Alias in Dock not allowing drag

I put a folder alias of my Documents folder into my Dock. I did this so I could open Documents folder with one click. Everything is fine except I cannot drag & drop files intothis alias folder. I can however open the folder alias and then place file, but I'm unable to do it directly while it's in my dock. Basically, I drag file on top of folder allias in dock and it highlights, but when I release mouse button the file just bounces back to where it was before. I can drag and drop into same exact alias outside of the dock. This problem only happens when alias resides in dock. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks, this is an excellent idea, but I also wanted to have an alias for photo folder, too. Oh well, I really appreciate your feedback, though.

If you really want to be able to one click open the documents folder from the dock you can set the Finder > Preferences > New Finder window opens > select Documents. Now when you click on the finder icon in the dock you will get a finder window opened to Documents. You could also drag the Documents folder to the dock. That would allow you to drag/drop a file onto that dock icon.

Program in Dock Not Opening 'Drag & Drop' Files

Recently my dock icon for Photoshop has stopped opening files when I drag a list of images onto it. None of my other dock Applications seem to be having this problem and still open any document or photo I drag onto it. I love the drag&drop feature and use it all the time; not having it has been quite irritating. Any ideas?

If you restored your system you may have lost this:
"/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types"
If you do not have it you can't drag 'n drop in Photoshop. Adobe recommends a reinstall, which is insane. You just need to create the ScriptingAdditions folder in the root level Library folder and put the "Adobe Unit Types" file inside it. Note there is NO space in the folder name. As a public service I keep a copy of it here:
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/pdfs/AdobeTypes.zip
This is from the CS1 version of Photoshop, but it should work. If not, since Adobe doesn't perform that simple service, you will need to reinstall.

Drag and Drop BAPI service to workspace not allowed

Hi guru,
I'm following the VC modeler guide and try to make the first example (Sales Order) work.
After overcome some Sytem alias and Usermapping issue on Portal side, I finally can see a list of BAPI service when I click "Find Data" and then choose my client. Now I can search and see the BAPI_SALESORDER_.... services in the list.
However, I drag one of them to worksapce,..the mouse icon always shows "not allow(like traffic sign)" and I cannot add any BAPI service to my model.
Anyone encountered the same issue before ?
Anything I forget to enable ? ...like permission...
Thanks

Hi,
You cannot drag a BAPI directly to VC story board. Create an iview and drill down it and then add BAPI into that iview.

I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer.?

I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

The MacBook Pro will not allow me to cut-and-paste to and from or to click-and-drag to the external drive. I can copy-and-paste, but then I must send the original to the trash, which doubles the time and effort. Is there any way to cut-and-paste?

I have recently switched from a PC to a MacBook Pro.
I have a large number of documents and photographs on a multiterrabite external drive, backed up on a second multiterrabite external drive.
Both external drives are formatted for MacIntosh. This has been verified by agents at an Apple store and also at Best Buy in two different cities.
This is the problem:

Also, the MacBook Pro will not allow me to rename multiple documents or photographs. I can click-and-rename a single one, but this is impossibly time consuming. I can batch-rename in iPhoto, but when I transfer the photographs to the external drive, the rename does not transfer.
I’m reduced to using my wife’s Toshiba to cut-and-past, rename, and transfer documents. It works perfectly. Is there any way to do this on the MacBook Pro?
Thanks!

No, this is a philosophical difference between Apple and Microsoft. Apple believes that it's dangerous to cut a file in case the user never pastes it; in that case the file is lost. Microsoft seems to not have this problem (if I remember Windows correctly) because they don't delete the originating file if it's cut but never pasted.
Even though Macs have a lot of keyboard shortcuts, philosophically Macs have traditionally been mouse-first. This applies to file copy operations. In your case, what a Mac user would do is open the source window, open the destination window (on your second drive), and then Command-drag the selected files from the source to destination window. This is because a normal drag would leave the originals behind, while adding the Command modifier key tells OS X that this is a Move, not a Copy, so don't leave the originals behind.
(In addition there are different rules for drag-copying within the same volume or between different volumes. If you drag between two folders on the same volume, the files are moved. If you drag between different volumes, the files are copied unless you hold down Command to delete the copies on the source volume.)

Two problems in this case. First, batch file renaming is not built into OS X unless you build something with Automator. However, there are many utilities that can do batch file renaming which you can find at macupdate.com or on the App Store. Since I work with media I often batch rename using one of the media managers I have lying around like Media Pro or Adobe Bridge (comes with Photoshop).
iPhoto is a database front end designed to shield the file system from the consumer and let them concentrate on creativity and sharing. As such it is often a poor choice for managing files directly. When you "transferred the photographs" chances are you moved the originals, not the ones iPhoto edited which are stored in a hidden folder.

There will not be a way to do it exactly like Windows. As described above, there are ways to do it "the Mac way." If it is possible to remove judgment on which way is "better" you might find the Mac way to be acceptable, but of course sometimes we simply prefer what we're used to.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*View > Toolbars
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

Field or table alias is not allowed as an input of table functions

Hi,
I am trying to invoke a user defined table function through a SQL snippet like below.
SELECT (SELECT * FROM PKG_ORG_ORG_HAS_CHILDREN(org_id)) has_child
from PA_ORG_OWNER
where stud_id = 'np1';
But for some reason it will not accept column name as an IN parameter
Could not execute 'SELECT (SELECT * FROM PKG_ORG_ORG_HAS_CHILDREN(org_id)) has_child from PA_ORG_OWNER os where ...' in 2 ms 451 µs .
SAP DBTech JDBC: [7] (at 47): feature not supported: field or table alias is not allowed as an input of table functions: line 1 col 48 (at pos 47)
In general our product has a LOT of small Oracle PL/SQL functions that are invoked from SQL within application code. This is a huge bottleneck while migrating to HANA. Any best practice anyone can recommend for this issue?
-Thanks
nphana

Hi nphana,
Instead of using single function, you can create another function and Invoke the function and can use IN parameter.
Here is the example:
CREATE FUNCTION RAJ.MY_FUNC (I_VKORG NVARCHAR (4), I_VTWEG NVARCHAR (2),
             I_SPART NVARCHAR (2), I_PARVW NVARCHAR (2), I_PARZA NVARCHAR (3) )
RETURNS TABLE (KUNNR NVARCHAR (10))
LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT AS
BEGIN
RETURN
SELECT "ECC2HANA"."KNVP".KUNNR FROM "ECC2HANA"."KNVP"
   WHERE "ECC2HANA"."KNVP".VKORG = :I_VKORG
     AND "ECC2HANA"."KNVP".VTWEG = :I_VTWEG
     AND "ECC2HANA"."KNVP".SPART = :I_SPART
     AND "ECC2HANA"."KNVP".PARVW = :I_PARVW
     AND "ECC2HANA"."KNVP".PARZA = :I_PARZA
END
SELECT * FROM RAJ.MY_FUNC('7500','10','00','AG','000');
Result is shown below:
Now I created another function so that I can use the result set of above function which is used as criteria for some other table.
I not used any input parameter for second function but can be used if required.
CREATE FUNCTION RAJ.FUNC_MY_FUNC ( )
RETURNS TABLE (NAME1 NVARCHAR (35))
LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT AS
BEGIN
RETURN
SELECT "ECC2HANA"."KNA1".NAME1 FROM "ECC2HANA"."KNA1"
WHERE "ECC2HANA"."KNA1".KUNNR IN (SELECT * FROM RAJ.MY_FUNC('7500','10','00','AG','000'));
END;
Result is shown below:
Similarly you can do for your requirement.

The auxillary jack on my Itouch does not allow sound to come through with headphones, though it works in a dock as well as external speakers. How can I fix this?

You can try the standard fixes of reset, restore from backup and restore to factory defaults to rule out a hsoftware proble. Frequently it is to to a problem with the eadphone jack and the solution is to replace the jack.

You can only sync an iPhone to ONE specific computer. Otherwise you'll have the types of problems you're having.

Adobe will not allow me to drag and drop.

Ok, yes, you are correct. Adobe Reader has never allowed you to re-order pages by drag and drop of the pages.
This feature is found in Adobe Acrobat.
