Can't Drag Clips From Browser! Have To Double-Click  To Load Into Viewer.

For some reason my DV PAL clips in the Browser can't be dragged.
I have to double-click them to load them into the Viewer from where I can drag them anywhere.
What have I done . . . . . go on, I bet it's so simple I'll be kicking myself?
Incidentally I have swapped my silver keyboard for an old white one but FCP 6 is working fine.

Well I'll be hornswoggled . . . . . it was a preference job!
Come to think of it, I was fiddling with them earlier, but only changed the number of levels of "Undo" from 10 to 30.

  • The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is always talking.  How do I make her voice go away and my IPAD work like it should.

    If you've turned VoiceOver on then see if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and then change what Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home is set to.
    Otherwise, via 'the touch to select double-tap to activate' process you need to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off
    The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
    Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
    So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither

  • Splash screen works from browser, not when double-clicked on desktop

    Hi,
    I am having trouble making a splash screen appear and have a specific question about it.
    The code is from the tutorial at:
    http://blogs.sun.com/thejavatutorials/entry/changing_the_java_web_start
    I have changed the codebase attribute of the jnlp element so it refers to my own server:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!-- JNLP File for ButtonDemo -->
    <jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="https://justanexample.com/buttondemo" href="ButtonDemo.jnlp">
      <information>
        <title>ButtonDemo</title>
        <vendor>The Java(tm) Tutorial: Sun Microsystems, Inc.</vendor>
        <homepage href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/examples/components/index.html#ButtonDemo"/>
        <icon href="mysplash.jpg" kind="splash"/>
        <description>ButtonDemo</description>

        <j2se version="1.6+"/>
        <jar href="ButtonDemo.jar"/>
      </resources>
      <application-desc main-class="components.ButtonDemo"/>
    </jnlp> This JNLP, the mysplash.jpg, and the ButtonDemo.jar are deployed to the web server, under a "buttondemo" subdirectory of the web server's DocumentRoot.
    If I access the JNLP from a browser (https://justanexample.com/buttondemo/ButtonDemo.jnlp), things work as expected:
    The first time "Java Loading" appears.
    The mysplash.jpg is cached and can be seen in the Resource list with "javaws -viewer."
    During the second and subsequent launches, the custom splash screen appears as expected.
    However, if I have the JNLP file on my desktop, and I open it from there with a double-click, I never see the splash screen.
    My question: Why is this? Shouldn't I see the splash screen after the first launch, even if I launched by double-clicking the JNLP file on my desktop?
    Why I care:
    While I've shown the problem using ButtonDemo, I am having the same issue with my own application. I'd like to have an icon on the desktop the user can click. I do have it working, but using a workaround I consider fragile and perhaps inappropriate.
    I am using the 1.6.0_18-b07 version of the JRE on Vista SP2.
    Thanks in advance for any explanation/help.

    I couldn't get this to work. For the benefit of anyone needing something similar, here's what I did to work around it.
    At install time, my app already unpacked some config files into a known place under the user's home directory. So I now unpack a splash screen there, as well.
    The desktop shortcut tells javaws to skip it's splash screen with -Xnosplash, and then tells the JVM to use a local one (with the -J"splash:" argument). Something like this worked well enough:
    C:\Windows\System32\javaws.exe -J"-splash:C:\Users\whoever\appname\splash.jpg" -Xnosplash "C:\Users\whoever\appname\app.jnlp"

    Hi poiuytrew190,

  • Can't drag clips from clip pane to build movie

    The clips in the clip pane turn grey when clicked (or opaque...not blue) and can't be dragged into the clip viewer.
    I can select them, edit them in the clip pane, but can't drag them. Help!

    Close iMovie and delete its preference file. Go to your Home folder (YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist
    Drag this plist file to the trash. Note: If you have installed both iMovie 6 and iMovie 8/9, be sure to delete the appropriate plist file. The one for iMovie HD6 does not have a number; the one for iMovie 8/9 will look like com.apple.imovie7 (or 8). plist
    Reopen iMovie and see if it now works properly.

  • Upgraded to Firefox 29.0 (Mac) and can now no longer minimize browser window by double-clicking title bar. Please advise!

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 29.0 (Mac) and can now no longer my minimize browser window into the dock by double-clicking the title bar. I need to be able to use this feature. Please advise!

    I just upgraded to iTunes 8.0.1.11 too (XP) and am seeing the same behavior. The little mini controller in the taskbar no longer works. If you double click the icon in the system tray, you can restore the iTunes window.
    On the Advanced preferences tab, select both the "Show iTunes icon in system tray"
    and the "Minimize iTunes window to system tray" checkboxes. If only the "Show iTunes icon in system tray" is selected, you will not be able to restore the iTunes window and will have to use the task manager to kill iTunes.
    Hope this gets fixed, I found the task bar controller very handy for pausing/starting/volume control/etc.

  • Can not drag clips from events to a project

    Help!
    I create an event and import videos. I then select the section of videos I want (yellow box) and drag into a project.
    Nothing happens the clip is not put into my project.
    If i do the same but instead of trying to drag I push E the clips move into my project but do not show in the preview screen. The preview plays the videos in the events, the projects area has apparently become redundant.
    I have completely removed and re-installed imovie. Reimported new movies to test (from iphone) with no luck. Repaired permissions in disk utility. Problem still there!
    There are other threads with this problem but they seem pretty old, with no solution that has worked for me so thought it was best to start my own. I have a stack of footage waiting to be edited and really need to get this sorted quickly so any help, from anyone would be much appreciated.

    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    • iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    • Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
    • Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    • a codec is used that doesn't work
    • problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    • version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    • preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    • other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    • External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    • USB-flash-memories do not work
    • Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
    • iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
    This You do by
    _ close iPhoto
    _ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    _ now select all five options presented
    _ WAIT a long long time
    • free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    • external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    • GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    • Screen must be set to million-colors
    • Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    • Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    • Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    • Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    • In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • Can't drag image from browser into Artwork panel

    Hey all,
    This is on Snow Leopard, using the latest iTunes and Firefox versions.
    When a file (or group of files) lacks artwork, I often use Google Images, find the appropriate image, drag the image to the desktop, then drag the image from the desktop into the mp3 file's "Artwork" panel when you have "Get Info" opened--and then delete the file on the desktop. There's too many steps.
    Is there however some way to directly drag the image from Firefox directly into iTunes? And if not, is there some other easier way to add artwork?
    Thank you for any tips.

    Jolly Giant wrote:
    you can add artwork by going these routes:
    select them all in iTunes, +get info+, copy the image out of e.g. Safari or Preview, click once into the artwork box and paste the image into it.
    Oh! I like this method. Saves the step of having to place it somewhere on the hard drive and deleting it after. Thank you, Jolly Giant.

  • Why can't I drag clips from my source window to my program window on Premiere CS6?

    I am only able to drag clips from my source window to my timeline, but not to my program window. Anyone know what the problem might be?
    Also, the "insert" and "overwrite" buttons are not working from my source window, nor are their shortcuts ("," or "."). I think the problem with the insert and overwrite buttons is related to the reason I can't drag clips from my source window to my program window. Any advice on either problem would be much appreciated, thanks!

    Be sure the appropriate tracks are both targeted and routed.

  • Can I bring clips from the project timeline to an event library?

    Is there a way to bring clips from a project timeline to an event library? I have about 10 jobs that i have in fcp7 that if i can drag the cut up clips on a timeline into and event library it would probably make me switch over completely to FCPX

    You can only import cilps into an Event.  So it's a non-issue.
    You can't drag clips from an FCP 7 Sequence into an FCP X timeline, as far as I know.
    You'll want to purchase "7toX".  You can export your v.7 project as XML, translate it with 7toX, then import into v.X.

  • Unable to drag any clips from browser to anywhere

    I can no longer drag clips from my browser to viewer or time line. What gives? I did a search with no luck. This has got to be an easy one.

    Need more info.
    You say you can no longer drag the clips. Does that mean you have been successfully doing it for quite a long time?
    Trashing the preferences is the first thing to try when programs start misbehaving:-

  • Hi, I have a Iphone 4s and I have a problem because I can't change from one screen to another by dragging my finger, it does't respond, in addition to access to an icon I have to double click instead of one.

    I can't change from one screen to another by dragging my finger, it does't respond, in addition to access to an icon I have to double click instead of one.

    That's correct.  Unless you can magically unlock your 4S, you can't sync it.  It's broken.  Had you been using the phone properly, you would have been synching it frequently and would have had a recent backup from which to restore your iPhone 5.

  • Can't drag clip in expert without distortion of interface

    can't drag clip in expert without distortion of interface
    What's wrong?

    ARBY-77
    In what way are you distorting the interface in this task?
    Are you referring to media already placed on the Timeline being disturbed when you drag a file to the Timeline from Project Assets? Or, maybe audio file already on the Timeline breaking up when you drag a file from Project Assets to the Timeline?
    If so, please hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard as you drag the file in place on the Timeline.
    If other than the above, please supply additional information for us to help you.
    Thanks.

  • Can't drag songs from itunes onto anything (desktop, flash drive, etc.)

    This is weird.
    All of a sudden, I can't drag songs from itunes onto the desktop, any folder on my hard drive, my flash drive, or my spare hard drive. On a health computer, if you drag a large number of files, first they land as white icons and they fill in as they get transferred. With my computer, the white icons stick around for a few second and then disappear. The first time I try, I can transfer 1-10 files successfully. After that it stops working. Here is what I've done.
    1] Upgraded my system from 10.3.X to 10.4.5
    2] I upgraded itunes from 7.0 to 7.3.1
    Has anyone seen this before?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Jeff

    Since I can not edit my own post I'll have to reply to myself... Sorry for the "spam" on the forums.
    I DID find something out (while playing with this some more)...
    Try and copy as many songs as you can with UNIQUE titles. I've noticed that when you drag the songs in iTunes to the desktop (or a folder) the file it creates/copies is named like so: "songtitle.mp3."
    Apparently the Finder and iTunes don't play well together [enough] to prevent several files of the same name from appearing - in most OS's I've played with (Linux and Windows, in addition to other Apple & Mac OS's over the years) there's a mechanism for handling this... Windows just adds a number to the end the of the second (and all future occurring) file(s) of the same name - as does most Linux builds I've used... Apparently the Finder in OS X just doesn't do anything - at all - when it discovers this "name error."
    What I had to do (I was copying my Christmas music - do you know how many "Jingle Bells.mp3" files you can have?!) was make many folders or manually rename EACH FILE one by one so that others could be copied in the same place since the file name would always be JUST THE SONG NAME and the extension (and I do tend to keep my files in higher bitrate MP3 format for easier shuffling from OS to OS as I tend to use (in case you've not noticed) many different ones at any given time).
    So, try avoiding any songs with the same title (or altering the title in iTunes somehow), or make separate folders to keep the same song name files from being created in the same place; and see if that doesn't clear this problem up for you - it did for me. ^_^
    And sorry for being so "wordy" on this post. ^_^;
