Drag and drop feature not working after updating to iPhoto 6

I just purchased the new iMac with the dual core processor. I transfered files from my old iMac using firewire as prompted. But in iPhoto 6 I can't drag photos which prevents me from creating photo albums, books, etc.
I have read through the postings about this issue which say the problem is because of the helvetica font. However, I do have Helvetica in my system and have made sure Helvetica is used on all photos.
I don't know what to try next. Any other suggestions?

biggsbdavis:
Try disabling and then re-enabling the Helvetica font. Sometimes that's all it takes.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Why does the drag and drop feature not work?

    I have several files on my desktop.  When I try to move them o a new location, they just 'snap back' to their original position.  Why doesn't the drag and drop feature not function properly?

  • Drag and Drop feature not working

    I'm using a Mac Book Pro running OS X version 10.7.5 and I find that fairly often, when I click and drag something (anything) that the mouse will not drop or release the item, and the only way I can fix it is to force quit the program.  I have been into the system preferences and tried to adjust those features to no avail.  This has been accuring for almost a year now.  I find that it does this most often after a reboot.  For now, if I reboot, I cannot drag and drop anything for about an hour, then after that, the drag and drop feature seems to work just fine.  Help!
    Side info:  I am also using BootCamp with Windows 7, if that helps
    Thanks, looking forward to some good advise!

  • Drag and drop doesn't work after upgrading to Yosemite

    It is strange.  Since upgrading yesterday to Yosemite, my drag and drop does not working consistently.  I use drag and drop all of the time, into emails, moving files from one folder to another, moving music from finder to itunes, etc.  It seems each time I try to drag a file, initially the Finder window I am dragging from crashes and re-starts.  Once it re-starts, I actually am able to move a file as normal for about a minute or two.  After a minute or two, if I try to drag and drop a file, again it crashes and re-opens.
    Does anyone have any ideas?  I did submit a bug notice to Apple, but thought maybe someone would have a fix.

    I'm not sure if this experience relates to your issue but maybe..
    After upgrading my iMac to Yos, I could only select and copy files to relocate them. Frustrating for a couple of days. I eventually found that the setting on my trackpad was for three fingers over a selected file/folder window/etc moved the item to where I wanted. It had automatically changed to this preference. Its called a 'three finger drag'. The video shows a pane being moved but it also applies to all files etc. It can found in preferences/trackpad/point & click. Here you can turn it off if that is hat is causing the issue. Otherwise no software solutions I'm aware of. Good luck.

  • My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7... My ipad works perfectly and it's the same apple id.  Any answers or reasons why on the iPhone 5 is not working???

    My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7...
    Any answers on how to fix it?  I've tried to restart, restore connected to itunes, but nothing.

    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS.  Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:

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

    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.

    Try:

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    When iOS 6.1 comes out I would update.

  • Drag and drop photos not working

    With Aperture 3.5 you can no longer Drag a photo to another app, such as iMessage and drop the photo into that app.
    The target Apps do not see the Drag operation and therefore ignore it (don't show the + when ready to accept the dropped photo).
    Drage and Drop continues to work on earlier Aperture releases even if you update to Mavericks.

    And it works with iMessages.
    After enabling the previews in Aperture's preferences you need to generate them. The previews settings will only automatically create previews for new photos. To generate them for older images, use the command "Photos > Update Preview".
    How large are the images, that you try to drag? For very small images Aperture will not create previews at all, if the images have not been adjusted.

  • Illustrator extension - Drag and drop is not working on mac

    During testing my extension on Mac,I noticed that drag and drop doesn't work as expected. Therefore I have created a new simple extension with two lists.
    <s:List id="lst1" label="name" dragEnabled="true">
         <tree>
              <name>a</name>
              <name>b</name>
              <name>c</name>
         </tree>
    </s:List>
    <s:List id="lst2" dropEnabled="true" dragMoveEnabled="true"> </s:List>
    This will allow lst1 items to be dragged and drop in lst2.
    This sample works fine on Windows and on Mac as AIR app  but not working as extension on Illustrator( Not able to drag and drop between list on mac).
    Any help or workaround would be appreciated.

  • Safari for Mac, webpage with Java applet, drag and drop area not working.

    At my company, we have a web page that our users access to submit media files, (QuickTime, Audio, images...), for transcoding for delivery.  The web page consists of a java applet, with an area that our users drag and drop media file into.
    After updating to Safari 5.1.2, the applet will not work anymore. Instead, the browser will "open" the quicktime and play it, instead of allowing the Java Applet to do it's job.
    CAN I TURN THIS FUNCTIONALITY OFF??
    I read that Safari 5.1.2, (when it was initially released), broke something with the THEN current version of Java, and everyone was awaiting the latest update (build 1.6.0_29) to fix it. Unfortunately, this update did not fix my issue with the functionality of dragging and dropping media files into the web page.
    It seems to me, as if, there is an over-arching functionality setting (or something) that needs to be either turned off, or in some other way DE-prioritized.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Drag and drop does not work in Exported release build

    I am using the built in DragManager class to handle some drag and drop functionality in an application.  When running from flex builder, It runs exactly as expected, but when I export the project to a release build, Dragging only works in the vertical direction.  How is this possible?  What might be causing such strange behavior.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Sorry, I will try to be more clear.  I am using drag and drop simply to move items around on a Canvas.  This works perfectly when running from flex builder, but when i export a release build it starts behaving strangely.
    I can drag items up or down on the canvas no problem, but as soon as I try to drag items left or right, there is no response.  On a windows machine, it gives me the black circle with a slash through it icon, implying that the drag is not accepted.  On Mac, there is no icon, it simply will not drag. 
    Hope that clarifies it, I could really use some help figuring this issue out.
    Update:
    I can confirm that the call to DragManager.acceptDragDrop is being reached in both cases, but the DragEvent.DRAG_DROP event is not being handled in the release build, (it is reached when run from flex builder)

  • Drag and drop tabs not working

    Dragging and dropping tabs no longer works. I cannot drag a tab out to a new window or reorder the tabs. This used to work and is a very nice feature. Reordering bookmarks by dragging them around also appears to be broken.
    Disabling plugins or resetting Firefox did not help.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
