Drag and drop file from desktop screen to SD card in slot on macbook pro

Hi i am trying to put a file from my Macbook Pros desktop and drag over to my SD card which is inserted in the side of the mac, this is a firmware update for my digital camera which needs to go onto the SD card and inserted into the camera. I can start to drag the file but as soon as it nears the open folder of my sd card the cursor changes to like a greyed out no entry sign and will not drop, the card is fat-32 if that helps. Sandisk Extreme pro 32gb class 10.

The card reader is apparently stuck in write-locked mode. I don't generally advise do-it-yourself hardware repair, but one ASC poster managed to fix this problem. I haven't tried the fix myself and I can't offer any guidance beyond what's in that discussion. If you cause damage, don't expect your warranty to cover it. I suggest you instead make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Drag and drop files from outside of DW into DW Files Window

When I was using Dreamweaver CS for Windows, I could drag and
drop files from my desktop directly into the Files Window of
Dreamweaver. But I can't do that in the Macintosh version. Am I
doing something wrong, or is it not supported?

No. This is not supported.

I want to have two folders of Finder so that I can easily drag and drop files from one folder to another

I have been trying to reorganize my files. When in Manila I created a folder called Manila 2015 in Documents. I have the Mother folder Files 2015 with several subfolders like Finances, Personal, Tax etc. I want to have two finder folders simultaneously so that I can drag and drop files from the Manila 2015 folder to the various subfolders in the mother folder Files 2015. I am not able to open two windows of Finder on the desktop.

I have since found out that a new finder window can be opened witht the short cut Command+N.
Thanks anyway.

HT2518 how do i or can i drag and drop files from one external drive to another ???HOW

how do i drag and drop files from one external drive to another, i cannt get both drives to open up. only one at a time.. i have alot to learn i know but that is where i am at the time...

You posted here so would assume you are also talking about running Windows.
Are the drives NTFS and use on Windows?
Are they Mac HFS formatted?
You likely will need NTFS for OS X in one case. to mount PC and use under Mac OS Lion
MacDrive to mount and WRITE to HFS drives under Windows

If I were to drag and drop files from an OSX 9 onto an external hard drive (1 TB), assuming there is still plenty of space left, will I be able to use this same external hard drive to back up my iMac (Mountain Lion)?

If I were to drag and drop files from an OSX 9 onto an external hard drive (1 TB), assuming there is still plenty of space left, will I be able to use this same external hard drive to back up my iMac (Mountain Lion)? And would it ask me if I want to initialize (thus erasing it) or eject the hard drive like the OSX 9 did?

I was trying to follow this thread because I was curious about the OS 9 installation - until I realized you have another thread going about the very same subject, albeit with a different subject line.
FWIW: it is best not to double post - things get far too confusing after a while.

Mac: can I drag and drop files from Finder into Files panel

I am relatively new to Mac so forgive me if this is obvious.
I just switched from Windows to Mac and now something I used to
know how to do in Windows I can't figure out how to do on Mac. In
Windows I used to open an Explorer window over Dreamweaver, select
some files, and drap and drop them into the Files panel in
Dreamweaver, and they would be sucked in.
Now on the Mac whenever I select the Finder window to select
files to drag and drop, the Dreamweaver panels disappear
completely, rather than just move beneath the Finder window. So
when I'm ready to drag and drop there's no Dreamweaver to drop
into. I see that if I put focus on Dreamweaver, then Finder won't
disappear, and I can click on Finder to begin a drag without
Dreamweaver disappearing but then it is unresponsive to a drop.
In short, I can't seem to drag and drop files from Finder
into Dreamweaver on the Mac. Am I missing something? I'm using
Dreamweaver CS3 on Leopard if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
Jan

I don't believe you can do this on the Mac platform. The only
other thing you could try is to use Spaces and have the Finder open
in one Space and then drag it over to Dreamweaver in another space.
Outside of that I can't think of how this would work.

Drag and Drop files from other places to universal apps(windows store)

Hi,
Is there a possiblity to drag and drop a file from windows desktop or from other windows store app to my application. I tried searching samples, but it says about dragging an image with in the solution.
The best example is drag and drop files into recycle bin. Is there a way possible for modern app(instead of recycle bin), or give an user similar experince as the same.
If not windows8/windows8.1,could we expect in windows 10.
I believe if it is not possible with XAML/c#, the same holds good for HTML5/JS
Thanks & Regards Tejaswi Chandrapatla

Drag and Drop file FROM Java app TO native desktop

I'm a litte new to Drag and Drop. After a few days of looking around I've been through enough examples to copy and paste some skeleton code and get it working in my own application.
What I haven't gotten any answers to (after searching on google, newsgroups, and here) is if it's possible to drag something from a Java app to the desktop or file browser, and have java create a file there.
I know you can drag text to native apps, so I was wondering if you could make a Transferable object that's different than StringSelection(), like a file stream or something.
Thanks,
Tristan

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?

Drag and drop file to desktop bug

I have a new fusion drive 27" iMac with Thunderbolt Cinema Display.
When I drag a file, like an attachment from mail, onto the desktop it does not drop the file where the cursor indicates it will.
The same thing when dragging from the download folder or a finder window.
The file is randomly paced on the main iMac desktop in no particluar order, and you can't precisely drop a file where you want.
File can be dropped behind open windows, making them hard to find.
If the Thunderbolt display is unplugged, the issue goes away and drag and drop is precise.
This used to happen on my old iMac aswell, but i put it down to a bug with my system, however, it also happened out-of-the-box on the new fusion iMac before I installed any software or files, as I was specifically testing this - it's very annoying and disruptive to workflow.
Something with OSX doesn't like the external monitor when it comes to drag and drop to desktop.

Drag and drop files from Outlook move mails to delete box

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to develop a feature to be able to drag one or several mails from Outlook to my Java application.
As Java doesn't recognize a drop of an Outlook mail, in my program, I assume that if it's not a known file type, it is a mail. (I know it's quite straightforward).
When one or several mails are dropped I use a function from a plugin to get detail from the Outlook mails to import them into my application. In fact it import the data from the current selected mails in Outlook. This function is working perfectly when I use it without drag and drop (from a button 'Import' in the application).
My problem is that when I use drag and drop, mails are imported correctly but sometimes (not always) they are also moved in the delete box of Outlook. I have done several tests to try to figure out what is the cause. I have used several versions of Outlook, I have dropped 1 mail and several mails a the same time, etc...
Here are my tests results: it deletes the mails randomly but it seems to delete more often when my Java application isn't in full screen.
What could be the cause?
Another question: is it possible to configure my drop area to do copies only and not move? When you drag and drop you have a small symbol next to your mouse arrow. It is a '+' inside a square for copy and an empty square for move. My drag and drop does move by default. I could maybe avoid my deletion problem by changing it to copy?!
Cheers.
Edited by: Foobrother on Apr 16, 2009 2:46 AM

I think I have fixed it. I still have to make more tests, but it doesn't delete the mails any more for the moment.
In fact, when dropped item is detected as a file I do dtde.acceptDrop(DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY);But if it's not, I just set a variable to say that it is an Outlook mail.
So I have added the line dtde.rejectDrop(); to cancel the drop. And now it seems to work.
Apparently, I didn't clean some stuff when doing an email drop and it still wanted to move the mail or something?!
Anyway, thanks for the help

Drag and Drop file from a jsp to local machine

Hello All,
We have got a user requirement where, currently we have an attachment section in our JSP, where users are provided with the file download links,
as the user clicks those links the file download pop appears.
But now they ask for a drag and drop functionality, so that the link icon which they see on the JSP, if they drag it to there local machine, the file is downloaded
to the machine. Am not sure if it can be done from a web page. Any ideas if at all this is feasible. Or any direction where i can look through.
Thanks,

But the other way around of dragging file which is on server, to the local machine...even if i have applet.. not sure how will that work.Neither am I. Just check the documentation / forums associated with the UI framework in question. This forum is for JSP/JSTL only. I can only tell how to embed an applet or webstart app in JSP, but nothing more than that.
Any ideas around Activex stuff if any ?Terribly bad idea. It's a MS proprietary technology and it would work in only one certain webbrowser developed by the same company, so you would exclude about 40% of the world wide web population from using the functionality. Just use the standard technologies.

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

Can't drag and drop files onto desktop any more

I have always been able to drag/drop files and images onto the desktop from within the body of an email message or a web browser window. Now it won't let me do that any more and I have no idea what has changed. The cursor "holding" the image never changes into a + to allow for adding the file to the desktop. Instead, the file "bounces" back into the email body or the browser window. My only option is to do a right-click and "Save as" or click the "Save as" button in the email window.
Thank you!
Hanna

Relaunch Finder and restart Mac OS X. See if this helps.
