Unable to move objects (They snap back to their original place) and certain menu items don't work

Using CS5, have been using this version for over a year and have never seen this problem -
When I try to move any object by selecting and then trying to drag, it won't let me. It allows me to drag while selected maybe half an inch before not moving anymore, and then snaps back to the original position anyway. I CAN move by using transform - move, or selecting and using arrow keys. When I restart my computer everything seems fine, but then it soon gives me this same problem.
Also, when I'm having the object moving issue I also have problems with dropdown menus. For example when printing, I can see the list of printers, but clicking them has no effect. Another example is the Preferences menu box, clicking "Type" or "Units" has no effect.
Please help!!

Win or Mac? Do you have 15.02, if not install the update.

Select All and in transform palette uncheck Align to pixel grid.
Reset your prefs. After botting hold down these 3 keys
MAc - Shift Opt Command
Win - Shift Alt Ctrl
Do you have any 3rd parts Ilustrator plug ins? If you are on windows can you do a system restore back to a date before this was happening (Win is much more susectible to mallware/trojan horse/virus)

JInternalFrames that snap back to their original size and bounce around

1. How do I make the JInternalFrames not snap back to their original size after I resize them (drag with mouse)?
2. How do I bet the internal frames(minimized or open) to not bounce around when I add a new one?
Thanks!!

Use the direct select tool to select the image, then set the scale in the scale fields to 100%, and finally, fit frame to content.

Recovered files in the trash. How do I put them back to their original place so that they do not keep being recovered very time I open my Mac?

I keep getting the same recovered files in the trash. How do I put them back to their original place so that they do not keep being recovered very time I open my Mac?

The recovered files are temporary files used by Mac OS X applications. Usually temporary files are deleted by an application when it no longer needs them. If an application quits unexpectedly, the temporary files may not be deleted by the application. When you restart your computer, Mac OS X moves these temporary files to the Trash.
You can retrieve useful files by dragging them out of the Trash. In most cases, however, the temporary files are not important and it is safe to empty your Trash. Check with the manufacturer of the application if you are not sure.

Firefox does not load long images, pixelates images if they are not in their original size, and has problems with thumbnails (in some sites)

Firefox has problems with images.
In sites like deviantART or ImageShack with full-view option, images that are not in full size/thumbnails get slightly pixelated e.g. http://img251.imageshack.us/f/screenshot2tq.jpg/
Long images get completely messed up if full-viewed e.g. http://img689.imageshack.us/f/screenshot5z.jpg/ (though if the file is only big, it loads just fine)
Also, thumbnails in some sites get messed up e.g. http://img201.imageshack.us/f/screenshotyr.jpg/
And in general, Firefox has more 'glitches' like not allowing to add more search engines. It wasn't like that before and I can only assume that it got messed up somewhere with updates, but I'm not really sure.
I've tried cleaning out cache, re-installing Firefox (multiple times) and even downloaded Firefox 4 beta, but the problem remains.
I use Ubuntu.
Does anyone else have similar problems? Or know where the problem lies?

Do you have the latest driver for your graphics display card?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Adobe Creative Suite CS5 is acting up. In Illustrator i was unable to move objects with my mouse, so

Adobe Creative Suite CS5 is acting up. In Illustrator i was unable to move objects with my mouse and tried solving the problem in different ways - it still didnt work. So i opened up photoshop. I was unable to open a file in photoshop (new or old) and when i finally did manage to open something, I am unable to do many things.
1) i cannot crop canvas
2) i cannot resize canvas
3) text dissapears after i type it
4) brush strokes dissapear after i release mouse
etc
What should i do??
Thank you!

Nobody can help you without system info or otehr details. From your description this could be driver issues with a tablet if you use one or similar issues with a programmable custom mouse... Most definitely not an issue within the programs. Unplug your mouse and tablet, uninstall and reinstall the drivers, try another input device...

I recently upgraded our iMac to Yosemite OS and now have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11: the move tool selects an image or text layer, but then I try to drag the selection somewhere else on the page and it snaps back to the original location, however the arrows will move it OK. Also I cannot drag the selection to another photo in the photo bin as before.

Unable to move object. Change lists were not part of the same import

Hi All
I am facing a strange problem.
We have applied SP16 patch on our XI box and imported all the scenario objects and design objects which were exported as .tpz file .
After importing scenario object,all objects moved to a new node 'XI 3.0 Import' in change list and when I tried to activate this change list it gave me an error
<b>"Unable to move object. Change lists were not part of the same import"</b>
even if I try to move it Standard change list, it gives me same error.
Any solution?

Hi,
Hope you are activiating the complete change list. You get this error because you trying to activate a part of the change list.
Please look at the URL:
Importing to QA box
Integration Directory (ID) transport to Prod system

Error - Unable to move objects.

During our upgrade process to PT5 we had to move our crawlers into the new admin hierarchy. When moving one crawler I received the following error message:
Error - Unable to move objects.
I successfully moved crawlers from the same folder into other folders. Security is set correctly and I cannot see any reason for this error message as such.
Has anyone else come across this problem? If so - how can I get around/fix it?
Thanks

Hi,
i think currently you have multiple change lists in your userid and the problem is that some objects in one change list which you are trying to activate is also in some other change list..........
so my suggestion - do a reject change list of all the change lists.........if you are using file transfer mode for transfering ID objects, then in import directory you will be having our import files.........then again import your ID objects by importing one file at a time and changing it to your userid and then activating it.
if suppose by the above method, it will take a lot of effort to transfer all the config objects, then i will suggest you to again export all the configuration objects by exporting all the configuration scenarios in ID in one attempt by file transfer mechanism in your XI DEV system.........and then import this in your XI QUA system.

How do I export all the photos I imported back to their original folder

How do I export all the photos I imported back to their original folder just as they were, they haven't been modified, adjusted etc. I imported them by mistake.

You don't need to worry. You won't lose photos when the 30 day trial expires.
Lr is different than other photo editing software in that it works with a data base (called the "catalog"). Lr does not write anything into the image pixels but stores everything that you do in Lr into its catalog (=data base). That way, when the trial expires your images will still be there, but - since you cannot access the Lr catalog anymore - your photos will be in the state they were before you imported them into Lr.
When you work with Lr you have to really understand the concept of the "catalog", if you don't you will come into very frustrating situations. The concept of "catalog" involves above all that you need to think of your images based on two different files that are in different locations on your computer. One is your image file (Raw, JPG, TIFF) and the other is the data entry written for this image into the Lr catalog. Lr constantly updates this catalog (without you having to hit <save>) and constantly combines the image file with the data from the catalog. From this follows the demand that you take care of the Lr catalog as much as you take care for your image files - by knowing where they are located on your computer and by doing regular backups.
Would it be worth the investment? In my opinion definitively "yes"! I work with Lr since version 1 on a daily basis and would not want to miss it. Lr gives you superior image editing possibilities (in the Develop Module) but - as already said - is also a superb image management tool. Lr will keep track of all of your images irrespective if they are on internal or external hard drives. With Lr you have all of your images available all the time.
But Lr has also a steep learning curve. You cannot just jump in and do things because you'd create havoc and become frustrated. There are excellent books but for starters I would recommend that you watch the video tutorials on Adobe's website. You learn from them easily because you see on your screen what the instructor does, where he clicks, where the different tools are, etc.

If you decide to buy, you can do so on Adobe's website. You will then be e-mailed a serial # that will unlock your trial version for indefinite time.

You don't. Take it back to them and ask them to unlock it. If they refuse, or if they have now vanished off the face of the earth, you own a brick. There is no way past the activation lock without the proper credentials.

Cannot drug files on my desktop. I get a white "stop sign" and the file jumps back to its original place.

Thank you very much for your reply. I did what you advised command-I and at the bottom where it says Sharing and Permissions I am listed and "everyone" to read and write. I see no place to change anything to unlock the desktop to move the files around. Could you help some more?

Welcome to Discussions - the fact that the S.M.A.R.T. status is not recognized and the flashing questions mark appear seem to indicate that your hard drive has failed. If you have access to TechToolPro or Disk Warrior, try to use them to check the drive status. This will likely not work, and I'm afraid your disk is toast.
You could try to remove the drive and put it in an external case and try to mount it on your MacBook, but I don't hold out much hope for that either. You can try using [Data Rescue|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/211375] to retrieve your data.
You can also take it in to Apple and see what they say. Please let us know how things turn out,

Hi thee. As logical as I can be. I export a file back into my folder as a PSD. I then export that file to PS. Work on it, save and return it to LR. The file goes to the bottom of the folder from where I have to put it back in the original place, taking time and driving me slightly mad. Why does the file not go back to where it came from please? Thanks Tim

Umm, but this folder is an amalgam of two cameras and five cards, and I want them in capture order! Thanks for trying though Jim.

How can I keep apps in the order I prefer? I've rearranged via iTunes but every time I power cycle the phone, the apps go back to their original positions...

Hi kelori617,
If you are having issues organizing the Apps on your iPhone via iTunes, you may want to double-check the steps in the following article and make sure you are syncing any changes to your device:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync and organize iOS apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12115
iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync and organize iOS apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12315
If all of the steps are correct and the changes still aren't being retained when you restart your iPhone, you may want to make sure your data is backed up, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings, restore your data from the backup, then test to see if you can organize your apps via iTunes:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

After editing a photo in another program, the photos return to the library at the end of the grid panel instead of at their original loacation. How do I avoid this or alternatively, is there a quick way of moving them back to their original position instead of clicking and dragging them?

Sort your photos by File Name or Capture Date
