Unable to drag or delete guides in PS CC

Really getting ticked with all the bugs in CC!
Trying to design a book and the guides I make won't move or delete. My ruler is in inches and guides always move slightly off the marks I try to align them to so I try to move them and can't, I can't drag them back to the ruler so that isn't an option so all I can do it go to the menu and delete them.
What is up with this? I see posts on this but from back in early 2013 and it still isn't fixed? Is nobody at Adobe reading this forum ...or don't they give a rip?

Lets look at this from a working perspective. If Adobe wants to facilitate the actual users of its programs, then understanding the mouse clicks versus keystrokes is important. I for one measure my entire work day on the number of keystrokes versus mouse clicks I have to do to complete a task. The fewer the better.
When I am converting a design I draw in Photoshop at 1600px for a proposed website into a design for a tablet device at 800px, I need to readjust the guides for the new image size. I need to get these done quickly and I need them to be pixel perfect accurate. Am I going to have to zoom into the image, then grab the guide from the ruler, then zoom out, for each one? No, I am going to program a keystroke to bring up the Add Guide box and enter the number I know it needs to be at. Now if we can get the children in the Photoshop programmer's sandbox to share this with the children in the Illustrator programmer's sandbox as well as InDesign, Flash, and Aftereffects, then we would have some intelligent programming. Now it looks like they are all selfishly guarding their tools and will not share.
Now if the programmers really listened to the developers and designers they would create a method of saving presets for the positions of the guides so that when you move from one size drawing for a website to a smaller size, all you need to do is switch to the next guide preset and they are already positioned for you. At least with Illustrator you can copy the guides from another file and paste them in place to eliminate some of the tedious nature of the work, but thus far no other program Adobe makes has that functionality. Again, children in the sandbox.
I used to waste time with the magnification method, and still do in other programs, but at the end of the day if Adobe is not going to work to make these tools better for designers in real world ways then they need to give the clarinet to a kid that will actually use it, rather than hoarding it all to themselves. I personally don't think corporations are people, I reject the legal argument on this, but Adobe is doing a good job at displaying some of the lesser qualities of humanity, namely narcissistic hubris.

  • Unable to drag and drop files or folders

    Hi
    I'm unable to drag and drop files or folders. I can't drag from a folder to desktop, I can't drag from finder. I can't move files around. I can't drag from itunes into ipod.
    I've run Onyx and disk permission repair, cleaned all caches etc, all to no avail.
    Get info tells me I have read and write permissions.
    Can someone please help me.
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem, the terminal command to make that testfile worked, guess its a good sign but i wouldn't know, I also have a couple of extra problems:
    It started with VisualHub saying "Critical componats of Mac OS X are missing or damaged on your system, Without them, VisualHub is unable to continue. The affected componats is/are: - /tmp Temporary Directory. Try Repairing Permissions using Disk Utility"
    So i did that using OnyX, rebooted, still didn't work, so i remember hearing about how reinstalling .3 of 10.5.3 can help replace files that are lost, so i did that and thats where it went wrong, it rebooted and it seemed to go good, but then i noticed a big ? where Camino is meant to be on my Dock and i looked in my stack and it was gone, Safari would crash on the 5th letter i typed anywhere on the browser, (Safari and Webkit Nightly) At least Firefox works so i can post this, Spotlight is gone from the menu bar, i can't drag anything from the dock and i can't drag safari from the App stack or the dock crashes.
    The thing that worries me is why was Camino deleted? and Safari crashing?
    If anyone has a solution to this you would be a HUGE help, i really don't want to reformat my mac because i don't have anywhere to backup my files, i don't have the money for a decent sized HDD to backup into.
    Thanks all who help!!!

  • Unable to drag and drop itunes tracks intp idvd project

    hello
    After selecting media I am unable to drag and drop most of my itunes tracks into my dvd projects ,this is true for both imported cd's and purchased music
    Only a few tracks will show with the + sign
    any thoughts
    Thanks
    Paul T

    Give this basic remedy a try. Quit iDVD and delete your iDVD preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.idvd.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iDVD; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
    If that doesn't work, do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility.
    I hope this helps.

  • I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please?

    I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please, by the way the "L" doesn't appear in the bottom left hand corner either? and by the way how can I get rid of that irritating Blue badge saying "AutoFill your contact details" all mine are in "address book" already!

    You can't drag a transition into the canvas. If you're dragginmg a transition from the effects tab you drag it between the edit point of two clips in the timeline.
    Make sure show edit overlays is turned on in the Canvas view popup.

  • During an app update it froze and has said waiting for 2 days and I am unable to open or delete

    During an app update it froze and has said waiting for 2 days and I am unable to open or delete. How do I recover my app?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I am unable to change or delete my iCloud ID, it is prompting sign in using an old email address that used to be my Apple ID, others have had this same problem but the answer seems to be to delete the iCloud account but I can't do that.

    I am unable to change or delete my iCloud ID, it is prompting sign in using an old email address that used to be my Apple ID, others have had this same problem but the answer seems to be to delete the iCloud account but I can't do that, because when I select delete account it prompts me to sign in on the old email address which doesn't exist anymore!! Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    I am unable to drag any playlists to my ipod- the circle with red line through it shows up and precludes it from being accepted- what is up ?

    Though I have doubts for success, you might try a SMC reset.  It can do no harm.  Otherwise, barring suggestions from others, the Apple Store or qualified repair facility is the last option.

    Hi RadarCat16,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be frustrating when you are waiting for content to download to your iPhone from the iTunes Store. There are a few steps I would recommend in this situation. Please read over and follow the steps in the attached article.
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • 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

    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

  • Mysterious files being created in pages. Unable to unlock or delete them.

    Mysterious files being created in pages. Unable to unlock or delete.

    It turns out that you cannot update or delete a Syndication Map that is currently assigned to a Port in the Repository.  You must remove the map from the Port in the Repository and then you can change and/or delete them. 
    1) bring up the MDM Console
    2) Unload the repository
    3) drill into Admin ~ Port
    4) Remove or change the map associated to the port
    5) Load the repository
    6) Then you go into Syndicator and either Update the Map or Delete it
    It had nothing to do with security.
    Thank you for your help.

  • My ipad unable to drag the slider, tried on restart, no reponse. How to solve this?

    My ipad is not hang, just unable to drag the slider to access it.
    I had tried many times on "Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The device should begin to start up"
    It appeared apple logo, the device is restart, however still unable to drag the slider.
    It is faulty on the screen?

    Hey there AndreaYong,
    It sounds like your Touchscreen on the iPad isnt working correctly. I would recommend the troubleshooting info in the following article to help you figure out if this is a hardware issue or not:
    If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch
    Make sure your hands are clean and dry, then try these steps:
    If you have a case or screen protector on your device, try removing it.
    Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Unplug your device.
    Restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If your touchscreen still doesn't respond like it should, contact Apple Support or take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • 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!
