HELP! My mouse wont drag my placed items, arrows on keyboard do still. What should I do????
HELP! My indesign file just stopped letting me drag any objects on my pages! If I use the keyboard arrows they will move over, but the mac mouse pad doesn't work either. What should I do??? I have looked through settings in both Indesign and my computer and can't find anything wrong. Does anybody know what it could possibly be? Thanks!
Any other applications open? Try closing them. Also try a re-boot.

Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?
If you delete songs (and other items) from the main iTunes library, yes, you need to empty the Trash because iTunes puts the song files into the Trash. When deleting items from an iPod, the items are not being deleted from the main iTunes library, so nothing should end up in the Trash.
Hopefully, you are not deleting items from your main iTunes library, just to sync those deletions from the iPod. If you are, there is a better way. You can post back if you want more info... -

my ipod wont turn on it keeps putting some white lights so what should i do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I recently logged in to my mac and while the finder relaunched it got frozen and is now gray. The dock does not show up or work. The launchpad doesnt work nor does mission control. I can only open applications from a finder window. The apps dont even work in fullscreen. Ive tried restarting it, logging in to another account, and booting in safe mode. None work. I will try to move my things to my other computer for the time.
What should I do?Run through this list of fixes, if your getting in do #9 as soon as possible.

I have an external hard drive that I have been using for years. All of a sudden my mac will not recognize the external as a "save as" device location. But the external does show up on my desktop and I can open it to drag and drop items. What happened and how do I get my mac to rerecognize the device?!?!?
Hi,

After installing Maverick on my 2011 MacBookPro I can no longer highlight multiple emails in the same manner. To clean out my Inbox I highlighted a message, held my mouse down & dragged my cursor down through all the messages I wanted to delete (or move to another mailbox, or other functions) highlighting as many messages as I wanted. I then clicked "delete" & they went to trash. Such a great way to clean out a lot of messages at once. Can I and/or how do I do this again? Or is this something Maverick has eliminated? I also hate that "Notes" is no longer on the Mail page, but this is not as important. Help!!
Put differenltly, if I can drag select multiple items and objects on my desktop, which I can, using my Kensington Track Ball (which has an enabled updated software driver in place, so I don't think there's a problem there), why can't I click-drag-multipleselect emails in mail like I have *always* been able to? Really, what is the problem here? Why is that no longer possibler? I'm not a coder, but I can't believe this isn't fixable. Here, Apple should be ashamed of itself, regardless of the fact that there's an easy work around. When I have to alter the way I have been doing something for years and have to waste time learning something new and complaining about it -- like right now! -- and there's no good technical reason, and I bet there isn't, then Apple has simply failed.

Need Help to Draw and Drag Triangle - URGENT
Hi everyone - I am developing various proofs of the pythagora's theorem
and the following code draws a triangle on screen and the proof follows -
but i need to know how to drag the triangle such tht 1 angle is always set to 90 degrees.
i.e. i need to resize the triangle by dragging its vertex points by which the1 angle remains at 90 no matter what the size.
The proof has got some graphics code hardcoded in it - i.e. LINES AND POLYGONS have been hardcoded
i need to reconfigure that such that everytime the user increases the size of the triagnle and clicks on next it draws the lines and polygons in the correct area and place

THANKSOne of the problems you face is that it is hard to recognise which parts of your code are drawing the triangle. This is because you are writing code in a procedural way rather than an object oriented way.
In object oriented code you would have a triangle object that could draw itself. You would create the triangle object by specifying its sizes and angles in some way. Then it should be easy to change the triangles sizes and angles and ask all the drawn objects to redraw themselves. -
How can I stop coalescing of mouse move/drag events in jdk1.6 ?
Hello all,
My application uses a [pen-based tablet|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_tablet] to draw lines/curves. But the problem is: when I run my application, due to javas default behavior of discarding the mouse events which occurs during the repaint call, the curves results in the set of joined straight lines.
To overcome this problem, when searched over net, came across below link:
[http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10811388]
I tried the option provided at the above URL i.e. overriding the below method of Component.java file:
protected AWTEvent coalesceEvents(AWTEvent existingEvent,AWTEvent newEvent);
But later found that, overriding this method worked fine for me for jdk1.5 but this solution did not work in case of jdk1.6. When reviewed the source of Component.java and EventQueue.java files in jdk1.6, found that this method is not having any implementation and simply returns null and the complete handling of coalescing of events occurs within EventQueue.java files local method which is mentioned below:
private boolean coalesceEvent(AWTEvent e, int priority);
As this method is part of EventQueue.java and also it is a private method, I am not finding any way to stop the coalescing of mouse move/drag events in jdk1.6.
The main problem is that my application is purely based on jdk1.6 only.
Can anybody help me out to solve this problem by providing any option of preventing the coalescing of mouse move/drag events in case of jdk1.6.
Thank you.Look at the link I posted, you aren't double buffering correctly.
I saw the other post you mistakenly made before you edited it. Not really a big deal, I was just wondering why you did that.
