Trackpad - select and drag of email address in Mail

Looks like the normal select and drag behaves differently in mac mail when you are using the email addresses on the CC and To lines ...
In Mac Mail, When I did a reply-all to an email, it placed the person the email was sent to originally in the CC area - I wanted to drag their email address up to the To: line but couldn't figure out how to do this with the trackpad. When hovering over the email address (which was recognized and shown with their name in an oval shape) I then did a single-touch on the trackpad and held it would bring up a secondary menu rather than letting me then drag it. A single click of the trackpad didn't seem to help either
Any ideas on how to drag a "recognized" email address from the CC to the To line in mac mail using the trackpad ?
thanks

Well, here's a work around ... just as a reminder, when using the mouse, you click and hold and drag to the other line you want the address
With the trackpad, if I double tap, it converts the oval with their name to their full address. Then if you again double click and hold to (had to do this a couple times to get the whole thing selected) then you can drag with another finger the address between To: and CC: or vice versa
Several extra clicks needed to do what the mouse did - this should be fun explaining this to the wife
Perhaps there's an easier way someone can point out ...
thanks

Why can't I select and drag addresses from contacts to mail

Why can't I select and drag addresses from contacts to mail

Re: can't drag email addresses from contact list

How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, how do I select the first and last message and delete everything in between?

How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, what do I select if I mark the first and last email to delete everything in between? Thanks.

I have this same issue. I have over 100 email addresses that I need to add to a group. The issue is not making the group, it's getting the email addresses from Mail to Contacts.
Dragging the email addresses does nothing. You can copy the addresses, but there's nowhere to put them. You can make a VCF for an email address, but then you have to find all of them to add them to the group. How do you automate this?!
I'm astounded that there's so little support for such a common issue for which people have been asking for years.

How do I select more than one email address on a Contacts card. I did it before but trouble with Yosemite

Cannot select more than one email address at a time from Contacts. Before I upgraded to Yosemite, I could view all mail addresses in "All Contacts" and select multiple or single email addresses by "command and tap" for mail. Now I have to open each card and select one address at a time. I don't want to create groups just want to select the addresses I need at the time.

i dont pay for hosting at all.. i just pay every two years to keep my domain name and with that i get free email forwarding and web forwarding... so i can create email addresses but need to forward them to somewhere else...
i forward them to one of the POP3 email addresses i was given by my ISP...
in entourage i set up two email accounts on the one identity so i can send email from the ISPs email or from my domain name email... now if someone sends me an email to my domain name email i get it twice... it only does this on my new mac though, it didnt do it on my old one...
if i stop forwarding my emails then where will they go? i dont think ill get them, will i?
very confused!

If you're finding that iMessage & Facetime is showing your email as default & your number is greyed out so can't select it then try signing out of iMessage & Facetime & signing in again.

When I send a text using siri the recipient shows that the text came from my email. How do I fix that so it show that the text came from my phone number and not my email address?

Selecting and Dragging multiple clips - CS6 Sniper mode

With the introduction of ability to select Edit Points, now it's inconvenient to drag multiple selected clips or add clips to selection because in some cases - depending on timeline zoom state and/or clip duration. The edit points are altered instead of the clips, that behaviour drives me nuts. It leads to a necessity to do one of the following actions before selecting and/or dragging multiple clips with comfort:
sniper mode - put the cursor over a place in the selection where the cursor will not indicate Edit Point trimming mode.
to avoid loosing selection when using sniper mode - Group the clips after adding every clip to selection and/or after a dragging operation
dynamically change zoom state so that you will not have to use sniper mode
use copy/cut/paste - may involve a necessity to do additional pre-pasting steps
IMHO, this behaviour should be rethinked.
How fast it was in CS5.5 and older versions:
Please, Premiere Pro Programming Team, especially Tim Gogolin, Steve Hoeg, Peter Lee, Gerry Miller, James Mork, Vivek Neelamegam, Axel Schildan, Jerry Scoggins, Sven Skwirblies, Tod Snook, Jesse Zibble, rethink the behaviour of selecting and dragging clips. Start giving links to beta-versions to other editors too, not only to editors like Philip Bloom.
Selecting edit points is sometimes helpful and sometimes distracting.
To get the best of two worlds (CS6 edit points vs. CS5.5 and older) - a switch could be added to Keyboard Shortcuts list, like the "hidden" Add Clip Marker shortcut.
Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points".
When Shift- or Shift+Alt- key is pressed and some Clip is selected, clicking on an edit point of another clip should add a clip to selection in the same way as previous versions of Premiere Pro did:
To drag clips in legacy sniper-free mode only a switch can help. Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points when Multiple Clips are Selected".
To add comfort to the editing process - selecting/dragging multiple clips - additional switches cannot be avoided. Additionally you may add an option to the Preferences > Trim:
Allow Selection tool to choose Roll and Ripple trims without modifier key
Allow Selection tool to select Edit Points while multiple Clips are selected
Feature Request/Bug Report Form
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:Inconveniences when selecting and dragging multiple clips
Steps to reproduce bug:
1.Create a Selection of multiple clips with Shift+Click
2.Try to drag the clips
Results:With the introduction of ability to select Edit Points, in some cases (depends on timeline zoom state and/or clip duration) now it's inconvenient to select and drag multiple selected clips because the edit points are selected instead of the clips
Expected results:Clips should be selected/dragged like in CS5.5 and older

With all due respect Kevin, nobody at Adobe has the right to change a program SO drastically. I am also a mouse person, and am MUCH faster using the mouse, vs the keyboard.
When people have invested YEARS into a program like Adobe, they get used to things, how things work, the feel of a program. I really don't see how you all can just change it on a whim. IF you are going to do this, BOTH methods should still work. You cannot just stop the way people are used to editing. You can't just decide to change a program so drastically, that it doesn't feel like a program we have grown to love over many long years. If Adobe on a whole is changing things, just because a few people in your company voice opinions like I've quoted below, it's not the way to go. Adobe should be really putting feelers out there, and seeing how people are really using the program. Things should be getting easier, more powerful, sure that's natural, but you can't just decide to remove things that mouse users do every day. :-(
Upgrading a program, and changing it to this degree, are two different things in my book. I have not yet upgraded, but it is very scary - the things I'm seeing. For one, way way too many bugs. The amount of bugs on so many boards being reported are just beyond comprehension.
And a final note, I for one, am very glad Steven is posting these videos ( I'd like to hear him go through steps though - just watching the video with no audio of what he is doing is not so great, however after watching some of his posts, he's knows what he's doing, and has a good head to think with )
I mostly read posts, but I thought I would voice my opinion, if none of us speak up, nothing will get changed. I'm really hoping that Adobe implements some change in the next revision .5 or whatever it will be called. Reading posts like this one are really depressing. Did you watch Steven's video on a simple task as moving multiple clips around on a timeline ? Doing this with a mouse just isn't going to work for many, removing simple tasks by way of using a mouse would stop me from upgrading.
Please address this in upcoming updates.
Dave.

I forgot my security question answers and my rescue email address has been deactivated.

As I said in the title, I forgot my security question answers and my rescue email address has been deactivated. Conveniently, you must enter your security questions to change your rescue email. The answers to the security questions are sent to the rescue email, so I am stuck. My only option seems to be to call Apple Support, which is my entire Friday off spent on an aggravating phone call. If anyone can give my an alternative route for fixing my problem, I am all ears.
Please Help.

Why doesn't my iMessage send to certain iPhone users ? And others as email address but Im on my phone?

I need help ! Why is it not letting me use iMessage with one person specifically big it sends to others with my email address not my phone number? Anyone ?

Hi,
This has to do with what addresses you have linked with you Apple account and which you have set as a default to send/receive from. If you go to Settings--> Messages --> and note that your iMessages tab at the top is switched to "on" then scroll down to where is says "Send & Receive" and it will list something like your iphone number and any email addresses you have registered with Apple (I happen to have four addresses, 2 gmail, 1 icloud, and 1 me.com). Click on Send & Receive and whichever ones are selected are those that you will receive messages at or send from. If you scroll further down the page it says "Start new conversations from:" and you can select the one you would like to be the default whenever you're sneding from apps and the like on your iPhone.
Depending on which address a person has as your contact (and assuming that address is also listed under your addresses in the iMessage section), is why you might receive texts as just an iMessage and others an email address.
Also, if you go to Settings-->Mail, Contacts, Calendar: it'll show all of the email accounts you have associated with your iPhone and scroll down further you can see and change which is your default email account.
I absolutely loved my iPhone 4, it has been a solid workhorse and a true pleasure! I hope you enjoy yours as much.
Cheers~

I send them to 50-200 people. Can I copy and paste their email addresses from a previously sent message?

l

Hi Sara,
Thanks but that is not what i need. In my scenario i literally just need to copy all 200 email addresses from a previously sent file and paste them into the box saying "enter recipient email addresses" so that i can send the exact same people a new file. Without this feature this program is virtually useless to me now. Typing them in one at a time or choosing them one at a time from a list is not an option - i will only do this when i send out the first round of files and then i should be able to copy and past the email addresses to send out any added files that every person on the list will need. I just need to select, copy, paste, done. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks,
Matt

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.

You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

When I click on an email link on a website it doesn't open my entourage mail, I have to cut and paste the email address in

When I am looking at a website and it says contact us with an email address, in the past when I click on this my entourage 'new mail' page would open so I could contact them, but know that doesn't happen and I have to cut and paste the email address into entourage manually, sometime this is not possible becuase the website doesn't actually give the email address just a 'click here' option

How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

Try this general troubleshooting procedure:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.

Select and Drag More Than One Photo

I can no longer select and drag more than one photo at a time. With one photo it works fine. If I select more than one, I can't move them, so I have to add pictures to albums one at a time, which is rather tedious.
This has only started happening recently. Possibly after updating to 10.6.8????
Anu ideas please?
iPhoto09, v8.1.2

Then I would try a reinstall:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
