InDesign copy, cut or move box functions don't work

I am having trouble with the copy, cut and move box commands. When a text or shape box is active, I cannot move it with the cursor. It will move if I use the arrow keys, but the box behaves like it were "locked." I deleted my preferences, but that makes no difference. This problem persists whether I am in an existing ID document, or if I start a new one.
The copy and cut functions don't work either.

Of course replacing your prefs is a possibility, and has nothing to do with the need to force quit (but will probably cure it). Replacing prefs is done with the application closed, either using the keyboard combination as you relaunch, or by deleting or renaming the specified files, both ow hich are desribed inthe link in the previous post.
You posted that you had already deleted the prefs, I believe, but many users are not aware they can use the keyboard or that there are two files involved for ID and are not successful, and thus think repacing the the prefs is not going to solve the problem. Hence my previous question. Did you use one of the methods in the link?

I-Movie: Clip-Functions don't work

I'm working on I-Movie and i'm trying since three days to edit my videos with the functions under the menue point "Clip", but this isn't just possible. All the functions under "Clip" are inactive (shown in a light grey) and i can't use any of them.
I've already unlocked all the clips i've imported (the format of the is .avi), i've marked them to edit them, but there seems no working solution.
Any suggestions to solve the problem?
Thanks

Add video to your project
1. Open an existing project by double-clicking it (don’t click the project’s name directly) in the Project
Library.
If you don’t see the Project Library, click the Project Library button
You select an Event by clicking its name once. The Event footage appears in the Event browser to the
right of the Event Library.
2. In the Event Library, select an Event whose footage you want to add to your project.
If you don’t see the Event Library, click the Event Library button, which is typically located in the lowerleft
corner of the iMovie window.
3. In the Event browser, select a range of video frames or an entire video clip.
To select an entire video clip, hold down the Shift key and click the clip once, so that it’s outlined in
yellow.
To select a portion of a clip (called a frame range), drag across any clip while you hold down the button
on your mouse or trackpad. Selected frames are outlined in yellow.
4. Drag your video selection to the Project browser.
You drag by holding down the button on your mouse or trackpad as you move the selected clip to the
Project browser. You can drag it anywhere: to the beginning or end of the project, or between clips
you’ve already added. A vertical green line, along with a green Add symbol, appears anywhere you
can place the clip.
Once video is added to the Project Browser window, it may just be the case that the Clip Menu becomes available, and everything will not be grayed out but working as you expect it to.

I have spotty signal at my home, so some functions don't work until I leave the house. I noticed on the main screen, it says I have 54 emails, but when I open the app, I only have 4. I powered down and back up. No fix. What gives?

Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
Anyone help you with your fix yet?

Mobile wifi mouse back and forward functions don't work

I just bought the hp wifi mobile mouse model MOWFFKUL and back and forward functions don't work and it's driving me crazy. I bought it for these specific functions. At first I thought that it was a broken mouse. So I went and returned it, got back home, and the same thing. I set the side buttons to other functrion options and they work. What the hell??? just the back and forward buttons don't. I'm losing my mind big time because I REALLY NEED those buttons/functions to work!! All the regular top buttons functrion fine, it's only the back forward setting that DOESN't WORK.

I restarted my laptop, and the buttons worked! For only 2 minutes. Then nada ever again. What a POS. Come on HP, give a solution. I bought and returned it twice, which makes this my third wifi mouse. What a waste of my time. I think I'm just gonna return this mouse and forget the wifi mouse. Functionality is more important than a freed up USB port. I bought it for the forward/backward buttons specifically. HP used to make wonderful products, but this experience bring that into question now.

Asynchronuous functions don't work in a C# dll used by a CVI application

Hello,
I have an existing application written with CVI 9.0.1, which have to interact with a C# 2010 dll (which doesn't have any window) via a CVI<->.net wrapper (created using the usefull .net controller of CVI).
This C# dll uses asynchronuous functions, like NetworkStream.BeginRead() and EndRead() functions of a System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient object for example.
These asynchronuous functions work fine when the C# dll is used by a C# application (having a main window) or when the C# dll is converted in a standalone C# program (having a main window with buttons, to call its methods, just to try), but asynchronuous functions don't work when my C# dll is called by my CVI application (which is my goal): execution stays inside NetworkStream.BeginRead() for example (for the concerned thread).
NetworkStream.BeginRead() can be successfully bypassed by using the synchronuous function NetworkStream.Read() instead, but the C# dll uses others asynchronuous functions wich have no associated synchronuous functions.
Here is a portion of C# code (I don't have the source code for the Snmp object ; got_trap() method is never called when asynchonuous calls don't work):
public void run() // the thread
Snmp snmp = null;
try
  snmp = new Snmp(true);
  snmp.NotifyListenPort = 162;
  snmp.NotifyRegister(null, null, new NotifyCallback(got_trap), CB_DATA_);
  isActive = true;
  Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);
Thinking it could be a problem with window messages which could be not processed (in the C# dll), I tried to replace the Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite) instruction, in the code where the asynchronuous management take place, by a window creation plus my Win32 window message loop, but asynchronuous functions don't work better (whereas my loop seems to successfully process messages):
Form myForm = new Form(); // an empty window
myForm.Show();
int bRet;
MSG msg = new MSG();
while ((bRet = GetMessage(out msg, IntPtr.Zero, 0, 0)) != 0)
    if (bRet == -1)
       // handle the error and possibly exit
    else
      switch (msg.message)
      default: // everything else
        TranslateMessage(ref msg);
        DispatchMessage(ref msg);
        break;
Any idea ?
Thank you,
rvfr.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Solved: in fact, the snmp assembly that I was using just needed to be dotNet registered.

IOS6 Headset / Headphone "Skip to the next chapter" & "Return to the previous chapter" functions don't work in the Music App

"Skip to the next chapter" & "Return to the previous chapter" functions don't work in the iOS 6 Music App when listening to Podcasts and Audiobooks through Headsets (Apple & 3rd party), Speaker Docks, and in my autos handsfree bluetooth system (Ford Sync).
Listening with the Podcasts App allows "Skip" and "Return" to work. So, this is either a bug or Apple is forcing the use of the Podcast App to get the "Skip" & "Return" controls. All the other headset functions work as designed.
I listen to news Podcasts in chronological order. In iTunes I set up smart playlists sorted by release date for the podcasts. The Podcast App doesn't support playlists therefore I need to use the Music App.
Is anyone able to get "Skip" and "Return" to work in the Music app?
Thanks for any insight!

Javascript functions don't work

Hi,
I have just tried the following code putting the script
header to execute it on the client side:
<script>
if(ParentValue == String("Y"))
EnableSubGroup();
else
DisableSubGroup();
</script>
I do not get the object expected error anymore
but the functions don't work, why is this?
----Function definition ------
<script type="text/javascript">
function EnableSubGroup()
document.forms["SubForm"].elements["SubGroupDD"].disabled='false';
function DisableSubGroup()
document.forms["SubForm"].elements["SubGroupDD"].disabled='true';
</script>
Thanks

onload=function(){
document.forms["SubForm"].elements["SubGroupDD"].disabled =
!(ParentValue == "Y")
This will disable SubGroup if "ParentValue" is not "Y"

Edit menu functions don't work

Has anyone experienced, upon installing DW8, the "copy",
"cut" & "paste" functions not working? I installed the app to a
new laptop (worked fine on the old desktop). Neither "ctrl>C",
nor Edit>Copy seem to work. This is only in DW. No problem in
Fireworks, or any other application. Tried overwriting the
Confiurations folder with the desktop data, still no luck.
Anyone else ever have this problem?

I'm having the same problem. I get this error message
"While executing DWMenu_Edit_Copy command in menus.xml.the
following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
TypeError: MM.event has no properties"
Have you been able to fix your problem?

What is under the switches tab?
Oh -- By the way, that picture is over the size limit defined in the forum rules in tems of pixels, but the file size is okay. I'll let it slide. Watch the bumping as well.
If you want to post the switches tab, upload it to someplace like http://img3.imageshack.us/, copy the thumbnail (which has the link to the original) back here, and you are golden.
I had a bear of a time getting the microphone working on my HP DV4, but it does work. I'll look at the set up when I get home tonight [USA-PDT].
Sorry for the picture and the "bumping"... I have asked in irc in arch and alsa channels and no luck yet... one guy from alsa said I had to wait for the alsa-driver-1.0.24 package (currently I have alsa-driver-1.0.23) but it is weird because the microphone worked some months ago...
So here is what it is under the switches tab

5800 expressmusic functions don't work after updat...

Hi!
I bought my 5800 expressmusic, and was glad for it, until i updated it first time. After the first update all the shortcuts and functoins on the background didn't work. I could live with that, so I waited for the next update.
Now i've updated it again, now the functions didn't work before, they work now, but now the musicplayer don't work probably. I can go into the musicplayer, but when i try to update the library and get the music from my SD card into the player like I used to do.. It only finds about 20 songs of 180 songs..
Anybody now how I can solve this problem?
Thanks

it's usually good to do a reset after an update;
Soft reset (reformat). Type *#7370# and the phone's lock code (Nokia default lock code is 12345). Soft reset wipes the C drive.

Functions don't work after swf loops

I have a five mouse click functions, each with a different navigateToURL link, and each one appears on a different key frame. The probelm is that once the end of the swf is reached and it loops, it gets stuck on the last function and therefor only links to that last URL.
Is there a way to reset functions at the begining? Or is there a better way to do this?
Thanks.
Code from one of my keyframes:
First_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onMouseClickFirst);
function onMouseClickFirst(e:MouseEvent):void
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest('http://FirstLink.com'));

On the button code you are waiting for a particular button to be pressed: myButton.addEventListener, right.This means there's a listener waiting for myButton to do something, in this case it is waiting for myButton to perform a CLICK event. It doesn't matter that the code isn't in the same keyframe as the button itself. If you have your button on the stage and you have given it an instance name, then your function will be called on the click, if your button is within a movie clip on the stage, then you can add to your event listener: myMovieClip.myButton.addEventListener and the click will still register the event.
If you want to create one function that will work for all buttons then you need to do a couple of things to set it up.
Create an object that stores all your buttons in it:
private var BUTTONS = {
        playButton:'PLAY',
        pauseButton:'PLAY',
        prevButton:'PREV',
        muteButton:'MUTE',
        unmuteButton:'MUTE'
Create a function to add the listener:
private function setButtons()
        for(var itm in BUTTONS)
            if(myMovie[itm])
                myMovie[itm].buttonMode = true;
                myMovie[itm].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
                myMovie[itm].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overHandler);
                myMovie[itm].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outHandler);
Does that help?

Audigy 2ZS PCMCIA notebook card most functions don't work with Vi

As I've found out the hard way many of the features of this card don't work due to Vista, I've spent hours reading the many problems associated with the different cards and vista, I cannot find the recording source Line in with the Creative media source player so I cannot transfer music from cassette?or Vinyl?to MP3 or what ever. The mixer and?equilizer?won't work either, as with the smart management volume normalization, I've reinstalled the drivers as per the advice of many still doesn't solve my problems. Would be nice if some of these feartures worked as that's the reason for buying the card. Don't bother contacting customer support they don't get back to you. Any help out there?

Okay, God knows how it happened but I have sound again
I opened the Creative Audio Console and pushed reestablish standards and now it goes.
I still got a nasty crackling but that's a minor evil

Mouse functions don't work

my mouse functions have stopped working! It doesn't matter what mouse I use - wireless or wired - these are the problems: I cannot click on anything to open or close it. I cannot click on a application on my dock and open it. I cannot drag a file or document on my desktop. I see the cursor moving around the desktop, but it has no effect.
No solution has worked and I've tried many of them.
