Dragging of inserts like arrows jerky, so can't position them where I want...

Help! when I insert a arrow, or image, I can't position it where I want to on the slide, movement is jerky and it won't stay put.  I have never had this problem before, and  have no idea what's causing is.  I closed out of everything and did a shutdown and restart on my computer... with no luck.
Thank you.

Hello,
What is happening here is that your objects are "Snapping to the grid". Not sure what version of Captivate you are using. I know this works in Captivate 4, probably in 3 as well (Cant' remember). Go to the View menu along the top. There is probably a checkmark beside "Snap to Grid". Remove the check mark and you should be all set to go
HTH,
Doug

  • My iPhone 4 has had a cover on it since the day I first had . But the back of the phone now has lots of little marks all over it . They don't feel like scratches since I can't feel them with finger or fingernail. They won't shift with alcohol or anything

    My iPhone 4 has had a cover on it since the day I first had it . But the back of the phone now has lots of little marks all over it . They don't feel like scratches since I can't feel them with finger or fingernail. They won't shift with alcohol or anything. I am guessing they have been caused by dirt between the cover and the rear of the phone; but that is despite me cleaning the back and the inside of the back cover regularly. Has anyone else had the same?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Why my spotlight can not find my personal files ? It can find them before but can not find them now,I want to know why?

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Spotlight ▹ Privacy
    The list of items excluded from Spotlight indexing is shown (it may be empty.) Click the plus (“+”) icon to add an item to the list. Select your boot volume (under DEVICES) and add it to the list. Then remove it from the list by selecting it and clicking the minus (“-“) icon.
    Spotlight will rebuild the index. If you try to do a Spotlight search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, a pulsing dot will appear in the icon. When the dot disappears, the indexing is complete.

  • I have 5000 photos on my 16GB iphone, where can I store them where i can access them easily?

    I have 5000 photos on my 16GB iphone, where can I store them where i can access them easily?

    I completely agree Fox.  Photostream should be used as a convenience for sharing, not for anything other than temporary storage. Same goes for the device itself.
    At least once a week, I import my photos/videos from my iPhone to my computer, and at least once a month, I make a backup of my computer to an external hard drive.  And at least once every few months, I burn 2 DVDs of the past few months worth of photos/videos, one for myself, and one that I put in my fire safe with other important hard copy documents.  And there are off-site image storage options out there as well which are available, and I've used occassionally.
    The only time I've ever lost photos was about one half-day's worth while I was on vacation when my camera went overboard.  And this was on day 5 of my vacation.  Each night, I swapped out memory cards and uploaded the current day's card to my laptop.  For anyone going on a trip, I recommend at least three memory cards for your camera, or if you're only using an iPhone, backup to either iCloud or iTunes every day.
    An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

  • Regions act abit like divs? Can you position them with css?

    Could you just hook up an id selector to a region and position them as you like, haven't had time to look at it myself? Anyone?

    Hello,
    Actually if you look at the region templates some of them are <div> tags and or tables and most of them already have automatically created id's associated with them.

  • Placing music in a slideshow - can't move it where I want it

    I'm so frustrated...I'm doing a wedding slideshow; first time with the new version of iMovie. I am trying to place a second song in the slideshow, and I want it to start in the middle of one of my "fade out" transitions. But when I try to drag it, it won't go exactly where I want it - it always wants to start right smack at the beginning of the next slide (which makes for a rough audio transition). Can anyone please tell me how to movie audio clips very intricately? In the old version, I think you used to be able to just click on the track and move it slightly with the arrows, if I'm not mistaken. Is there any way to do this in this version?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Hi Daniel,
    I just tried Winston's suggestion about dragging on top of the clip (rather than dragging to the background) - I always insert audio this way. But there is a trick to positioning music to start playing within a transition.
    In my test, I dragged a music track over the "fade to black" transition. Before dropping, this caused it to cover the whole background green, so I dropped it onto the incoming clip. This action placed it as a separate track positioned directly below the video track. I was then able to position the music track part way through the transition, without it bouncing back to the start of the next clip.
    So, the trick is to drop the music onto a "normal" clip, then separately drag it to the desired position beneath the transition.

  • HT204053 I have forgotten my questions and answers for my password. How can I replace them. I want to use the same password I have ?

    I was on the phone for almost 2 hrs. yesterday because I had so many passwords I couldn't remember the one I used for itunes. The fellow helped me get it all straightened out but it still wouldn't let me get in because I couldn't remember the questions and answers. He was going to take care of it at that end and told me to wait 24 hours. So I'm at it again. I got into itunes but when I try to retrieve my previous apps,it wants me to put my password for that as well and then I'm in the situation with it not accepting my password so when I try to change my password it then wants me to answer the question and answer so now I'm thinking I have more than a seizure disorder and it's driving me to the point of no patience. Can you help?

    You may have no need for additional but Apple does. They don't want your iTunes account to be hacked and then go complaining to them that their security procedures are not up to standards.

    Its really absurd to even ask this in light of the information that you have been given already. The "old fashioned" way is gone. It's Apple's store, Apples's rules and IMO - its a wise decision on Apple's part.
    You do not have to comply at all, but you will not be able to purchase from iTunes anymore, but nobody is going to force you to do something that you do not want to do.

  • How do I add a password for internet sites so that my kids can not just go where they want to go?

    This is a computer strictly for school. I do not want my child to be able to browse the internet with out my password being put in so that I know where he is looking.

    Adobe Reader cannot change security options. There is nothing you can do, when creating the PDF, to change this.

  • Inserting an arrow in a picture object in a document

    I am using Pages 2.0.2. I inserted a jpeg image and need to put an arrow on this image to show readers that this is the area we are discussing.
    I have been using Edit > Insert > Shape and get my arrow, change the color and size. When I try to drag the arrow and anchor it on my image the arrow shape replaces the former jpeg and all I now see is a big arrow in that space.
    Could someone share with me how to get the arrow in place?
    I have also tried to insert a special character arrow and that didn't work either.
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I think you may be inserting both objects with the text cursor active. If you look in the wrap inspector with the object selected, you'll probably see "moves with text" selected. Inserting a second object, the arrow, will "push" the first object, possibly out of sight before or after the first object. With the object(s) selected, click the "fixed on page" option. You should now be able to position them as you want. If any of your objects is a text box, the default setting of wrap being on with a 12-point gutter/extra space, the text will be "pushed" away.
    To prevent this from happening, make sure you're not in the text layer before inserting any objects by clicking outsid of the layout area first.

    Drag it from the Music Browser to the frame of video where you want it to start and drop it there. It will appear as a colored ribbon beneath the video clips, rather than as a colored background.
