Photos scroll in opposite direction of arrow keys

How about this one:
When iPhoto starts acting screwy on me (every other time I try to crop or enhance photos), it gets stuck for a while afterwards with the arrow keys corresponding to the opposite directions.  Hitting right arrow scrolls left, and vice versa. 
No other programs, including other iLife apps are affected.  Ideas?

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Problems with scrolling through premiere timeline using arrow keys and shift arrow

    This is a really weird problem in cs6.
    When I load a clip into the source monitor i can scroll throughit fine using the arrow keys, and shift arrows and my shuttle pro controller.
    When I place the same clip on to the timeline it really struggles to scroll using the arrows or the shuttle pro, its really kerky and sdlwo to scroll the timeline, which is really frstrating, becuase it can play the footage fine in the source monitor.
    The clips will playback fine, but scrolling through them just doesn't work as it should any ideas?
    Cheers
    Mike

    I changed my shuttle settings to make the shuttling more responsive:
    1 - 5 times second
    2 - 10
    3 - 15
    4 - 30
    5 - 45
    6 - 60
    7 - fast as possible
    At least I changed this a long time ago - don't know if these are the defaults or not.
    It'll only shuttle as fast as your system is responsive of course - so if you get instantaneous scrubbing by dragging the CTI in the timeline with the mouse, you should be able to get good performance with the shuttle. Of course that performance depends on the type of footage and how demanding it is on CPU to decode and whether youi have effects applied etc etc etc.
    I edit pretty much exclusively with Sony XDCAM EX 1080P 25 footage we've shot on EX3 and PMW-350 etc and I get very very fast performance on the timeline - no issues at all i7 6 core 4GHz with 24Gb ram and fairly fast RAID array for footage.

  • My apple wireless mouse scrolls in the opposite direction. When I scroll up, down, right and left it always scrolls the opposite direction. Can anyone help?

    Hi Malky H.,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your mouse is not scrolling in the direction you are expecting, check this Mouse setting in System Preferences:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mouse.
    Scroll direction: natural: Select this option to move the contents of a window in the same direction as your fingers.
    You can find this information here:
    OS X Yosemite: Use an Apple Magic Mouse
    Note that these steps apply to previous versions of Mac OS X as well.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • ***Cant Scroll through fonts using arrow keys

    when trying to preview different fonts in AI i am unable to scroll through them using the arrow keys, it just doesnt move... can anyone tell me whats wrong? im sure its pretty simple but i have no idea how to fix it...if it can be fixed... oh im using cs3 and a mac on os x leopard

    you cant scroll through fonts in photoshop too. the scrolling stops on an item of the list (maybe photoshop has problem with it), and 1. in photoshop, you can't jump over it, you have to manually place the selection on the item after the one that blocked the scrolling, 2. illustrator will jump backward and you will keep scrolling about max 5-6 fonts over and over.
    the font groups divided with lines are meaningless. it doesn't have any relation with regional keysets or any good reason.
    a lot of unusable font f....d into the middle of the page.
    i have to scroll over a dozens of unusable system fonts, what I cannot uninstall from Windows.
    no font management at all.
    and yes waiting for another 300$ upgrade too.
    (plus another upgrade for a flash, because flash drawing tools didn't see upgrades in their whole lifetimes.
    these tools are covered with bugs from top to toe. because nobody takes care of them. 300$ / 1bug.)

  • Scroll through fonts (using arrow keys) in CS3?

    I've searched a couple dozen blogs and this forum, but I cannot seem to find a way to scroll through fonts using the arrow keys in CS3.  The tips I've been able to find are for older versions of PS and don't seem to work with CS3.  Am I missing something?  Am I crazy?
    Many thanks!
    - An addled designer

    Okie Dokie.
    So, on the left, I have the type tool selected.
    In the middle is the drop down font family panel.
    On the right, you'll see that I have the text layer selected.
    Oh, and you can see in the top that my text is not in editing mode (hence the lack of the green check/red "no" symbol).
    Am I doing this correctly?
    Oh and if I trash my preferences will I lose keyboard short cuts I've set up?
    THanks again!

  • Problem with scrolling text through arrow keys after exporting file to html

    I am using Fash Professional CS6. I have created a text box that I can scroll through the scroll wheel of my mouse, as the scroll bar is hidden. But when I try to scroll the text through the arrow keys it is not allowing me to so that. As this is website and everyone is not going to have a scroll wheel, I have to make the arrow keys work to scroll the text. Could you please help me in fixing this problem? I tried to search this problem, but I haven't seen any questions so far.

    if tf is your textfield:
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,f);
    function f(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
        if(e.keyCode==38){
            tf.scrollV++;
        } else if(e.keyCode==40){
            tf.scrollV--;

  • Selecting Tabs and Arrow Key Tab Switching

    Older versions of Firefox had this feature. Pre 3.0, Firefox let you select the text around a tab by middle clicking, which allowed you to scroll through tabs using the arrow keys. After 3.0, you could do this by left clicking and then immediately right clicking. I've since gone up to Firefox 12, and I can't seem to find this functionality, even though it's useful for me. Is there a workaround or a way to do this in Firefox 12 that I don't know about? Addons that add this functionality, or a setting, would be greatly appreciated.
    EDIT: I know there are other ways of switching tabs, but arrow keys were particular convenient.

    Hello Zanarias,
    I don't think that there is a arrow key shortcut any more, but you can press '''CTRL + PageUp/PageDown''' to switch between next/previous tabs.
    Thank you for your patience and all your interest in Mozilla Firefox and please let me know if my answer was helpful by marking it as a solution. Have a nice day!

  • In facebook, When I access a picture directly, I am unable to advance the photo forwards or backwards using the mouse/cursor or the arrow keys.

    I am using Firefox 16.0.1 on a macbook pro using 10.7.5 software.
    When I access a picture directly, I am unable to advance the photo forwards or backwards using the mouse/cursor or the arrow keys. The same is true if I use an external mouse.
    If I use Safari as the browser, I don't have this issue.
    This problem just started a couple of days ago.
    All had been working fine.

  • Arrow key and space bar do not work scrolling in PDF document with film file?

    I have made a single PDF file from 26 different InDesign files, first exported to PDF:s. Text and photos. One of the documents contain a film file (.mov). As I scroll through the documents in full screen mode, once I start to play and stop the film I can no longer use the spacebar nor right arrow key to get to the next document. Only mouse works.

  • Move to previous or next magnified photo     Press Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys does not work

    Move to previous or next magnified photo
    Press Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys
    This command no longer works in iPhoto. The photo just bounces for a moment, then all the photos begin scrolling. I used to be able to just hit the key to scroll one at a time.

    What version of iPhoto and system are you running?  What mode are you in, edit, full view, full screen, ???

  • Can't scroll with arrow keys in lightroom

    I recently upgraded from Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 5 in creative cloud.  In Grid View, in Library, I always have an image selected and I can't seem to de-select it, so when I export a photo I also get a copy of the unwanted, yet selected image.
    Also, I can no longer scroll through the images in a folder using the arrow keys.  Instead I just keep toggling back and forth with the unwanted selected image.
    Seems like there should be a simple way to fix this

    Try deleting the preferences: Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5.  Note that on Mac, you'll then need to reboot your computer.l  Sprinkling this magic fairy dust fixes a surprising number of problems.

  • How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys?

    How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys an see at the same time the changes on the photo?
    It worked under Windows, now I use OS 10.8 and have to apply a preset with a click or Return button but after that the pop-up menu close so I have to open it once again to change a preset. Please help. Thank you!

    The filter panel is a shortcut for the content panel and it only effects the content of that window. So if you have a folder it will only see this as a folder and not with its content. (a Stack behaves about the same, being different in only counting the first file in the filter panel criteria but not what is in the stack itself)
    You have a view work arounds, first is use menu view / show items from subfolders (this can take some time especially if you have not used caching before on this content) and this builds visible thumbs for all content and that can be used for filtering.
    Or use the find command (Edit / find) and inhere specify the source and fill in the criteria include subfolders and this will give you the correct result.
    When you create a smart collection the find command also pops up given you the same opportunity to get the results in a collection, but since a collection is only a bunch of aliases referring to the originals you might be a bit careful with editing and deleting.

  • How do I get Firefox to go back to scrolling one line at a time with the up/down arrow keys? I noticed this changed in Firefox 10 and I actually preferred the one line at a time, can this be an option in future releases?

    The title says it all, I'm not really sure if this is the proper place to post this as it's not a "bug" per se. I noticed on the list of bugs "fixed" in Firefox 10 scrolling more than one line with the arrow keys was one of them. I know a lot of people hated the one-line thing too so I'd suggest in future releases it should be a preference we can change.

    You can right-click either Back or Forward button to open the tab history list.
