Illustrator CS2 shortcuts won't work

I recently purchased Leopard, and now my Illustrator CS2 shortcuts won't work. I tried to create a new set of shortcuts but that doesn't work either. I can't even open a new document without going to the menu.
I would appreciate if anybody know a way of fixing this, as I don't want to purchase CS3 just yet.

Lisa - CS2 also has activation and de-activation in the same way as CS3 does. What it does not have is the un-installers. The installation-rules are the very same for CS2 as for CS3. You cna isntall as many times as you want, you can only activate on two-machines imultaneously and only use it on one machine at the time.
The first thing to do if shortcuts stop working is to delete your preferences and start from defaults. Re-installning is the very last resort and very seldom needed in my experience. an dif you need to reinstall, you need to first get rid of old settings and other files that belong to the application or they will still be there and behavior of application still be the same.

CS2 Shortcuts won't work

Hello, just recently bought my own copy of Adobe Photoshop CS2 after using my friends for awhile. I use a Saitek Cyborg keyboard, which worked just fine before... but once I rewiped my harddrive and reinstalled CS2, my shortcuts don't seem to work anymore... like zooming in with Control+ and Control-
but they worked before.
And when I do go into the keyboard shortcuts, and it IS labeled as "Ctrl++" and "Ctrl+-"... so I clicked it and remapped it again to Ctrl++... but it comes up as Ctrl+M and Ctrl+K... but that doesn't overrride the original shortcuts for M and K...
So are my keys just mapped wrong, or has this come up before? I have no idea where to remap the keys at... the drivers were installed fine because the keyboard works with EVERYTHING else but CS2 properly.
Anyway i hope i explained this clearly enough... any help available?

That's interesting... they say that alot of Ebay copies COULD be fake.. and we happened to get ours from ebay as well.. you think there's a fix or should we just return it and get it from Adobe themselves?
I would say it's 99% certain you got one of the fake copies. There are 100s of them and they all looked authentic with shrink-wrapped packaging, etc.
CS2 is no longer available from normal sources (we are up to CS4 now).
I would not delay in trying to get your money back.
Moral: If the price looks too good to be true it probably isn't genuine.

Remote Desktop Shortcuts won't work in FULLSCREEN mode

Hello,
I found lots of
shortcuts won’t work during remote desktop connection between Win7 64 host (home premium) to Win 7 64 guest (professional):
Include:
ALP+PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN
CTRL + ALT + ±
In order to make them work I need to exit full screen mode of remote desktop first (can be done with CTRL+ALT+BREAK)
Is there any fix?

Hi，
Have you check the "Local Resources" under Remote Desktop Connection "properties",? just as screen shot below:
You can also test this issue with On-screen keyboard, check if issue persists.

Zoom keyboard shortcut won't work with "Italian Pro" keyboard, Zoom keyboard shortcut won't work with "Italian Pro" keyboard

Hi everyone,
I am trying to get to the bottom of this mystery. "Italian Pro" is the keyboard I use almost all the time, and for some reason this zoom shortcut won't work. Another user assured me that "cmd-+" is the shortcut also in that keyboard. Mine doesn't work though. I have tried removing the keyboard and reapplying it. I've tried to use it on different browsers and different applications. I've even created another user and logged into that, installing the keyboard there. Nothing has worked, so can anyone suggest anything? What do I do next? (I know it doesn't seem like much but the issue really interferes with the flow of my things) Thank you!

Some other Zoom entirely?

If we're talking about (b) and (1), then this 'other user' (his initials wouldn't be TG, would it?) was right. My keyboard is US QWERTY, and, if I switch to Italian Pro, ⌘-+ works. However, as the 'other user' has already told you, to do ⌘-+ with the Italian Pro keylayout on the US QWERTY keyboard, you have to press simultaneously the keys labelled ⌘ and ] -- as you can easily see in Keyboard Viewer.

Undo keyboard shortcut won't work

I have quite a bizaare problem - the keyboard shortcut for undo will work after I restart my computer, but after awhile, it simply stops working. I am thus forced to click on Edit->Undo every time I want to undo something. Once the shortcut stops working, it applies to all applications. I have not been able to identify any "trigger" which causes it to stop working. I've tried to "Restore defaults" in the Keyboard shortcuts tab under the Keyboards menu, but this didn't have any effect. Any ideas?

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Firefox upgraded, shortcuts won't work

I recently upgraded Firefox and now the shortcuts for Facebook won't work. (ie. pressing Enter to post a comment). Also, after posting at Facebook I'm not able to delete the post either. I tried clicking the "remove post" button and it was just loading. Photo upload doesn't work either. Maybe both Facebook and Firefox have problems regarding the new upgrade.

Illustrator CS2 OSX Palettes stops working

Hi!
I have a user running OSX 10.4.11 on an Intel-based iMac G5. She's using CS2 (yes, I know we're a bit slow to upgrade ), and she's having some problems.
Lately, Illustrators palettes will suddenly stop working, which means she's unable to select layers, colours etc. She can draw, use the menus, select tools etc., but the palettes just won't work.
I've tried removing the preferences, but with no luck. I would prefer not to reinstall Creative Suite, since that takes quite a while, so I'm counting on you guys to help me!
Best regards,
Thomas

Close any mm Multiple Master fonts you may have open. Fonts like Kronos MM can cause this. Use fontbook to close them adn any utility like suitcase which also might have a mm font open. Symptoms of this are you change the point size, and it instantly returns to the original size.
Also install the 12.01 CS2 update, if you need to
Problems related to palettes (slow redraw, palettes go white, possible crash) have been addressed.

F7 and F8 Keyboard shortcuts won't work correctly.

I've just recently installed LR3.6 and it's my first experience with LR. I've been following Lynda.com tutorials and all of a sudden the F7 and F8 function keys won't work.
The F7 just does nothing and the F8 opens iTunes every time I press it. I've tried everthing I know (not being much of a Techie) without success. I installed one upgrade download since I installed the original CD software. Should I just delete the program and re-install the program? I believe the F-keys were woking originally. I'm sorry, but I was going thru the tutorials and not being as observant as I should. All I know for certain is that they do not work now.
I'm using an iMac 27 with the wireless keyboard. OSX 10.6.8.
Thanks for any help. - John, Vancouver, WA

Indesign CS5 shortcuts won't work

i have just installed creative suite 5 and when i came to open indesign none of the keyboard shortcuts or toolbars were there. i previously used a free trial of indesign cs4 before uninstalling it to install cs5. i have been to edit> keyboard shortcuts> set, but there is nothing there (nothing in the drop down box) and when i have tried to manually assign shortcuts it won't let me save them. i have also been to c:> program files> adobe> Adobe InDesign CS5> presets, and there are no keyboard presets saved here unlike illustrator were there is a folder called keyboard presets. if anyone can help i would be very grateful

There is an Adobe Technote available that covers missing keyboard shortcuts etc in InDesign CS4. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408055.html am wondering if you are encountering a similar issue in CS5. Might be worth having a look at this.

Spotlight shortcut won't work anymore, Pref Pane not loading properly

Today, without any new installs etc., Spotlight stopped responding to my keyboard shortcut (CTRL+Space), and the Spotlight Search Window won't launch with its shortcut (CTRLALTSpace). If I click on the magnifier, it works.
I tried to go into Spotlight preferences, but the pref pane wouldn't load, getting stuck at Loading Spotlight...
I clicked on another pref pane, then clicked on Show All, then tried SL again, and it loaded, only the bottom 4 categories in the Searth Results tab are all blank: no icon, no description. I unchecked them, checked them again, booted into Safe Mode, repaired permissions, all to no avail.
What's eating my Spotlight? Any tips appreciated.

If I run System Preferences, then click on Spotlight, like I state above, it gets hung on Loading Spotlight...
If at that point I right-click the System Preferences icon in the Dock, then select Spotlight from the pop-up menu (or if I simply click on the Spotlight icon of the Preferences window once more), Spotlight Preferences do load up. Alas, some of the categories in the Search Results are blank. Currently, the only categories showing are: Applications, System Preferences, Documents, Folders, and Mail Messages. Categories underneath these 5 (Nos. 6-14) are all blank lines.
If I attempt to re-order any of the blank ones and bring one of them to the top area of the list, where the categories are showing their names, then exit System Preferences, then open System Preferences once again, then click on Spotlight, then click on Spotlight a second time so it opens, then I see that more categories are now not showing (i.e. their lines are blank, just the category number shows, plus the check box, checked or unchecked).
If, though, I re-order any of the blank lines so that they are moved further down the list, i.e. lower than other blank lines, then exit and reopen Spotlight preferences (with all the click and click again involved), then there are more categories showing their names.
I found out I can follow this 'technique', but I get stopped when I'm left with just one category that's still blank. I can't fiddle with that last one in any way to make it show up its name next time I open System Preferences and manage to load Spotlight.
Oh, and throughout the whole process, however many times I try to set my Spotlight shortcuts at the bottom of the pane, they don't stick: next time I see the pane, they're gone, replaced by two empty fields. Only way to invoke Spotlight is by clicking on the magnifier.
So, anyone still following this bizarre hick-up? And, more importantly, any ideas what I can do to alleviate the problem, short of driving a metal rod through my MacBook Pro's screen?

Illustrator CS5 shortcuts - don´t work

Hi everyone,
after upgrading to CS5 on my work Mac, all of my favourite keyboard shortcuts (which are not custom) seems not to work. Here are the basics functions I´m missing:
cmd+space = ZOOM IN
tab when resizing objects = keeps the aspect ratio/proportions og the object
holding alt then dragging objects = duplicate them
These are very important funtions for me, but they don´t work for some reason. Scaling objects and keeping the same proportions is now a much longer process than I am used to.
Would be glad if someone have a solution to this problem. The shortcuts are not listet in the properties, so I don´t know where to find them either.
Best regards from Norway!

I have investigated this problem some more, after finding out thru this forum at it's caused by some interferance with other software/plugins. I now have everything going as usual, that includes iTunes and Firefox, but I have not installed the Delicious plugin for Firefox - and it seems to work. I have not experienced the problem thru the last days, which is very unusual in the positive manner .
The solution must be that if you have this problem or similar problems, it's probably caused by other software. try closing on by one, and restart CS4/5. Sort out which software is causing the problem.
Weird think is that on my home computer, also an iMac with the exact same configuration as my work computer, this problem does not appear with any software installed. I have all plugins running in Firefox at all time, and every software is exactly the same as work...
Thanks!

[solved] xfce keyboard shortcuts won't work, tried arch wiki solution

Keyboard shortcuts defined in the xfce's keyboard settings don't work, as described in the wiki:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfc … 7t_working
When I kill xfce4-settings-helper the shortcuts work again. After restarting X the problem returns. I renamed '/etc/xdg/autostart/xfce4-settings-helper-autostart.desktop' and '~/.config/autostart/xfce4-settings-helper-autostart.desktop' as described in the wiki, But the second file is regenerated after restarting X. Does anyone know a good solution?
