  • Can't Drag and Drop, or cut and paste

    Weirdest thing - all of a sudden I can't drag and drop, or cut and paste. I fixed permissions, deleted varied preference files and rebooted, reset the permissions on /tmp, etc. and still no go.
    Any suggested avenues to find what the possible problem is, and how to solve (short of reinstalling)?

    On the left side of the browser at the top of the iPhoto window you will see two symbols. The top one looks like a sheet of paper with the corner folded down, the bottom looks like multiple sheets/cards. If you click on the top symbol, you will view thumbnails of the pages in the book; the bottom gives you photos. At the bottom left of the window, there are two buttons above the word "view". Clicking on one button versus the other changes the window to view either one or two pages. This also affects whether or not the pages are locked together in the browser. When you are in page view, you can drag and drop pages in the browser to create the order you wish.
    I hope this helps.

  • Can't drag and drop nor copy  and past with iMac with OS 10.8.1.

    Can't drag and drop nor copy and past with iMac with OS 10.8.1.  Not with iTunes, MS Word, nor Pages.  No where.  Reboot or relogging in helps for about an hour.  Hard reset worked for a short time. Per Apple support, most likely will reinstall the operation system.  Just wondered if anybody else has run into this.  Did a disk scan, and that was fine.  And did rebooting, holding down CMD+OPT+R, and P..  Deleted all the start up programs.  Checked the internet, no solutions there.  So it all appears to be OS redo time. 

    Do you subscribe to MLB.tv, and if so, did you install the NextDef plug in? If so, read this…
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19185556#19185556
    I removed the NextDef plug in over 24 hours ago, restarted and haven't had a single issue with drag and drop or cut and paste since.

  • Can't drag and drop on desktop and I've tried all suggestions from previous threads

    Yesterday I found that I can't drag and drop any files on my desktop. I get the white circle with a line through it when I try to drag anything. I can drag off of my desktop to my HD and to the trash but I can't drag anything back.
    I've read all of the previous threads about it and have tried all of the poetntail fixes including:
    Creating a new user account and switching back and forth
    Sleep / Wake
    Relaunching Finder
    Checking the Dragging option in Universal Access
    Checking all of my settings in prefrences
    (I don't have Air Display, Airparrot or any of the other listed problematic 3rd party programs)
    I even reinstalled Lion and the problem still exists
    Anybody have any other pointers, or should I head into the Genius Bar?

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the Recovery screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • InDesign CS5 stopped working and Can't drag or drop

    A colleague of mine has a Mac G5 with OS 10.5.8 and Adobe InDesign CS5 installed which has suddenly stopped working. On top of that she can't drag or drop items either.  She didn't have this issue yesterday. She didn't install anything new or added any new hardware.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    NTFS is your problem.
    iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.
    See this article

    “Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”

  • Can't drag or drop in Itunes?

    Itunes (11.2.2 for Macbook Pro 2012)
    I can drag and drop in finder and other applications. However, I can't select and then drag and drop individual (or groups) of songs, or playlists in Itunes.  For example, when I want to drag a song from one playlist or to another it doesn't "get picked up" when I click and hold down on the song nor does it follow when I try to drag it over to other playlist.
    I did check that these were not smart playlists, the order of the playlists are manual, and I've tried just about everything from closing/reopening program to restarting computer and problem keeps coming back. I also know I can right click song and click add to but this is much more of hassle and actually doesn't work some of the time now too.
    Any feedback is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I don't use the new iTunes but yours is the only post I have seen stating this issue.  The only time I have seen similar behavior is if you try to do this with a
    bad link ( ! ).  Additionally make sure the item you wish to drag is checked.
    Dragging does not move an item, it adds it and leaves the original in place.

  • Drag and drop the text and image

    Hi,
    I need help in drag and drop text and image.
    I am able to drag and drop the text and image in doc but  i want to drag the text in text frame and image in image frame only.
    For this how to get textframe id or is there any other way to do this. Pls help me if anyone know how to do this one.
    Thanks
    Arun

    This thread is pretty old, but this can help anyone in the future:
    To handle a drop in InDesign, you have to implement your own custom CDragDropTargetFlavorHelper. You can find a working example in SDK Sample. Take a look at BasicDragDrop.sdk project in the SDK.

  • Drag and Drop between JTree and Labels in 2 different panes

    Hi,
    I am using JDK 1.4.1 and am trying to implement Drag n Drop between a JTree and JLabels with ImageIcons, both on different panes.
    I got the DnD working fine on the tree. but i cant get to drag and drop the label from the other pane, on the Jtree as a node. I am getting confused with the DataFlavors, and also wonder if there is something else that i have to do for DnD between 2 panes. Can someone give me any leads on this, please? The Panes I am talking about are splitpanes.
    thanks,
    Sri.

    hey thanks Dennis!! I was hoping you would respond to my question, as I have seen a lot of your replies. yes, the example you gave would be helpful. but i am trying to implement this in 1.4.1, with the new drag and drop in swing. and i am getting confused wiht theh data flavors etc.
    my problem at hand is :
    I have a tree on the left pane. i can drag and drop the nodes on the tree itself. (i already did that...no problem). I have Jlabels with imageicons (actually wrapper classes with labels and imageicons) on the right pane. i have to be able to drag these labels to the tree such that they form a node.
    I have one class the NodeSelection class which extends TransferHandler and implements Transferable. i was able to do DnD for the tree using this. I customized the importData method in this.I thought that i can just use the same class to create the transferhandler and transferable, and just use a different implementation for the importData method if the data being dragged is from the label.
    well, my thoughts and ideas were ok...but i can implement it...so they must be wrong ;-)
    Can u please suggest another way to do this. I have a deadline to meet and am stuck here :-( any suggestions or tips or hints would be very helpful and appreciated!!
    Thanks,
    Sri.

  • Drag and Drop Apps to and from Dock, doesn't work for one account?

    Hi there,
    I have 2 accounts on my Macbook, one of them is my main account which is admin and nothing is wrong with it. The second account though is also admin but I cannot drag and drop applications to and from the dock. I can open the program, hold left click down till it pops up with options and in which you can untick Keep in Dock. Which would be fine but as soon as the computer restarts or I log out then in again, the application reappears. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
    Note that I have deleted both plist files from library/preferences and I have also enabled parental controls and ticked the allow users to modify the dock option. I also tried downloading Onyx and setting it up through there but it was a no go. Anyway, if anyone has any idea then that would be awesome.
    Cheers

    Ok, you can drag applications from your Applications and Utilities Folders to make a "alias" (aka shortcut) in the Dock, but if you drag the icon off and drop it, it "poof's" away as your deleting the alias. The program itself isn't in the Dock at all at any time.

    Right, when you run a program from where ever, it places a alias icon in the Dock, which you then right click and choose to keep the alias in the Dock which survives reboots and logouts/in as normal.
    If you right click and choose "open at log-in" the program will automatically run when you restart or log back into the account.

    I don't see any problem, other than your not knowing the icons in the Dock are aliases.
    You should set the same user controls and preferences on the second admin as the first and your problems should disappear.
    OnyX is a great program, I recommend it highly, but I don't see it fixing your problem in this case. Unless there is something your not being clear on.

  • Can't drag or drop in Firefox but i can in IE

    I have the latest Firefox. I can't drag or drop anything and this applies both to my laptop [windows 7 ] and my PC [windows 8.1]. Have tried all the ideas already listed on the Forum but to no avail. I can use Copy and Paste. I used to be able to drag and drop in firefox. I can still drag and drop if I use Internet Explorer. Any ideas please

    What is it you are dropping? Are they shortcuts?
    If the shortcut was created with another browser, then in some
    cases, only that browser can work with them.

    I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
    Disk Utility can verify  my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
    I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
    I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
    I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
    Good luck!

  • I need to make a copy of an entire email, including the header w/the sender's info and time, etc. to insert into a letter, etc. How can I do this w/out cutting and paste and doing the header separately from the text.

    I need to make a copy of an entire email, including the header w/the sender's info and time, etc. to insert into a letter, etc. How can I do this w/out cutting and pasting   the header separately from the text. I know there is a way besides a screen shot but I've spend hours trying to find it.

    For the particularly persnickety types you might want to expose the full headers in the email message as well.  It's easy enough to do, from mail's 'menu' select "view"; then "message"; then all headers.
    Another option you could use is a screen capture using Grab.
    Activate Grab, then shift + command + w (for a window screen shot).  Then confirm the window selection and click the mail message.
