I can't drag apps from dock in Lion

After just installing Lion I find I am unable to drag apps from the dock or rearrange them. If I click and hold I get a pop up menu that lets me remove the app but I still can't drag and rearrange them like I could in Snow Leopard. I have searched for an answer with no luck so this is my last hope. Does anyone have an answer?
Thanks.

Sounds like your Dock preference files are damaged.
Have you tested the issue in a new user?
If a new user works fine:
1. Log back into your effected user.
2. relocate these two files to your desktop:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.db
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
3. Reboot your computer.
4. Test issue

Can't drag files from Dock download icon

Up until recently, I could open my download dock icon and drag any file I had downloaded there to the desktop. After the last Mavericks update I can't do this, whether I right-click or left-click any file in the fan (or stack, grid, etc.) is highlighted in blue and then opened...that's the only choice. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like when I click the icon...and it can no longer be dragged to the desktop - http://take.ms/ocPoH. If anyone has any ideas why this just started occurring, thanks for sharing.

It works now! Yes, I think "Big" Bridge wasn't start what time. Thank you!

Drag it further away and it should release. It used to be that you just had to drag it off a little bit for it to delete. The new behaviour got introduced at some point in Mountain Lion.

Try downloading the apps from your phone
App store > tap updates> tap purchased> tap not on this iphone> click on the cloud with the down arrow for the app you want to download"

How can I remove apps from my iPad

How can I remove apps from my iPad? It does not have the little "x" option on the iPad like the iPhones.

It works just the same as an iPhone. A long hold on an icon will cause them all to start wobbling, drag to move around or tap the X to remove.You can't remove any of the built-in apps so these won't get an X to tap.

How can I remove apps from my iPhone 5 home page?

Tap and hold an app until they all start to wiggle, then tap the black "x" on the apps you want to delete from your phone, or drag them to the edge of the screen if you want to move them to another screen rather than deleting them. Finish by tapping the home button.

Spaces opening random app from dock

I'm using spaces (9). Different space for different app (iTunes, Mail, etc). When I want to move some file/folder from one space to another one, I grab the file activate spaces (in my right top corner of my screen) move on correct space and press spacebar (it activate the space immediately). At that moment random app from dock is started.
What is wrong? How can I avoid this? It is very annoying.

(oh darn - I am sorry - somehow I got this into the wrong thread... Please ignore)
You might try launchd which takes over many tasks of cron as well as other stuff, and to use it you might try Lingon, http://sourceforge.net/projects/lingon/files/, although it is now out of development. I used Lingon last year and found it quite useful, whether or no it is happy under SL I do not know. But there are lots of examples on the web about how to set up an agent for launchd and it might provide an alternative.
An iCal event is probably the easiest though, and you can hook in an automator script to make things really exciting.

You don't mention which operating system you have so it's difficult to provide an answer since the mac and Windows stores the files differently.
The other thing you can do is just re-download the apps from the iTunes Store. Just login to the iTunes Store on the other computer using the same Apple ID. On the right-hand side of the iTunes Store page you will see a 'Purchased' link. Clicking on that will take you to a page that will list your past purchases which you can re-download to the new computer.

How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
- Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
- Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
- Restore the iPOd from that backup
She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.

Apple the best

The iPad 1 can't run the newer operating systems. It'd be like trying to play a bluray disc in your 6 year old dvd player....it simply lacks the hardware to make the software run.
No suggestion about the camera, but given that Apple's attitude seems to be to focus more on the more mobile devices for photography (the iPhone and Touch cameras got features, the iPad and mini didn't), that is highly unlikely. You can tell Apple what you want, but you'd probably be money ahead to get a digital camera.
as to the photos, anything put on via iTunes has to come off via iTunes.Your main alternative would be to look for photo apps that offer file exchange that may give you more functionality.

All of your apps should be on your computer.
Just sync them to the new device.
You can also redownload
Download past purchases - Apple Support
Not all apps are compatible with both iphone/ipod and ipad. Some are universal.
