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!

Spacebar quick key for Hand tool not working.

I have a brand new imac intel i7 27" and have installed photoshop cs5, but the spacebar hand tool is not working. any ideas?
the hand tool and all other tools work, just the shortcut key of holding the spacebar doesn't work.
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?

Hi
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provocing it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
176x144
480x360
640x480
720x540 960x540
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

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...

You could try to reinstall using the full three step way:
Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

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

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!

Spacebar hand tool not working in PSCS5

I have a brand new imac intel i7 27" and have installed photoshop cs5, but the spacebar hand tool is not working. any ideas?
the hand tool and all other tools work, just the shortcut key of holding the spacebar doesn't work.
Thanks,

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!
Too bad no Pandora along with your work...

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.

[IDCS4] Space bar shortcut for hand doesn't work

I am experiencing following problem:
I have written a startup script that shows a floating panel (it is a window that uses 'palette' as a type description). I also added menu item and listeners to show/hide it (in menu window). Inside the panel there is a flex application that communicates with InDesign via ExternalInterface (no PatchPanel). Whenever I start InDesign with this script as startup script suddenly spacebar stops working as a shrotcut that temporarily changes used tool to Hand Tool. Even closing InDesign and removing startup script and restarting InDesgin doesn't help, I need to logout and login again to make spacebar work. I am experiencing this issue on MacOSX 10.4 on Intel Mac, InDesign 6.0.5 and script is written in ExtendScript.
I also found that running the startup script from scripts panel seems to solve the problem, but this is rather undesired, since the panel should be available from InDesign startup...
Has anybody of you experienced the same behaviour? Maybe there is some sort of programatic fix? It drives me mad, because I am used to spacebar as a temporary hand. Of course if there is no other fix, I'll need to find some sort of hack that performs initialization after startup, but this is rather undesired
Thanks in advance for your help and expertise

After some investigation I can tell that aforementioned bahaviour is most probably caused by opening the INDD file by using AIR API (file.openWithDefaultApplication()). When file is opened by user this behaviour is not observed, but when INDD is opened from AIR application, it results with disabling spacebar shortcut. What is even more strange, the shortcut is disabled not only in InDesign, but also in Illustrator. Photoshop works fine...
Geez, Adobe, you're giving me so much headache...

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
Nathan

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!

Keyboard shortcuts for text selection not working in Flash CC

In the new Code Editor in Flash CC running on Mac OS X, most standard Keyboard Shortcuts for traversing through the text work as expected (as the Operating System works globally) but there is one that doesn't and it's I think the most important one.
Hitting "OPTION + SHIFT + [right or left arrow keys]" to select words doesn't work. Hitting "OPTION + [right or left arrow keys]" works as expected, moving the cursor to the next word or break point, but adding shift doesn't do the selection.
I don't understand why this changed since it's a basic OS global shortcuts, and every other program behaves the way it should. Flash CS6 running on the same system behaves fine, but Flash CC doesn't. If you have ever written code, you know that any second that a programmers hand doesn't have to leave the keyboard to search for the mouse is invaluable, and this has forced me to stop using Flash CC and use Flash CS6 to edit my Action Script classes becuase it's unusable otherwise.
These shortcuts are also not listed in the keyboard shortcuts for the program, so I can't change the default behavior. Does anybody know if there's a way to set it back to the way it was before, or just disable special text shortcuts so that selecting text behaves like any other application in the operating system?
System Configuration:
Flash CC
Mac OSX 10.8.5

Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!
