Drag and drop fails on iWeb - a jpeg image refuses to drop on a photo placeholder

About three pages into creating a web site with iWeb 3.0.4, all of a sudden drag and drop is failing.  I have a placeholder image I want to replace with a jpeg photo, but neither the photo nor any of a couple of other .jpegs that worked fine on earlier pages will "drop" onto this one.
I've had no luck using Google to look for answers.
Thanks,
Jubal

Where are you dragging the photo from?  The media browser, somewhere on your hard drive?
Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

  • Cannot drag and drop file from photos app to photoshop

    Hi,
    I'm trying to open a file saved in my Photos library in Photoshop. Previously in iPhoto I could drag and drop the file to open in other applications including Photoshop but this functionality appears to be missing in the new Photos app. Am i missing something? Or is there another way to do it?
    thanks

    Tristan,
    I am stuck in the same place. Perhaps we could work on this together.
    I am trying to drag a single item from a JList to a text editor, Word, etc. I have two problems:
    1) I can't seem to get just the item in the JList to drag. It wants to drag the entire JList component.
    2) How does one define the remote application as the drop target? Have not found any examples either.
    Is the drop target actually the system clipboard?

  • How do I drag and drop in i photo

    Trying to learn how to use the drag and drop feature in the new I photo  I am having trouble moving photos around to make a book.

    Post in the iPhoto forum.

  • Recent update on PS elements 12, I can no longer drag and drop from one photo to the other.

    Hello I hope someone can help, I am using Adobe photoshop elements 12, I am using a PC with windows 8.1.
    any ways I recently was prompted that I had a update for PE12, as i always do i followed the exact instructions after the restart as prompted. I was no longer able to drag on photo to another photo, i like to use a blank page design a background and then choose a couple photos to collage or group together on one photo but now i cant drag the selected/croped or even a whole picture any one else have this probleum i am on chat with an adobe professional but even they seem stumped, maybe someone can help.

    It's a bug introduced with the 12.1 update when your images are in Tabbed view. Dragging from one to another doesn't shift focus to the second image so you can't drop it. Switch to Tiled view (Windows> Images> Tile) and drag & drop will work.
    If Tile is greyed out you need to switch on Floating Documents.

  • Can NOT drag and drop to combine Events

    I've combined Events zillions of times in iPhoto and drag-'n-drop in Aperture 3 also. Today, when I tried to drag one Event into another, it didn't work. It didn't 'release' into the new event when I let go of the mouse button. I restarted iPhoto - same problem. Rebooted my MBP, same problem.
    Tried to drag and drop a new photo into my Photostream (from Aperture this time) and the same problem. I click to drag, move the event, and then it appears 'ghosted' and will not release.
    I even went into my Sys Prefs to see if it was my mouse, but that looked OK, and I could not replicate this problems in other applications.
    I'd love to know why it does this (did I inadvertently check something somewhere) but more importantly, how do I fix this?
    Oh yes - I got an error message the first few time about repairing iPhoto, which I let it do - took about 10 minutes, and I've never seen that before in iPhoto. (Aperture, yes, a LOT...)
    Oh yes - I can 'Merge Events' from the Menu - that works, but seems cumbersome and the drag-and-drop has worked fine until today...
    I am stumpped...
    Thanks!
    Greg

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Can't drag and drop or copy multiple photos from iPhoto 9.4.2

    I am trying to export multiple edited (not originals) photo files from iPhoto to finder (actually to place in my Dropbox folder to share with friends/family). This used to be (in previous versions of iPhoto?) an easy case of dragging and dropping a selection of photos, or even a whole event, to the desired location in Finder. However, this no longer seems to work. It seems like it will as when you select and drag the photos, the 'green plus' symbol appears and remains when I move to drop the selection into finder, but then nothing happens. The photos dont transfer.  
    I can still drag and drop a SINGLE photo effectively and it saves in the edited form. I also tried selecting the desired photos, chosing copy and then paste in the desired location in finder. But when I chose 'paste' (right click, paste; or edit, paste) in the desired location, it only pastes a limited selection of the photos which I chose to copy. Not all the photos copy across.
    I cant understand why this is no longer possible as it used to be one of the classic examples of intuitive file actions that I love Apple for. The only way I can find now is to chose to export the selection or event (file, export) but this is much less easy and requires various decisions about the file quality etc. Using this option with various compression options, I have not been able to replicated the "original" file size which is displayed under 'info' for each photo in iPhoto.
    Any ideas please?
    Tom

    Thanks LarryHN thats helpful. I've just tried that and the export 'current' option does indeed re-create the edited photo file with exactly the same file size at that shown in iPhoto. I did consider the 'current' option but was put off by the loss of the metadata with this option. But maybe the old drag and drop approach was the same?
    It's curious that the resulting file size from 'export, current' is different (larger in the example I just tried) in comparison to that resulting from 'export, jpeg' (with either the medium or high option selected).
    OK there seems to be a couple of reasonable options available although neither is as nice as the simple 'drag and drop' which used to be available!!! Why would they remove that option?? (and yet not for single files?).
    Thanks

  • Drag and drop photos over video in imovie 08 - need help

    my video format is widescreen but when I drag and drop 800x600 pixel photos (actually jpeg slides) over video, imovie adjust the photos by zooming in cropping out the top of bottom of the photos. I have not been able to find any way to change this within imovie. I'd rather not redo all the slides in a widescreen format. Does anyone know a work around or a setting that I'm just overlooking?

    you're most welcome, Jon, and it's this board, which 'animates' me to do it that way and this way, and find out the differences..
    but, indeed: the 'settings' of a photo should be 'accessible' in both ways..
    ' cause, in MY workflow in iMHD6 or FCE, I FIRST import the video, and more important: the audio-track, which I 'spice up' with additional footage, as stills...
    .. but I've never done that in iM08, which is for my projects still in 'experimental use'...- (I LOVE those picture settings, de-saturating clips etc....), I get used to the many audio-layers in FCE ...
    ... and: lately, tought some iMovie-beginners (a photographer and a print-designer), with zil background knowledge of any iMovie version, the first steps with iM08... they want to use it to 'glue' some impressions together, they shoot while doing their photo-jobs.. and they were very impressed and excited!... +sooooo easy+ ... yepp, the User Experience IS breathtaking, awesome, groundbraking

  • With new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did in the past with iPhoto.

    With the new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did with iPhoto.  For instance, I have a photo collage app that in the past, I could just drag in the photos I wanted to include.  Now, I can DRAG the photos, but they do not DROP.  So, I have to go through the export process.  It is tedious.  What am I missing?  Where can I turn on the drag and drop feature for Photos?

    YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
    You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
    As I sid above:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

  • Why can I drag and drop from Photos to Pages, but not to Microsoft Word 2011

    I'm unable, under OS X 10.10.3, to drag and drop pictures from Photo into Word for Mac 2011.  I can paste from Photos into Pages.  How can I add Word to the list of programs that can take pasted photos pasted from Photos

    Drag and Drop support is done programmatically as part of the application design. There is no user settable configuration, or list of programs that you can add Word too. Apple has supported drag and drop in Pages for a long time, and from iPhoto or Aperture picture libraries. Microsoft chose another path.
    I don't have Office for Mac 2011, but I can state that Word 15.8.1 in Office for Mac 2015 Preview does not accept drag/drop of images from Photos either. It compensates by offering Insert ▸ Pictures ▸ Photo Browser… and when selected, displays an image panel not unlike Pages offers when clicking images from its Toolbar. At the top of this Word Preview panel is the Photos logo. It is from this Photos browser panel, that Word Preview accepts drag/drop of images. It may be that way in Word in Office for Mac 2011 too.

  • Drag and drop in album?

    When I'm going through an event in order to pick photos for an album, I like to see the photos in full view (not thumbnails). But then I can't drag and drop from the full view to the album folder. And if I go down to drag and drop the corresponding photo in the thumbnail bar below, the darn thumbnail bar gets magnified, and I have to move my cursor once again to get the right photo. Is there a better way to do this??? Can I at least make that thumbnail bar stop magnifying itself?
    Julie

    One way would be to view the photos in what ever mode you need in order make your selection and then either flag the photo (Command+period) or add a keyword to it via the Keyword pane (Command+k).
    Then create a smart album whose criteria is Keyword is XXXXXX or Photo is Flagged. When you've completed your selection open the Smart album, select all of the photos and drag them to the Album area at the left to create a new, regular album. Then remove the flag or keyword from the photos to clear the smart album.
    If you go the Flagged route and don't have any other flagged photos in the library you won't need a smart album because there's already one in the Recent area to the left titled Flagged. You can use it.

  • Images from my i-pad, stored in i-photo, will randomly refuse a drag and drop attempt. I can move the image to the desktop, and from there to the document (mail etc.) and it will work (display image). As I mentioned, these events are random. ....Help !

    When executing a drag and drop from i-photo to a document, occasional, random, images will refuse  drop onto the document. The work around is to drag the offending image to the desk top, and from there to the document.
    Question:  What is causing these random "rebel" images to misbehave ?

    It is better to use export or to use the media browser form the target program

  • Hotkey to play the video / fullscreen / drag and drop

    1) When i try to play the video, its just zooming in and out. And i read the hotkeys help - it didn't  found any about that.
    2) How to fullscreen the video? There is no way to hide left side bar, that is ridiculous.
    3) How to drag and drop video or photos to Skype / Safari / iMovie, something else?
    That is first time when i use VLC to make a library, just because Photos app look like broken.

    Thanks a lot for that! Managed to get it to work finally.
    Sorry for the late response, I've only just decided to get back to doing the work.

  • Cannot move photos via drag and drop (library grid view)

    I've seen several adobe tutorials and youtube videos that show moving photos or folders by drag and drop in the library grid view.  I cannot get it to work.
    Steps:
    1. Mousedown on a photo (not the frame) in the grid
    2. Drag the mouse to a folder in the "Folder" pane (left of the grid)
    3. Mouseup on the destination folder
    Results:
    Nothing happens.  The mouse cursor doesn't change from the arrow.  There is no indication I can drag and drop.  The photos are not moved.
    The photos are stored on a NAS.  Of course I can move them around via Windows Explorer, but I want to do this from inside LR4 for obvious reasons.  From LR4, I can create new folders, but I still cannot move photos into those folders.  I also tried creating a new folder on a local drive.  Again, I was able to create the folders, but was not able to move any photos into the folder.
    What else can I do to toubleshoot this issue?

    I created a new catalog.  Imported a folder on my C drive, created a subfolder, and successfully moved photos into the subfolder.
    I tried the same steps in my original catalog and now I can move all photos (including those on my NAS).  I've been at this for 3 hours.  I have no clue why it is working now, but I guess I'm happy.  Now, it shows the stack of photos when I try to drag and drop.
    I even reverted to my original preferences file (that I backed up before deleting) and I'm still able to move the files.  Really strange.

  • IWeb Podcast - Drag and Drop Audio and Picture Files

    I have been using iWeb the last few days to create a web site that includes some podcasts. I currently have three podcasts as a part of the site. I have been able to get two of the podcasts to work correctly but the third one, no matter how many times I recreate it seems to be where the difficulty lies.
    The podcast page gives me the opportunity to drag and drop an audio file and a picture file onto the page. As best I can tell, when I drop the audio file onto the page, things seem to be fine. When I drop the picture file onto the object, the audio clip seems to disappear. I have tried dropping the picture file first with basically the same results.
    A couple of more things. I created the original podcast file in GB3. I have found I can't import the podcasting file directly form GB because I end up with a very large file (>60GB) for the audio portion. So, I share the audio file to disk as an M4a file. When I add the audio to the podcast page in iWeb, I drag the audio file from Finder onto the object. The picture I have dropped onto the podcast page both from the Media Browser and from Finder. The results are the same.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Dave

    I think you're asking the question in the wrong forum. From what you posted, there's nothing wrong with GB, you should post in the iWeb forum where you're more likely to get useful and accurate answers about, well, iWeb.

  • Drag and Drop fails with JDK 7u6 in Linux

    Hi,
    I'm face with a strange bug on JavaFX 2.2 (JDK 7u6, Ubuntu 12); I implemented drag & drop feature of labels in a stage; first time, I open the stage, the drag & drop works well; when I close the stage and reopen it, it fails : I can drag the label but I cannot drop it on the target (the target events are not fired); I can reproduce the bug easily with the class below, you have just to instantiate the class TestDragAndDrop in an application class.
    On window 7, it works well, I cannot reproduce the bug.

    DUUUUUUUDE! IT'S WORKING NOW!!!!
    When you originally asked, "What happens if you click on an image and move it to another folder?", I didn't really understand what you were talking about because I almost never have my workspace set up in a way that the folders are showing. I always hide them. So I didn't really understand what you were saying. Just a few minutes ago, I realized that that is what you were asking so I opened up the folder area and tried dragging thumbs into different folders and saw that it does work.
    So then, because of you mentioning that blue line and me know that I did see the blue line on occasion. I went back over into the thumbnails to find out if I always got the blue line or if it was a hit or miss thing. I couldn't believe my eyes when all of the sudden I saw that I no longer was getting that circle with the line through it, and low and behold, the thumbnail dropped right into position like it is supposed to!!!!
    The thing is, I don't know what I've learned from this. I thought, "well, what is different?" The only thing that I can think of is that I now have the folders showing in my workspace so I wondered if that was the secret but I just now hid the folders again like I usually do and the drag and drop into position is STILL WORKING!!!
    All I can figure is that somehow, dragging and dropping a thumbnail into a folder like that for the first time, triggered something so that I can now drag and drop among the thumbnail positions? Not sure. All I know is that for some reason, IT'S WORKING NOW!
    Now, for the second important part, I wonder if I drag and drop everything into the order that I want and then select all of the files and drag them into a new folder, will they stay in that order? I need to go experiment with that.
    If you hadn't kept at it and in turn had me keep trying stuff, it would have never happened because I had pretty much given up.
    Thanks Curt!
    You da man!!!
