Why won't AI let me drag the selection icon into a Live Paint group?

I routinely add paths to existing Live Paint Groups, by dragging a path that is outside the group, into the LP group. But AI won't let me drag the "selection icon" from a nested layer, into an existing LP Group. Why?
It seems I'm requesting the same action, but AI won't allow the icon to be dragged into the group. I have to either open the layer and drag the objects directly, or drag the objects into the main layer, then into the Live Paint Group. I think this is an interface flaw. Does anyone follow me and have an observation?
FYI… I realize I could jump into the Live Paint Group using Isolation mode, but that takes extra steps and makes the template less useful.

Live Paint groups can't contain sublayers. When attempting to drag a layer/sub-layer into a Live Paint group you are attempting to add a sub-layer, which Live Paint does not support.
You can drag individual objects into the Live Paint group because they are objects, not layers.
The "Layers" panel is somewhat of a misnomer, it's actually a "Layers and Objects" panel and each will have it's own restrictions.

  • Why "Drag the Firefox Icon into the Applications folder" always pops up?

    i follow the steps shown to install firefox on mac. Firefox is working well except every time when i lauch it, "Drag the Firefox Icon into the Applications folder" always pops up? Can you help me solve the problem?
    Thank you!

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Why won't Firefox let me use the 'Enlarge' feature on E bay, when other browsers will?

    Firefox will not let me use the feature 'Enlarge' when trying to view products on E bay. It does allow me to use the 'zoom' feature which is odd that it will do one thi9ng, but not the other. I have no problem using the 'enlarge' feature when I use Opera, Sea Monkey or IE7.

    Firefox should not modify the Windows mouse settings; that is troubling.
    If this problem started around the time of Firefox 30, perhaps it's this:
    Firefox 30 switched many plugins from "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate". The purpose of this change was to require your permission for untrusted sites to use plugins. However, some plugins that affect the user interface and/or operate globally on all pages do not work well with this setting and unpredictable UI breakage can result.
    Could you review your plugins as follows:
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. Then I suggest:
    * For "in-page"/"player" plugins like Flash, Silverlight, or Java, no changes are needed
    * For global plugins like fingerprint readers or security software, switch to either:
    ** "Always Activate" if you use this plugin on a regular basis
    ** "Never Activate" if this plugin is not important or very rarely used
    If in doubt, set "Never Activate".
    This might not take effect immediately in the current window, but should work in new windows, or after you exit and restart Firefox.
    Any difference?

  • I cannot open Firefox without being prompted to drag the Firefox icon into My Applications. It also does not let me eject the drive while Firefox is open. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated.

    I use a Mac. OS X.
    I click on the Firefox icon to go online.
    It opens up the drive that I originally used to install the update(3.6.15). I have to select open because it is an unknown application.
    Firefox opens to the homepage.
    I try to eject the drive.
    It says "The disk 'Firefox' cannot be ejected because 'Firefox' is using it. Quit the application and try to eject the disk again."
    I do that.
    The same thing happens again and again.
    I try to download the update again.
    Same thing.
    I won't download the Firefox 4 RC because it makes my online browsing very slow.

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.

  • When prompted, drag the Firefox icon into the image of your Applications folder. Doesn't happen; what next?

    Trying to upgrade to latest version of Firefox as recommended. Have downloaded file as directed. Then nothing happens. Tried to add troubleshooter and got: "Troubleshooter 1.1a could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.6."

  • Follow-up to earlier question; you asked me by email to confirm that I asked a question. I did. The question was: if I don't get a prompt to drag the ff icon into my Applications file, how do I do so?

    I downloaded the latest version of Firefox as requested. I was told to drag the icon to my Application file when prompted. The download was successful, but I never got the prompt. And so I still have the old version of Firefox (3.6.24) and the home page still tells me I'm using an out-dated version. So what do I do?

  • Why won't Logic let me bounce the Metronome?

    I've tried everything I can think of.
    I need an audio file of the Metronome - why is that so difficult?
    -Kim

    Kim I know this must be frustrating, but it does work, and that's been confirmed not only by myself but others in the other Logic forum who were asking why they couldn't hear the click in their bounce. They all chose "REALTIME BOUNCE" and it worked. So something is different in your setup, I'm not sure what it is. My main outs are 1-2, I bounce to WAV, 16 bit, other than that I can't think of anything odd that I do. I actually did it by soloing a track with nothing on it, turning on the click, and doing a realtime bounce. The resulting file was a click. I'm using the MPC click, for what it's worth. Logic 8.02, System 10.5.4 (but it's been working like this for several systems now). The click is assigned to 1-2. Make sure of course, that you have "Click while playing" chosen. If I think of anything else I'll chime back in....

  • Why won't itunes let me download the songs I've purchased?

    About a week or two ago I pre-ordered the new A7x album (which came out today) and it says all the songs are purchesed but it wont let me download them. What do I do?

    Hey Trevsauce,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The following article outlines the procedure of pre-orders and redeeming the download:
    Downloading a pre-ordered item
    When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.
    If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloads to begin downloading your pre-order.

  • Why won't photoshop let me save my images that I edit?

    I have photoshop CS6 and am on a Mac. The photos that I am trying to edit are ones that I have taken and uploaded but everytime I try to save them after editing, I get this message, "the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file." Why? There is no other program using the file, I am the only one who has permission. I drag the lock icon into the trash but that doesn't do anything. How do I fix this?

    Photoshop is just reporting an error that the OS returned.
    Yes, there is a problem with permissions, or another application is using the file (which can include the Finder, due to some bugs in the Finder).
    You will have to troubleshoot the directory to make sure you have permission to save there, and double check that no other application is using the file.

  • GarageBand won't let me drag and drop songs into the timeline.

    GarageBand won't let me drag and drop songs into the timeline.  It did before, now all of a sudden it won't... anyone know why?
    I am dragging them from iTunes, and it has never been an issue before.  I have used AAC, MP3, and AIFF before and never had an issue.
    Is there a setting possibly that I need to change?

    Same with me, Lion is a cool OS but the updates iTunes has nothing but problems. I can't even drag song to my desktop. You can try finding the song through iTunes music folder but the song I wanted wasn't there. To get there look at this artical http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391. to help you find that song.
