Space bar hand tool not working

I have just got a Laptop with windows 8, and put my Photoshop CS5 on, so far eveything works appart from the space bar hand tool, which I use a lot.
Its not working in RAW either.
Thanks

Hello Cozmic photos!
I was also having this problem but I have found the soloution! It took me a very long time to figure it out but I finally have. I also have windows 8 and I have updated to windows 8.1 . As soon as I did that update I had to "re-install" my touchpad synaptics driver... I thought little of this. It just hit me aobut a week ago why the spacebar hand tool shortcut wasn't working. I have a Acer laptop, 64Bit, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, and running Windows 8.1. 
So, the that the spacebar is not working IS because the driver that is installed for your touchpad or trakpad is disabling some features for use of the spacebar and your finger movemnet on the trackpad at the same time. Sadly, there is no way to fix this problem YET. But, if you use a mouse or a graphics tablet you will be able to get this feature back!
I hope you understand the problem now. The only way to ix this is by notifying Synaptics about this issue and the next updated driver will have this issue fixed!
Have a good day!

  • Control 0 and space bar (hand tool) not functioning.

    When I press control 0 in the editor the image no longer returns to full screen. It becomes an image about 1/4 of the screen. Also when I press space bar to get the hand tool the hand appears but it doesn't move the image around when I try to drag it. I have reset all tools and the hand and zoom tools but it hasn't helped. Can anyone help?

    What operating system are you using?
    Are you using floating document windows or tabbed document windows?
    Have you tried resetting the pse 12 editor preferences by going into the General section of the preferences and clicking on Reset preferences on next launch?

  • Space bar temporary move not working

    I am running the latest PhotoshopCC 14.1.2 on my macbook pro. Recently the feature where the pressing and holding the space bar does not change my current tool ( clone or paint brush ) into the hand tool temporarily so I can move about my document. I have tried relaunching Photoshop, relaunching and trashing  the settings file and completely shutting down my mac and restarting.Do have any idea if I have done something to cause this behavior and what I can do to remedy it?

    I just checked out the Space Bar = Hand Tool and it works with any tool selected.  But it won't move the the image unless the image is zoomed into a magnification that is larger than the screen's viewing area.  Normal for that feature.   I have never seen that the Hand Move Tool never comes up in any situation on PC or Mac and any OS version when pressing the Space Bar.  
    I am on a MAC Mini with Mavericks 10.9.4  and btw: Photoshop CC (2014.2.1)
    Connect a USB external keyboard to the USB port and see if the Space Bar brings up a Hand and works correctly. 
    If it does, your MacBook Keyboard Space Bar is suspect or your System Preferences has a problem with Keyboard or Trackpad or both.

    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod via iTunes

  • Momentary Hand Tool Not Working

    I can select the hand tool from the tool bar or pressing H and can pan around the preview window. But I cannot get the momentary hand tool to work on this new laptop. With the Selection Tool activated, when I press the Space Bar, I get the hand icon, but pressing the left mouse key and dragging does nothing. It is driving me crazy.

    THANK YOU JAMES!
    I have been dealing with this issue for months!
    Having to go and grab the hand tool from the box was a major pain in the @$$!
    I thought is was a windows 7 issue.
    I did what you said , and the hand tool is working again! woo hoo!

  • Photoshop CS5.1 Hand Tool Not Working.

    My hand tool quit working. I looked in the forums. I've closed all browsers, restarted, rebooted, and removed the prefs.psp file. Not sure what to do now?

    Thanks but no. It's not the spacebar. The handtool works fine in Illustrator

  • Mouse drag, hand tool not working at all!

    So I've installed Photoshop CC 2014 and Illustrator CC 2014 on my computer, started a new file but only found that any action that includes mouse dragging - creating shapes, hand tool, pen tool - do not work at all, everything just do not respond, when creating a shape it will treat it as if I have clicked once (which pops out the create rectangle window for size input..), the same situation happens to Photoshop as well (perhaps all Adobe CC software). I've been trying everything that have been suggested on the forum (some from the links below): removing all other software at the background (spotify, 1password, etc). Also I've tried with using different sets of keyboard and mouse, either wired and wireless, still no luck. One situation that finally works is that all software work perfectly fine in safe mode, then I rebooted back to normal mode, try killing any background process that was not running in safe mode, still...not working at all...

  • Spacebar hand tool not working

    my spacebar hand tool is not working (the shortcut key of holding the spacebar)

    Hit he space bar repeatedly.  If that doesn't do it, quit Photoshop, then hold down the Command+Option+Shift keys as you re-launch Photoshop and keep them down until you see the dialog box that allows you to delete, trash or reset your Photoshop preferences.

  • Spacebar shortcut for hand tool not working in Photoshop CC - have tried closing all other programs

    The spacebar shortcut for hand tool is not working in Photoshop CC - as suggested in this form & others I have tried closing all other programs with no result. I have also reset photoshop to default settings & this did not make any difference either.

    There may be a software conflict. I went through this today. When I did a search in Adobe foruns actually found tha answer on the Illustrator forum:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1027227?
    What the problem for me was an app called - 1Password.  I had opened it, but not given my password to login and it was on in the background. As soon as I quit 1Password, the spacebar Hand Tool worked.
    Then I opened 1Password again, and logged in. This time the spacebar works.
    Others mentioned conflict with Spotify. And Chrome too. Couple other things. Read that thread in the link above.
    Good luck!

    Thanks,

    I found that when I quit Firefox the spacebar works again as a shortcut for the hand tool. However as soon as I sign in to my gmail account it stops working. This is so frustrating! Will there be a fix for this sometime in the near future?

    It's not specifically the browsers, methinks.
    I was running Chrome side by side with Photoshop CS5 and it worked fine until I used the Anesidora extension on my chrome. I disabled it and turned Chrome back on and my spacebar shortcut came back!

  • Space Bar + Tab Key not working

    The space bar and tab key on my Macbook stopped working last night approximately 11:30pm. Any suggestions as to how to fix this problem? I tried using disc utility but it didn't work.
    Thanks,

    Perhaps there is something in this article that might help:
    [Some of the keys on my keyboard don't work|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300547]
    If there is no soulution in the article, try the genius bar if it's under warranty or an authorized repair location can probably give you a quote if it's not. You could even try an external keyboard.
    Good luck.

  • Space Bar hot key not working after recent Indesign update

    Hi all
    I just did the most recent update (3-31-14) and now the space bar hot key isn't working, nor is the hot key for duplication (option). So, uh, anyone else notice this, and if so, Adobe, you gonna fix this in the update? These two functions missing are messing with my work flow.
    Thanks

    Try restoring your InDesign preferences. Here's how:
    Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences
    You're assuming that it's an InDesign bug that you lost your shortcuts. That is almost always a local computer glitch. None of the rest of us have that problem, we would be flooded with reports if that is true.

  • How do i get a fullstop when texting. I try to double click the space bar but its not working.

    The fullstop was working when i first got the phone but now its not. I am new to the i phone and not sure what i am doing. Its the i phone 4s.
    Also i dont know how to get the menu up while i am on the phone talking. For example if the company i am ringing requires me to press 1 for connection i cant get to the screen with the numbers. Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks for any help......

    Check Settings>General>Keyboard and make sure that "." Shortcut is set to On.
    When you are on a call, you should see a panel of six icons. The dial pad is the middle one on the top.
