Problem
When using Adobe Photoshop, holding down spacebar doesn’t toggle the hand tool to pan and scroll canvas.
Cause
Some programs can conflict with this shortcut with the main candidates being web browsers such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox or your OS accessibility settings.
Solution
Close down other open programs starting with your web browsers. After you close each program check back to your Photoshop file to see if the problem has been resolved.
If this doesn’t resolve the problem then you may have an issue with your preferences: Reset Photoshop to Default.
This only seems to happen if you open Photoshop after you open a conflicting program.
Thanks, I Reset Photoshop to Default. Now its Working.
Thanks, Chrome seems to be the culprit for me.
This is so silly, lol. Only seems to happen on Macs too. It was Firefox for me.. so silly.
It worked! I closed Firefox and Chrome and the hand came back. I don’t really get this. But it worked. It’s weird because I always have browsers running.
Anyway, thank you!
type msconfig in the run menu
disable the MSOFFICE from startup.
its worked for me. its the software that causing the trouble
Chrome was also the culprit for me. Never happened before, so very odd.
Weird! Just switched to a Mac a few weeks ago and had this issue too. For me, I tried shutting down Chrome but it made no difference. Then tried quitting Safari (which wasn’t even in use) and that’s what worked. Such an odd bug!
It was parallels desktop for me
That solved it for me ^_^

Firefox was the culprit. Mac OSX10.9.5 Photoshop CC
Thank you!
If using widows go to
Mouse/touchpad settings (or similar)
In the delay drop down menu select disable or turn off delay
Thanks, problem solve!…it was Safari the problem
Yep, this solved it for me as well for both Photoshop & Illustrator. Chrome seemed to be okay but Safari was the culprit!
