Suddenly unable to drag objects

I installed Muse 2 days ago and I've had 3-4 instances where everything will work perfectly and suddenly I'm unable to drag objects. I can select and re-size them, so the objects aren't locked, but I can't drag and re-position anything (text, boxes, etc.). If I exit out of the program and re-open it, the problem is temporarily fixed (until it happens again after ~30 minutes of use).
Does anyone else have this problem? Is it a bug or am I repeatedly & accidentally toggling some feature that I'm unaware of?

Yup that's a bug. From what we can tell, something goes wrong on one drag operation and after that, we can't start another drag. Quit and relaunch is the only alternative.
So far we don't have any reproducible cases to help us track this down, since it happens to you fairly regularly any information you can provide would be helpful: Mac or Windows?
What sort of drag was the last one to succeed before they stopped working, and what was the first to fail? Reposition something, drag in an image to load the place gun, etc...
Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience...

Adobe creative suite cs5: unable to open files in photoshop. unable to drag objects on illustrator..

Adobe creative suite cs5: unable to drag objects on illustrator or indesign. unable to open files in photoshop, brush doesnt work in photoshop.
In the past I uninstalled adobe creative suite cs5 from my laptop, used the adobe creative cloud cleanup tool, restarted and then reinstalled the programs and everything worked again for about a week. Now everything has gone back to the way it was again and this time the uninstalling and reinstalling isnt helping.
Any ideas?
Im pretty desperate!!
Thanks
Alisa

Hi Alisa
I'm having exactly the same problem. Uninstalled CS4 and reinstalled the 30 day trial of the Creative Cloud and it's stil having the same glitches, not opening in photoshop and not being able to drag/move objects in Illustrator or inDesign.
Did you find a solution to this problem?
Thanks

Illustrator and InDesign Unable to drag objects

I have suddenly become unable to drag items in InDesign and Illustrator. I may mention at the same time my Photoshop is not working either. I solved these problems two weeks ago by uninstalling Adobe Creative Suite CS5, running adobe cloud cleanup tool, restarting the computer and then reinstalling the programs. However within the week the problem came back again and this solution is no longer working!
Any suggestions of what could be going wrong??! (im pretty desparate!)

Thank you for your quick response!
I cannot drag an image, text, simple shapes etc. By drag, I mean select the object in order to move it. I am able to move it using the arrow keys or the "transform" window, but I cannot move it by selecting it with my mouse and dragging it.

Captivate 8, HTML5: Unable to drag objects using the index.html

Using Captivate 8 and publishing to SWF and HTML5. In the published index.html file, I'm unable to drag anything in my drag and drop interaction.
Disabled Master Slide Objects on Top
Accept All disabled in Accepted Drag Sources
Set opacity of drop targets to 0%
The interaction works in the swf version of the course and the [project_name].htm file, just not in the index.html. When previewing in the browser from CP8, the interaction works, but not when previewing HTML5 in the browser.
Is there something I need to do to make the drag and drop interaction work in HTML5? Something I need to activate? Edit in the code?
Thanks,
Kelly

I have not upgraded at this time, but I can if that will fix the issues I'm having with the published files.
To clarify, my project is NOT a responsive project. I'm just selecting HTML5 on the publish. And I am testing it locally, on our company server, and online. The drag and drop does not work in any instance of the index.html any of these locations.

Unable to Drag & Drop Files/Icons

Suddenly I am unable to drag and drop icons/files. I can right-click/control-click on icons and files, but I cannot drag them anywhere.
How did this happen? I wish I knew. All I can tell you is that I restarted my PowerBook, logged in, and -- bam. No more dragging and dropping.
I've restarted the PBook. I've restarted the Finder numerous times. I've repaired permissions. I've verified the HD. Nothing has worked so far.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

OOPS, silly me!
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!

InDesign CC 2014 can no longer drag objects with mouse

I have been using InDesign for months with no problems but suddenly I am having mouse issues. I can use my mouse to resize objects and make selections but dragging objects in the document or in panels (for example, reordering spreads) no longer works. I am using a mac on the latest 2014 CC release of InDesign, and have tried all the usual tricks (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Cmd on startup to remove preferences, manually deleting preferences (both files), reloading software, rebooting machine, reinstalling InDesign) but the only thing that works is rebooting the machine.
However, within 20-30 minutes after a reboot, the problem returns out of nowhere. I don't use plugins with InDesign and haven't changed hardware or software recently so I have no idea what's causing this.
Does anyone have any info that might help me out? From googling around, it seems most people have solved their problems after a preferences dump, but mine keeps on coming back!

I've actually been discussing this problem in another thread but this one is dedicated to it.
This cropped up for me prior to the New Year and I've found no solution. I actually did what Steve Werner suggested this week and created a new OS X account. But the problem cropped up in the new account today.
I don't know if this is a common or not. I'm part of a large creative team and as far as I know, I'm the only user experiencing this. I've trashed preferences, uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign, restarted the computer, etc. Nothing works.

Unable to create object from stored procedure universe

Dear All Experts,
I am facing a problem on unable to create object dimensions on a Stored procedure universe. Fyi, I have successfully insert a stored procedure ('SP_Sales') with input parameter (@date) into universe (Universe_1). But I unable create any object based on the the stored procedured ('SP_Sales') due to it show nothing from the Edit Select Statement of 'Object1', empty for Tables nd columns windows.
Thefore, i unable to drag data in WEBI when i select univese as "Universe_1", it will not sure any object. Please advise.
I am using XI4.0, MSSQL2008.

Hi ,
You wont be able to edit the object definitions.
u2022 Designer generates one table per selected stored procedure (or many
tables if multiple result sets) and one object per column returned by a
stored procedure.
u2022 The result set structure is determined when you describe the function.
Please refer chapter 7(Page 451) of below document for more details.

Hope this helps.

Cannot drag objects in indesgn cs3

Hi Everyone,
Suddenly I am not able to drag objects in indesign file. I can move it using key arrows, I can resize it by draging side squares, but I cannot move it using a mouse.
Any guesses?
I am on PS, Vista, CS3
Thanks a lot in advance.

The strangest thing - I appear to be back up and running again as usual on my previous account.
BTW - yes, I had tried trashing the InDesign preferences previously but that didn't work.
But I have 2 Macs - new, which I am currently on, and old, which I use as a back up.
Last week I was using my old Mac as someone else was temporarily on my new one.
I therefore had InDesign running on that machine AND Google Chrome was also running.
As I mentioned previously, I do not have Google Chrome running on my new Mac.
I thought I would just try quitting Chrome on the old Mac to check that this wasn't the issue, even though it is on another Mac, and a few minutes later my new machine is back to normal!
Could the Chrome/InDesign issue on my other Mac have been causing the problem on my new Mac via the Creative Cloud account?
I have everything crossed that this was the issue and that it won't happen again but it seems very odd - or maybe I just don't enough about this all and it is obvious to you - apologies if this is the case and I should have tried it earlier.

Unable to drag & drop emails

I've suddenly been unable to drag and drop emails from one inbox to another. For example, from my junk mailbox to the trash. This was the way I was doing it yesterday but after a update, unable to do so today.

I have the same annoying issue. The open email is stuck in the middle of the page and I cant see 2 open emails at the same time. How many times did you need to restart to fix this please? Thanks

Unable to drag window around

Something very strange happens to me today and I can not figure out how to fix this, so I am hoping someone would shed some light here as it's driving me crazy.
I was working on my MBP today until somehow it got totally frozen and it did not respond to anything I do including attempt to shut down the machine. As a last resort, I had to press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds to shut down the machine.
Upon re-booting my machine, now I notice I am UNABLE to drag the window around (like mail, ical, safari..etc). I can always drag (or move if you will ) the window around by press and hold down my thumb and with another finger. Now all of a sudden, that does not work for me anymore, and the only way to drag the window is to move the cursor to top of the window, tap twice with one finger, then drag.
I know this sound very bizarre and i am totally baffled by this. I was thinking perhaps when I shut it down using the power button, somehow something was not closed properly and it left something in a limbo state.
Would someone please tell me how to fix this? like remove some systems file or plist or whatever... please help as this is most annoying not able to drag the window around.

@macjack
I removed those two plists you suggested, restarted, it did not help
@andyball
Sorry for the confusion, I have always been able to place the cursor on the title bar of a window, hold down with my thumb and move with a second finger. Of course, now that does not work. Tapping twice when the cursor on the title bar is the only way I can move the window.
Additional info here, when I plug in a mouse, I can move while holding down the button.
I wonder if my trackpad is messed up.

I am suddenly unable to receive calls on my iPhone 4S. Is it possible that the age of the phone will affect its ability to receive calls? HELP!

I am suddenly unable to receive calls on my iPhone 4S.
I have spent 2 hour-long sessions with technical support and although they were very nice, it is still not fixed.
When I try to call the phone from a land line, it doesn't ring AND it doesn't recognize that a call is coming in (no missed call) BUT if I leave a message, it records it.
Is it possible that the age of the phone will affect its ability to receive calls?
HELP!

MarketingMary,
I am truly sorry to hear that your are unable to receive calls on your device. Thank you tbo27 for providing great troubleshooting steps. Making sure call forwarding is not active by dial *73 is great. Have you already reset network settings also? http://vz.to/RTz70g Are you able to make calls fine? Make sure Do not Disturb is not active. Settings>Do Not Disturb
