Drag and Drop iPod Movies. Why Not?

You know, I have been wondering something for a very long time and I am amazed that I cannot find any threads anywhere by folks with the same thought process...
Why are there not commercially-available, pre-encoded, drag and drop files of movies and DVDs for iPod?
They make the PSP movies. Wouldnt this be a natural, with the sucess of the iPod and iTunes??
One goes to their neighborhood DVD retailer, buys an iPod-ready CD or DVD, takes it home and drag and drops the files into the iPod. Instead of wasting hours converting the DVD....
Food for thought during this commercially exploited holiday season....

This can happen if you don't have write access to the source folder, or if the source and destination are on different drives. Select the folder you're trying to move files from in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu; you can check and change the permissions in the Ownership & Permissions section.

How do I merge events on the new IPhoto. The old one was simply drag and drop, this one will not.

How do I merge events on the new IPhoto. The old one was simply drag and drop, this one will not.

There are no longer events in Photos. The new Photos for Mac is structuring the Photos Library automatically into Moments based on dates and locations. You cannot change the moments.
When Photos migrates an iPhoto Library, it will create album for each event in the iPhoto Library, as a substitute, but these album based "events" are a fake, because albums behave differently from events.
In iPhoto each photo could be only in one event, so you could move photos from one event to another. With albums, dragging a photo from an album to another album will simply add the photo to the other album as well.
You will have to remove the photo from the original album.

DRAG AND DROP, OR MOVE MAIL TO NEW SMART MAIL?

HI,
I DO NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DRAG AND DROP OR MOVE OLD MAIL INTO NEW SMART LOCATIONS?

Smart mailboxes are not storage locations. They are simply a kind of remembered search. You cannot put things in those mailboxes, they simply show anything found in other mailboxes that matches the criteria you defined.

How to change the effect of drag and drop from MOVE to COPY in alv tree.

Hi,
I am using a tool in which now the behaviour on drag and drop is MOVE. I want to change it to COPY.
But I do not know which parameter needs to be set and where.
please help.
Regards,
Smita.

Hi,
Thanks for quick reply.
The code goes on like this
METHOD set_dd_behavior.
DATA: l_copysrc(1) TYPE c,
        l_movesrc(1) TYPE c,
        l_droptarget(1) TYPE c.
Set the Drag and Drop Flavors.
CREATE OBJECT dd_behavior.
READ TABLE reg_functions WITH KEY name_function = 'COPY'
TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    l_copysrc = 'X' .
ENDIF.
READ TABLE reg_functions WITH KEY name_function = 'CUT'
TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    l_movesrc = 'X' .
ENDIF.
READ TABLE reg_functions WITH KEY name_function = 'PASTE'
TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    l_droptarget = 'X' .
ENDIF.
CALL METHOD dd_behavior->add
EXPORTING
flavor = 'MOVE'
dragsrc = l_movesrc
droptarget = l_droptarget
effect = cl_dragdrop=>move.
CALL METHOD dd_behavior->add
EXPORTING
flavor = 'COPY'
dragsrc = l_copysrc
droptarget = l_droptarget
effect = cl_dragdrop=>copy.
CALL METHOD dd_behavior->get_handle
IMPORTING handle = dd_behavior_handle.
ENDMETHOD.
Here what changes needs to be done.
As I see once COPY is added and next time MOVE is added.
I am able to check because I am not able to edit while debugging the value of effect.
Please suggest.
Warm regards,
Smita.

I recently attempted to save my Notes in Macmail by dragging and dropping them into the Notes folder. On my most recent sync all Notes were deleted. Is there a way to undo this?

Garret,
is your movie in your backup folder a Quicktime movie? Then probably only have the Quicktime wrapper in your backup folder, but not the referenced media in the file fork of the movie. If you see the full quality movie in iPhoto in QuickTime player, don't drag it from the browser to the Desktop, but use "File > Reveal in Finder > Original File" to show the movie in your iPhoto Library. Select the Movie when it is revealed and ctrl-click it to open it in Quicktime Player.
Export it from Quicktime Player with "Export to" and share it to iTunes. This way it will be converted to a .mp4 movie that embeds the missing resources.
You can drag the converted movie from iTunes to the Desktop or share it using to Media Browser to other applications.

Drag and drop mail to mailboxes not working

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro, when I attempt to drag and drop an e-mail message from my inbox to another mailbox (folder), has stopped working. I can still move mail to different mailboxes from the Toolbar / Message / Move to.
I'm using Apple Mail 6.0. I've looked, but do not see any functions in Mail Preferences or Mailbox functions that enables or disables this feature. Am I looking in the wrong place or missing something?
Thanks, Terry

It's actually much worst than that. THe MOVE command works only intermittently to move blocks of messages. This is true for both the MOVE button in the toolbar and for attempting tm move by using the control-click menu for a selected group of messages.
Mail 5.2 under Lion does not fail in this way. I am running two systems with the same collections of mail on each.
I moved back to Apple Mail because of the end-of-life status of TBird. TB has lots of bells and whistles that make for easy use and it has handled by 30K/6.5GB mail collection without difficulty. It also provides a lot of features that Mail does not have, including very helpful statistics during operations.
I looked at a variety of Mail replacements inculding all the commercial stuff. But nothing really dominates the marketplace andl the vendors seem frail. It's clear that the big money is in cloud-service e-mail handling, not apps to run on machines you own and control.
I imagined that Apple developed and maintained software would be more reliable and sustainable in the long run. It is distressing that the company's test and QA processes did not catch this but I suppose that Apple too is planning on letting Mail wither as their cloud service gains users and market share. Why sell an app once when you can charge a monthly fee for the service. It's perhaps cheeky to say but the cloud isn't a technological model it's a business model.

Drag and drop simple ".mov" files, into 2 dif. browsers, no longer working

-
Did something, that caused my main drag and drop, of simple ".mov" files, into 2 different browsers - "Safari", Version 3.0.4, and "Camino", Version 1.6.8, .. to stop working.
To be clear, this is regarding, just some simply ".mov" files which I have generated. (Individual hourly, weather images - like; in sequence. Generated, in / with, QuickTime - itself.)
At this point, where dropped from a folder, into "Camino", .. it routes these back to my main desktop. - (Before the problem, .. played them, in browser.)
"Safari", only brings up the folder that the main file is in — within a separate folder window.
(As with "Camino", played these in browser, previously.)
(Have gone into "preferences", either browser, .. and can't figure things from there.)
Problem occurred follow two different downloads / installations
"DjVu Browser Plug-in"

and, ..
"Flash Player" (.. for Mac OS 10.4 - 10.5)

Have tried, either "uninstalling", .. or "trashing" these.
(Uninstalled, "Flash Played" - with specific "Uninstalled" app.. / "Trashed" "DjVu Browser Plug-in".)
Any help, certainly appreciated.

Unable to drag and drop mp4 movies into itunes but the file will import and play using home sharing

Strange problem with my brothers MacBook.
The movie files were converted to mp4 format ready to be played on an iphone and I imported them into my iTunes on an iMac with no problems.
Files were also saved onto a flash drive which I passed on to my brother.
My brother was unable to import files by drag and drop and also by "add to library", we even copied and pasted files from the flash drive to the desktop but that also didn't work.
Using "home sharing the movies imported and played with no problems.
Any ideas why this is happening?

This appears to be a long-standing bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634720
and the accepted workaround is stated in comment 11.
Oddly, it's possible to do the reverse, i.e. drag multiple eml files from Explorer to a TB folder.

After upgrade to Yosemite, drag and drop for files does not work, destination folder crashes.

After upgrading to Yosemite, dragging and dropping files from one location to the destination folder, causes the destination folder crash. However, copying the file and then moving it works fine.
I'm not sure where to report bugs, but I figured this would be the best option

Having Problem Adding to drag and drop to move furniture over a floor plan

I have the code which follows. I need to create floor plans where web visitors can drag and drop furniture onto the floor plan. I have three items that work but when I convert any additional items to a symbol and select movie clip and then add more lines to the code, none will work.. How can the code determine that my movie clip I named "couch" is going to movie clip 4. Thank you if you can help, Frankie Foster
Below is my code:
var numObjects:uint = 3 // assign the total number of movieclips that will be dragged
for(var i:uint=1; i<=numObjects; i++){
     this["movieClip_"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickToDrag);
     this["movieClip_"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, releaseToDrop);
var selectedMC:MovieClip;
movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickToDrag);
movieClip_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickToDrag);
movieClip_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickToDrag);
movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, releaseToDrop);
movieClip_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, releaseToDrop);
movieClip_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, releaseToDrop);
function clickToDrag(event:MouseEvent):void
     selectedMC = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
     selectedMC.startDrag();
function releaseToDrop(event:MouseEvent):void
     event.currentTarget.stopDrag();
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, nextQuestion);
function nextQuestion(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
      //trace(event.keyCode);
      if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT)
           selectedMC.rotation += 5;
      if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT)
           selectedMC.rotation -= 5;

Your appear to have redundant coding assigning your listeners. What code are you trying to add/modify to make the couch function like the others?
this...
for(var i:uint=1; i<=numObjects; i++){
     this["movieClip_"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickToDrag);
     this["movieClip_"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, releaseToDrop);
currently does what this also does....
movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickToDrag);
movieClip_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickToDrag);
movieClip_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickToDrag);
movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, releaseToDrop);
movieClip_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, releaseToDrop);
movieClip_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, releaseToDrop);

Drag and drop - remember answers/do not reset

Hi there,
Does anyone know how I can stop the drag and drop from resetting when the user goes back through the course? I have tried changing the attempts options, the reset options and so on in the settings, but it always resets and does not remember the users answers!
Is this a bug? The drag and drop rarely does anything I want it to. It is so much easier in Articulate!
Thanks!

Hi,
If you want the dropped state to be remembered you need to include the Drag and drop interaction in Quiz.Also you can add some marks to the dnd interaction. If you do not want to add the marks to your total marks of your quiz(if you have any quiz in your course) check off the option "Add to total" option. There is an option for reporting the marks as well. Just check the "Include in quiz" option and let me know this addresses your issue.
You can find the"include in quiz " option under reporting accordian. Attaching screen shots for your reference(in both Cp7 and Cp8)

Drag and drop music in iTunes not working

Hi all,
I am having problems dragging and dropping music in iTunes from my media library to my iPhone music library. The only possible way to import music is to sync playlists (which I hate doing). Does anybody else have this problem?
Thanks!

You need to make sure that your settings allow you to manually manage music. I believe it is a check box on the main settings page for your iPhone.

NW2004s: 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN drag and drop: Navigation pane does not refresh

Hi together,
I am wondering what's up with the 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN in the WAD.
When I execute a query and use the drag and dorp functionality to make a drilldown of a free characteristic to a row, the navigation pane on the left side ist not updated. It still shows the characteristic in the tab for the free characteristics and not in the part for the rows. Even when I do this action via the contextmenu it does not work.
In the old 3.x template this update works fine (ok, obviously not with drag&drop
Any ideas?
Greetings

Drag and Drop a .mov into iMovie and, Why the wait?

Alright. This is getting very annoying. Every time I use iMovie, dragging my .movs into the application, I've got to wait about 12-15 minutes for it to "import" it. This is ridiculous. Since I've got 7 .movs to import, it's going to take me a couple hours "tonight" just to import them. Will have to do editing "some other day."
I'm I doing something wrong. What's with the waiting?

.mov is a container, no video codec. a mov can contain dozends of codecs, stills, music, aiff, mp3, aac, qtvr, video, h263, h264, sorenson1/2/3, mpeg1/2/4, divx ... etc.
iMHD6 is a DV-editor, meant to copy (=import lossless) from miniDV devices.. which use 'dv' as codec.
so, if your .mov contain anything else than dv+specific NTSC/PAL settings, the underlying Quicktime engines has to convert it.. a process of high computation = time.
plus, depending on your set-up, that process can take more or less time.. e.g. not enough disk-space 'brakes' the apps ...
