Drag and drop not recognizing duplicates?

Everytime I drag and drop a pic off of like Facebook or anywhere else into iPhoto, about 5 pics (duplicates) appear and then it hangs on one and asks how I'd like to handle duplicates. I check do NOT import and handle all future duplicates similarly. It then proceeds to import from somewhere 75 duplicate pics (the same ones every time but from various events). Occasionally, iphoto adds a more recent pic to the list that it likes to duplicate. I didn't discover this was happening until I tried to sort faces and I discovered I literally had hundreds of the same pics. I deleted manually all but one set and now every time I drag in a pic, I have to manually delete 75 pics that are duplicates.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Interesting. That option does appear in Safari, but not in Foxfire. Safari worked correctly both the way you told me to do it AND by dragging and dropping, so I guess it has something to do with Foxfire and the latest version of iPhoto. It started apparently about the time I upgraded the iLife package. Thank you.
Anyone have ideas or experiencing the same issue with Foxfire?

    Why does drag and drop not work?

    Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
    If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
    If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

    Drag and drop not working.  When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program.  Happens in finder numbers, firefox, and when trying to move any file from the downloads folder.
    This is a serious pain.
    Please help.

    Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".

  • Drag and Drop not working since last software update

    Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving  an icon on the doc and the same thing occured.  YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Drag and drop notes from mail onto an ical date

    I've had some trouble dragging and dropping notes onto an ical date. It shows up as some lengthy message, probably its address on the hard drive, and when I open it, I can't make changes to it. Where can I make a suggestion to apple on how to improve the synchonicity of these 2 apps? Ideally, I'd like to just drag and drop a note, such as a to do list, onto an ical date, and be able to make changes to it there. Or, am I mistaken? Are the notes and to dos actually saved on a mac server, not on my computer somewhere?
    Thanks!
    Rod

    The "lengthy message" is simply the message ID in Mail. If you drag the message to iCal, it will simply set up a link back to that message.
    If you drag text from Mail, you will get a new event with all that text as the event title.
    I suspect what you want can be achieved by creating an event, naming it and setting its time etc then opening the edit popup and dragging your text or email message onto the notes field at the foot of that popup.

  • PowerMac 5.1 drag and drop not working, any suggestions?

    Powers Mid 2010 5.1 running 10.10.3, drag and drop not working smoothly, won't engage to drag. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the return, well, just trying to relocate a web screen or move a saved application from the desktop into a folder. I use Final Cut Pro Ten extensively and sometimes I want to drag something off my desktop into the time line on the FCPX. When I left click and hold on the item to drag it doesn't seem to engage then when it does move it quits along the way to the drop point. I hope that makes since too you? I use a Logitech two button with a scroll wheel wired mouse and have twin 32" monitors. Thanks Latranner

  • Flash drag and drop not working on Firefox for android browser

    Drag and drop functionality is not working using Firefox Browser for Android on tablet. We tested with flash action script 2.0 & 3.0 content, both have same issue. Specs of the tab and OS are as follows.
    Android - Kitkat 4.4.2
    Tab models - Lenovo A7600H and Samsung Tab4 T531
    Please refer to a previous case raised on the same issue here at this link (Case 1029615) - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029615
    Additionally, we observed that the object on which Drag and Drop event was triggered, is moving little bit when we double tap.
    Does Firefox provide any libraries to support Drag and Drop functionality on Flash? We are using Geekoview api to execute flash content in our app. Will the same support be provided in Geekoview as well?
    Are there other folks facing the same issue? Is there a solution or workaround to get this feature running?

    Flash on Android is no longer supported by Adobe. While Firefox does support basic functionality we mainly focus on legacy video applications. You may run into issues with Flash and Geckoview. I doubt we have any resources to support that configuration.

  • Drag and drop not working in PE 12, MacOS 10.7.5 (Lion)

    I "copied" the icon for the Photoshop Elements 12 Editor to the dock.  When I drag and drop a photo icon (example, JPG or NEF) to the Elements Editor icon in the dock, nothing happens -- Elements does not open.  The photo icon just "pops" back to the folder I was dragging it from.  Every previous version of Elements that I've used behaved like any other Mac application and opened the photo (with an NEF file, the photo opened properly in ACR).  Other Mac applications like Preview open a file just fine when it I drag and drop the file on the application icon.
    I tried the same experiment with both the Editor and Organizer icons in my Applications folder and got the same results (the application did not open the file).
    I skimmed through the PE Preferences to see if there was some kind of new preference for "drag and drop" behavior but didn't find anything.
    So, what am I missing?  How can I get PE 12 to open a file when I drag and drop a photo icon onto the Editor (or if I really have to, the Organizer) icon?

    Drag & drop works fine for me on 10.9
    You have possibly copied the wrong icon, The application is located in Support Files.
    Applications >> Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 >> Support Files
    Locate Photoshop Elements 12 Editor inside the Support Files Folder.

  • Drag and Drop not working in iPhoto

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro running Lion, and recently when I try to drag and drop in iPhoto, it stops working.  I want to drag photos from iPhoto to a folder on my desktop in order to upload those pictures online.  I have never had a problem with drag and drop in Snow Leopard, but suddenly Lion does not want to let me do it.
    I checked around and found out about repair permissions, which I did, then I restarted the computer.  Drag and Drop worked for a few minutes, then all the sudden it wouldn't let me again.  I was in the same album, trying to drag and drop the same group of pictures, and nothing had changed when it just stopped working again.  I really don't want to have to restart the computer EVERY time it wont let me do this.  Does anyone have any other advice?  Command copy/paste works for now, but drag and drop is just easier so I'd like to get the issue resolved!  Oh, and my software is completely up to date as well.

    Does anybody have any ideas?
    I've updated to the new version of iTunes since I originally posted this,
    but the drag and drop feature is still not working. This is making it
    impossible for me to update anything on my iPod.
    Thanks!

    Derek,IE11 is having some compatibility issues with the share point.Apart from IE11,it should work on IE10,9 and Firefox and chrome as well.
    Please check the links below that explains the issues with IE11 and the functionality of Drag and drop and limitations as-well.
    1.Since SharePoint 2013 fully support IE 32-bit version above 7, there might be compatibility issue with other browsers. I’d recommend you use IE 8,9,10 32-bit for optimal Performance.
    2. Open the same document library in Internet Explorer as this functions does not work with Firefox or Chrome by default
    3. Make sure the IE (Internet Explorer) Version should be 32-bit and not a 64-bit

  • Drag and Drop not working in iTunes 12.1.0.71

    I've been working with iTunes on a PC for years - so I'm embarrassed I can't figure this out.  As recently as a few weeks ago, I could drag and drop movies and music from Windows Explorer into iTunes 12.1.0.71- now it's not working.  Even using the menus for File - Add File to the Library isn't working.  Did something change in this release?

    Sorry 1 correction on my earlier post.  Install iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16) NOT 12.1.0.71!
    Thanks Guys!  This fixed me up.
    I uninstalled
    - All  Apple Packages
    - Bonjour
    - iTunes
    - Quick Time packages
    Deleted the Apple, iTunes, & Quick Times folders:
    - c:\Program Files
    - c:\Program Files (x86)
    - C:\Program Data
    - C:\Users\%profile%\AppData\Local
    - C:\Users\%profile%\AppData\LocalLow
    - C:\Users\%profile%\AppData\Roaming
    Rebooted

    Installed the newest QuickTime 7.7.6
    and Bingo!  Hopefully the next iTunes release addresses the issue moving forward.
    Thanks Again!

  • Drag and drop not working correctly.

    I've got a 2nd monitor connected to my iMac 27".
    Before, whenever I had a finder (also happens on Adobe Bridge) window open on the other monitor and I drag and drop to the desktop, it would drop the file in the exact spot I dropped it at. Now, for some reason whenever I try to drag and drop, it puts in onto my "Imac monitor" desktop - not the second monitor where I dropped it. Anyone ever experienced this or have any solutions. It may sound like a little thing, but whenever I'm working it just adds an extra step to my process. I appreciate it!!

    Hi, not on 10.8 right now, but in Finder>View munu>Show View options, try unchecking Keep Arranged by.
