Always pressed shift key 'Ghost'?

Hello

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard. My Master Collection CS5 is updated. But I I have a serious problem I've ever had: when you draw something in Illustrator or Photoshop, it's as if I had the SHIFT key. Rectangles can only be squares, ellypses are circles. With one of the handles to resize them proportionally resizes.

In addition, in Illustrator I can't click on the pasteboard to deselect everything, because the last things I've selected remain selected. I have to shift-click all to turn it off.

I don't have this problem in other Adobe applications, such as InDesign or in the Apple Preview. So, what's not?

Please don't suggest me to reinstall the suite, because the original disks are at home, thousands of kilometres away where I am now.

Best regards

Paolo

Paolo,

This behavior is probably caused by Illy get disturbed by other applications; When disturbed, it confused. You can find a list of the usual Suspects in point 7 in the other options.

Solved. I do not delete it, because it might be helpful to others with the same symptoms. I restarted the Mac and averything returned fine.  I'd be happy to understand what was wrong at first.

The present happiness may only last until you start upwards of delinquency or applications.

  • (Redirected) The Alienware keyboard hard to press SHIFT key

    I have a keyboard SK - 8165 Alienware. Press right shift has become hard to push and will sometimes cause a being wrongly lowercase letters and other problems of course. I tried to remove the key and clean under it and resetting, with no luck.

    You might think a wrong key is not a big problem, but it is. Especially with such a large key. It's annoying enough to make me want to a new keyboard.

    Is there anything I can try to do to fix this?

  • Propeller always pressed function key

    My function key is still when I push on it when I want it to be turned off. An example of this would be that I have to type Alt + Fn + F4 if I want to close a window. I think it has to do with me download a BIOS update for Windows 8, but I can't find how to turn it off.

    disable the lock feature, it should be fn + esc

    Try another keyboard, if that solves your problem is faulty and should be replaced.

  • I missed the SHIFT key and press several keys in the lower corner of my keyboard LH. Firefox split up into several iterations, and I had to reboot.

    I missed the SHIFT key and press several buttons in the lower left corner of my keyboard. Firefox has lost the tab that I was using and divided into a separate iteration for each other (plus two I had closed). I could not recover and had to close all but one of them and restore all my tabs.

    What I had done and how I should have recovered?

    First, you need to update to Firefox 18.0.1 Firefox updated to the latest version. The version you are on is bug and little course.

    Second, it looks like you may have entered groups of tabs. Use tab groups to organize a large number of tabs is that look familiar?

  • Satellite Pro M40: computer stops when you press the SHIFT key

    Sometimes when I press the shift key it wonder if I want to shut down the computer. It also changes the internet Explorer mode in full screen. When it arrives it will be continually for centuries and then suddenly stop. Then start again. It seems not to happen at any given time. I disabled the hot key in the Toshiba utility and which comes to the top of the Tower stops when I pressed the SHIFT key, it does not give me the option.
    It's really annoys me because I can't just think what to do.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It's very strange. It is the first time I heard about this issue.
    As much as I know the Toshiba utility cannot add additional functions to shift and make this key as a stop button.
    I have gift? don't know if you have installed the 3rd party applications that can change the keyboard feature, but you should check this possibility.

    In addition can also be a defective hardware. Maybe something wrong with the keyboard controller. But of course the diagnostic test is necessary.

  • What is the cause of the sound after the restart of a computer and pressing SHIFT with any key.

    Whenever I restart my computer, I hear a noise. This happens when I press the SHIFT key with any key. the sound is heard only once. I've not heard this noise before. I use Vista SP2 in HP

    Hi shield - I.

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. what kind of sound you hear when you restart the computer?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • My left shift key beeps twice when you press on--NOT STICKY KEYS

    My left shift key does not work. The law works fine. When you press it, it sounds twice. Has Ive restore my computer to an earlier point and that did not fix the problem, any more than to disable and turn off StickyKeys. The key itself is sensitive, it leads me to believe that it cannot be the entire keyboard. Any ideas would be useful.

    BTW, I am running Windows 7 on a laptop Asus U43F

    1. See manual ASUS [service] to see if there is any special significance to it. http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/p/post.htm I thought, but it seems not applicable since it is not starting, it is when running.
    2. check the sticky keys for accessibility-related technologies starting with F1 for help. There are a number of them. start going through one by one to see if something is on. You may have accidentally market something (there are combinations of keys that do this). Control Panel, display small icons, accessibility.
    3. buy a $5 or $22 USB keyboard. IBM makes a mechanical keyboard nice $79, classic, I believe to be a joy to type on (they make them for IBM). http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/category/UKBD
    4. Plug it in
    5. Try the left SHIFT key
    6. If she still double beeps {is your installation of windows or something in the laptop, not your keyboard. you can try reinstalling windows using a repair, which is less expensive, you need to reinstall your programs and drivers, but you keep your data. you can keep this configuration, my mother a.} otherwise, {hardware of the laptop may be in need of repair could cost between $200 (replace keyboard)-800 $ (motherboard).}

    There are more expensive mechanical keyboards, but they are for games.

  • SHIFT key no longer works correctly

    Just after the update for Sierra, my shift key don't work as it should. I can use it to make caps, so I know there is nothing wrong with the keyboard, but I can't use it for shortcuts in the programs.

    For example, before I could hold shift and right-click to automatically collect some loot in WoW or use SHIFT and regular clicks to mark several emails. It doesn't work anymore and I have no idea where to start troubleshooting! The only thing Ive done so far is to restart my iMac did not help...

    Hey Lady.

    We will try to reset the NVRAM first. Usually, who takes care of a lot of things after the upgrade of the Sierra.

    Restart your Mac and hold down the command, Option, P, and R, which will reset the NVRAM.

    Before you try to make sure that you really begin to press the 4 keys simultaneously in the command sequence first finger, the Option 2 finger, ring finger P and fourth finger R... only after having heard the startup chime. You will have to perhaps exercise to make this right if you can't do it right the first time. The idea is that, once you have all these 4 keys after hearing the first chime you always hold on the key and release just after hear you the second startup chime. And then after that it starts to make a restart more and then test the SHIFT key on your keyboard.

    If it does not then I buy a secondary keyboard and test if it does the same thing.

  • SHIFT key is not compel forms more

    Hello!

    I'm new to After Effects, so I started a tutorial recently in order to learn how to use it properly. However, there is something that makes no sense to me.

    As a user of Photoshop, I always use the SHIFT key to make a rectangle or a circle perfect, if it comes to shapes or selection. As I have lived during the tutorial, this feature also available in AE.

    Unfortunately, this option no longer works for some reason any. What it does, it is fundamentally changes the orientation of the actual shape instead of make a rectangle or a perfect circle. Please take a look at the pictures attached for a better understanding of what I'm trying to say. The first image showing my selection without using the SHIFT key pressed, on the second, you see what the SHIFT key for selection. The strangest thing is that it actually worked before and I don't remember everything I've done that could cause this problem.

    Please help me solve this problem!

    Thank you!

    Laszlo

    The mask, you draw them in the lower frame, while holding the SHIFT key, IS a square.  Your composition is 720 x 576 PAL anamorphic, but you don't have pixel preview turned on, so everything is squashed horizontally.  Turn on preview BY correct, IE the button highlighted yellow as shown below.

    Thank you, also, for display screen grab.  It makes it so much easier to diagnose the problem.

  • I can't connect to my mac because the SHIFT key is down. Then he showed the top letter and can not connect... The mac is also overheating. I went to the apple store and they said that they cannot fix and need to send to the factory. Connection of same slo

    I just used my mac. I bought it on January 2014.

    A few months ago I couldn't connect to my mac more. There is nothing special on my mac to record.

    He was showing the wrong password when I tried to connect to my mac. It is overheating sometimes without help.

    So, I brought it to the apple store and they said that the shift key is down and therefore superior letter is all the time. and they could not help me open on the inside. Apple store guys suggested me to display somewhere or send it to the factory.

    My question is

    (1) what should I do

    (2) if I send to the factory or should go to the repair shop.

    you guys have an idea what the problem with my mac?

    I suggest you send to the factory, or if you have an apple authorized dealer / repair shop to fix the SHIFT key first, then a glance as to why the fan is still running hot.

    Maybe something has damaged the keyboard (shift key) area and also the fan internal.

    You can't have something special on the computer, but I'd always spend extra money to repair.

    The sooner, the better.

    If you need take photos or documents off the power the computer have you tried to connect an external keyboard to type your password?

  • Crazy Safari, I can't press 'shift' and press 'h' together

    Hello everyone,

    I really try the search response, but it seems that no one have the same problem as me. As noted on my subject on the safari version 9.1.1, version OS X El Capitan 10.11.5, every time I want to press 'shift' and 'h' key together it seems that my tab all disappear and I go to the apple.com website. I have also tried using chrome to do the same thing but doesn't seem to have any problem, so I think the problem is the safari itself. The problem persists after that I updated my OS X.  Oh and I tried to use app to remove the malware or adware, but it does not detect anything.

    It was very long and I don't notice really this problem a lot because I don't really use uppercase ' h' on my tongue, but it still bothers me.

    Someone knows about this problem and maybe help me. I have a video that would prove it.

    I'm so frustrated and I wanted to reinstall my OS X, but unfortunately my internet is so slow and have to wait like 14 hours...

    Link to the video I mentioned:

    https://drive.Google.com/open?ID=0B5tAW2fzPQRlbXhvMkdFTmpTRkU

    Any help will be greatly appreciated and sorry if you find my English not understandable (not my 1st language).

    Try to reset the settings of Safari:

    1. open Safari

    2. click on the Safari menu at the top (to the right of the Apple logo)

    3. Select the Preferences/Privacy tab

    4. click on remove all data from the Web site

    5. close Safari.

    Remove cache Safari files:

    1. click on finder

    2. look for the menu GO to top

    3. click on GO and hold down the option key. This will show a user library folder.

    4. click library and find the Caches folder

    5. in the folder caches com.apple.Safari Ouvrezledossier

    6. move the Cache.db file Trash.
