Problems moving layers

I've been an Elements user for 10 years, using PE12 since June. I just recently had a problem moving layers both within and between files. When working on a file if I try to drag and drop a layer it just snaps back to where it was. I can move the layers with the arrow keys but this takes entirely to long. I don't understand why this just now started happening. I can open my previous version, PE 6 and move layers as I always did but since I paid to upgrade to PE12 it would be nice to be able to use it. Any input on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Kirsten

Problem moving filter between layers

I'm having a problem moving and pasting a filter from one layer to another. Initially, I had a light rays filter applied to the Layer, effecting all the objects (text, a video file, and a particle effect) on the layer. The problem I discovered was for some reason, when applying the filter to the entire layer, it caused the video file to jitter. Applying the filter directly to the video file eliminates the problem, but then I have to apply the filter individually to each, and if I want to adjust it's keyframes it's a pain. Any ideas?
My second issue when I paste a filter to a layer, it pastes in and shows in the layers palatte and appears listed on the timeline, but it doesn't actually appear on the timeline. In other words, the solid bar that represents the filter in the timeline is not present, and no adjustment of the in and out on the inspector makes it visible.
Any help you can provide on these two issues is much appreciated.

Moving layers and adjusting perspective

Hi there,
I am wondering if it is possible to move each layer to that
they do not overlap. I also want to be able to move the layer in 3D
like in after effects. the reason is I want to have each layer
represent each face of a 3D cube.
For instance. A cube as 3 visible faces so there are 3
layers. Is it possible to move layers around like that and adjust
their perspective?

Wow, that was kind of an over the top response...
Many of the files I'm using were made in CS4 and didn't have this problem. I updated to CS6 about a month ago. The same files, that worked perfectly in CS4 are having this issue in CS6. It's not about the files - it's about CS6.
Maybe I worded my post wrong. The point I was trying to make is - something is wrong in SC6 Photoshop that's not unique to me or my files. A lot of other people I know complain of the same thing.
I was trying to highlight that this is an unaccepatble issue for software at this cost. And that it's a really, really big deal. What is more fundamental than moving layers?
From the volume of posts I see and the lack of an actual solution, my assumption is that there is not one and that this is a program flaw. I hope Adobe can adress this in an update soon.
If that is wrong and there is a true "solve", please advise.
On a side note. I'm an Creative Director doing web based work. The files are 72dpi. And this issue occurs when dragging / moving simple layers. They are not huge files or items that require substantial redraw.

Photoshop CS3 crashes a lot when moving layers - Help.

Using:
MAC OS 10.5.4
Photoshop 10.0.1
MacBook Pro, 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 668 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
My crashes are very specific. When I move a layer around in the layers palette, Photoshop will crash. It doesn't always crash when moving layers, but it does happen a lot!
Anyone have the same problem? Any solutions?
Thanks so much.

CS6 dead slow moving layers and groups

I have this brand new PC, got it last week, i7 core, SSD drive, 16gb ram.
When I open my PSD doc with my design (approx 43mb psd file) then the photoshop application spikes in memory usage, to 3.5gb (from 120mb), and moving groups and layers around is DEAD SLOW, horrible lag.
I had CS3 on my previous PC, which was Core2 Duo with 4gb ram, and the speeds there were similar on the same psd document.
I've also tried CS5.1 on a similar PC hardware specs as my new PC, and moving groups and layers around is much faster.
Is it just CS6? Why is this so slow?

Keeping the folder you are moving to the far left will do the trick.

A Problem with Layers

I am having a problem with layers in different browsers. I
have a menubar with some drop-down items. Some of these need to
fall over other page objects such as GIFs. The problem is that in
order for that to render correctly in IE, I have to set the z-index
of the GIF to -1. However a GIF set to -1 doesn't render at all in
Netscape. If I set the z-index to 0 it works fine in Netscape but
not in IE. Has anyone dealt with this problem???

Ugh. You are in deep doody.
Your only option now is to hack mm_menu.js, and change all
instances of -
z-index="1"
to -
z-index="99"
But - perhaps it would help if you read what the 'author' of
that menu code
(he adapted it, actually) says about the menus -

I am having a problem moving files from a iMac in location mac in another location. I have tried using Dropbox and the Public folder in the i disc. When I drag the files into dropbox they become alias' and I can't open them at the other end beca

I am having a problem moving files from an imac in one location to an imac inanother location. I have tried using Dropbox which is installed in both locations but when i drad a file ino yhe app it becomes an alias. When I get to the other location it says I can't open the file because the " original application that created it is not present". This is despite the fact that the app that created both files is installed in both computers. If I use the Public folder in the idisc, when I get to the other location the file isn't there. Am I forgetting to turn something on or off? Should I manually sync the Public folder and if so how? Thanks

I am having a problem moving across cells in Microsoft Excel. When I use the arrow keys, the sheet moves, instead of moving to the next cell. Would anyone have any thoughts on this, please?

Hi,
Did you find a way to solve your problem ? We have exactly the same for one application and we are using the same version of HFM : 11.1.2.1.
This problem is only about webforms. We can correctly input data through Data Grids or Client 32.
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Problems moving an object with the selection tool

Im working on CS2 and since last week I have a problem moving objects with the selection tool: To move the object I am obligate to select the object first, and then click at the edge/stroke of the object to drag it. Before that I could move the objects just by selecting somewhere in the object and then just drag it to some other place in one step. I think I maybe changed something in the general preferences....

Ho thanks a lot Kurt!!!!! Indeed, that was the problem!!! Finally I can work normally again.... (the joker was me...but not on purpose)
Thanks again!

Problems moving edited photos onto a new document.

Problems Moving iTunes Library To Another PC

Hi All -
I'm having problems moving my iTunes Library to another PC.
OBJECTIVE
I have a new PC, and I want to move my iTunes library off my old and onto the new. I want to be sure that I get all of the music and videos that I have both purchased and loaded. Total library size 132 GB.
MY CURRENT SETUP
o Old PC - Windows XP
o My current iTunes Library is not in the default location; my C: drive was too small, and I installed a separate data disk quite some time ago
o All of my files (music, videos, apps, etc.) are consolidated in the new library location.
WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR
o Researched to find out how to copy my library to a new PC - from Apple's site
o Copied my iTunes library directory to an external disk.
o Installed iTunes on the new PC
o Opened iTunes on the new PC and changed the location of the library to a secondary data disk.
o Closed iTunes
o Copied my iTunes libaray from the external disk to the new PC library.
o Opened iTunes - where the heck is my stuff?!?
o Research ... i need the .itl file
o Apparently the itl file was not in the directory structure when I copied my library onto the external disk.
o Find the itl file ... copy the itl file ... open iTunes while holding down the <SHIFT> key
o Point to the new itl file which is now co-located w/ all of my content.
o iTunes shows my stuff, but when I click on one of the items, it tells me the file it not found.
Clearly I'm missing a step somewhere. I just want to move all my stuff, lock-stock-and-barrel, to a new installation of iTunes, on a new PC, into a library location other than the default.
Help!
Thanks.

With iTunes closed, copy the files iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork from C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Music\iTunes into G:\ - Note that sentinel is a hidden file so use Tools > Folder Options > View > Show hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer to reveal it. The iTunes Music Library.xml file and Previous iTunes Libraries folder won't be needed.
Press & hold down shift as you click the icon to launch iTunes. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library, click choose and browse to G:\iTunes Library.itl
Check that you can play a file or two. Close iTunes
Rename G:\iTunesLibrary as G:\iTunes Media
Launch iTunes. Check under Edit > Preferences > Advanced that the media folder has been automatically updated to G:\iTunes Media. If not, use the Change... button to correct it. Don't consolidate files if prompted. Close iTunes, then reopen. Check that you can play media.
Close iTunes. Create a folder called G:\iTunes. Move the files iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library.xml, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folders Album Artwork & iTunes Media inside G:\iTunes.
Press & hold down shift as you click the icon to launch iTunes. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library, click choose and browse to G:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
Check under Edit > Preferences > Advanced that the media folder has been automatically updated to G:\iTunes\iTunes Media. If not, use the Change... button to correct it. Don't consolidate files if prompted. Close iTunes, then reopen.
Check that you can play media. You're done....This library can now be connected to any computer and you can use the shift-start-iTunes method to connect to it. whatever drive letter is provided.
If the media won't play at any stage stop, check that you've followed the steps properly or ask for help.

Problems moving app from tomcat 321 to 4.0

I have serious problems moving an old app from tomcat 321 to 4.0. I tried just moving the entire webapps/<myApp> to the new server, and also using a war-file, but I get a message saying that one of my Beans doesn't exist.
Its a bean in the /WEB-INF/classes subdir, so its in an annonymous package. The jsp-page accessing it uses the
<jsp:useBean id="dateBean" class="DateBean" scope="session" />
tag.
Error message from jsp-page says: org.apache.jsp.DateBean not found.
Seems my tomcat4 doesn�t use the web-inf/classes in its classpath???
regards
Markus

I don't believe the current Servlet specs allow for anonymous packages. Try moving your class into its own package (under WEB-INF/classes/packagename/) and see if that fixes the problem. Also be sure to change the <jsp:useBean> tag to give the full classname in the class attribute.
