Can't drag and drop images onto PS icon using Snow Leopard

In general this is minor but frustrating. You can't drag an image from a document onto the PS 11.0.1 icon anymore to open the image in Photoshop.

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

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!

In iTunes I can't drag and drop podcasts onto my iPod anymore.

In iTunes I can't drag and drop podcasts onto my iPod anymore. I can still drag and drop songs onto my iPod and I can still drag and drop podcasts into other playlists. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod and I've also checked for software updates for the iPod and iTunes. Help?

Update: I seem to have fixed the problem! I went to the "summary" section of my iPod after clicking on the device on the left side of iTunes. I checked the box that allowed me to "manually manage music and videos" and applied this option. The songs are syncing! And, yay, they're playing on my iPod now! Hopefully, this helps anyone else who might have this problem. There might be other issues, but this is working for now.

Try making a direct shortcut to the Organizer and then the Editor.
You should then be able to drag and drop on to the desktop icon.
On Windows right click on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails - could be different in PSE5 but look for the exe file)
Select it and click OK
Click next
Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
Then click finish
You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application.

Can't Drag and Drop with a Double Tap using Single Finger in Lion?

I installed the Mac OS X Lion two days. But I can't drag and drop with a Double tap using Single Finger, which I used to do in Snow Leopard.
If I choose Three Finger Move, then Swap Between Pages goes back to "Scroll left or right with Two Fingers" that only works with Safari, but doesn't work with Chrome or Firefox.
I tried literally every setting in Trackpad and also checked if there was a override settings and there is no overrride setting.
Would be thankful, if you guys could suggest me what to do?
======================================
My Machine Configuration:
Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2010)
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
4GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce 320m
Mac OS X Lion (Installe on a updated Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

Hey Serge many thanks for telling me how to do. now its working like previously
I just cheked the Dragging under Trackpad option and unchecked Three Finger Moves. now I can drag and drop with a double tap using single finger.
Thank you guys. You are the best

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.

Finder - Can't drag and drop files onto stacks on the desktop anymore.

Hi,
This might sound like a strange question but in the past I was able to select a group of files in a window and drag that group to the desktop where they would stack upon one another creating a neat stack of all the files in one place. Now when I do this they drag onto the desktop and remain spread out all over the place. It's not terribly difficult to deal with except if I'm dragging say, 30 photos onto the deskop. Before they appeared stacked upon one another and I could simply drag one off the stack one by one. I am however experincing harsh symptoms of OCD because I can't figure out why. My co-worker's Mac is the same as mine (both running 10.8.2) and his files stack just fine.
I've done a fresh install after having no luck and it's till doing it.
This is really bumming me out. Any suggestions are very welcome. I've even booted into safe mode and it still won't stack drag and dropped files onto the desktop.
Thanks for any advice,
-Jason

Relaunch Finder and restart Mac OS X. See if this helps.

Drag and Drop Files Onto EXE Icon

I was wondering if there is a way to have the user drag and drop files onto the .exe icon and this would initiate the program to do something with those files automatically?
For example: Some PDF convertor programs allow you to drag and drop documents, images, etc. directly onto the PDF convertor icon on your desktop and it will automatically convert them all to PDF's, without the user even having to open the program.
Can this same type of functionality be done with a Labview EXE file?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you! That did it.
The only side note that I would include to others that are trying this is to make sure you have the "Pass All Command Line Arguments to Application" box checked in the "Advanced" section when you build the executable.

I can't drag and drop songs onto my iPod from iTunes. (Manual transfer is not working.) Please help!

Normally, I just select songs and I'm able to drag and drop them from my library onto my device. I have an iPod Touch and an iPhone 4. I want to drag and drop my songs from the library onto my iPod Touch. I have already selected manual upload instead of automatic sync. I tried suggestions from the Mac message board (since other people seem to have had a similar issue), and their solutions didn't work for me. I have restarted both iTunes, my computer, and reconnected my iPod multiple times. I don't know what's going on, and I can't find a fix anywhere in iTunes help. If anyone knows what to do, or has any suggestions, please let me know! Thanks.

Update: I seem to have fixed the problem! I went to the "summary" section of my iPod after clicking on the device on the left side of iTunes. I checked the box that allowed me to "manually manage music and videos" and applied this option. The songs are syncing! And, yay, they're playing on my iPod now! Hopefully, this helps anyone else who might have this problem. There might be other issues, but this is working for now.

Can you drag-and-drop music onto the iPhone in iTunes?

New to iPhone and only just braking it in, as it were.
It looks like the only way I can upload music onto my iPhone is via synching my entire library onto it. Which, if I may say so, is an incredibly stupid and debilitating design - amongst other severe shortcomings of the iPhone I am slowly discovering over time. Is it not possible to drag-and-drop like the good old iPods?
If this is indeed the only way to load music, what's the easiest I can pick out my favorite 2000-or so tunes and put them on there?? Don't tell me it's clicking on the boxes next to the songs in the Library page, because that's when I will start asking for my money back...
Cheers

I don't blame this person whatsoever for making the assumption that the iPod portion of his phone would work similarily, if not the same, as the iPod.
But it does work the same as the iPod. As with an iPod, you can sync all songs and playlists, or selected playlists, or you can manually manage music and videos. You can also select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab and uncheck the songs in your iTunes library that you don't want transferred to your iPhone. This can be used with syncing selected playlists - if you want to remove a song from your iPhone that is in a selected playlist without removing the song from the playlist in iTunes, you uncheck the song in the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. There is no difference with an iPod in this regard except for the iPhone not supporting disk mode.
In order to manually manage music and videos with an iPod, you must select this under the Summary tab for the iPod sync preferences, and the same for the iPhone.
And if you resent his rant, why respond and waste your volunteer time on this post?
I can waste my time anyway I see fit. If you don't like it, don't respond.
And not everyone can afford to replace this type of investment on a whim.
Copied from the OP's post.
Don't tell me it's clicking on the boxes next to the songs in the Library page, *because that's when I will start asking for my money back...*
Or the iPhone can be sold to someone else with the proceeds used to purchase a different phone. I haven't read any reports about someone having trouble selling their iPhone used at a good price even if damaged.

Can't drag and drop music onto iTunes...

Hi guys,
Ok I just recently bought my first mac, a MacBook Pro. Transferred all my files (most importantly my music) onto an external hard drive from my PC, then transferred files from the hard drive to the mac and it all seems to be fine. However for some reason I can't seem to get my songs into iTunes. I tried scan for media and that just pops up saying 'processing' for a second then nothing happens...then I tried simply dragging my whole music folder into iTunes, it looked like it was doing something, again said 'processing' but nothing happened. My music folder is pretty big at 42GB, could this be the problem? My iTunes is up to date I just don't understand, can anyone help?
Thank you,
Craig

Hello!
Check if you run iTunes in Administrator mode. For using drag and drop and miniplayer buttons in dock you need to uncheck "Run as an Administrator" in iTunes.exe file.
Have a Luck!
That is the true answer. I can't figure why the drag and drop feature is disabled when in admin mode, but I'm happy it works again. Thanks.

Can't Drag and Drop movies onto iPod

I purchased a movie from the iTunes Store, which I downloaded to my Mac. I tried drag and drop the movie onto my iPod Touch (4G), and while it showed the little 'plus' icon over my iPod, it didn't transfer the movie. I made sure I had enough room on the iPod, I tried quitting iTunes and trying again, but nothing has worked. Of course, I can download the entire movie again from the iTunes store, but that's a lengthy process. In the old days I could drag pretty much anything from the Mac to the iPod. What gives? Thanks for any help.

First of all, if you try Sync , you will get exactly the same message: *"the movie <name> has not been transferred to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod."* The message means exactly what it says. You may believe that the iPod should play them, particularly as Quicktime does, but the fact remains - it won't, which is why iTunes will not transfer them.
I don't manually manage, I only use Sync and my iTunes is littered with .mov files that will not transfer to the iPod because I get that message. I wish I had cleaned up iTunes as I went along because now it's littered with stuff that doesn't work (except in iTunes or in Quicktime).
As for .mp4 files, I cannot find one (at the moment) in my iTunes that has not transferred to the iPod - do you mean .m4v? I definitely have some .m4v files which will transfer and others that don't. I assume it has something to do with the way the audio is encoded into the video.

Can't Drag and Drop songs onto Shuffle. Autofill Doesn't work either

I know that many people have been having this same problem.
The Shuffle is recognized by the computer AND even iTunes. It shows up in the playlist, but when you try to Autofill or even Drag and Drop the songs individual, the songs, for lack of a better term, don't stick.
It was working perfectly when my daughter first got it for Christmas, and now, this happens. We have already had to return one shuffle.
Does this one have the same fate???
HELP!
Shuffle Windows XP 1 GB

Same problem here too. Was workiong fine about a month ago. When looking at songs in my Shuffle Library the new ones I have manually dragged accross appear with a 'dot' beside the track number - it is these songs which are not being transferred to the shuffle. I can't even get the message at the top of iTunes to say "Ipod Shuffle is Connected & Updating - Do Not disconnect." I have updated iTunes to latest version and completed all Shuffle updates. What's the go? Is the only solution to have the shuffle replaced? Seems very strange it used to work and now it doesn't - nothing had changed in the intervening period. Appears I'm not the only one with this issue. Does anyone have an answer?
