Cannot move icons or highlighted text

I just bought a new MacBook and can't highlight text using the trackpad or move normal icons with the 3 finger drag. I don't see anywhere in the settings to change that. I do something wrong after all these years?

Thank you.

Maybe this will help. https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204609

  • Cannot move icons with the new ios 10.01 update

    I just updated my iphone 6 Plus and cannot move my icons of the screen in the screen or a screen.  WITHOUT jiggle with my finger on the icon.  Any suggestions?  Thank you

    Try a forced reboot: hold down the House and on the buttons until the unit turns off. Ignore the cursor off if it appears. Once completed, if it does not start on it own, turn off power with the key On. In some cases, it also contributes to double click the Home button and close all applications before restarting.

  • Cannot move icons on the desktop or copy & paste

    All of a sudden I can't move my desktop icons (despite the parameter align to the grid or auto align). I can not copy & paste also. I started using the safe, but it's the same thing like that. I also tried the system restore, but nothing works. I noticed the problem copy & paste a few days ago, but since I don't use that much, it never crossed my mind it was a problem. What he does now is to highlight a complete word (as in copy - paste), even if I don't have to. I have a 2 years old Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Any suggestions?

    Hi stephanie

    Thank you for your response. I had ran several different scans & did the system restore... It turns out it was my wireless mouse. Replaced the mouse & everything will work as before.

  • Cannot move to type the text implies when only 1 character or deletion

    I recorded a few slides where the typing is the addition of a number to a number in a form.

    It records very well but when I come to edit slides typing appears at the beginning of the slide.
    I can move only between 0 seconds to 0.5 seconds and back, regardless of the duration of the slide.
    This also happens when I recorded the deletion of a selected block of text.

    More strike periods can be moved along the timeline completely happy and can be shortened or

    elongated at will, just not these really short ones.

    I must be able to show some of this typing a few seconds into the slide. Is it possible to do

    without having to duplicate my slides and have the previous slide without text?

    See you soon

  • Cannot move anything in the browser - icons, tabs, etc.

    I've just upgraded to Firefox 12.0 and have found that I can't do anything to drag anywhere. At first, I thought it was a problem with the Menu Editor extension - I was trying to reposition a component menu, just after doing the upgrade to v11.0. In the Options window the Menu editor that can be done simply by dragging, but it did not work.

    I spent the time wrong with it until I realized that the other drag-type features do not work. In order to found:

    1. Cannot reorganize (drag / move) tabs.
    2. Cannot move the tab stop tab bar to open in another window.
    3. Cannot reorganize bookmarks and favicons on personal bar. Open the context menu of bookmarks toolbar and its commands work.
    4. Cannot move tabs to the bar Favorites or folder.
    5. [Window to customize open] cannot drag items to or from the window customize and cannot rearrange or move the Navigation bar or the bar Add on icons.

    There may be questions focused more on the trail, but they are the only ones I can think of and have found. I don't know if I'd known, on the top of my head, extension interfaces accommodate slide they would fail to work. Basically, nothing moves when I click on it with the cursor and try to drag. I don't get any feedback as circle with slash graphic.

    This may be a conflict extension but before I start to switch to many ad - ons that someone might know if this is a new feature setting, I don't know, that was the case before, when I updated.

    I've also seen a recent thread open when the person has a similar problem (but on a Mac - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/926256?s=can%27t+drag+and+drop & r = 11 & e = & did = s). I wonder if there are perhaps other elements of that this person also cannot move, but not has not yet discovered, and if this problem and mine is perhaps related.

    After following the instructions with the following...

    ... I determined that my theme or a corrupt localstore.rdf were the cause of my problems.

    Then begins the troubleshooting extensions (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes?redirectlocale=en-US & redirectslug = Troubleshooting + extensions + and + themes).

    Hardware acceleration has been eliminated as a cause as it has never been activated.

    It turns out that, like the Mac user in the thread I linked above, Torbutton has been the cause of the problem. I thought that it unlikely just because it seemed so not related to how the problem was evident.

    Torbutton was not invalid he's turned off in the browser, so I considered it "not active".

    This message was posted on the first page of the Torbutton website last spring: "now that the Tor Browser Bundle includes a patched Firefox version, and because we have not enough resources to deal with the Firefox version developer accelerated schedule, the Torbutton toggle model is not recommended. "Users should use Tor Browser Bundle, do not install Torbutton themselves."

    Their "Active Torbutton Tickets" page includes two of the problems I had like individual bugs, "Torbutton add-on interferes with the buttons on toolbar add-ons (including his own)" and «torbutton disables the ability to drag and save quick links»

    They go to a variety of reasons, they no longer support the key in this blog (https://blog.torproject.org/blog/toggle-or-not-toggle-end-torbutton). Mainly for security reasons, partly because they cannot deal with the hourly output FF and last because users are reporting more broken features and incompatibilities with each new version of FF.

  • on my desktop, the icon, (text under the icon) are highlighted, is anyway to have just the text under the icon? Thank you

    on my desktop, the icon, (text under the icon) are highlighted, is anyway to have just the text under the icon? Thank you

    This is probably caused by your background color of your screen.  You can confirm this by:

    If you have a Web page on your screen, then you will need set the color manually by:

    (1) right click on your desktop and select "Properties".
    (2) this should bring up your "Display properties" dialog box  (You can also get it by going to your control panel and double-clicking on 'Display'.)
    3) click on the tab "Office".
    (4) on the bottom right of the dialog box, there is a 'Color' option and below which shows the colors of the office - this must match what you see on the screen.
    (5) simply change the color to whatever color you want and then click on the 'OK' button to close the "display properties".

    If you do not have any web content on your desktop, you can set the transparent icon labels by:

    (1) right-click on 'My Computer' then click 'properties '.
    2) click on the "Advanced" tab
    (3) in the 'Performance' section, click on the button "settings".
    (4) make sure that "shadows fall to use the desktop icon labels" is checked
    5) click on the 'OK' button to get out of the "Performance Options".
    "6) click on the 'OK' button to get out of" System Properties "
    (7) right click on desktop
    (8) mouse on "arrange icons by".
    (9) be sure that "Lock Web items on desktop" is unchecked.  (If it is, just click once.)

  • Mouse don't work in Microsoft Word to select text, or highlight text to copy or add features like bold/italic/underlined.

    After you paste an e-mail message in a Microsoft Word document (which I do all the time), my mouse no longer works to click anywhere in the document and it doesn't allow me to use the side scroll bar.  I can still click on the tabs and controls to the top of the page buttons up and down and up, but I can't highlight text underlined/bold/italic to copy or move in the document.  I use these features all the time and I am very frustrated.  I can still do all of these things in other applications such as email, Facebook, Internet, but not in Word.  Help, please.  I already checked my mouse settings and drivers and they are all up to date without errors.  I restarted my computer; the only step I can think is reinstall Microsoft Office Professional 2007.  I appreciate any help you can provide.  Respectfully, Julie

  • Cannot move any object in Adobe Muse

    All of a sudden every time I try and move any object - image, text etc. box... I get this error... and when I click OK, the program stops.  Makes it really hard to actually do any work.
    Screen Shot 2016-03-19 at 2.20.50 PM.png

    I tried to uninstall Muse and put it back - I've tried it in different sites, I'm working on and I get the same error every time.  NDMI/nativeDragEventHandler TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of an object error null reference seems to affect a lot of people, but I have not seen any real resolution... someone at - it something to recommend?

    It's Adobe Muse CC 2015.0.2.4 running on Mac OS X 10.11.3...

    Any help would be great appreciated!

  • Using an iPad, I can choose highlight text with a button at the bottom, but after every time that I've highlighted some of the text, I need to press the button again to continue to highlight. Is there another way to continue to highlight?

    Hello

    In Acrobat Reader mobile applications, the tools of comments (as point climax, strikethrough, underline, Sticky Notes) are not "sticky".  As you mentioned, you must select a feedback tool after each use.

    Would you submit a feature request form?

    Adobe Acrobat for iOS - feature request/Bug Report Form

    Here's another way to highlight the text.

    1. Long press (press and hold) on the text you want to highlight.
    2. Adjust the selection of text by moving the blue circle ("grabber") (right, left, up, down).
    3. Select to highlight in the context menu that appears.

    He still won't tools reviews "sticky."  But you do not need to activate the tool commenting and keep reaching out to the icon to highlight in the toolbar at the bottom.  If some users experience less cumbersome or annoying when adding point culminating/bar/stressed to a large number of pages in a PDF document.

    Thanks for the comments!

  • Breakpoint - not able to move the block of text at a breakpoint

    Adobe 2015.1.0.2309 Muse.

    I have a few breakpoints set on my page. When I jump to one of them my expectation is that I'll be able to format the page for this breakpoint.

    I want to move a block of text right of a picture to a picture below when I get to a certain page width. If I click on the breakpoint for the width of the page, but when I hover over the text block I have an icon that says 'Click to go straight at the stop'. When I rubbed it in my larger page break.

    Starting point:

    b01.JPG

    I want to move the text under the image block when I'm about to stop 750, so I post the width of the page at 750. However when I place the mouse on the text block I just get the message "click to go directly at the breakpoint.

    b02.JPG

    If I click on the Muse goes back to as in the first photo.

    How can I actually select me the text block, so I can re - position?

    Hello

    Screen captures, it seems that you have created the breakpoints on the master page. Master page breakpoints do not automatically carry over ordinary pages; You must explicitly create (click on the white triangle on the breakpoint bar to go to the location of the main breakpoint and then click on the button '+'). Once you have a breakpoint on the regular page, you will be able to replace the text block as you wish.

    I hope this helps.

  • What is this icon on my text box? It is the breaking copy in the text box.

    Can someone tell me what this little icon on the left side of the text box in the screenshot below? I tried to google it with no luck and I don't know what to do to turn it off then my text doesn't go haywire. I copied the text area of a document. INDD where the text has worked, then pasted into a document. Pre-existing INDD and when I go to move the text around the text box begins to align left, right and Center on its own.
    Screen Shot 2015-06-03 at 1.21.45 PM.png

    Looks like you pasted the frame on a master page. This icon appears on text blocks that reside on a Master.

    Not sure if the erratic behavior of alignment is however; Maybe something else on the page has wrapping applied... (?)

  • How do I highlight text in adobe reader PDF files?

    Hi, I'm solaine Veera in the United States.

    To highlight, I mean change the color of the selected text, as the function in word. Or what I need to paste the article into word to highlight? How is it possible.

    Thank you

    Solaine Veera

    Highlight and change the color of the text is not the same thing!

    Adobe Reader can highlight text using the highlight tool.  This cannot be a real text, not 'text' on a scanned image.

    To change the color of text you need Acrobat.
