Problem with inability to move items around with mouse

I have a problem moving items with a mouse (wireless or wired), wacam pen/mouse, etc. It can be a file/folder on the desktop or a mail message in Entourage. I can click on the file on the desktop and try to move to the trash and nothing happens other than the icon is highlighted. If I try to move a mail message from my Inbox to another mailbox, I get an error message, "The action could not be completed. An unknown error (-4960) occurred." If I reboot, the problem goes away but will come back within a day or two.
Any suggestions as to the cause and solution?

Welcome to the Apple boards.
I have experienced what you describe once and it was not good at all. I was unable to drag any folder or icon around and I could not write to the drive at all. The problem was a corrupt data structure file.
This may be something totally unrelated to what I experienced but it is worth checking out and make sure you back up your data right away. If you open disk utility (applications/utilities) and click on your drive does it say S.M.A.R.T. Verified. verified is ok, but if it says anything else the drive is likely about to die.
Again, if it is something totally unrelated, I'm sure someone else here will be able to help. If the problem you have occurs for all users make sure to back up your important data.

  • Problems when trying to move a paragraph with a heading to the next page

    When i try to move a paragraph with a heading (generally style 2) to the next page by pressing the enter key, rather than the whole paragraph moving to the top of the next page it moves to pretty well every where but the top. i have attached a video because im sure what i have said doesn't make much sense.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrlnsmLIDGk&feature=youtubegdataplayer
    i have talked to an apple technician through apple care and we came to the conclusion after reseting iwork to default settings still with no changes all i could do was completely remove iwork from my computer and try to start over. Or come to the forums to see if there is a work around.

    Hi Jared,
    Without commentary, or other explanation, it's difficult to determine what actions you are taking to produce the results in the video.
    In the first instance, it appears that you have placed the insertion point at the beginning of the line following the header, then pressed and held return. this action pushes that line (and anything below it) down until it crosses the page boundary and jumps to a second page. That's expected behaviour.
    At approximately 0:57, you have deleted the return characters, returning the first and second lines after the header to a position immediately following the header. The insertion point is then moved to the point at the beginning of the header line, and returns are inserted as before. About 1:04, a number of unreadable alert boxes appear. At 1:07, the second line below the heading moves to the second page, followed by the first line, then by the heading itself at about 1:10. Again this is expected behaviour.
    Only after that are there any 'odd' behaviours, and without knowing what actions you are taking to produce those oddities, it's (at least) difficult to say what is causing the results you see.

  • HT201406 I purchased a new iPad 3. When viewing Facebook photos a white ring in the center of the photo appears randomly. I can move photo around with finger and one ring stays in center of screen even on blank part of screen. Help.

    Has anyone experienced a white ring ( like a Cheerios or life saver candy shape)  frozen in center of screen when viewing Facebook photos? You ca move the picture around with your finger, even minimize it and the ring is in the center of the screen. It is random not on all photos as you swipe through them. Could be on any profile photos. When you click done and go back into photos it disappears on the photo or photos that had it previous , but may sow up again on other photos . Again it's a perfect shaped white ring in center of screen. Only on Facebook.

    Not familiar with that but it is worth trying a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • How can I rearrange pages in a PDF portfolio in XI? When I try to move items, they pop right back...

    According to they tutorial I should be able to move items around in the lower bar in edit mode, but I get a circle with a stike through when I try to grab anything. Any body have any idea??

    Hi,
    My question also!  You don't seem to be able to drag and drop that I can see.  I've found a work around from a book.  I'm not great at describing it but you may get the idea.
    In the specify file button on the right when you have the portfolio open in edit mode.  You want to add a column to display, name it 'order' and choose number to the right, then hit the 'plus' button.  Then check only 'order' in the list of how to sort.
    Then go to the column in the list view, and click on the space to the right of the document icon and under order, and put a numbers in the order you want the document to be, like 1, 2, etc.
    Then you can sort in the order you want.
    Anyone else have the answer?  I wonder why you can't drag and drop here.
    I keep thinking there is an easier way!

  • InDesign won't let me move items!!

    Hey there,
    So I am a graphic designer and have been doing it for years and am pretty confident with InDesign but it just recently did something the other day that it never did before. All of the content and items in InDesign is stuck in place. I can't move anything by clicking and dragging with my mouse or mouse pad. The only way I can move items is with the arrow keys. I can however select and resize. Nothing is locked and there is only one layer. From what I have already researched I was told to shift, control, alt, command right when opening InDesign and reset the preferences. I've done that and uninstalled and reinstalled the software. What is there to do now?

    First things first, when you used the keyboard shortcut to reset preferences, did you get a dialog box asking if you wanted to reset your preferences with YES and NO buttons that you needed to click before InDesign would open? If you didn't get this dialog box, then your preferences were not affected.
    You have to do this quickly after double clicking the ID application icon. You may need to do this several times until you actually get the dialog box.
    Secondly, does this affect all existing ID documents?
    If it is only this one document, you can export to IDML and then open this in ID to remove any minor corruption.
    If you create a brand new document does it still exist?
    Also be aware that reinstalling InDesign does NOT reset/replace your existing preferences which may still be corrupted.

  • In Finder since 10.8.3 – delay when quickly moving items around

    I think this is new since the Finder of OS X 10.8.3. It's kind of hard to explain, but here goes:
    If one triest to move items around quickly after each other, there's like a second delay before you can do the second ”grab”.
    Like this: click and drag any item (a file or folder) you have on the desktop, then quickly after releasing it click and drag that same file/folder again or another file and try to move it. There will be a delay before the comand responds. If moving several files quickly after each other this can be a bit irritating.
    I don't think this was the case before, in 10.8.2 and earlier?

    From the Finder menu bar, select
    View > Show View Options
    Is the box marked
    Show Preview Column
    checked? If not, check it.

  • Lost ability to move items between spaces with gestures after 10.7 download.  Setting issue or glitch?

    I downloaded OSX 10.7.2 like the rest of the world and besides icloud conversion issues I noticed that I could not move items (files, jpg's, etc.,) from one "Space" (desktop) to another.  I've gone through all the "gesture" settings in the System prefs and there's nothing to do with it.  Using the key fuctions (Control + 1, 2, 3) still allows for moving objects while you have it selected, however if you select any object with the trackpad no gestures work.  Anyone else seen this issue? Is there a setting that I've missed?

    I have absolutely the same problem since the last update. However I really think it is a glitch, because after stubbornly trying dragging a file while using the multi gestures I discovered the following:
    • It works only if you grab the file in the moment you use the multi gesture. It’s like a cat and mice game :D, I wouldn’t say it is a workaround, but just a proof that probably they will fix it.

  • Can I move photos around in iPad?  There are some photos in camera roll, are those the ones I took with iPad?  Then there are some that are imported-I guess those are the ones from my camera.  Can I combine them into different albums?  Thanks

    Can I mover photos around in iPad?  There are photos on the camera roll-are those the ones I took with iPad?  Then there are the ones labeled as imported-I guess those are the ones I took with my camera?  Can I combine pictures from both into one album?  Thanks.

    At the moment no, you cannot move photos between albums in the Photos app directly on the iPad - but with iOS 5 (which will be free to download) in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device.

    2014 .3 is much too buggy and full of error messages. Creating problems as I am on a timeline with my client and I don't have time to fool around with all the problems.

    You didn't mention what error(s) you've encountered? A workaround for the most commonly hit problem is here Re: error in Muse : Object UID:U6875 has two (or more) owners: U3633 and U3165
    If you have a copy of your .muse file that has not been saved using 2014.3, you can downgrade by uninstalling Muse and then choose Previous Version in the Filters drop down in the Apps panel of the Creative Cloud desktop app. There will be a popup next to Muse where you can select a prior version to install.

  • I have a problem regarding sales order line item with confimed quanity

    Hi Experts,
    I have a problem regarding sales order line item with confimed quanity with '0'  with delivery block but confirming the sales order quantity once the order is released from credit check.
    The situation arises as per the below scenarios.
    Scenario - 1 -  When the sales order has two line item - one line item with confirmed qunaity in the schedule line and for the 2nd line item there is no available stock for the Material xxxxxx.
    Initially the sales order is created for the line item 2 with confirmed quantity = 0, and having the delivery block = 01 for the Material xxxxxx  and the order is set with credit check.  Once the order is relased from the credit check.  The quanity for the item 2 where the confirmed quantity will be = 0 ( Where it is not changing the confirmed quantity)
    Scenario -2-  Updating the order qunaity for the line item 2 as (9Pcs) it will goes to credit check and save the order.
    Maintain the stock for the line item 2 ( 5 Pcs).
    Once the order is released from the credit check.  Then  for the line item 2 the confirm quanity will be seting to 5 Pcs with Delivery blcok 01.
    This should not happen, When the credit check is released even though if it has stock based on the delivery blockl it should set the confirmed quanity to Zero.
    Can you please help me how to solve this issue.
    Looking forward for your reply.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi,
    I agree with your point.  In the sales order When the complete delivery check box is enabled where the confimed qty is set to zero, it is fine but when we save the orderr it goes to credit check.  Once we release the order using VKM3 where in the sales order the confimed quantity is setting to 5,  But it should set to Zero quantity.  Quatity should not be get confirmed it should be Zero Quantity. 
    Further in SPRO - customizing in the deliveries blocking reasons - It has a tick mark in the confirmation blcok.  But we dont want to remove the - Confirmation Block tick mark
    Please any one can help me if you have any solution to solve this problem.
    Thanks and Regards.

  • Problem with status-button in item view of ME21/22/23N

  • Problem with non loading movie clips in CS3

    Hi.
    I am making an animation ( Trailer for an upcoming handheld
    game i am working on ).
    And i have encountered a problem when i play back the
    animation with Flash player.
    There is two movie clips in the animation ( Normal vector
    drawing but with effects applied on it ( color adjustment , and
    blur ) ) and when i play the published swf back with flash player
    the two movie clips are in their normal Vector mode ( without the
    filters ) until the middle of the animation when they finally
    "load" , the filters finally have an effect on the two vector
    drawings.
    i use a very high end computer so that couldn't be it.
    And when i am going to upload the flash film there's going to
    be a loading screen ... i have no clue if it's going to fix this.
    But for now this is really odd and looks really awkward.
    If this problem persist i will not make the deadline. please
    help fast.
    Thanks everybody.
    -Jimmy Gonzo
    EDIT: oh and i also noticed that when the stuff isn't loaded
    yet... the animation goes too fast.

    It seems to me that you need to put a preloader in the first
    frame of your whole .fla. It seems that all your assets are not
    being loaded before the .swf playhead moves forward.
    A simple preloader could be something like:
    frame 1 label this as "preloader"
    frame 2 (insert the following commands)
    if (this._framesloaded >= this._totalframes) {
    this.gotoAndPlay("init");
    }else{
    this.gotoAndPlay("preloader");
    }

    Restart your phone,hold the home button and the off button down till the apple symbol comes up. If that doesnt fix it , you need to do a restore in itunes by connecting to itunes , click on your phones name to the left, then click restore in the center of the screen and restore from backup.

  • I have a problem with my new ipad air 64g with cellular. When I off my ipad for a long period of time ( around 2 hours), my ipad air freeze. Nothing is showing on screen with any button except by pressing reboot (home   on/off button)

    I have a 64GB iPad Air WiFi+Cellular (Verizon), and I don't see the issues you are describing.  First I would suggest that you update your iPad to the newest iOS update.  If that doesn't help, then you may want to schedule an appointment at an Apple Genius Bar.  If you go this route, I suggest that you let the iPad sleep for long enough for the problem to arise before you go to your appointment.
