Drag and dropping an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned.

If I drag and drop an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned. It winds up somewhere in the middle of my screen. Any way to have the address file land and stay where my mouse pointer is?

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

  • HT1386 Can I manually drag and drop a playlist from an itunes account different from my own?

    Yes but then all your music will be erased and replace by the new playlist.

  • HT1535 Does iTunes 11 allow for the "dragging" and "dropping" of music from a library onto a manually managed device?

    It appears that iTunes 11 does not allow for the "dragging" and "dropping" of music from a library onto a manually managed device.. is that true? I am trying to drag a playlist onto my iPhone. I've done it many times before on previous versions of iTunes but now that the menu is up in the heading, I can't drag the playlist onto the icon for my iPhone.

    No.
    Sync you are not syncing, the ONLY way to get items onto a manually managed device is to drag and drop.
    However, I feel a much simpler way is to create a playlist and add/remove songs from this playlist and autosync this playlist (or multiple playlists). I use about 6 or 7 playlists
    You can still also drag & drop songs while autosycning.

  • Is it possible to drag and drop an arrangement from another software program such as band-In -Box to garage band

    is it possible to drag and drop an arrangement from another music program like Band-ina-box into garage band

    GarageBand for iPad is a pretty closed system.
    The Song File
    You can only open GarageBand for iPad Song Files with the extension .band. Please note that those files look the same as the ones form GarageBand 11. However, they are only upwards compatible but not downward compatible. GarageBand iOS -> GarageBand OSX -> Logic.
    Audio Files
    You can import a wide variety of Audio Files into GarageBand (via iTunes File Sharing) to use in your Song. But any material from another app has to be mixed down first. Either as a single stereo mix or you mix each track separately and then import those separate files ("stems") into GarageBand. This is a typical procedure to move material to a different app,for example for mixing.
    Hope that helps

  • Drag and Drop an email from OutLook to JList.

    Hi All,
    Can anyone of you please guide me on how to implement drag and drop an email from microsoft outlook to JList.
    Thanks in advance.!

    It might just be Microsoft not using standards? I remember having a similar situation - I had an application that could have a zip entry fron 7-zip drag-and-dropped into it (came over as plain text, or maybe an InputStream, can't remember), but when you drill into a zip file with Windows (Vista at least), and try to drag-and-drop a zip entry from Windows Explorer, Java shows no dataflavors available. I just assumed Microsoft wasn't exporting the zip entry in any standard format (such as plain text).
    Sorry, I know that wasn't very helpful, just thought I'd share a similar experience. :)

    I suspected you used the eye icon on the timeline to hide the message, but that one has no impact whatsoever on the published version. It is only meant to be used for editing reasons on the stage, to hide objects temporarily on a crowded stage. It is confusing, certainly in CP8 where for both instances the same eye icon is used. In previous versions the Properties panel had a checkbox for 'Show in Output', which was IMO much clearer than this eye icon. But of course, that is only my personal opinion.

    Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
    However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
    What we found from out testing:
    - The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
    - The file can be closed and  Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
    - Also, until the  Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file. 
    Example Scenario:
    - User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
    - Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
    - User 1 saves his file and closes it - but  Dreamweaver is still open.
    - User 2 also saves his file and leaves  Dreamweaver  open.
    - The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
    - If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
    - Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
    Other information:
    - Files are opened directly from the server
    - Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
    - Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
    - The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
    - The users are usually working on the files all day
    - It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
    It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
    Anyone know if this is a known issue?
    Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
    Thanks

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

  • When I drag and drop an icon from the address bar to the desktop is does creat the shortcut but will not display the website icon, only the firefox icon, how can I display website icons?

    When I drag and drop a website icon from the Forefox address bar to the desk top, the short cut is created but the icon that appears is the firefox Icon. I want to disply the icon from the website that the short cut refers to. I have checked all I can think of in my computer to no avail.

    You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
    You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.

  • Drag and drop a URL from IE's address bar

    I have a Processing application written (by others) that uses [Andreas Schlagel's sDrop library|http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/drop/] to accept URLs dragged and dropped from the users' browsers' address bar. The application works fine for Chrome and for Firefox and for old versions of IE but not for IE 9 or IE 10. I'm investigating how to fix this.
    In the sDrop library [the Java code to handle the drop|http://code.google.com/p/sojamo/source/browse/trunk/src/sojamo/drop/DropHandler.java] uses the Java class DataFlavor which in turn defines a number of flavours:
    imageFlavor
    javaFileListFlavor
    javaSerializedObjectMimeType
    plainTextFlavor (deprecated)
    stringFlavor
    Over on StackOverflow one questioner enumerates the data formats offered by the different browsers when they drop and for IE he lists:
    UntrustedDragDrop
    msSourceUrl
    FileGroupDescriptor
    FileGroupDescriptorW
    FileContents
    UniformResourceLocator
    Effects: Link
    The URL format does not seem to match the DataFlavors given by the class. Is this where the two additional DataFlavors, javaJVMLocalObjectMimeType and javaRemoteObjectMimeType come into there own? If so, then can someone point me at any samples, examples, tutorials, or code snippets where a Java application is the successful drop target for a URL dragged from IE's address bar?

    Dragging an URL '''OR''' the 'favicon' does '''NOT''' work when you want to drag this to a sub 'folder' in your bookmarks. e.g. I drag an URL or favicon to Bookmarks, I have a sub-folder called 'Recipes' where I want to drop the dragged object. I position the mouse over 'Recipes' and the sub-menu appears. I move the dragged object to drop this on the recipe list in the sub-menu and the sub-menu simply disappears. Equally, I CAN drop this on the top level BM menu but it does not drop in the place needed (I want this (e.g.) NOT at the bottom but two up from there. What happens is that the dropped URL appears to locate it self in a random position. Easy to replicate by dragging the same URL to the BM menu and it drops wherever it feels like. FF team have clearly failed to do some basic testing on this and there are many (correction MANY) other annoying things like this that show there has been poor or insufficient testing. I have been a fan of FF for a long time and recommended it to others. Now I cannot do this with confidence and am seriously thinking of switching back to an old version. However, I might simply go to Chrome. Are you listening FF team? A simple look at the forums will show the groundswell of annoyed people. You have altered the way many things work, seemingly focusing on prettifying things rather than ensuring stability and ensuring basic features continue to work...

  • Cannot drag and drop CERTAIN photos from iPhoto 9.5.1

    I cannot drag and drop certain photos to the desktop (Mac OS X 10.9.3) from iPhoto 9.5.1
    When I encounter this problem the pointer has a circle with a slash as I drag the photo to the desktop and the file will not copy over.  I'd say 25% of my photos suffer from this problem.
    Some things of note:
    - photos that are affected have been taken by variety of devices: iPhone, DSLR camera, or scanned in from film (no device is specific to this problem)
    - a photo that cannot be copied is located in the same subfolder as one that can be copied so it's not folder specific
    - I have trashed the iPhoto prefs files as well as the cache file in Mac OS X 10.9.3
    - I have repaired permissions and the database as well as rebuilt the database in iPhoto all to no avail

  • Cannot Drag and Drop a Field from Connection manager to a worksheet.

    Hi
    I've recently installed the latest version of SQLDEVELOPER (1.5.3) onto winxp.
    I used to be able (previous version) to drag fields from the connection manager and drop onto a worksheet to save typing the field name when writing sql.
    This new version currently does not allow me to do this (it lets me drag, but not drop).
    I am able to drag a table object - and when I drop onto worksheet it creates a select statement with all fields.
    Is this by design, or is there a setting in preferences that I'm missing, or could there be something wrong with my installation ?
    Another not so good feature on this new version:
    When you Right-Click a package object on the connection manager and select "Run" : a window appears with automatically generated plsql block to run the package - great. However I used to be able to copy this plsql and paste it into anything I wanted (e.g. note-pad, or another application etc), but now I am unable to use the generated code unless I use the "Save File.." button. (Copy/paste etc is not available from either "right click", Edit menu or CTRL C).
    Again is this by design (I certainly used to be able to do it) or is it a problem specific to my installation.
    Any pointers much appreciated.
    jacr

    Jacr,
    We introduced the choice of drag and drop options in 1.5.0. Under preferences Database -> Worksheet Parameters, you can switch between the dragging on join clauses or individual statements including insert, update or delete. With this change and with the increase in code insight, we removed the ability to drag individual columns onto the worksheet. Have you tried the code insight feature in 1.5.3?
    I am able to use the copy and paste from the anonymous block to the worksheet works in 1.5.3. Are your copy and paste keys working else where? Perhaps resetting these keys to default in the preferences might help.

  • Drag-and-drop tree list from files/folder

    Hello all. I'm new to Flex and I'm looking for some help or
    for someone to point me in the right direction. I want to write a
    simple AIR application to accept a multiple text files (or a folder
    full of text files) when the files/folder is dragged into a tree
    list. The file/folder name will be the node name. When selected,
    the contents of the file will be displayed in a text area. The text
    file will contain a 4 x 4 number matrix with each column separated
    by a tab and each row separated by a return. (I plan on plotting
    the numbers in the matrix in the future).
    What I'm most confused about is how to go about
    dragging-and-dropping files into a tree list and creating item
    names based on the file/folder name? And does the file content need
    to go into an array collection?
    Maybe I'm going about this in a difficult way. If there is an
    easier way, I'd appreciate it if someone could share. Thank you
    all.

    I have the same problema and I´m not able to find the reason.
    The solution to get the event raised has been to copy configurations from wd standard appl FPM_TEST_DND_FORM and use my own Z feeder class : all  seems to work perfectly , but , if I try to do it from scratch the event  FPM_DROP_COMPLETED it´s not raised .
    I´ve compared both configurations/class ( the one that I´ve done from scratch  that it doesn´t raise the event and the one that I´ve adapted copying from standard that it raises perfectly  the event) and I haven´t  seen any difference (maybe I haven´t found) .

Maybe you are looking for
