Certain Numbers templets allow you to drag and drop contacts to populate cell data, how can I create that functionality in my own tables?

If you haven't come across the workarounds thread you may find helpful tips there on this and other ways to work with Numbers 3.
ronniefromcalifornia discovered how to bring contacts into Numbers 3. As described in this post:
"Open Contacts
Select all the cards you want
Copy
In Numbers, in a table, select cell A1
Paste
Boom. Works great. Even brought in the pictures. Cool."
So instead of drag and drop, just select in Contacts, copy, and paste into Numbers

    Pages: I want to reorganize items in folders, drag and drop is not working. So how can I do this?

    This is the very top of the documents view in the Pages app. If you don't see this, swipe down in this window to reveal the Date and Name tabs like you see here. If you tap on - Name - that arranges all of the documents in alphabetical order in this view and it also arranges documents in the respective folders alphabetically. If you tap on - Date - that will arrange all documents by the date that they were created or last edited. You want to make sure that you keep Name as the default at the top.
    Trust me, this does work. If you name the chapters alphabetically .... Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, or if you simply name them A, B, C, D, etc. they will be arranged in that order using the Name button at the top, which uses alphabetical order to arrange the documents.

    My iPhone5 was stolen and need to back up all data How can I do that?

    If you mean data from the iPhone itself, you can't back up anything from it now that it's no longer in your possession. If you didn't previously back up to iTunes or iCloud, then unless you are lucky enough to recover the iPhone intact, any data on it is lost.

  • Mousekeys doesn't allow you to Drag and Drop

    I have problems with RSI so I use mousekeys with Linux Gnome Desktop and with Windows. It also works well on my mac but not all features are available.
    Normally the '+' sign corresponds to a double-click and the '0' to holding the mouse key down while you move the mouse (i.e to drag and drop).
    Neither features are (currently) available on the mac (although the help suggests that the '0' can be used for drag and drop).
    Are there any plans to provide full mousekey support in future?
    It would certainly help me.

    The NumPad zero works for me to click-and-hold, please double check that this doesn’t work for you. NumPad zero or five will release whatever you have grabbed with the mouse cursor. Do you need anything else for Drag-and-Drop to work?
    You don’t need a separate key for double-click, just hit the five key twice. You can adjust the double-click activation threshold speed if you are just getting two single clicks in a row rather than a real double-click. People who need Sticky Keys with Mouse Keys tend to use other keyboard shortcuts (like Command-O for open) rather than double-click shortcut.
    For “right” click, hold down (or use Sticky Keys) the Ctrl key with the NumPad five.
    One nice thing about the Mac OS is that double clicking and right clicking are entirely optional. I wish drag and drop was equally superfluous, it is a barrier for VoiceOver users.

  • Can you drag and drop contacts into Pages template?

    Older versions of Pages allowed you to drag and drop contact information to a document or template, Can this still be done in newer versions? If so, how?

    No.
    Someone has created an AppleScript to merge your addresses however.
    Why not just use Pages '09?

  • I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on two computers. One computer allows me to drag and drop. The other does not.The one that allows it has problems. Any idea as to why I can drag and drop on one and not the other. Both are authorized.

    I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on my two computers. I first connected the Touch to my desktop and it allows me to drag and drop mp3 files from my old Classic, which is backed up to a directory. Unfortunately, that computer has gone down before I got a chance to fill the Touch. I have the files on another computer but when I connect the Touch to it, it doesn't allow me to drag and drop the files. I have iCloud set on both systems and I have manual management check marked. I'm not understanding why it allows drag and drop on one PC and not the other when they are both set the same way. My question? What do I need to do to be able to drag and drop in iTunes 12? I didn't do anything special on the computer that allows it so I am at a loss.
    Thank you!

    Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
    Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    My other PC was:
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    My MacBook is:
    Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
    Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

  • How to allow visitors to drag and drop photos

    I don't know what it is called (let me know the term if you know) but I would like to learn how to design a web page that allows the visitor to move things around to custom design something -- ie. drag and drop images in the website. My wife designs jewelry and I have seen some sites that allow visitors to drag and drop beads onto a bracelet to design their own bracelet.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I have no idea what you're talking about. Please ask real technical questions instead of generalized and visualized questions.
    Seen the technical level of your questions as far, I highly recommend to stop immediately with that visual editor and start writing code yourself. Don't brainlessly drag'n'drop as long as you don't understand at all what happens behind the scenes. You would only get yourself in deeper trouble after all.

  • HT1535 Does iTunes 11 allow for the "dragging" and "dropping" of music from a library onto a manually managed device?

    It appears that iTunes 11 does not allow for the "dragging" and "dropping" of music from a library onto a manually managed device.. is that true? I am trying to drag a playlist onto my iPhone. I've done it many times before on previous versions of iTunes but now that the menu is up in the heading, I can't drag the playlist onto the icon for my iPhone.

    No.
    Sync you are not syncing, the ONLY way to get items onto a manually managed device is to drag and drop.
    However, I feel a much simpler way is to create a playlist and add/remove songs from this playlist and autosync this playlist (or multiple playlists). I use about 6 or 7 playlists
    You can still also drag & drop songs while autosycning.

    Ok, yes, you are correct. Adobe Reader has never allowed you to re-order pages by drag and drop of the pages.

    NTFS is your problem.
    iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.

    “Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”

  • ITunes on Vista HP will not allow me to 'drag and drop'

  • Drag and drop Contact from Address Book to Pages Document on iPad

    On OS X MacBook and iMac I can use Drag and drop Contact functionality from Address Book directly on a Pages document. In Pages I have setup Merge fields to merge values from my Contacts. This works great!
    I would also like to use this in Pages on my iPad mini. I know Pages on iOS are different from Pages for OS X, but I wonder if there is any possibility for me to open OS X created Pages document with Merge fields on iPad's Pages and replace existing Contacts values with new one from Address Book?
    It seems like Pages on iOS even don't recognise Merge fields that I have created on OS X at all.

    Are you dragging directly from one application and dropping into the other? What happens if you export to vcf card then import the vcf card with the other application?

  • Need help to import and syncronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that?

    Hi,
    I need help to import and synchronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that? The default page "Select Remote Content" of the WorkCenter "Unified Navigation WorkCenter" is not working as well, when I run the import/sync button I get the following error message:
    Integration Gateway: General Connection Failed (158,10836)
    This error is thrown when there is no valid response.
    Possible errors include:
    Bad gateway URL
    Sync Service Timeout set and Service actually timed out.
    Java exception thrown - Check Application Server for possible Java exception

    Do you have integration configured between the two systems?  It sounds like you don't from the error.  Here is a walk-through on setting up Unified Navigation although it assumes you have integration already working.  If you haven't done that, it's documented a hundred different places.

  • G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
    If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
    If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.
