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.

My solution on my 2013 Toshiba Satellite laptop was turning off SmartSense by going to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers > Mouse/Mouse Properties > Device Settings (the last tab with the red leaf icon) > Settings (button under the device list) > Click on SmartSense > Click on gear icon > Move slider from "Max" to "Off" > Click close > Viola!

I'm guessing you need to press the f key a couple of times until you are in full screen mode.

So I just had this happen for the first time today with PS CC 2014.  I closed all my programs and shut the computer down.  then restarted and it started working again.

Windows 8

Go to  Metro UI> Settings > PC and Devices > Trackpad > Touchpad - 

  • Deactivate the Touchpad Delay.

Also:

I used a different wireless mouse which worked fine. The issue is possibly related to Mouse/Touch problems.

    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!
