What Causes Delay in items dragging into Folders

for example, when i drag something to trash or folder. there a 2 sec delay before it moves into folder. its my friends imac and can't figure if its a preference she may have changed
thanks

synesthesian,
what should the preferences be set too?
I am not sure how to answer that question, but the default preferences should suffice. Since the plist file was not the culprit, you can also return it to the original location. Just replace the newer version when asked by the system. Be sure to log out/in or restart to get back to the original settings.
Can you notice the delay in another user account?
It may also help to start up in "Safe Mode."

  • Length of library item dragged into timeline

    Is there a way to control the length of an item insterted into the timeline in AE CS4? I have a number of images and text items that I am creating and insterting into a composition and everytime a new item is insrted or created it automatically makes it the length of the composition where I only want to be inserted at a specific point on the timeline.
    I'm having to manually change the start and end points everytime and its taking me ages, can anyone help??
    Thanks

    The duration for still images can be defined in the prefs' import and file handling section. For text the behavior is "as designed". I don't see it as a problem, though, that's what the various layer shortcuts as listed on this page are for. No need to use the mouse to trim layers at all once you get the hang of it...

  • What causes my sound to go into slow motion when I am playing itunes and then disconnect the power adapter on my laptop?

    When the sound goes into slow motion, the only way to resolve this is to perform a Windows restore.
    But there must be a way to keep this from happening.
    I'm using Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 service pack 3 and iTunes 10.5.2.11.
    Not only are the songs in iTunes playing slow, but so are all sounds, including Windows sounds.

    That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
    Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
    Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific)

  • Can't drag files into folders in PDF portfolio

    I have created a PDF portfolio that contains primarily PDFs converted from e-mail messages, along with a few files from various Microsoft Office products. The portfolio has been added to over time, and now we have almost 100 files in the portfolio, so we'd like to organize these files into folders so it is easier to use.
    However, when I create a folder, I am not able to drag any files into it. I've tried all different types of files--PDFs, Word, PowerPoint--when I drag the file on top of the folder, I get the circle backslash symbol indicating the function is not allowed. I can't find any information about this in the Help files; every tutorial I've looked at indicates that I should be able to drag and drop files wherever I like, but doesn't mention what to do if I can't.
    I'm using Acrobat Pro X on Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
    Any suggestions about why this might be happening and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to have to recreate the whole thing, but it's not going to be very useful if we continue adding unorganized files.
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    I tried a different layout (I had a custom layout set up; I switched to the standard Grid), and I still can't drag and drop.
    I just now created a new portfolio with a few of the same files, and I was able to drag the files into a folder I created.
    Yes, the original portfolio was created in Acrobat 9.
    Thanks,
    Lisa

  • Can't drag playlists into folders anymore.

    I am using iTunes 10.4. Have approx. 25,850 songs organized into folders and sub-folders. I have organized this way for years. Today, I am unable to drag any playlist into any folder. What happened? 

    I use Wacom Intuos3 and have just had the same issue. All my playlists have disappeared and I can no longer drag and drop tunes. Also discovered it's a Wacom/Apple issue - but I have no idea why it has happened all of a sudden. Have posted a separate question.
    Hope all works out for you soon - I thought playlists for 7,000+ tunes was a lot...

  • Unable to drag and drop emails into folders

    Since updating to iCloud/ios5 I am unable drag and drop emails into folders I have set up. Additionally, if I right mouse click and say 'Move to' it takes four or five times of selecting a folder for the emails to actually move.  Suggestions?

    Thanks, Linc.  As a Mac user since the 80s, relaunch/reboot is always the first thing I try, and yes, that usually fixes many issues :-)  But not this one.  That being said, the Mac, she is a mysterious thing...  I did relaunch/reboot yesterday afternoon to no avail.  Shut down completely last night, rebooted this morning...  Still didn't work....and then this afternoon, because it is habit, I grabbed an email to file and voilà ~ it is now working again.  I am stumped as to what that was all about...  Thank you for the reply.

  • Drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes?

    is it possible to drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes?  It is very clunkey to have to click each separate file to instruct it to move to the folder.  Better still, can I just sync an existing folder on my hard drive so the pdf's inside always remain up to date on my iPad?

    There is no way to drag and drop in Reader on an iPad.
    There is no way to sync PDFs in a folder on your hard drive to those inside of Reader.
    There are readers (which are NOT free) which let you do some of these things and have more capabilities. You might check out PDF Expert from Readdle which costs $9.99 US.

  • What causes ipod to go into disk mode

    I have an older ipod nano and out of the blue for no reason the other day when i picked it up it said something about how i needed to use itunes to restore. When i plug the ipod into itunes in says something about corrupted files and the ipod needs to be restored to factory settings. Now, i have read a lot about ways to try to salvage this but resetting etc. and when i do this i get a check mark that says "okay to disconnect" and above it it says "disk mode" But what causes this in the first place? I never plugged it into a computer and ejected it improperly. One day it works fine and the next it doesnt and im going to have to lose all my music because of it! So again, what exactly causes this to happen? Is it something i may have done or just a flaw in the device?
    Thanks,
    Bryan

    Yeah, I've had this happen to me too. Unfortuantely its just one f the many joys of owning an ipod/apple product. I'm not exatcly sure WHAT causes this to happen, but if you hold down the center and menu button down at the same time, the disk mode screen should turn off; and, depending if your ipod is charge or not, pressing the play/pause button should turn on your ipod on normaly.                  Hope this helped for being so late.

  • I am an absolute newcomer to Lightroom.  I have downloaded images from camera (OMD EM1) and divided them into folders.  Some folders work ok in Develop mode.  With other folders I get the words "This file could not be found".  What should I do

    As an absolute newcomer to Lightroom 5 I have downloaded images direct from camera (IOlympus EM-1) and divided them into folders. When I go into Develop mode, some folders can be developed ok , but with images from two other folders I get the message "This file could not be found".  What should I do?

    may i suggest opening the files in Olymous Viewer 3  and exporting them (you can do some editing there if you wish or not) asTIFF files. After that you can import the new files into LR. LR seems to like tiiff more than .orf files 
    The advantage to using OV3 is that it seems to do a much better job converting RAW EM1 files. Colors are more accurate ( my red flower pot turned orange when loaded directly into lightroom)
    . The tiff files just LOOK better in LR  after the conversion . there is a youtube on this subject and when i tried it myself i was impressed 

  • All of a sudden, I am unable to click-and-drag files into folders?

    I have a 2012 Macbook Air 11". I was dragging files into folders and then all of a sudden I couldn't. All I can do is copy and paste...frustrating.
    I tried accessibility settings, enabling dragging but that didn't change anything. Any suggestions?

    Restart your Mac and try again.

  • I have an iPhone 5s and i've been noticing that my phone would go into Do Not Disturb mode at night. So I looked under settings, and there was a profile labeled "Consumer Input" and then I noticed DND was set for 10pm-7am. Does anyone know what caused it?

    You downloaded a profile from somewhere. If it's not one you want or need, delete it.

    Thanks, but I have done that.  All the settings on the mini are identical to the iPad 3 & still the mini won't work properly.  I'm sure it was something I had to change on servers to get both the Macbook & iPad 3 working, just wish I could remember what!!  Any more suggestions welcome! Thanks

  • I used Finder to organise my iMovie events into folders. In iMovie I can see the folders but the software says there are no events present. What can i do?

    I used Finder to organise my iMovie events into folders. In iMovie I can see the folders but the software says there are no events in the folders. What can I do to rectify?

    Very carefully use Finder to move the Events back to the top level of the Movies/iMovie Events folder. iMovie will not see them if they are nested in Folders.
    If they are on an external drive, move them to the iMovie Events folder at the top level of the drive.
    However, you can put iMovie projects in folders if you want.
    It is best to do all moves and renames in iMovie so you do not destroy the links in your Projects. However, you need to move your events back to where they were in the Finder sonce iMovie cannot see them.

  • I downloaded 5.0 but it isn't giving me the icon to drag into my application folder. I have a Mac. What to do? Thanks

    The download Firefox page said a Firefox icon would appear to drag into the Application folder and from there I should drag it onto my Icon bar. I downloaded 5.0 but no icon is appearing on my screen to drag to Applications? I have a Mac computer and have been running Firefox for quite some time. How do I get the down load into my Application folder and then onto my startup bar? Thanks

  • How do you drag files into folders on the new mountain lion?

    When i select the file i want to drag into a folder, it drags normally but i can not place it in the new folder.  nothing fancy just rying to move pictures into the same folder.
    Thanks

    Hi there...
    I'm in the same boat.
    I clean installed Mountain Lion no problems, everything seems to be a little quicker even... .a bonus.
    But then I stumbled across something.
    I am unable to move or drag files around.
    Let's say I have a file jpg in the desktop, and I want to move it to the pictures folder... Normally I would just hold down the trackpad, and physically move it in to the open pictures finder... but it just will not move.  I can select it, open it, rename it, everything... but I just cannot drag anything anywhere.
    Lets say the jpg on my desktop needs work and I want to open it in Photoshop.  I have the Photoshop icon in my Dock, and for years have simply dragged whatever jpg onto the PHotoshop icon in the Dock to open it.. .but now I can't.
    At the moment I am copy/pasting everything, which is time consuming and sooo annoying you have no idea.
    I just wanted to move a AVI from my downloads to the desktop.  I had to copy, paste, then delete from downloads... ***?!?!
    Am I the only one experiencing this problem??
    Please let me know.
