Why does dragging on a Touch Screen change the cursor into a Hand Tool?

Why does dragging on a Touch Screen change the cursor into a Hand Tool? This did not happen in CS 5.5 and I could edit on my touch screen monitor. With Photoshop CS 6, as soon as I start to drag, the cursor changes to a hand cursor. I have look at all of the system options and nothing seems to affect it so I have to assume it is something wrong with Photoshop CS 6.

Try staying with it for a while. It is much nicer panning that way. Give it a flick, and touch the screen again when in the right position.
I think it came in with CS4 BTW, but it makes a lot of sense keeping it on the Touch version.

My CS3/PS has started to change the cursor into a line of three VERY small icons when dragged over a picture or menu. Thus it is VERY difficult for instance to drag a layer in the layer list to the wastebasket - the cursor simply is too big for the waiste

My CS3/PS has started to change the cursor into a line of three VERY small icons when dragged over a picture or menu. Thus it is VERY difficult for instance to drag a layer in the layer list to the wastebasket - the cursor simply is too big for the waistebasket icon. Even all other exact work is impossible. Of course I have checked all the cursor presets but nothing seems to help. My OS is Windows7.

Have you tried resetting Preferences?
A logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

HT2470 Why does this not explain how to change the sort order?

Why does this (i.e. support at Apple.com) not explain how to change the sort order? I can "arrange" by Date Modified for example but it won't let me switch to use most recent dates first. Also, what is Apple-speak for arrange versus sort anyway? It seems I used to be able to click on a column heading in finder and get a drop down arrow allowing me to change the sort sequence.

Arrange roughly translates to "group the items in the folder." Sort is how each group is ordered. If you have arrange set to none, you can sort by anything. However, there is no way in the Arrange/Sort menu to choose the direction. The only way to do that is in the List View, and you must have Arrangement set to None.
I've submitted an Enhancement Request to allow choosing sort direction from the Arrange/Sort menu, but I haven't ever gotten a response, which is good and bad. Good because they will often respond that they have considered it and don't plan on implementing. Bad in that they've haven't implemented it.

Why does it take an eternity to change the name of a Title in my iTunes movie library?

When I goof up and put a movie into my iTunes library with an error in the name, I click on the name and change it. My spinning wheel starts up and just goes and goes and goes. All I did was change the title of a movie; this should be simple. Why does that take an eternity? It happened in Snow Leopard and it happens in Lion.

When you change a tag, iTunes needs to rewrite the file back to the disc.
If the file is a 4MB MP3 it only takes a second, but with a large movie file it can take a while.

Why does placing links in Illustrator now change the "Date Modified" data for all of my files?

This seems to be a new glitch that started after I installed the latest updates to Illustrator CC (2014) and reoccurs every time on both computers I work on:
When I choose to place a new image in my Illustrator file and the window opens to let me choose a file to place, the "Date Modified" field of all the files in the folder I'm viewing (except other Illustrator files) quickly changes to the current date and time. This is definitely happening when I'm in Illustrator because when I needed files from a folder that had hundreds of images in it and I was able to select a file quickly, I was able to do so before it had changed the date on all of my files. However, when I needed a file from a folder that had hundreds of images in it but I took a long time to find the image I needed, Illustrator had time to change the date modified on all of my files. This might seem like an unimportant issue because it doesn't actually seem to modify or damage any of my files, but having all of the dates change on my files is a serious problem for my workflow and file management issues. So far, my only work around has been to use back-up image files, but that's not a long term solution and I don't understand why Illustrator should be modifying the dates of my files.
Is there a setting I can choose somewhere to prevent this problem? If not, is there somewhere I can report this kind of glitch? I'm not sure if I'm using the exact language necessary to get the issue across so please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

Why does my LG Cosmos 2 calendar change the start time to the same as the end time?

This does not happen all the time but often enough to be a pain. When I enter a new appointment in the calendar sometimes the phone changes the start time to what I entered as the end time. I thought maybe it was me but it happened twice today and I watched carefully to make sure I was entering it correctly. I was and it is the phone making the change. How do I fix this?

Hi AyaniB
It's been doing it for some time. It seems to be random in occurrence. The day I made the post it happened three times. Since then I have been watching carefully and it does not seem to have happened again. Am I missing any phone updates or anything? How do I check that?
Thanks for your help.

How to Change the Cursor to a Hand When Over a Button Component?

I have added a button from the Components Menu. When I rollover the button, it changes color slightly but I would also like the cursor to turn to the traditional hand. I have tried buttonMode = true and that doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.

Thanks RR...I appreciate it very much!

Why does added text disappear when I move the cursor

After adding text to an unprotected .pdf file the text disappears when I move the cursor and want to add a second box of text. The text in the first box reappears when I double click on the space where the box was. How do I set the text so that it remains visible and printable?

Hi,
I think the data in the PDF file was filled-in using MAC preview.
One option is to ask the user to fill the file again using Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Or else refer to following link:

I am on a Mac and just upgraded to Firefox 8. The cursor has become a permanent open hand and I can't click on links or CoolPreviews anymore. How can I change the cursor back to hand with pointed finger or arrow?

Upgraded from Firefox 3.6 to 8 on Mac OS X
Firefox crashed 3 x upon new upgrade and cursor is now a permanent open hand making it difficult to access links and CoolPreviews.
I want to change this or overwrite the new Firefox with my old one which was slow but at least worked.
I will do this through Time Machine.,
Any advice?

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check

Is there a way to hide the cursor or change the cursor to a hand?

Hi,
I think the title is self explanatory. The reason I want to do it is because I'm developing a touchscreen interface and I reckon it would look better if I had a hand instead of a cursor or if I got rid of the cursor completely.
Cheers,
elmicko

Yeah theres a way.
Use method
setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
ciao

Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

Why does my 8GB Ipod Touch have Voice Memos?

Why does my 8GB Ipod Touch have Voice Memos? According to Apple's manual the Voice Memos will only work on the 32GB Ipod Touch. The old 8GB does not have a microphone.

The Apple Users Guide for the the iPod w/ iOS 4.2.1 says the the 2G, 3G and 4G iPod have voice memos but you need an external for the 2G and 3G models since they do not have an internal mic. No info on 8 GB model not having VM. You can get the Users Guide from the iBook store.
