Drag and drop an Address Book card onto a Pages address field

Whenever I "drag and drop" an Address Book card onto a Pages address field, it hangs for almost a minute before the address appears. I don't believe this is normal, does anyone else have this problem?

Sounds like you "upgraded" to Pages 5.
Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Can't drag and drop from Address Book to Mail?

    Hi,
    I have always used Address Book to store my email contact information in SL. When I wanted to send an email, I would drag and drop from Address Book to the "To:" field in Mail and it would add the contact information to Mail. I upgraded to Lion, and now when I try this, the address icon moves like it should, the little green circle with the + in it appears when I hover over the field, but when I release it does not add the address to Mail. The drag and drop does not work at all, but it looks like it should. I have searched all around but have not found any information about this. Does anyone know what's up with this? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

    Are you dragging from the actual AddressBook application, or the Address icon you can add to the NewMail and Reply toolbars in Mail?  (It ought to be there by default, but isn't).
    Either should work, but if AB doesn't, try the icon method:

  • Drag and dropping an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned.

    If I drag and drop an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned. It winds up somewhere in the middle of my screen. Any way to have the address file land and stay where my mouse pointer is?

    You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
    You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
    Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

  • I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1...I used to be able to drag and drop contact addresses from my address book to an e-mail header.  Now I have to type all the names and can't drag and drop.  Is there a setting for this?  Thanks!

    I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1.  I used to be able drag and drop names from my address book into the address header, but can no longer do that.  I now have to type each name in.  Does anyone know if there is a setting for this or is it a feature of the updated software?  Thanks for any info!

    Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
    If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
    Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
    You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

  • Why can I not drag-and-drop email addresses into Address Book?

    I've used today the email client and the email address autocompletion feature figured out nicely the email addresses of the recipients I wanted to send the email to. So far so good. However, when I've selected all addresses in the To line, I would have liked to be able to drag-and-drop them into the Address Book application, automatically have new entries created there and why not a new group too?

    No, that is not possible. However, [Mail Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has a script to add every address to the address book, allowing you to pick which ones go to which group and to add a new group, if you want.

  • How can i get the address with drag and drop from address book into pages?

    I want to creat a letter withe the new pages. Normaly it was possible to put the adress from the adressbook with drag and drop into the letter. So it was possible to create one letter with many different adresses. But now I didn't find this function any more. How to do ist now?
    Withe best regards and I'm sorry for may bad english

  • Why can't I drag and drop songs from my PC onto my iTunes?

    Hi, I am unable to drag and drop music from my PC to iTunes.  I have always done it this way.  Anyone else having problems?

    Hi B-rock, yes I have tried adding to library but still no luck.  I am also up to date on the latest version on my iPhone and iPod.
    I ended up burning the MP3's to a CD then transporting them to my iTunes when I inserted the CD into my PC!
    This has only started happening since I updated!

  • Can't drag and drop email addresses into Mail's search field

    Since upgrading to Yosemite, I am no longer able to grab an email address from "To:" and "CC:", and drag it to the seach field in Mail. The green + sign shows up like it's going to add the address, but when I release the mouse button, the search field is left blank.

    ... and re-typing the whole address works for my Mom. I, however, prefer increased functionality with my upgrades, not the other way around.

  • Unable to sync/drag and drop, two bought albums (cd) onto my ipad, the option to drop them isn't available

    I have recently bought two albums, (cd) and as my macbook doesnt have a disk drive someone placed them onto a memory sick for me, I placed the albums into my itunes libarary, but when dragging them across to add them to my ipad, it wouldn't select the ipad as an option, I have tried adding the albums to playlists on the ipad to no succcesss, any help would be welcomed.

    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.

  • HT3642 HOW DO I PLAY DIGITAL MOVIES I DOWNLOADED FROM ITUNES ON MY NON APPLE SMART PHONE? I HAVE TRIED TO CLICK COPY AND PASTE & I'VE TRIED TO DRAG AND DROP TO A SD CARD AND IT SHOWS ITS ON THERE BUT IT I WON'T PLAY. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

    HOW DO I COPY AND GET IT TO PLAY ON A SMART PHONE FROM A SD CARD? IT SHOWS IT ON THE CARD BUT IT WON'T PLAY. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

    You cannot. Those will be DRM locked to Apple authorized products. Since you cannot authorize you non-Apple smart phone in iTunes, you cannot play iTunes DRM locked content on it.

  • NamedViewCriteria not working when drag and dropped as filtered table.

    Using JDev 11.1.2.1.0.
    I'm attempting to use NamedViewCriteria more and more because, well ... I keep reading it's the way to go. But I'm encountering an aggravating problem. I can't get them to work when I drag and drop as a filtered table onto a page. They work when I apply them in a managed bean, but simply dragging and dropping will not trigger the NamedViewCriteria to display the filtered items correctly.
    Creating a where clause manually works fine.
    Manual Where Clause & drag and drop ViewObject from data control
    (:pBpKey is null or upper(BP_KEY) like '%' || upper(:pBpKey) || '%') AND CinderBusinessPartners.BP_TYPE = 'C'NamedViewCriteria & drag and drop from ViewObject's NamedViewCriteria from data control
    ( ( (CinderBusinessPartners.BP_KEY LIKE ('%' || :pBpKey || '%') ) AND (CinderBusinessPartners.BP_TYPE = 'C' ) ) )There are three problems:
    1) The query pulls back all items. It doesn't retrieve only where BP_TYPE = 'C'.
    2) It is case sensitive. i.e. Enter in A will not pull back the customer Wal-Mart because Wal-mart contains lowercase a's.
    3) If I set the table's "Show Filter" attribute to true, the filter has the text "\*pBpKey\*" filled in by default. uhhh What?
    In the NamedViewCriteria's "UI Hints" tab, I have the "Query Automatically" checkbox selected.
    Any ideas why the NamedViewCriteria isn't "just working"?
    I'll be back with pictures after the break.
    Will

    I've rolled this into a bug post as seen here: BUG: NamedViewCriteria drag and drop as table SNAFU

  • Drag and drop from mail to address book not happening

    Hi guys, I can no longer drag email addresses from Mail into Address Book. The address just bounces back. I've repaired permissions, installed the latest security update, repaired permissions again, rebooted twice. Any ideas?
    Mail 4.5. Address Book 5.0.3 (883). Mac OS 10.6.8. MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB Ram, 666MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

    Hi mbriscoe, I've since upgraded to Lion and the same downgrade of functionality exists. I can no longer drag and drop an address from Mail into Address Book. I now have to click name, wait for menu, select Add to Address Book, go into Address Book and find the name I just added, then drag the name into the specific group I want it to be in. It used to be very useful, the drag and drop, in an "it just works" kind of way. Now it's not.

  • I can't drag and drop songs onto my iPod from iTunes. (Manual transfer is not working.)  Please help!

    Normally, I just select songs and I'm able to drag and drop them from my library onto my device.  I have an iPod Touch and an iPhone 4.  I want to drag and drop my songs from the library onto my iPod Touch.  I have already selected manual upload instead of automatic sync.  I tried suggestions from the Mac message board (since other people seem to have had a similar issue), and their solutions didn't work for me.  I have restarted both iTunes, my computer, and reconnected my iPod multiple times.  I don't know what's going on, and I can't find a fix anywhere in iTunes help.  If anyone knows what to do, or has any suggestions, please let me know!  Thanks.

    Update: I seem to have fixed the problem!  I went to the "summary" section of my iPod after clicking on the device on the left side of iTunes.  I checked the box that allowed me to "manually manage music and videos" and applied this option.  The songs are syncing!  And, yay, they're playing on my iPod now!  Hopefully, this helps anyone else who might have this problem.  There might be other issues, but this is working for now.

  • 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.

  • Drag and Drop Files Onto EXE Icon

    I was wondering if there is a way to have the user drag and drop files onto the .exe icon and this would initiate the program to do something with those files automatically?
    For example: Some PDF convertor programs allow you to drag and drop documents, images, etc. directly onto the PDF convertor icon on your desktop and it will automatically convert them all to PDF's, without the user even having to open the program.
    Can this same type of functionality be done with a Labview EXE file?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you! That did it.
    The only side note that I would include to others that are trying this is to make sure you have the "Pass All Command Line Arguments to Application" box checked in the "Advanced" section when you build the executable.
