Drag and drop screen sharing

I have been able to successfully connect to another iMac on my wirless network with screen sharing. I cannot figure out how take a file on the remote desktop and drag and drop it on to the compuer that I am working on using screen sharing...

From +*Take Control of Screen Sharing in Leopard:*+
"GET BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY WITH VNC
VNC is a widely used remote screen control technology that underlies
Leopard’s Screen Sharing software, and that Apple previously
packaged and continues to ship with Apple Remote Desktop (ARD).
VNC clients are available for nearly every platform, including nearly
every release of Mac OS X. There’s even a version for a “jailbroken”
iPhone—one that’s been modified to allow third-party software
installation.
VNC service is split into client and server components: a client is a
viewer; the server handles access to a computer’s screen and manages
input from the remote user.
Leopard’s pair: In Leopard, the server is the Screen Sharing
service in the Sharing preference pane, and the client is the Screen
Sharing application, which the Finder launches if needed.
It would be neat if Leopard could be controlled by and access VNC
clients, right? Well, it can, using either Leopard’s built-in support or
third-party software. Leopard’s support, built into the Screen Sharing
service controlled via the Sharing system preference pane, is just fine,
but if you need more options, you might consider an alternative; see
the sidebar Picking VNC Software, a few pages ahead, for details."

How to drag and drop from shared library to iphone/ipad?

Since our Mac Pro has more storage, that's where I keep our iTunes videos, to avoid taking up space on my wife's laptop. Sharing the libraries works ok, except for one issue.
When my wife wants to put movies onto her iPhone or iPad, iTunes won't let her drag and drop them directly from the shared library. She can copy them just fine to her local library and from there to the devices, but that is cumbersome and takes up disk space.
Please don't tell me it isn't possible because we did have it working for some time, I just don't know what's changed. The devices are set to "manually manage", drag and drop works locally, just not from the share.
Thanks!

Take a look at this tutorial: [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/dnd.html]How to Use Drag and Drop and Data Transfer.
If you read it carefully and study the samples, I think you should get rid of your first question.
Concerning the second question, you can overwrite the isCellEditable(int row, int column) method to return false. This will block any editing from the table.
Hope this helped,
Regards.

Cannot drag and drop when screen sharing

When i try to drag and drop files, whilst i'm screen sharing with my mac at work, i just get a message in the file transfer window, saying that 'ichat waiting for mac to accept file transfer'. But i don't get a dialogue box asking me to accept the file. this happens both ways, so when i drag a file from my macbook to my mac mini at work nothing happens and vice-versa.
I have the mac at work set up to auto accept file transfers and screen sharing. The annoying thing is, that when i take my macbook to work, and both machines are sharing the same connection, the file transferring works perfectly.
I'm assuming its something to do with my router at home, but i cant work out what i need to do. anyone got any ideas?
Both macs are running iChat 4.0.5 and are using google accounts.

I cant drag and drop in Screen sharing

I have my 2 macs connected via ethernet cable and cant drag and drop or share files from my iMac G5 to my PM G4 QS- both are running 10.5.8--
any i dea why? i can share files with the other macs vie wirelesconnections on my network....

Hi
I think I know what's happening as I'm having the same problem.
Under previous iPhotos you could look at the main viewer and drag a photo or multiple photos from there to an already created album.
Now, it only appears that you can drag an entire event from the events window to an album, even when you click on an event to open it, you can't drag individual photos from an event to an album.
So how do we add individual photos to an album??

Homesharing won't drag and drop songs onto a shared library

Homesharing won't drag and drop songs onto a shared library. Both computers are authorized and both have "homesharing" turned on. Any help?

Rather than dragging and dropping, try this.
In the computer you're moving music to, select the home shared library you're moving music from, as per the following screenshot:
Select the songs you want to transfer. Now click the "Import" button down in the the bottom-right-hand corner of the screen, as per the following screenshot:

Can shared actions reset with drag and drop?

I'm currently creating an interactive module where the learner will need to drag and drop grey squares to the correct area on the screen. If you see my picture below, I have a possible 20 grey squares needing to be dragged and dropped for each terminal that's on the lower right of the screen capture. I've created a shared action that shows different wires moving for each of the 20 grey squares moving from the upper image to the lower right image of the screen. This is painstakingly time consuming, but worth the effect. The problem I have stems from the drag and drop's "reset" button. The "reset" button helps set the grey squares that are my drag sources to their original positions, but it does not reset the shared actions that correspond to the movement of each grey square. Is there any way I can reset not only the drag sources, but also the shared actions associated with the drag sources? Any help is truly appreciated.

How do I drag and drop files between computers when using Home Sharing in ITunes?

How can I drag music files between computers while using Home Sharing? An older version of ITunes had a Home Sharing icon in the column browser near the playlist so it was easy to drag and drop.

Hello cacalenni,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you wish to learn how to import songs using Home Sharing in the new iTunes. The following resource should assist you in doing so:

Drag and Drop from a screen device (:0.0) to another (:0.1)

Hello,
Working with JDK 1.4 I have used the drag and drop in order to drag objects from a JFrame displayed in the logical screen :0.0 to another one, working in the same JVM, but displayed in the logical screen :0.1. This work fine.
Now, I'm usin the JDK 1.5. With the same code, the drag operation does not work. During the drag operation, I can not move the mouse from one screen to another. The mouse is "blocked" in the source logical screen. The same code works with the JDK1.4 ? I have searched in the forum and I don't find any post on that subject ?
The drag and drop is not compliant with the JDk 1.4 ? What can I do to resolve this problem ?
Thanks you for yours answers !!
Bruno

I have change my drag and drop implementation. The old one uses the DragGestureListener. Now, I just use the TransfertHandler.
The result in exactly the same : When the mouse reach the screen border, you can not move it to the other screen...
Can someone try whith its application ?
Have someone have a solution.... It is very important for my project.
Thanks a lot !

Can't load my ipod nano from itunes on a mac; that is, I can't drag and drop an mp3 file (of a speech) from iTunes to my iPod--though the iPod shows up on iTunes. My nano is the brand new touch screen.

I received the new iPod Nano with the touch screen for Christmas. I have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.8. I have iTunes 10 on my system. I cannot drag and drop MP3 files from iTunes to my iPod--though it appears that iTunes recognizes my iPod--it shows up on the Devices menu on the left side of iTunes. My wife--a long-time Mac user--kidded me that I didn't know what I was doing, Then she tried to load my iPod and failed as well. Any suggestions?

Is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?

ITunes 11 and no ability to drag and drop via home sharing...

I can find NO way to drag and drop playlists via home sharing now with Itunes 11...any help appreciated.

PROBLEM SOLVED -
I found this on someone else's post on another website...
You have to sign into your home sharing with the SAME apple ID and password on each computer. It's common for people to want to put their individual/own ID and password on "their" computer, but that is not correct to fully authorize home share. Even on someone else's machine on your network, you still use the same apple ID and password for all computers you want to home share with. The other computer isn't getting access to your account or anything like that. You just have to use the same ID and password on each machine and that will enable home share among all home share computers that logged in with that ID and password. Otherwise you will just be able to see and stream the other computer's content, but you will not be able to copy it over or drag and drop.

Can't Drag and Drop in Home Sharing

I just enabled home sharing between my desktop mac and my macbook pro. Can see all music (from the desktop) and playlists, but cannot drag and drop individual songs or playlists between the two. Any advice on this?
Also, if I import music library will it bring playlists too, or just songs?

When I try to drag and drop to combine events in iPhoto, the drag accelerates out of control when it reaches the top or bottom of the screen. How can I slow it down?

from iphoto Help
Album overview
A photo album in iPhoto is just like one you would create with printed photos: It’s a collection of photos you select from your library and arrange in the order you want.
You can create photo albums to:
Focus on a particular subject, such as your favorite nature photos
Group pictures that you want to send to a friend, post on a webpage, or burn to a CD or DVD
Gather a decade of anniversary photos
iPhoto has two kinds of photo albums:
Standard photo albums: You create these albums (B, shown below) by selecting particular photos. You can add new photos by dragging them to the album (or using the Add To button), and you can remove photos at any time. All adding and removing is done manually; iPhoto doesn’t update standard albums automatically as you import new photos.
Smart Albums: iPhoto creates these albums for you, based on criteria your specify. iPhoto then updates Smart Albums (A, shown above) for you as your library changes. For example, you could create a Smart Album containing:
Photos of specific people, such as your family members. As you import new photos, iPhoto uses Faces to detect your family members, and automatically adds new photos of them to the Smart Album (after you’ve confirmed the matches in Faces).
All the photos of your daughter taken on school field trips in third grade. Use Faces (to name your daughter) and keywords (to mark certain photos or events as “field trips”) to help specify the photos you want iPhoto to place in that Smart Album.
Only photos taken with a specific camera, or photos matching other Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) information.
You can make as many albums as you like, and you can include the same photo in several albums without making multiple copies of it.
After you create an album, such as “Australia Adventures,” it appears in your Source list below Albums.
In full-screen view, the album appears as a stack of photos below Albums.
To further organize your library, you can group several albums (along with slideshows and projects) into a folder. For example, you could create a folder containing several years of birthday albums or a collection of albums with photos of your camping trips.
To create a folder, see “Create a folder in the Source list and move items into it” in “Customize the Source list”.
Folders appear only in the Source list, not in full-screen view.
Note: A photo album is different from a photo book, which is a collection of photos you create to get professionally printed and bound. See this topic: Photo book overview.

Unable to drag and drop mp4 movies into itunes but the file will import and play using home sharing

Strange problem with my brothers MacBook.
The movie files were converted to mp4 format ready to be played on an iphone and I imported them into my iTunes on an iMac with no problems.
Files were also saved onto a flash drive which I passed on to my brother.
My brother was unable to import files by drag and drop and also by "add to library", we even copied and pasted files from the flash drive to the desktop but that also didn't work.
Using "home sharing the movies imported and played with no problems.
Any ideas why this is happening?

This appears to be a long-standing bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634720
and the accepted workaround is stated in comment 11.
Oddly, it's possible to do the reverse, i.e. drag multiple eml files from Explorer to a TB folder.
