Can't drag text

This must be the simplest process in iDVD. I am at the beginning, making the main menu. The Help guide says:
1.Choose Project > Add Text. The phrase "Click to edit" appears on the menu.
2.Double-click the text to select it, and type the new text.
3.Drag the text to place it where you want it.
Just like I thought it should be, pure and simple. But the drag only results in highlighted text; nothing moves. I tried grabbing the borders of the text box but nothing moves. Is this just too simple for me to figure out? How do you drag text?

You know, I already had tried that about 17 times. There is no hand cursor. But I found out what is needed by myself. You have to go to the Media tab and drag the movie project into the menu window. That activates the ability to move the menu items! Grrrr... Hey, Apple! Add that step to the Help guide list. Now I will search to see if anyone else has already posted the question of how how to get a "Return to main menu" button.

  • Can't Drag Text from Terminal Window to Mail

    I can drag and drop text from Mail to the Terminal window but not the other way around. I can drag text from Terminal to Word but not Mail. Is there a setting I have wrong somewhere?

    Do we know if this is in the plasn for 10.5? It just seems like one Apple app to another Apple app should be abel to drag and drop text. It does work from Mail to Terminal... I can always copy and paste the text but it just gnaws away at me I guess.

  • Can't drag text files into my iPod

    I've seen that usualy below the iPod icon on the left side of the window of itunes, it use to appear "90's" "most popular music", something like that (some sort of playlists), but now it only appearas the little iPod image with nothing below (unless I create a Playlist). So there's nowhere I can drag my text files (Help says I should drag them into the "Notes" folder, but id doesn't appear there!)
    What can I do??

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First you have to enable your iPod for disk use. Go into Edit-->preferences and hit the iPod tab. Then check enable disk use. Click ok.
    Now go into My Computer and find the drive representing the iPod. Open that. This is where the notes folder is.

  • Can't drag text boxes

    When I try to drag a text box it automatically looks like I'm holding down the alt key and thus makes a copy of the object.

    I mean when I try to move the text box object. Sorry for the long delay, but I believe this fixed itself in the last update.

  • Why can't i drag text/link to the tab bar and have it open a new tab?

    Whenever i drag highlighted text, drag a URL, or drag a link to an image/video to the tab bar nothing happens. Previously FF would open this as a new tab, but i can't seem to find out what is wrong.

    ''in Chrome you can drag a text to a new tab and Google(or your default search engine) gives you the search results of that text in that new tab''
    ''Sometimes it works, sometimes it randomly opens a nonexistent .com-less url or appends .com for no reason.''
    Nothing happens when I drag text and drop it on a tab or the new tab button. Do you need to wait for the tab to display and then drop it on the address bar?
    Two alternatives might be:
    (1) Right-click selected text, then choose Search Google for... to open a search in a new tab
    (2) Hold the Alt key while dragging and dropping the selected text onto the search box/search bar to open a search in a new tab

  • I drag text to desktop and am unable to print. Can someone clue me in?

    sorry for such an ignorant question.
    When I drag text from the net, to desktop...I am unable to alter it. Is it in pdf format now?
    How do I edit, print, etc. these words?

    Hello,
    Those are clippings. They cannot be altered or printed in the format that they are in. Basically, it is useful for just storing the equivalent of a sticky note.
    To edit them or print them, you need to drag them into a word processor or text editor. Then you can edit or print them.
    I use them quite a bit to save on typing things that I re-enter a lot. I have a clipping of something that I always say or use in it's exact same form, and then I just drag that clipping to my document when I want it. It can save me typing the same paragraph over and over again. And, it's already exactly as I want it.
    It's a very useful feature. But, it is limited to serving it's one task. Storing text for quick insertion somewhere else (or for quick reference).
    I hope this helps.
    Let us know if you have other questions.

  • Safari 5.1.x bug? Can't scroll down while dragging text.

    I'm new to Safari. Formerly I was a Firefox user.
    Usually, when dragging down text, and the cursor reaches the end of the displayed screen, it automatically scrolls down as long as the user is dragging down the text by mouse or trackpad.
    However, I recently found out, Safari 5.1.x doesn't work that way.
    Dragging text up works as I expected, but dragging down doesn't. This is why I believe this is a bug.
    I made a YouTube video showing this behavior.
    http://youtu.be/SF7P-gRng00
    Any idea?

    Hi...
    Not sure what's causing this but you can report bugs to Apple from your Safari menu bar. Safari > Report Bugs to Apple.
    And try deleting the cache associated with Safari. Seems to do a more thorough job then emptying the cache from the Safari GUI.
    Quit Safari.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Launch Safari to test.

  • How can I adjust text size in ibooks dictionary?

    How can I adjust text size in ibooks dictionary?

    Hello Eoradec2012,
    It sounds like you are using the Define function in iBooks and you are wanting to increase the size of the font on the page showing the definition. The size of that text can be controlled in the Text Size section:
    To adjust the font size, follow these steps:
    Go to Settings > General > Text Size.
    Drag the slider to the preferred size. The text on the screen will adjust as you move the slider.
    iOS: Adjusting the font

  • How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

    How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

    jhb3243
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    In the case of this theoretical lower third to be applied to more than one title at a time
    a. Is there text in the lower third besides a graphic of some kind?
    b. Are all the titles to which this lower third is to be applied all together on the Timeline or scattered?
    If no text in lower third and titles all together, then, with text titles on Video 1 and lower third on Video 2, drag out the lower third to cover the length of the text titles on Video 1.
    I do not find "lower third" title files to be in the same category as certain effects where the Copy and "Paste Attributes" or "Paste Effects and Adjustments" lend themselves so well.
    Let us see what others have to say about all this. I will continue to experiment with what you seek and how you would prefer to get there. I am not optimistic but I will try.
    Thanks.

  • Photosho CS Problem - Can't drag a layer set from one document to another one

    I have two documents open
    On the source document, i want to drag a layer set from this document to a new one, but its not letting me
    What would cause this.
    My structure for the source document is
    >Set 1 Layer Set
         >layer
         > Adjustment Layer
         >background
    Background
    Structure of the target document
    >Named Layer Set
         > Where I want to insert the Layer Set from source document
         >layer
         > Adjustment Layer
         >background
    Background

    No error message is given. I just can't drag it into the spot I want to drag the layer set to (its not an individual layer, its a layer set)
    Basically, this is all I can do (have to do a correction on how the layers and layer sets work, missing one level from the original post):
    I've attached images as well to illustrate
    On my target document, I want to have the layer set go where the red text is:
    >Content Layer Set
         >Named Layer Set
              > Where I want to insert the Layer Set from source document (Set 1)
              >layer
              > Adjustment Layer
              >background
    Background
    right now, I can only drag the layer set to this position:
    >Content Layer Set
          > This is where the Set 1 from the source document can go, I can't drag it into the layer set below
         >Named Layer Set
              >layer
              > Adjustment Layer
              >background
    Background
    First Image I attached shows the Set 1 Layer Set, above the layer set I want to drag it into
    Second Image I attached shows what happens when I try to drag the layer set into the named layer set; it comes up with the "no symbol"
    No Error message is given

  • Can't drag and drop after update

    can't drag and drop after update

    hi Dustin, maybe with a bit more info someone will be able to help with this:
    what Mac OS System version are you using?
    what is it you are 'dragging and dropping'? : Is this drag and drop of text in InDesign? Or are you dragging and dropping from the Mac OS (e.g. a file from a folder) into InDesign?
    If you are referring to drag and drop from OS into InDesign: I'm thinking this 'might' be a Mac OSX issue. If you look over at https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa there seem to be plenty of issues with drag and drop across different OS versions.
    Next time it stops working whilst you are in InDesign, does it still work in other programs? That is one way of determining if this is caused by InDesign or the operating system. If it is the OS, my guess is that it stops working in other applicaitons as well.
    Hope this helps,

  • Can't drag video into timeline premiere cc

    Been working with PP CC since it came out and have had almost no problems. Now I have a head scratcher. I can't drag a video clip from the project panel to the sequence. The audio comes but the video won't. All I get is the close hand with a line through it when I hover over any of the video tracks. The clips play fine in the source monitor but still cant drag it from source to sequence either. Tried this with clips from several projects and cameras but no go. Started a new project, different name, folder and footage, still have the problem.
    [Text formatting corrected.]

  • 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...

  • Photo problems and can i drag and drop files using windows explorer?

    i can only sync photos frm my com to my touch but i cant choose which photos i want and i tried searching for the files in itunes and i cant find them, thus cant delete them...
    on top of that, i can access the files in my touch but cant find any option to delete them...
    when i go the photos tab in itunes, it only shows me the window to sync files and the 2nd question too...
    because when i drag and drop on itunes, it's quite laggy...and if i use windows explorer to drag and drop, will the duplicates on my playlist appear as 2 files or will it be like itunes where it can detect the main file and simply adds it to the list?
    thank you...
    sorry for the wall of text...

    There's no manual mode for photos just different ways to sync but here's a simple "How To" on managing your photos so that it's easy to add and delete what you want on the iPod:
    1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
    2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
    2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
    3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
    4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
    5 When you want to change what photos are on the iPod just add or remove the photos from the folder you have made and syncronise the the iPod
    You can't drag photos or music to the iPod from Windows Explorer, you have to add content through iTunes or you'll not be able to view or play it.
