Jerky when clicking and dragging

I am running into something and I hope you can help as it is
really slowing me down.
When I put a caption box (or anything else for that matter)
on the screen and then click and drag to move it around just as I
would a text box in PowerPoint, it is very jerky. The more objects
I am trying to move the worse the problem. Question slides are the
worst. For example if I highlight the four buttons and try to move
them, the cursor moves easily to the new position but then it may
take 3-4 seconds for the buttons to move. Additionally, it seems
that the longer the presentation, the worse the problem gets. The
presentation size is 19,000 K before sound.
This is driving me crazy. Any thoughts? Or any additional
info you need?
My PC is a Dell Precision 470: Dual 3.20 GHz Processors w/2MB

Hi gbcvette
You might double check to see if you have the "snap to grid"
option enabled. To do this, click View and see if there is a check
mark next to "Snap to grid".
Even if that's the case, I'm doubtful it will do much to
smooth things out when editing Question slides. It's been my
experience that often when you edit these beasties, things sort of
just go into Super Slow Mo mode. Not sure why.
Cheers... Rick

Error message when click and dragging music to ipod

I purchased a song on itunes, it downloaded, but when I clicked and dragged to my music under "Jen's ipod" (like I've done a hundred times), I get this message "Never Again" was not copied to "Jen's ipod" because you are not authorized to play it on this computer. What in the heck does that mean? I have my setting's marked so that I can manually manage music and videos, and I've done it for every other song I've bought. Let me know if you can help.
Thanks

InDesign CC crash when clicking and dragging

I've had a really huge issue the last two days with InDesign CC. Every file I open, or, new file I create, it crashes the program immediately when I attempt to click and drag -anything-
I am able to use the type tool, access all the drop down menus and so forth. The program launches, it allowed me to double click to select type and then copy / paste it. (Thank god since I spent an hour typing it...)
However, If I try to move anything, text frame, object, empty frame, etc, instant crash.
I tried to take the steps to clear the preferences and recovery items, as is listed as a fix for these kinds of crashes. I went so far as to remove the related folders entirely. This worked. For about five minutes. Then it was right back to crashing went I tried to nudge anything.
I actually just totally uninstalled InDesign CC and reinstalled it fresh, it's still happening.
I am running on MacBook Pro, Mid 2012
2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
OS X 10.9.2 Maverick
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
Suggestions, would be really appreciated =(

I think I know the solution to the problem (for me anyway)!
I have been plagued by this CC problem for months with Illustrator, In Design and Photoshop. I even bought a new machine because of the stress it caused me, and not to mention the lost work hours!!!! But since buying the new machine and having it happen again, and again and again, I have ruled out all font, software, plugin conflicts - because there is nothing on my machine that was on the old one. All of my old files are on an external hard drive and I have had Illustrator CC crash several times with the hard drive ejected. This is what leads me to think (in my case at least) that the machine/files/plugins are not the problem. Here's what has worked for me, and where I think my problem stems from:
CC membership allows you to run the Adobe applications on 2 machines, in most people's cases that's home and office. I have two machines; one for work with one set of preferences that my CC account was made with, and another machine at home that is shared and has an entirely different set of preferences.
When an Illustrator file is left open on my work machine (the machine that the CC account was created on) with a long period of inactivity (e.g. over a weekend) Illustrator CC on my home machine crashes constantly (as soon as I try to move an object it crashes). As soon as Illustrator CC is closed down on my work machine, Illustrator CC on my home machine is then fine! And then both machines will the run Illustrator CC again simultaneously until the work machine is left for another long period of inactivity (a couple of days). Then, when it is, my home machine crashes again.
I also noticed that each time Illustrator CC asked me to send a crash report from my home machine to Adobe it would pull the email from the preferences on my home machine, not the email that the CC account was made with (which is the email on my work machine). It could be that leaving Illustrator CC/any of the CC apps open and inactive for a couple of days causes some kind of 'time out' period on the account.
This could explain why Illustrator CC would work again on my home machine (briefly) when trashing the account preferences.
So to re-cap I have solved my seemingly inexplicable problem by making sure that Illustrator CC is not left open for long periods of inactivity (2 days seems to be the threshold) on one machine, if the account is being shared across two machines.
Please let me know if this A. makes sense and B. helps anyone.

Illustrator CS6 crashes when click-and-drag to move object.

Running 16.0.5 on a retina MBP OSX 10.9.5. Every time I try to drag an object to move it, Illustrator crashes. I can click on an object/points and move with my keyboard arrow keys, but cannot with mouse or trackpad. I reimaged my machine, with all fresh installs of CS, but problem still persists. Any leads to a solution are appreciated.

The issue may be caused by the Chrome Pushbullet extension, see this post #3 by Matt with the solution,

Vera,
Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list.

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!!

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).

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 7520 ... pretty new. Sometimes when I download a CD / album to my library acouple of tracks get separated away from the main group. I've tried to click and drag the stragglers over to the main group but it doesn't work. Any Ideas

.When installing a CD/album into my library some of the tracks get separated away from the main group of tracks. I try to click and drag the stragglers to the main group but it doesn't work. My laptop is using Windows 8. My old XP laptop didn't have this problem. I'm not sure if that has any thing to do with it. Any ideas would be appreciated. It's more of an irritation than a problem but if it can be solved, it would be a good thing. Thanks! Paul

Hey Paul,
If I understand correctly, it sounds like iTunes is not grouping the songs from a particular CD together. The cause could be something as minor as a misspelling or slight variations. For more information, see the following resource:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

I am unable to click and drag some songs to a playlist I just created. There is a red circle with a line diagonal through it when I attempt to drag it to the playlist?

I am unable to add some songs to a playlist. There is a red circle with a line diagnonally through it that appears when I click and drag to the new playlist.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

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!

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.

Double-click and drag don't open image files

Hi,
I'm having problems loading images in Preview and Adobe apps (CS1).
From Finder, I can double click to open an image in Preview but it only opens the first image, and won't load more than one. I've tried changing the preferences to "open groups of images in the same window" or "open all images in one window." Neither solve the problem.
My adobe apps won't open a file when I double click it from the finder at all. I have to use the "open" command from within the application to open an image file.
I am a designer and photographer trying to browse groups of images at once and this is driving me crazy! I have tried copying over different preference files from my old computer (a powerbook G4), and I'm wondering if I either failed to copy the right one or copied something that is interfering with the shortcut actions.
The interesting part is, that the same actions are working fine for other kinds of files -- for example, I can open multiple word documents by double clicking their icons in Finder.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you.
Amy Hengst

Hi Amy
What kind of files are these? If I wanted to open multiple images in Preview (be they BMP, JPEG, PSD, whatever) I would select them and drag onto the Preview icon in the Dock which opens the first image in a single window with the remaining images in a 'thumbnail drawer' to the right (like you get with big PDF documents).
On the other hand if I double-click, 10 to 1 it would launch Photoshop which I use as an image editor only, not an image manager or viewer. You can of course change the application which any document uses to open it, with the Get Info window. But if you use more than one application (as I do - PS to edit, Preview to just view), then click-and-drag onto the Dock might be your best bet.

On OSX 10.5.8 and I can't cut & paste or click and drag, HELP!

Hi all,
Please help! I can no longer click and drag icons or cut and paste. I'm running OSX 10.5.8 on an '07 macbook, and I really do not want to loose everything, is there a solution??? At the same time I have had a little trouble with the net and downloading files.
Is there a fix?? I'm desparate

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
