Can't drag folders in Media Browser

It says everywhere (in the manuals) that if you open Media Browser (in Pages, KeyNote etc), you can drag in it from the finder your folders of images or sounds or movies. I try to do it, but when I click the folder in the finder, Media Browser disappears... Anybody can kindly help? MTIA

Many thanks for yur help.
But if this is the case, somebody should at least correct the Help files where everybody can read:
*To add another folder to the Media Browser, do any of the following:*
To add a folder containing audio files, click Audio in the Media Browser, and then +drag the folder you want from the Finder to the Media Browser+.
To add a folder containing photos, click Photos in the Media Browser, and then +drag the folder you want from the Finder to the Media Browser+.
To add a folder containing movies, click Movies in the Media Browser, and then +drag the folder you want from the Finder to the Media Browser+.
Or possibly we +did NOT pay+ for the Help Files?

"Where do I find my hundreds of dollars of downloads I have done since 2005?"
They will only be where you put them If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country. You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.

Can't drag folders or files between apps using mission control

I've been using Lion without any incident so far, but now that I've downloaded the lastest update (10.7.2) I can't drag a file or folder using mouse click (or my wacom tablet) between apps or folders - gestures simply will not work.
Once I click on a file, the multi-touchpad stop responding - if this is for real, Mac just lost it's allure... the nimble feature of exposé and/or mission control was this sole ability to navigate through apps and draggin files.
What's the status, anyone got this issue already?

I've been encountering the exact same problem! that was my favourite multi-touch gesture of all, which improved the productivity greatly. The only workaround for me is to assign hot-corners to mission control and drag files i want to the corners, but I really hope there's an explanation for this because i would really like that feature to be back

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.

I can't drag folders on/off my deskstop

Although, I have rebooted my puter, I cannot drag/move any of the folders on my desktop.
What is happening?

Here's Apple doc.#107247. Apple says to restart your Mac as many times as it takes to allow drag and drop again. This problem is limited to some Jaguar users. It may take numerous restarts.
It is also suggested, in another Apple doc. I saw, you install the 10.2.8 Combo update. You can install right over your present 10.2. with no issues. Make sure you unplug all USB and FireWire before installing. Just to be safe, Repair Permissions before and after the install.
If that doesn't work try the following submitted by George Orville;
Drag & Drop not working...
You have a choice files to delete in ..... ~/LibraryPreferences
• com.apple.desktop.plist
• com.apple.dock.plist (your choice to delete this or not)
• com.apple.finder.plist
• com.apple.LaunchServices.LocalCache.csstore
• com.apple.LaunchServices. plist
• com.apple.LauchServices. UserCache.csstore
Also you have a choice of files to delete in........
/Library/Caches/ (folder)
Then restart your Mac and try!
Cheers!

Seagate 500Gb FreeAgent GoFlex HD -Can't drag folders from Mac on to the HD.

I purchased a Seagate 500Gb FreeAgent GoFlex HD. I will be copying files/folders on to a PC and a Mac. I have a MacBook Pro and I'm not able to drag files/folders to the Seagate hard drive from my Mac. When I drag them to the HD, I get the circle w/ the line across. I did the Mac install and chose the option for PC & Mac. Any ideas why my files/folders won't copy onto the Seagate hard drive??

Someone? Please?? Is it possible that I am the only one who noticed this!?!?

Can't drag photos from Media Inspector/Iphoto onto photo grid page

Each time I try to drag the picture pops back into iphoto list

You may have an issue with your iPhoto Library.
To test:
1.) Hold down the option key
2.) Launch iPhoto while still holding option
3.) Click on create new
4.) Save a new library
5.) Go to File > Import to Library and import a few pictures from Macintosh HD > Library > Desktop Pictures
__Try dragging a picture in iWeb now
If it works then your iPhoto Library is damaged.
1.) Hold down the option key
2.) Launch iPhoto while still holding option
3.) Choose your original iPhoto Library
4.) Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638 to rebuild your library. Check off the bottom 3 options and rebuild. Then try iWeb again.
Hope that helps.

Can't Drag Folders into Photos App?? Import only presents 100 photos!

So I tried importing my Aperture library with no luck - seems that I must unlock a folder every time I want to edit a photo.
Now I'm simply trying to create a New Photo Library and I drag a folder (with subfolders) into the app and nothing happens.
So I try the import menu item and it only finds the first 100 photos.
Huh??

You don't import thing, you just open the Library:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch Photos. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'

BUG? Keynote media browser can't see edited photos.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
After cropping a photo in Camera Roll within "Photos" I am unable to insert the edited photo
in Keynote or Pages via the Media Browser.
The built-in MEDIA browser, inserts the unedited photos in Keynote or Pages for iPad.
Of course, I can "copy" the eidted photo in "Photos", and then paste into Keynote. or Pages, but
how can I force the Keynote Media browser to see the updated photo and not revert to the original?
Regards

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

CS6 Media Browser Problem

When using the Media Browser in Premiere Pro to view files in a folder that contains many files (100+), the browser keeps jumping back to the beginning after viewing a few of dozen files. I then have to scroll back down to the last place I was and then I can continue a little further before the browser jumps back to the beginning again. The files do not open instantly -- there is a finite time where the message "processing ..." is displayed. I gave up before getting to the end. I doubt that I have an under-resourced computer since it is a i7-3770K with 32GB RAM and a GTX670 card. Is there a limit to the number of files that can be viewed in the Media Browser? Any suggestions?
Thanks
P.S. Just did a search on the problem and I see that it is a well known issue.

Hi guys !
Just wanted to post because we had the same problem on 4 different computers with different configurations.
It was really annoying to have this jumping/refreshing media browser problem. At a point, that this browser was useless.
Then we had a problem with droping sound editing r3d code... Kind of a deal breaker, when the company claims that you can edit 4K r3d files no ?
We finally figured out that the Media Cache and the Media Cache files NEEDS to stay in the original folders (C:\Users\nameofuser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common).
Even if everybody on the web tells you to dedicate a single SSD just for the media cahe, it won't work for Premiere pro. DON'T MOVE THOSE FOLDERS !
Removing those folders to the original place (C:\Users\nameofuser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common) [again] solved the problem for us. Hope it will work for you guys.
Don't blame Adobe, i'm sure they'll read my post to fix this in the next version of premiere

Media browser in finder

Why can't I see the media browser in the finder sidebar? Is it only available through the open file command?

Did you read my post just above yours?
Because it's not available in the Finder Sidebar, only in the Open File command.
So File -> Open in any app and you get this:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you want a media browser to invoke from the Finder, as I said above you can make one with Automator:
Open Automator
From the First Column select 'Photos'
From the Second Column select the iPhoto 'Ask For Photos' option and drag it to the third column
File -> Save As -> Finder -> Workflow
Quit Automator and you'll have a new heading in your contextual menu.
Or use THIS which does the same and is free.

How do I send only the sound track from iMovie to Media browser?

I need some wild sound for an iMovie 09 project I'm working on in Garageband (working on the soundtrack). I want to take some wild sound from a clip in iMovie and export it to the media browser so that I can use it in the project in Garageband. I detached the audio on the clip in iMovie and tried deleting the video, but it deletes the detached sound as well.
Any tips, tricks, or solutions on sending just the sound from iMovie to the media browser would be much appreicated.
thanks

With the project open, from iMovie's menu select "Share > Export using QuickTime". For the Export option select "Sound to AIFF". Give it a name and select your Save location. As far as I know, you can't save to the Media Browser as this is contained in the project's package contents folder. So save it to a convenient location (such as your Desktop) and navigate to this from GarageBand. It's probably best if you firstly move the file to, say, your Music folder or iTunes before using it in GarageBand. Otherwise, the links may be lost if you later move it from the Desktop (whereas you are less likely to move it from Music or iTunes).

I lost my entire video. How can i retirieve it? i went back to my project library and it wasnot there anymore. I saved it in the media browser then when i restarted my computer its all gone. I tried dragging it in dropbox as well but cant find it anymore

I lost my almost complete video in ivideo after restarting my computer. I saved it under media browser and I can no longer find it. When i went back to m yproject, it was no longer there. Is there a wayi can retireve it or this has been an ongoing problem?

Eventually found a answer after browsing bunch of other threads
"To find a Library go to File/Switch to Library and navigate to the appropriate Library. If that does not solve your issue please provide detailed description of your problematic workflow."
