Why can't I select and drag files around in the preview area?

Out of nowhere. I have had no issues and now it is pretty much unusable. I thought maybe it was a bug so I uninstalled/reinstalled., There was an update when I went to install it the second time. I thought the update would help but there's no change. Help please!

Hi Anni,

Do you have the Google Chrome "Pushbullet" extension installed on your computer? If so, uninstall it.
Thanks,
Kevin

Why can't I select and drag addresses from contacts to mail

Re: can't drag email addresses from contact list

Why can't I click and drag photos anymore?

Why can't I click and drag photos to the desktop to email?

OK--Think I finally discovered the issue. I'm using a trackball and keyboard setup from Euphonix that communicates with the Mac via Ethernet and TCP/IP. Aperture cannot deal with mouse strokes transmitted this way. If I switch to a USB mouse connected directly to the Mac, the brushes work normally. Still a disappointment since the Euphonix is my default keyboard/mouse and I don't really want to keep a separate USB mouse hooked up.....

Why can't I click and open my Skydrive from the favorites bar in finder?

I am able to do this for Google Drive and also Copy, so I should be able to do the same for Skydrive.
So how come I cannot click on Skydrive in the favorites bar in finder? I can click on everything else but when I try to click skydrive it is as if I clicked on the window outside of finder where it would be inactive. I want to be able to open my skydrive from finder (in favorites) so how can I fix this?
Please and thanks for any answers at all in advance

If I understand correctly you want the title to appear on top of a later video clip so both title and clip are visible. The problem is the "whites" background which is both making the background opaque and stopping you from pasting it above another clip. If you just select and drag the title by itself, the background will be transparent so the video clip below will show through. You should also be able to copy and paste it directly above the clip you want.
If you want different parts of the title to have a special effect you will have to edit each instance after you have made and positioned the copies.
I hope this helps - or have I misunderstood?

Why can't I Click and Drag?

Yesterday I was clicking and dragging items on my desktop, but today I can't. I can select them but I can't move them. How do I fix this?
I have a Macbook Pro, 10.5.8

this just started happening to me.
OK it looks like force quiting the finder and relaunching it will fix this.

Why can't I select and move guides with selection tools?

I'm using Illustrator CC and I cannot select and move guides with the selection tools. The guides are not locked. I can select the guides in the Layers Panel, but I can only move with the arrow keys. I can also "Release" the guides once they are selected in the Layers Panel, but I still cannot move them with the mouse - only the arrow key.
Summary of Problem:
Guides are not locked.
Some guides can only be moved when they are selected in the Layer Panels and when using the arrow keys
Non-selectable Guides can be "Released" but only altered in color and line weight and still only moved with the arrow keys.
Desired Outcome:
I want to be able to move all guides using the mouse for greater accuracy vs the arrow keys.
Thank you for your help.

Channing, anotherhead,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Why can't l click and drag a photo from my pictures library to my iphone?

I am trying to move photos from my laptop to my iphone. I have tried clicking and dragging individual photos from my picture library to the iphone but l receive a message saying my iphone is not responding.
I have tried syncing via itunes but when l want to sync a further folder it replaces the one which as already been synced?
Any ideas?

There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
All of your media should be in iTunes already.
If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

Why can't I click and drag clone brush??

I'm working with a trial version of Aperture and trying to clone out a couple of annoying background details. When I use the clone tool, I cannot click and drag or "paint" with it. I only get a circular clone that is the diameter of the brush. I don't want to clone out the problem areas with a bunch of little circles! I want a smooth, painted cloned area. Is this possible with Aperture or do I need to go back to Photoshop....

OK--Think I finally discovered the issue. I'm using a trackball and keyboard setup from Euphonix that communicates with the Mac via Ethernet and TCP/IP. Aperture cannot deal with mouse strokes transmitted this way. If I switch to a USB mouse connected directly to the Mac, the brushes work normally.

I can no longer click and drag Safari window to the other desktop.

I've tried merging all windows and minimizing that single window, then going to the other desktop to open up the window. That doesn't work--it just opens on the original desktop.
When double-clicking on the Safari icon in the dock, the options for desktop appear (none, this desktop, and all desktops). By clicking on all desktops I am able to go to the other desktop and see my Safari window there, then I can change the option to none again.
This is not how it worked before. I'm supposed to be able to click and drag the window to the other desktop.
Any ideas?
Update:
I pulled one Safari tab out to create a separate window, opened Mission Control, then clicked on the Safari window and dragged it to the small image of the other desktop.
The window stayed in the other desktop and now the function of dragging Safari windows to other desktops has returned.

You mean something like this:
private int currentNumber =0;
private int total = 0;
private JTextField Display = new JTextField(10);
private JtextField Current = new JTextField(10);
// Add all your buttons correctly
// Try using a GridLayout to make it easier
// blah blah
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent event )
int number = -1;
String Command = event.getActionCommand();
// Play your sound here.....
doPlaySound();
try
   number = Integer.parseInt( command );
catch( NumberFormatException NFE )
    //ignore
if( number != -1 )
    doIsNumber( number );
    return;   // don't process further
if( command == "Enter" )
    doEnter();
    return;
if(command == "Plus" )
    doPlus();
    return;
// and so on
}//end actionPerformed
private void doNumber( int number )
   String S;
    currentNumber = ( currentNumber * 10 ) + number;
    S = Integer.tostring( currentNumber ); //cant remember if that throws anything
   Current.setText( S ); //Display Work Number
private void doPlus()
    String S;
    total = total + currentNumber;
    currentNumber = 0;
    Current.setText("");
    S = Integer.toString( total );
    Display.setText( S );
private void doEnter()
    total = currentNumber;
    currentNumber = 0;
    Current.setText( "");
    Display.setText( Integer.toString( total ) );
private void doDivide()
     System.out.println("Err you got to be kidding");
}yeh and I'd definitely go for a GridLayout()
4 * 4, with JLabels for the blank filler parts......
So does this help
