Cannot drag a group of photos to C.D for burning.

  I am trying to burn pictures to a C.D and when I drag and drop a group of them to the renamed Disc in finder they do not show up.  In the past I would drag and drop 100-200 pics from iphoto to a blank C.d with no issues. all of sudden this wont work. It will only drag and drop 1 pic at a time.  As well I always thought that when I highlighted a pic in iphoto before there would show a green trim around the photo but now its yellow.  Has this happened to anyone else?

You may want to try to repair your iPhoto Library.  Errors may have crept in.  Back up you library first.  Hold down the option and command keys when you start iPhoto.  This will bring up repair options.  Try the first two or three, one at a time, and see if it helps.
You may also want to check out the iPhoto Library Manager App.

    Don't you mean Photos or are you still using iPhoto with 10.10.3?
    Normally one gets the preview version of a photo or the edited version if it's been edited when dragging from a thumbnail to the Desktop.  Don't know how you would have gotten small thumbnail versions.

  • Cannot drag and drop CERTAIN photos from iPhoto 9.5.1

    I cannot drag and drop certain photos to the desktop (Mac OS X 10.9.3) from iPhoto 9.5.1
    When I encounter this problem the pointer has a circle with a slash as I drag the photo to the desktop and the file will not copy over.  I'd say 25% of my photos suffer from this problem.
    Some things of note:
    - photos that are affected have been taken by variety of devices: iPhone, DSLR camera, or scanned in from film (no device is specific to this problem)
    - a photo that cannot be copied is located in the same subfolder as one that can be copied so it's not folder specific
    - I have trashed the iPhoto prefs files as well as the cache file in Mac OS X 10.9.3
    - I have repaired permissions and the database as well as rebuilt the database in iPhoto all to no avail

  • Cannot change time info on photo PS Elements 13 for Mac

    Hello!
    I took pictures with the date/time stamp on my camera set to the wrong time.  When I try to correct the time on the photo under "file info", the time does not stay corrected.  Please help!  Thank you!

    Adobe chat was worthless.  I was told "chat support" not available for 13, then hung up upon.  I cannot get support on a brand new purchase???  Really?  Not happy.

  • I recently clicked on an iphoto 'upgrade' message I received and now I cannot see ANY of my photos!!  Desperate for help!  Please.  Thanks.

    I recently 'upgraded' my iphoto because everytime I clicked on it,  I got a message telling me to do it.  Now,  I cannot see ANY of my pictures. Very frustrating. I've already gone to 'software updates' and tried that to no avail.  Please,  anyone... HELP!!!  Thanks!!!

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

  • Cannot drag and drop to Albums when importing photos

    When you import images to Photos, you cannot drag and drop the photos to any of your albums.  What was Apple thinking by eliminating this organization feature that has been part of iPhoto since 1.0?  For example, when you import photos from your SD card (from your DLSR camera), you cannot drag and drop the photos to an album (when you have view sidebar selected).  If you select all the images, Photos for OS X will not let you drag and drop them anywhere.  Clicking on the selected photos to drag them will only de-select the photo you are hovering over.  How stupid is that?  How can Apple call that photo management?  People organize photos in Albums, but Photos for OS X only wants you to dump them into the program without any organization.  In order to drop the photos into an album, you have to import the photos and then click on Last Import.  Then select all the photos from that location, and then you can drag and drop them into an album.  Totally stupid.

    Solution may be found if you search in the "More Like This" section over in the right column.

  • Cannot drag photos into iPhoto '09

    I just got a new MacBook Pro and I installed iPhoto '09 and I noticed something odd. I cannot drag photos into iPhoto to import them. I remembered in the previous version on my old MacBook Pro I was able to drag photos to the app (in the photo area) and it would import them. Now the only way dragging works is if I drag the photos to the iPhoto icon on the dock.
    Anyone see this before? I think I might have some strange dragging problem because I can no longer drag attachments from Entourage and save them to folders I have to manually click the save button. I'm not sure if this is related. Thanks

    It was my Helvetica and Helvetica Neue fonts. They got jacked some how. I moved them and then copied them back and then rebooted. That fixed it. I guess you used to be able to disable and renable them from font book but they were locked so I did it manually. Fixed it.

  • Why am i all of a sudden having trouble dragging and dropping large groups of photos from iphoto anywhere

    This just started happening a few days ago- for some reason I am not able to highlight photos in iphoto and drag and drop them into a folder/ desktop. I can sometimes do one at a time, but not always. When I drag the group somewhere, I see the green + icon, and the red number of photos, but the photo icon doesn't get smaller, like it normally does when it's about to be moved. And once I let go to move it, nothing happens.

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does then try this basic troubleshooing fix: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Cannot drag contact to group in iCloud contacts

    On my iPad 2, I cannot drag a contact from All Contacts to a group, because I can't see the contact and the list of groups at the same time. Where do I set it so I can see both? Also, how can I unmark a contact as a favorite?

    I can't move a contact from one group to another either - anyone know a solution?

  • Cannot Drag Photos to reorganize or to albums!

    I installed the latest iPhoto update 7.0.2 on August 31 and now I cannot drag my photos anywhere! I cannot manually arrange them either. After much looking in these discussions I took a look at my console.log file and I think this is a bug. Here is a snippet I feel is relative from my log file;

    Can anyone help? I need to put together a presentation and I am totally stuck here!

    Arlee:
    Launch Font Book and check to see that you have the Helvetica Neue font installed and activated. It it is listed, deactivate it and then reactivate and then try iPhoto again.
    If you don't have it installed you can use Pacifist to find, extract and install it from your system install disk that came with your Mac. Or you can download it from Toad's Cellar.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Cannot drag photos from one event to another-

    I cannot drag photos between events following the instructions in Help and I cannot drag photos to any album new or otherwise.
    This version seems to be not all that great…

    I've been using Apple products since '74.
    Wow.
    I cannot find the photos from another app; i.e., tried to look for the iPhoto folder and found instead an iPhoto file. When the file is selected, selected iPhoto opens. This file must be the phots -- it's 5 GB!
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.
    Finally, you can drag and drop pics from the iPhoto Window to the addressbook - and many other applications.
    When you say:
    I cropped a photo in iPhoto and the original disappeared!
    Can you describe exactly where this happened?
    You create new topics in the Forum - Installing and Using iPhoto 08, in this case. The link is up there. You can't create a new topic in a thread.

  • I just downloaded OSX maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending emails.  How can I go back to old drag groups or addresses to the box?

    I just downloaded OSX Maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending email.  How can I get back to dragging groups or individual contacts to emails?

    Starting to type a name and getting a list of matches is good but it's not a substitute for being able to choose twenty or thirty names from your address book and dragging them into the "To" field. Of course many contacts can be put into a group but I may want to send occasional emails to many people who don't fit any group, and there may be no need to create a group just for that email.
    If you agree please send an email to apple feedback for Maverick OS X.

  • TS3276 I cannot send any email that has photos. and cannot drag photos to desktop

    I cannot send any email with photos attached.  Also cannot drag photos to desktop. keeps asking for password or email sent is "failed"

    Thanks Larry, I am using the default account that was used by the previous version of iPhoto, I did not change any settings when I installed 11. The program deos not seem to give me an option to use an alternate. When I try to send photos I receive a message that the program does not recognize my username/password as follow; 
    "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination."
