Contacts V-Cards no longer drag & drop into emails

So I noticed this problem this morning and now friends are having the same problem.  Everyone having the problem upgraded to Mavericks.
If you drag a contact into an email to send a V-Card (or multiple V-Cards) the file that attaches is corrupt.  The V-Card is there but it's Zero KB's and won't open.  It seems the work around is using the share button and then dragging it from the email or message window into the email.
Anyone know the solution?

And the problem is not restricted to Snow Leopard, I see it on Lion, too.
While we are waiting for Apple to fix the problem, look at this thread for some work arounds, like importing from the Media Browser or revealing the song in the Finder and dragging it from there to GB: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15858348#15858348

  • I can no longer drag songs into my playlists.

    I can no longer drag songs into my playlists. I drag them over and nothing happens.

    I have restarted several times and I still can't drag and drop. My only option is to control click and then it gives me a drop down menu of options including putting into a playlist. I think this alternative *****! Drag and drop was a whole lot easier

  • Can't Drag Photos Into Email

    I have '09 and use Entourage as my email client. For some reason when I updated to '09 I can't drag photos into an open email.
    Not sure if it's an issue with Entourage or iPhoto, but it did work fine prior to my upgrading.
    Any suggestions??
    Also, aside from beginning an email from iPhoto what is the best way to add pictures to an existing (fwd.) or new email not originated from iPhoto??
    Much thanks in advance.

    Any of the Following:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    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.

  • Excel Sheet Drag & Drop into Java Application Q

    New to this forum. Have a question regarding the ability to drag and drop an Excel Sheet from an open Excel file onto a Java application. A friend has been able to drag and drop an Excel file from Windows Explorer onto a Java application and then read the sheets to select what you want and display/use the information in a particular sheet, I'd like to take it a step further to so that the user has the ability to be working in Excel and then drag and drop individual sheets into a Java application as they desire. Is this latter option possible?

  • Just help with Drag & Drop into Backup

    I would like to know what does a person do manually for using a backup hard drive.
    Do I ... Drag and drop which of the following that will give me my all my stuff back - if my stuff is lost for some reason ..
    Do I drop and drag the Application Folder, The Library Folder, The System X folder .... or which if not those ?
    Thanks

    Usually, a roll-you-own Clone works the best; since a good one
    will allow you to boot the computer from the clone, for backup,
    repair of main internal drive, and troubleshooting; large enough
    one, can also be partitioned and part of it used for storage.
    • Carbon Copy Cloner:
    http://www.bombich.com/index.html
    • SuperDuper:
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    On an externally enclosed hard disk drive,
    with its own power supply; for most Macs.
    ie: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATAFW800_FW400USB
    These should all be able to work to complement Time Machine, but do more.
    A backup clone can get you up and running; and you can do complete or a
    partial clone (backup changes) however a complete bootable one is best...
    System parts should generally not be drag n dropped. Some backup libraries
    of iTunes and iPhoto have their own rules for archiving or storage/retrieval or
    use from an externally enclosed hard drive location.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • All of a sudden I can no longer drag/drop music onto my iPhone... What happened? :(

    So at some point in the recent past itunes stopped letting me drag music to my iphone.. I don't want to bother syncing my whole library because I have too much music. Why is it making things so difficult all of a sudden? This is REALLY ******* me off.

    roaminggnome is absolutely correct. A easier way of doing this is to click the "Music" tab when the device is connected to iTunes. Within this window, you will be able to select "Sync Music" and then below that select "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres." Following this, you will be able to pick and choose which music you want on the device.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can I no longer drag photos into an album in iPhoto 4?

    iMac G5, OS 10.4.6, iPhoto 4.0. I can't drag any photos from the library to a new album. I was trying to show my wife how to do it (she is a moderate believer) and it didn't work. I have 5200 photos in the library and have had no trouble previously. Do I have a problem with my iMac or am I just not doing something correctly?

    There was no "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" in the Library>Preferences.
    However, I restarted the beast and am able to work with iPhoto as in the past. My wife was impressed with the help, not with me. Thank you for your rapid response.

  • Drag/drop into JTable inside JScrollPane

    Hello,
    I have a table inside a JScrollPane. I can set the table as the DropTarget by the command:
    new DropTarget(table,fileDropTargetListener);
    but I cannot set the JScrollPane be the DropTarget by the same command.
    the problem is that: I cannot set the table to fit the JScrollPane by the command setsize(scrollPane.getSize() ), setPreferedSize(scrollPane.getPreferedSize()), (don't know for what reason, they don't work to fit the scrollpane), therefore when user drags an item to the JScrollPane but outside the table, the drag gesture doesnot display.
    Please anyone help me how to solve this problem. Thank you,
    fantabk

    Yes, I use custom cell renderer and cell editor for ParentTable, which returns NestedTable.
    DnD turned on for the ParentTable, so when the NestedTable is active (some cells selected in it) it receives DnD events, which are turned off for it, and DnD doesn't work.
    Possible solution is to turn DnD for NestedTable (not for ParentTable), and i'll do this if it is impossible to make it work in current configuration.
    So the question is � is this possible do not pass DnD event to NestedTable ?

  • Just started happening: Can no longer drag clips into Audio 1

    Hi-  I just encountered a problem.  When I drag a clip from the source monitor, the audio automatically splits to Audio7 & 8.  Can someone explain why this is happening?  Is this a problem and if so, how do I fix it?

    Thanks for the quick reply...
    Does it really matter if the audio is not in the Audio 1 line?  I'm trying to get myself to stop worrying about the non important stuff and finish the project.
    My ADD is horrible, things like this distract me!  The final outcome is a video testimonial page for a client... so I'm not looking for 5.1 audio.
    Is this a big deal?

  • Can't drag & drop into playlists.....

    ...not exactly true but can't multi-pick (ie left click whilst pressing ctrl button) more than 4-6 songs at a time to add to a playlist. When i try to pick more i get a short tone noise. Very frustating. Anyone? Thanks.
    hp f1523 40gb   Windows XP  

    I have about 50 playlists that I created as playlists and have always been able to add songs to as I purchased them. The lists were originally created as regular playlists. Then, one day I opened up iTunes and all the existing playlists I had created as playlists, and has always added songs to, had the "gear" symbols and acted like genius playlists. How can I change them back and why did this happen...any ideas?

  • I can no longer drag and drop pages into my bookmarks toolbar in the new firefox

    I uninstalled firefox to try google crome. Now i have uninstalled crome, and gone back to firefox. After restarted my computer i put the bookmark toolbar up but i can no longer drag sites into the bar. When i do it opens them in a whole new window.
    When i used this before i would have saved tabs in my bookmarks for easy use,
    Is this a bug or am i doing somthing wrong
    Thanks
    Mandy

    for me the problem was caused by the Torbutton add-on.
    I have read that there are about 5 or 6 other add-ons that also inhibit Drag and Drop functionality, not just the Torbutton add-on. The list is somewhere in the main Firefox support section (but it's tough to find the answer there twice).
    The generic add-on troubleshooting page is at:

  • Can No Longer Drag JPG files From Finder Directly Into .fla Stage?

    For the past six months I have been following a manual process to convert JPG files (exported from InDesign) into SWF files for display advertising assets. 
    Using pre-built FLA files as templates (configured with clicktags):
    Open FLA templates (3 separate files for 3 IAB ad sizes)
    Drag JPG from Finder directly into stage of FLA file, aligned to
    Publish to output folder for renaming
    Today, for no apparent reason, I can no longer drag anything into the stage of any FLA file.  Not just the pre-built templates.  Nothing will drag & drop into an FLA stage. 
    What I have tried:
    Restarted Mac
    Reset Flash preferences
    What I know I can still do:
    Drag files from Finder into the Library, and drag into FLA stage from there
    "File > Import to Stage..."
    This works but because of my naming convention it prompts to import them all each time because Flash sees the sequence
    This is not another step I am willing to contend with for my manual workflow
    Me and my creative team need to process hundreds of assets like this each week, so I'm very anxious to discover why functionality that was working, suddenly stopped.
    Running:
    MacBookPro Retina OS X 10.8.5
    Flash CS6 v. 12.0.2.529

    just want to add my annoyance to the pile here. I can't see any logic behind removing the drag and drop function, especially when adding a new folder is now a multi-step process that is far from obvious. to start a new playlist with local folder content you now need to:enter settingsclick into advanced settings (basically all settings now seem to be "advanced"?)manually find and add the foldergo through the adventure of finding the files in your library.
    -- because they may or may not be listed under "local files" - you won't know because Ctrl+F is also removed. so you have to remember/know what the album you added is called and search for that. if you have a mixed bag of file names from various albums, you're basically shafted; there's no way to find them all with a single search.then you can add them to playlisteta: but wait! there's more! if you have more than 15 files? you're **bleep** out of luck, because the search will only display the first 15 hits among your local files, and then show you spotify library tracks.I can't help but feel as though spotify is doing everything they can to stop us using spotify to listen to local files, as bugs that make it more or less impossible persist through multiple versions - and now features that seem to me to be basic functionality are being removed?mega minus points from someone who's been using spotify since 2008.

  • I can no longer drag and drop a website onto my desktop.  NOW I have to go through hoops to get anything I want onto my desktop !  this *****

    I had Leopard.  I jumped to Mountain Lion.  Sorry sorry sorry I did.   Many things are stupidly difficult to do, minor tasks, that once were EASY.
    I USED to be able to go onto a website, then DRAG AND DROP the ICON from it ONTO my desktop.  NO MORE.   Frankly, there is NOW no easy way that I've found ..........May I also say, Mountain Lion is one horrendous piece of ........##@@!!!.   I gave my old iMac to a friend after upgrading it for her...with Mountain Lion.   I wish to God I'd not tormented her with that OSX.  I wish to God I'd not tormented myself with it on my own iMac.
    Someone tell me......there MUST be an easy way to Drag/drop a website to my desktop for regular use???  IF NOT, we have YET another glitch on this stupid OSX.
    I have 10.8.2.  2.5GHz Intel Core i5  4GB  21.5 screen  (2011)

    I realize my post made me appear UNcalm.  Sorry.  I am rather irritated by this and have been.
    When I now go to any website, I can only go on it by clicking FULL page.  In other words, I can get to it by 2 ways, by putting it into the "google" bar, or by FULL screening to type in http....www....etc.
    I am then in Full screen to access any website.  THEN,   I can no longer drag/drop the website's Icon to my desktop.......If I diminish, I lose the website.  It may bring up the same site, but will not let me drag the site's icon ONTO my desktop to use in the future.
    That seems to have disappeared with Mountain Lion.  I was able to do it with ease on Leopard.
    Repeat:
    In Leopard, I would go to a website and could drag that website's icon ONTO my desktop.  Period.
    I am no longer able to do this with Mountain Lion.
    If I try to drag anything, NOTHING happens OTHER than it replicates the page...it does not place an icon on my desktop to use in the future.
    I am CALM.  I AM frustrated.
