Help! When i click and drag, only the frame moves!
So when i drag a pictue in a frame, whether its eps, png watever, only the frame outline drags with my mouse, the content stays where it started, then when i relese click in a new place the content moves to it.
I think this is some sort of fast mode or something but i cant figure out how to turn it off?
If i click and hold for a couple seconds then when i drag the picture drags with my mouse, but its so annoying having to hover on the picture every time i want to move something.
It also happens with transforming the picture, scalling it or rotationg it etc. I just get a preview of where it will end up from the frame outline then when i release the picture goes there.
Im on CS6.
If someone could help would be amazing, i've searched the web and im stumped!
You are looking for Live Screen Redraw, and reseetting the prefs won't do a thing becasue it's set to dealyed by default in CS6. You can set it to Always in the prefs, or you can click and hold for a moment before dragging to get the live view.

I have recently switched from a PC to a MacBook Pro.
I have a large number of documents and photographs on a multiterrabite external drive, backed up on a second multiterrabite external drive.
Both external drives are formatted for MacIntosh. This has been verified by agents at an Apple store and also at Best Buy in two different cities.
This is the problem:
The MacBook Pro will not allow me to cut-and-paste to and from or to click-and-drag to the external drive. I can copy-and-paste, but then I must send the original to the trash, which doubles the time and effort. Is there any way to cut-and-paste?
Also, the MacBook Pro will not allow me to rename multiple documents or photographs. I can click-and-rename a single one, but this is impossibly time consuming. I can batch-rename in iPhoto, but when I transfer the photographs to the external drive, the rename does not transfer.
I’m reduced to using my wife’s Toshiba to cut-and-past, rename, and transfer documents. It works perfectly. Is there any way to do this on the MacBook Pro?
Thanks!

No, this is a philosophical difference between Apple and Microsoft. Apple believes that it's dangerous to cut a file in case the user never pastes it; in that case the file is lost. Microsoft seems to not have this problem (if I remember Windows correctly) because they don't delete the originating file if it's cut but never pasted.
Even though Macs have a lot of keyboard shortcuts, philosophically Macs have traditionally been mouse-first. This applies to file copy operations. In your case, what a Mac user would do is open the source window, open the destination window (on your second drive), and then Command-drag the selected files from the source to destination window. This is because a normal drag would leave the originals behind, while adding the Command modifier key tells OS X that this is a Move, not a Copy, so don't leave the originals behind.
(In addition there are different rules for drag-copying within the same volume or between different volumes. If you drag between two folders on the same volume, the files are moved. If you drag between different volumes, the files are copied unless you hold down Command to delete the copies on the source volume.)

Two problems in this case. First, batch file renaming is not built into OS X unless you build something with Automator. However, there are many utilities that can do batch file renaming which you can find at macupdate.com or on the App Store. Since I work with media I often batch rename using one of the media managers I have lying around like Media Pro or Adobe Bridge (comes with Photoshop).
iPhoto is a database front end designed to shield the file system from the consumer and let them concentrate on creativity and sharing. As such it is often a poor choice for managing files directly. When you "transferred the photographs" chances are you moved the originals, not the ones iPhoto edited which are stored in a hidden folder.

There will not be a way to do it exactly like Windows. As described above, there are ways to do it "the Mac way." If it is possible to remove judgment on which way is "better" you might find the Mac way to be acceptable, but of course sometimes we simply prefer what we're used to. -
Why won't my mac highlight items when I click and drag?
Has anyone had their mac suddenly stop highlighting? When I click and drag it does not highlight.
Take the case off... does the screen turn off like it is designed to do when the device is near your face?
If it does, the case is the problem.
If it does not, then the sensor may be faulty, restore the device as new and try again. -
Applications crash immediately when I click and drag object. Every time in every Adobe program.
Application crashes when I click and drag object. Any time I am in an adobe program on my new computer (OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, 15 inch macbook pro 2.5gHz) say Illustrator for example, it will be fine until I inevitably need to click and drag something.
It immediately crashes, every single time. Same with Premiere, same with AE, same with photoshop. This is a brand new computer and I've tried all available versions CC2014, CC, and CS6. Anybody have some idea of what is happening? I've also tried using a bluetooth mouse to see if it's a problem with the touchpad. How could clicking and dragging cause every single application to crash 100% of the time.
Thank you in advance!Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed

If third-party software called "Air Display" is installed, remove it according to the developer's instructions, then reboot. Back up all data before making any changes.

Early today Alt, Ctr and Click and drag changed the brush size. Now it makes the move tool work. Anyone have this problem. I think Adobe had an update and put a bug in the program.
Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
windows:
Alt + right click + drag left or right
mac:
Control + Option + left click + drag left or right -
I can't 'click and drag' in the apps page to upload like it directs
I just signed up to creative cloud. I try to click and drag to uplaod in the apps page but nothing happens. I have used Photoshop and Indesign before as a trial. When I try to go through different pages to upload these programs through my creative cloud, it only gives me an option to 'buy'. What the hell is going on and why does Adobe website have to be so complicated?
You cannot upload to the Creative Cloud Apps page at https://creative.adobe.com/apps, but you can upload to the Creative Cloud Files page at https://creative.adobe.com/files. Click on the Files link in the top left of the page.
You will now be able to drag and drop files from the Windows Explorer or Mac OS X Finder onto the page and have them upload. The other way to upload is to use the Upload menu item after clicking on the blue Actions button in the top right.
And if instead you are trying to download and install an application here is help for that:
You should be able to sign in with your Adobe ID to the Creative Cloud Apps page at https://creative.adobe.com/apps and click the Download link for an application. The first time the Adobe Application Manager (AAM) will download and install. After that AAM will handle installing applications.
If AAM is not installing correctly you can install it manually from here:

Premiere Pro CC 2014 crash when I Click and Drag
Hi All, I have a problem with Premiere CC 2014 that is driving me crazy!
The issue is as follows:
If I try to drag a clip, sequence, effect or transition anywhere within the premiere, it will crash - with "Sorry, a serious error has occurred" message. The program will crash, quit and the saved recovery project is usually healthy (luckily!). BUT, as soon as I've re-started the program, and reloaded the project - or any project for that matter - the problem persists. As soon as I click and drag, Premiere crashes!
In order to 'reset' this, I have to restart my machine. Once I have done so, I can continue editing as normal for a while (not long, perhaps up to an hour, or so) but eventually, it WILL crash again. I've not been able to work out what I have to do in order to trigger this - it seems random. But once it's happened, only restarting my computer will resolve it - and then only temporarily.
Here are all the facts:
The crash ONLY happens when I drag something... This can include moving a clip on the timeline, dragging a clip form the source viewer or project window, dragging an effect or transition.
The crash happens after I have clicked, as soon as I start to move my mouse.
I CAN click and drag to extend in and out points on the timeline, and I can do 'insert' edit using the button on the source monitor. No crash here.
The footage plays fine.
I am trying this on a CLEAN OS X install, with only Adobe packages installed, to eliminate any potential of interference from other programs. There are no third party plugins or drivers installed. No user data installed either (preferences, photos, documents, etc) - as fresh as it comes!
I am not running Time Machine in the BG
My system is: Macbook Pro 2011, 16GB Ram, 1tb SSD, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. Intel Graphics card, so no option to turn on or off hardware acceleration. It is set to software only.
I have tested this with projects and footage on an external drive, as well as internal, same issue.
I noticed the issue had started on, or around 25-27th November 2014.
Interestingly, I have noticed that once this crash has occurred in Premiere, a similar problem will occur in After Effects as soon as I drag a file or layer... doesn't matter what the layer is. The crash seems less elegant here, I don't get an error message, it just freezes and I have to 'force quit'. Again, the problem persists until the machine is restarted.
I have been using my macbook and premiere pro cc 2014 on Mavericks for a long time, and had no problems - so I know it should work fine! The only things that changed were an update to Yosemite, I started using Time Machine to make regular backups, I installed a few new fonts and any CC updates that happened in the background... I can rule out most of these because of my fresh install, with no user data, fonts plugins or time machine to confuse matters... It must be an Adobe bug with Yosemite!
Any ideas?
Thanks so much in advance!!Hi Vince,

Please check this blog post. Updating from Time Machine can cause this issue: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later).

Click and drag to control frame advance
I have a layer that contains a movie clip, instance name wwr_mc, which has nineteen frames. I have figured out how to script a roll-over function to continously move from one frame to another by rolling over the prev, or next buttons, using this code:
wwr_mc.gotoAndStop(10);
var t:Timer=new Timer(250,0);
var dir:int;
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,onNextFrame);
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,right);
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopIF);
function right(e:MouseEvent): void {
dir=-1;
t.start();
wwr_mc.nextFrame();
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,left);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopIF);
function left(e:MouseEvent): void {
dir=+1;
t.start();
wwr_mc.prevFrame();
function stopIF(e:Event): void {
t.stop();
function onNextFrame(e:TimerEvent): void {
wwr_mc.gotoAndStop(wwr_mc.currentFrame + dir);
This type of navigation, while functional, is not really codusive to what I'm trying to accomplish. I would like to be able to click and drag the mouse and have the frames advance forward or backward depending on the direction of the mouse movement.
I tried using the MOUSE_Move event with very limited success.
Any suggestions would be helpful!
Thanks!I don't see anything via that link that I can relate to this posting.
If you want to make the change in frames happen solely based on the direction (x) that the mouse is being moved, then you need to test the current position of the mouse against the last known position...
var startPosition:Number = mouseX;
wwr_mc.gotoAndStop(10);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);
function onMouse(e:MouseEvent): void {
if (mouseX-startPosition >= 0) {
wwr_mc.nextFrame();
} else {
wwr_mc.prevFrame();
startPosition = mouseX;
I am not sure what you find as being too fast. When you are doing things relative to an extended event, such as a mouse being moved for some time, then it is highly likely that the event will execute the event handler function repeatedly... as fast as the frame rate of the file allows. So if you want more control of the rate at which mouse moves effect nextFrame/prevFrame function calls, then you need to build in some form of delay. In the example below, it takes the form of removing the mouse move event listener for a short period using a timing function (setTimeout in this example, though you could use the Timer class as well)
var startPosition:Number = mouseX;
var delayTime = 250; // 0.25 sec
wwr_mc.gotoAndStop(10);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);
function onMouse(e:MouseEvent): void {
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);
var currentPosition:Number = mouseX;
if (currentPosition-startPosition >= 0) {
wwr_mc.nextFrame();
} else {
wwr_mc.prevFrame();
setTimeout(setListener, delayTime);
function setListener(){
startPosition = mouseX;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse); -
I have more than one tab open, and I can usually move them around and organize them freely. But a couple of days ago when I tried to move them they just get stuck and stay in the spot it was put in when i created the new tab. I didn't download or change anything. this just started happening when I opened my browser a couple days ago.

Thx for any suggestions,
DennisTry deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -
I have several pics in my iphoto library that have shown up in my folders with the original photo laid underneath it. How do I seperate them?
You don't already have a back up?
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
With the back up? Nothing unless things get worse after the fix. If they do, restore from the back up.
