Unable to send or recieve images via drag and drop?

I am unable to send or recieve jpg and gif images by dragging and dropping from finder. How do I fix this?

Hi,
Where are you dragging them to ?
You Can do it two ways using Drag.
One is to the Buddy's Name in the Buddy list and letting go  (it gets sent as a loose file)
The Second is to drag it to the Text field during a Text chat (Excluding Group Chats)
The First causes an Invite to accept to pop up on the Buddies Screen.
You can also see see when it is Accepted (you may even have to confirm sending depending on your Settings)
The Second gets sent as a File Link in the Chat which the Buddy has to Also Accept...
You can also send files by highlighting a Buddy and going the the Buddies Menu > Send File.
This method tends to point to error with the File Transfer port not being open.
So...
Check you can send Files first by all three methods.  (these tends to ignore  Firewall and Router settings as it is Outgoing)
Get your Buddy to Send by all three methods.
IF this is AIM and you are having issues log out of the Account  (IChat > Preferences > Accounts > Account Info Tab (Deselect "Use this Account")
Now go to the Sever Settings
Change the Default port from 5190 to 443.
iChat Logs in on port 5190 using the TCP Protocol.
File Transfers or Direct IMs when done in a Chat are sent on Port 5190 but on the UDP Protocol (It is Peer-to-Peer).
Some Router don't like this dual Use.
If you still have issues then you will need to either Enable the Firewall and check iChat in in the List of allowed Apps and/or open  port 5190 in you router. (on the UDP Protocol if stated)

  • Can I move my very large iPhoto app and photos from main HD to a larger secondary HD via drag and drop?

    Can I move my very large iPhoto app and photos from main HD to a larger secondary HD via drag and drop?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

    I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives.  I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC.  Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files.  An help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.  If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC.  I do not share the drive with a PC.  The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use.  I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC.  I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them.  The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC.  I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.

  • Unable to move ringtone or music by drag and drop and other ways.

    Hello,
    I recently got a new computer and its Windows 7. I downloaded iTunes, the newest version (11.1.4.62), on 1/31/2014. On my previous computer I had older version of iTunes and was able to simply drag and drop everything.
    In this new version I found trouble with adding music but I figured that out. Next I wanted to add a ringtone but I was having trouble. I was able to add the ringtone to itunes-Library-Tones (format m4r)  but after this I am unable to add it to devices-tones. I tried drag and drop, I tried sync and it simply wont work. If i try to drag and drop a song straight to my devices it wont allow that either. I am even unable to delete any songs that I have on my iphone through iTunes. I also had voice memos on m phone and I cant even edit that section or voice memos.
    Someone please help! this is very frustrating that I can't remove, add, edit my iphone through iTunes.

  • Can't import photos via drag-and-drop (only small thumbnail will appear)

    After I drag and drop photos into iPhoto 7.1.3 (even a photo just exported from iPhoto), it shows the import process and creates an untitled event. Once complete, I see a dashed-line box instead of the images.
    http://idisk.mac.com/phildame/Public/Pictures/Skitch/iPhoto-20080308-111415.jpg
    Every time I re-open, it will try and re-import the failed photos, creating a new event each time. I have to tell it not to try recoving.
    Note that in the event view, it's a blank square. If a reduce the thumbnail slider enough the images appear in "Photos" view (as if only the small thumbnails were generated before it crapped out).
    Is anyone else seeing this? I'm not sure what to do.
    Phil

    Two issues there:
    Every time I re-open, it will try and re-import the failed photos,...
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    2. As to the blank thumbnails:
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Safari Bookmarks Lost via Drag and Drop to Finder

    All of my most important bookmarks vanished without a trace after I dragged and dropped their folder from the "Show All Bookmarks" screen in Safari 4.0.3 to a Shared Network Drive in the Finder sidebar. The Shared Network Drive was not connected at the time (I hadn't realized), but I received no error message that the bookmarks could not be copied to the destination--the folder and its contents were simply gone. I've scoured all drives for the bookmark files with no luck, and I confirmed that dragging other files (not bookmarks) to the disconnected Shared Network Drive gives an error message and no change to file locations.
    Admittedly, this particular situation is somewhat rare, but it seems like a kind of shoddy black hole in the software: no alerts, no trash bin, no bookmark files to be found.
    Obviously this is a perfect example of why one should backup bookmarks via Time Machine, MobileMe, etc.--but I really just want to understand the problem, and to see it resolved if necessary. Any ideas? Similar experiences?
    Thanks for reading!

    Thanks very much for your reply, Carolyn.
    I tried a Spotlight search as you suggested, but found no file called "Safari Bookmarks.html," and nothing with a similar name. Would that be some kind of master log of my Safari bookmarks?
    I'm looking everywhere for an alternate record of those web addresses (router, cache, cookies, Google), but unfortunately I empty my Safari history regularly and nothing else has panned out so far.

  • IPhoto '09 8.1.2 Doesn't import via drag and drop!

    My Macbook Pro version of iPhoto won't allow me to drag & drop photos into the albums. It will allow import via menu but only as new events and then still won't allow me to add to existing albums. I have tried reinstalling OS as I had another problem with moving files across the network, it allowed copy but not move. When the photo is chosen I then drag into the correct album. It shows the green cross but doesn't allow the drop. It also doesn't let go of the file so the the photo is attached to the cursor until I force quit on iphoto.
    Anyone got any ideas please as I really use iphoto to push my files around my network & devices.
    Thanks
    Pete

  • Cannot move photos via drag and drop (library grid view)

    I've seen several adobe tutorials and youtube videos that show moving photos or folders by drag and drop in the library grid view.  I cannot get it to work.
    Steps:
    1. Mousedown on a photo (not the frame) in the grid
    2. Drag the mouse to a folder in the "Folder" pane (left of the grid)
    3. Mouseup on the destination folder
    Results:
    Nothing happens.  The mouse cursor doesn't change from the arrow.  There is no indication I can drag and drop.  The photos are not moved.
    The photos are stored on a NAS.  Of course I can move them around via Windows Explorer, but I want to do this from inside LR4 for obvious reasons.  From LR4, I can create new folders, but I still cannot move photos into those folders.  I also tried creating a new folder on a local drive.  Again, I was able to create the folders, but was not able to move any photos into the folder.
    What else can I do to toubleshoot this issue?

    I created a new catalog.  Imported a folder on my C drive, created a subfolder, and successfully moved photos into the subfolder.
    I tried the same steps in my original catalog and now I can move all photos (including those on my NAS).  I've been at this for 3 hours.  I have no clue why it is working now, but I guess I'm happy.  Now, it shows the stack of photos when I try to drag and drop.
    I even reverted to my original preferences file (that I backed up before deleting) and I'm still able to move the files.  Really strange.

  • Problem using text boxes as the "image" to drag and drop over audio file

    I have been adding audio files to my page in iWeb (previous version, not '08), but I am having a problem giving them titles.
    When you first drag a file from iTunes into iWeb, it provides a space for you to drag and drop a picture. The online iWeb guide also says that you can drag a text box there instead of a picture.
    I created a text box with the text I would like to drop over the controller. However, it is no longer allowing me to drop the text box there. I used to be able to do this, and I don't know what I'm doing differently now. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    foobar2000 with the ipod plugin will allow you to drag/drop FLAC files and when it syncs the ipod, it converts the FLAC files on the fly. MUCH better than dealing with the crappy iTunes interface and having to pre-convert the files. I absolutely loathe iTunes and it just gets worse and worse!

  • Open a File in a JTextPane via Drag and Drop

    Hi,
         I have a simple JTextPane in a Swing App on Windows XP. I would like to know if it is possible for me to be able to add the functionality such that I can drag a text file to the JTextPane and it would open the file inside the Pane. Is this possible? If yes then how do I implement it? (I am not insisting on the app working on non-Win XP systems � so portability is not a concern.)
         I have tried to search for the drag and drop stuff but I am confused. First, which interfaces should I implement i.e. DragGestureListener, DragSourceListener, DropTargetListener or what?
         I would be grateful for any pointers.
    Thanks a lot,
    O.O.

    1. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/intro.html - This link did have the information but has since been updated and no longer points to the relevant information that I have since used.
    So you where given a link with the appropriate informaton, but Sun has changed the information and you are blaming us for not helping? Unbelievable!
    Here is a link to the old tutorial:
    https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/references/java/java1.5/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/intro.html#importFiles
    Now tell us how that does not do exactly what you wanted?
    I really don�t know why some people waste their time here just providing you with linksBecause most people like yourself don't know how to ask a question. DnD is a complex topic. The only way to learn it is to read a tutorial and experiment. What a better way to learn than to play with a working example. You are given many working examples in the tutorial.
    You did not state wihich example you had changed. You did not state what problems you where having.
    The best you could state was "I'm confused". You where asked to clarify your problem/confusion but didn't. We are not mind readers so we couldn't provide further help.
    I agree I am wasting my time helping someone who doesn't even appreciate the effort made by the many individuals of the forum and I won't make that mistake again.

  • Is there a way to move images without dragging and dropping?

    I am trying to drag and drop files out of one folder and put into a subfolder in the library module but it wont let me and I am wondering if there is a navigation menu that will allow me to do the same?

    Drag and drop should work.
    Make sure when you begin the drag, you are pointing at the photo itself and not the grey rectangle around the photo.
    There is no menu command.

  • Can't Replace Pages (via drag and drop in Pages panel) in Acrobat 9 Pro

    I'm running OS X 10.5.8, Acrobat Pro 9.1.3, PPC G5 PowerMac.
    I'll have two PDFs open and I'll want to replace certain pages from document A with certain pages from document B.  Rather than using the Replace Pages command from the Document menu, I prefer to visually see what I'm changing.  For this reason I've always preferred the drag and drop method, where one selects a page thumbnail from one document and drops it onto a page thumbnail in another document. This only seems to be a problem in Acrobat 9.  This works fine in Acrobat 7.1.1 and 8.1.6.  Drag and drop will allow one to insert pages but the replacement of pages is not working.  As described in Acrobat Help, under "Replace pages using a page thumbnail," I try to drop the page thumbnail onto the page number as prescribed but the page to be replaced never highlights like it should.  It will only give the insertion highlight between each page, indicating that it is about to insert a page.
    Other macs exhibit the same behavior -- it always works in Acrobat 7 and 8 but not 9.
    Thank you for your assistance.

    I'm using the Windows version of Acrobat Pro 9 and found this thread with the same problem. (Key command to replace on Windows is: Ctrl + Alt).
    Anyway, to answer the how to disable the warning, go to the Acrobat Preferences. In the General category under "Warnings", check the setting "Do not show edit warnings". There should be a similar setting on the Mac version.
    (Now I wish replacing pages didn't require a key command like in previous versions.)

  • Fast transfers via drag and drop w/ARD, but painfully slow on AFP...?

    So, we've tested this using the same exact file on the same machine (same internet connection and all that):
    If I open up ARD and then control our server with it via my laptop, then I open up my personal afp folder on the server itself via ARD and take a file from my laptop and drag it over to the server folder using ARD, it transfers fast.
    Now, If I try it the 'conventional' way (without ARD open at all) and just go the command+k (or "connect to server") route and try to drag the same file over the the same folder as before, it will take at LEAST 10 times as long, if not more.
    Can anyone explain why this may be occurring? Clearly, it's not the network since transferring a file the first was was lightning fast. So, it's got to be something either on my machine or on the server that the afp folder is hosted on that's choking up with connection somehow.
    Any thoughts?

    I've read somewhere, that ard uses multicasting for distribution of files.
