Cant 'drag and drop'

MBP Mac OS X (10.4.6)
I am trying to move photos from one album to another. I currently am unable to highlight a photo & drag it to a new location. I tried copy/paste but am unable to paste to new location.
I restarted and tried again and this time I was able to at least get the transaprent image but was still unable to move the photo to a new location. I have my setting set to Manual. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When you start to drag and get the transparent image do you get a red disc with the number of selected photos in it next to the cursor? If not then check to make sure you have the Helvetica font installed (Helvetica required to drag photos in iPhoto). Open Font Book and look for that font. It may have been deactivated for some reason. If it's not there you can use Pacifist to search you system install disk that came with the computer for the helvetica font file, extract and and install it.

Cant drag and drop from file-roller to nautilus when using List View

Hi, im using file-roller and i can only use drag and drop feature from file-roller when i use Icon View. If i select List View i cant drag and drop.
Is that an expected behavior or its a bug? Is there a patch or work around? (File Roller 2.20.1 and Gnome 2.20.2)
I think its a problem with file-roller cause in my other box, running ubuntu 7.10 i have the same problem, but i can drag and drop from ark even when using List View.
Thx!

Well, sorry for the double post, but after a little research i found this is a bug, actually a not yet implemented feature. There is a patch and probably its going to be merged in next version.
Ill try to apply the patch myself, if it works could the maintainer Jan de Groot put it on the repository?

Cant Drag and Drop Video to 60 gig

Hi everyone. I finally decided to try and put some video on my ipod video. For some reason though i cant drag and drop video onto the ipod. The files are all proper format so that is not the problem.
If i add the videos to my library and then have it auto-update the videos it will add them to the ipod. I cannot simply create a playlist of them though and drag it on, or drag a single video onto the ipod.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Is your IPOD set to "Manual" update when you are trying to Drag and Drop?

I Cant Drag And Drop ANYTHING!

if im in finder i cant drag and drop anything at all. i cant even move things on my desktop please help.

Try restarting or logging out and back in, or both. If that doesn't fix it, create a new admin user in Sys Prefs>Accounts and test for this behavior there.

10.2.1 now cant drag and drop

Hi all just updated a few days ago and now cant drag and drop into my itunes but i can drag and drop onto my ipiod or iphone....any ideas i think ive tried everything

As b noir pointed out...the playlist can be sorted by artist, or album, or track number...which can be helpful or really annoying, depending on what you are trying to do. Just select/sort that far left column (Left of "Name") and then you can reorder the playlist.

Hi
I think I know what's happening as I'm having the same problem.
Under previous iPhotos you could look at the main viewer and drag a photo or multiple photos from there to an already created album.
Now, it only appears that you can drag an entire event from the events window to an album, even when you click on an event to open it, you can't drag individual photos from an event to an album.
So how do we add individual photos to an album??

Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any other media like apps or photos sync to the iPod now?

Hello Alfonso,
In order to do this, you'll need to enabled 'manual mode' on your iPhone.

"every time i open itunes it tries to sync my whole library onto my ipod which i dont want"
You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
"but now i cant drag nd drop onto it anymore , and there is a "lock" symbol beside the space that shows how much space is available on my ipod"
Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, drag songs to it, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and videos" in the iPod Summary tab and click Apply. The text will change from grey to dark and the padlock will disappear: Managing content manually on iPod

Cant drag and drop in Mac mail

So in Mac Mail, I used to be able to drag an email address from the to: line to the cc: line. I can no longer do this. Also, I can no longer drag an attachment from the body of an email to the desktop. I can drag from the desktop to an email but not the other way. Any ideas?

Cant drag and drop songs on second computer

Hi all
I'm sure I've been throught the settings enough, but I cant seem to get this going. How do I drag and drop mp3's into my iphone from a second computer?
I'm travelling for a few weeks and can't seem to pull any of my music onto my iphone, its really annoying me!

Concur - just tested it.
It was never in doubt...
OK, so I have the same problem. I flush all the songs out so the shuffle is empty, click and drag a song to the ipod icone in the source pane, and as soon as the songgets on top of the ipod, the green arrow disappears and I am not allowed to add the song, either singly or in groups. Have all the latest software. Did the 5 R's.
Also, can't "Autofill from" anything but "MUSIC". It doesn't recognize any of my playlists, and nothing but "MUSIC" appears in the pop-up menu.
Now what?

I can't drag and drop images from my desktop or folder into imovie.

Simply because you are not posting to the iMovie forum. Post there and find out.
