me to stop using Flash CC and use Flash CS6 to edit my Action Script classes becuase it's unusable otherwise.
These shortcuts are also not listed in the keyboard shortcuts for the program, so I can't change the default behavior. Does anybody know if there's a way to set it back to the way it was before, or just disable special text shortcuts so that selecting text behaves like any other application in the operating system?
System Configuration:
Flash CC
Mac OSX 10.8.5

Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

Recomendations for you doesn't work

quick link on main page of iTunes doesn't work. I've tried everything and I can't get the link to work. It worked fine for years and then it slowly stopped sending "Recommendations for you" would time out and I would remain on main iTunes web page.

Yes, it still occurs when logged in as a different user. Since my posting earlier this morning, I've noticed that when I type the delete key, the end bracket appears and continues to repeat until I press the space bar. I'm wondering if it's a virus. A colleague at work says that when his macbook is left on for too long, sometimes he will type one command and the macbook will do another. I have had the computer on or in sleep mode nonstop since Sunday morning. Is it possible that it's an over-use issue or possibly some kind of mac virus? The only app I downloaded from the web was a youtube downloader/mp3 converter.
My main goal would be to reset all system commands to normal - if there's an easy way to do this.
Thanks for asking.

Spacebar quick key for Hand tool not working.

I have a brand new imac intel i7 27" and have installed photoshop cs5, but the spacebar hand tool is not working. any ideas?
the hand tool and all other tools work, just the shortcut key of holding the spacebar doesn't work.
Thanks,

I found that when I quit Firefox the spacebar works again as a shortcut for the hand tool. However as soon as I sign in to my gmail account it stops working. This is so frustrating! Will there be a fix for this sometime in the near future?
