Can't drag and drop email addresses into Mail's search field

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I am no longer able to grab an email address from "To:" and "CC:", and drag it to the seach field in Mail. The green + sign shows up like it's going to add the address, but when I release the mouse button, the search field is left blank.

... and re-typing the whole address works for my Mom. I, however, prefer increased functionality with my upgrades, not the other way around.

Why can I not drag-and-drop email addresses into Address Book?

I've used today the email client and the email address autocompletion feature figured out nicely the email addresses of the recipients I wanted to send the email to. So far so good. However, when I've selected all addresses in the To line, I would have liked to be able to drag-and-drop them into the Address Book application, automatically have new entries created there and why not a new group too?

No, that is not possible. However, [Mail Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has a script to add every address to the address book, allowing you to pick which ones go to which group and to add a new group, if you want.

Can't drag and drop from Address Book to Mail?

Hi,
I have always used Address Book to store my email contact information in SL. When I wanted to send an email, I would drag and drop from Address Book to the "To:" field in Mail and it would add the contact information to Mail. I upgraded to Lion, and now when I try this, the address icon moves like it should, the little green circle with the + in it appears when I hover over the field, but when I release it does not add the address to Mail. The drag and drop does not work at all, but it looks like it should. I have searched all around but have not found any information about this. Does anyone know what's up with this? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

Are you dragging from the actual AddressBook application, or the Address icon you can add to the NewMail and Reply toolbars in Mail? (It ought to be there by default, but isn't).
Either should work, but if AB doesn't, try the icon method:

Can I drag and drop single photos into Events?

Hi guys. I've very recently ordered a new Mac that will have iLife 08 on it. Before I get started with it I've got a question about Events. I've been using iPhoto for the last several years, organizing my photos into albums. I've cleaned up my images to around 1,000 photos, and I plan to only use events for organization. (I don't want to use Events AND albums, don't see the point, I'm going to try using ONLY Events.) But I've got a few scenerios that I'd like to throw by you all, to see if they would work, as I'm hoping that they will...
I don't shoot photos into pre-defined "Events", I shoot photos by what I feel like shooting. "Hey, my dog is doing something funny" - There's 3 pictures, or "Wow that's a big spider!" - 1 picture, or "My little neice is doing something cute" - There's 4 pictures. I do not want 450 events, each containing 1 - 5 pictures.
Can I drag and drop single pictures into different events? For example, have an Event called "Friends" with pictures of my friends in it, that I put there? Or an event called "Concerts" with photos taken throughout the years?
I hope I've made it clear what I'm looking to get out of Events!
Thanks in advance for any help.

Exactly - I think he will want to matain his existing structure -- people are making too much of the name change from rolls to events.
I have events with one photo and events with as many as 2000 photos -- I like this better than rolls but albums, folders and keywords are still the key to granular organization - events are ust the library to hold my photos
To me it is a small step forward that makes organization much easier (and it was not that hard before)

PS - now if I could just get all of my edits to save - where are TD and OT to solve that one for me?

Can't drag and drop MP3 files into GB since Snow Leopard upgrade

Not sure if this is a known issue but ever since I have upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6), I have only been able to import (drag & drop) some MP3's into a podcast project. For example, some files I was able to import before, no longer can be dragged and dropped to create a new track.
I've tried creating a new podcast project but thats not working either. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I just read another from another website - http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
that if you choose delete the prefernce files .plist/.cs and use "SAVE AS" vs "SAVE" the files I referred to above get saved when attempting to open th project again. I tried it and it seems to work for me now. I hope this helps others with the GB *"File Not Found"* dilemma in Leopard and Garageband V5.1

Why can I drag and drop a file into A3, but not import it?

With A2+ I've scanned images (Epson flatbed) and imported them as TIFF, JPG, PNG, whatever.
Same scanner, software, and A3 refuses to import any of the above formats. However, I can drag and drop the image on a project and it works.
Any ideas? I looked for relevant threads but didn't see any immediately.
Thanks

Image appears in import pane; I can assign metadata, click "import," wait about 10 seconds and it says "import completed with errors," though the file doesn't show up in project.
I have to say it's inconsistent. I just spend 20 minutes trying to import a one scan in PNG, TIF, JPG formats, and eventually gave up and dragged it in as TIF.
Just now, I tried importing it into a different A3 project, and the TIF worked. However the PNG (which I didn't drag into A3, still gives the above error.
I can live with this as long as drag and drop works, but seems like a bug.

I can't drag and drop user backdrops into Photo Booth. Help!

Hi there...just this past Monday I bought my first Macbook Pro, and I'm having a little trouble with Photo Booth. I know it's supposed to be easy to drag and drop into the User Backdrop 1, etc, but for some reason I've tried different files and they will not add into the boxes.
So far I've tried adding shots from safari, both by dragging and by saving the image to my desktop. I've also tried to add photos from my iPhoto but to no avail.
If someone can give me some help I'd really appreciate it. I've been searching online for the better part of an hour and it doesn't seem like this is a common problem.
Thanks!

Ok so I figured it out!
It was really quite a simple fix, and I feel ashamed that I couldn't come to this conclusion earlier.
Anyway, for anyone else having this issue, it was because I had Photo Booth in full screen mode. As soon as I got out of that, I was able to add pictures to my user backdrops without a problem.
Super simple.
I hope it helps someone out there.

Can't drag and drop a file into Photoshop for some reason?

I don't know what made it stop but at this point it's beginning to bug me to no end. I can no longer simply drag a file into Photoshop. I now have to go to "file --> open" in order to get anything into. Is there anything I can do to restore the ability to drag and drop?
Just to let you know I reset the preferences already and that did nothing. The other thing is I'm running Windows 7, however I've never had an issue with PS on it. Lastly I'm using CS4.
Thanks for any and all help.

You should be able to drag an image file from Windows Explorer into the work area if PS is open and maximised.
At least it works that way with Vista 64. It won't work dragging it on to the task bar button or the PS icon.

Can't drag and drop iMovie files into iDVD project

I created a bunch of iMovie projects, went through the share/media browser process. They show up as icons in iDVD but when I try to drag and drop them, I don't get the green plus sign and they don't drop. I've tried both widescreen and standard settings, in both iMovie and iDVD, matching them up - still won't drop.

What's the path to the file? Is it on an external drive? A network drive? A mapped drive? Can you try copying the file to your desktop and dragging it from there?
It's on an external e-sata drive. No problem accessing the file from within Premiere. Just can't drop it into Encoder. Doesn't work if I drag to desktop and try from there either.
Are you dragging it in from Windows Explorer? If not, then what app are you dragging from?
Yes, from Explorer.
Are you dragging the actual clip or a shortcut to it?
Actual clip.
Have you tried importing via File > Add Source...? [Double-clicking a blank spot in the Queue gets you to the same Open dialog.]
Yep, tried that. No luck. Double clicking and adding didn't work either.
Definitely only seems to be QT files. Have tried H264 files from 7D camera and ProRes files. No luck. Files that are MP4 work fine.

Can not drag and drop any songs into playlists or ipod.

My iTunes is getting really frustrating. I can not put any of my music onto my ipod because iTunes simply won't let me drag and drop. It won't let me do it onto playlists either, and I don't want to sync my iPod to my iTunes library. I already checked the source files, and made sure that iTunes isn't 'Read Only' but it didn't work and I'm at a complete loss at what to do. Help would be greatly appreciated!
Note: I'm a Windows user (stinky windows) and I have the latest version of iTunes. This hasn't happened before, and it was going on even before I updated my iTunes.

Click in the header of the very first column before the track name.
If any other column is selected, iTunes sorts on that column.

Can I drag and drop an image into Photoshop

hello, as a first time user ive using photoshop on a mac at school. i just downloaded photoshop on my pc. i cant insert my image onto photoshop. the way we do it in class is drag the image to the ps icon and it will open with the pic. please help and if theres anything i need to know please inform me also. thanks for all the help!!! ps im also learning how to use intuos tablet with it

Welcome to the forum. I don't own a mac, so I may not be as accurate as I would like.
It may require photoshop to already be running for the drag and drop to work. Try minimizing photoshop then drag and drop.

Can't drag and drop from browser to mail, photoshop CC, etc.

I can no longer drag an image from my browser (Chrome or Safari) directly into Photoshop CC, Mail and other programs like I could in the past.
I now must drag the item to my desktop first, and then drag it into the program.
I don't know when this behavior started and I don't recall doing any major updates when it first stopped working.
OSX = 10.8.5
Chrome = 30.0.1599.69
Safari = 6.0.5 (8536.30.1)
Mail = 6.6 (1510)
Photoshop CC = 14.1.2 x64
Please help.
Thank you!

In Iphoto, I select the albums I want to copy. I then hit burn CD. It then determines the amount of space needed. Then I hit burn CD again. Its begins burning the CD, then it verifies the CD, then ejects the CD when completed.
When the CD is re-inserted, Iphoto displays it as a regular album. I select the album, then a file, and attempt to drag-and-drop that file to the desktop. The cursor appears as a circle with a bar and it won't allow a one-step drag-and drop as with the old 17" IMAC.

Can't drag and drop Quicktime files into Adobe Media Encoder CS6

For some reason I can't drag Quicktime wrapped files into Media Encoder. I get this error message:
"The file [FILE PATH] could not be imported. Could not read from source. Please check the setting and try again."
I have the latest version of Quicktime installed on my system and the problem files open in QT Player without issue. Has anyone encountered this before or know of a quick fix?
I'm running CS6 on a Windows 7 64 bit system.
