Cant drag files into ID anymore, can only Place, why?
CS4 and Win7...Generally when I work, I have one window open with all the files Im working with. To open an ID file, or to drop a text or graphic into an open ID document, I would drag the file over into the ID area. Since I restored my computer, It no longer lets me do this with anything. I just get the "circle/slash" icon. What is preventing me from doing this? Was never aware of a setting that would prevent this.
Have you tried to change the UAC (User Account Control) settings in Windows 7?
Try to change, or even disable the UAC. You will find the settings for this in your Control Panel/System and Security.
I dont think it is a InDesign problem.
Also: If you are running Windows 7 x64 you should at least once start InDesign "as administrator". It does a lot of things behind that solves problems.

Ipod nano 6th gen cant download files into it anymore
So i try to download podcasts and music but it wont let me anymore, it says a file is missing.
Connect it to your computer. Click on the name of your iPod under DEVICES in the far left frame. Move to the Summary tab to your right and click on "Manually Manage My Music".
You will have to manually drag your music/podcasts from iTunes to your iPod and you will have to manually eject your iPod when you are through syncing. -
Can't Drag Files into the Itunes Library anymore

Can't drag files into the queue window on some computers
For some reason, on my new desktop and my laptop. I cannot drag files into the Queue window in Media encoder. I have tried dragging avi's, wav, and mp4. As the files I am dragging hover over the queue window, my mouse turns into the "circle with a line through it" pointer and I cannot add the files that way. I can click the plus sign and then browse to its location to add. I just want to have my drag n drop feature working again... Any ideas why i can on some computers and not others?
I did try running media encoder as administrator. All my computers are running windows 8.1.do you have source patching turned on for audio?

I have a MacBook pro version 10.6.7 with snow leopard. After an scheduled software upgrade I could not open Quicken (It said it could not open the files). Now I can only open it if I have my external drive on. Can you help?
All the information that I had input on Quicken is gone. I have to have the external hard drive that I use to back up to be able to use quicken now. It is as if it was erased from the laptop hardriveTry repairing permissions. My favorite way is with a utility called AppleJack. Info and download here. It's free. It only works when you boot in Single User Mode. When restarting or booting, hold down the Command key and S keys.
You will get a very different startup screen that looks like the Terminal app has hijacked the screen. Just let the lines of text scroll by. When that happens you will get a text entry prompt. Type in "AppleJack" without the quotation marks.
A DOS looking menu will appear. Choose 1 or d to run Disk Repair. If you get a message that Disk Repair found and corrected errors, run it again. Repeat until you get the "your disk appears to be ok" message. This rarely happens with my experience, though. This does the same thing as as booting from an external drive and running Disk Utility's repair. Only, no external drive is required!
Next, choose 2 or p to repair disk permissions. This will take a little while. AppleJack warns that it will take up to an half hour to run repair permissions. It'n never taken more than about ten minutes for my MacBook Pro.
As permissions are repaired, you will see each repair scroll on the screen. When done, the menu returns, choose q to quit. Then at the prompt, enter "exit" without the quotes. Your MacBook Pro should restart into Mac OS normally after this.
Hope this helps. -
i have an ipad version 5.1.1. i have multiple albums in the ipad and i want to transfer some photos to my computer but when i open the ipad files via "computer" i can only see pictures from one of the albums.what should i do?
You can only import photos from the camera roll into the computer. Is that the album that you are seeing?
Any albums that you create on the device itself (the iPad that is) cannot be transferred to your computer. iPad created albums do not contain copies of your photos but merely pointers to those photos so they do not actually exist in those albums. -
All of a sudden, I am unable to click-and-drag files into folders?
I have a 2012 Macbook Air 11". I was dragging files into folders and then all of a sudden I couldn't. All I can do is copy and paste...frustrating.
I tried accessibility settings, enabling dragging but that didn't change anything. Any suggestions?Restart your Mac and try again.

2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC -
I am doing a photo book but can only place picture from the last 12 months or last import. How can I access other pictures? Any advice?
You access them in the event they are in or under Photos or from an album if they are in an album - simply drag them to the book project in the source pane on the left

Can't drag motion files into Compressor anymore
I used to be able to drag Motion files into the batch window in Compressor, and now I can't. I've tried trashing preferences - no effect. It's frustrating because loss of this ability doesn't coincide with any update, so I'm not sure what it could be. Does anyone with more compressor experience than me have any ideas?
Somehow, when I tried to drag from the finder, I didn't always get the right song! But if I double clicked that song in the finder, the right song was played by iTunes, even though the wrong song showed up in Garage Band. Dragging to and from the desktop worked fine, and I just dragged it from the desktop to the trash after I worked on it in Garage Band for editing and "sharing" back into iTunes.

Can't drag files into itunes from computer folder.
Im running windows 7 64bit, with the newest version of itunes:10.2.2.14. I can't drag files from my "music folder" which is in my documents into itunes anymore. I used to be able to do this with my old computer running windows 7 32bit, and even on windows vista, but it doesn't seem to work for me now. is there a setting that i can change? or mess around with something to fix this problem?
Ah. Just updated iPod again and movie dragged in fine.
Odd how it should work for one and not the other.
I guess that could a "bug fix" that the update referred to? -
Can't drag files into folders in PDF portfolio
I have created a PDF portfolio that contains primarily PDFs converted from e-mail messages, along with a few files from various Microsoft Office products. The portfolio has been added to over time, and now we have almost 100 files in the portfolio, so we'd like to organize these files into folders so it is easier to use.
However, when I create a folder, I am not able to drag any files into it. I've tried all different types of files--PDFs, Word, PowerPoint--when I drag the file on top of the folder, I get the circle backslash symbol indicating the function is not allowed. I can't find any information about this in the Help files; every tutorial I've looked at indicates that I should be able to drag and drop files wherever I like, but doesn't mention what to do if I can't.
I'm using Acrobat Pro X on Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
Any suggestions about why this might be happening and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to have to recreate the whole thing, but it's not going to be very useful if we continue adding unorganized files.
Thanks,
LisaI tried a different layout (I had a custom layout set up; I switched to the standard Grid), and I still can't drag and drop.
I just now created a new portfolio with a few of the same files, and I was able to drag the files into a folder I created.
Yes, the original portfolio was created in Acrobat 9.
Thanks,

OS Lion: Can't drag attachments into Mail message, Can't drag files into Trash
Dragging an attachment into a Mail causes a crash adn I have to force quit. I can attach files via the menu, but keep forgetting and have to keep force quitting.
Also (probably not connected), I can't move files into the Trash... Just get a Moving "xxxx" to "Trash" dialog and the progress bar never changes...

Any ideas?

Boot up holding command-r keys into Lion Recovery Volume. Reinstall Lion and it will "install in place" so none of your own data or settings should be effected. -
ITunes 11.0.1: Can't drag files into playlist unless it's in "List" view mode
If I drag and drop audio files from Finder into a playlist in iTunes 11 (which I do in order to make sure meta tags are correct), they only appear in the playlist if i'm using "List" mode. Using "grid" or "artist list", the files get added to my iTunes library, but they don't appear in the playlist I dragged them into.
What's up with this? Is it happening for other people?
(This is iTunes 11.0.1 on OS X 10.8.2.)berrrnard,
I get the same result as you. Best advice ..... always drag them to the List.
I don't really follow this though.......... (which I do in order to make sure meta tags are correct).
What do you mean ??
