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.

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 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'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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Within an Album? Drag and drop.
    You can't do this in an Event.

  • Managing the position of photos within an Album

    I am unable to drag and drop photos within a Shared Album.  I was able to do this  previously.  Is this not possible in a shared album?

    Photos has very limited sort order for any album. Generally, either by date and time, or manually. You can only change that on user created albums. Hopefully, future updated will provide more user control.
    You're welcome

  • 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?

  • Rearranging photos within an album PSE13

    I need advice  on how to  re-sequence photos within an album. I'm using PSE 13.  Drag and drop doesn't work.  I also tried: right click on an album >edit album. This allows me to rearrange the photos in the right screen panel but the changes do not seem to be incorporated into the album itself after I check-off "OK".  Any help is appreciated.
    THX,
    Vinny

    Please select the album.
    Now Choose Album Order in Sort By options.
    You should be able to rearrange the photos in that album.
    Thanks,

  • Drag & drop item within Tree not working

    Hi,
    I want to be able to drag & drop items within a tree but
    items cannot move accross branches
    It can only be moved within its branch.
    For this I have a condition in dragDrop(event) handler.
    When i drag item it does not move accross branches which is
    intended but when i drop within its branch
    on a different location,
    the item does
    not get dropped
    Though i have dragMoveEnabled set to true.
    my code looks like this:
    private function onDragDrop(event:DragEvent):void {
    var dropTarget:Tree = Tree(event.currentTarget);
    var node:XML = myTree.selectedItem as XML;
    var p:*;
    p = node.parent();
    if(node.parent().@label != "sameBranch") {
    return;
    } else {
    // drop target.
    Do i need to do anything else...
    Please advice.
    Thanks
    Lucky

    topping up, still did not find a way to do...
    but i have handled all tree events like dragEnter and
    dragDrop as described in the flex doc.
    Has anyone faced a similar issue...

  • PSE 12 captions and numbering of photos within an album

    On PSE12, can I make the caption I have given a photo to appear on thumbnail within an album?
    Is it possible to not have the # of the photo within the album to appear in the upper left corner of the thumbnail?

    No, the caption can't appear in the browsing space, but if you are using the full screen option (F11) the caption is shown.
    Is it possible to not have the # of the photo within the album to appear in the upper left corner of the thumbnail?
    The order of the photo is only visible if you are in 'album order'. In the other sorts (filename, chronological, batch import) it is not shown.

  • I can't delete certain photos in my album with the trash button.

  • 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.

  • I can't drag/drop files!! HELP :( :(

    I can't drag/drop files from one place to another, like across my desktop,i have to cut/copy paste them into another location.
    It randomly change as before i could drag/ drop files, etc

    OS X will move the file if you hold the command key while you drag and drop.
    What happens if duplicate files are found during the move drag and drop. If you release the command key to answer the dialog box that appears, the file will be copied but not moved. If you continue to hold the command key as you click the Replace button, the move action will be completed.
    To move files in Finder first press Command+C to copy the selected files, then press Command+Option+V to move the copied files to the current folder.
