Any "drag and drop" tricks for transferring TM backups onto new drive?

I've read many of the previous threads like mine, but my situation seems to be unique.
I have a damaged Time machine disk that is corrupted and can't be repaired by any disk utility programs. And I want to temporarily transfer the TM backups to another hard drive while I reformat the TM disk. I have snow leopard, but the finder won't let me drag and drop my time machine backups (Backups.backupdb) onto a new drive. I get the same "The backup can’t be copied because the backup volume doesn’t have ownership enabled" error. However, when I get info on the drive I want to transfer the backups to and uncheck "ignore ownership on this volume", I still get an error when dragging and dropping the time machine backups. The new error reads "This operation can't be completed because it isn't supported."
Are there any other things I can try to get drag and drop to work? I would have used the methods described above (clone the TM drive using disk utility or CCC), but I can't do that as my time machine disk contains a lot of other items besides the TM backups, and the disk I'm trying to drag the TM backups too is actually smaller than the TM disk. Since my TM disk is corrupted, I can't delete the extra files on the disk to make a clone that would fit on my smaller new disk. So I'm unable to clone my TM disk because it's too big. Is there any other way to make the drag and drop work in snow leopard? Everyone says it should, but I've been unable to get it to work.

That cannot be done. If the backups are corrupted beyond repair, they're useless. Even if you manage to "clone" them, the copy will also be corrupted beyond repair and useless.

That's a problem, too. See #3 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
Copy as much of the "other" stuff somewhere temporarily, reformat the disk into (at least) two partitions (see #5 in the FAQ Tip), copy the data back, and start TM fresh on it's own, exclusive partition.
Or, depending on the age of the disk, I'm not sure I'd trust my backups to it. It might be smartest to replace it. Use the old drive for the "other" stuff, and the new drive exclusively for TM backups of both your internal and the "other" external.

UIX drag and drop editor for OAF?

I posted the following question on the OAF forum, was told it might make more sense to do in the JDeveloper forum:
I've been told there is a "drag and drop" editor for UIX which can be used with OAF. Is that correct? I am using the following with EBS 11.5.10:
OA Framework Version 11.5.10.4RUP.
MDS Version 9.0.5.4.89 (build 555)
UIX Version 2.2.24
BC4J Version 9.0.3.13.93
If there is such an editor, where can I get it, and how do I install it?

Shay, thanks for the response.
I have not written any ADF code outside of the course I took a few months ago, but I'm aware of how powerful it is. My question has to do with using the same toolkit or something similar to create and/or modify OAF pages. My customer is using EBS 11.5.10, and as such is using JDeveloper 9.0.3.5. If I can show how to use ADF with EBS, even if it is in R12, I might be able to convince the customer to use ADF. However, any application we develop must work along with the rest of the EBS, so that means we must use the same security mechanism (responsibilities, menus, etc.).
Currently, to my knowledge at least, there is nothing as simple as your demo which can be done with OAF. There is no drag and drop capability, unless I've missed something.
Any comments?

When I try to drag and drop my photos in iPhoto to an external drive (for backup or to transfer them to my other Mac) only some will transfer. If I copy

When I try to drag and drop my photos in iPhoto to an external drive (for backup or to transfer them to my other Mac) only some will transfer. If I copy and paste, the same thing happens. The photos are all taken with the same camera, but some will not transfer. It tells me right away - for example, I'll "grab" 3500 photos to drag and move, and the red ball will tell me it's moving 3256 or something. If I use the copy function instead - copy 3500 photos, it will show in Finder that I can paste 3256 or whatever. This happens on my iMac as well as my MacBook Pro. It started recently and I've never had this before. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Are you able to use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu to export the photos into a folder on the EHD?

How to disable drag and drop feature for a document library?

Hi
How can I disable drag and drop feature for a document library? Do I have an option to disable it from the SharePoint's feature set?
Or can I disable it using a script? If so, how?
Regards
Paru

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to disable drag and drop feature for a document library.
Drag and drop in SharePoint 2013 is a feature that depends on HTML5, which requires version of browser, SharePoint by default doesn’t has feature to disable or enable this.
You can try disabling the drag and drop feature by disabling an add-on in Internet Explorer, or
using Internet Explorer 9 or lower.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

HT1535 Does iTunes 11 allow for the "dragging" and "dropping" of music from a library onto a manually managed device?

It appears that iTunes 11 does not allow for the "dragging" and "dropping" of music from a library onto a manually managed device.. is that true? I am trying to drag a playlist onto my iPhone. I've done it many times before on previous versions of iTunes but now that the menu is up in the heading, I can't drag the playlist onto the icon for my iPhone.

No.
Sync you are not syncing, the ONLY way to get items onto a manually managed device is to drag and drop.
However, I feel a much simpler way is to create a playlist and add/remove songs from this playlist and autosync this playlist (or multiple playlists). I use about 6 or 7 playlists
You can still also drag & drop songs while autosycning.

If I were to drag and drop files from an OSX 9 onto an external hard drive (1 TB), assuming there is still plenty of space left, will I be able to use this same external hard drive to back up my iMac (Mountain Lion)?

If I were to drag and drop files from an OSX 9 onto an external hard drive (1 TB), assuming there is still plenty of space left, will I be able to use this same external hard drive to back up my iMac (Mountain Lion)? And would it ask me if I want to initialize (thus erasing it) or eject the hard drive like the OSX 9 did?

I was trying to follow this thread because I was curious about the OS 9 installation - until I realized you have another thread going about the very same subject, albeit with a different subject line.
FWIW: it is best not to double post - things get far too confusing after a while.

Can't do any drag and drop in Firefox 12 for Mac OS X 10.6.8

I am running Firefox 12 in Mac OS X 10.6.8, and have the following strange problem.
When I try to customise the toolbar, I am unable to drag and drop any buttons onto it! I am see the hand icon, but when I click and drag an item nothing happens.
Even stranger is the fact that I also can't drag and drop images from Firefox into Finder!
Are these two problems related somehow?
Hope someone can help with this.

I have read that there are about 5 or 6 other add-ons that also inhibit Drag and Drop functionality, not just the Torbutton add-on. The list is somewhere in the main Firefox support section (but it's tough to find the answer there twice).
The generic add-on troubleshooting page is at:

Desktop drag and drop icon for my "other" computer

i really need an icon for my MacBookPro desktop to reside on my Mac Pro desktop (and vice versa) so that I can just drag and drop copy (or move) data from one volume to another. sort of like what I have with my dropbox icon in the sense that I can just keep this on my desktop and in the View Pane of Finder and drag and drop items or open the volume etc.
is this possible and i am just not getting it to work because i don't have things set to mount automatically or is there a restriction that does not allow this that I don't understand?
i am on snow leopard and the connection is via wi, but I could plug in via ethernet when i know i will need to do this sort of moving of data a lot.
thanks for clearing any of this up for me.

if as3, create a sprite or movieclip and use:
image1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,downF);
image1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,upF);
function downF(e:MouseEvent):void{
Sprite(e.currentTarget).startDrag();
function upF(e:MouseEvent):void{
Sprite(e.currentTarget).stopDrag();

Drag and drop samples for instant load and playback. MIDI SAMPLE PLAYBACK

HI, i am looking for a application where I can drag samples in it for instant midi playback.
I know logic has a way to do this through the ESX24, but the problem is there are multiple steps and it can takes around 1-3 minutes to finished the task.
I am looking for something on a more "spend less time setting up" event. Basically an application where I can manual drag and drop for quick load. I would like to use the Roland Hand-sonic as my midi play back

sonther, I've only tried the audiofinder out a little bit running in demo mode. I liked it ok, except that I thought I'd go and let it index my audio files, which took a very long time (fair enough, I have many).. but I didn't really see any great advantage from having done so. also I found that for some files it would give me a waveform overview, others it would say preview not available or something, even though they were the same format. maybe that was a demo limitation thing.
but it did get me thinking about how much I'd like to work better with my audio in the finder.. I've hated the audio import and audio window management in logic for a while so I'm always looking for better ways to do things.
...then, I saw this:
http://www.audioease.com/Pages/Soundabout/SoundaboutMain.html
now, I just checked and the website is currently updating this page. but go back later until you see it back up. there was a QT demo video (complete with that generic dutch-english accent..), showing what looks to me like exactly the enhancements I've been looking for, to work much better with audio in the mac finder. and of course it's got a few things that I didn't even know I was looking for, but now I know.
I'm hoping it gets released soon.. and I'm also hoping that it's not going to mess around with leopard when that comes out, because I have a feeling I am going to get very used to using this thing.
even for things outside logic, like quickly rounding up my work in progress files to instantly convert to mp3 and AAC right there in the finder, and then automatically have it all placed in an email ready to go, it's going to make life a whole lot easier. especially when you've been working hard on a deadline project, the last thing you feel like doing is messing around keeping your work in progress files in order, prepping mp3s or whatever and emailing, after you've finished a long day at logic.. seriously, check out the video when it's back up..
et dis-moi sonther, ça se fait comment que tu parles français? t es pô un ptit québecois par hasard?....

Drag and drop option for hierarchy through Web Template

Hi All,
I have 2 hierarchies in one report. For example Product Hierarchy and Customer hierarchy. I would like to have an option in query where I can select the node from each hierarchy and the report is displayed only for the selected node/nodes. I am using Web Template. I used "Hierarchy filter" web item and was able to achieve this. But I would like to have a drag and drop option.
I mean when I use Hierarchy filter web item, I have to select the particular node in the hierarchy. and then the report (Web Item - Table) is displayed based on the selection. But I would like to drag the node from the hierarchy and drop it to the report (Web Item - Table) and the report is displayed for the selected hierarchy node.
Is this possible? How? Do I have to write any Java code or we can achieve this with BI Standard functionality.
Regards.
Parin Gandhi.

This is not possible using Standard BI web functionality.
If you are an expert with JavaScript and BI Web APIs you can probably write JS code to do this.

Drag and drop interaction for a different use

Hi,
Can anyone please help me get the a solution to the below: For the drag and drop interaction my user should be able to drop the answer (irrespective of that being a wrong answer) to any of the options, but as they click Submit, the actual answers should show up.
I am using Captivate 7.
Thanks,
Roja

Thanks so much Sreekanth!
One thing that I am still struggling with is, the source (the questions) do not sit on the wrong destinations (non-answers), the moment it dragged to the wrong answer, the source goes back to its original place .

Multi-row "Drag and Drop" works for some users, not others

      Background: We are working on Win7 SP1 clients, Project Prof. 2010, SP2
      A couple of users have reported that they cannot move ("drag") multiple selected rows in a task sheet, only a single row at a time. Other MS Project users around them (and myself) can move multiple rows with the "Drag"
feature. "Drag and Drop" is selected in the "Options/Advanced" section of both their local global template and the Enterprise Global.
     To my knowledge, the multiple row selections contain no collapsed summary tasks, in case that might be an issue.
     I'm suspecting some Windows setting is amiss on the offending clients, but wanted to see if anyone else had seen this behavior before in Project Prof. 2010.
     Thanks!

    Thanks for the response, Shiva!
    User community is on MS Project 2010 (14.0.7011.1000) SP2, MSO (14.0.7128.1000)
    To reproduce the problem, MS Project user will select multiple task rows by selecting first row, then holding MB1, and "sliding" to the last row desired. The problem manifests itself by NOT turning the cursor into the "four-arrow cross"
after selection is accomplished. If only one row is selected, the ability to move that row alone is available.
     Again, only a couple of users (that have called me!) are seeing it. Their officemates are not having an issue.
     FYI ...

Drag and Drop functionality for SVG charts.

Has anyone been able to get a drag and drop functionality with charts?
I've read where Vikas was able to accomplish this with reports, but, unfortunately, it was an old post and his example is no longer available.
I understand that this is more on the browser/presentation layer rather than the back-end, but, judging from the replies from the mainstays in this forum along similar lines, I'm hoping someone may have accomplished this already.
I'm trying to get this to work for a "dashboard" type application I'm trying to prove out using HTMLDB.
Your responses are appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
I've done drag and drop using the Adobe SVG Viewer before in a whiteboard application built on top of ... you guessed it... Apex. Unfortunately I do not have an example I can share with you but I know it can be done because I did it, trust me ;) . I am planning on building out that application as an application anybody can download and use but unfortually it will be bit.
Your best bet at the moment is looking on google http://www.google.com/search?q=svg+drag+and+drop there are quite a few examples.
Oh also look at this file in the images directory /images/javascript/svg_js_includes/svg_common/oracle.svgNodes.js it has quite a few helper functions and that file is included in every chart by default so there are functions you can use, (no drag and drop unfortunalty)
If you have can lock down the users in your environment to use only Firefox or Safari you can look at canvas as well it's pretty handy and can do alot of the same stuff
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Drawing_Graphics_with_Canvas
and of course some simple examples in Apex

Drag and drop files for burn to DVD takes FOREVER

When I drag and drop files onto the blank DVD icon, the ghosts of said files just hang there for the longest time, and I get a spinny beach ball. Many, many minutes later things finally return to normal and I can proceed with burning the DVD. It's just copying some aliases, right? It didn't used to take more than a couple of seconds before I upgarded to Mavericks. So what the **** is taking so long now?
PBP 2.66 Core 2 Duo, running 10.9.1, burning to a Samsung Portable DVD Writer Model SE-218

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.

Adobe Captivate Help | Drag-and-drop interaction (for subscription and Adobe Software Assurance customers only)

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/drag-and-drop-interaction.html

Yep. But it will only likely get to you in the next version released for NON subscription or ASA customers. With 6.1 Adobe was giving a preview of the functionality they would be including in your next release. Either way, whether you upgraded to the subscription edition or waited for the next paid upgrade, you were always going to be paying something to get this new functionality. 6.1 users just got it earlier than everyone else. That was Adobe's decision. It certainly hasn't been a popular one.
