AIR DROP DOESN'T WORK

The airdrop feature does not work between my iPhone 4S (iOS 7.0.6) and iPad Mini (iOS iOS7.0.6) - there is no way of air dropping between the two.
The Apple help shows Air drop on Control Centre but there is no Airdrop icon on Control Centre of either of my devices. Bluetooth and wifi are switched on and both devices are on the same wifi network at home and both independently access wifi for web and email just fine.
Another promise from Apple not yet fulfilled but perhaps there is something I have missed? Any help much appreciated.

You are most welcome

Try this first. On your hard drive, go to Users / yourself / Library / Preferences.
In that Preferences folder there is a file called com.apple.finder.plist.
Trash that file and restart.

Drag & Drop doesn't work in XP64!?

That's a strange one... I've built a Flex interface
that run's fine in XP32. Now I try to run that with Firefox 32 and
the most recent Flash Player, and drag and drop doesn't work :-(
The drag does not even start. Beside that problem, the app
works fine.
Any ideas, helpful hints or suggestions?
Thanks a million
Klaus

Jonas,
do you have a backup of the documents in iCloud Drive?
Then try the following:
Open the System Preferences > iCloud panel and click the "options" for iCloud Drive.
Then disable "Pages" on iCloud Drive.
Close the System preferences and restart the Mac. Now enable "Pages" again.
This should download fresh copies of your Pages documents from iCloud and may take a while.

Mail drop doesn't work

When I try to use Mail Drop Apple Mail responds
'Attachement can't be send by Mail Drop' - 'try later again'
But it doesn't work. I have an iCloud account of course.
Any ideas?

Pushed the wrong button, sorry! It didn't solve my problem.
I have tried several file sizes but never bigger than 3Gb. I know that Mail Drop is limitated to 5Gb.

Problem Cursor disappears / Drag and Drop doesn't work

Hey everybody,
I have an urgent problem!
Three butterflies are supposed to be dragged in an object. My customized cursor is sort of a landing net to catch these butterflies.
For the cursor I have this code:
cursor_mc.startDrag("true");
Mouse.hide();
My drag and drop code is:
cursor_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMove);
redbutterfly_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMove);
violetbutterfly_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMove);
yellowbutterfly_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMove);
cursor_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopMove);
redbutterfly_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopMove);
violetbutterfly_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopMove);
yellowbutterfly_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopMove);
function startMove(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   redbutterfly_mc.startDrag();
   cursor_mc.startDrag();
   violetbutterfly_mc.startDrag();
   yellowbutterfly_mc.startDrag();
function stopMove(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   redbutterfly_mc.stopDrag();
   cursor_mc.stopDrag();
   violetbutterfly_mc.stopDrag();
   yellowbutterfly_mc.stopDrag();
But when I'm clicking on a butterfly my cursor stops to move and stays on the position of the butterfly, which i'm dragging. After dropping it, there is no cursor at all so one doesn't know where the mouse is currently located.
Does someone know why this doesn't work? I'm working currently with a mousefollower, because at the moment this is the only way it works..
The mousefollower code is:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler)
function enterFrameHandler(event:Event):void {
    cursor_mc.x += cursor_mc.mouseX / 4;
    cursor_mc.y += cursor_mc.mouseY / 4;
But now I have the problem that only the yellow butterfly moves even if I'm clicking on the red or the violet...
Please help me!! Thank you in anticipation!

You've solved the problem, thank you very much!
Since it seems you know all about actionscript or at least all answers to my questions, I try my luck a further time
If I wanted to collect the caught butterflies in a certain target, for example a flowerpot, where the butterflies can't be removed after dragged in, is this more or less the code for it? I haven't tried it yet but I'm searching the internet for something like that and maybe it is the right thing? And is in this case "myTarget" the name of the picture which is used as the target? Thank you in advance!
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.startDrag(true);
    event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
    startX = event.target.x;
    startY = event.target.y;
function dropIt(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.stopDrag();
    var myTargetName:String = "target" + event.target.name;
    var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(myTargetName);
    if (event.target.dropTarget != null && event.target.dropTarget.parent == myTarget){
        event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
        event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
        event.target.buttonMode = false;
        event.target.x = myTarget.x;
        event.target.y = myTarget.y;
        counter++;

Air drop don't work on 4 yr old macbook pro's

I just downloaded Lion on my 4 yr old macbook pro and air drop is one of the features that wont work because my mac is to old in the computer world. I am trying to now find out what else am I gonna not get out of this and why didnt they say that kinda tacky.

Any feature specific requirements are listed on the Specs page. Airdrop needs a newer network card that can run in two modes at the same time.

Drag and drop doesn't work after upgrading to Yosemite

It is strange. Since upgrading yesterday to Yosemite, my drag and drop does not working consistently. I use drag and drop all of the time, into emails, moving files from one folder to another, moving music from finder to itunes, etc. It seems each time I try to drag a file, initially the Finder window I am dragging from crashes and re-starts. Once it re-starts, I actually am able to move a file as normal for about a minute or two. After a minute or two, if I try to drag and drop a file, again it crashes and re-opens.
Does anyone have any ideas? I did submit a bug notice to Apple, but thought maybe someone would have a fix.

I'm not sure if this experience relates to your issue but maybe..
After upgrading my iMac to Yos, I could only select and copy files to relocate them. Frustrating for a couple of days. I eventually found that the setting on my trackpad was for three fingers over a selected file/folder window/etc moved the item to where I wanted. It had automatically changed to this preference. Its called a 'three finger drag'. The video shows a pane being moved but it also applies to all files etc. It can found in preferences/trackpad/point & click. Here you can turn it off if that is hat is causing the issue. Otherwise no software solutions I'm aware of. Good luck.

Drag and drop doesn't work on non-intel machines

It may be just me but Pages on my Macbook Pro allows me to drag and drop. The same document on my work G5 doesn't have this functionality. Both machines run 10.4.10 though the G5 doesn't have all the latest updates (corporate firewall issues)
I am assuming its the different processor but would be interested to know of others experience.

I drag & drop in Pages, Numbers, AppleWorks, etc. on both my G5 tower & my MacBook Pro all the time, no problems. There is a trick, though. You do need to click & then wait a half-second or so before dragging.

Drag n' drop doesn't work

When I drag photos from iPhoto to desktop or a folder in the Finder, it seems to copy the files - and then all of the files disappear! I can export the files, but why doesn't the drag n' drop work? I'm using Lion and iPhoto 11.

Create a folder on the Desktop and see if you can drag and drop onto it. If not then make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a viable backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

MacBook Air Safari doesn't work after ML update

After I updated my MacBook Air 2012 to Mountain Lion yesterday, Safari stopped working. It says it's connected but Safari won't open any page.
This is the third time it happens and I'm getting sick of it (SL, Lion OS and now ML)
I had to reset my iMac (PRAM) to get it back working again, but is there another suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Hey I just foud this on this forum. It's worth a try :-)
Also, are you able to ping the network. Go to Terminal and type the following:ping google.com
you should get something like this:
Arnolds-MacBook-Air:~ arnieaz$ ping google.com
PING google.com (74.125.224.168): 56 data bytes

Re: WiFi Issues With MacBook Air
Jul 27, 2012 11:26 AM (in response to curvetr)
I had similar issues to the ones that seem to be plaguing people in this thread. However, I found a solution that worked for me, and will hopefully help you and some others!
System prefs > Network > Cog/gear button on the bottom left (sorry dont now what it's called) > Set service order.
If you find that the service order puts bluetooth ahead of Wifi, try switching Wifi up to the top spot. It worked for me. Let me know how it goes, hopefully it works!
Best of luck, Chris

Drop doesn't work

Hi,
that's my problem:
Connected as system I want to drop a user 'User1' by sql command:
drop user User1 cascade;
I get the message: ORA-01918: user name does not exist
But "select * from all_users" shows User1 with USER_ID = 118 !
Deleting the user by APEX-GUI thru Home>Administration>Manage Database Users>User --> Drop
works fine!
My long-shot guess is that User1 was generated by "Datapump" .
Can anybody help?
Regards,
Wilfried

My short shot guess the user was created with mixed case and wrapped in double quotes so Oracle took the username literally.
Lowercase characters (and the - and the space character) are considered special characters in identifiers. If you are using special characters you need to wrap this identifier thus:
"DitIsEenVervelende Gebruiker"
I see you seem to follow the course
'How can I work with Oracle by reading as little as possible'.
You will need to end that course very soon, or you'll become a true bore to this forum.
