Can't drag icons out of my dock

I can't drag files out of stacks (Downloads or Application folders) or app icons off my dock. I reset my SMC when I rebooted and it worked but then I reboot the next day (today) and it won't work anymore. Do I really have to reset SMC every time I boot up? I recently downgraded from Yosemite because it is incomplete and full of bugs and now I have this issue.
OS X: 10.9.5

For downloads, go to your user folder downloads and remove them there. Same for Applications. To remove alias from the Dock hold down the command key while dragging them from the Dock.
If that does't work, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. Then try a Dock reset.
Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.
Then try a dock reset.
Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

I scanned some black and white negatives into my computer (iMac) where they were stored aas positives on the hard disc. When I import them to iPhoto they turn back into negatives. How do I change them into positives for printing?

I have scanned some black and white negatives into my computer(iMac) where they are stored on the hard disc as positives.When I import them into iPhoto to print they turn back into negatives.How do I turn them back into positives?

That's because you scanned them as B/W photos and iPhoto 08 doesn't support the grayscale color profile. You can either rescan them as color photos or export them as originals out of iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and applhy this Automator application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB Profile, on them and then remimport into iPhoto. You can download it from Toad's Cellar . Be sure to read the warning on the website about not applying it on your only copies.

We are trying to close caption our telecasts. We get the captioning files done out of house, pull them back into Premiere, and then embed them. The TV station requires .mxf files with the file embedded as a 708 stream, to play on their Grass Valley K2 vid

We are trying to close caption our telecasts. We get the captioning files done out of house, pull them back into Premiere, and then embed them. The TV station requires .mxf files with the file embedded as a 708 stream, to play on their Grass Valley K2 video servers. We have tried multiple scenarios and cannot get the captions to display.
Whenever I export, it becomes a 608 stream, and will not play on their servers.

Hello there,
I'm sorry to hear you are having a problem. Thank you for taking the time to post here.
Here are some questions:
1. What version of PPRO are you using? MAC or WIN?
2. Is the caption data you are embedding a 708 caption stream?
3. When you re-import the MXF with captioning embedded back into PPRO, does it show 708 closed captions in PPRO?
PPRO will embed 708 caption streams to MXF -- I just did this, re-imported the embedded MXF to PPRO, and I see the captions in the MXF.
If you could share one of your files with me, I could take a look.
Take care and thanks again,
CM

Can't drag items into finder's sidebar

After upgrading to OS X.6.7, I am no longer able to drag items into the sidebar in the finder window on my iMac. I drag the items into the space under 'PLACES,' but nothing happens.
I've read that it's necessary to hold down CMD when dragging an item from the sidebar to remove it, but haven't seen anything on how to add an item. Any advice?

Holding CMD is only necessary to remove it. To add it, just drag it over and don't let go until you see the horizontal line placement bar. It's easy to drop it into a folder there rather then the sidebar.

Can't drag files out of the dock folders/stacks

On Mavericks I'm able to drag files out of the folders/stacks I have on the Dock (Downloads, Documents, etc.) just as you would anywhere on OSX. But, for some reason my mom (Mavericks) and my fiancee (Mountain Lion) can't. I've tried checkin the permissions for those folders (in Get Info) and they have read/write permissions. This only happens in list view, not in fan, grid or automatic. Is there some hidden setting or something else that would allow them to be able to drag files?

For downloads, go to your user folder downloads and remove them there. Same for Applications. To remove alias from the Dock hold down the command key while dragging them from the Dock.
If that does't work, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. Then try a Dock reset.

Can't drag items from desktop to Captivate 6.1 64bit

I updated from Captivate 6.0.1 to 6.1 (both 64 bit) and can no longer drag items from the desktop or Adobe Bridge to a Captivate project. I reinstalled 6.0.1 and could. Again updated to 6.1 and again could not. The Import to library button and the import PhotoShop menu items work fine.
Any ideas?

Hi There,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
We have checked that in a local user account we can drag items from the desktop in Captivate 6.0.1 but not in Captivate 6.1.
After logon to the built in administrator account of the computer you can drag items in Captivate 6.1 also. It is because of the permission, now dragging requires all kind of permissions on the computer.
Thanks

Video/Audio out of sync / stutters at start and then jumps back into sync.

Everything appears fine in the Simulator and when played in the computer. However I have noticed on 2 different DVD Players that when the video starts the audio is out of sync for about the first 20 sec or so and then slides back into sync for the remainder. Seems to sort of lag.
I am exporting NTSC videos out of FCP and encoding via Compressor. I am using the Compressor presets (usually 120 min Fastest Encode).
Anyone see this before?

Fixed. There was 5 sec video clip that plays before the main video in the track. However, the 5 sec clip was video only, not audio, and was as a .mov as opposed to mpeg2. Anyways I encoded the 5sec clip in mpeg2/AAC and added it before the main clips and everything works. Still don't know WHY it happened and why it stuttered, any ideas? Don't think it was the lack of black at the start as i didn't add any.

Hi. I recently backed up using iCloud (normally backup to my computer), now I have lost a heap of contacts. Can anyone help me out with where they've gone? Thanks :)

Hi. I live in New Zealand, and have an iphone 5s. I normally backup to My Computer, as I have alot of photos and videos on my iphone, and icloud only gives 5GB free. In order to fit everything on my phone, I would most likely need the 50GB one, which costs $125 over here. The other day a friend told me I should backup to icloud. So I did. Then yesterday I noticed that she txt me, and it came up with her number, not her name. I thought there was a problem with her phone. But last night I was going through my Contacts list, and I see there is a heap of them missing. I also changed my password on my Yahoo! email account the other day, but I done that on my laptop. So when I went to my settings on my iphone, I just deleted the password and typed in the new one, the emails and everything all came up fine. So I don't think that is the problem. I have read other questions on here and on Google, where they say to go to yr Contacts, and to Groups, untick them all, and tick them again. I have done this, and still they don't come back. Mine Groups appear in the following order: ICLOUD - All iCloud; FACEBOOK - All Facebook; YAHOO! - All Yahoo!. Yahoo! is my primary email account. I have also turned the wifi off on my iphone, then turned the iphone off. Then turned them both back on, this still doesn't work. Yet when I go to my email account on my laptop, that still has all the contacts. "All Yahoo!" is ticked on my iphone, so I don't know why it isnt syncing them to my iphone. I won't be backing up to icloud again. I have now installed an app called My Contents Backup Pro that someone on here mentioned. Wish I'd known about it earlier. Hope someone can help. Thanks

Have you tried the line inputs on the back of your FirePod? If you update its firmware (not sure if you will need to or not), I seem to remember hearing that the FirePod can run without FW connection, i.e. stand alone. In this mode with the outs from your mixer into line ins 1-2 (2nd from left on the back) it should work fine. I say should because I have never tried. However, these are used for returns from an external effects unit. I assume here, and the important word is assume, that there are two so that they can be used as a stereo send or as a mono send. Worth a try! Let us know how it goes.
Best, Fred

Can't drag songs out of iTunes

So I'm trying to copy all the songs from a playlist to a flash drive. I select all the tracks in iTunes 11 (Windows), then drag them to my flash drive. Nothing happens. I try the same thing using a desktop folder as the destination. Nothing.
If I drag *one* track, it copies just fine. But if I try to do more than one, it flat-out doesn't work.
Help!!!

Can't drag item

Hi,
There is a screenshot of my project above. I'm trying to drag the rectangle, but i cant. Can somebody you tell me where i am mistaking? Btw, i'm trying to drag with this plugin: touchpunch.furf.com

Thank you resdesign. But i think your sample is not "simple" Look at all that code!:
// set up the droppable to accept each draggables
for (i=0;i<droppableEl.length;i++){
          sym.$(draggableEl[i]).addClass('C'+i);
          sym.$('.C'+i).draggable({
          revert: 'invalid'
If you dont mind, can you show me an really basic example with jquery plugin on touchpunch.furf.com ? Or can you basically make draggable my rectangle on the screenshot above? Or can you tell me what mistake i am doing with my example?

After my most recent update I have lost copy paste functions and can't drag items - please help

I am unsure how to tell which update it is,but I cant use copy and paste functions and my openoffice has corrupted - reinstalling it did not help. I can also not drag/drop

I think this is a Java problem. I went to Firefox and Mozilla home page and checked to see that my plug ins were up to date. Firefox said it had turned off my Java because it was not up to date. When I went to the Java page to update it, it only said Mac has its own Java updates and suggested I update through Apple. Unfortunately, when I checked to see if Apple has any updates for my Java, there weren't any.
After seeing that, I went to the link it had for "upgrade to the latest version" and this is what Java says:
I guess I will look for Java help on the support pages here and see if anyone has any info.

Can't drag objects out of Spotlight?

I thought it would Just Work if I had a file chooser dialog open, say if I were uploading a file from Safari, and I looked up the file I wanted in Spotlight and dragged it into the file chooser. No go. I'm surprised; isn't this something it obviously should do? Are there any plans to make it happen?

This is a user to user forum. What may happen in the future is not something to which someone here would have an answer.
If you want to have Mac OS X engineers know about you idea, send them some feedback.

Can't drag and drop apps and ringtones from itunes into the iphone.

I'm sure it's something that I have to enable in itunes or the iphone, but I can't seem to drag and drop my apps or ringtones from itunes. This started when I got a replacement phone from my provider. I can't transfer them on my itunes. I get a block icon when I try to drag and drop. So the only way to get all the apps back is by re-downloading on the phone itself, but some apps are huge and I wouldn't want to do that. All the apps I backed up and even new ones I purchased can't seem to transfer. I tried deauthorizing and authorizing, re-downloading apps, syncing. So far nothing. Any tips?

Thanks for trying but your answer is incorrect, according to an email I received today from HP Connected:
"I have reviewed your email. I understand that you have questions related to rearranging the order of the apps on the printer. I know this can be frustrating, and I want you to know you're certainly valuable to us and I want to do everything possible to ensure your complete satisfaction. The following information should provide the answers you need:
1) Unfortunately when HP launched the new website (www.hpconnected.com) they did not include a method of rearranging the apps on the printer. They may include this feature in a future update, however as this time it is not available.
2) If you have made the upgrade from eprintcenter to HP Connected you do not have the option of returning. Eprintcenter is in the process of being eliminated and unfortunately retuning to the old site is not possible."
I hope <<S-O-O-N>> HP fixes this new website -- it's crazy to take away any controls like this from their customers and not either embellish them or at least leave them be.
I may take this 7610 OJ back for a new Brother 11x17 all-in-one --- they look nice )
