Can't move items in Indesign with Mouse anymore

Regarding Indesign CS5.5 I have the problem I have seen posted about suddenly not being able to move selections/objects/text boxes/pictures or even slide pictures from Bridge to pasteboard with the mouse. I have already reset preferences with key stroke reboot, and it did not help. Running Windows 7 but I cannot find the file to manually trash or rename as my data tree does not match your instructions. Said I do not have admin rights, but I do. I had a Java upgrade this morning could that be it?

I have the same problem with my inDesign at work. I am using a mac. I already reset the preferences (many times), I did restart my computer also several times.
Everytime after the restart of the computer (and before resetting the preferences) it worked for some minutes. But then again it suddenly stopped while working in an InDesign file (I tested different files).
At the end I uninstalled InDesign and installed it again. Directly after the new install it doesn't work.
So I have no idea anymore what to do now. I could restart my computer and work for 10 minutes and restart it again, but that needs way too much time.
any idea?

Can't move items to trash.

I can't move items to my trash can on my desktop. I have to right click and click on "move to trash" then I am promted for my password before the item is trashed.

Is this Trash can really on the Desktop, or the one in the Dock?

Can I move ninety video files with their keyword tags from 'My Catalogue' into another catalogue?

Can I move ninety video files with their keyword tags from 'My Catalogue' into a another catalogue?

Two problems :
1 - You can't merge catalogs in PSE
2 - The usual workaround is to 'write metadata to files', export the files and 'get' them into the other catalog. But you can't write metadata to files with video files.
The only thing you could do would be to duplicate the catalog and delete all pictures other than your ninety videos...

How can I move items from my Nano to my computer?

I hate the new iTunes. It used to show what my iPod Nano Gen 6 had in the library and I could easily move items in and out, but now all I can do is add items to the iPod, but not remove.

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

After update to 10.8.3 not possible to move items on desktop wit mouse

Hi,
I have just updated from os X 10.6.8 to 10.8.3 (working on a Macbook Pro 15" from 2011)
The first issue I'm having is that I don't seem to be able to move items on my desktop or in my finder windows.
What happens is this (on the desktop): I click on an item, it is highlighted, I can then drag it to another place, but it doesn't release from the tip of my mouse-arrow, so it's impossible to 'drop' it to its new place on the desktop. The same happens when I try to move items in my finder from one location to the next: on clicking on the item (i.e. a word-doc) it is highlighted. If I then keep the mousebutton down to drag the item to another place and release, the item doesn't release...
HELP?!
Thanks for your help.

Please try this:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

How can I move or delete files with PL-SQL???

I have Oracle 9i and Sun Solaris 5.8
I have a table (TABLE_FILENAME) with the files name in one directory. (I read the files name in a directory and put it in a table). I charge some files with external tables and then I have to move some fields to another directory and delete others files.
How can I delete files with PL-SQL and How can I move files with PL-SQL?
I have the names of files and the actions (Delete o Move) in a table (TABLE_FILENAME) (The files in this table are dynamics).

If you're using 9i then you will find that the new functions UTL_FILE.FCOPY and UTL_FILE.FREMOVE will allow you to do what you want. Check out the documentation for more details.

Lost ability to move items between spaces with gestures after 10.7 download. Setting issue or glitch?

I downloaded OSX 10.7.2 like the rest of the world and besides icloud conversion issues I noticed that I could not move items (files, jpg's, etc.,) from one "Space" (desktop) to another. I've gone through all the "gesture" settings in the System prefs and there's nothing to do with it. Using the key fuctions (Control + 1, 2, 3) still allows for moving objects while you have it selected, however if you select any object with the trackpad no gestures work. Anyone else seen this issue? Is there a setting that I've missed?

I have absolutely the same problem since the last update. However I really think it is a glitch, because after stubbornly trying dragging a file while using the multi gestures I discovered the following:
• It works only if you grab the file in the moment you use the multi gesture. It’s like a cat and mice game :D, I wouldn’t say it is a workaround, but just a proof that probably they will fix it.

Calendar app on Mavericks: Can't move or delete appointments with Gmail account

I use Google Apps for Business with the Apple Calendar app on Mavericks. When I try to move an appointment or delete it the app reverse the action - almost like an Undo. So in the Calendar app I can't move appointments nor can I delete them. I can add them, no prob.
Calendar app version is 7.0 (1835)
Sincerely,
Alex

Eleanor,
Just had another look into this, and when I migrated my old system across to the new iMac, the migration assistant apparently setup another account for me - I thought it would just bring across the files & applications I needed to see my new iMac's account the same as my old Powerbook, only running OSX 10.5!
Not so, must have missed this bit in the instructions, I now have two user accounts on my new machine - my new account and the one from my old Powerbook. No real problems so far . . . . ! So once I'd found this, I went into the old account (new iMac) and tried to delete some of the files in Mail. Guess what - No problems at all! All works perfectly.
This is really strange. I might have to start all over again, and do a re-install, using migration assistant from the old PB, and use the old account instead of a new one on my new iMac!
Had a few other problems with permissions etc., maybe a re-install of the OS (10.5) would cure all of this!
Any other input greatly appreciated before I take this rather drastic step!
Cheers,
Steve

Can't move items from one box to another

I have set up a separate mailbox for a certain list with some rules to sort new mail to this box. However, there are from the past a number of incoming items in my Inbox which are not sorted to this new box and I want to move them manually. Usually I can just select the items and drag them to the desired mailbox, but in this case I have selected the items and when I drag them to the new mailbox they just spring back. In other words they can't be moved. What can be happening? It worked before and doesn't work now. Help?

I solved my own problem. Sorry I can't take it down. I did a dumb thing and got confused about which box was in the foreground at the time. Duh! Oh well...thanx anyway.

Can only move items in 1/4 inch steps??

Hi folks - first off just want to share the fact that Reports Builder can sometimes be one of the most annoying pieces of software I've ever used. :o)
With that in mind.. I'm trying to edit an existing report, just need to swap some fields round, however when I pick up and drag the fields around (confine & flex both off), the items only move in quarter-inch chunks, ie. I can't accurately reposition the items.
If I create a new dummy report, draw a box on it and try moving it round, it's fine.
There's obviously a property somewhere in the problem report that I'm missing, I'm sure it's something very simple, I do recall in the back of my mind coming across this before a few years back but it's late in the day now and I honestly can't remember what it is.
Does anyone have any ideas???
thanks in advance. :o)

Can't move big files also with Mac OS Extended Journaled!

Hi all =)
This time I can't really understand.
I'm trying to move a big file (an app 9 GB large) from my macbook app folder to an external USB drive HFS+ formatted, but at about 5.5 GB the process stop and I get this error:
"The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "application.app" can't be read or written. (error code -36)"
Tried to search for this error code over the internet with no results.
Tried the transfer of the same file to a different drive (which is also HFS) but I still get the same error code.
Both drives have plenty of available free space.
Tried also different USB cables.
The app in subject has just been fully downloaded with no error from the app store.
What should I try now? Please any suggestion welcome.. this situation it's so frustrating!
Thanks

The Applications folder is a System folder and there are restrictions on it. I'm not sure why you are trying to copy an App out of it to an external drive. Try copying it to a folder on the ROOT of the internal drive first, a folder you create using a Admin account, and then copying that to the external.
Thanks a lot LowLust, you actually solved my situation!
But apparently in this "forum" you can't cancel the choosen answer if by mistake you clicked on the wrong one and you can't edit your messages and you even can't delete your messages... such a freedom downhere, jeez!

Can't move items in timeline PPCC

When I attempt to move audio clips in my timeline, I'm finding that I'm not allowed to. For example, audio 1 contains an audio clip. Its placed in the middle of the timeline and I'm trying to sync it up to the video. The timeline will not allow me to move this item unless I zoom all the way out. Sometimes I have to try and drag it to create a new track before I can move it. Half the time this doesn't work either. Now, this is happening on all of my sequences and I have about 30 to do.

I don't have any answers for you, but you have company: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5930692#5930692.

Can't Move Items to iCloud Calendar

I'm running Office 2013, and today I started receiving errors when I'd try to drag an item from a different calendar in Outlook to my iCloud calendar. I've done this before with several hundred items (large family, I get in make sure everyone has what they need on their calendar). So, today the error I received was
"Cannot copy the items. Failed to INSERT Message in Z1Cache: near "#IND": syntax error. SQL INSERT INTO IPM.Appointment" and then a ton of numbers.
At first I just disconnected my account from iCloud, restarted the computer, restarted Outlook clean, then reconnected my iCloud account. That didn't help, so I uninstalled iCloud all together, reboot, opened Outlook, closed Outlook, cleaned my Apple folders in AppData, reboot, then downloaded a new copy of iCloud and installed it. Lo and behold the I got the error again.
Any ideas what I can do to get rid of this?

Hello nicolefromwinterthur,
The article below may help explain how Microsoft Outlook calendars appear on your computer and iOS device. Are you making your new entries in the iCloud calendar on your PC ?(see pink highlight in the image below). I've highlighted the information about Outlook Calendar for you. Click on the link for complete details.
iCloud: Microsoft Exchange behavior with iCloud - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-za/HT202375
Microsoft Outlook Calendar: Outlook also displays iCloud and Exchange data separately. Exchange data typically appears within the My Calendars section, as in the example below with Calendar under My Calendars.
Outlook has a descriptive note about which collection your calendars belong to next to the Calendar title in the left panel of Outlook. Your local Outlook data (that is, data not belonging to either iCloud or Exchange) also appears within the My Calendars section of Outlook. Local Outlook data will have the description Outlook Data File next to the calendar title, while Exchange data will have your Exchange email address or account name next to the Calendar title. iCloud calendars have iCloud next to the calendar title, and appear in the iCloud section of Outlook Calendar instead of the My Calendars section.
Cheers,
- Judy

HT4847 How can I move items from iCloud to my PC?

I keep on getting messages that my iCloud storage is full. So I wanted to log into my iCloud and move files out of it and onto my harddrive. I can't find a way to do that. So far I manually move my information from my phone to my PC to clear up iCloud backup space. But this seems stupid - what is the point of iCloud if I can't access it?

I just went to icloud-contacts- OFF. It asks if I want to keep my contacts on the phone and I said yes.
Thanks so much. Saved me a ton of time.
One thing I noticed though is for my name, it used to have an image of a person. That is gone now on my phone but on my computer. Is that only in iCloud?
