Can't drag contact's name to search box

I used to be able to drag and drop a contact's name into the search field in mail, but no more. Is this gone, or is there a setting I need to reset?

Left click on the Email label in the entry's information listing in Address Book then select Search with Spotlight. If there are email messages matching the email address they will be listed in a Spotlight Finder search window with a Kind of Mail message. Or CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the name and select the Spotlight search option.
Dragging a name to Mail's search field is no longer supported.

In address book on my new macbook pro I can't drag contacts to a new message or drag a group to bcc. What do I need to do?

in address book on my new macbook pro I can't drag contacts to a new message or drag a group to bcc like I could on my 2007 macbook pro. What do I need to do?

The issue has nothing to do with your MacBook Pro. You are using a different version of OS X.
If you are using Apple's Mail application, it will search both previous contacts and the address book as you type the send address.

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

Copy and paste works. But drag and drop is also back in version 3.2. It works well here. Just drag and drop onto the canvas.Make sure you've upgraded to version 3.2 as earlier versions of Number 3 did not support drag and drop from Contacts.
Note that the column headers are misaligned if you are dragging contacts that do not contain an image. But the information in the body of the table drags in correctly.

Can't drag .mov file to aut play box.

When I import a quick time file movie I can't drag into the auto start box so that the DVD can just play when inserted. I get no error because the video won't even drag into the auto start box. What is causing this? I'm on a deadline and need to burn a DVD to hand out tomorrow. Thanks.

Sometimes permissions and preferences can get corrupted. Whenever iDVD starts acting funny, a common maintenance procedure is to do the following: Delete preferences by closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the Disk Utilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iDVD. iDVD will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Be sure also that you have sufficient free disk space on your hard drive for iDVD to function correctly. 25GB often is recommended by users of this forum. After doing all of the above, relaunch iDVD and see whether you still have the problem.
If you still have the problem, then perhaps your Quicktime.MOV movie is in a format that is not compatible with iMovie. The .mov designation can contain any number of different codecs. See if you can import the movie by dragging it into the edge of your iDVD menu window (not into a drop zone). If it won't import, try opening a new iDVD project and try to import it it there. If still unsuccessful, try copying your movie and converting it to DV stream by using the free download, Streamclip. Drag it into the Streamclip window and then File > Export to DV.
Good luck with this.

I can't put a word into the search box on many sites

I click in the search box to start typing but nothing happens in most sites. There are a few which will respond. This has only happened today. I have made no changes today or yesterday.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

How can I drag the edge/resize a text box on the 3rd row w/o changing all the rows above it?

I am new to Acrobat and FormsCentral of course.
I have three rows of text boxes, something like this:
Name
(other text fields)
Primary Address
I want the input box to be immediately following the label; for example (pretend the underline is the input box:
Name ___________
(other text fields)
Primary Address ___________
However, Forms Central looks like this:
Name _________________
(other text fields)
Primary
Address ______________
When I try to edit the Primary Address box, either by dragging the right label edge or the left text box edge on that field, it also drags the edges of the fields above it!
Is there a way NOT to do this?
I've been trying to find tutorials on how to manipulate the design/layout of the forms, but so far all the YouTube and other tutorials I've seen simply do a vertical form, one field per line.
Thanks!

You can change the size of the label, the text input box, and the field itself (border around the field in the design tab) - however there is one exception to being able to control the size of every field individually:
Fields that have "Labels left" or "Labels right" that are also the first field in a row will all share the same label width.
This is probably what you are encountering, this is how the fields work for now, those first in a row label left/right labels are all the same width.
Thanks,
Josh

i upgrade from windows 8.1 to windows 10 technical preview

Hi CEDRICCR,
What is the version of Windows 10 build you are using?
If you are currently running Windows 10 build 10041, you 'd better take a look at the blog posted in Windows blog website:
Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10041 now available
For Cortana:
Cortana is expanding into new markets on the desktop: Cortana now also works on the desktop in China, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, and Spain – in addition to the U.S. For you in these new markets, look for her to help you find the things
you need and proactively bring you information that you care about. Currently, Cortana will help you search for apps, settings, and files as well as search the web. Cortana learns your preferences and provides smarter recommendations over time. Cortana is
still fairly new to the desktop but we are continuing to fix bugs and add new capabilities all the time.
As Cyber suggested, make sure you have installed all the needed Windows Updates, and if issue still insists, submit through Windows Feedback.
Updates and feedback

How can i filter the file names in SaveDialog box?

Hi all,
I have created a save dialog box. now i want to filter out the file listing inside the save dialog window. ie, i want to know how can i make entries in the "save as type" field so that it should be allowable for a user to select only html and pdf files.
It will be very helpful if there is a code sample of the same.
Thanx in advance,
Abhi...

If you used the JFileChooser to create your dialog box, then the API documentation has an example of exactly that. (Okay, it uses different file extensions.)
If you wrote your own file save dialog box from scratch, then mimic what JFileChooser does.

ITunes will not locate an artist when I input name in the Search box of iTunes store on my PC. Any Ideas?

After inputting artist name in Search box in iTunes store on my PC, nothing happens. However, I am able to perform this function on my iPhone and iTouch. Any ideas?

You need to sync the app to the iPod
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Is the app compatible with your model iPod and iOS?
Are any Restrictions set that would prevent installing the app on your iPod? Settings>General>Restrictions
Do any apps no sync to the iPod?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Have you successfully synced aps to this iPod from this iTunes library before?

Search box settings

When I click inside the Google search box and start to enter a character, the box turns light blue and the characters do not display so I am unable to see what I am typing. Results will display below the search box. I am also able to left click, hold and drag the cursor across the search box and the characters will display as if I am highlighting to delete with white characters displaying on black background. I have Windows 7 with Firefox browser. Is this a Windows, Firefox or Google setting issue? How can I fix?

That can be caused by the "Keystroke protection" in Comcast Constant Guard. 
"Configure Anti-Keylogging Settings" -> disable

I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1...I used to be able to drag and drop contact addresses from my address book to an e-mail header. Now I have to type all the names and can't drag and drop. Is there a setting for this? Thanks!

I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1. I used to be able drag and drop names from my address book into the address header, but can no longer do that. I now have to type each name in. Does anyone know if there is a setting for this or is it a feature of the updated software? Thanks for any info!

Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

Running MacOS 10.8.4 Contacts 7.1 (1170) can't drag cards from one folder to another.

I am running 10.8.4 with contacts 7.1 (1170). I find I can't drag cards from one (any) group to another group. When I restart it shows the card and indicates that it should accept it as it isn't in that group. But doesn't move cards. Then it no longer gives any indication the cards are moving when I drag. When I shut down and restart it gives indication the cards are moving but none move and then no longer gives any indication when I drag. I am syncing with icloud.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
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 icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

I have an iphone 5, i have stupidly never done a back up! And deleted a contact. When i search the phone text messages still come up from this contact but arent in my message inbox. Is there any way i can retrieve this contact?

I accidentally deleted a contact but stupidly i haven't ever done a backup. When i search my i phone, text messages that i received from this deleted contact still appear but they aren't in my message inbox. Is there anyway i can retrieve this contact??
Thank you!!!

With no backup? No. Are you not syncing your contacts either over-the-air or with a supported application on your computer?
