Why can't I drag files out of Photoshop CC to another program?

Hello, I have a smart object in Photoshop that I want to drag into InDesign, however when I drag the file onto InDesign's icon in the dock it does nothing. This has worked for me in the past. It won't drag into Illustrator either.
Has anyone else experienced this and resolved it?

The reason is Photoshop is a document editor. It does not work on files it can only save documents into some image file formats. So there is no file that you can drag out of Photoshop. It does support copy and paste and you can copy layer from to the system clipboard or a copy merge to the clipboard and paste into an othe application.  I do not have other Adobe applications so  I do not know what data exchange Adobe does support between its application.

  • Why can't I drag files out of folder stacks in Yosemite

    After upgrade to Yosemite, I can't drag files or folders from stacks in the dock to anywhere, I need to open the folder in the finder to do this. anybody havin

    For me, it kind of fixed itself. Unfortunately I cannot say for sure what I did that triggered the fix, because I just noticed the other day that I was able to drag and drop again (what a relief). I can't say for sure that this is related, but the one thing that I did immediately before noticing that it was no longer broken that seemed like it could have had some effect was installing a new, Yosemite compatible version of Asepsis (http://asepsis.binaryage.com). Maybe the problem was the old version of Asepsis hanging around from Mavericks, or maybe doing the Aspesis install somehow fixed it indirectly, or maybe it was just a coincidence and that had nothing to do with it. But that's all I could think of that I did that might have had an effect on the Finder.

  • Why can't i drag files from harddrive to playlist?

    I run Windows 7 64 bit

    See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.
    Not sure why you're having trouble adding to the playlists then, but restoring your previous library may help.

  • Why can't I drag clips from my source window to my program window on Premiere CS6?

    I am only able to drag clips from my source window to my timeline, but not to my program window. Anyone know what the problem might be?
    Also, the "insert" and "overwrite" buttons are not working from my source window, nor are their shortcuts ("," or "."). I think the problem with the insert and overwrite buttons is related to the reason I can't drag clips from my source window to my program window. Any advice on either problem would be much appreciated, thanks!

    Be sure the appropriate tracks are both targeted and routed.

  • Can't drag files out of the dock folders/stacks

    On Mavericks I'm able to drag files out of the folders/stacks I have on the Dock (Downloads, Documents, etc.) just as you would anywhere on OSX. But, for some reason my mom (Mavericks) and my fiancee (Mountain Lion) can't. I've tried checkin the permissions for those folders (in Get Info) and they have read/write permissions. This only happens in list view, not in fan, grid or automatic. Is there some hidden setting or something else that would allow them to be able to drag files?

    For downloads, go to your user folder downloads and remove them there. Same for Applications. To remove alias from the Dock hold down the command key while dragging them from the Dock.
    If that does't work, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. Then try a Dock reset.
    Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
    killall Dock
    Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
    Then try a dock reset.
    Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
    killall Dock
    Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
    If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

  • Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

        Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
    I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
    ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5  Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
    Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library...  or File/Add Folder to Library...
    Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
    Do either of the following:
    1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
         I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
    I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
    Steps
    1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

    I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
    To resolve it from within Itunes I did :  Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
    I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
    Click OK.
    Closed iTunes/
    Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
    I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
    Works fine now.

    Yes they can, you are correct. I should have maybe said that in my post. I was merely trying to say that I believe they want to keep the iPhone more organized. I got out of dragging and dropping to my iPod after I created my first playlist. Makes things a lot eaiser just to sync a list.

    Why can I not open files saved on a server?

    I think I figured it out.  I set the compatibility mode to Windows Server 2008 (which is the OS on the server we are using) and it opened just fine.  Whoop Whoop.  Thanks for your help.

  • Dragging Files Out Of iTunes

    Hey guys
    I want to drag files out of my iTunes library, onto a flash drive so i can put it onto my PS3. Anyway, some of the albums i have drag like normal, and i can put them on, but some albums dont. When i drag the files, nothing happens. Even when i try and drag them to the desktop, still nothing. So i go right click, and show in windows explorer, but i get the error "c:/documents and settings.... etc." "Access Id Denied"
    But i can access the file that is in my My Music folder, if you get me, but just can't drag it out of iTunes. Anyway know of a solution? I don't want to drag it out of my My Music folder, because the album artwork doesn't follow it, but if i drag it out of the iTunes library, album art follows it.
    Cheers.

    What kind are the files you are trying to copy from itunes?

  • Why can't i drag clips to timeline?

    I'm new.
    Why can't i drag clips to timeline? I set in and out points but clips will not drag.

    So it sounds like you're dragging from the source monitor and not from the project window. Either way, is it creating a new sequence for you when you drop it in over the blank timeline? If not what IS it doing? What version of pr are you using?

  • Why can't I drag one folder into anoth

    If I create a new folder within Zen Media Explorer, why can I not drag another folder into it's
    This is how I arrange my MP3 albums on my PC ARTIST NAME folder--->ALBUM NAME folder--->MP3 TRACKS
    but when I use media explorer to transfer just one album from a multi album folder it transfers it without creating a folder of the artist name therefore I would have to do it manually, but thats isn't possible either.
    Now although this is fine on the player (if ID3 tags are completed) when I come back to media player I don't have the artist name info.
    Am I doing something wrong or has anybody else found this to be a problem
    Thanks

    Thanks Jerry. I just found this out by reading the "What has been lost in Numbers 3.0 upgrade" post by virtue of posing my question here ... In desperation, I downloaded FilemakerPro 13 trial and I am getting quite excited by this although I have commented to Apple that they may want to think about using the now redundant iWeb developers to build a new iWeb with DB capabilities integrating the new Numbers with all it's 09 features restored for ease of use. Will they listen? I doubt it. Ha. Cheers

  • Why can't I drag images from Finder to Design View Dreamweaver CC?

    Hey Guys,
    I'm using OS X Mavericks (10.9) and Adobe DW CC
    For some reason in both CC and CS6 I can no-longer drag files from Finder (Mac OS X's Explorer) into the design view ( for eg: adding images to a table cell ), the browse button doesn't work properly either... The "browse for file" button only works if there is an image already there and then it will update the image, otherwise if there's no image in the table cell it will bring up the browse dialogue box but does nothing if I select a file and press "open".
    Is there a setting that was introduced in CS 6 that affects this behavior?

    Hi All,
    This bug has been fixed in the latest version of Dreamweaver CC 2014, which is now available for download.
    Download it from https://creative.adobe.com/ or directly through the Creative Cloud desktop app.
    We’re excited to hear back from you. Please share your feedback.
