Objects in Illustrator won't move with cursor. Help!?

It's been about a year since i've used Illustrator (CS5), and I'm not sure why I cannot get the objects to move. When I try, it just makes the error noise. Please help. Thx.

Actually - it just resolved. It seems like my need to update my ios was messing with the InDesign update I had working. Whew!

Try deleting/renaming 'psa.prf' and 'status.dat' file from '~/library/Application Support/Adobe/Elements Organizer/11.0/Organizer'.

Bottom of trackpad won't move the cursor

I restarted my macbook pro (purchased in Jan, 2011 brand new) after the cursor started jumping around uncontrollably. After startup the bottom of the trackpad won't move the cursor anymore but still functions as a button...any idea how i can restore movement?

Are you talking about maybe 1/8" to 1/4" on the very edge closest to you? I think that is normal.

Gradient overlay won't move with item

I've created a button with a gradient overlay, but when I click and drag the button, the gradient overlay stays put, it won't move with the button. Is there an option I'm overlooking to anchor the gradient with the item I've created? I've never seen this before. I'm on Photoshop CC 14.0 on a Mac.

How are you creating the gradient overlay: via layer style, shape fill properties, or adjustment layer? All except the adjustment layer will move with the button. For the adjustment layer, you need to select both layers and link them together with the chain icon in the layer pallet.

Screen moves with cursor

My daughter has a g4 and just the other day for no apparent reason, the desktop seems to be about 10-15% too big for the screen. when you move the cursor, the screen/display moves around as the cursor moves. As you aproach the edge of the screen with the cursor, the desktop picture actually moves in the opposite direction to give access all the way to the edge. it's kind of strange.... I have tried to adjust any settings that I could find. It is set at the highest resolution. Lower res just makes things bigger and fatter.....
help!

Macbook 10.6.8 the mouse keeps jumping around and also gets stuck and won't move at all, HELP

I have a macbook 10.6.8 and the mouse is malfunctioning. It is jumping around without me touching the trackpad, and then at times I can't move the mouse at all. Has this happenned to anyone and what do I do?

An irratic trackpad can be a symptom resulting from a swollen battery as these can expand then press upward toward the trackpad area and affect its function. If it is tight and ill-fitting, that may be the problem. These can open and leak stuff, too; so to see if an Apple Store genius or other expert can help determine that is the issue, and to get a replacement if it is, would be important.
Unplug AC before removing, be sure MacBook is shut down. If bad, leave it out.
Check the computer w/o battery to see if the trackpad issue changes.
Have you tried the computer with a USB mouse (if the battery looks OK when removed & inspected to see if the sides are flat when set against a table top) to see if the same kinds of odd behavior continue, even if you go into the Trackpad preference panel and have the input ignored in the settings?
I use a wired USB mouse with my MacBook but do not have the trackpad settings on ignore input. Mine does not have the original battery, and I do remove these on occasion and look in the compartment to check it.
And then there's this. Worth mentioning, but doesn't seem likely...

Hopefully something simple is behind this.
Good luck & happy computing!

Cannot use arrow keys to move an object in illustrator

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks!

Is the object locked? If it's locked, then you can't even select it.
If you can select it and it still won't move with arrows (I'm assuming it moves when you drag it), then perhaps the arrow "nudge" setting is so small it's not visible. Go to Edit > Preferences and look at "General" (the first page of settings. Make sure Keyboard Increment is set to something big enough to be useful.
If all else fails, you might try exiting Illustrator and rebooting.

[Cp] Select object from the timeline and move it on slide with cursor keys ?

Hello,
I don't know if there's a shortcut for this :
Sometimes, it's easier to select an object from the timeline but if you try to use cursor keys to move it, you're in fact moving IN the timeline.
Is there a way to switch to Slide edition ?
Thanks.
PJ

You can not only use the cursor keys, but also in combination with other keys. And indeed, you have to move the cursor over the stage:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/shortcut-keys-part-1-moving-and-resizing-obje about shortcut keys for the stage

There is a list with shortcut keys in the Help, but not complete.

Cannot move selected objects in Illustrator

I'm using Illustrator CS5.5.
I cannot move anything I select. I try to drag it and it makes the "bump" noise.
-I made sure that my preferences are not set to "object selection by path only".
-I've restarted my computer several times
-I tried to open a previous Illustrator file and I have the same problem
-I even uninstalled and reinstalled my entire Abode Suite beacuse I've been having several issues
I'm not sure if this is related but I also can't create a new document unless I use picas and CMYK coloring. It refuses to adjust to anything other than the default settings. Also, I can't increase the stroke of an object unless I type in the number, meaning I can't use the arrows for adjustment.
So basically I am having a ton of problems and even reinstalling the program didn't fix them.
Help please.

Hi everyone.
I've also had the same problem recently. To sum it up:
- Sometimes (randomly) Illy won't move objects. I click and drag them, it results on a bumpy sound and the object comes back to its initial place. Note that the object is visually being moved during the drag
- Trying it again, with the same object, same conditions, may results in more failures, but at some point it works (sometimes 2 tries, sometimes 20)
- It doesn't seem to be affected by the direction, distance, "drag time" of the Move action.
- It is also not affected by the type of object being moved (simple or complicated shape, pixel image, etc)
- Keyboard input works flawlessly
- Only the move action via Selection or Direct Selection tool is affected.
What i've tried:
- Looking at obvious errors (layer locked, wrong tool selected, etc)
- Checking the outlines using Ctrl-Y or any other shape that would be in the way
- Unchecking "Object selection by path only" (was already, tried both)
- Opening other files, older or newer.
- Restarting Illustrator
- Restarting Computer
- Resetting my preferences
- Putting all kind of drivers up to date (Graphics, Motherboard, mouse, etc)
- Completely uninstalling/reinstalling Adobe CC 2014 Creative Suite, with a Cleaner Tool in between
- Trying with an older Illustrator version (CC) which does not seems to be affected (then again, the bug is pretty random, and danielv82539074 is having it with CS6)
Now my guess would be some kind of issue with mouse recognition since keyboard works. Restarting Illy sometimes give me a 10-15 minutes relapse before the bug occurs again.
Gear:
- Illustrator 18.1.1 64 bits
- Intel Core I6-2600K 3.4 GHz
- Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 Ti (drivers up to date)
- Mouse Steelseries XAI
- Windows 8
Anyway, this is really really annoying, i hate everyone, my life is in limbo, why is this happening to meee?!
Just kidding, i still love you Illy, just, you know, let me work !
Thanks everyone <3

Web pages won't load unless I move my cursor

Is there anyone out there that can really help me? This problem as evident by others who have posted the same concerns is not malware but with the newer versions of Firefox. At one time I uninstalled my Firefox and reinstalled an older version and didn't have the problem anymore. I believe my computer automatically updated to a newer version and this the reason for the problem. I don't want to do that again as I lost all my bookmarks etc. Is it time for me to start using a different browser? I hope not, as I have always been very happy with Firefox.
I updated to the newest version of firefox and when firefox opens in won't open web pages unless I constantly move my cursor. I running XP. I tried to restore my computer back a few days so as to utilize the older version of firefox, but I ran into another error message. I know this has been a problem for many and I know it has nothing to do with XP as it was running fine before. Please help.

Cursor in arrange window won't move when track is playing

Hi,
Can anyone help with this problem I'm having with Logic? I've been away from making tracks for a few weeks and now that I'm trying to use logic again I'm finding that cursor is not moving when I play a track, both in a new session and in old sessions. I am able to move the cursor by double clicking on the bottom part of the ruler but it doesn't scroll as it should during play. Is this a bug and do I need to reinstall logic or did I inadvertently set something to the wrong setting?
thanks a lot for your help,
Mike
p.s. I am running logic 7.1 on an IMac G5

The function you probably want is called Catch. Check out:
Logic Pro > Preferences > Global
There's a tab there (called Catch) that allows you to turn Catch off and on - check out the manual for detailed comments on the three options available.
Also, on the Arrange Window there's a button in the top left corner - looks like a person walking. If that's grey, the Catch function is turned off. If blue, the Catch function will operate.

PS CS5 Extended on Windows
When trying to use the clone stamp and/or healing brush as soon as I move the cursor from the toolbar over to the image I get an exact copy of the existing layer that moves around the window with the movement of the clone stamp/healing brush. This just started tonight. What's causing this weird behaviour?

What are the settings in Window > Clone Source?
