Mouse delay in Photoshop CS

Been happily using PS CS daily for several years. All of a sudden, I am now experiencing a delay between my mouse commands and PS. eg. I select the clone brush. When I want to set the area to clone, I hold alt key and click left mouse button. It takes a second or two before it actually registers my command. Before it was instant. Same as if I want to enlarge the window size of an image. It takes a second or two before the pointer changes to allow me to drag the window larger. It never used to be like this. It was always instant. It is VERY frustrating.
I haven't upgraded or installed anything that may have caused this. I am running XP SP3 on a quad core PC for 4GB RAM. This PC is NOT connected to the Internet as it is my work station and I need it to be reliable. I have tried the obvious rebooting and tweaking memory usage all to no avail. I really don't want to uninstall/reinstall as I have a lot of plugins installed and no real time to do this.
Can anyone shed some light on how I might fix this problem??
Thanks for any input,
Copey

Thanks for the quick reply Noel.
Nothing has been installed on the PC in last 3 months. Problem started yesterday.
No hardware changes in 8 months.
I have not changed anything in the BIOS.
No bad power restart.
The whole system is only 8 months old.
I have checked the Event Log and there is nothing evident.
This ONLY happens with Photoshop. No problems with any of my other programs including ImageReady and Premiere. This indicates to me that it is a problem with Photoshop specifically.
Thanks

After reinstalling Photoshop CS6 Bridge is very slow. It takes 15 sec to respond to a mouse click. Photoshop is OK.

I had to reinstall Photoshop CS6 after rebuilding my PC. Now Bridge takes 15 sec to respond to a mouse click. Photoshop is fine. I have installed all updates.
Any thoughts?

Slow as compared to what? Have you seen better performance with older versions of Photoshop?
>after app launched, it takes nearly 5 seconds to be able to browse through menus
Takes my system longer than that to start Photoshop CS5, and while my computer isn't a top-of-the-line workstation today (it was a few years ago), it's no slouch. Photoshop has never been a fast application to start up.

Huge Delay in Photoshop CS4 features

Hey. I've download Photoshop CS4 and running it in trial mode. When I use the brush tool for example, the delay in it actually printing on the paper after I click and drag is like 1-2 seconds. I have a pretty good PC, 2.4ghz @ quad.
Any ideas?

uncheck advanced drawing in the gpu enable advanced features.
you may also want to turn of 'show overlay' and clipping in the clone stamp feature if you use that often and notice a delay.

MBP quad-core i7 2.3GHz. Magic Mouse delay on external monitor

I got a mouse issue with Photoshop.

When trying to use the brush or any tool, the tool doesn't Hold drag. Clicking and holding to use the brush only creates the initial mark (dot). I have a MacBook Air and Photoshop Elements 11. I searched on the internet and people say its got to do with a program named Synergy but I really do not know. Hope you can help me.

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!

Magic mouse delay in scrolling

When I scroll through pages in pdf documents, there is a definite response delay, which is very annoying. Any ideas on how to fix this?

No. There is no scroll ball; the cursor movement is controlled through the sensor in the bottom (near the green light).
Is that green light showing as on? You could try cleaning the sensor with a damp, not wet, cotton bud and white vinegar. Disconnect the batteries first.
Here are Apple's formal notes on your problem.

Mouse Jumps in Photoshop cs4

Hi,
I am having Adobe photoshop CS4 Version:11.0.1 installed in my laptop with oprating system Windows 7 64 bit.
I am having trouble of mouse jumps always, I am realy frustrated with this, please provide me soltion to get rid of this problem.
Thanks

Here's two other ways when in cmyk, but the settings below may need some
tweaking depending on which cmyk profile your using and your idea of what sepia
should look like.
For these to work, you'll have to desaturate the layer: To retain the smart
object, you could double click on the smart object icon, then in the image
that opens, go to Image>Adjustments>Desaturate and then save. This will
update the smart object in your original image.
1. Add a Color fill adjustment layer and set the layer blending mode to either overlay, softlight
or color.
2. Use a color balance adjustment layer and only adjust the Midtones.

Citrix Secure Gateway over https reverse proxy - mouse delay

Hello,
i've a citrix secure gateway 3.1 server behind BM 3.9 SP2. I've configured a https reverse proxy to the gateway webserver. the citrixfarm is in our internal lan. My problem is, that i've very strange delays in citrix applications with mouse movement. The delay is about 1-2 seconds. If i connect directly from the DMZ to the gatway server, no delay was happend? So, my idea is, that the reverse proxy is the problem? Any idea would help!
Is it possible to create filter exceptions, delete the reverse proxy, and connct directly per SSL to the citrix secure gateway server. If yes, can anyone tell me the filter exception rules.
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Norbert

Glitchy mouse activity in photoshop

Hello,
I am experiencing issues in Photoshop, where my mouse/arrow flickers back & forth constantly between whatever tool I am using and the black arrow. It is only in Photoshop that this seems to be happening. I have also tried using my wacom instead of my mouse and it is still happening. Please help!
Thank you!

Magic Mouse erratic in Photoshop

The magic mouse is acting crazy in Photoshop. I click and once my hand is off, the picture either minimizes to a dot or maximizes to gigantic pixelated size. So, for Photoshop I use a Microsoft Mouse and I have no problems.
I can't figure out why the MM is behaving like that. I doesn't happen in any other application, but then the Microsoft Intellimouse works perfectly.

Personally, and this is just my opinion and advice being stated here, but depending how much you use Photoshop and what you use Photoshop for, I would forget using Apple's Bluetooth wireless mice (and, perhaps, forget their wireless trackpad, although I have been told its tracking is much better than the wireless Magic Or Mighty Mouse) and stick to using a third party wired mouse or wired trackpad or even older IR remote wireless mice or trackpads as most IR wireless input devices track better and have better resolution.
I found Apple's Magic Mouse frustrating and terrible with all but more expensive higher grade batteries designed for high drain electronic devices.
And sometimes would not pair with my IMac or work erratically, too!
I return it within 14 days. I like the way it looked, but not how it worked.
I used to use IR wireless Microsoft and Logitech mice that tracked and worked real well.
I just, recently,purchase the Mac version of the Logitech Bluetooth Wireless trackpad and so far this works excellent with normal computer use, but haven't really tested using this for all my design and image editing apps, as yet.
I use a wired USB Wacom Intuous 3 drawing tablet with 3 brush pens and the high resolution mouse for all of my design apps.
Consider sticking to a wired input device or trying another third party input device.

Mouse - delay....

Are you getting a delay in response from your mouse when you close certain applications and/or windows?
Everytime I go and close a window with Cmd-W, there is a delay of about a second or so before my mouse reacts. It sort of lies there, and I can't move the pointer - but I can press the mouse button, if it's already lying on something pressable.
Normally I'm used to flying by from one thing to another so fast that this delay is becoming really annoying.
Apple - please do a quick fix.
I have 2 Gigs RAM, this shouldn't be happening. And it doesn't matter what sort of application it is, it happens with every window.

Uncheck the 'Ignore accidental trackpad input' box in your Keyboard & Mouse preferences. This clears up the delay when you switch from typing to tracking quickly.

Malfunction/mouse delay

dear people
while working with my mac, after a couple of hours the mouse suddenly starts to get slowly and less precisely.
Then the program stops and I have to restart the program or the computer.
this happens with almost every program.
after restarting the computer it all happens all over again
is there anyone who knows about this problem and the solution?
thank you in advance / regards
richard van ligten

Drahcir,
It would help us to know which G5 iMac "model" you have & how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by going to 'preferences' which is located in the column on the right under your name, click on "My Settings" and filling in the information asked for.
This will help in providing you with the proper and/or correct troubleshooting solutions.
Thank You.
PS: If you do not know the model of your Mac, see Knowledge Base Article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301724#301724 How to identify your iMac
Thank you
====================
It would help if you indicate what type of mouse you are using. If you are using the Mighty Mouse the following you may find useful.

TIP: To get to the gook inside the scroll nipple use a plastic toothpick.
If still having problems please provide more details & the above requested information.

Mouse Delay After Typing

Hi!
After I press a key, the trackpad is disabled for about 1 or 2 seconds afterwards. My previous Lenovo laptop's trackpad had a PalmCheck setting which, when disabled, would eliminate the problem. However, my Flex 15's Alps trackpad settings dialog doesn't have that (at least not that I saw). There's a Palm Size option, but setting it to the widest option doesn't help.
Thanks in advance!

Are your songs and apps still restoring?
It may be a bad install too.
Try this:
First backup then
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
After it finishes, restore from backup (iTiunes/iCloud)

Some other info:
You know that you can control Photoshop input fields http://screencast.com/t/ApVseKYRxz with the mouse scroll wheel. Pretty handy indeed. You just have to click on the field and spin the wheel and values changing.
The problem:
My mouse wheel cannot control the input fields in this way. I select the field, spin the wheel and nothing happen. When I spin it faster a couple of times, than the values get changing - pretty strange ha? Scrolling normally - do not change, scrolling fast change. But to scroll fast is not an option because I cannot change the values slightly with small increments... There is a bug really...
What I tried and didn't work:
1. Restarted Photoshop
2. Plug/Unplug and change different USB slots for both receivers.
3. Reintalling latest SetPoint Drivers (after uninstall I run ccleaner)
4. Put all SetPoint settings to defaults (because I programmed some mouse keys to Photoshop specifically).
5. Install earlier versions of SetPoint drivers.
6. Set my UEFI BIOS to defaults.
7. Restarted the BIOS to load all the drivers again, but still no luck
(the last think I didn't do is to reinstall Photoshop)
What I have investigated so far:
1. When I restart the computer and run Photoshop it works perfect HA! , but after a seconds it do not words again ...
2. When I stop SetPoint software, when I shut down it, it words perfect.
3. When I unplug keyboard receiver it words perfect, but I do not have keyboard:)
4. Everything works perfect in Illustrator and After effects.
5. Also I noticed that when I scroll images in CameraRaw - http://screencast.com/t/xKnn6cY9 the I have to scroll harder and spin the wheel harder to scroll - the same problem.
6. Also in photoshop and bridge scrolling here - is pretty smooth and works perfect - http://screencast.com/t/75IXMG6Zria
Maybe the most important part - When I start experiencing the problem:
I had same configuration , same everything and everything worked fine.
I installed SSD disk, reinstalled Windows (same like before), updated my BIOS to UEFI. Installed Photoshop and SetPoint and problem started.
Posted same request to Logitech, but want to ask you for help too.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I found a solution.
1. Uninstall your current Setpoint Driver.
2. Run CCleaner - http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
3. Download an older version of SetPoint - http://www.oldapps.com/setpoint.php
(I used SetPoint 6.15 (x64), I tried 6.20, 6.32, 6.50 , but no luck)
4. Now everything is all right!
Thanks!
Can somebody mark this as solved? Thanks!

Mouse not working in Photoshop cs6 on OS Mavericks

I am using Photoshop CS6 on OS Mavericks.
Now I can't use my mouse anymore in Photoshop. The mouse doesn't change with respect to the tool I selected, when I go over the image. So i can't use the mouse for nothing in Photoshop.
Its my first time I use PS under OS X, before I always worked on a Windows system.So propably I am missing a simple step or a setting?
Thank you for your help.

I just found the solution, so simple: My bluetooth connection was on, so my Macbook connected to my external keyboard, which caused the problem.
Hope it helps someone else.
