Simple keyboard commands not working in CS6..?

Am no longer able to navigate around a large document by pressing the space bar (changing the cursor temporarily to the hand tool) or zoom in or out by using command-space bar or option-command-space bar. In both Illustrator and Photoshop.
I'm hoping there's a very simple solution that I just can't find as it's really messing with my workflow. Please help.

Hi Nicholas Petropoulos,
I am sorry but even i am running out of options now.
Try these.
Make sure you do not have any browser open when you use Illustrator.
If you are using a magic mouse or Wireless Keyboard.
Try disconnecting them and check the performance.
Also when the issue happens, do you have to force close the application to make it work again?
The mouse and other options do not work on Illustrator. Are you able to use the mouse any where else on the machine when the issue happens ?

InDesign CC keyboard commands not working

I just discvered some crucial keyboard shortcuts not working today at my workstation:
1) Option + click and drag to create a copy (Plus, holding shift key at the same time to keep alignment in place.)
2) Command + Shift to resize a box and its contents.
Neither work. What is the cause of this and is there a solution to these issues?

Keyboard commands not working with pen tablet attached to MacBook Pro

Please advise.
Thanks.

Boot-up keyboard commands not working

Hello.
For some reason, when my iMac is booting up, the keyboard commands to affect boot-up (for example, holding Option to pick which drive to boot into) do not work. It wasn't too much of an issue before, since I could access my Boot Camp partition through the Startup Disk preferences pane. But that partition suddenly stopped showing up there, and with holding Option not working, my Boot Camp drive is essentially inaccessible to me. Does anyone know why these keyboard boot-up commands are not working, or any way to fix this? I'd greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please help!
I picked up a Mac Pro Dual Intel Quad-Core from a partners office. The system has four 750gb drives. It had Tiger on it.
Here are the steps I tried:
1. I got leopard and installed it. I installed on drive 1.
2. Software updates. Installed Flash runtime and Silverlight runtime.
3. Opened boot camp and split the boot drive equally for windows and mac os.
4. I then tried installing Vista Business and my monitor freaked out. I started having weird colors displaying after the boot up to the Windows Vista Disk. The Disk is from my MSDN subscription and I've installed with it before. The install failed after Windows install restarted the machine.
5. Reformatted all the drives and reinstalled Leopard with the OSX boot DVD. I skipped installing updates and just went straight to boot camp after a fresh Leopard install. Same problem on windows install.
6. I thought the drive might be messed up, so I wiped all the drives again and tried installing OSX on drive 4. BIG MISTAKE :-/
OSX worked but once I started installing windows Vista it crapped out again.
Now I can't boot to anything.
I tried manually putting each drive into bay 1 to boot. No dice.
None of the boot shortcut commands seem to work: Holding option does nothing at start up. Can't boot into single user mode. Holding c does nothing at start up. It's possible my keyboard is not working correctly because I have had problems with my USB keyboard in the past.
Any suggestions?? I'm going nuts here and I need this machine set up ASAP for a huge project.
Thanks in advance.

File and keyboard commands not working in Illustrator CC.

I'm having massive problems with Illustrator CC. The open and paste commands work once or twice and then nothing. Unless I quick the program, they will not work. I have tried everything. I took the drastic step today and erased the hard disk and loaded EVERYTHING again. And I mean everything. I even tested Illustrator without activating the fonts to see if it was a font conflict. Nothing. I'm done. I have tried everything. Has anyone else had this problem? I need help…

Start up keyboard commands not working

My IMAC is running slow. I've verified the hard drive and repaired the disc via disc utilities several x w/ improvement. I am trying to reset the pram but keyboard commands do not function at start up. I cannot start in "safe" mode either. Any suggestions?

Hello again:
is there a preference to be deleted or something???
Not, to my knowledge, with a wired KB.
my concern is that no keyboard commands work during start up.
If they all work at other times, that is very strange. I know you have to be quick (to reset PRAM, for instance). I never open in safe mode, so I have no insight there.

The old "sleep using keyboard commands" not working issue is back again

All the way through Leopard the keyboard shortcut for "sleep" wasn't working.
Then in SL it started working again.
Now in 10.6.7 it isn't again.
All constructive suggestions welcome.

I have exactly the same trouble that Tom has (or had?)
I get this in Console, endlessly repeated. I have the slim aluminium keyboard plugged into USB and the mouse is plugged into the USB on the keyboard. It does not make any difference if anything else is connected to the Mac or disconnected - hard drive, printer etc.

Keyboard Commands Not Working

Hello,
I installed the Arch core without trouble a few days. Kinda new to linux so I need some help. I want to change the keyboard layout, console font, and few other minor things but none of the suggestions in the forum help.
I try setxkbmap and loadkeys and bash returns unknown command. I try km and the same happens. I installed every package in the core cd. Am I missing a required package.
Thanks,
Mike

Ok. Got this working by editing /etc/rc.conf.

Iphoto batch edit keyboard command not working

Using Lion 10.7 Iphoto 11 I find that the shift+cmd+B keyboard shortcut ( Batch Edit ) is no longer working on multiple or single photos.
Help from anyone pls....
Thx,

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Keyboard commands not working with Headstart

Hello,
I'm using Headstart 2.1.2 with Template package 5.0.3.1. Forms 6.0.5.29 and Designer 6.0.3.
When making a form in Forms without Designer and Headstart the forms responds normally to Alt + spacebar + n to minimze the MDI window. A Headstart generated forms responds to this command with FRM-41008: undefined function key. Does anyone know a way to fix this?
Thanks, Joost

You will have to add a key definition for this to the qmsrf50.res resource file. Your best bet is to look in the
forms default resource file and copy that definition.
Regards,
LauriThanks for your reply, Lauri. Unfortunately I'm still not clear about this, I would appreciate it if you could explain a little further.
What does this qmsrf50.res file do? The Headstart manual instructs me to replace the original Forms fmrusw.res file with the resource file supplied with Headstart. If I do so my application fails to start.
As I wrote before my application responds to Alt + spacebar + n with 'Undefined function key'. The Headstart foundation application forms however responds correctly. They use the same runtime executable. Could it be that the resource file is used at compile time or is it only read at runtime?

Captivate 5 for Mac - keyboard commands not working

I just fired up Captivate 5 for Mac for the first time and am trying to create a recording, but the command+enter key does not stop the recording and instead captures a screenshot. In fact, every command combination I try does that and the only way to stop the recording is to click on the icon in the status bar at the top. What am I doing wrong? I have searched through the forum and help and don't see anyone else having this problem.

If you're talking about keystroke shortcuts in published browser output, the issue is not Adobe's fault but the fact that browsers get first pick of the keystrokes and assign them to their own browser functions.
There is no way to control what the browser will or will not let through from within the Captivate content. Each end user's browser can have different settings.
My advice is to stop stressing about using keystrokes. There are some things that you can achieve when building an application that cannot be replicated exactly when building a browser-based simulation of that same application.

Keyboard functions not working

Why don't some of the keyboard commands not work anymore since upgrading? For instance, pressing and holding the space bar does not move the page around with the hand tool. Holding the shift button doesn't keep things on a straight path when moving them anymore. Some keyboard commands not working in Photoshop either. Can someone help?

So both the OS and InDesign are clean installs on this computer, not in-place upgrades or migrations, right?
The newer Mac OSX versions use some of the same shortcuts as ID by default, I believe, and that can be turned off in the system prefs, but I also think I remember seeing some reports that the hand tool shorcut doesn't work when some browsers (Safari, Firefox?) are open, or possibly Mac Mail.

The volume keys on my Logitech K760 wireless keyboard do not work with my 2.3 GHz, Intel Core i5 Mac mini which runs Mac OS X 10.7.4. Anyone know how to correct this without having to re-code firmware?

My first post to the Apple Support Community so it looks like all I wanted to know is covered in the title. The research I have done led me to solutions that I am not comfortable trying for fear of irreparably damaging my keyboard and/or Mac mini. Does anyone have a simpler solution? Please? Hellooooo?
Just in case the title is too long to show, I have re-pasted here:

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to work the above applications. I thought that i had managed to assign the appropriate function keys in Spark to their volume counterparts, but it had no effect. Below is a screen shot. Do you see anything amiss?
