Shift + Command + 3 not working anymore

Hi there!
Strangely as of yesterday I can't get the screenshot shortcut ( Shift + Command + 3 ) working anymore (it did work quite well for the last years).
Does anyone have an idea how that could be? Or how I could troubleshoot this?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Delete this file: com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
See if that helps...

Shift+command+b not working for bold

I just updated to cs6 and my "bold" key command is not working. (shift+command+b on mac) I am using a font that has BOLD. I can select bold from the character palette and it works fine but the key command will not work. I checked my key command list and is there by default. It should work. It worked fine on cs5 for me. I even tried holding the fn key but no dice. Any ideas? I have to bold many many items so I can not possibly use the character palette....thanks.

"Nope" the first word of my response, was to your question. It means No. Meaning "No I did not copy a custom set". I am using default set.
I wonder if some other app has taken that kb shortcut. Nothing happens when I press it though....and I wouldnt know how to find out.
edit - problem solved. Even though the font says that it has a bold face I guess that it does not. Bold still works fine for other fonts. Sorry for your time.

Shift Command 3 Not Working, Any Suggestions?

Hello, My Shift, Command, 3 does not take a screen shots any more. I tried to delete (com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist) and reboot but it did not work. Im using OS10.8.5 on a Mid 2007 iMac. Also I bought this from my friend and I changed the Name of the iMac & Disk, But the "HOME" Still has my fiends name why is this? Can anyone help me here? Thanks!

The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.

Select end (Shift+End) in Dreamweaver (MAC) not working anymore

Hi all,
all of a sudden it seems that my DreamWeaver shortcut Shift+End is not working anymore to select text till the end of the line. Shift+Home is still working. I'm pretty sure I've been using it till the day before yesterday. I noticed the shortcut not working on my macbook yesterday, but since that was a clean install I thought that might have been the issue. But today I noticed the same on my working station which has been installed for a couple of days now.
Is anyone else facing this problem? I tried re-adding the shortcut, but that doesn't work at all..
Joshua

Seemed to have fixed itself.. all of a sudden it is working again..

Shift-Command-R does not work anymore

Hello all,
I've noticed that the shortcut shift-command-r does not work anymore on my macbook pro. I used it for the calendar to refresh all calendars, and its also handy to open the reader in safari 5.
When I open the keyboard viewer from the language and text menu I can see it when I press shift, then command but when I press "R" nothing changes, only shift+command stay highlighted. Other letters do work, so its a bit strange.
Anyone know a solution for this?
Thank you in advance

Nope thats not the problem, the listening key is Esc. It is as if the keyboard does not register it when the R is pressed in combination with the shift and the command together. As I said, the keyboard viewer shows every keystroke except the shift-command-r combi.

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

2: Repair the permissions, not working.
3: Unchecked the box for shortcut and checkd it again in System preferences > Keybord > Shortcuts, not working.

Standard shortcut for "flow" does not work anymore

Hi there :-)
The standard shortcut for setting the flow of a brush or stamp does not work anymore. When using shift + 0-9 nothing happens. It works correctly for the opacity when I use 0-9.
When I turn on the airbrush-mode it's not switching the commands entirely... Flow is still not settable with 0-9 but opacity cannot be set either by shift + 0-9.
I can access the opacity by hitting "enter" and then use the tab to switch to the flow but that's not what I wanna do.
Can anyone help my to find out what happened to These commands? The Shift-keys work fine btw... I'm using them for other commands (in and outside of PS) .
If anyone knows how to change these standard hotkeys let me know as well.
Thnx, Michelle

Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?

My Polygonal Lasso Tool does not work anymore

I have Adobe CS4 for macs. Just today, everytime I enclose an area with my polygonal lasso tool, it stopped closing the area and instead gives me the message "No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selected edges will not be visible." I must have accidentally pressed something by mistake that makes the lasso tool not work anymore but I don't knoow what. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Or do I need to reset photoshop? Any ways to reset it? I tried holding option,command shift but it still did not reset my photoshop to its original settings.I also rebooted my computer several times with no success. Thank you for any help you guys can give.

When you try to reset the preferences you need to keep holding down the Shift+Cmd+Option keys even after starting photoshop until you get a dialog similar to below:
(resetting the cs4 preferences should have set the feather to 0 px)

Hi Hardy Tasso,
Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
Please try:
Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.

How do I hide selection in Photoshop CC , while the ⌘+H is not working anymore?

Hi!
I´m using now the finnish version of Photoshop CC. However, the good old ⌘+H shortcut for hiding the selection seems not to work anymore in Photoshop CC.
And I cannot find the new shortcut for the command - neither I do not find the way to modify the shortcut, because the needed command is not listed anymore in the available commands in Edit shortcut menu. Makes no sense to me?

Found it by myself, from not-that-obvious menu:
That items related to the display of elements are situated under "View" should hardly be surprising.

Some commands are not working nor in illustrator nor photoshop, any advice better than Adobe?

Illustrator is not fuctioning at 100%, some commands do not work ( eg - command open, nor place etc ) and same with photoshop....
Any advice

pcmyhre,
You may try the list, possibly starting with item 7) in 5), which is a list of the usual suspects, which may disturb and confuse Illy so she fails to do even simple things.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

Plus sign not working anymore for distribution group

Without our Outlook client it was possible to make a New E-mail, enter a part of the distribution group, pressing control-k to force lookup the group and it was resolved. With the plus sign you can expand the requested ditribution group. Now this is not
working anymore. Does anyone know that there is maybe an option why this do not work anymore?
Within the image you can see that this worked. This is not working anymore.

Hi,
What does "Now this is not working anymore" mean? Does it mean you didn't get the Expand List warning or it didn't expand the distribution group when clicking plus sign?
Does this issue happen to all users and all distribution groups?
If you mean you didn't the Expand List warning, we can try this to get it back:
Open your Registry Editor and browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\xx.0\Outlook\Options\General (where xx is the version of your Office.)
Look for and open the PONT_STRING value, you'll see a list of numbers in the Value box. Remove number
13 from the list and test again.
If you mean that clicking the plus sign didn't expand the group, we may try to open Outlook in safe mode and test again. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook /safe and press Enter.
If I've misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.
