Spacebar Shortcut: Hand Tool Showing But Not Working

Runing the CS6 trial on a Windows 7 Laptop (x64). I was in Photoshop (64), and noticed that when I held down the spacebar to pan the open image, the hand icon would show but the tool will not work. No matter how many times I click and drag, the image stays still. If I select the MANUALLY select the hand tool it works, but the spacebar shortcut key is non-functional. This issue persists across both the 32 & 64 bit versions of Photoshop.
Ideas? Help?

Hello:    I am using Photoshop CS6 and the spacebar will not function for me either.
I am creating a circle, duplicate the layer, then i select the subtract front shape ... after this i need to be able to use the spacebar to center my subtracting circle so thatt i end up w/a nice border.
I closed firefox but that didn't work and so then I restarted my computer w/out opening FF at all and still the spacebar will not work.
Rather than the hand icon appearing the only thing that changes is that the small black box that shows the height and width adds the x & y demensions.
Does anyone know if i need to turn something on or off in order to enable the spacebar?
Thank you for your time : )

  • Spacebar Shortcut: Hand Tool Not Showing and Not Working

    When working on a document (in PS cs6) and pressing the spacebar to quickly access the hand tool it doesn't do anything.
    What I've tried so far:
    resetting the presets
    change the shortcut key (wasn't possible)
    reinstall
    googled
    Any suggestions ?
    PS: I'm aware there is a kinda similar problem for windows users which has been discussed here but there are slight differences between my problem and the one for windows users.

    Try repeatedly hitting the H key and the Space Bar a number of times, each in quick succession.
    I haven't gotten that since CS4, and at that time it was an older version of MS Entourage running in the background that was triggering the disabling the H key and the Spacebar to call up the hand.
    If it doesn't work, you haven't damaged anything and lost only a few seconds. 

  • CS3 Bugs? Hand Tool & Proportional Scale Not Working

    I am unable to press the spacebar to utilize the Hand Tool, and unable to use shift to proportionally scale objects. If I close down Illustrator and restart my computer, the problem will be resolved for the first file that is opened. Subsequent files have the same issue - hand tool and scaling does not work.
    Has anyone else experienced this, or possibly have a solution other than constant rebooting?
    Thanks,
    Justine

    OK I don't think Scott was at all condescending, since you did not mention the steps you took to try to resolve the problem. I am assuming as well that after you updated the Microsoft products and Quicken and etc. that you then trashed the Illustrator Settings folder from within your user preferences folder. Am I correct?
    If not do so.
    You can also try to log i as a new user. If that works it is more than likely a user issue if it does not work more than likely hardware such as your keyboard or possibly a system issue or application conflict.
    I would think it is a user account issue, that is a corruption or conflict in the preferences folder but not necessarily Illustrator.

  • Hand Tool & Proportional Scale Not Working

    Can somebody help me?  When I use Adobe Illustrator my hand tool (space bar) & proportional scale (Hold Shift) is not working and Indesign only hand tool don't work.
    Please help...

    You shouldn't have to uninstall them, just make sure they aren't running when you start up Illustrator or while Illustrator is running.
    I had a similer problem, but it was actually with the Wacom configuration utility that was capturing my keystrokes. -_-
    I was minimizing it instead of closing it after I was finished with my configuration, so it was still running in the background, I just couldn't see it.
    I just had to restart it, then make sure I exited properly.

  • Vmware tools installed but not working.

    I installed vmware 9.0.2 from pacman and also installed vmware-tools but when I fire up windows xp (for brittanica encyclopedia) in vmware it asks me to download & install vmware tools,
    1. When i've already installed it with pacman ( it contained tools for freebsd, linux, windows etc. ), why is vmware wants to install it again ?
    2. When vmware asks to download & install vmware-tools, it downloads but gives error that "A software conponent failed to installed..." basically it fails to install.
    3. How to get vmware-tools working ?
    How to solve this problem ?

    Make sure you are in bridged mode, not host only.

  • If you check the don't show this again box when closing multiple tabs, how do you get it to warn you when closing multiple tabs, or to save previous tabs? Checking the warn me when closing multiple tabs box under tools/tabs does not work to solve this?

    I accidentally checked the do not ask me again box when closing multiple tabs. Now I no longer get a warning when closing multiple tabs, and it saves my previous session. I have tried checking and un-checking the warn me box under tools which has not worked. If I open a second window and try to close multiple tabs it will warn me but not on the first window.

    You can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu.
    browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
    browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
    browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

    one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working .  May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Type to selection tool quick command not working in InDesign CC

    When I have the type tool selected in InDesign and hold command for the selection tool, it's not working. When I hold the command button it highlights the selection tool, but as soon as I click my mouse, it reverts back to the type tool. Also, when I change the size of my text box it does not resize the text in the box, even if I hold for a a few sec before moving the cursor.

    @Cindy – usually all 3rd party developers will provide some information for installing and uninstalling their products. First see if you can find some information on their web sites.
    Also there should be a dedicated Adobe Extension Manager app where you can look up the installed parts of InDesign. Since I do not have InDesign CC installed, I do not know exactly, but its name should be something like "Adobe Extension Manager CC".
    If you start this app it will show all parts installed with InDesign (or other apps that are installed).
    Usually at the bottom of the list are the 3rd party installed components. They do not state "Adobe Incoroprate System" as author. Never uninstall (remove) the Adobe ones!
    Here a screen grab from my German Adobe Extension Manager CS5:
    If you select one, a new option is available at the right. In my case here the "Entfernen" button ("Remove" in English).

  • OpenGL Enabled, but not working (Photoshop CS4)

    I have having a weird problem with Photoshop CS4. First of all, let me give off the specs.
    OS: Windows 7 64 bit
    Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7570 (Driver Version 8.960.11.1000, with latest Catalyst Control Center)
    I use Photoshop CS4 for freelance work, and one of the tools I like to use is the Rotate tool. When I first got my desktop and installed Photoshop, everything worked fine. However, recently I was forced to perform and factory restore on my desktop thanks to a virus.
    Today I started working on something and when I tried using the Rotate tool, it was not working (I go that error window saying it wasn't enabled). I checked the OpenGL settings to see it was enabled. Confused, I restarted Photoshop and tried again with no luck.
    This turned into a search around the internet to see just what is going on, but the only thing I could find was suggesting updating drivers for my graphics card and Adobe, which I have tried with no success. I have found out that some people were having the same trouble as me, but what makes my case odd is that it was working fine before the factory restore.
    Any help would be great.

    Because of ATI's plethora of version information I'm not really sure what Catalyst release your 8.960.11.1000 driver comes from, but I do know that Catalyst 12.4 has some problems working with later versions of Photoshop.  Perhaps Photoshop CS4 isn't too happy with it either.
    The most recent Catalyst release that was known to be good with Photoshop was 12.2 (though it shows up as 12.3 in the status display).  It can be found here:  
    http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/previous/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64.aspx
    Downgrading drivers is a bit more tricky than upgrading them - you have to fully remove the current ones first, then install the older set.

  • Updated my iphone 3gs, lost my music and apps, they are backed up on itunes, how do I move them back to my phone, tried to sync but not working, please help

    Updated my iphone 3gs, lost my music and apps, they are backed up on my computer but i cannot move them over to my phone, tried to sync but not working, please help

    well first make sure that when you click on the name of your iphone on the left hand side of itunes that you go to the app and music tab and check mark the sync apps and sync music. then try clicking apply in the bottom right hand corner. then if not try doing it again after going to prefrences in the top menu and going to devices tab and click reset sync history if that doesnt work with music try and drop and drag to the name of your iphone, lastly if that doesnt work you can try restoring from a backup from before you updated. it will keep the new software but put everything that was on your phone when you created the backup back onto your phone.

  • Android kitkat issue in loading swf file from device. URL found but not working

    Hi,
    I am facing one issue from a very long time regarding file access in Android Kitkat version 4.4.*. I have developed Adobe Air player application for android and it is working as expected below kitkat version but not on kitkat.
    I am following this methods -
    NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, onInvoke);
    public function onInvoke(event:InvokeEvent):void
                                        var newFile:String = String(event.arguments[0]);
                                        trace("Received new file from Android: "+newFile)
    Received URL form device in Android Kitkat -
    /storage/emulated/0/.iProfData/swf/playListFiles/ContentCreation/Ma_V2_522/en/Animation/27 031_1_Welcome screen.swf
    file:////storage/emulated/0/.iProfData/swf/playListFiles/ContentCreation/Ma_V2_522/en/Anim ation/27031_1_Welcome screen.swf

           - Have used also by doing escape character but still it is not working showing file not found both SWF and mp4 case. (Mp4 case NetStream.Play.FileNotFound)
    By using the above methods I can have swf or mp4 video url but when I am loading it, It is not working giving error message "File not found/ IO Error". I have read that if use escape character then it will work but I have used escape character also but it is not working.
    Humble request you to please advise how can I solve this issue.
    Best regards,
    Sunil Kumar

    Starting in KitKat, Google requires that applications have permission to access files on the system. You must specifically add either the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE or WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions in order to access files. Adding either one of those permissions should let you read/access files on the device. Prior to KitKat, you didnt have to have these permissions listed in the manifest to access files.

    I was referring to the second page in my above post.
    I disabled JavaScript as a test after loading the page with JavaScript enabled and that worked.<br />
    I also get the selects to open if I right-click instead of left-click the select.<br />
    That way the select get selected (shows a focus ring) and after that left-clicking works as well .
    This assumes that JavaScript is monitoring the left-click, but that script no longer works properly.
