Can't drag around PNG files

Hi, I just got Windows CS3 and have discovered I can't drag png files into other file windows in CS3. I can drag jpg's, psd pieces from different layers, tif's - but not png's. I could in 7.0. What am I forgeting?

Nothing. File format has nothing to do with the image once it is loaded into photoshop. Is it a background layer? Maybe locked? Have you tried selecting the entire image? (ctrl-a) If you can select it you can copy and paste it.
Another possibility is you found some kind of bug. Did you try trashing the configuration files? In the Faq of this forum it should tell you how.
Good luck,
Silk

I can't drag a png file onto a psd file in PSE 10 editor

After using PSE 3 for years, I have recently installed PSE 10 and have begun using it primarily for making digital scrapbooks. With PSE 10, for some reason I cannot drag a png file onto a psd file. I probably have missed some setting somewhere but can't figure it out. Help, please!

It is transparent. However, it seems the problem is fixed. I am able to
drag the top layer of the psd file onto the png file instead of the opposite
which is what I was trying to do. The top layer of the psd file was
originally a jpg photo so maybe that has something to do with it. In my
previous version of PSE I worked with PNG and PSD files all the time and
don't remember having this problem. Thanks so much for all of your prompt
replies.

Can't Drag in MIDI files from Finder

HI,
I can't drag in MIDI files from the Finder in GB. I used to be able to do this easily a month or so ago.
HELP says that I am doing it correctly. Anyone else have this problem?

Great suggestion. That worked great. Weird thing is that previous versions of GB allowed me to drag in the very same MIDI files w/o the QT round trip. Perhaps a different version of the OS or QT has changed this. Well, thanks for the help.

Can't drag and drop files into Indesign.

My ability to dragon and drop files into InDesign has stopped. I also cannot copy and paste. I have tried dropping previously used jpg's and PDFs as well as copying text from Acrobat, Chrome and Word. I reset the prefrences with control option command shift, but still no luck - I can't drag and drop files. Also, I cannot move files with my mouse in the program.

Nobody can help you without system information. Could be anything from graphics driver issues to a defective mouse to a busted operating system...

I can't drag and drop files to playlist or to Shuffle.

I have iTunes 10.5, and I can't drag and drop files to playlists or to my shuffle. For playlists, I have to right click and "add to playlist" and for shuffle, I have to copy song and paste it into shuffle. Is anyone else having this problem? How can I fix it?

A lot of people are having this problem. Most commonly, they are using a Wacom tablet, and sometimes updating its driver helps. I don't have a Wacom, but still have the "can't drag" problem. Here are the workarounds I have found in the forums so far...
1. "gusto drag" -- slide the pointer across a song and click.
2. clicking with both left and right mouse buttons.
3. selecting items and do a "create playlist from selected". Then select the iPod and autofill from that playlist.

HT4236 can I drag and drop files on to my ipad?

Can l drag and drop files to my new ipad or do l have to use iTunes?
To be honest l find iTunes a bit user unfriendly.
Thanks for any info

There are apps that will let you drag and drop files from the computer to the iPad. I have an app called File Manager Folder + that will let you drag and top files and also transfer them via WiFi. It's a pretty useful app actually.
Check it out here.

You also need to download an app on your computer, which is free, in order for this to work.

I can't drag and drop files...

Hello!
Out of nowhere, I can no longer drag and drop files on my desktop or within my Finder windows. I also cannot drag pictures from Safari onto my Desktop. I do not think there is a problem with my Trackpad as I can still move Safari windows and the like around the screen. I am using an Intel-based Mac Book Pro with OS X 10.5.8 Any help would be amazing and much appreciated. Thank you!

I'm having the same issue. I can no longer drag images from Safari (5.1.2) to Finder. I am on Lion (10.7.2). Has anybody found a fix for this? Having to right-click and "Save As..." makes me feel like I'm working in Windows XP, which is, needless to say, he11 of an unbearable kind.

Can't drag and drop files in iTunes 7.6

I've suddenly lost the ability to drag and drop files in iTunes, so I can't change the order of items within a playlist, move tracks from one playlist to another, or move a selection of tracks to an external drive. When I click & hold on a track, nothing happens at all; if you try to drag the file it doesn't move then bounce back - just no reaction at all. One day it worked fine, next time I launched iTunes the problem appeared. I'd had 7.6 up and running for about a month without this problem, and had no other software downloads or updates immediately before the problem appeared. I'd not changed any iTunes preferences either.
I've checked that lefthand column in the playlist is selected, & that shuffle is turned off, & I'm not trying to move things into a smart list. I've tried trashing the com.apple plist, and repairing disk permissions. My iTunes library lives on an external hard drive, but this hasn't been an issue before. Drag and drop still works fine in other apps, so I don't suppose it's a mouse or Finder issue.
I see a few other people have posted about this, but I haven't seen any solutions yet that worked for me. Am I missing something blindingly obvious? If anyone's got any ideas on this one I'd be eternally grateful - the ability to move things around easily was one of the main attractions of iTunes for me.

Thanks David - that wasn't it, but I have managed to find a fix after trawling through various forums - I logged out then logged back in. Simple as that! Sadly I'm still none the wiser as to what caused the problem in the first place, so don't know if or when it'll reoccur. I also found it was affecting iPhoto after I first posted, so not an iTunes specific problem obviously. Thanks to all those who posted fixes in various forums, though some looked a little too scary for me to try out...

Outline around .png files

I created a .png file by taking a screen shot and sent the file to someone who opened it on a pc. On the pc, the file opened with a boxed outline around the image.
does anyone know why that happened and how to prevent it from happening?
thanks, sandy

Thanks for clarifying that windoze can render pngs. I understand about the lower quality, but the suggestion was to determine if those same PCs showed the black border when viewing your jpeg version.

Cloud storage - how can I use my .png file shared in "public mode" like a hosted file ?

Hi every body,
I am french and new on the forum so please be indulgent ! (for my english and my questions).
I am working on HTML signature for my company and I have a little problem.
to be viewed, my .png files needs to be on a server. So I remember that adobe gave me a 100giga storage for me to use.
Cool !
But the problem is that the link only send me to a special view of my file... a jpeg one. So when I try to copy the url I can only use the .jpg
I want my file !
So my question is : is it possible that the cloud storage isn't supposed to share any thing else than a miniature of my file and a download button ?
How can I use it for my signature if I can't acess it but only download it?
Thank you very much for your time
Morgan

Hi Morgan,
You are correct. Public link sharing works as follows:
- you can share a public URL to your PNG file on Creative Cloud. The recipient of the URL can view a preview of the file and download the file in the original PNG format or JPG format.
- it is not possible to give other users direct access to the original file in Creative Cloud.

Can't drag/drop music files from Itunes 10.5.2 to my new Ipod Touch

Greetings!
I I spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with an apple tech and really feel like we've tried everything! Switching from manually managing music to auto synch and back, reinstalled ITunes, etc and I still can't drag and drop music files on to my Ipod. I am able create a new playlist, but music files can't be dragged into there either... Could it be a conflict between Itunes 10.5.2 and Mac OS X 10.5.8 that I'm unaware about? Any ideas?! I'm stuck!

Are you using a Wacom tablet instead of a mouse? If you are, read this http://accretiondisc.com/blog/2011/07/23/itunes-playlists-dragndrop-and-wacom-ta blets/

Can't drag folders or files between apps using mission control

I've been using Lion without any incident so far, but now that I've downloaded the lastest update (10.7.2) I can't drag a file or folder using mouse click (or my wacom tablet) between apps or folders - gestures simply will not work.
Once I click on a file, the multi-touchpad stop responding - if this is for real, Mac just lost it's allure... the nimble feature of exposé and/or mission control was this sole ability to navigate through apps and draggin files.
What's the status, anyone got this issue already?

I've been encountering the exact same problem! that was my favourite multi-touch gesture of all, which improved the productivity greatly. The only workaround for me is to assign hot-corners to mission control and drag files i want to the corners, but I really hope there's an explanation for this because i would really like that feature to be back

Can't drag and drop files into Attachments while in Administrator mode

I can drag and drop files into attachment easily when I'm not in Administrator mode. But I need to be in Administrator mode at work and therefore for some reason I cannot drag and drop files into attachments; I'm forced to manually search and select particular files for attaching, which significantly slows my day-to-day work.
Is it a bug?
I have the up-to-date version of Thunderbird and I use MS Windows 7 Ultimate.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thx

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.
