Can't copy pdf via drag & drop to iBooks

Hi everybody,
I wanted to copy some PDFs to my iPad via drag & drop and iTunes but I am suffering under the problem that nothing happens.
I even get not displayed a "+" on my cursor and everything I have tried, nothing is copied to the ipad..
iPad is running under iOs 4.3 and iTunes is up-to-date.

I thought you were trying to find out how to drag and drop PDF files in your iTunes library in order to sync to your iPad but there are ways of sending files without syncing.
If it is just a PDF file - not a book - you can attach the file to an email and send it yourself from your computer to the iPad, open it and choose the option of open in iBooks. When you open the file in your email, tap the curved arrow icon in the upper right corner and select open in iBooks. Then the PDF will be stored in books for later viewing.
You can also sync PDF files with apps like Dropbox using WiFi. There are other apps available that will do the same thing.

  • Updated iPhoto last night...Now, can't copy/paste or drag/drop images to folders/thumb drives outside of iPhoto

    As the title states, I updated iPhoto last night as per suggestion from the App store.
    It installed, and I went back to work using it. Within a few minutes, iPhoto crashed. I sent the report to Apple.
    When i opened iPhoto back up, it said it found inconsistencies and needed to repair. so i let it repair, which took a while...when it was done, i went back to work editing some photos from a recent shoot. It almost crashed again while i was working and then it came out of it. Anyways, i shut down everything after a bit of work and all was good in the world...until this morning.
    I went to get the images out of iPhoto and onto a thumb drive, but it wouldn't let me. I selected 50 images, copied them, and went to paste in the folder on the thumb drive...but it only pasted 10 of the 50 images. so i tried dragging them all and dropping them into the folder. nothing happened. it has done this to me once before, and when it did, i restarted and tried again and it worked...this time, i restarted and tried again and it kept doing the same thing. so i shut it down, did a cold boot, got everything back up, and tried again...still doing the same thing.
    It seems like every time i do an upgrade to iPhoto it causes some kind of problem. it never crashed on me until i did the first update, and since then the stability has been a real issue.
    So anyways, i didn't have a lot of time this morning before i had to go to work to try to figure this out, BUT, i did notice that it would allow me to drag and drop 1 image at a time...and that would save to the folder i selected...but i don't have time to do 1 image at a time...EVER! i am a photographer and need to drag and drop hundreds of images at a time.
    Can anyone help?
    thanks!
    Joe

    Thanks for the response, Larry!
    I will try that when I get home and see if it works. Will update the thread with the results then.
    I hope it works as you described, but it is/was so much easier to just be able to select the photos in iPhoto and drag/drop them directly into the folder on the thumb drive...it's odd it doesn't work anymore...?

  • Can't Copy/Paset or Drag/Drop

    For some reason over the last two days i've lost the ability to cut and paste (either via shortcuts or the menus) in almost all applications. I've also lost the ability to drag and drop icons, files, folder, etc....
    Anyone else suffering from this problem or know a fix????
    I can't get much done!

    Sounds like a permissions problem. I would repair disk permissions. If that doesn't fix it, see if it's a system prefs issue by creating a new account and logging into it.If it is fine under that login, try copying the finder and system preferences from the home folder>Library>Preferences of the new account into the problem one. If the problem persists, you may be looking at an archive and install re-install of the system.

  • Macbook pro (10.6.4) -- DW CS5 -- can't copy code w/drag 'n drop

    I just installed DW CS5 in my macbook pro (10.6.4)  I find that I can't copy code by dragging and dropping, like I can on Dreamweaver CS4 on XP at work...
    I read somewhere you can do by pressing ctrl key, but if I select code and ctrl key, then context menu comes up..  I'm very used to copying code/text with drag 'n drop, in many programs...   I'm sure I must be missing something..  I assume this can be done in DW in the macbook pro..
    thank you..

    oh man...   thank you very much...  I could swear I tried everything...  maybe I didn't.... 
    thank you....

  • Can I copy and paste a drop down list into another field?

    Can I copy and paste a drop down list into another field?

    You don't have to create a PDF, but it would be helpful to know what, exactly, you want to do with the ppt.
    You can export as a PDF which will keep vectors and text as PostScript (crisp) elements.
    You can also Save As from ppt in a variety of formats such as PNG or TIFF.
    These rasterize all the vectors and text, but are very useful if you're laying out a miniature gallery of the powerpoint presentation.
    However, if you want to make the InDesign file a replica of the ppt slides for print, PDF is probably the best way to go.

  • Copy/paste and drag/drop not working in Mt. Lion

    After two weeks of searching, I can not find the hangup which is causing my iMac 27" 10.8 to stop copy/paste and drag/drop following successfully doing the same shortly after startup. In Safe Mode, it doesn't happen, so I'm wondering how to track down this problem (extension?). I have to restart in order to get it functioning again after a short time of working. There has to be some kind of timing, like a program installed with a time limit which probably was forgotten in Lion and then reared its ugly head in Mt. Lion. Any suggestions for tracking this puppy? Or is there a program I could buy to do so?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Add VideoDisplay to HorizontalList via drag & drop

    Wasn't able to find anything related to this via the forum
    search, so hopefully this isn't topic that's already been covered.
    I'm trying to add VideoDisplay objects to a HorizontalList
    via. drag & drop. I have most of drag & drop functionality
    completed, but I haven't been able to figure out how to add the
    VideoDisplays dynamically to the list. Tried a few different

    > apply your startDrag() to the loader.
    Thanks for your reply. I tried to isolate just the picture as
    follows:
    function dragPic(event:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("drag, " + this.parent)
    // event.target.startDrag();
    // this.startDrag();
    var test:Loader = Loader(event.target);
    test:startDrag();
    I got the same results. Its not only dragging the picture,
    but it is also
    dragging the background JPG file as well. I've tried making
    the
    background image a movieclip, and that did not change the
    results.
    I'm sure its something simple, but I haven't found the right
    combination or
    example.

  • Can't copy pdfs or songs onto my iPhone 4s

    After the latest software update, I can no longer copy pdfs to my iPhone 4s. In the past, I just dragged the pdf from my Mac onto my device in iTunes. Now, I can no longer do that. I also added the pdf to my iTunes library and tried to copy it to my phone from there and that did not work either. Then I realized that I could no longer manually copy songs from iTunes to my phone.
    I ran through some help documents and the only one that seemed to address this said that I had to uncheck "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically" in iTunes preferences and then run Sync. However, I do not want to automatically sync because I do not want my entire, extensive library of songs on my phone. I want to just add items manually, especially pdfs that I would like to be able to read om my phone.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    the videos were in the correct format because i even made a new copy in itunes for ipod/iphone but it was not letting me sync neither videos or music but i fixed it the issue was that i was using a different usb cord than the original becuase mine was tolen so i bought one in ebay and i was using that one to sync my stuff and it was not letting me i was not getting any error message or anything it was like just syncing but nothing was being transfer to my phone so what i did was used the original usb cable from my ipod touch to try and sync and it worked. because i resetted to as new and everything but it was not working until i used the original usb cord to do it Thanks for answering

  • In FX 8 (WinXP and Linux) I'm not able to change a route of the Google Maps routeplanner via drag&drop, the markers of start and destination don't appear and therefore cannot be moved, either.

    Usually (IE, Firefox 7 and below) if you go along the blue line of a route planned by Google Maps, a small circle appears which can be dragged and dropped to other roads so that the routeplanner changes the route. This is impossible with Fx 8, the circle doesn't appear and when trying to drag&drop I only move the map. The same applies to the markers which mark the start and destination of the route, they are not visible and cannot be moved. Disabling Adblock and Firegestures didn't solve the problem.
    When the page is loading for a moment you can see the symbol for an image which is not yet loaded both where the markers should be and if you go along the line with the mouse. As soon as the page is completely loaded you don't see this anymore.

  • Can't print pdf via CUPS / Samba

    I have a printer set up on a Linux server, which is shared in an office of Windows machines. It works flawlessly, I can print anything except for pdf files. On the client side there are no visible error messages or anything, but nothing happens, and no trace of the printing command in CUPS logs.
    Locally, from the Linux machine pdf's can be printed without any problem, but I can't do that via network from Windows machines.

    Operating system?  Reader version?  Can you post a screenshot of that unavailable option?

  • Can not copy PDF from "FP_TEST_00 " to Zform.

    Hi guru,
    I copied PDF from "FP_TEST_00" to Zform then active it, the message is displayed " No layout  exists  in original language  EN"
    Could  you please explain that and how to fix it.
    Thank you so much.
    Abaper.

    I guess, that you have not installed forms design tool on your desktop
    Also read SAP Note 801524. If everythin is done. follow the below steps
    After copying the PDF form "FP_TEST_00" to Z*, you need to create a layout to activate the new form.
    Steps for layout creation,
    1) Goto SFP
    2) Give you new form name Z* and press change
    3) Press layout button(Control + f12)
    4) Build your layout

  • Difference between importing images from iphoto via drag & drop vs 'media' button

    Hi (long time reader of this community, but my first post),
    i'm creating a huge document (approximately 200 pages) in Pages (5.0.1, Using Maverick on a 27 inch iMac).
    In the new version of Pages the "Media" button only produces small images that makes it difficult for me to choose which photo i want.
    Is there a difference between importing images from iphoto drag & drop vs 'media' button.
    Or is it better to just drag and drop the original jpegs (which i also have in a folder).
    Is Pages the best program to use for this type of project? it is a profolio with about 4 photos, text, text boxes etc on each of the 200+ pages.
    any help much appreciated.

    Pages 4.3 might be up to the job. I very much doubt Page 5.0.1 is.  It lacks more than 90 features of its predecessor and is very buggy to boot. You probably have an iwork09 folder in your Applications folder. I suggest you trash Pages 5.0.1 and use Pages 4.3 until Apple makestheir new "Eddie Cue" ready for prime time (if, that is, they ever do).

  • 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.)

  • 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

    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.
