Suddenly cannot drag objects... tried several possible solutions without success so far.

All of a sudden I can't drag objects in an InDesign document (well, I guess it's ANY document. I've only tested a few). I can drag handles/corners to resize an object; Can I move an object with arrow keys; I can move objects using the object > transform > move; but I can't drag anything with the mouse/trackpad.

This is the case with all objects of all the documents that I tested (text-objects) and objects in the image. I tried to use a trackpad and mouse. I checked to make sure that the objects locked or not anchored. I trashed preferences. Still no luck.

I use InDesign CS4 on Mac Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I better touch tool installed - with the trackpad, I did all actions that are specific to InDesign, but with the mouse, I do to turn off two fingers scrolling in the application. The trackpad is the only new thing on the computer...

Any ideas?

First thing I would try is to uninstall the best tool to touch.

And you say you trashed the prefs, but I like to be sure that you really did a thorough job. For ID there are two files that need to be replaced, and they live in different folders, so sometimes users do half the work. Please see replace your preferences

  • Trying to download music without success

    I tried to download music on my treo 650 (using the sd card) from real player without success, need help.

    Hello and welcome to the Community Forums of Palm.

    We will need a lot more information to help you.

    First, have you read the article in your User Guide , listening to music?

    How have you tried to download music?  What happens when you do?

    What is your operating system (Windows XP, Windows Vista... 32 bit? or 64-bit?) ?

    What version of Palm Desktop are you using?

    What kind of music files... What size are they?  They are files you ripped yourself?  You bought somewhere... with DRM (copy protection) of the files?

    The way simpler and faster to put the music files on your SD card is to use a card reader (available for $10-20 at most department stores), create a folder in the root called audio directory and drag-and - drop your music files (only unprotected files) in the audio directory.

    [p.s.  [I deleted your message duplicate in the jury of Hotsync... one post per subject is enough, thank you.]

    @careyonadobe, to add to the answer of Thomas, another thing, you can try to do is do not use the list "Preset" editors pick "Photoshop". Instead, click on '+' sign on my screenshot below, browse to the location of Photoshop, select the .exe or .app for Photoshop file in your hard drive. See if it helps.

    I tried to change my privacy settings for history to remember the history of custom settings and he returned always to remember history. I tried all the fixes including refreshing Firefox, by removing the prefs.js file, check my Norton Security Suite to be sure that Firefox Cleanup is disabled, synchronization is turned off and all the other recommendations I can find with an online search of the problem. Another that a deletion total Firefox and fresh installation is there any other recommendation that I can try allowing the change in my setting of the story.
    The reason why I ask is recently that my browser does not store cookies permanently. When I try to enter a password sites (my Bank for example), I have to answer a question before you enter my password. I have to do this every day. Previously, I was able to save the computer and should not be the question that arises, unless I have cleared my cache, history and cookies. However, it seems that cookies seem to disappear when I close the computer power off or after an unknown period of time and I have to go through the procedure to properly identify myself and my computer on the site. This is a private computer with no access by someone else and it became cumbersome to re-enter the requested information whenever I go to some of my usual sites.
    I use Windows 7 Ultimate with 37.0.1 Firefox as my browser. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The problem only occurs when you restart Windows and not between the closing and startup of Firefox without having to restart Windows?

    Outside Norton, do you have any other utility that can 'clean up' browser like CCleaner settings?

    This is the error message when you try to install my CS6 Design and Web Premium, I received. I tried installing on another computer using Windows 7 without any problem, so I tend to believe that the problem is with Windows 7 on my machine. I recently had to do a clean install of the original operating system (Vista) and then to reload my upgrade to Windows 7. I tried to close all programs, including my Microsoft Security Suite and reinstall with the same result. I also tried to rename the Files\Common\Adobe\OOBE to OOBE.bak and resettlement program. I got the same result. I checked the logs of the fatal errors and did not. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • Ink Deskjet F4580 HP60 horizontal lines, tried all possible solutions

    I have a HP Deskjet F4580 (old, I know) who has been sitting in my closet for about a year. I just bought a total amount of new ink for it (and probably paid more ink than the printer's worth), but while the black ink works fine, color ink does not work, send me white lines through the bands of color on every possible test or diagnostic page that I could possibly print. I cleaned the cartridges, clean the contacts, reset the printer, run the Print nozzle cleaning and run alignments. I'm on the tipping point of dreaming all violent means that I could possibly throw this printer in a way that would make the $75 I spent on ink is worth it. ALL suggestions are welcome, but I have all my scowering prowess tech past the internet for clues, so please do not suggest a forum search. What baffles me the most, is that since several cartridges do not work, I guess that the problem to be with the printer itself, but the black cartridge works fine.

    Thank you all,.

    Ryan

    I would say that the troubleshooting steps described in the paper here.  When you print a diagnostic page as on the solution six are there lines across the three colors in the same place?  If yes the problem is almost certainly an electrical contact between the printer and cartridge or a failure.  To remedy this, I suggest to clean the contacts of the cartridge and printer as shown in the document here.  (It is a different model, but the procedure is the same.)

    If this does not resolve the issue please scan and post you printed the diagnosis page.  Black information serial number in line 11. privacy.

  • White screen - tried all possible solutions and still no progress!

    I'm not new to the forum of sansa, but I've never posted. This problem has been so stubborn that I took the time to register so I could get help.

    I own a fuze 4 GB black with 2.03.31 firmware version.

    The screen went blank and will not change. All functions of the unit seems normal. I know that this problem has come up with many people and I lived all the pages on this forum about her.

    However, I formatted the "rocket" several times, demoted and updated the firmware (by the sansa updater and manually, both MSC and MTP), and still the problem remains.

    Am I missing something, or it's time to drop it?

    As you obvoiusly discovered lurking around the forum, there are many complaints of the "WSS" (white screen Syndrome) here. Some of the reasons & causes are known, some are not. Some are fixable, some are not.

    There is a user Forum. We have all the answers. Don't get me wrong; I'm glad you signed and welcome in the community. It's a good place and you can learn a lot by interacting with the others here, but...

    There comes a point where you have to call the Pros (in this case, a Support technique SanDisk) and let him handle it. If they cannot find a solution, they can get you set up with an RMA (returned merchandise authorization) and replace the unit for you if it is still under warranty.

    This, in my view, would be this time.

  • Suddenly cannot drag or drop more files in windows 7 (64-bit)

    Hello world

    I have a new laptop to Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). I did not install new programs (auto-mises updated either) or what I know changed settings, but suddenly today, I is no longer drag and drop files on my laptop... it is everywhere, but more significantly on the desktop, where I put the files usually group then where I want. If I want to move files from the desktop to My Documents, I must now cut and paste!

    What is going on?

    Have I inadvertently changed a setting? How can I get this function return because it is vital!

    Sincerely and thank you,.

    Judd

    It sounds too simple to work, but it worked for me:

    (1) find an affected icon.

    (2) click and HOLD the icon with the left mouse button.

    3) press ESC now left button of the mouse.

    That's all!  This drove me crazy.  It had nothing to do with the registry entries or something else.  Simply a failure & operation drag move which had not left.  Even rebooting worked only temporarily, so I suspect that my Esc key may have been stuck down, or at least the thought system that was!

    My particular variant of this problem appears to be either a Virtual Machine taking the focus of the mouse, or a window of browser (I was running a virtual machine within a browser window) can be interrupted during the action of the mouse.

    Thanks to @_Nige for the quick fix.

  • Is there a way to delete a nonexistent shared computer? I tried all possible solutions, I could find here, but for some reason I can't remove it.

    I already disabled all devices even sharing folders by going to system preferences. Here is a picture of a computer does not exist apparently shared in my laptop (unless this unit is my printer?). Anyone could explain what it is or how to turn it off completely. I can also extract information from this "PC."

    Thanks in advance.

    "Shared" means made available to see you and possibly use.

    This does not mean that you share something in return. Ignore it.
