Well I have now worked out the action I had lost in the move to OS X and after much giggling about I have got it to work with my iMac. All things ok until I try and run the action with the f key I allocated to it during the action record process. Every time I press the combination of keys, in my case cmd & f8 iTunes starts to play! This is of course is the default function f8 button does on the bluetooth keyboard. This in itself is not too annoying, I could after all just run the action from within the action drop down. However, when I come to map the actions for the buttons on Wacom tablet this may cause problems. If this is so then this is a real bad mark against Adobe or Apple or both. The mac is supposed to be creative friendly, remember all those patronising “…I’m a Mac and I’m a PC…” ads, and now I find some of the core tools of creativity on a Mac ie Photoshop and a Wacom tablet may not work as well as on a PC then you do wonder…however, there could be a much more plausible answer – user error! Only time will well.
