Moving around illustrator canvas/window

I'm having a hard time dragging the illustrator canvas/window when it goes behind the Application Bar/Control panel. Is there a keyboard+mouse command for dragging the window at any point on the window?

Wade,
Thanks a lot... thats exactly what I was looking for.
Scott,
Thanks for the Tab hint.

Photoshop CS2 redraw garbage when moving around an image window on my G4 laptop

Hi.I recently had to reinstall Photoshop CS2 onto my Mac Laptop 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4, running system 10.4.11, which required a new hard drive after the old one died. I am immediatly encountering a serious redraw/image repositioning problem in Photoshop that I have never seen before, and in Imageready as well. This does not happen in Macromedia Fireworks 8 however.
I am zoomed into an image. Using the hand tool, or the scroll bars or the arrows, as soon as I move an image little messed up line graphic glitches appear and stay in place for the remainder or working with an image, and ultimately covers the image completely after moving around within it a number of times. you can see examples of this in these screenshots I've uploaded:

and the lines stay the same size and position even when zooming in. here's the same image w/ the same defects zoomed out and in:

I've tried trashing & re-installing photoshop completely, tried running it before the updates needed from the original Photoshop application disk, and after. still the same problem.
This occurs only when using the laptop on its own. When I hook it up to my Apple Studio Cinema Display, it works fine. The problem does not occur on the Cinema Display OR the laptop screen! it's very odd. Basically, the laptop is now something I cannot actually use away from my desk until this is resolved.
Has anyone ever encountered this or possibly have any suggestions or advice? Thanks so much!

Hi. Thanks for your responses. There is definitely some incorrectness in the info I provided about the computer. for the Hard Drive, it's odd.. I copied and pasted that from my system profiler.. In actuality the Hard Drive is 74.53 GB. Not sure how that error occurred.
Also I looked again at the computer's memory. I forgot the second larger 1GB memory card when I was copying and pasting from the system profiler. Sorry about that. I was in a but of a rush to get the question out.

Another thing I noticed about the problem I'm facing is that it leaves defects from mouse trails as well in the image window. None of the defects are lasting nor will they print. I close the file and they go away, if I zoom, they stay the same size. I'd agree, it sounds like a video card problem, but the reason I posted here is that only in photoshop and imageready do these problems occur. My guess, if it's the video card is that they are just programs that require more of the system. why my video card would be crapping out now, I have no idea. but I guess that's how it goes.
But why would it work fine when hooked up to the apple cinema display? even on the laptop screen itself the problem is not present. only when the laptop is on its own.
The computer has served me very well for almost 3 years without this problem, so that's why it's something that is not a normal problem that should be expected from this computer. I am grateful to have it & can't afford a new one.. this one is still sitting on my credit card balance. Thankfully I am under the applecare protection plan and will bring it in to the local Mac shop on monday and demonstrate the issue to them.
Thanks for your replies.

Moving around the canvas in Preview

Without a trackpad, is there an easy way to navigate around a large zoomed in document while in Preview? (using scroll bars is not easy)
In most Adobe apps, if I hold down the spacebar, I get a hand tool that allows me to pan around an image. But I don't know of any keyboard shortcut or tool inside of Preview. (There used to be a hand tool in Snow Leopard's Preview, if I remember correctly)

Hold down option and space.

Moving around the inspector window

I am able to bring up the Inspector Window via my keyboard. Does anyone know how to move about the functions within the Inspector Window with the keyboard and not the trackpad? It would save me time and my keystrokes would be more precise. Thank-you

Windows Crashes with JRE 1.4.2 When Moving around JDialog

Hi!
I work on a Java Applet/application that was originally written to run on java 1.1 -- only AWT that too. Recently I managed to convince my manager (and his manager and his manager) to migrate from the AWT framework on java 1.1 (Microsoft JVM that is ) to Swing/JFC on Sun Java 1.4.2 ... it took a lot of explaining, demostrating, begging, pleading etc., to get this project funded.
Now, my app is all developed in JFC and ready for deployment and during testing found a potential show stopper -- When a Dialog Box or any moveable componant (internal windows etc) is moved around (holding down the mouse on the title bar of a dialog and dragging it around), the OS simply froze up ... nothing could be done other than power cycling the PC. Does anyone know if its a bug in JRE 1.4.2 and if it has been fixed?? This could potentially result in rolling back to AWT :(( .... and of course me looking like a fool in front of my manager!!
..... Please provide any suggestion other than moving to JRE 1.5.x beta. I've also noticed this happening in other Java Applications (Netbeans for example). So, I think this is a major bug the JRE 1.4.2.
A million thanks and few Duke Dollars for anyone pointing me in the right direction.
Note:
1. This problem is not just with my app ... some other java apps that are installed on my workstation (like netbeans) behave the same when Moving Around dialog boxes.
2. The behaviour is very random. But it has happened multiple times (and the very first time my manager run our app on jre 1.4.2)
I would give a million dollars if I had them. But for now, please do with the million thanks and few duke dollars.

Have you tried this on another machine?Yes ... actually this has happened on a few workstations here ... all of them are Pentium IV based dell workstations running Windows 2000.
What exact version of 1.4.2 did you download?Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.4.2_04
Using JRE version 1.4.2_04 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
Have you searched the bug database? This one could be related to yours:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4673572
This sounds similar but the difference is its not just the app that feezes up (so that you could do an alt+ctrl+del and kill it)..... the OS freezes up and you can move the mouse around still the system even queu e is not full and eventuall all I hear is the beeping. At this point I've to power cycle.
Is there any way you could post the code or is it too big? Or, have you tried just creating a very small >application or applet that just shows one dialog, and if so, does that show the same problem? (What I'm >trying to get at here is - is it something in your code that is causing this, or something in the JRE, or >perhaps something to do with your machine's configuration/OS?)Unfortunately I cannot post the code ... its company rules and regulations. I've tried creating a very small app and it appears to work ok .... but randomly causes this freeze up. There is no definate pattern (except that it happens when you move around a JDialog or a JInternalFrame) . It could freeze up some time and work perfectly fine at other times. It has actually happened on other applications too (Netbeans, JEdit etc). That's why I suspect this might be a obscure bug in the JRE.
I'll try to find a pattern so that it can be re-produced by everyone.
Thanks for the help.

Hard to tell from here. This would be a first.
How is the camera connected and is it or anything else touching your keyboard?

Moving Around Arrange Window

Sorry everyone for not posting a more specific subject diliniation, but I simply don't know what the name even of this item is. Here's a picture of it:
It's the little cross hair tool at the bottom left of the Arrange window. It allows you to navigate in and around your Arrange window (among, of course, all the OTHER manners that you can navigate in and around the Arrange window). It is similar to (if not the equivalent of) the "hand/H" function in FCP, which allows you to smoothly move your timeline to a particular location. Here's my question though:
Can you get this little . . . thingymabob (somebody please tell me the name of it) to FLOAT so that you don't have to always go to the bottom left of the Arrange Window in order to access it? Or is there simply a key command that turns your curser into the tool and you can use it that way?
I'm looking to be able to do in Logic's Arrange window something similar to what you can do when you're in, say, the Preview application and you use the "move" tool (which is the hand tool) which allows you to hold click the mouse on the page and just move it around to the specific or desired area of the page.
Thank you all in advance,
Javier Calderon

Manual, p24:
"The X/Y scroll element is situated at the bottom left corner of the window. By grabbing and dragging it, you can move the horizontal and vertical window section, as if you were dragging both scroll bars simultaneously. When the cursor hovers over the X/Y scroll element, a crosshair icon with four arrowheads is displayed.
You can also engage the X/Y scroll feature by holding down a third button (the mouse wheel button, for example), and moving the mouse. The distance of the mouse pointer position from the initial clicked position determines the scrolling speed.
Note: Touching the background of the Arrange Window while holding Shift-Control also allows you to scroll the window both horizontally and vertically."

In admin, why do the windows keep moving around?

When I'm logged in as admin, the windows keep moving around and it's often impossible to do anything. Sometimes the windows turn blue.

Safe boot, holding Shift key at bootup, log into the admin account, does it srill happen?

White screen on Canvas window

I am using Final Cut and have created a small problem.
When viewing playback from the timeline in the canvas window, everything is fine. However, when I pause the playback the canvas window shows a white screen and when I try to move my text around etc, I can see the wireframe moving but I get a little black cross in the top right of the canvas.
Any ideas?

InDesign CC (CS7) Scrolling and moving around so slow and choppy!!

Adobe - please send out an update for CC!! Me and IT dept checked my Mac system requirements and all is fine there. Moving around on my pages (e.g. hand tool) and scrolling is so choppy, slow, and lags. And sometimes my art disappears and I'm looking at blank pages until I stop or let refresh for a bit.
I also noticed that when I'm in "preview mode," CPUs go down and much less choppy and smoother moving around, but I can't work in preview mode. (e.g. I need hidden characters on for Indexing markers, and my frames and guides on).
CS6 works MUCH smoother, but I can't save client files down if that's how they provide them to me. Please recommend any other suggestions or hopefully an update will help this issue.

I also hop on the issue to give it some more attention.
InDesign scolling lags badly, Tools are slow, Program crashes. Equal problems using Illustrator/Photoshop.
My Mac is not the newest – but CS6 was running like a charm before.
Some TechSpecs:
OSX Mavericks (Clean Install)
Core2Duo 2.4 GhZ
8GB 1067MhZ DDR3 RAM
OCZ Vertex SSD 256GB
Currently using the Test-Period of CC on this machine to figure out how it works – but that should not be a problem as the Programs are the same. As a student I would prefer the current discount offer (the normal rate is al little too much for me right now). Please fix this problem, otherwise I can't buy it the next year. Btw. Subscription method is great compared to the old payment method.

Warning symbol unicode U 26A0 / Alt 9888 can't display in Illustrator on Windows 7?

Hello all, I am an IT professional trying to help some mac users migrate to PC at our workplace.
Aside from some fonts that are missing, our major problem in moving operating systems is that our PC users are unable to use the warning sign symbol, which should be part of Arial Unicode MS font that is installed on Windows. I am able to type the exclamation point using alt and the numbers, or alt + and the 26A0 and have it appear in nearly all programs except for the creative cloud ones.
Our designers really need this caution symbol. I noticed that on mac os the system seems to pull this symbol from "AppleSymbols" font. There has to be some way to render it in Illustrator on Windows 7. When I use the key shortcuts in adobe programs I get an X'ed box. The same shortcuts render just fine in other programs not part of the adobe family. I really would appreciate input on this issue as it's a little over my head seeing as I know next to nothing about the Adobe applications.
I should note that obviously the mac users have no issue using this character.
Any ideas or direction would be greatly appreciated! here is a link to the character we need to be able to input in illustrator on Windows 7. http://www.marathon-studios.com/unicode/U26A0/Warning_Sign

Bad Video in FCP Canvas Window. Normal?

When I am scrubbing through the Canvas Window, I am get lots of distorted video. I posted a couple of screen captures to my Mobile Me gallery as examples.
http://gallery.me.com/jay.sims#100398
I am running a 27" Core i5 with 8 GB of RAM and 512 MB of video RAM.
I just recently upgraded to this current iMac from a '07 24" iMac. I did not have these issues with my old iMac, so now I am worried I may have a bad video card on my hands.
I have the most recent updates to FCP 7 installed.
Any ideas?

I have posted screen captures of my Sequence settings and clip properties in the gallery I linked to above.
I do not have exact answers yet for what is happening in the Viewer window or QuickTime Player. I tried scrubbing through a clip in the View window, but FCP crashed before I could see any results. I have not fully test QuickTime player yet.
I can add that this problem only seems to occur while scrubbing. Simply playing video in the Canvas window does not yield any bad results and everything looks fine.
Also, I moved all FCP folders and media to a different drive. That did not correct the issue.
And I have discovered that once the issues occurs I cannot render any video. Attempting to render video results in the message "Error! Out of memory.", which I assume is not a good sign.

HDV viewer vs canvas window

Its a bit strange. I've loaded HDV footage into bin. When I view the footage after dragging it to the viewer window it looks great but the window selection on top reads 29%......When I drag the same clip into the Canvas window (or the timeline) the footage looks DARKER and grainyer... the selector on top of the window says 100% or fit to window.
I believe it used to look a lot better than this. I have the project set to HDV 1080i. but why would one window look so much different than the other on the very same monitor.
Also if I extend the viewer window with the little tag at the bottom right hand corner of the window to a much larger size the picture gets as large as I expand it... If it try to expand the canvas window with that expansion handle, the window gets bigger but the video itself never changes size and still looks less impressive than the viewer window and the timeline. Is the fact that it is now on the timeline limit its resolution or quality. That doesnt make much sense?
I believe the canvas window looked darker and grainyer on a recent DV project also, using the NTSC DV settings.
One other thing. I did an HDV project this summer and it looked as I would have expected. The windows looked alike and I don't remember having to render all the footage everytime I turned around. The unlimited playback option in the timeline seemed able to handle it until I finished the timeline and conformed it out. Now I have to conform each shot as I bring it into the timeline.
I must be just one button away that will solve these issues.
Any help from the pros in this discussion board would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Thanks I created a new timeline with easy set up and dragged the HDV clips into the new time line. Now it looks great just like the Viewer window.
Question I thought when I started a project from scratch and I set up an easy set up for the project that this would automatically create a timeline that would handle the HDV footage, But I guess not. Do Ihave to make sure the timeline is set to the proper easy set up as well as the project? In this case it appears that that is what happened.
Thanks for your help.....At least now I know how to track down the problem if I drag an HDV clip onto the timeline and it requires rendering and the picture looks crummy compared to the Viewer window.

Need Help moving from mac to Windows

I did search the forum, but could not find it, so I thought I will ask.
I have to move from PowerBook to a Windows XP machine. (I see lots of threads moving from mac to windows but not otherway around).
How do I move the iTunes music. I want to keep the ratings, don't want to redo the ratings for 1000+ songs.
If it was previously asked and answered, please point me towards that thread.

Folks,
Sorry for the redundant post. I had problem doing this, and was able to make it work. The trick was renaming the file iTunes Library to iTunes Library.itl (with the extension).
Once I did that, it works well.
Thanks
