Can't drag image onto stage in new layer, from the library?

For a text book assignment we have to make a new layer and then drag a image from the library panel onto the stage but it won't let me? The new layer doesn't look the same as the rest in the timeline panel too.

Hi,
Thank you for your advice, but sadly it isn't locked. I can drag an image onto a layer already there just not a new layer for some reason. I'm behind in class because of this issue but I'm at a loss. I know how to take a screen shot but how do I add it to here, I pasted it in microsoft word but it wouldn't allow me to upload it as a image...

Could not make a new layer from the selection because the selected area is empty

I have Photoshop CS5 and I'm trying to do a selection on a new layer and when I copy it this message appears: "could not make a new layer from the selection because the selected area is empty"..
The new layer is selected, no other layer is selected. What the hell am I doing wrong???....Yes I'm a beginner.. ....please help?

Hi There,
So just to clarify you have made a new blank layer, made a selection on that layer and then done a Layer > New > Layer via Copy (or cmd J).
The reason that you would get this error message is you have made a selection on a blank layer (effectively selecting nothing) and tried to duplicate it and Photoshop won't let you do that.
When doing New Layer via Copy or New Layer via cut you selection needs to include some painted (coloured) pixels.
Regards
Paul
PS. Maybe you could explain what you are trying to achieve by copying the layer and I could help a little more.

Can I load songs onto my ipod nano (7G) from the cloud without downloading it to my PC?

I just bought a 7G nano. All of my songs are in the cloud. My computer has little space for my large collection of music, podcasts, and videos. I just bought a couple of albums and they went directly to my ipod when I synced. The rest of my library, however, was left in the cloud and didn't make it to my ipod. The only way I can tell to transfer my music from the cloud to my ipod is to download it from the cloud to my PC. Is there a way to bypass my PC and go directly to my ipod?

You will need that library copied from the old computer. If not, then you can take a look at this in getting 3rd party software to recover your library from the iPod. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

If I get a new computer, can I download my music to that new computer from the cloud via iTunes match?

I just bought a new computer and was wondering if i authorize it, will it be able to download the songs I own if they're uploaded on itunes match. Thanks all.

If you call around, you might be able to find an apple authorized repair shop in your area that can offer to put pull the hard dive out of the old computer and put it into an external hard drive.

I have added a folder incorrectly and now have a duplicate of all my music in itunes. can I easily tell itunes to remove a folder from the library ?

I added a folder to iTunes when adding some music - sadly it was my backup folder and now I have duplicates of everything in iTunes !
Is it possible to "un-add" the folder so that I get back to only one copy of the files ? I have 70Gb of music so there is no way I can do it manually and putting music on shuffle to avoid repeat tracks is going to get tedious !
Thanks
Mark

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and copes sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

HT1386 ipod syncs but doesnt update new songs from the library to the ipod

I had problems syncing my ipod touch, a message appeared on the computer, which said the itunes program was corrupted/damaged so it advised to reinstall itunes, which i did. This wiped my library from the computer. When i connected the ipod to the computer it said it is was syncing, but no data got transfered either from the ipod to the computer or visa versa. My ipod still retains its songs/apps etc.

160gb classic won't sync after adding a new album to the library..'sync' lettering in devices is not highlighted

All was fine until i bought two new albums and tried to sync them today. They appear along with artwork in the library but the 'sync' lettering in 'devices' isn't highlighted and syncing simply does not take place.
I had to re-install Norton anti-virus software today but otherwise cannot think of any possible explanation for the lack of response.
Ipod is close to being full but i think i have enough space left...i can't delete any albums now anyway..except from the library.
I have re-installed i-tunes.
Help gratefully welcomed

Ok I've got some additional info. If I reload the offending videos into itunes as Movies rather than TV shows then the'll load onto my iPod. Anyone know why my iPod would let me load it with a movie but not let me load it after the exact same video is changes to a tv show? Someone has GOT to know something. Please people please!

I just backed up my photos by copying my iPhoto Library onto an external drive. Now the Library on my MacBook won't open. I can only open the photos if the external is plugged in. How can I resolve this issue?

Exactly what did you do?
The correct steps are
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
My guess is that that you have not switched iphoto to use the external drive yet - opttion launch and select libary

Is there a way to make a new layer from a selection simply by dragging?

I recently watched a video of an artist working and I swear it looks like he made a lasso selection on a smart object layer, dragged the selection, and instantly created a new layer of the selection alone. He did this successively to sample parts of an image for later usage. I can't figure out for the life of me how he was doing it and I can't find anywhere that PS has this ability. For one, lassoing an area of a smart object doesn't allow me to duplicate that selection, PS acts like I want to duplicate the entire image, if I hold down the ALT key. Also, if I try to make a duplicate of a selection with a non-smart object layer I can duplicate the selection via dragging by holding ALT, but the duplicate is still on the same layer as the original object, which is NOT what I want. I know how to use copy/paste, so PLEASE do not suggest that I do this, OR use the CTRL+J feature. I'm simply trying to figure out what this person is doing. If this makes no sense I can provide a link to the video...

Maybe you missed him doing the copy paste because he used the short cuts Ctrl+C Ctrl+V which would not be seen in a video. It would look like a drag in a video....

For some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store.

for some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store. my old iphone 4s audio jack was messed up but i just got a new one with my warranty , can anyone help me please.

It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

I just got a new macbook. Is there any way I can transfer pictures or music to this new mac from my old one?

I just got a new macbook. Is there any way I can transfer pictures or music to this new mac from my old one?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There are different ways to transfer your data from another Mac, but as you just want to transfer pictures and music, the best way is to use an external drive. You can also connect them with a Thunderbolt or FireWire cable, but you need specific Macs to do it, so I prefer the external drive method.
You just have to get an external drive and plug it to the old Mac. Then, open Finder, navigate to the folders with your pictures and music, and drag them to the external drive in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices".
Then, connect the external drive to the new Mac and you will see the external drive in the Finder sidebar after opening a Finder window, so choose it. Then, just copy the pictures and music to the folder you want, for example, Music or Pictures

Randomly generating movieClips from the library onto the stage

Hi
I am trying to call objects from the library for a collection game.
Having major issues with the best way to assign the good objects and the bad objects to later update a score.
Can anyone help me with how i can first assign the movieClips from the library into a good and bad array and then after randomally fill the stage with them.
Regards
James

again and always when testing in the ide, use the trace() function to debug your code:
public function checkCollisions()
                              for (var i:int = objects.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                                        if (Point.distance(new Point(gamesprite.car.x,gamesprite.car.y),new Point(objects[i].x,objects[i].y)) < pickupDistance)
                                                  if (objects[i].hitTestobjects(gamesprite.car))
                                                            if (objects[i].typestr == "good")
                                                                      score += 10;
                                                                      trace(score);
                                                            else
                                                                      score -= 4;
                                                                      trace(score);
                                                            if (score < 0)
                                                                      score = 0;
                                                            scoreDisplay.text = String(score);
trace(scoreDisplay.text);
                                                            removeChild(objects[i]);
                                                            objects.splice(i,1);
if you don't see any trace() output, you can conclude that part of your code is not executing. if see trace output, you can don't see the same value in scoreDisplay, you can conclude you're not seeing your scoreDisplay textfield.
