I can't move my files around in my desktop they are all stack on the right side and won't move to the left or anywhere but to the right side

I don't know what happened but suddently I can't move my files located in my desktop. They will always stay in the right side of the desktop and when I try to move them to the left or somewhere else it won't allow me to.

try the Finder>View>Show view options
make changes to grid size, sort by none, icon size
and see if this makes a difference. We can go from there.

I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance

I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance
its 1000s of songs . Originally I used the time machine as a networked drive but it can cause the songs to pause so I'm thinking it would be better to have the songs on the internal imac drive
how can I move the songs so I can re-open iTunes and the playlists (with plays in the 100s) find the song in the new place?

Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists.

Deskjet 712C: Ink cartridge got stuck in right side and won't move

I have an old DeskJet 712C that was working fine until today. Strangely, the ink cartridge got stuck in the right side of the printer and won't move. As soon as I turn on the printer, the red light starts blinking. Does anyone know any tricks to get the ink cartridge to move again? Thank you for your help.
This question was solved.

Hi,
It may be possible to move the carriage if you turn off the printer. Unplug the printer and open the printer lid. See if you can move the carriage by hand. If this is possible move the carriage to the centre. Check to see that the is nothing blocking the movment of the carriage - e.g. some pieces of paper.
Close the lid and then plug the printer back in. Hopefully this will help.
I did find a You Tube video which shows fixing carriage jams on C4200 printers ( I know that they are not the same as the 712C) but some of the suggestions may be useful if my initial thought above do not help. the video is at this link:

Again these tips are not specifically for your printer but they may help solve your issue.
I hope that this was helpful.

Can't upload "put" files to remote server unless they are in a folder. Please help.

I have done many searches on this and found no solutions. Here is the problem:
When I upload a file from my local site to the remote server it works fine as long as that file is contained in a folder.
Example:
I can upload an image from my images folder, or a template page from my template folder with no problem.
BUT, I can not upload any web/html pages, my CSS page, site map, or any file for that matter that is simply in the root directory but not in it's own folder.
When I try to do that I get this error:
index.html - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot put index.html. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured.
File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.
Files with errors: 1
index.html
So every time I make a change to my index page I can't upload it to the server without getting that error unless I use a 2nd party program like Filezilla - which works fine. It is only Dreamweaver doing this.
I have been using dreamweaver for a long time and had no problems with this site. This all started happening out of no where. and it is happening on my work and home computer.
I made no changes to my server preferances or anythijng like that.
I was just doing my thing - being happy - and then BAM, not happy any more....

Hi there. First off thank you for your interest and your help.
I have done what you suggest probably 30 times as I have obsessed over this crazy problem for a couple straight weeks before I finaly gave up on CS5.5
I'm not sure what you mean by REMOTE server. The only server settings I am aware of are the ones in Dreamweaver. Here they are:
5.0 Settings:
Server Name = the same values on each
Connect Using = FTP
FTP Address = same numeric value on 5.0 & 5.5 port 21
User name = same on both
Password = same on both
Root directory = is blank (I have tried it using / with no luck as well)
web URL = http://ftp.westbrookadvertising.com/www/htdocs/
Passive FTP is checked & Use FTP Peformance optimization is checked.
5.5 Settings:
Server Name = the same values on each
Connect Using = FTP
FTP Address = same numeric value on 5.0 & 5.5 port 21

Root directory = is blank (I have tried it using / with no luck as well)

Can't see some files, even though I know they are there

This is a strange one.
A couple of days ago, I began not being able to see most of the folders in my documents folder. I can see some, but not most.
I know the files are there, because I can access recently used files from the applications like Word and Excel that have a recent files list. And, they are working fine.
I just can't see the bulk of my folders. I've checked the things that occurred to me on security and sharing, and I don't think I changed anything or added any new software.
Any guesses? Thanks for your help.

Got my answer. I had moved the files (or someone in my family did), and they were deeply buried in another folder. Thanks.

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Pages 5.0: How can I get page no.s to display correctly (they are all messed up)?

I have a number of documents that are quite long. In Pages I have always put the page no. in the footer. In Pages 5.0 thsi comes out looking like a number of letter superimposed on each other. I have tried deleteing and redoing in the old doc to no avail.
I have tried starting a new document - this works just fine! I do not fancy going back and copying all of my work into new docs.
Any suggestions?

OK solved it - it seems to be the font! Some work, some do not

I am not able to move my files around in Finder, any suggestions?

I was able to do this before, but my Mac is no longer allowing me to move my files around in Finder. I keep all my school work organized in folders for each class, but I can longer move any type of document into these folders. When I try to drag a document it doesn't even move. I've tried googling the problem to no avail. Help?

Also, when I add things to my desktop they are no longer showing up on my actual desktop. However, they are in the folder for my desktop on Finder. I'm not sure if these problems are related in any way.

Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash? They are not locked. I compressed them into a zip file and then couldn't delete that file either. I've restored them and tried deleting again but no luck. Can anybody please help? iOS 10.8.5

You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash/*
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.
