Can't open files from an application by dragging the file from another window

In Mac os x 10.6, i was able to to open a file by simply dragging it and placing it on the 'open' Window which automatically changes the location to where the dragged file is. Ever since updating to Lion, i'd have to go folder by folder from the 'Open' window until i get to where the file is and selecting it.
i

I tried it with so many applications Like When i'm sending a file via bluetooth, i tried opening a file with iTunes too by dragging to see if it'll work, it didn't. I tried uploading a Photo to facebook too by dragging it to the select photo window, it didn't work.

  • ITunes has stopped automatically syncing new books placed in Library with open file. I have to drag the file to the device to get iTunes to sync the book. Why

    iTunes has stopped automatically syncing new books placed in Library with open file. I have to drag the file to the device to get iTunes to sync the book. Why?
    Ever since version. 7 iTunes has stopped syncing checked books without dragging them to my iPad. all settings are correct.  I have set up 3 new devices and had to direct the new people to drag the books to their iPad. previous to ver. 7 this happened automaticlly just by syncling the device.  This issue isn't just on my computer but at least three others. books purchased from apple sync just fine. If is drag the book from the library ad drop it on the device it syncs fine.  What a pain if you have added several files now you either have to do the drag drop process for each one as you add it or try and remember which files you added the find them and do the process. 
    Thanks

    Hello BBWEST11,
    This may be due to iTunes 11 being set to manually manage content on devices by default.
    By default, iTunes 11 and later is set to manually manage your content on your device. Manually managing your device allows you to choose the content you want to have with you.

  • Can't open new Lion Mail? - Try delete the file "Envelope index"!

    Problem: can't start Mail.app after installing Lion. Mail.app repeatedIy crash when you accept the database upgrade.
    Possible solution:
    In Finder use Go to Folder... and type "~/Library/Mail".
    Delete the index file "Envelope index".
    Start Mail and it should work nicely.
    If you fear to delete it, move it to the Desktop. Go to step 3. If Mail works, it's safe to delete the file.
    This simple solution is found on many comments in this forum.

    FIXED!  My case was just successfully closed with Apple and I am now able to see my mail in Lion.  It took 2 days for Apple to come up with the resolution, and I was told that there were other cases of a siimilar nature reported.
    Here's what fixed it for me.  The problem had something to do with smartmailboxes, which I use in my mail.
    Close the Mail app and confirm it is closed.
    Open a Finder window.  Hold down the Option key while clicking Go along the top menu bar in the Finder window and click on Library.
    Navigate to the mail library under your user name.  In one of the subfolders, you will find 1 or more files named smartmailboxes.plist.  There may be a file name similar to that with "backup" in the name, as well.
    Drag each of those files to your desktop and ensure they are no longer in your mail library folders.
    Restart Mail.  (Those .plist files will be re-built automagically.)
    This fixed my problem and I was then able to delete those plist files from my desktop.  It did take a little while for the .plist files to regenerate, though.
    Good luck with your fix.

  • My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

    My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

    Rule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
    Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
    Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
    We need to know exactly what you did
    And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
    For reference after you get things working
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • RMS stopped. Users told "only documents created in a signed application can be opened in a signed application"

    Hi
    I hope you can help and that this is the right forum.
    We have a RMS 1.0 sp1 server which has stopped working.
    Users get "only documents  created in a signed application can be opened in a signed application" when trying to protect a document in word or Outlook, and are unable to open previously protected documents.
    C:\Users\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\DRM - only has the one file in it which is DRM-Machine. the .eul .CLC and .Gic files are missing from this folder.
    The server running the rms has an event id 82. " the callers machine certificate has a certificate chain that is not valid"
    I ran an irmcheck on the local machine which showed " No user Certificate"
    I can connect to the rms server urls , both licensing and certificate with no errors and IE shows the zone to be local intranet.
    Can anyone see what my problem might be and suggest why the workstations are not getting their certs and allowed protection? What else should I be checking?
    Best Regards
    Steen

    Hi
    Here is the answer which resolved my situation, I hope it helps yours.
    Guybrush-Threepwood I've marked your post as helpful as we had installed SP2 but it was not installed correctly and installing correctly was part of the solution.
    PROBLEM:
    Client began seeing the error:
    “Only documents created in a signed application can be opened in a signed application”
    On the server we were getting events:
    “The callers machine certificate has a certificate chain that is not valid”
    CAUSE:  
    Servers running RMS before SP2 can no longer get a valid Server Licensor Certificate.
    RESOLUTION:
    1. Install RMS v1 SP2 from:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14329
    2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry.
    For the enrollment URL on x86 versions of Windows Server 2003:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DRMS\1.0\
    For the enrollment URL on x64 versions of Windows Server 2003:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\DRMS\1.0\
    3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click String value.
    4. Type EnrollmentURL, and then press Enter.
     5. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
     6. Type
    https://activation.drm.microsoft.com/enrollment/enrollservice.asmx, and then click OK.
     7. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click String value.
    8. Type CloudGicURL, and then press Enter.
     9. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
     10. Type
    https://certification.drm.microsoft.com/certification/certification.asmx, and then click OK.
    11. Go into the RMS Web interface and renew the SLC

    This work around has always worked, it may make some changes to transitions but better that than be unable to  open. 
    Export  from version 6 as a PowerPoint, choose PowerPoint 2003 in the in advanced options.
    Once you have the PowerPoint file open in Keynote.

  • I can't open itunes it's giving an error "The Itunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for file.

    yes itunes will not open it gives me an error that the file itunes library.itl is locked or on a locked disk or i don't have write permission for it.

    Make sure that you have closed all programs that might be using the iTunes library.itl file. I would hit CTRL + ALT + DEL buttons and enter the Task Manager - from there end any unnecessary program running in the background.
    Next try to start iTunes again. If it fails, restart PC, do the same with Task Manager and try to open iTunes again.
