Problem with Hand move tool in CS2 ...

Hi,
I hope one of you here knows what to do about this as it's less conducive to my normal work-flow...
I have a Photoshop CS2 which I used to use on Windows XP and here it worked as supposed to. When I hit the spacebar the "hand move tool" appeared and I could move the images I was working with by left clicking my mouse and then move the image.
Now I've re-installed Photoshop on a new computer with Windows 7 (SP1) and now the "hand move tool" doesn't work anymore. The cursor shifts from the current cursor symbol to a hand but I can't move anything with it.
Given that it's worked before on Win XP I guess it's a compatibility issue of some kind - one of you knows what can be done?
Thanks for reading & maybe replying ;-)
Jesper

Can anyone verify that this is or is not a problem for them?

  • The tools on Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 seemed to have frozen. The crop symbol is 3 of the symbols nest to each other. The hand move tool is not one hand but 3 next to each other. Other tools won't work at all. Really nice!

    Ya, okay ! I use a number of PSE programs, one of which is PSE 9. The tools for some reason seem to have frozen. When I use the move tool I don't get just one hand but 3 hand symbols all next to each other. Same thing with the crop tool, I don't get one symbol but 3 all next to each other. There are a couple of tools that just don't work at all.  It's like the PSE 9 got hit with some virus or sorts. Oh well, live and learn.  Trying to get through to tech service is next to impossible.

    Have you seen this other thread you started about this problem?
    Photoshop Elements 9 is messed up.
    Did you use Barbara's fix?
    It would be less confusing if you only posted this question once, not three times:
    HOW DO I RESET ALL THE TOOLS IN PSE 9 ? THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP AND DOES NOT WORK WITH THE TOOLS. I TOUCH THE HAND AND I GET 3 HANDS, I TRY TO USE THE CROP AND I GET 3 SMALL CIRCLES.  THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP. DO I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER PSE 9 ?

  • Tools keep turning into the Hand Move tool

    all of a sudden I am having a problem with my tools turning into the hand move tool, no matter which tool I use.
    I moved the Wacom pen 5 feet away (this moving away seemed to fix it before but not now).
    Any suggestions?
    Bob

    move the wacom pen AND mouse away, unless you're using the mouse.
    smack the space bar a couple times. sometimes they stick.

  • Problems with goods movements cancelling network confirmations

    Hello experts,
    I'm having some problems with goods movement when cancelling network confirmations.
    I assign a component for a operation in the project builder (CJ20N). Then when I execute a confirmation for that operation in CN25 everything works correctly, I can assign the time for the confirmation and SAP automatically carries the component assigned to the operation. Once I have done the confirmation the goods movements and the hours have a correct account assignment.
    The problem is that if I cancel this confirmation, the hours are correctly cancelled but the component is still there. If I try to cancel the goods movement with MIGO it is no possible because the system says that must be cancelled with the corresponding transaction (CN29) but, as I have said, the system does not cancel it.
    On the other hand, If the goods movement goes to COGI transaction and then I post-process the error, If later I cancel the confirmation, everything works correctly.
    Does anybody know why this could happen?
    Thanks and regards
    Laura

    Hi
    I think this question was raised earlier also. The best way is to allot a fixed time slot for your users so as to avoid clash. I suppose i explained that the master data of any material is stored at one place only and if you schedule a background job for this then all your good movement transaction will be in que and performed in orderly manner.
    If automatic posting is not possible then use the time slot method.

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Has anyone had any trouble with the Move tool in Photoshop (v14.2.1)? I'm getting a dimmed bounding box akin to the transform bounding box, but this one won't let me apply or escape.

    Having trouble suddenly with the Move tool creating a bounding box that wont let me release it by any means. It remains there no matter what, and now I'm having trouble using the Paste Into command.

    Are you trying to move a background layer by any chance or a layer that is partially locked?? If you have show bounding checked in the option bar you should see the bounding box.

  • Lightroom 5, Mac. Problem with the Radial Tool. Marquee Lines disappear.

    Lightroom 5 Mac. Problem with the Radial Tool. I use this tool a lot. I must have hit a hot key by accident because between photos the marquee lines have disappeared and i don't know how to get them back. Without the marquee lines there I cannot rotate or expand the radial tool.

    I have attempted to uninstall, empty trash and a fresh download from Adobe. The problem is still there...

  • Problem with CS5 patch tool

    Hi, I have this annoying problem with the patch tool that whenever I use it, i.e., drag the selected area to a new location it pastes the selected area as if it were smudged, such as feathered, and I practically can't use it. I have checked the selection and it is not feathered, but still, the selection being pasted is smudged. Any settings that I am not aware of?
    Thanks.

    The Patch (content aware) tool is affected by the area around your selection. To get around the problem, make a selection of the beak and he surround without the bird and put it on a separate layer as shown here. Then select the beak and apply the Patch command. Without the dark bird for reference, you will get the result you want. 

  • Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie?

    Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie, requiring a force quit, which causes your rental to disappear? This has happened multiple times to me recently. Last time Apple didn't refund my money after reporting the problem. I have been using iTunes for many years but am about to give up.

    Correction: I was refunded for the previous movie freeze.

  • Cursor (Pointer) Showing as Hand (Move Tool) Instead of Pointer

    How do you change the characteristic of the cursor from Hand (Move Tool) back to just being a pointer?  This condition only exists in the Develope Module when my cursor is placed over the top of the photo.  When I move it off the photo it returns to a pointer.  In the Library Module it is always a pointer like I like it to be.

    My first guess would be that you are in Fill View or some other View that makes your image slightly larger than the screen - hence it gives you a hand so that you can expose the hidden parts of your image.
    Change your view in the Navigator Panel to Fit and see if your pointer returns.

  • Problem with imported movies from Sony Cyber Shot

    Hello all, I have an unusal problem.
    My mate has got a brand new sony cybershot camera which does movies.
    These movies import into iPhoto no problem with sound.

    What should be the next step?
    Its iMovie HD and 10.4.4

  • Indesign CC + Intuos 5: Pen shortcut with hand grabber tool no longer working

    Hi guys,
    I have recently upgraded from CS6 to CC and there is a problem with my Intuos 5 pen shortcuts.
    In my Intuos 5 preferences, I have assigned the 'pan / scroll' function to the button on the side of the Wacom pen. This is for all applications (so I hold the button down and can scroll up / down on any application). With Indesign CS6, this automatically translated into the hand grabber tool i.e. the button on the Wacom pen had the same function as the spacebar on the keyboard. I hold it down to activate the hand grabber tool, and release to let go of the hand grabber. Perfect, and very useful.
    With Indesign CC however, this no longer works. Instead of activating the hand grabber tool, my Wacom pen button now performs a very slow and glitchy scroll (similar to using a mouse wheel). My cursor remains as the little black arrow (rather than turning into a hand) and the whole program slows down - sometimes it takes a good minute or so to finish scrolling down just a page or two. It's obviously not ideal, and seeing as this is probably my most used shortcut it is hindering my work flow quite considerably. Add to that the fact that the spacebar shortcut is undefinable in the keyboard shortcuts menu - so I cannot manually assign the spacebar shortcut to the Wacom pen button - I'm not sure what to do.
    Is this a bug in CC? Is there a fix? Was it ever even intentional for CS6 to automatically replace wacom's 'pan / scroll' shortcut into the hand grabber tool? Anyone else experiencing similar problems?
    Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!

    Hi Cristoph,
    You have mentioned two issues above.
    The first is of the selection issue. I acknowledge that this issue is present in InDesign CC and is one that the InDesign team is investigating. It is already mentioned above that this issue is one that the ID team has been able to reproduce.
    The other issue is
    Another example of a CC-Bug: whenever you open InDesign, the menu-palettes (e.g. that for color-selection, text, paragraph...) are closed. So why the hell is that? If I want to change something I have to reopen the referring palette. There is no reason for this delay of the working process.
    This is the issue for which i was trying to gain more information as to why you are facing this issue. I dont think this one line of information is enough to figure out why you are facing the problem. I tried this on my machine with the given information and it seems to work, upon restart of InDesign the palettes that were earlier open remain opened.
    This is NOT a known issue and is one that i would like to gain more info about and it is with respect to this issue that i mentioned that you try cleaning the prefs and caches.
    If you still happen to be facing the issue(after cleaning the prefs\cache) i would suggest that you report the issue via the link
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    Or you can mail the issue at [email protected]
    Please note that simply writing one line in the information will not be of much help, until the ID team is able to reproduce the issue there is no point that they will be able to fix it.
    Thanks

  • Problems with my registration of Photoshop CS2

    I have owned different versions of Photoshop over the years, and the latest version I have is CS2.
    I have it installed on two computers, one running Windows XP and the other running Windows Vista.
    Apparently,  Adobe has me under two IDs, both  using the same email address,  but with different physical addresses, my old one and my new one.   All my registration information is apparently stored under the one with the old address, but I can only get access to the one with the new address when I go to the Adobe website.   That one doesn't see my registrations.
    For the past several years I've worked primarily under Linux, using gimp, but I just got a new printer, which is not supported under Linux, so I have to use Windows and Photoshop to print.
    Every time I start Photoshop CS2 on the second computer, it tells me I need to register.  If I do---needlessly I presume---it accepts the registration, but then the next time I start  the program, it does the same thing over again.
    I can live with this, but if there is some simple way to fix it, I would like to do so.  I've spent a lot of time talking to Adobe on the phone or using chat online, but haven't got any help on this matter.
    Also, I hope to make some changes to my system in the near future.    First, I will probably upgrade both computers to Windows 7.  Second, I may replace one of the computers with a new computer.  Finally I may  upgrade to Photoshop CS5.
    Can anyone give me any advice about how to go about these things so as to end up with two legitamate versions of Photoshop on two computers, and so as to avoid problems..    I am worried that I may have to spend hours on the phone trying to get it done.

    MTSTUNER's advice is right on in this case.  I've seen problems with the older versions of Photoshop not being able to write to their installation areas because of UAC.
    If Run As Administrator doesn't work, one additional thing you can try is to turn the UAC level down to the lowest setting, run Photoshop once, then return UAC to its default (or leave it off, your choice).
