Stop Photoshop Spacebar Beeping

I have frequently encountered this(error?) and it is extremely frustrating especially since I use headphones at work. When working in Photoshop and using the spacebar to pan I will often and for seemingly no reason get a beep error sound when I press the space bar. In my travels I have been unable to notice and cause or consistency in the occurrence of the issue. Allow me to step you through the most recent instance of the issue. I had an image open(single layer) that I wanted to crop using the crop tool. I was zoomed in enough that the image filled the screen and I was able to use the spacebar to pan(I know that if you are zoomed out enough this feature is disabled). I used the space bar to pan and move the image two times back to back(one move after another) successfuly without a beep. However on the third pan when I hit the spacebar it beeped at me. This is just one of many scenarios in which this happens. Thanks in advance to anyone who can fix this or shed any light on the situation.

Actually that is normal. On my system it is more of a ding sound. But that may depend on what sounds are set for the OS.
What happens is from time to time, the alt key gets hit and that activates the menu shortcuts and is waiting for a response. If you hit the F key the file menu would drop down for example.
When the alt key get hit and you hold down on the space bar to pan it dings to tell you that was an error and could not find the keyboard short cut.
Had you hit the alt key the second time to deactivate the menu shortcuts, the ding would no longer happen since it is not waiting for a keystroke from the keyboard.

  • How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing.

    How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing. I went through the process of clicking through the how to's and the troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that I need to install the adobe drive 5 but I can not complete the installation. I may be incorrect on this so I need immediate assistance as I have poster and ad deadlines. I also tried disabling the gatekeeper and solution 3 on the troubleshooting of slow saving on photoshop.
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Are you attempting to save the file to a network location instead of your local hard drive? If so, this is probably why you are encountering an issue and why Adobe Drive would be the solution. As we've documented, it is a bad idea to open from or save directly to a network source: Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later. Drive can help you get around this by setting up an Adobe supported virtual connection to the network. Thus, if installing Adobe Drive is the solution you need and your need help with installing Drive, please post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
    If you are not saving to a network location, then Adobe Drive is not going to be the answer. Then we'll need to know more about the file you are saving.

  • How do I stop Photoshop Elements 12 from adding a caption to my image?

    How do I stop Photoshop Elements 12 Editor from adding a caption to my image?  It is automatically adding the name of my camera (as a caption) to the file any time I make a change in the Editor.  Then I have to manually delete them.

    That's not Elements which writes the Camera model in the exif, that's your camera. It's a common complaint with Olympus.
    Solution (edited)
    Use the 'Find' menu to select the files starting with the offending caption (Olympus, for instance). Highlight all selected files and right click; select the option to add a caption; leave the caption blank and click enter; you'll be prompted if you want to delete the captions : you do.

  • How do I stop Photoshop elements 13 from crashing?

    I just installed elements 13 and it upgraded my catalog just fine.  Once I was in I started tagging pictures and then I paused.  It crashed.
    Now whenever I pause for about 30 seconds it crashes.
    I have looked at many articles and have not found anything that worked.  Can someone help me?

    To answer your question directly [ How do I stop Photoshop elements 13 from crashing? ] , the only way I can think of is to reset your preferences file.  The method in PSE13 must be the same as in 10 and 11 and it is as shown in this thread:
    <can't get pse10 to take my styles, have had pse 10 since 2011 bought pse13 and installed, uninstalled pse10 inorder to get pse13 to install easer, I reinstalled pse10 but now the stules I have do not appear in the effect section. I have checked BOTh secti>
    Read post # 3 and see if it works in PSE13.
    Good luck and post back whether or not it worked.

  • MacAfee stops Photoshop when open directly a PSD file.

    Is MacAfee and Photoshop compatibles ?
    As MacAfee stops Photoshop when open directly a PSD file, the message is "OverFlow problem,internet acces stopped"

    With the advent of real-tiime scanning anti-virus, anti-malware and anti-anything software, we are seeing all sorts of issues with video editing, and not just with McAfee products, though more reports do seem to come in, regarding one, or another of their programs.
    While video editing involves larger files, usually, than Image editing, the issues are very similar. Many of those real-time scanning programs will "lock" files on writes, and many of them on reads, as well, while doing a complete survey of the file(s). This can cause all sorts of issues, like program time-outs in Ps, or Premiere Pro (or PrElements).
    With some, the "white-listing" that Pierre refers to can be done on certain file types, such as .PSD, .AVI, and others, that are not common carriers for evil code. Also, some will allow the white-listing of programs, which can then allow those programs to read/write to files as necessary, regardless of the file's type. It just depends on the exact anti-whatever program.
    One option is to shut such software down, during editing sessions, BUT they should NOT multi-task with the Internet, e-mails, etc., while the protections are down.
    Good luck,

  • How do I stop Photoshop making my files smaller when I save?

    I import a jpeg file that is say 21MB - and when I save or save as out of Photoshop CS5, (as a jpeg) it makes it only about 1.8MB - how can I stop it doing this??
    I am using Photoshop CS5 on a MacBook Pro.....
    Any help appreciated! Have already tried selecting Image, Image Size and de-selecting the checkbox for 'resample image' but it makes no difference to the save sizre.

    Be mindful of the pixel count in your image, and make sure you're not inadvertently downsampling it.  In other words, if you're opening your image at 6000 x 4000 pixels in size, then saving it at 2000 x 1333 pixels in size, you would expect to see a large reduction in file size on disk.  Such operations as Image - Image Size or Crop could inadvertently be resulting in resampling, depending on your settings.
    And even if you are saving the image at the same pixel count, Photoshop does not duplicate the JPEG save parameters your camera or other software may have used.  In fact the 1 to 12 quality scale is a purely arbitrary simplification of the numerous actual variables chosen behind the scenes that affect the JPEG compression.
    I have no idea what the meaning of such comments as "wow" is.  They don't seem particularly helpful.

  • How do I stop Photoshop from launching when I turn on my MacBook Pro?

    I subscribe to Adobe CC. Every time I turn on my MacBook Pro, Photoshop CC launches. I want this to stop. When I right click on the Photoshop app > Options > Open at Login is NOT checked. And in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items >  Photoshop is not there. What can I do? I am sure it is a simple fix. Thanks!

    As I mentioned when I right click on the Photoshop app in the dock > Options > Open at Login is NOT checked. And in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items >  Photoshop is not there in the list. I do not have any utilities installed that automatically launch applications and I do not mess with scripts or even know how to.
    I tried calling Adobe's poor outsourced customer service and was told there was a 2-5 minute wait, but after waiting 22 minutes, I had to hang up.

  • Why does Photoshop CC beeps incessantly when I do pretty much anything? (Video example included)

    Hello everyone,
    Photoshop CC has recently started beeping whenever I do pretty much anything. Here is a video of the beeping in action.
    http://www.screenr.com/3h5H
    The beeping happens when I do any of the following things:
    Increase canvas size
    Opened a new document
    Transfering an image from one document to another
    Duplicate layers
    Undo an action
    This is just what I'm pulling off the top of my head.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Still doing it?  I should have ran your video, so sorry for that.  That sort of beeping is mostly likely hardware related, and coming from the BIOS.  It is also a warning! 
    First thing I would do is install Speccy
    http://www.piriform.com/speccy
    ...and have a very close look at system temperatures.  It might be that a fan has failed, or is clogged with dust, or you are using a laptop sat on a soft surface blocking the vents?
    Or it might be memory, like a loose or failing RAM stick.  There various free downloads that will test your memory.
    Or it might be none of the above, but they are too serious not to look at ams hopefully eliminate.
    OK.  Does this only happen in Photoshop?  If so, what is unique to Photoshop?  A graphics tablet for instance?

  • T410 HDD Stop And Random Beep Issue

    Hi All!
    I have an "extra" problem with my T410, above the palmrest issue.
    I bought my laptop about 2 months ago, and it randomly makes a clicking noise, "stops" the HDD for about one second, and right after that, it beeps one time. I think the beep doesn't come from the speakers, neither the PC speaker. It also stops Windows for about one second, I can't move the mouse, and can't type in anything (it buffers the typed text, and writes it out after the stop).
    This is getting worse in the past two weeks, it makes this noise and stopping about on average every five minutes.
    Does anyone of you have (near) the same problem?
    The config:
    -The HDD is a Seagate Momentus 7200.4, 320GB.
    -i5-520M(2.4GHz), 4GB RAM, 320GB 7200rpm HD, 14.1in 1440x900 LCD, Intel 5700MHD, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn wireless, WWAN option, Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, FPR, Camera, 6c Li-Ion, Win7 Pro 32
    I've taken a video about the problem:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTvdGkeuMkY
    In the vid, the noises can be found on these times:
    0:50
    1:24
    1:50
    2:03
    2:41
    Sorry for the length of the vid, but I coldn't cut it...
    Thanks!

    Check Power Manager -> Advance -> Idle timers -> Stop HDD rotation -> Never.
    Next check if you have APS activated?

  • Preferences stopping Photoshop Elements Editor from opening

    I have Photoshop Elements 5.0 (with the 5.0.2 update installed) on Windows 7 and for a while I couldn't get it to open, I'd click on the shortcut and the start-up window thing would open (the thing with the patents and 'registered to...' etc), but it would always stop responding when it got to "Scanning for presets". I found the solution to this problem on another thread, which was to delete the preferences file from the Photoshop folders. After doing this I can open the Editor again and it works perfectly right up until I stop working, then the next time I try to open the Editor I get the same problem, which can again be temporarily fixed by deleting the preferences file- so basially I know the problem is with the preferences.
    I know I could just delete the preferences file every time I wanted to use Photoshop and it would only be a minor irritance but ideally I'd like to fix it properly. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Try running the compatibility tool. Choose Find & Fix problems under the Troubleshooting Heading via the control panel or see tutorial.

  • Stopping Photoshop Elements from Opening Automatically

    Hi guys and gurus. I am guessing this should be quite easy to solve however I can't work it out although I have looked both in the Elements and the iTunes options. I recently installed Photoshop Elements 3 on my laptop and it launches automatically each time I plug in my Ipod mini. So how do I stop it? Am using iTunes 6.
    ps. On another note - weird thing: I have posted on these forums/discussions several times in the past (but not for a while though) but my post count now shows as 0. Is there a kind of time reset happening?

    I have the same problem, PE 3.0 open automatically. I did all procedure shown in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 but ITunes doesn't lunch automatically even when I remove PE 3.0.
