Cannot Drag and Drop Computer Name onto saved unix command

I am using ARD 3.3. When trying to drag a computer from Scanner to a Unix command on the sidebar, it does not populate in the task. You have to manually open the command, and then drop into the Computer list. Deleting the com.apple.remotedesktop.plist will correct the problem for about 1 day, but then it goes back to normal. Is there a setting that I am overlooking?
Thank you.

I reinstalled ADE and also changed the USB port I was using. No problems.
I've called BN tech support twice and they've been very helpful.

Cannot drag and drop Audible audiobooks onto my iPhone 4s

When I attempt to drag and drop Auible audiobook files i only get a ghosted file on my iPhone. The file itself nver make it tot he phone. This ghosted file cannot be deleted from the iPhone.
Once I try to drag an Audible audiobook to the phone it then locks up the file transfer process on the phone and music files also become untransferable. They also just show up as ghosted files on the phone (when viewed through itunes). They do not show up on the phone when viewed from the phone.
Please help!

Now I tried downloading other albums that are in my library but not on my phone and those didn't work either. Could it be my phone or itunes that's not working?

Cannot drag and drop purchased music onto ipod

Any help please, Win XP and latest Ipod and I tunes Software
I have had Ipod for a couple of years now and now I can't seem to copy my purchased music onto my Ipod any more.
The Ipod has always been set to manual mode as I have rubbish in my library I don't wish my Ipod to suffer from.
I can copy old music from my library ok and can still import CD's and they copy ok but purchased music is a no no.
I can burn purchased music to CD and then re-burn to get around the problem.
I Look at the purchased music file on PC and it tells me that the file is locked but cannot find a way to unlock it.
Any Ideas???? Cant see any problem with permissions on files etc, etc... and still hapening after itunes and Ipod upgrade.
Many thanks if anyone can help

Thanks for the reply but I had already updated Ipod to latest before posting but still had the problem.
For all other people concerned I have now managed to fix the issue.
Windows XP users try the following.
1: Connect Ipod as usuall
2: Right click on my computer and Click on "Manage"
3: Expand the Storage tree and click on disk Management, (you can also find this in your control panel) you will see your Ipod along with all of your other fixed drives.
4: Right click on your Ipod and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
5: Click on "Change" and assign a higher letter than what it currently is. E.G (T Drive)
Click continue if you get any warnings that programs might not work etc, etc.
6: From here to make things simple shutdown your PC and reconnect your Ipod as you normally would and this fixed my problem.
It looked like there was another device using the same letter as the Ipod (Memory Card perhaps) and so setting the Ipod to somthing different seemed to fix it.
Hope the advice helps others and thanks to all the discussions that pointed me in the same and right direction.

" I ordered the Snow Leopard software and tried installing it, but it stopped and said to clean the disk."
First off, your installation disc is in all likelihood faulty.
This has been a known issue in the past:

IMovie '11 on 10.6.8 greys out contents of library, so I cannot drag and drop clips to timeline.

This has happened on multiple occasions. I don't know why Apple can't figure out how to create a reliable program. I have been using iMovie for several months now, updated to '11 in April, on OSX 10.6.8, and usually it works fine, but occasionally, out of the blue, all of the clips in my library will be greyed out. I cannot edit them in timeline unless I go to each clip individually and open up the separate editing window, I cannot drag and drop the clips to timeline, I have to manually copy and paste, and I cannot see any of the clips unless I roll over them with my mouse. My free trial of Final Cut Pro just expired and I have a couple of videos that are almost finished and this is extremely frustrating. I have seen others with similar experiences and I'm wondering if there is anything at all I can do about it. Thank you.
P.S. I did try restarting the program about 5 times and restarted my computer. Nothing gives.

Of course, I might have found a fix right after posting this. In case someone else comes along with the same issue...
I closed my MBP cover, and re-opened (this solved a menu bar issue I was also having). I re-opened iMovie, and deleted the project I had started that couldn't be continued. I started a new project, and things seemed to work just fine. So I'm not sure what it was that caused the problem, but so far it seems to be working now. Good luck!

Cannot drag and drop icons,

I'm working on a Mac Power PC G4, OS X, version 10.2.8. About a week ago I started noticing a problem dragging and dropping items with the trackpad. I can click on a file to open it, but I cannot drag and drop files to move them. If I am in a Word document, I can no longer drag highlighted text around either, or drag songs to playlists in iTunes. However, if I open a window, I can drag the open window around, just not any of the files displayed in it. The same thing happens when I hook up a mouse. I've checked the Finder view options and have done a test to check that it is not a corrupted system preferences and have tried many of the things listed on discussions I have seen online. I'm hoping that I don't have to resort to reinstalling the operating system. Everything was working fine until about a week ago, and I am aware of no changes or damage to the computer that could have caused this problem. Any help?

I created a new account with administrative privelages, but the new account still does the same thing. I also tried trashing com.apple.systemuiserver.plist as suggested to me by someone else, and it had no effect.
Thanks for you idea.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

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 drag-and-drop songs and playlists

I just got a new 2nd Gen Nano on Saturday. iTunes 7.0.1.8 updated the Nano to software 1.0.2. It will sync songs and playlists when connected to the computer. However, if I want to manually add songs/playlists, it won't let me. I cannot drag and drop from my library to my iPod. Also, all the songs are greyed out on my iPod list and it will not let me drag and drop within my iPod. They only way it will let me update songs and playlists is with the automatic option.
What is going on?

The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manually managing your songs.

Cannot drag and drop PDF pages in Yosemite Preview App

I suddenly cannot drag and drop PDF pages into the open preview PDF Yosemite> Why?
I open a PDF in preview.
I used to be able to simply drag a PDF from the desktop (or a JPG) into that open PDF in Preview.
Now it won;t let me?
Is this a bug or is there a new procedure for this?
Thanks!
Mike

Have you run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" apps on your Mac or have any antivirus software installed?
Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and the disk. Reboot normally and try again.
If the above fails reboot into the Recovery volume and reinstall the system. Repair disk permissions afterward.
Also, as a test, log into another user account on your Mac and see if the problem persists there. If it does then it's a system wide issue. If not, it's an account 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 and drop Tabs

I have used Firefox for the longest time (Since v1.0) and have loved it in every way. Version 3's tab system was extremely helpful and innovative, and 3.5's drag-and-drop system was excellent.
I now have version 4, and have had it since about a month ago. Everything worked excellently with all my extensions, until just two days ago. When I attempted to re-arrange my tabs (using drag-and-drop), nothing happened. The little arrow thing didn't appear and it didn't even acknowledge the fact that I was holding down my mouse button. This not only nullified my ability to rearrange my tabs, but also my ability to use my second monitor efficiently using the extension TabFlick.
Nothing changed when I started Firefox in Safe Mode, nor when I re-installed it. What gives?

''"...I cannot drag and drop tabs (the iconic graphic moves but disappears when released)..."''
Drop the tab when the arrow appears pointing between 2 tabs as depicted here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Tabbed+browsing#Moving_tabs
''"...also I cannot "select" tab for changing child/parent status etc."''
If that question relates to Tree Style Tab, see: http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_treestyletab.html.en ~~red:or~~ http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_treestyletab.html.en#api

How come in Pages, i cannot drag and drop images?

how come in Pages, i cannot drag and drop images?

Yes you can in all versions.
It helps if you actually describe what you are doing.
Where are you dragging it from and where are you dragging it to?
In what version of Pages?
I suspect you are trying to drag an image into a Table, Header or Footer in Pages 5, which is no longer possible. Feature removed by Apple.
