Can't drag a photo to another application in Photos now

Among the MANY problems and loses of functionality when going from iPhoto to Photos is the inability to drag a photo to another application. It appears that I must export the photo to the desktop and then drag to the other application. This involves several additional steps and is much less efficient than in iPhoto. If I am only moving on photo, it is not as big of a deal, but when I have to export many photos it wastes a lot of time.
Am I missing something?

How can I drag a photo to the desktop

How can I drag a photo to the desktop

Assuming you are using iPhoto....
You want to select the event that has the photo in it then click once on the photo so it is highlighted with a yellow ring around it and then click and drag it to the desktop.
If you are finding it difficult to move the file that way you can select the picture in iPhoto and select
File > Export (Command + Shift + E) and select how you want to export it (format) and where you want to put it .
Hopefully this helps you.

Log into the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up. Look under purchases. If it is not there you may need to accept it or to unhide it

Can't drag & drop photos

I can't drag and drop about half my library from iPhoto into Pages or Keynote (I get the "springback" action). I've tried using the Media navigator or going directly from the iPhoto window. Dragging those same pics into iMovie or iTunes works fine. No rationale for why some do some don't transfer. Pics from same roll/sequence differ. One "workaround" is if I edit (crop, whatever) in iPhoto, it then usually ebables the pic to be transferred. I've tried disabling and reenabling fonts to no avail.
Thanks for any guidance

Thanks for your replies, TD. They are ordinary albums. I haven't made any smart albums yet. It's strange, sometimes when I'm trying to relocate a photo I'll see the cursor flash in another place on the page and the photo will migrate there. Sometimes there are no cursors at all.

Can't drag & drop photos within an album in iPhoto6

I can't change the order of photos in an album by dragging. Looking at the other posts, I've fixed the Helvetica bug several times (by re-activating the font in Fonts Book) but it still doesn't work. When trying to drag, the photo will migrate to a strange place within the album, or not at all. Thanks for any help.

How can I drag multiple photos from iPhoto into a Word Document

I'm creating a collage of photos for a friend and in order to get the photos to the right size and print them without trouble I need to drag all of the photos from a certain album in iPhoto into an empty word document. Is there a way to do this? If not, why not?

It's best to drag one photo at a time from the open iPhoto window into the open Word document window. Resize the photo. Then drag the next one and resize.
If you have iWork a better solution is to use Pages. That way you can resize the drag the photos into any location on page, even overlapping other photos, whereas in Word it has to be on a separate line or small enought to fit two on a line. You can access the iPhoto Library from the Media Browser in Pages without iPhoto having to be open.

How can I drag multiple photos into a new iPhoto library from search box?

I lost but found my list of photos that were in my iPhoto library. I am unable to drag more than one photo at a time from the search box into the new iPhoto library box. Am I doing something wrong or do I have to drag one at a time? (That would take hours.) Please help if you can!
Thanks,
Laure

Roam,
Thanks again. I know how to highlight and drag multiple photos or a list of files, but the only place I found my list was by going to Finder>File>Find then a dialogue box comes up. In the dialogue box I put in iPhoto and checked that then put in "kind" "is" "image" and "size" "is greater than" "30" KB. When I click search, the entire list from my library comes up but that is when I am unable to drag more than one file at a time. The box that comes up when I search isn't (at least I don't think it is) a "folder" as such. Any suggesttions?

Can we copy a region to another application?

I have a region which contains a lot of items and I want it to be also in another application....
Is there any way to copy it?
Saad

Hello,
>> I have a region which contains a lot of items … Is there any way to copy it?
The pre condition to any kind of copying is that the source and target application shares the same workspace, or the same workspace ID.
AFAIK, you can’t directly copy a region from one application to another, nor to export it as a component. However, you can copy a region between two pages on the same application, and you can export a sing page, or copy it between applications. Hence, the only solution I can think of, to your situation, is to export the source page containing your region; Import the page into your target application, copy the region from the new page into your existing page, and delete the newly imported page. It seems like a lot of work, but for a complex region, it can be worth it.
Hope this helps,
Arie.
Sorry, I didn’t see Scott post.

Can't drag & drop photos from iPhoto to Finder.

(I'm using iPhoto 9.4.2, mac OS 10.8.3)
I can drag & drop photos from iPhoto to the Finder once. It successfully copies however many photos I had selected to the folder I wanted them copied to. But then if I try to drag and drop any more photos, it won't let me - the cursor has a red bubble for qty. of photos and a gray NO symbol (circle with a line through it) where the Copy symbol should be (green bubble with plus sign in it).
Don't want to do the "Export" feature - I want to drag & drop.
Tried restarting iPhoto. Tried restarting my computer. Software is all up to date.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Sorry - but that is not currently an option - drag and drop (which is not a good way under any conditions since you have no control and simply get the preview of the photo) is either broken or has been removed - in any case no matter what you want it is not an option
The only current option (maybe the only long term option - no one here knows) is to export - this is equally as easy and gives you total control of the quality of the exported photos, the metadata included and is much easier to place photos within a finder folder structure

Can itunes playback be paused when another application (such as Quicktime) plays audio?

I listen to music using iTunes all the time on my Mac. However I am constantly having to listen to snippits of audio from recordings that I have made, and I would ideally like to briefly pause iTunes during playback.
Is there a way to automatically cause iTunes to pause its playback when another application generates audio output? When you make a call on Skype this seems happens, and so I just want to replicate this functionality on other applications that can play back audio files.
PS: I know I can simply go to iTunes and pause it, but hey, this is all about finding really easy ways to do things you do a lot and it's annoying (and distracting) to have to do all those extra keystrokes.
thanks
Steve

Hate to say it but its still a problem with iTunes although better with 7.0.1.... at least on the Win side of things.

IPod can't be restored due to another application

Here's the scoop....I have a iPod Photo 40GB and I have the latest iTunes 7.0 installed on my computer. Whenever I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes will detect the iPod and show the summery in the main window but when I try to restore the iPod it gives me the following error.
"The iPod "B's iPod" cannot be restored because it contains files that are in use by another application."
Any ideas on what I should do?
FYI, my iPod shows up as a P drive due to my network connections. Could this possibly have something to do with my Disk Management?

I used the MSCONFIG to troubleshoot this problem and I think I may have fixed it.

How can I drag a photo into a contact in Mountain Lion Contacts?

I used to be able to go to a person's web site and drag his/her picture into a contact in AddressBook. In Mountain Lion it AddressBook is now called Contacts. When creating a new contact, the picture field still shows up, and dragging a photo (in this case a jpg from a web page) into the field still shows the green plus sign. But then nothing happens. Clicking on the picture field just reveals the same dialogue as the one when creating ones own picture/icon.
Looks like a bug.

Thanks, that helped. It turns out dragging a web picture to Mail and then to Contacts also woks. I guess my question becomes then, why is it not possible to directly drag a picture into Contacts -- like it used to be?
Also, all contact pictures are now also getting entered into the list of "Recents" across all contacts, including my own, and including "Recents" when selecting an account picture.
That's clearly broken compared to how it used to be in Lion where there was a distinction of (recent) pictures for oneself and pictures for other contacts.

Can't drag and drop files onto Applications in Dock since upgrading to 10.6

Ever since my wife upgraded her iMac (2 GHz, 2 gigs) to 10.6, she can no longer drag and drop files onto certain applications in her dock to open the file. She has to go into the application and go to "open file" or whatever.
For example, if she has a Word doc on her desktop, she cannot drag it onto the Word icon in her dock.
Any advice?

You have many issues with your and your wife's machine(s). Everything you've posted works here. Reinstall Snow Leopard, repair permissions, and see if that fixes things.

Can it be done (drill into another application seamlessly from dashboard)

Is it possible to drill from a BI EE Dashboard report directly into another non-Oracle web based application? For instance, we move budget data at a summarized level into our data warehouse, which is available as a report in BI EE. If the user wants to see more granular detail, I'd like ot allow them to click a link and automatically log them into the web app by passign their ID and password in the url for the separate web application.
Note that their ID and Password for BI EE and the web application are identical.

Yes you can achieve by passing required parameters to underlying report through url parameters.
Following links will help you in achieving this.

Can't Drag & Drop Photos to Collections

I have searched the entire knowledge base for this and no luck.
I cannot select the desired photos (1 or more pics) I have in Grid View or the Slidebar, and drag+drop them onto either a Folder or an existing Collection.
When I left click over the photo and drag it, the pointer indicates I have successfully picked the group up, but when I hold it over the Collection or Folder, the pointer icon turns into the international "NO" symbol and wo't let me drop the photos into it.
I cannot find any other way to move a photo into the Collections.
I have this problem in Bridge as well, interestingly, which only lets me click on a file or sellected groug, then copy, then paste into the desired folder.
Please help.

Thanks but that hasn't worked.
I just get a "No" symbol while I hold the captured photo over anything in the Left Panel.
I can't seem to find a way to get Adobe to respond back to me about this. This prodct is a month old and this feature hasn't worked. I have not found on the Adobe website where it says you have X-amount of days of free product support but there must be. Their website seems to take you everywhere but where I need to go for the simple solution to this problem.
