Macbook pro and photoshop - alt/option

Recently purchased a Macbook Pro 15in. When using photoshop or illustrator, with the track pad or tablet, while using the pen tool, I get the 'V' convert anchor tool, but when I start to drag an anchorpoint, it moves the artboard around instead of the anchor point. I also get the same thing when I try to use the Zoom tool. I use the alt/option key to zoom out, then the same thing happens.
Any one else have this issue? Just checked on my Macmini, with keybaord, and there is no problem.

I' gonna go ahead and bump this. I can't seem to zoom or use the pen tool without switching tools manually. It's killing me.

Macbook Pro and Photoshop CS2, Photoshop Elements 4.0?

I own CS2 for the Mac and use it on my G5. I've already gone through the attempts to install it on my MacBook Pro and had the setup program hang. Ok, so I have to wait for a fix from someone to get that going.
Does anyone know if PS Elements 4.0 for the Mac will successfully install and run on the MB Pro? If so, that's good enough for what I want to do right now and I'll go get one. However, if it's going to produce the same hang in setup, I'm no further ahead with that solution.
I'm open to ideas.. thanks.

I have one of the new 17" MBPs. Photoshop CS2 and pretty much the rest of my Adobe CS2 package installed without any problems, but none of them will run. I keep getting the "This program unexpectedly terminated" message. I have the Quicktime update. In fact, as I wrote this post, Quicktime just "Unexpectedly" quit. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something very amiss with the new MBPs?

Macbook pro (retina) and photoshop - alt/option draggin art board not zooming or anchor mod tool

So I posted this in the apple forums... No response and it's been a couple days...
Anyon have any idea how to fix this?
I'm using the latest OSX, with the latest CC versions. I'm using a late model Macbook pro.
When I'm in photoshop and i use the alt/option key while using the pen tool, and I start to select and modify an anchorpoint, the artboard or file window starts to move.
Same for when I use the zoom tool.
Both tools switch to the appropriate modifier, pen to Anchor modifier, and zoom to zoom out ( - ).
When I click or drag, they don't work. I think it's something to do with the ley bindings, but when I use my mac mini, i.e a desktop with full keyboard, I don't have this problem. It's seriously killing my productivity having to switch back and forth between the Pen tool and anchor modification tool. And lord knows the weird ways I have to deal with the zooming.
I'm using the track pad, a mouse, and a wacom. This issue is exhibited across all input devices.

Here is information on my upgrade from my previous work machine… which is a pc to the mac… as I also had/have a late 2008 macbook, which was actually good bait lol, was impressed by how it ran for an 2008 model of a computer..
1)Lenovo Think Pad/idea pad (21/10/2011 - release date)
£800
Intel i3 CPU 2 cores/4 threads. 2.3 GHz
Intel Intel® HD Graphics 3000 +
Nvidia GeForce GT 520M
RAM 8GB
Storage 500 GB (normal hard drive)
Heavy to carry with bad back from home and to the studio and back.
New Machine:
2)Apple Macbook Pro
£1099
(xx/10/2013 -release date)
Intel i5 CPU 2 cores/4 threads. 2.6 GHz
Intel® Iris™ Graphics 5100
RAM 8GB
Storage 512GB flash storage (SSD)
lighter than late 2008 Macbook and easier to carry...
The two old machines are still running and looked after them well, and giving them away as gifts… to those who don't have computers. I always worked with them on a desk surface, so they would not overheat when rendering still 3D artworks and animations, so it should last on average life span then...

Hi LamboMong,
just try this:
http://refit.sourceforge.net
install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
(The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
I hope that will solve your problem.

I have a new macbook pro and just made a video on imovie and it asked me to put it on idvd but there is no idvd listed as an option. How can I get idvd?

Since Apple has stopped supporting and offering iDVD you'll need to purchase the iLIfe 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11 which will include iDVD 7.

I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left. How do I fix this?

I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left. Do I need to start completely over and delete the content in my new library to prevent duplicates or is there a way to continue the process?

if my external hard drive is not connected to either of my machines, and I download something onto my iMac and then something different onto my Macbook, where are my machines going to be storing the new downloaded media
when the drive is not connected, +iTunes media folder location+ will default back to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)
and when I next connect the external hard drive how will I easily get the newly downloaded media onto the external HD
you'd have to point +iTunes media folder location+ back to the external via preferences > advanced > iTunes media folder location, then file > library, organize library > consolidate files
and essentially, to have it easily readable on both machines?
in that case it might be best to copy the entire iTunes folder to the external. then, on each machine, launch iTunes while pressing option on your keyboard. when prompted, click on +choose library+ and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external.
note only one iTunes can access the iTunes library @ a time !
also, make sure the external is mounted on either machine before launching iTunes.

Well, my two-month-old MBP has no qualms about booting from a no-name external USB HD I put together...
Given that is is a common point of failure, I would imagine a large Apple Store should keep a stock of HD's on hand.
Now since you're a bit desperate and the genie pops up til Saturday and you seem to be the enterprising kind, let's try an experiment: if you have room enough in the external HD and assuming it isn't a Time Machine volume, why don't you plug it in, stick the Install CD and see if the installer lets you select the external drive as the install target. If you can install Leopard on it, on top of the backup without reformatting, and the Mac can boot from the drive afterwards, at least you would have some functionality restored and would be able to pull your stuff from the internal HD. Apple says booting from USB drives is not supported but that does not equate to not possible; some brands do work. Risks? Always. You can always lose your backup. Like I said, a challenge for an enterprising gal....
Next time around, consider having a bootable external clone at hand for rainy days. I keep three myself...
P.S. Since I'll be in the Dallas-FW area in late June, I can volunteer with the confetti....

You can install and activate CS6 on both machines perfectly legally.

Get the CS6 installation file and when you run it on the separate machine choose to install only the programs you wish it to have.

Adobe is moving from the purchase of a license for their software to the renting of it. I'm old school so I'd prefer a perpetual license. But you already have a subscription to Illustrator so I guess it'd be advisable to look into whether expanding the subscription to include other software will save you some money. Also I remember something about Adobe adding features to its Cloud version which aren't also added to the licensed version and a different way of handling updates and upgrades. Indeed, Adobe states that CS 6 has reached the end of the road. So if you're going to stay with Adobe, you may very well be stuck.
I'd suggest spending some time in the Adobe Communities. You'll likely find people complaining about choices they've made that you'll have to make too. Let them be the beta testers.
