Can't drag certain images into other albums

Hi, forgive me if this has been covered here, but I couldn't find it in search.
I cannot copy certain image versions to other albums within the same project for some reason. I have a couple hundred shots in this project, and most drag/copy into the album fine, but there is at least one that does not, no matter what I do. I've tried unstacking it from it's stack, etc. -- still won't copy.
It does act as if it's copying though -- the green plus sign appears over the album - but it never appears in that album.
Suggestions?

Make sure you are not filtering what the browser is showing in that album. Check that the searching box doesn't have anything written on it. By default should say 'Unrated or better'. Also if those versions you are copying are marked as rejects you'll need to select in the searching box 'Show all"

Can't drag an image to an album?

I am probably doing something boneheaded here (which I usually end up doing at least a few times per day)... but, I have a project, within that project are two albums. I have each album open (via option click). Is there a reason I can't drag an image from one album into the other by way of the browsers for each? IE, click on image A within the album's browser, I will call that album 1 and then drag the image to another browser, let's call it album 2. I could have sworn I have done this before, but now I can't? I can drag the image from the active browser to album 2 via the inspector pane, just not via the two albums browser windows? Kinda of a slow down to move from adjustments to projects back to adjustments when I should be able to drag and drop.
TIA,
Mike

Hi Mike,
So the issue is that you can't drag between two browser windows, but you could before?
Can you set the HUD to adjustments, the sidebar to projects (and expand the project to show the "To" album) and drag and drop between those?

Can't drag firefox image into applications folder

The instructions advise to drag firefox to image of Applications folder, but I can't find the firefox image. 2 show up on my desktop, but neither look like the one in the image and neither will move to applications folder or to dock. HELP!

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.<br />

Can't Drag Certain Songs Into iTunes

Hi,
With a couple of my mp3 tracks, every time I try to drag them into my iTunes library, nothing happens.
The tracks don't show up in my iTunes library, no matter how many times I try to drag them in, and I don't know what to do about it.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Hi e.cruddas,
That inscrutable "nothing happens" is normal iTunes behavior when it finds a file to be incompatible.
First, try to play the file in another player, such as Windows Media Player. If it plays there, then the problem is some kind of minor corruption or variation in the MP3 headers that iTunes is sensitive to. Usually the simplest fix is to use a program such as Audacity or Switch that can take the file and create a new "clean" MP3.

Putting selected images into an album, without dragging

Once multiple images have been selected in the library of iphoto2, how can you put them all into an album ?

If you have numerous photos selected, if you drag one, the rest will come too.

How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

Try this general troubleshooting procedure:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Using Pages 5.2.2: When I drag an image into my document, I lose the related text. I can crop the image, make it smaller, but it is surrounded by blankness that overrides the text. Help?!

Using Pages 5.2.2, MacBook Pro, OSX 10.9.5: I cannot drag an image into my document without it obliterating the text. Even after re-sizing, the image just becomes small inside a larger blank area that appears to cover the saved text. Help?

I can't drag any item into itunes, it seems locked

i can't drag any item into itunes, it seems locked

I found the problem. I have VMware fusion that is hosting Window XP on the iMac. When the fusion is running the CD player is not seen in OS. By quitting Fusion I can now insert a CD and the disk icon appears on the OS screen. Now I can bring up iTunes and import the audio and continue as before. The one exception is I cannot bring in a photo of the album cover as before I have to drag the photo out of iPhoto and onto the desk top. Then I can drag it into the artwork patch in the iTunes/ info window.

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location. They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

Can't drag-and-drop into applications folder

Just got a new iMac last week, my old ibook finally died. I'm trying to install firefox in the imac and i can't. It downloads fine, I can open up the .dmg file, but then I can't drag the icon into the applications folder. I can drag it, but nothing happens when I try to drop it. I've tried using the alias folder, the folder on the dock, just doing it in the finder window, nothing works! tried re-downloading, everything i can think of. Since it is a new machine, do i have something in preferences set wrong? Help!!!

Do you have "allow user to administer this computer" checked off in your account in System Preferences -> Accounts ?
Also, right click on your Applications folder, and hit "Get Info" Make sure that the group that owns it is "admin" and "admin" has read and write privileges. If it's admin, but it says "read only" click on the lock, put in your password, and flip up the group privs and change it to read and write.
If the group is NOT admin on the Get Info screen, you will need to launch /Applications/Terminal.app and issue this command:
chgrp admin /Applications

I can't drag my songs into playlists, or arrange them on a playlist. What's wrong?

I can't drag my songs into playlists, or arrange them on a playlist. What's wrong?

I have about 50 playlists that I created as playlists and have always been able to add songs to as I purchased them. The lists were originally created as regular playlists. Then, one day I opened up iTunes and all the existing playlists I had created as playlists, and has always added songs to, had the "gear" symbols and acted like genius playlists. How can I change them back and why did this happen...any ideas?

Can't import any images into lightroom 5

Working away in my studio and suddenly I can't import any images into lightroom 5 (version5.5) for macbook pro os x 10.9.5

Thank you for your response,
...my complete goofiness.
I somehow managed to change my destination folder in Lightroom when importing images and could not copy to the "location" (or as the right panel indicates, the "destination").
So adjusted my destination folder and am back to importing as usual.

Help! I drag an image into pages but it gives me the images info instead of the picture! What do I do?

Does any one know what i need to change. When i'm dragging an image into pages it ends up with the images info and web address rather than the image itself. What should I do?
Thank you.

Try dragging the image to the desktop and then to the Pages document or
Select and copy the image and paste it into the document.
It could be that the webpage is making it impossible to knick the image. I have encountered that a few times.

Can't drag images into new album page

Just started using iWeb because it seems easy to produce good looking basic pages. I may be missing something obvious, but having trawled all through this forum and iWeb help, I can't work out why the album page won't accept images dragged from the iPhoto tab of the media browser.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the prompt reply Mr Old Toad. In fact, despite the title of "Album Page" seeming to be self explanatory (usually the case with Mac software & why I love it so much) and the software instructions which say "Drag photo and movie pages here to make them accessible from one place", this time I have discovered by messing around that you have to add a "photos" page while the Album page is selected on the left. You then drag the required images into the photo page (not the album page). Each additional photo page added appears on the Album page as it is added.
One of the first methods I tried was to create an album in iPhoto and attempt to drag that into the album page. Didn't work, hence my request on this forum. So, looks like I answered my question myself. I still appreciate your diligent attention to this forum Mr Old Toad. I'm sure there will be a future problem that may not be so easily solved and that your or another's suggestion will come to the rescue.
Thanks
