Premiere Pro CS3: Can't drag and drop into project window

I had been using PP CS3 with Windows 7 64-bit RC successfully for about half a year. Recently I did a clean install of the final, released version of Win 7, and now I cannot drag and drop into the project window.
I am sure I used to be able to do this. Having to import every clip, instead of just dragging it from Bridge (CS4), is a major headache. Ok, a minor one. But is there anything I can do to regain this capability?
Thanks,
Ken

Can I mark my own post as a "correct answer"?
I just discovered the problem isn't PP CS3 at all.
The problem is Bridge CS4. Or, more accurately, how I am running it.
In order to do drag and drop from Bridge, it needs to be executed in "Run as administrator" mode.
So, fantastic! There is an quick, easy solution that works.

Can't drag and drop into Folder

Greetings... i have been happily going along using iPhoto (6) on a fairly basic level making folders and dragging and dropping but suddenly its changed, i can now only drag and drop into albums.
I will create a folder but can't move anything into it.
This seemed to happen after iPhoto asked would i like things sorted to make it work better , i can't remember the exact wording,i clicked yes and at some point realised my folders had changed to albums into which i can drag and drop but use of folders is now denied.
I would like to know what is going on and why i can no longer do such a simple thing as move photos into a folder.
I have tried using different names for folders from the albums so there wouldn't be confusion but nothing has worked.

Thank you for this answer. I don't have an adequate explanation for why i couldn't remember how things operated on iPhoto. I had been using it successfully for some time but then didn't go into it for a few weeks and obviously had forgotten what i seemed to know earlier on. I created new folders and from there found it didn't work and was puzzled. Thought i had used folders before but i couldn't have or had overcome the problem by myself at that time.

Can't drag-and-drop into applications folder

Just got a new iMac last week, my old ibook finally died. I'm trying to install firefox in the imac and i can't. It downloads fine, I can open up the .dmg file, but then I can't drag the icon into the applications folder. I can drag it, but nothing happens when I try to drop it. I've tried using the alias folder, the folder on the dock, just doing it in the finder window, nothing works! tried re-downloading, everything i can think of. Since it is a new machine, do i have something in preferences set wrong? Help!!!

Do you have "allow user to administer this computer" checked off in your account in System Preferences -> Accounts ?
Also, right click on your Applications folder, and hit "Get Info" Make sure that the group that owns it is "admin" and "admin" has read and write privileges. If it's admin, but it says "read only" click on the lock, put in your password, and flip up the group privs and change it to read and write.
If the group is NOT admin on the Get Info screen, you will need to launch /Applications/Terminal.app and issue this command:
chgrp admin /Applications

Can't drag and drop into Preview's sidebar

Most of the time that I try to drag and drop image into Preview's sidebar (OS10.5.2), it doesn't work -- no cursor, no nothin'. Strangely enough, I can open one or more of the very same images using "open" in the menu, but I can't drag them from one Preview sidebar to another or drag more images in. Even more strangely, some images (very few) DO work perfectly, and I can't find anything at all different about them -- same specs, permissions, etc. as the ones that don't work! The same images that won't work DO work in other programs, like Mail. Did permission repair, all 3rd party stuff turned off...
What else is there that I could check out?

I might be wrong, but ...
I know Microsoft Office 2011 is Mountain Lion compatible. In fact, Microsoft released updates to it right around the time of Mountain Lion's release to assure compatibility.
I do not believe Microsoft Office 2008 is Mountain Lion compatible.

Photo problems and can i drag and drop files using windows explorer?

i can only sync photos frm my com to my touch but i cant choose which photos i want and i tried searching for the files in itunes and i cant find them, thus cant delete them...
on top of that, i can access the files in my touch but cant find any option to delete them...
when i go the photos tab in itunes, it only shows me the window to sync files and the 2nd question too...
because when i drag and drop on itunes, it's quite laggy...and if i use windows explorer to drag and drop, will the duplicates on my playlist appear as 2 files or will it be like itunes where it can detect the main file and simply adds it to the list?
thank you...
sorry for the wall of text...

There's no manual mode for photos just different ways to sync but here's a simple "How To" on managing your photos so that it's easy to add and delete what you want on the iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
5 When you want to change what photos are on the iPod just add or remove the photos from the folder you have made and syncronise the the iPod
You can't drag photos or music to the iPod from Windows Explorer, you have to add content through iTunes or you'll not be able to view or play it.

I can't drag and drop user backdrops into Photo Booth. Help!

Hi there...just this past Monday I bought my first Macbook Pro, and I'm having a little trouble with Photo Booth. I know it's supposed to be easy to drag and drop into the User Backdrop 1, etc, but for some reason I've tried different files and they will not add into the boxes.
So far I've tried adding shots from safari, both by dragging and by saving the image to my desktop. I've also tried to add photos from my iPhoto but to no avail.
If someone can give me some help I'd really appreciate it. I've been searching online for the better part of an hour and it doesn't seem like this is a common problem.
Thanks!

Ok so I figured it out!
It was really quite a simple fix, and I feel ashamed that I couldn't come to this conclusion earlier.
Anyway, for anyone else having this issue, it was because I had Photo Booth in full screen mode. As soon as I got out of that, I was able to add pictures to my user backdrops without a problem.
Super simple.
I hope it helps someone out there.

Can't Drag and Drop with a Double Tap using Single Finger in Lion?

I installed the Mac OS X Lion two days. But I can't drag and drop with a Double tap using Single Finger, which I used to do in Snow Leopard.
If I choose Three Finger Move, then Swap Between Pages goes back to "Scroll left or right with Two Fingers" that only works with Safari, but doesn't work with Chrome or Firefox.
I tried literally every setting in Trackpad and also checked if there was a override settings and there is no overrride setting.
Would be thankful, if you guys could suggest me what to do?
======================================
My Machine Configuration:
Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2010)
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
4GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce 320m
Mac OS X Lion (Installe on a updated Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

Hey Serge many thanks for telling me how to do. now its working like previously
I just cheked the Dragging under Trackpad option and unchecked Three Finger Moves. now I can drag and drop with a double tap using single finger.
Thank you guys. You are the best

Can I drag and drop to copy a dvd

I want to copy a dvd to my macbook pro that's it. I don't want to burn it onto any other blank disk. Can I drag and drop.

In general you can use drag and drop, but it all depends on what is on the DVD.

Can't drag and drop music files

after recent update i can't drag and drop mp3 files into library like before or go file->add file to library

Thanks for the quick response Sebastian.
Yeah, I know I can find the file in finder, but I used to be able to organize all my files in the iTunes interface and easily drag them to my project in AE CS3... so much more convenient.
I tried .aif and .wav files, all formats that AE accepts. Like I mentioned, I used to do this with AE CS3 and my Windows OS... I was just wondering if this was a Mac bug or something. Not the end of the world, but it's little things like this I waste half a day on trying to figure out!! lol.

Wanted to put a file via a drag and drop into applications on my finder sidebar. it missed and landed in the sidebar itself. i can not remove it. i can not even highlight it. how can i remove it from the sidebar.

Try holding down the Command key and dragging the file well off the sidebar.
Hope this helps.

I can't drag and drop iTunes music files into Roxio Jam 6 anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the " " or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? G5 Dual 2 Ghz and OS 10.4.11

Hi. I have not used Roxio Jam for quite a long time and I just wanted to make a few CDs. Jam used to work easily and well. I have a problem. I can't drag and drop iTunes music files anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the "+" or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? I trashed the preferences file and restarted Jam to no avail. I also have selected that Jam should open files with iTunes in the Jam preferences. I have a G5 DP 2Ghz PPC machine with OS 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 and Quicktime's version is 7.6.4. I have 2 GB of RAM and the machine has dual 1.25 Ghz. processors plus a 500 GB HD. Can anybody give me any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

I found an solution.
Uninstalling AirParrot as well as the two offending AirParrotDriver.kext and APExtFramebuffer.kext files in System>Library>Extensions was the fix. All problems disappeared.

Can't drag and drop folders in Mail

I have a lot of folders in Mail, and I can only drag and drop a folder among the set of folders that is visible at a given time. If I need to drag the folder up or down, to an area that must be scrolled to, it does not work. This started when I upgraded to Yosemite.

It means don't open the Contacts app, open in in Mail: ⌥⌘A
I found another solution: type the name of the address group I need in the to: field.
Thank you anyway.
