Mouse drag, hand tool not working at all!

So I've installed Photoshop CC 2014 and Illustrator CC 2014 on my computer, started a new file but only found that any action that includes mouse dragging - creating shapes, hand tool, pen tool - do not work at all, everything just do not respond, when creating a shape it will treat it as if I have clicked once (which pops out the create rectangle window for size input..), the same situation happens to Photoshop as well (perhaps all Adobe CC software). I've been trying everything that have been suggested on the forum (some from the links below): removing all other software at the background (spotify, 1password, etc). Also I've tried with using different sets of keyboard and mouse, either wired and wireless, still no luck. One situation that finally works is that all software work perfectly fine in safe mode, then I rebooted back to normal mode, try killing any background process that was not running in safe mode, still...not working at all...

Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Photoshop CS5.1 Hand Tool Not Working.

My hand tool quit working. I looked in the forums. I've closed all browsers, restarted, rebooted, and removed the prefs.psp file. Not sure what to do now?

Thanks but no. It's not the spacebar. The handtool works fine in Illustrator

Momentary Hand Tool Not Working

I can select the hand tool from the tool bar or pressing H and can pan around the preview window. But I cannot get the momentary hand tool to work on this new laptop. With the Selection Tool activated, when I press the Space Bar, I get the hand icon, but pressing the left mouse key and dragging does nothing. It is driving me crazy.

THANK YOU JAMES!
I have been dealing with this issue for months!
Having to go and grab the hand tool from the box was a major pain in the @$$!
I thought is was a windows 7 issue.
I did what you said , and the hand tool is working again! woo hoo!

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!

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?

Spacebar hand tool not working in PSCS5

It's not specifically the browsers, methinks.
I was running Chrome side by side with Photoshop CS5 and it worked fine until I used the Anesidora extension on my chrome. I disabled it and turned Chrome back on and my spacebar shortcut came back!
Too bad no Pandora along with your work...

Space bar hand tool not working

I have just got a Laptop with windows 8, and put my Photoshop CS5 on, so far eveything works appart from the space bar hand tool, which I use a lot.
Its not working in RAW either.
Thanks

Hello Cozmic photos!
I was also having this problem but I have found the soloution! It took me a very long time to figure it out but I finally have. I also have windows 8 and I have updated to windows 8.1 . As soon as I did that update I had to "re-install" my touchpad synaptics driver... I thought little of this. It just hit me aobut a week ago why the spacebar hand tool shortcut wasn't working. I have a Acer laptop, 64Bit, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, and running Windows 8.1.
So, the that the spacebar is not working IS because the driver that is installed for your touchpad or trakpad is disabling some features for use of the spacebar and your finger movemnet on the trackpad at the same time. Sadly, there is no way to fix this problem YET. But, if you use a mouse or a graphics tablet you will be able to get this feature back!
I hope you understand the problem now. The only way to ix this is by notifying Synaptics about this issue and the next updated driver will have this issue fixed!
Have a good day!

Mouse - Drag and drop not working

The Drag and drop feature is not working with my mouse. The mouse was tested and is fine. It's a software thing. It works with everything else, but if I try to select something and drag it, it doesn't work. Any advice?

PaulyK,
Believe it or not it may take multiple or several restarts....not just a couple. I have seen where it took 5 or 6. I have also seen where this did not clear the problem.
re: "Any other upgrades that might help with out having to buy new software"
The 10.2.8 update to Jaguar was the last before the "upgrade" to 10.3 Panther which is a paid upgrade.
There is a third party utility Dragster that may correct this problem or you can delete the associated files that it deletes manually. The files are:
com.apple.desktop.plist
com.apple.dock.plist (your choice to delete this or not)
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.LaunchServices.LocalCache.csstore
com.apple.LaunchServices. plist
com.apple.LauchServices. UserCache.csstore
LSApplications
LSClaimedTypes
LSSchemes
The contents of the /Library/Caches/ folder
You should have no problem with this utility or deleting the files manually if you go that route but I cannot vouch for it as it is third party....Use at your own risk!
edit: I just noticed that the link is no longer working for Dragster and the software now is part of a retired collection of apps from ifthen software.
If after multiple restarts and/or using Dragster or manually deleting the associated problem files you have no luck you might want to try applying the 10.2.8 Combo Update again to see if this will clear up the problem. Remember to repair permissions from Disk Utility before and after the update.
The Combo Update can be found here.
Post back if still no luck,

Spacebar hand tool not working

my spacebar hand tool is not working (the shortcut key of holding the spacebar)

Hit he space bar repeatedly. If that doesn't do it, quit Photoshop, then hold down the Command+Option+Shift keys as you re-launch Photoshop and keep them down until you see the dialog box that allows you to delete, trash or reset your Photoshop preferences.

Mouse dragging cycle region not working What am I missing?

Hi,
Pretty new to STP. I'm using STP 2.02. I'm following a on line tutorial whereby the person just simply mouse drags and highlights a section on the waveform a section they wish to remove by command delete. dragging my mouse does nothing but move the entire audio clip.
I feel like a retard, seems like the easiest thing to do yet I can't figure it out..
Any guidance would be great.
Cheers

i figured it out. I just had to open the aiff file rather than bring it in via FC..
thanks!

Drag And Drop Not Working At All

I've been banging my head on this one for a few hours now. If
I go
here
and download the example air app and install it, it works perfectly
fine. However when I create my own air application in and
copy/paste the code and try to debug or run it through flex it
doesn't allow me to drag an image onto it. Is there something
special in Flex Builder that you have to do to get this to
work?

Ok, If I publish a release build of my air app then the
functionality works.
Is it not an option to have drag and drop from the desktop
when debugging the application in Flex Builder? Seems kind of dumb
that this would not be allowed.

Lasso tool not working at all. Please help!

Hi Community. I just started the CC version of Illustrator and the lasso tools isn't working. I am able to select the tool and draw an outline with it, but nothing is selected when I make a closed loop. I cannot select anything in any way with the lasso tool. I have made sure that I am circling strokes that are on the active layer. Please help!! I'm currently stuck in my project as a result.

What OS do you have, have you updated to thte latest dot verison eg: 10.9.1?
Reset your Illustrator preferences? Try making a new documnet really simple, to see if this happens on all documennts.

Fade Tool Not Working At All!!!

I've read every post about this issue thus far and none of them has helped. I am not using Apple Loops Files F.Y.I., Im not using multiple takes of audio so lets clear that up first. All I am trying to do is use the **** fade tool on a single track of Audio. I have tried converting to every audio file format I changed the advanced settings...etc...etc.. still no Fade Tool!! why is the fade tool so **** elussive?? Please...anyone this really annoying

On my machine it is even worse. Logic crashes every time when I select the Fade Out command and that is on a new Project, just with one new Region. It happens on both machines, an iMac and MacBOok, both with the most recent OSX 10.9.4 (BTW, same crash behavior on the Yosemite beta version)

Spacebar hand tool not working in PSCS6

The shortcut is conflicting with Google Chrome.

It's not specifically the browsers, methinks.
