Applications crash immediately when I click and drag object. Every time in every Adobe program.

Application crashes when I click and drag object. Any time I am in an adobe program on my new computer (OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, 15 inch macbook pro 2.5gHz) say Illustrator for example, it will be fine until I inevitably need to click and drag something.
It immediately crashes, every single time. Same with Premiere, same with AE, same with photoshop. This is a brand new computer and I've tried all available versions CC2014, CC, and CS6. Anybody have some idea of what is happening? I've also tried using a bluetooth mouse to see if it's a problem with the touchpad. How could clicking and dragging cause every single application to crash 100% of the time.
Thank you in advance!

Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed

HT1751 when I click and drag itunes into a external harddrive all I get is a icon in the harddrive not the files

when I click and drag itunes to an external harddrive all I get is a shortcut an icon to itunes not the files the music to itunes
I am running windows xp home edition

I had this problem once and in my case it happenned with music I had not purchased through itunes and also to music that stored in icloud. Once I brought that music off icloud and into my laptop it resolved most of the issue.

Why won't my mac highlight items when I click and drag?

Has anyone had their mac suddenly stop highlighting? When I click and drag it does not highlight.

Take the case off... does the screen turn off like it is designed to do when the device is near your face?
If it does, the case is the problem.
If it does not, then the sensor may be faulty, restore the device as new and try again.

When I click and drag items they will not release. How do I fix this?

If third-party software called "Air Display" is installed, remove it according to the developer's instructions, then reboot. Back up all data before making any changes.

Crashes consistently when control clicking a selected object

CS4 InDesign crashes consistently when control clicking a selected object. Preferences have been reloaded, the program has been reinstalled, all without any effect towards this issue. Any suggestions?

Yeah, it was InDesign Hangs when right clicking on graphic.
There was a lot of head-scratching and the rather unsatisfying conclusion was when the OP removed ancient applications that might have been a choice for "Edit Original," then the problem went away.
I guess the conclusion is that right-clicking on an image iterates over the possible apps that can open an image (for Edit With and Edit Original) and does [something], and for some reason that [something] was hanging. Not clear what the app was. But presumably if you right click the file in the Finder and look at the list provided by Open With, it is similar.
Or you could try the suggestions I offered to the OP in that thread that it looks like he never used.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 crash when I Click and Drag

Hi All, I have a problem with Premiere CC 2014 that is driving me crazy!
The issue is as follows:
If I try to drag a clip, sequence, effect or transition anywhere within the premiere, it will crash - with "Sorry, a serious error has occurred" message. The program will crash, quit and the saved recovery project is usually healthy (luckily!). BUT, as soon as I've re-started the program, and reloaded the project - or any project for that matter - the problem persists. As soon as I click and drag, Premiere crashes!
In order to 'reset' this, I have to restart my machine. Once I have done so, I can continue editing as normal for a while (not long, perhaps up to an hour, or so) but eventually, it WILL crash again. I've not been able to work out what I have to do in order to trigger this - it seems random. But once it's happened, only restarting my computer will resolve it - and then only temporarily.
Here are all the facts:
The crash ONLY happens when I drag something... This can include moving a clip on the timeline, dragging a clip form the source viewer or project window, dragging an effect or transition.
The crash happens after I have clicked, as soon as I start to move my mouse.
I CAN click and drag to extend in and out points on the timeline, and I can do 'insert' edit using the button on the source monitor. No crash here.
The footage plays fine.
I am trying this on a CLEAN OS X install, with only Adobe packages installed, to eliminate any potential of interference from other programs. There are no third party plugins or drivers installed. No user data installed either (preferences, photos, documents, etc) - as fresh as it comes!
I am not running Time Machine in the BG
My system is: Macbook Pro 2011, 16GB Ram, 1tb SSD, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. Intel Graphics card, so no option to turn on or off hardware acceleration. It is set to software only.
I have tested this with projects and footage on an external drive, as well as internal, same issue.
I noticed the issue had started on, or around 25-27th November 2014.
Interestingly, I have noticed that once this crash has occurred in Premiere, a similar problem will occur in After Effects as soon as I drag a file or layer... doesn't matter what the layer is. The crash seems less elegant here, I don't get an error message, it just freezes and I have to 'force quit'. Again, the problem persists until the machine is restarted.
I have been using my macbook and premiere pro cc 2014 on Mavericks for a long time, and had no problems - so I know it should work fine! The only things that changed were an update to Yosemite, I started using Time Machine to make regular backups, I installed a few new fonts and any CC updates that happened in the background... I can rule out most of these because of my fresh install, with no user data, fonts plugins or time machine to confuse matters... It must be an Adobe bug with Yosemite!
Any ideas?
Thanks so much in advance!!

Please check this blog post. Updating from Time Machine can cause this issue: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later).

Click and drag: object jumps to another location (not lag)

Hi,
I'm having a really annoying problem with Photoshop CS4, This is hapening since I updated to CS4 about a couple of months ago.
I've already updated my drivers and did a reset of the photoshop preferences. So if you could take a look at my problem I would really be thankfull!
Sometimes when I...:
When I use the Hand tool to browse trough the artboard it suddenly jumps to a random place on my artboard.
When I try to drag any item to another position it jumps somewhere not supposed to.
When selecting something with the rectangular marquee tool, drawing a shape, placing a gradient, transform tool.....
This is hapening with every tool I need to click and drag. (And yes I!m using a decent mouse it works perfectly with other Adobe software)
I don't think it's lag caused by my hardware beacause everything is running verry smooth except the above-mentioned problems. And these problems al happen in an instance.
Photoshop CS4
Windows Vista 64bit
Core2Duo T9400 @ 2,53GHz
8GB Ram
Nvidia Quadro FX 770M
Can anyone Help me? Thanks in advance!

Firefox crashes immediately when I click on the icon

On 9/21/2011 firefox worked fine. On 9/22/2011 when I clicked on the firefox icon I immediately got the mozilla crash report. In firefox help, under firefox crashes I have followed the steps listed:
Update Firefox
Update your plugins
Update Windows
Update your drivers
Update your Internet Security software
Check for viruses or spyware
Check to see if the crash happens in safe mode
The crash still happens in Safe Mode
The crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode
Get help fixing this crash
None of these steps have helped.
Firefox does crash in safe mode.

There are quite a few reports with that crash signature:
*[[https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/9a19ac34-b249-4e91-b5e3-2a6352110923 Crash Reports in nsSimpleURI::SchemeIs(char const*, int*)]]
Look like a problem with running JavaScript.
Does it happen on specific pages?
Does it help if you disable the JavaScript JIT compiler temporarily as a test?
Try to set these two prefs to false on the about:config page to disable the JavaScript JIT compiler for scripts on web pages.
javascript.options.methodjit.content
javascript.options.tracejit.content
If you still see the crashes then do the same with these two for Chrome content (browser and extensions):
javascript.options.methodjit.chrome
javascript.options.tracejit.chrome
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Help! When i click and drag, only the frame moves!

So when i drag a pictue in a frame, whether its eps, png watever, only the frame outline drags with my mouse, the content stays where it started, then when i relese click in a new place the content moves to it.
I think this is some sort of fast mode or something but i cant figure out how to turn it off?
If i click and hold for a couple seconds then when i drag the picture drags with my mouse, but its so annoying having to hover on the picture every time i want to move something.
It also happens with transforming the picture, scalling it or rotationg it etc. I just get a preview of where it will end up from the frame outline then when i release the picture goes there.
Im on CS6.
If someone could help would be amazing, i've searched the web and im stumped!

You are looking for Live Screen Redraw, and reseetting the prefs won't do a thing becasue it's set to dealyed by default in CS6. You can set it to Always in the prefs, or you can click and hold for a moment before dragging to get the live view.

I can't organize my tabs, when I click and drag on a tab to move it, it just stays in it original place

I have more than one tab open, and I can usually move them around and organize them freely. But a couple of days ago when I tried to move them they just get stuck and stay in the spot it was put in when i created the new tab. I didn't download or change anything. this just started happening when I opened my browser a couple days ago.

Did you try to close and restart Firefox/
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

I have several pics that when I click on them another photo comes up. when I click and drag the one underneath comes out but when I drop it the other photo is over top again. How can I fix this?

I have several pics in my iphoto library that have shown up in my folders with the original photo laid underneath it. How do I seperate them?

You don't already have a back up?
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
With the back up? Nothing unless things get worse after the fix. If they do, restore from the back up.

Aperture 2.1 crashes immediately when I click on Adjustment tab

Anyone has seen that, been able to fix it ?
Message was edited by: edasque

It seems that while rebuilding the library didn't do it, checking it for consistency (Comment-Option at start) fixed the issue.
Apple had me de-install, reinstall, re-update, try with another library, etc but none of it really fixed anything.

I am unable to click and drag some songs to a playlist I just created. There is a red circle with a line diagonal through it when I attempt to drag it to the playlist?

I am unable to add some songs to a playlist. There is a red circle with a line diagnonally through it that appears when I click and drag to the new playlist.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

Error message when click and dragging music to ipod

I purchased a song on itunes, it downloaded, but when I clicked and dragged to my music under "Jen's ipod" (like I've done a hundred times), I get this message "Never Again" was not copied to "Jen's ipod" because you are not authorized to play it on this computer. What in the heck does that mean? I have my setting's marked so that I can manually manage music and videos, and I've done it for every other song I've bought. Let me know if you can help.
Thanks

"Never Again" was not copied to "Jen's ipod" because you are not authorized to play it on this computer.
try playing the song for a few seconds in itunes. do you get asked to authorise? if so, and if you do, will the song then transfer to the ipod?

Selection Tools, Click and drag to select option

Hi! I would really appreciate some help with AI. Im working on a Mac book pro.
I have previously been working on CorelDraw and have now moved over to AI again.
I dont understand why I cant Click and drag my selection tool over certain objects and then select those objects. When I click and drag the selection tool or any other selection tool, it selects EVERYTHING on the page. I just want to click, drag and select the objects that I want to group together. Is there some sort of setting where I can do this?? I have watched tutorials about the selection tools. The tutorials show that this is possible but for some reason mine isnt doing it...
I hope this makes sense, please please can someone assist me.
Thank you!

valentevn,
This may be relevant to the strangenesses that you encounter.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
