Document icon on screen- cannot move it?

Hello. I was just tidying up files in a folder, when one of the document icons 'froze' onto the screen. I closed down the Finder window, but the icon continued to hang there. it is now superimposed on all the views of the mac, on top of any document I am working on. Could you good people advise me of how to get rid of it?
Thanks!
Sarah

This glitch survives after restarting the computer?

RDC with Mac Laptop and Second Screen - Cannot move Mac Windows onto RDC Screen

The older version of RDC 2.1.1 works perfectly with an additional screen. With the new version 8.0.10, although you can launch and use RDC, you can, no longer, move a window over onto the second screen. So RDC works fine, but you do not have the flexibility
of using both screen while RDC is running. This is clearly a backward step from 2.1.1.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
There is one expected MAC behavior as on Mac only one app gets focus when you go full screen.
In addition, please share some more light with snapshot for your issue for further research.
Thanks for your understanding and support!

Go to Settings>General>Usage. How much space does it show you have?
If you connect your phone to your computer, what does iTunes say is on your phone? Do you see a large amount of "Other"? If so, you may have a corrupted database. You'll need to sync your phone then restore it as NEW (not from back up) then re-sync your data).

Case: When trying t work in a second desktop, a program cannot be used if open in the first desktop. The screen just moves back to the first deskt

When I try to work in a second desktop, a program cannot be used if already open in the first desktop. The screen just moves back to the first desktop. Anybody else have this issue?

Whether or not this behavior occurs depends upon various preference settings and upon how you try to access the application in question. Personally, I like to organize my desktops according to project, so I regularly have windows from the same application spread out over several desktops. No problem.
For example, I have a Safari window in Desktop 1 and I want a Safari window in desktop 2. If, while in desktop 2, I bring Safari to the front by clicking on the Dock icon, I can open a new window in the usual ways. I could also just control-click on the Safari icon in the dock to get a new window in desktop 2.
(The only application that is a little weird in this regard is Finder. You have to do the control-click on it or it will always switch to a space with a window open.)
To make all this occur, I have Safari assigned to no desktops (control-click on Safari icon, then on Options) and in Mission Control preferences (in System Preferences) I have "When switching to an application..." UNchecked.
(Note that, with these settings, if an application is already in front and you click on its icon - or click twice on the icon if the applcation is not in front - the OS will assume you are looking for another open window and will switch spaces to give you one.)
Hope this helps.

Non-responsive Screen - can move cursor, but cannot select

MacBook Pro, OSX 10.10, cannot select or click on anything.
Mouse or touch screen will move the cursor, but it's like the screen is frozen.
Message on screen is "carbon coy cloner interrupted logout. Cancel or Try Again."
Control right arrow moves to next desktop (there are five). Cursor stays in same place on the screen.
Removed HDMI connection to external monitor, and rebooted, but cannot click on login in names.
Can move to different login persons using arrow keys.
Pressing Return brings up login password box. typed in password. Login successful.
Using control-Left Arrow will slide over a different desktop. In the first desktop, the there is an open TextEdit document into which I can type successfully.
But I cannot move the document, or save it.
What's happening?

This has happened to me at least a half dozen times since I updated to 10.2.2 yesterday morning. Each time I have restarted using the power button. Basically, the same as you are seeing. The mouse moves but when I try to click to select, nothing happens. I can't even get the dock to pop up.

I cannot delete a file from the document folder. I can move it to the trash and then empty the trash, but when I go back to the documents folder it is still there.

Gay,
I wonder what your computing environment is. Is your account being administrated by another account? Are you working in an account subject to "Parental Controls"?

That is, I cannot log in, sleep, restart, or shut down. I am running it on an Early 2009 Macbook Pro, which is said to have the capabilities of running Mountain Lion.

As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17. They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

Select them in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and clear the Locked box.

Lost my document icon on bottom of screen.

I lost the document icon on the bottom of my screen. How can I get it back?

Click on the house icon in the Finder's sidebar and drag it back from there. In recent Mac OS X versions, you can also drag it back directly from the sidebar.

Using screen capture, I cannot move the brackets to cover more than a small strip of screen

I wish to download a video that I can only view on line. 'Download Helper' does not operate. 'Screen capture'' seemed to be the answer. I press the red button and two flashing brackets appear. I cannot move them so I only get a very limited amount of screen captured. I would appreciate your help. Thank you.

You have to declare your intention to keep the disk appendable each time you write something, or the last thing you wrote is the last it will accept.

When attempting to "save as" a word document and selecting micrsoft word as the "save as type", it no longer will save it in a word icon document, the icon is just a blank document symbol and thus cannot email this document as before.

Here are my two cents.
The resources defining the file formats which Pages may import or export are stored in the file :
Macintosh HD:Applications:iWork '09:Pages.app:Contents:Info.plist
Assuming that you didn't installed the Developer tools, go to my iDisk (address below)
Download :
Pref Setter.app.zip
Unpack the archive.
Open the file "Info.plist" with Pref Setter.
Open the entry entitled : CFBundleDocumentsTypes
Open the items 9, 10, 11, 12
The normal contents is :
Double check the parameters available for items 9 & 10.
What you get may be linked to some oddity in these resources.

Cannot move iDisk icon on desktop display.

Help, I cannot move my iDisk icon on the desktop display. All other icons move with no problem.

Never mind. Problem "solved". I messed around with grid spacing, made some extra room by moving other icons, and was finally able to place the icon where I wanted it.

How do I move icons between screens?

Friends,
I have an ipad2 and an iphone. On the iphone, I can easily drag icons between screens by press and holding, then dragging the icon to the side -- the adjacent screen the appears and I can drag the icon to that screen. When I try the same thing on my ipad2, the adjacent screen does not appear. I'm able to move the icons when connected to itunes, but that's a pain.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
Steve

All you are missing is patience. Move the icon to the edge of the screen and hold it about halfway over to the next screen for a second or two. Then suddenly the app will jump to the next screen.
