Indesign cs6 don't work !!!!

indesign cs6 don't work !!!! it crash on starting up service registry
Help me

Did it ever work? Is your default printer network or local, and is it turned on?
If you create a new user, does it work when you log in using the new account?
Unfortunately windows doesn't provide useful crash logging for ID, so we need to guess. My memory is that this used to be caused by SING ( see SING Removal) but SING was removed from CS6, supposedly though maybe the plugins are stil there for use with legacy files. It can also be casued by bad prefs ( see Replace Your Preferences) or a bad font (Troubleshoot font problems | Windows) in addition to the account and printer problems mentioned above.
You'll find a lot of threads about this if you google site:forums.adobe.com "starting up service registry" InDesign

Lenovo Energy Management broken under Windows 8 - Shortcuts don't work

I've noticed that the Energy Management tool does not work properly under Windows 8 on a U300S.
Especially stuff like the keyboard shortcuts don't work:
Pressing F7 to toggle the wireless and bluetooth settings doesn't bring up the usual onscreen-menu like it does in Windows 7
The buttons to toggle the display brightness bring up the Windows 8 style brightness indicator but doesn't work.

Anyone?

Keyboard shortcuts don't working.

I used to my keyboard shortcuts at my mac, iphone and ipad bur my mac book don't work any more with this shortcuts. All my settings are ok on my iphone and ipad but it don't syncronize.
Some onde can help me with this?

Your user account is not named Administrator, though, is it? You probably don't have the built-in Administrator account turned on (it's off by default). See Built-in Administrator Account - Enable or Disable - Windows 7 Help Forums and Elevated Command Prompt - Windows 7 Help Forums for directions on how to turn this account on and off.
Before you do that, though, you can try some other things. Go to your current user account, as directed in the previous post, and rename the two Adobe folders, reboot and restart ID. New folders should be created, and hopefully the permissions will be correct. If the shortcuts still are not there.
If that doesn't work, delete or rename the new Adobe folders created in the previous attempt, go to Users in Control Panel and create a new user account with and make it an administrator, then log on with that account and start InDesign. If the shortcuts work, copy the Adobe folders to your original user account.
Still not working? Make sure you are logged in on your regular account. On each of the two Adobe folders in your user profile right-click and choose Properties, then the Security tab. Verify that your user and System both have full control.
Still not working? Time to activate the Administrator Account.
Set a Restore Point before you do any of this stuff, just in case....

Hyperlinks that I create in InDesign CS3 don't work in the PDF

I've created several hyperlinks in an InDesign CS3 file, using the Hyperlinks panel. But when I export to PDF format, the hyperlinks don't work. Even the ones that start with http:// or www. don't work. Is that just the way it is? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Ellen

Is there a button? I don't see anything saying "Hyperlinks" in the Export dialog box. I've attached an image of what I'm seeing.
Thanks

Photoshop CC 2013 and OS X Yosemite - Lag, Shortcuts Don't Work

I don't have a regular Creative Cloud account. The version of Creative Cloud 2013 master collection is installed on my computer, and it can't be updated because it's not a Team CC account. The collection was provided from my work.
The Version I have is Photoshop CC 14.2.1 x64
Anyways, the big problems I am having is lagging on Photoshop are: Shortcuts are barely working.
Can't press the "UNDO" shortcut, have to use Drop down menu at the top of my computer.
Spot Healing Brush is lagging when I go over something it leaves a dark mark, and when I click it again then it goes away
The shortcut to zoom in or zoom out it doesn't go for like 20 seconds
Any of the brush tools when I try to enlarge or make smaller using the shortcut key [ or ] it won't work.
I knew I shouldn't have updated to Yosemite and deeply regretting it right now.
Does anyone have any solutions to my problem??

Installing the WhiteWindowWorkaround plugin may help that issue: Menus, shortcuts, Lasso tool, or Photoshop stop working ...

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!

Hi guys, Having a problem with emoji. I have the emoji on my dock which I found a shortcut on Cult of the Mac. I click on the emoji and drag it to my email or whatever, and it will not drop into place. There is a blue square. Other shortcuts don't work.

Hi Guys,
Having problem with emoji, I have the character palette shortcut on my dock which I found through article from Cult of the Mac. I click on the emoticon and drag it to my email or whatever and get a blue box - no emoji. I tried the keyboard shortcut - doesn't work. I tried the drop down the menu in edit - doesn't work either. I am running Lion and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Want to fix this before I upgrade or should I just upgrade and hope for the best? Been all over the net looking for solution.
Thanks for your help,
blueheron11

Pages does not support the Apple font used for color emoji, so that behavior is normal.
With what app are you reading the yahoo mail? There is really no guarantee than any other email service will show the special Apple font involved.
You should have no problem putting emoji directly into Mail or Text edit via drag drop from the Character Viewer as shown below.
You should also be able to upload graphics here easily by clicking on the camera icon. My email is tom at bluesky dot org.

[LAVA Cross Post] CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha Shortcuts don't work in LabVIEW

Cross-post from LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/
Bug Synopsis: CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts do not work in LabVIEW. Most notably, CTRL+SHIFT+Z, CTRL+SHIFT+E, and CTRL+SHIFT+S
Test setup: LV2012 32bit with f1 patch running in Win7 64bit inside a Parallels 8 VM in OS X 10.8.1
To summarize the testing I have tried:
Many different LabVIEW, Guest OS, and Host OS combinations all fail, including:
LV2012f1 32 and 64 bit, and LV2009 32 bit
Win7 32 and 64bit, and also WinXP x64
Parallels 7 and Parallels 8
OS X 10.7 and 10.8
Capturing the keyboard by the VM
Twiddling every keyboard setting possible on Parallels, Guest, and Host
Reinstalling keyboard drivers
Plugging in a known-good keyboard that works on a native Windows machine
Deleting LabVIEW.ini and letting it regenerate
Remapping the shortcuts from, e.g., CTRL+SHIFT+E to CTRL+E - in this case, "Show in Project" works, so this might indicate it's a problem registering the shortcut press, not invoking the action itself.
Sending the keystrokes via on-screen keyboards from both Guest and Host
Sending the keystrokes via SendInput from user32.dll WinAPI
Testing every imaginable combo of FN, CONTROL, ALT/OPTION, COMMAND/CMD, SHIFT
Reinstalling VMs from scratch and reinstalling LV
Here's a kicker: CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts work fine on other Windows programs (I've tried 4 different programs, including Chrome, Notepad++, Paint.NET), yet it does NOT work for VIPM with CTRL+SHIFT+C. This means that the only two programs where the CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha bugs exist are both LabVIEW-related.
Here's another kicker: It's only CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts with the prob - CTRL+SHIFT+3 properly toggles grid alignment, and the "Tools >> Options >> Menu shortcuts" will register any CTRL+SHIFT+Non-alpha shortcut; it just does not respond to the CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts.
Any new troubleshooting ideas are highly appreciated; please feel free to jump in here or on LAVA.

Illustrator Zoom and Grabber Hand shortcuts don't work

Hi There,
This morning I opened Illustrator and some of the keyboard shortcuts had stopped working - specifically:
Spacebar = Grabber Hand
Zoom In = Command Spacebar
Zoom Out = Command Option Spacebar
Is there a way to reset this to make these work again?
Also, if there's a shortcut or key combination that changed the defaults in the first place, is there a way to turn it off?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

When shortcuts stop working it's generally due to some third party application which has commandeered the shortcuts and refuses to let them go. Common culprits are Microsoft applications, Intuit applications, and some VPN applications. Make certain, if you are running any of this software, you've updated tot eh latest versions. You can test this by simply restarting the system. If the Illustrator shortcuts work after a reboot, then you absolutely have an issue with some third party application.

Yosemite Mail Shortcuts Don't Work

I just upgraded to Yosemite and my customized Mail shortcuts are not working.
I have shortcuts for changing the account I want a message sent from (Option-Command-G for Gmail, Option-Command-Y for Yahoo, etc).
I also have shortcut for select the signature (Option-Command-X for None).
After upgrading to Yosemite there is no way that I can make them work.
Any suggestion will be truly appreciated.
Regards.
Adolfo

Thank you lindytalbot.
Unfortunately, I had to downgrade to Mavericks.
Many issues. Bluetooth: Magic Mouse works inconsistently. Poor performance with Apple TV which I use it a lot with Skype for video conferencing. Shortcuts.
Again. thanks a lot for your reply.

Since I updated to Yosemite, keyboard shortcuts don't work in Safari

I use Yosemite 10.0.2 and Safari shortcuts are unresponsive. What to do?

Howdy peze,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there’s an issue with keyboard shortcuts in one specific app, Safari, since upgrading to OS X Yosemite. Take a look at the article linked below which describes a similar issue and walks you through the process of identifying conflicting keyboard shortcuts.

Command key shortcuts don't work anymore in Safari since upgrade to Yosemite!

Hi,
I recently upgraded the MacOSX to Yosemite. Since this moment Safari doesn't work properly anymore, because the command key shortcuts are out of order.
Cmd + Q
Cmd + C
Cmd + V
Cmd + X
These are now the key shortcuts I've noticed that aren't working anymore. Other apps (a part from Firefox) don't seem to have these problems.
In the meantime I have to use the mouse cursor and choose from the menu bar.
Apple support wasn't able to help me! They just gave me the advice force quit Safari and restart it while pushing the ALT-key. Result: Nothing!
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regard,
Steven

That is rather odd if they are all visible as shortcut commands.
Here are some more tests to do…
1) Disable all your Safari Extensions & retest (in Safari Preferences).
2) Logout of the account (from the Apple menu). At the login window enter your password & hold shift as you click the login button. Keep it held until the Desktop has become usable. This disables 'User login items' - retest. Logout after testing.
3) Try a safe boot… OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Does it still happen in safe mode? This disables third party extensions & some inessential Apple system extensions - things will not be normal, however the Mac should be 'functional', test as much as you can.
Post the results of those here, it may give us a better idea where to look.

Why don't text shortcuts don't work in OS X for Thunderbird

In Mail and other apps, on my Mac Book Pro, as well as my iPad, I set up and can use text shortcuts such as typing 'in2' and it expanding to 'I'll be there in 2'. It even works in Outlook for Mac, which I really don't care for. Why doesn't it work for Thunderbird? I really like the look and feel of Thunderbird, but this is a deal breaker for me. I use a lot of repetitive phrases.
Thank you.

Try this add-on.
