Cannot MOVE layers in PS cs5.1

1. How the hell do you change the language?????? Cannot change language !!!!!
very frustrating this forum. I am an American. I use English. The page loads Italian
because I am in Italy. I choose change the language to English at bottom
of page and nothing changes. WTF Adobe? Why not just read the language
of the browser and USE THAT LANGUAGE.
2. I cannot move layers in an open image with many layers. If I choose a layer
and try to move it, it snaps back to where it was. Anyone help me with this?
Don't even know if this will work because of the BROKEN LANGUAGE SELECTOR.
ADOBE get your act together somehow.

Well, this is not really a helpful answer.
I have a wacom tablet for example, and it has never
proved a problem.
I do have a few plug-ins but they have never been a problem
also, ealier the same file worked fine and nothing
has been added or changed to PS since the beginning
of the week.
On the second restart the computer, I was running only PS on the machine
with same result. I have had PS do strange things sometimes and
were fixed with a restart.
That is a lot of points to consider, I guess the key being
"interfere with mouse events".
I will go ahead and move out some plugin and try
some of your suggestions but it seems overly broad to me.
I was hoping that some control setting I have overlooked
might be the cause, but your reply seems to not favor this idea.
Of course I could wipe my hard disk drive and reinstall everything
but it seems a situation only related to the move tool and
moving layers.....

I cannot move layers in Muse 2014.2. I am on a Mac

I cannot move layers in Muse 2014.2. I am on a Mac.

Hello,
Hopefully closing Muse and relaunching will fix the problem. If it do not fix it then please reset its preference and that should fix the issue.
Steps to reset preferences are mentioned below.
1) Quit Muse.
2) Go to desktop > click on Go > "Go to folder"
3) Type "~/library" without the quotes and press Return.
4) Go to folder named "Preferences"
5) Go to folder named "com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.2" to "com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.2.old"
7) Re-launch Muse.

Help!!!! I cannot move layers

Am useing a PC. Have Photoshop CS5, suddenly cannot move Raw files from bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop. Jpeg move into photoshop ok, did get error message 1 what do I do to correct this om bridge (or anywhere else for that matter)

Useing a PC
Have Photoshop CS5
Suddenly cannot move Raw Files from Bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop.
I Can move Jpegs into ps the only issue is with Raw files
I did get error1 message but as do not know what that means its no help
any suggestions?

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Cannot Move Objects with Arrows - Ai CS5

For some reason I cannot move objects with my arrow keys in Illustrator cs5. I can drag them and transform-move them but the arrow keys don't work. very annoying.
Any clues as to what I can do to fix this?
Thanks!

Could happen if your keyboard increment value is zero or a very low number.

Cannot move items in layers by dragging with mouse cc 2014

.mov opened in PSE CS5, saved as .psd, now PSE won't reopen it

I'm working on masking some video, and figured out a workflow that starts in Photoshop Extended CS5 and then moves to After Effects CS5. As instructed by this Adobe tutorial, I can do this by opening my footage (.mov's) in PSE, saving as a .psd, then adding that .psd to AE, which will read all the layers and timelines and effects as they were in PSE.
But after I save that .psd, it wont open in PSE. It gives me this message:
"Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."
even if I try to load the .psd into AE, I get this:
"The Photoshop Library operation failed because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."
Other threads (e.g.) indicate this is what happens when the file is corrupted, usually due to working off a server or with NAV. but I'm working locally (a 2x3.2ghz MacPro, OSX 10.5.8), and without Norton at all. I also duplicated the process several times (opening a .mov, altering it, saving it as .psd, and trying to reopen) and I got the same message every time. It seems unlikely that each file would get corrupted every single time...
If anyone could help, I would be much much obliged. Merry Christmas!
UPDATE: The .psd will open in PS CS3, but with plenty of CS5 stuff missing. Re-saved as a CS3 psd, and that re-opens in CS3, but not PSE or AE CS5 (as to be expected). Don't know if this matters at all. Thanks!

Is your copy of Photoshop CS5 up to date? That does sound a little like a bug that was fixed in 12.0.1.
And the simplest answer it is. I updated, and now it's working like a charm. Thanks Chris!
(sorry bout the PSE mixup – what's PS Extended called? PSX?)

Cannot move audio track

i imported a video (WMV) in Premiere Pro CS4 and first thing: it placed the audio track on track 5... i cannot move it to 1 as i woild have expected it to go from start...
as i import images only for video layers, there is no issue.
But now i need to place additional audio (only) tracks and they cannot be placed on other tracks: instead it goes on track 5 and just replace that section!
what have i done (forgot, involuntarily set, or else? )
This is the first project since i had to reinstall the entire CS4 PROD PREMIUM suite after a clean install of Windows. I don't think i ever had this issue before...
Thanks for your help,
Rob

Yes, one limitation of PrPro's Track setup is that one cannot just click+drag on a Track, to move it up/down, like most DAW programs allow. Instead, we do a little "dance," as you did - Remove Unused Tracks, then create New Tracks, where, and as is required.
One can set up a default Track structure, that will create what you want, when starting a New Project. My customized default is 3 Video Tracks, 2 Mono Tracks, 4 Stereo Tracks, and the Master is usually 5.1. As I seldom need a 5.1 Track (other than the Master), I do not include any, but can add them, if needed.
One neat feature of PrPro, as it does need channel-counts to match, to be used, is that if one had, say 2 mono tracks only, and then had a stereo Clip, if that is dragged to the Master (it will not go onto the Master), PrPro will then create a new 2-channel stereo Track for that Clip.
Good luck, and glad that things are working for you. You might want to give some thought to that initial Track setup, and make any changes, based on the majority of your Projects.

Cannot move selected objects in Illustrator

I'm using Illustrator CS5.5.
I cannot move anything I select. I try to drag it and it makes the "bump" noise.
-I made sure that my preferences are not set to "object selection by path only".
-I've restarted my computer several times
-I tried to open a previous Illustrator file and I have the same problem
-I even uninstalled and reinstalled my entire Abode Suite beacuse I've been having several issues
I'm not sure if this is related but I also can't create a new document unless I use picas and CMYK coloring. It refuses to adjust to anything other than the default settings. Also, I can't increase the stroke of an object unless I type in the number, meaning I can't use the arrows for adjustment.
So basically I am having a ton of problems and even reinstalling the program didn't fix them.
Help please.

Hi everyone.
I've also had the same problem recently. To sum it up:
- Sometimes (randomly) Illy won't move objects. I click and drag them, it results on a bumpy sound and the object comes back to its initial place. Note that the object is visually being moved during the drag
- Trying it again, with the same object, same conditions, may results in more failures, but at some point it works (sometimes 2 tries, sometimes 20)
- It doesn't seem to be affected by the direction, distance, "drag time" of the Move action.
- It is also not affected by the type of object being moved (simple or complicated shape, pixel image, etc)
- Keyboard input works flawlessly
- Only the move action via Selection or Direct Selection tool is affected.
What i've tried:
- Looking at obvious errors (layer locked, wrong tool selected, etc)
- Checking the outlines using Ctrl-Y or any other shape that would be in the way
- Unchecking "Object selection by path only" (was already, tried both)
- Opening other files, older or newer.
- Restarting Illustrator
- Restarting Computer
- Resetting my preferences
- Putting all kind of drivers up to date (Graphics, Motherboard, mouse, etc)
- Completely uninstalling/reinstalling Adobe CC 2014 Creative Suite, with a Cleaner Tool in between
- Trying with an older Illustrator version (CC) which does not seems to be affected (then again, the bug is pretty random, and danielv82539074 is having it with CS6)
Now my guess would be some kind of issue with mouse recognition since keyboard works. Restarting Illy sometimes give me a 10-15 minutes relapse before the bug occurs again.
Gear:
- Illustrator 18.1.1 64 bits
- Intel Core I6-2600K 3.4 GHz
- Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 Ti (drivers up to date)
- Mouse Steelseries XAI
- Windows 8
Anyway, this is really really annoying, i hate everyone, my life is in limbo, why is this happening to meee?!
Just kidding, i still love you Illy, just, you know, let me work !
Thanks everyone <3

Can't move layers in Mac Acrobat 9 Pro

I can't move layers in Acrobat 9 Pro, even though Adobe says it's possible. All that I get is a circle wih a slash at the cursor on clicking and holding the mouse, indicating that moving the layer up or down in the stack is not possible. No key presses help either. Four attempts to get a definitive answer from Adobe Support yield only that they said it was possible. They also admitted that even if you did move a layer, it would not affect how the layer objects display, ie. whether above or below other layer's objects!
Has anyone been successful in moving a layer?
Relatedly, one (Windows) respondent says she can "position" a new layer upon Layer Import, but the Mac dialog makes no mention of the layer stack, just the X-Y coordinates on the PDF page....
Thanks for any help or thoughts,
fss

Thanks guys for responding. I went through the usual steps of trashing preferences, shutting down the computer, going home, and drinking a beer. I got in this morning and booted her up, and now everything works just as it should.
No idea what it was. I'm positive that the tracks weren't locked, and I'm 95% sure that I was in arrow mode (I was selecting the layer right before trying to move it.)
I don't know what it was, but I hope it never happens again.
Thanks again,
Nathan

Cannot move [MOV filename]: It is in use by another person or program

Hello. I have recently installed version 7.41 of Quicktime for Windows (had the same problem with 7.4). What appears to be happening is that when I boot my computer, without opening any programs, if I go to a location where I have a MOV (Quicktime movie file) file, and try to cut and paste it to another folder it gives me the message:
Cannot move [MOV filename]: It is in use by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.
I have found by using some memory/file monitoring tools that EXPLORER.EXE is opening a handle to the file (accessing it for some reason) and then holding on to that handle thus not allowing me to move the file from one directory to another. By forcing the handles closed, it then allows me to move it, but then immediately maintains it open again, and cannot move it again.
This only happens with QuickTime MOV files. I have renamed the file to another format, just for kicks basically, and it works fine using another extension. I have also reassociated the MOV files with another app, but still has the same issues.
I have not run or any applications before this point and especially not anything related to QuickTime. Does anyone have any insight into what might be happening?

Hello akaMisterAnderson
I am having the exact problem when I try to rename or move the MOV file. I use Unlocker to determine which process is locking the MOV file and like you have said: it is the Explorer process.
I hope there will be a patch for this problem soon and if you know of any solution, please inform me.
Thanks.

Cannot move any files into trash to delete them. I get a Trash warning box saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'file name' could not be read or written.(Error code - 36)".Macbook has so much data it is almost not working

Cannot move any files into trash to delete them. I get a Trash warning box saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'file name' could not be read or written.(Error code - 36)".Macbook has so much data it is almost not working.
I have tried reseting to factory settings by removing battery and holding down the power switch for more than 5 sec but this does nothing.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I think with so much unwanted data on the desktop and other places the whole os will crash very soon.
Thanks, Rick

The hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full. You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
A -36 error is a read/write error.
All you did with the power is reset the SMC. Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings.
Do you have your original 10.4 installer discs for the MacBook?
Is your data backed up?

Cannot delete messages from inbox, cannot move messages out of inbox, message do not copy to "sent" or "draft"

The following problems occur:
- cannot delete messages,
- cannot move messages out of inbox,
- messages do not copy "sent"
- messages cannot be saved to "draft"
This applies to imap and to gmail accounts.
The following has not helped:
- compact trash and other folder
- deinstall and reinstall TB 31.4.
- archive profile with mozbackup and replace profile from archive after reinstall of TB.
- deinstall and reinstall TB 31.3 downgraded
- delete all folders and files with "trash*" in the file name (all IMAP)
- delete all files of 1 mail account completely in the TB profile and resync from server (IMAP)
This might coincide with these system changes:
- upgrade to TB 31.4.
- some of these email accounts were installed on ios8 iphone.
Not sure if the problems had already started before these 2 occurrences.
Any help is appreciated to solve this.
Thanks!

What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If POP, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings?
You may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time), but you should remove them from the server first if they’re still there.
Does this account allow web access? If not, you may find the Account Info window useful to solve this problem — choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window.

Print message print cartridge cannot move because of paper jam but the paper jam has been cleared.

My Envy 4502 printer message window says that the print cartridge cannot move and to clear any paper jam obstruction. There was a paper jam and I cleared it but the message "the print cartridge cannot move and to clear any paper jam obstruction" remains there and I cannot remove it or get the printer to print. I tried everythng listed in the troubleshooting section of the help guide in the software. I uninstalled the printer and then reinstalled it which didn't help in the slightest--the message about the print cartridge is still there. I also tried unplugging the printer overnight (to try to clear the memory) and this also did not help--that message is still there. By the way, I can easily move the printer cartridge by hand and I can hear the cartridge moving when the printer attempts to work. I would appreciate any help from anyone to get my printer to work again!
