Why can't i move pages in the pages palette?

what i'm trying to do is move one page below another page on the pages palette. i lined up two pages horozontally, to make sure everything lines up the same. now i want to move one page below the first page, so that i can build in bleeds. the second page keeps snapping back to the first, as if it is a spread. These pages are NOT set up as spreads. I have "allow pages to shuffle" in the options flyout menu. What is going on? thanks for any help about this strange behavior.

Although I prefer not to show my pages palette lined vertically, I cannot reproduce this issue precisely.
When you move pages on the page palette, are you paying attention to or seeing the black bar that appears when you begin to drag pages? This appears in CS and CS2. I don't have CS3 to confirm, but I think it is there, too.
The black bar gives a visual cue as to where the page being moved will snap to. If the bar is adjacent to another page, it will move into a spread with the existing page on the side indicated by the black bar (with allow pages to shuffle turned off). If the bar is between pages (when palette preference is not vertical) or to the right of the page (when vertical), then the moved page will appear in that location in the page order.
So, try this:
Click on your page 2 in the page palette.
Drag slightly to the right until a tall black bar appears next to page 2.
Release the mouse.
This will break page 2 from the spread with page 1 and place it, as a single page spread, between page 1 and 3.

Why can't I move artwork with the perspective selection tool?

I created a carpet and decorated it with symbols. When I tried to place it in the perspective grid with the perspective tool, it wouldn't move. I can move it fine with the selection tool and there's a bounding box but nothing happens when I use the perspective selection tool.
Need help. Thanks.

You have to make sure that one of the grids (Left, Right, Horizontal) is active.
Just check the widget that appears when you select the Perspective Grid Tool. You can click on those sides of the cube with the Perspective Grid or the Perspective Selection Tool to make one of them active. You can also press the key 1, 2 or 3 to make either of those grids active.
If you click on the circular portion outside the cube, none of the grids is active. Then you can't move the artwork with the Perspective Selection Tool. You can press the key 4 to make none of the grids active which is especially useful when you don't want your artwork to distort in perspective while still working with the Perspective Grid showing on the artboard.

Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed and saved file name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
If that does not cure it backup up your iPhoto library and rebuild it - depress the option and command keys and launch iphoto and use the options there - exact option depends on teh version you have
And always remember - NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - nothing - no deletions - no name changes - nothing

This is a shot in the dark, but try this:

Why can't I move the "name" column??

This is a question that has been bothering me for a very long time. Why can't I move the "Name" column in the library (or playlist) view away from it's left position? It seems to be locked into place. I can move and arrange artist, album, time, bitrate, track #, etc etc etc to any configuration I so desire, but yet the name column remains eternally glued to the left side of that pane, never to be moved.
The reason I ask, is because when I organize my music, I don't immediately think of track names, I think of artists. Especially in this day of cds I am hard pressed to recall individual song names. At home my albums and cds are filed by artist name, not by song name (physically impossible, obviously). It's a natural tree-like organization... artist->album->song name. I want to configure the library view in iTunes to match this same logical hiearchy but for some reason iTunes will not let me do this one extremly simple thing... argh and double argh!! Is there any reason for this? Is there any way to solve this?

Chad hello,
Everybody here has given you good advice so I will explain why the name column can not be moved...
Your Music library is a data base and a data base has to have at least one totally unique index field for each file... now it can not be the Artist as you can have as many songs as you like by the same artist... same reason for the album, one album can have many songs but the same album name... same for genre etc.
The only thing that can be unique is the song title... If you put the exact same song by the same artist the program will assign a unique name by adding a number in front of the extension for each duplicate .... example
Song Name.mp3
Song Name_1.mp3
Song Name_2.mp3
So when you think about it the song name is the only thing that is different... one album by the same Artist may have more than one track of exactly the same length, size, genre, composer etc. moving through all fields except the name....
Now why can't you move the name column... well all the other fields do not have to be unique so you can move and/or remove these columns but if you could remove the name column you could end up with more than one entry in your library looking exactly the same.... you have to have something that allows you to separate them and that is the unique index field 'Song Name'....it could not work any other way..
hope you can follow all that.... take care... TP

Why can't I move a folder from contacts to the mail address line?

Why can't I move a folder from Contacts to the address line in mail?

If all of the contacts don't get moved into the address field(s), it's possible that some of the contacts in a Group contain information but not email addresses for those individuals.
Don't really know what else to suggest except, possibly, that you delete, then re-create the problem Groups.

Why can't i move pasted selection? the move tool has no effect.

Why can't i move the pasted selection. it was cut from another photo and copied to this one. It was dropped in the middle of the photo but the move tool has no effect on it.
thankx

I discovered that I had to be on that layer, click on the recompose tool, then click on a corner to bring up the green check indicator, then click on the center and it would move. In the old program I just clicked onto the move tool and it would move.
Thanks for responding.

Brandcast, I'd suggest you post in a new topic. Although your question is the same, apparently the answer isn't. Any topic that was originally started over 2 months ago may relate to a different version of iTunes (neither you nor the original poster say which version you use) and who knows what may happen between versions.

Why can't I rent Pirates of the Carribean?

Why can't I rent Pirates of the Carribean? The new one???

I think that's missing the point. I don't really want to rent any movies from Verizon but the whole reason for making rental available is to see if we like the movie first, before we purchase it...because if we purchase a movie that we have never seen before, we are stuck with it, even if we don't like the movie.
Not that long ago, I was looking to see if I could rent "The Big Chill" and even that is only available for purchase.
But still, Verizon is not getting an extra buck from me just to watch extra movies. I would much rather pay to watch a movie in the movie theater.

Why can't iTunes resume playback of the last track I played before closing it?

If Safari can recall the last page I had open when I closed it, and Preview can open the last documents I had open, why can't iTunes resume playback of the last track I played?
Come on guys, a search on the internet will bring up discussions from the early 2000s with the question of resuming playback. Just add the feature already.

HI THanks for this helpful post. I will try this. I have 2 iPods. One is 3rd Gen. I love the little small square, so I bought it on ebay. Then I got a little iPod nano ( again a tiny square shape)
So I tried to sync them today and update them.
This is the response I got.
I get a message that the original file cannot be found and asks if I want to try and locate file. I locate the file and it's empty?!
This freaked me out because I have all this music I love. The only thumb drive is my back up drive which is not a thumb. Will the back up drive have my music files too?
Thanks-Peace Out
