Drag and drop into subject line

I installed OS 10.4.5 and use Tiger mail. I noticed that unlike Panther mail, in Tiger mail draging text from the message to the subject box doesn't work. Sure you can copy and paste but in old mail, you drag and drop. It's absent in Tiger. You can drag to the other address windows even if it's text and not an Email address. I went back to Panther to make sure. Drag and drop still works. I tried repairing permissions with no change. Thanks.

Thanks for the confirmation. I’m surprised more Mac fans haven’t made a peep. Maybe the majority of users are new and they’re not used to drag and drop?
Another fine point in mail is that the space bar will only work once for deleting space or text. In Panther Mail, one could use the space bar an unlimited number of times to delete space or text but not in Tiger mail. I tried running repair permissions, also DiskWarrior without any change. Trying the same deleting sequence in TextEdit using the space bar proceeds normally. Maybe Apple dropped that feature thinking nobody would notice?

Why cant I drag and drop into playlists

I used to be able to drop and drag inrto playlists. Now I get a message which says press + button to add, but there seems no way of doing it. I'm using windows 7

Apple Support Communities updatesI’ve tried the control-I route and then tried to locate the file without success. What I get as a file location starts with //localhost/C:/Users. It may also be useful to know that most/all the missing files seem to have been copied from CDs. I can’t be sure if it’s all because the whole music file has nearly 9000 entries! The ones that still seem to work were copied from an external hard drive.

why cant I drag and drop into playlists
                                The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. (In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows if this might apply.)
                                Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
                                In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Although it says something like "use the same location" it expects to find the tracks in the same artist & album layout that it generates, not all in one big folder.
                                If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

Try holding down the Command key and dragging the file well off the sidebar.
Hope this helps.

Can't drag and drop into Folder

Greetings... i have been happily going along using iPhoto (6) on a fairly basic level making folders and dragging and dropping but suddenly its changed, i can now only drag and drop into albums.
I will create a folder but can't move anything into it.
This seemed to happen after iPhoto asked would i like things sorted to make it work better , i can't remember the exact wording,i clicked yes and at some point realised my folders had changed to albums into which i can drag and drop but use of folders is now denied.
I would like to know what is going on and why i can no longer do such a simple thing as move photos into a folder.
I have tried using different names for folders from the albums so there wouldn't be confusion but nothing has worked.

Thank you for this answer. I don't have an adequate explanation for why i couldn't remember how things operated on iPhoto. I had been using it successfully for some time but then didn't go into it for a few weeks and obviously had forgotten what i seemed to know earlier on. I created new folders and from there found it didn't work and was puzzled. Thought i had used folders before but i couldn't have or had overcome the problem by myself at that time.

Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new folder?

Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new layer folder instead of the bottom? It annoys me that they always go to the bottom and I inevitably always need them at the top.
Thanks

Hi there
ok so PS CS6 if I grab a layer in Group A (yes layer sets sorry) and drop it into Group B, itll put it under anything thats already in Group B, which annoys me! Is there a way of telling PS to default anything dragged from one group to another to default the newly added layers to the top

Premiere Pro CS3: Can't drag and drop into project window

I had been using PP CS3 with Windows 7 64-bit RC successfully for about half a year. Recently I did a clean install of the final, released version of Win 7, and now I cannot drag and drop into the project window.
I am sure I used to be able to do this. Having to import every clip, instead of just dragging it from Bridge (CS4), is a major headache. Ok, a minor one. But is there anything I can do to regain this capability?
Thanks,
Ken

Can I mark my own post as a "correct answer"?
I just discovered the problem isn't PP CS3 at all.
The problem is Bridge CS4. Or, more accurately, how I am running it.
In order to do drag and drop from Bridge, it needs to be executed in "Run as administrator" mode.
So, fantastic! There is an quick, easy solution that works.

Are there any events to script a component when dragged and dropped into the parsys area?

are there any events to script a component when dragged and dropped into the parsys area?

The cq:listeners node of a component's cq:EditConfig has a number of events that fire with relation to the edit mode drag'n'drop stuff. You would probably want to hook one or more of the insert ones (beforeinsert, beforechildinsert, afterinsert, afterchildinsert).

Can no longer drag and drop into my iPhone after iOS 7.0.3.

I'm not entirely sure what is up with this but it's excruciatingly frustrating.
I updated my iPhone 4S 64GB to iOS 7.0.3 the other day. When I plugged it into my car to play some music I noticed that most of the songs in my playlists showed up as being on the phone but they would be skipped over until the music app came to a song that was purchased in Itunes on the phone.
So, I plugged the phone into my PC thinking that it needed to be synced. I then noticed that all the songs on my phone have dotted grey circles beside them.
I deleted all the music off the phone and attempted to drag and drop files from my library back into the phone. As I already have 'Manage Music' checked, this normally resulted in the songs effortlessly being hurled through cyberspace or via a cord to my iPhone.
Now, however, all my songs that I attempt to place on my phone show up as greyed-out with Mr. Dotted Circle beside them.
What the gee-golly-willikers is this all about?

Have you checked the manually manage music box?

Why cant i drag and drop into my external

I am trying to understand why my external devices dont pop up on my desktop, and i cant drag and drop files into my external HD, how do i put a file into an external device?

To make it display on the desktop, Finder > Preferences > General tab > check external disks.
The drive might be formatted NTFS for Windows which is treated as read-only on the Mac. Need to reformat it using disk utility.

Can't drag and drop into Preview's sidebar

Most of the time that I try to drag and drop image into Preview's sidebar (OS10.5.2), it doesn't work -- no cursor, no nothin'. Strangely enough, I can open one or more of the very same images using "open" in the menu, but I can't drag them from one Preview sidebar to another or drag more images in. Even more strangely, some images (very few) DO work perfectly, and I can't find anything at all different about them -- same specs, permissions, etc. as the ones that don't work! The same images that won't work DO work in other programs, like Mail. Did permission repair, all 3rd party stuff turned off...
What else is there that I could check out?

I might be wrong, but ...
I know Microsoft Office 2011 is Mountain Lion compatible. In fact, Microsoft released updates to it right around the time of Mountain Lion's release to assure compatibility.
I do not believe Microsoft Office 2008 is Mountain Lion compatible.

Drag and drop into iTunes

I used to be able to drag and drop a mp3 file from mail directly to iTunes. Not anymore. How can i save these music files to iTunes now?
When I use the Lion save feature it takes so many more clicks and I'm not sure how to set up the folders so that it will be like the other folders in my itunes library.

The new iTunes update to 9.2 may be necessary for iPhone 4 to work but they missed a whole bunch of things. For example when I drag a track from my iTunes window to the desktop I used to see the file on the desktop with the artwork as the file's icon - now when I drag it the artwork is no longer included in the thumbnail nor when I hit the space bar to preview the track - something I used a lot when I do my job reviewing music - sometimes 200 track per week so it has ruined my process of working with music files in large quantites.
Also - I always found that iTunes never correctly embeds the text info for each track into CDs whenever I used the program to burn CDs. Often when I am DJing in a club the text info would not show on the CD player screen. I found that Toast would do this perfectly everytime regardless of what model CD player I was working with. So I would grab aplaylist from iTunes and drop it into the Toast window and simply hit burn. NOW in 9.2 I can no longer select an entire playlist and drag it to Toast. I have to drag all the files out of iTunes, into a folder then reassemble the playlist track by track in Toast - this takes 10 times longer or more.
APPLE by forcing these things upon us you are turning into MICROSOFT!!!!!!!!!!

Unable to drag and drop into trash when Numbers 09 is in use

I wonder whether anyone can help me with this. When I have a spreadsheet open in Numbers 09, I can't drag and drop anything into trash. However if I minimise the spreadsheet, the drag and drop works!! Can anyone enlighten me as to why this is? I am very new to the Mac and am still learning+
Thanks

Report sent !
*+Your tracking number for this issue is Bug ID# 6611461.+*
+May you check the behavior of Numbers '09 under mac Os X 10.5.6 ?+
+When used under macOsX 10.5.6, if we drag a file's icon above a Numbers window to drop it on the trash icon, the file is not trashed.+
+I was able to reproduce this odd behavior several times.+
+I must add that we may drag and drop to the trash without any problem when running under 10.4.11.+
+Numbers is the unique iWork's component with this odd behavior.+
+I don't know which is the culprit, Numbers or Finder but both of them are made in AppleLand.+
+Happily, we may use the good old 'cmd + delete' shortcut but,+
+an oddity is an oddity and it must be removed ;-)+
Now, wait and see.

Drag and Drop Labels with line interconnected

Dear all,
As before, I use java.awt.dnd objects and java.awt.datatransfer objects to help me to drag and drop some labels with right-click my mouse.
Now I would like to left-click my mouse to draw a line between the two labels by pressing the left-click on label 1 and drag and drop to label 2. Then I would like to see a now line created betwwen label 1 and 2. I have an idea to addMouseListener and addMouseMotionListener on the labels to get the position of the labels and draw a line with the position. But I found that both right-click and left-click can trigger this event. Can I give some restriction on that so only left-click can trigger this event.
Also I cannot do it successfully as I found that after I rewrite the paintComponent method, the older image cannot be cleared and make the screen become verbose. Do I missing something on rewrite the paintComponent method? Also do you have any other suggestion on the task of drawing a line between the 2 labels?
Thanks a lot!
Peter

Of course you can select only left click events :
You simply add a test like that in your Mouse(Motion)Listener's methods :
if (SwingUtilities.isLeftMouseButton(aMouseEvent)) {
I hope this helps,
Denis

Drag and Drop into Photoshop layer without resizing the source image

Hello,
I am using Photoshop CS5, 64bit, in Windows 7.
I went through following steps and getting result that I do not want:
1. Open an existing photopshop file.
2. From the explorer window of my folder, select 100 png files and drag into the graphics area of the open photoshop image.
Result: Photoshop resizes the png file and place it as a layer. It also asks me to commit the resizing for each individual file that I dragged and drop. Sometimes, it takes it as 100% scale, sometimes, 98%, sometimes 102%. If I change it to 100%, then it is not the original size. The image become larger and blurry.
Expected Result: Place 200 png files as separate layer of the open photopshop without resizing it.
My png files are icons that don't need resizing. I cannot tweak 200 images just to get this to the original dimension!
Other things I tried:
I turned off the "Preference->General->Resize Image During Place". I also turned off "Place or Drag Raster Images as Smart Objects".
I still get the same result. I need nothing smart here. Just let me place images without any smart stuff!
I also went to help and googled. I could not find what I need.
Thank you!

That works!!
Thank you!

How to show title of link that is drag and dropped into messages (like it was in iChat)

I recently updated from Lion to Mavericks and with that came the change from iChat to Messages. My problem that I have is that back when I had iChat I could just drag and drop links (example from Reddit) into the chat window and then the link would be shown with the link title from the website instead of just the address.
Is there a setting I can change to get this back? Right now I am having to hand type all the titles/descriptions and then provide the web address.

Hi,
I was thinking through how I have sent Links for web sites in ichat in the past and if I had changed now.
I have always Copied and Pasted the URL and had not tried Dragging the URL to iChat/Messages.
I have just tried from my Snow Leopard computer to my Mavericks one and I see the full URL at the snow Leopard end and the Mavericks end (using Bonjour)
However If i Drag a link from on a Page then that title to the link is what I see.
It also works from Mavericks to the Snow Leopard computer.
