How do I click and drag photos to folder with mouse to folder of my choice?. Simple but I can't do it. Goes to folder of ITS choice.

I click on a photo in events and keeping the mouse button depressed I drag the photo to the folder of the left, but a new folder opens with the photo. It doesn't place the photo into the folder that I have already created. What am I doing wrong? I see the green plus sign and place it in the folder of my choice, but the new folder opens with the photo in it. Please help me here.

Folders don't hold photos in iPhoto. Photos go in Events or Album.
Folders can contain other folders or Albums.

Unable to click and drag photos to trash, folders

Working on downloading 2000 photos from cruise. 6.06 quit unexpectedly and lost whole library. Have recovered those but has happened twice since. Also CAN NOT CLICK AND DRAG PHOTOS ANYMORE!

Sounds like a corrupted library - how did you recover from the problem? Have you rebuilt the library? using iPhoto? using iPhoto Library Manager?

Why can't I click and drag photos anymore?

Why can't I click and drag photos to the desktop to email?

OK--Think I finally discovered the issue. I'm using a trackball and keyboard setup from Euphonix that communicates with the Mac via Ethernet and TCP/IP. Aperture cannot deal with mouse strokes transmitted this way. If I switch to a USB mouse connected directly to the Mac, the brushes work normally. Still a disappointment since the Euphonix is my default keyboard/mouse and I don't really want to keep a separate USB mouse hooked up.....

Control + Click and Drag

Hi there,
Scenario
I need to use Google Chrome on my early 2011, 13' Macbook Pro (running Mavericks 10.9.2) for an online job. They have their own interface which is only supported by Chrome and not Safari or any other browsers.
Problem
On some specific tasks that I do, I need to draw a box on the interface while Pressing the Control key, but when I press Control and Press mouse button to draw the box, it brings up the MENU. This doesn't seem to be working with Command key either, since unlike windows, CTRL is COMMAND in mac.
I need to figure out how do Control + Click and Drag in the interface.

I don't see anything via that link that I can relate to this posting.
If you want to make the change in frames happen solely based on the direction (x) that the mouse is being moved, then you need to test the current position of the mouse against the last known position...
var startPosition:Number = mouseX;
wwr_mc.gotoAndStop(10);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);
function onMouse(e:MouseEvent): void {
    if (mouseX-startPosition >= 0) {
        wwr_mc.nextFrame();
    } else {
        wwr_mc.prevFrame();
   startPosition = mouseX;
I am not sure what you find as being too fast. When you are doing things relative to an extended event, such as a mouse being moved for some time, then it is highly likely that the event will execute the event handler function repeatedly... as fast as the frame rate of the file allows. So if you want more control of the rate at which mouse moves effect nextFrame/prevFrame function calls, then you need to build in some form of delay. In the example below, it takes the form of removing the mouse move event listener for a short period using a timing function (setTimeout in this example, though you could use the Timer class as well)
var startPosition:Number = mouseX;
var delayTime = 250; // 0.25 sec
wwr_mc.gotoAndStop(10);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);
function onMouse(e:MouseEvent): void {
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);
    var currentPosition:Number = mouseX;
    if (currentPosition-startPosition >= 0) {
        wwr_mc.nextFrame();
    } else {
        wwr_mc.prevFrame();
   setTimeout(setListener, delayTime);
function setListener(){
   startPosition = mouseX;
   stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);

I cant click and drag my photostream photos to pin them to my desk top with out them being very small and not being able to make notes in paint brush on them. I used to before the update.

I used to be able to open, click and drag photos from a photo stream folder, and pin them to my desk top. After the update my PC made me download icloud to my computer to access my photo stream pictures. Now if I go into my icloud photostream tab click and drag. It asks me if I trust the computer I am saving it to. If I click yes, it save this tiny picture to my desk top.
In order to accomplish what I need to do with the photos I have a few extra steps added to my perfect process. Has any body ran into this and do you know how to simplify this.
Thanks

1. If you break your post into paragraphs it is much easier to read.
2. I have no idea what your post is referring to, and how - if at all - it relates to iPhoto.
3. It's a good idea to re-read what you've posted, and ask yourself how it might look to someone who doesn't know you and doesn't know what's going on with your machine.

IPhoto and Frontrow: can not click and drag after using frontrow slide show

Recently I received my new MacBook Pro, I started using iPhoto and noticed the following problem:
1. Open iPhoto and perform normal tasks, click and drag photos, etc.
2. Close i-Photo
3. Open Frontrow Slide Show(Pictures)- play for a few seconds
4. Close Frontrow
5. Reopen i-Photo and photos will not move(click/drag)
6. Close i-Photo/reopen and all is fine
Anyone else???
Thanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I discover that there is no parameter to set slide duration
Using the Finder, drag all the images from the folder containing the images on to the Navigator pane ion Keynote, this will place the images centred on an individual slide
with at least one image selected in the Navigator, select all, (command A)
Inspector > Animate > Start transition: in the drop down menu, select: Automatically
seethe delay to the time you want the image to appear on screen, you can select individual times by selecting one slide at a time
and no choice of slide transition and timing
Inspector > Animate, click Add an Effect
The Inspector is the side panel on the right hand side of the canvas
All Apple applications have a very useful Help system located on the Menu bar > Help

Track pad wont click and drag help?

this may not be the right place but for some reason my track pad just randomly quit working when it comes to click and drag. i updated the software because i read one correct this issue but its still happening. can anyone help? do i need to take it to a mac store?

That is unfortunate! However, here is some international contact information:
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html
I see that your location is on the list. It's possible that you could contact Apple directly and be referred to an Apple Authorized Service Provider who could diagnose what is wrong.
In the meantime, you could always make a good backup and then reinstall the OS from disc and see if this cures the problem.
If you really feel this is software rather than hardware, it might be worth posting your question in the Snow Leopard forum where all the software experts are. It may be a simple matter of trashing a .plist or something like that.
Good luck!

Why can't l click and drag a photo from my pictures library to my iphone?

I am trying to move photos from my laptop to my iphone. I have tried clicking and dragging individual photos from my picture library to the iphone but l receive a message saying my iphone is not responding.
I have tried syncing via itunes but when l want to sync a further folder it replaces the one which as already been synced?
Any ideas?

There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
All of your media should be in iTunes already.
If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

Vera,
Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list.

How do I change the song order of a playlist. I used to be able to click and drag to a new order.

How do I change the order of songs in a playlist. I used to be able to click and drag to the new location, but can't now.

Ricardo, It changed in iTunes 11.
With the playlist open, click on the View menu, View Options, and then set the "Sort By" field to "Manual Order." Then you can drag songs up or down.
If you don't see the View menu, you may have your Menu bar hidden. In that case, unhide it first, by using CTRL-B.

If third-party software called "Air Display" is installed, remove it according to the developer's instructions, then reboot. Back up all data before making any changes.

Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos on iweb?

Re: protecting photos when using iweb as your web designer...
Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos using iweb? I have seen tutorials about creating a text box around each image - but is there a better way?

However, there is no way you can prevent someone from making a screenshot of the image as it is displayed on the screen no matter what application you use to create the web page.
You can add a watermark to dissuade the casual "thief" but those who are serious about stealing the photo for their own use can remove the watermark with some effort.

How do I copy music from itunes to a USB stick? I can't click and drag - it bounces back

How do I copy music from my computer to a USB stick? It won't let me click and drag - it bounces back.

If you drill down within the iTunes folder to the "iTunes Music" or "iTunes Media" folder you'll see that iTunes has the songs organised by artists. If you want a particular album, you'll have to know who the artist is. There's also a folder named "Various Artists" for complication albums. And as for me, I don't use a USB drive to back things up, I use an external hard drive, which can hold more data. If you don't have one, I recommend getting one.
