Avoid "drag and drop" in hierarchy maintenance, why?

I have read in several places that drag and drop maintenance should be avoided, what is the reason?
Is it because of the default application of
- first period of consolidation?
- period of divestiture?
Or is there something else?

The reason for avoiding drag-and-drop for cons unit/group hierarchy changes is because of the reporting logic.
The hierarchy is time dependent. The reporting logic reads the hierarchy from the latest period of the query range and also considers whether or not the cons unit is divested in the cons group for that period.Thus, data may be inadvertently excluded or included with drag-and-drop when it is not intended. Creating the cons unit in the new position and leaving it in the old position with divestiture period in the cons group master data ensure the correct reported results for each cons group.

Hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

I'm wanting to drag images from the internet into a folder on my desktop or hard drive. I am used to being able to drag just about any image from any website off the web and into a folder on my old mac, but since I got my laptop, I've noticed I cannot do that. Is it a preference?

Drag and Drop iPod Movies. Why Not?

You know, I have been wondering something for a very long time and I am amazed that I cannot find any threads anywhere by folks with the same thought process...
Why are there not commercially-available, pre-encoded, drag and drop files of movies and DVDs for iPod?
They make the PSP movies. Wouldnt this be a natural, with the sucess of the iPod and iTunes??
One goes to their neighborhood DVD retailer, buys an iPod-ready CD or DVD, takes it home and drag and drops the files into the iPod. Instead of wasting hours converting the DVD....
Food for thought during this commercially exploited holiday season....

This can happen if you don't have write access to the source folder, or if the source and destination are on different drives. Select the folder you're trying to move files from in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu; you can check and change the permissions in the Ownership & Permissions section.

Drag and drop not working

I use iTunes on my PC and sync my iPod to it.This has worked fine for a few years now.
Suddenly this morning I can no longer add mp3 files to iTunes from my PC using drag and drop.
Anyone know why this is happening and what I can do about it?

I'm afraid it's not a very helpful response but I have the same problem. I think it was triggered by a change I made - I had a CD made up of tracks by various artists and they weren't grouped together, so I selected them all, pressed 'get info', changed the composer to 'various artists' and ticked the compilation box. Since then whenever I try to drag and drop files from utorrent into itunes nothing happens

Drag and Drop / WCAG 2.0

Working on storyboards/ID for a project that must be WCAG 2.0 compliant.
Does anyone know if drag and drop exercises can meet this requirement? (Keyboard equivalents?). Also, what about roll-overs?
any advice/help would be appreciated!
Thanks

The usual answer is NO. Best to avoid drag and drop interactions if you are going for accessibility with a single course that all users must use.
My preference is to have two versions of the course. One for general users that allows for more engaging interactions such as drag and drop, and another very plain but eminently accessible version that has everything non accessible stripped out. I realise that this means a slightly higher budget expenditure, but the reality is that forcing all users to use accessible courses penalizes the majority of users if it denies them the ability to consume more engaging content.
By all means cater to those with accessibility needs. They certainly have rights.
But don't forget that the other much larger part of your audience also have rights too.

Why does not drag and drop work?!

Hello,
I am trying to implent a drag and drop from a table to an icon representing a trash.
The drop handler fails in converting the selected rows to a list:
com.sun.el.MethodExpressionImpl@87d9c00d javax.el.ELException: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.List
Could you help me to understand why? Below are the details.
This is the af:table:
<af:table var="row" rowBandingInterval="0" id="t1"
value="#{bindings.MyView1.collectionModel}"
rowSelection="multiple"
columnStretching="last"
horizontalGridVisible="false"
verticalGridVisible="false" fetchSize="-1"
autoHeightRows="6" width="190"
disableColumnReordering="true">
<af:column sortable="true" headerText="Entry" id="c1"
align="start">
<af:outputText value="#{row.Description}" id="ot1"/>
</af:column>
<af:dragSource actions="MOVE" defaultAction="MOVE"
discriminant="delete"/>
</af:table>
This is the drop area:
<af:image source="Images/empty_trash_32.png" id="i2">
<af:dropTarget dropListener="#{backingBeanScope.DropHandlerBean.dropHandler}"
actions="MOVE">
<af:dataFlavor flavorClass="org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.RowKeySet"
discriminant="delete"/>
</af:dropTarget>
</af:image>
This is the failing listener listener (the failing point is bold):
public DnDAction dropHandler(DropEvent dropEvent) {
DnDAction dnda = DnDAction.NONE;
if (dropEvent.getProposedAction() == DnDAction.MOVE) { // delete
RichTable table = (RichTable)dropEvent.getDragComponent();
//determine the rows that are dragged over
Transferable t = dropEvent.getTransferable();
//when looking for data, use the same discriminator as defined
//on the drag source
DataFlavor<RowKeySet> df =
DataFlavor.getDataFlavor(RowKeySet.class, "delete");
RowKeySet rks = t.getData(df);
if (rks == null) {
return DnDAction.NONE;
Iterator iter = rks.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
//get next selected row key
System.out.println(rks.toArray().length); // the number of selected rows is ok
List key = (List)iter.next(); // here gives: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.List
//make row current so we can access it
table.setRowKey(key);
//the table model represents its row by the ADF binding class,
//which is JUCtrlHierNodeBinding
JUCtrlHierNodeBinding rowBinding =
(JUCtrlHierNodeBinding)table.getRowData();
Row row = (Row)rowBinding.getRow();
//delete row;
row.remove();
//activate animation
dnda = DnDAction.MOVE;
return dnda;
thanks.

I did try, I obtained this:
java.lang.NullPointerException
Why NullPointerException?
I don't know if this helps, but consider that the collection model comes from a ViewObject built on three EOs with many fields, although the table only shows one column.
This is the Iterator in my pageDef:
<table IterBinding="MyView1Iterator" id="MyView1">
<AttrNames>
<Item Value="Cod1"/>
<Item Value="Cod2"/>
<Item Value="Cod3"/>
<Item Value="Cod4"/>
<Item Value="Description"/>
<Item Value="Cod5"/>
</AttrNames>
</table>
Any idea?
I will see the Key content with the debugger.

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5 Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library... or File/Add Folder to Library...
Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
Do either of the following:
1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
Steps
1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
To resolve it from within Itunes I did : Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
Click OK.
Closed iTunes/
Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
Works fine now.

Why am I having trouble importing vCards? I follow the Help Center instructions by dragging and dropping, but some don't sync into the cloud. And why can't I drag multiple vCards? I have over 4,000. Please tell me I don't have to do one at a time?

Why can I no longer drag and drop in iMovie 11?

Why can I no longer drag and drop in iMovie 11? This means I can't select transitions, titles, or even move clips within the project. Never had this problem before.

Serious bugs in iM 11 with numerous lock-ups and crashes. I shouldn't have upgraded -- now I'm pulling out my hair trying to complete a video project with it.
Apple is losing their way.

Why Can I no longer drag and drop songs into Itunes playlists?

Why can I no longer drag and drop songs into itunes playlists. Was working fine then just stopped???

found solution, thanx everyone

I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on two computers. One computer allows me to drag and drop. The other does not.The one that allows it has problems. Any idea as to why I can drag and drop on one and not the other. Both are authorized.

I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on my two computers. I first connected the Touch to my desktop and it allows me to drag and drop mp3 files from my old Classic, which is backed up to a directory. Unfortunately, that computer has gone down before I got a chance to fill the Touch. I have the files on another computer but when I connect the Touch to it, it doesn't allow me to drag and drop the files. I have iCloud set on both systems and I have manual management check marked. I'm not understanding why it allows drag and drop on one PC and not the other when they are both set the same way. My question? What do I need to do to be able to drag and drop in iTunes 12? I didn't do anything special on the computer that allows it so I am at a loss.
Thank you!

Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
My other PC was:
Windows 7 Ultimate
My MacBook is:
Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

Why cant I drag and drop into playlists

I used to be able to drop and drag inrto playlists. Now I get a message which says press + button to add, but there seems no way of doing it. I'm using windows 7

Apple Support Communities updatesI’ve tried the control-I route and then tried to locate the file without success. What I get as a file location starts with //localhost/C:/Users. It may also be useful to know that most/all the missing files seem to have been copied from CDs. I can’t be sure if it’s all because the whole music file has nearly 9000 entries! The ones that still seem to work were copied from an external hard drive.

why cant I drag and drop into playlists
                                The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. (In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows if this might apply.)
                                Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
                                In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Although it says something like "use the same location" it expects to find the tracks in the same artist & album layout that it generates, not all in one big folder.
                                If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

Why cant i drag and drop into my external

I am trying to understand why my external devices dont pop up on my desktop, and i cant drag and drop files into my external HD, how do i put a file into an external device?

To make it display on the desktop, Finder > Preferences > General tab > check external disks.
The drive might be formatted NTFS for Windows which is treated as read-only on the Mac. Need to reformat it using disk utility.

Why itunes wont drag and drop to FCP.

I can drag and drop a track from itunes straight into my premier pro project on windows, but I cant drag and drop to my FCP project on the Mac. Why?

By re-arranging the windows, this appears to work.
i.e. left window to right window.

Why Cant I Drag And Drop Music And Movies to My iPOD?

Why does Apple make this so hard? I dont want to sync, everytime I do I lose everything and I dont like keeping a separate folder with my tunes I like to listen to all the time and then I dont have the time to go through 50 gig of music to uncheck or check what I want on my ipod.... Why cant I just drag and drop to my Ipod? Why do I need itunes is there another way to get music and videos on my ipod other than itunes?

Also, I cant just look up what my ipod has on it all ready to delete some videos or music. It wants to sync up with my hard drive then it deletes everything.
Sorry but I am way confused on this. I was really used to my basic MP3 player where I have folders on my drive that I just drag and drop/delete as easy as that.
