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"
http://www.caminova.net/en/downloads/download.aspx?id=1
and, ..
"Flash Player" (.. for Mac OS 10.4 - 10.5)
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Have tried, either "uninstalling", .. or "trashing" these.
(Uninstalled, "Flash Played" - with specific "Uninstalled" app.. / "Trashed" "DjVu Browser Plug-in".)
Any help, certainly appreciated.

When I drag and drop a wav file into garage band it is rejected. How to imposrt a wav file?

Hi Everyone,
I want to edit a voice recording, done in WMA format, in Garage Band.
I saw a video in which the fie is simply draged and dropped in the timeline area, and the time line appears. Then youcan edit it.
But when I drag and drop this WMA file into the editing area, it jumps back out to where I dragged it from.
Is there any way to import WMA files intoGarage Band?
Thank you, Giorafromny

not directly, you'll need to use some software to convert it to a format supported by GB:

I can't drag and drop iTunes music files into Roxio Jam 6 anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the " " or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? G5 Dual 2 Ghz and OS 10.4.11

Hi. I have not used Roxio Jam for quite a long time and I just wanted to make a few CDs. Jam used to work easily and well. I have a problem. I can't drag and drop iTunes music files anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the "+" or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? I trashed the preferences file and restarted Jam to no avail. I also have selected that Jam should open files with iTunes in the Jam preferences. I have a G5 DP 2Ghz PPC machine with OS 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 and Quicktime's version is 7.6.4. I have 2 GB of RAM and the machine has dual 1.25 Ghz. processors plus a 500 GB HD. Can anybody give me any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

I found an solution.
Uninstalling AirParrot as well as the two offending AirParrotDriver.kext and APExtFramebuffer.kext files in System>Library>Extensions was the fix. All problems disappeared.

Drag and drop of html-files into Firefox 3.0.1 no longer works after going from XP to Win7

I use firefox portable 3.0.1 on an external disk.
Used to have a portable PC with XP SP2, now have a new Windows7 Professional machine.
On the XP machine I was able to open Firefox from the USB disk and drag&drop html-files into its window to open them. Suddenly on Windows7 this no longer works?? Any ideas/fixes?
Note: I do have to start the portable Firefox in XP SP2 compatibility mode, after which it seems to work fine (apart from this issue thus far)
A lot of configuration went in this Firefox portable install, so it would be nice to get this to work with a quick fix instead of having to start from scratch with a newer version.

Best settings for exporting and dropping a MOV file into iDVD7?

I have a movie (originally shot in HD), made in iMovieHD6, and that I'd like to export and drop into iDVD7. *What settings would the brain trust recommend?* I cannot seem to get iDVD to render a good version through direct export from iMovie. (As a side, I wonder if it is because I started this process by bringing AVCHD files from my camera into iMovie8 and "going backwards" to iMovieHD6.)

I have used Pro-res from Final Cut Pro into iDVD and it works.
*This is from iDVD help menu:*
Video and image formats that work with iDVD
You can use these movie and graphic formats in iDVD:
◼
Most video or image files supported by QuickTime (see the list of unsupported QuickTime formats below)
◼
16:9 widescreen formats
◼
AAC, MP3, and AIFF audio files
◼
Any format from iMovie: DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD
High definition video is converted to work with the format of your project. iDVD supports using 16:9 widescreen video; therefore, when your DVD plays on a DVD player that supports widescreen format, the footage appears in its original aspect ratio.
The following video and image formats are not supported in iDVD:
◼
Copyrighted or protected videos.
◼
Movies saved in thousands of colors using the “none” compression setting in iMovie.
◼
48-bit color images (16 bits per color). To use source files in one of these formats in iDVD, save them in a supported format.
◼
Aurora uncompressed files. For best results, export Aurora clips as DV-format video before importing them into iDVD.
◼
QuickTime VR, MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, Flash, streaming or encrypted movies, or QuickTime spanned movies. You can’t add MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files to an iDVD project because they don’t contain standard video tracks.
◼
QuickTime Fast Start movies. (Fast Start movies are intended for Internet playback.) When saving a QuickTime movie for use with iDVD, click the Options button in the QuickTime Export dialog and make sure that the “Prepare for Internet Streaming” checkbox is not selected.

How can I drag and drop a Tidal job into another group?

How can I drag and drop a Tidal job into another group? In Tidal Help, it says-
In the Jobs pane, press and hold the Ctrl key and at the same time right-click and either individually select individual jobs within a job group or drag your mouse cursor over a block of jobs that you wish to select. You can only move multiple jobs between job groups if the jobs being moved are on the same level.
Keeping the right mouse button depressed, drag the cursor to the job group that you wish to move the jobs to and release the mouse button.
When moving jobs from one job group to another, you must decide if the moved jobs keep their original job group attributes or assume the calendar and agent characteristics of its new job group.
A confirmation dialog, offers three inheritance options for the jobs moved to the "new" job group parent. Select one of the following options:
However, when I attempt to follow those instructions, it doesn't work at all and there is no indication that it's even trying (i.e., I don't see the selected job following my cursor at all and all I get is the normal menu when you right click anywhere on the screen.)
Is there another way to do this or is there a master setting that needs to be changed so that ability is enabled?
Thanks.

Go into edit mode for the job group group and just manually edit the section for Parent job/Group.
Cheers

New JNDI name created for each drag and drop of database table into table

Hi All,
I'm using Netbeans 5.5 with Visual Web Pack with Mysql as backend. Whenever I drag and drop a database table into table component it creates new JNDI (data source) name for each table. I want to use single JNDI name for all tables. If I change the JNDI name to default name then the design disappears and shows error . Is there any option to set the JNDI name unique for all tables?
Thanks in advance.

Hi again,
Well I've tried using the MouseListener / MouseMotionListener approach but it doesn't quite seem to work, although it does get the events correctly. I think the reason is that it doesn't interact correctly with the Java DnD machinery which is something that V.V hinted at. It's something that I may need to look into if / when I have more time available.
I have to say though that I haven't had any problems with scrollbars - we're making fairly heavy use of large tables and if you drag over a table with a scroll bar and move to the top or bottom then it scrolls as you would expect and allows you to drop the data where you like. For this situation I've used pretty much the same approach as for the toy example above except that I've implemented separate source and destination TransferHandlers (the source table is read-only, and it really doesn't make sense to allow people to drag from the destination table so I've essentially split the functionality of the example handler down the middle).
I'm not actually particularly in favour of messing too much with the mechanics of DnD, more because of lack of time than anything else. Guess I'll just have to put up with this for the moment. Doesn't help that DnD is so poorly documented by Sun.
Thanks for all your help.

I use to drag and drop an web address into a link toolbar, can't seem to figure out how to do this...?

I just upgraded to Windows 7 and with it I got the latest Firefox. There is nothing like learning 2 things at one time. On my old XP and 3.? all I have to do was drag and drop a web address into a link toolbar. Saving all my frequent visited or just sights I want quick access to, to a toolbar quick button. I have been playing with this for days and decided to try this Forum. I did find the Bookmark toolbar, but cant seem to figure out what is if for or if you can drop into it. When I right click it and Customize, it shows me add on buttons, but nothing to do with web addresses or alike...
Bottom line; I want to be able to drag and drop a web address into a toolbar for recall latter and be able to edit the address with a right click at a latter date in necessary...
Thanks, Mike

You can drag and drop the favicon also known as the [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Site+Identity+Button site identity button], at the left hand edge of the location bar onto a toolbar to bookmark the site.

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.

Help, I can not drag and drop address book contacts into numbers.

i have read the manual. watched videos on youtube, but I can not drag and drop address book contacts into numbers or pages. I upgraded to Numbers 09. set up the fields as stipulated, but when I drag a contact to the numbers canvas it just bounces back to address book. I tried reinstalling 09 thinking it was a faulty install. no luck. Have tried dragging to balnk part of canvas, to the table, and to a table with fields, no luck.
Thank you.

Could be a preferences setting. See Jerry's post in this thread.

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.

Really stupid that you can't drag and drop photos from Finder into Events

There is no way in iPhoto to do what I want and need to to, to wit, drag and drop photos from the Finder into existing iPhoto Events.
It really doesn't make sense that you can't do this. First of all, calling these groups Events to begin with is not smart; in my case, a group of photos in a folder on the Finder is rarely all from one photo session or so-called "event"--- instead of Events they should just be called Groups or something, and you should be able to drop individual photos into them. I have thousands of family photos that were accumulated on my hard drives over the years, some scanned in from film negatives, slides, or prints, others from digital cameras, and when I have changed Macs and hard drives over the years, every time a folder of photos was moved from an old hard drive to a new one, or regrouped into various folders, the photos seem to have acquired new dates of origin, etc.
Anyway, what I mean is, if Events are all time based, then somebody like me who has thousands of photos with all sorts of dates of origin, mostly unrelated to the date that the photo was actually shot, is screwed. I have old photos with new dates of origin and other mismatches between photos and the dates when they were actually shot or scanned.
My gripe is, again, that when I find photos on my hard drives that belong in certain iPhoto Events that have already been created, I cannot just drag these photos from the Finder and drop them into the Events they belong in. Instead, the stupid program creates a new Event from each photo I try to drop into an existing Event. That means I have to chase these new photos all over the place inside of iPhoto, trying to figure out where each new photo (now called an "Event") has ended up, so that I can drag and merge it into the Event I wanted it to go into in the first place. A real pain in the neck. It simply takes too long to do this for each photo added.
What this means is that iPhoto is not going to be a practical way to organize for a person like me until Apple makes it possible to simply drop any photo from the Finder into an existing Event. There should be an option to allow that. I'm really surprised there is not one. <edited out by Hosts>
Tom

Tom, iPhoto will not overwrite photos with the same name. I have plenty of photos with the same name in the same event. Each photo most likely has an internal handler that manages the photo, and not just the name of the file.
I agree with you that this is sub-optimal, and (IMO) I think what happened is iPhoto 6 had rolls, and they came up with a really cool interface for mousing over those rolls, and decided it was more consumer friendly (and because film is a thing of the past) to call them events, rather than rolls. I think it was worth a shot, but they just slightly missed.
Right now in iPhoto08, any serious organization is done in folders and albums. Personally, I think they need to combine the two concepts -- the great "mouse over" view of events with the organization abilities of folders and albums. I'd like an albums view where I can mouse over the albums. Actually, Aperture 2's interface for organization is more functional than iPhoto, so I am hoping some of that benefit creeps into the next iPhoto release.
What I do is: I use events for high level grouping (like Winter 2007) and I organize folders and albums to break that down further ("trip to Montreal" "Christmas" etc.). But I do it backwards. I fill albums first, then I organize events.
When I drag in pictures to iPhoto, first I make the target album in iPhoto that I want to populate, then I drag the photo directly to that album (not to events). iPhoto automatically puts the photo into the album I created and also into a new event. Later, I go into events, right-click on this new event to "open event in separate window" then I move around the events view, to drop in the pictures from the "import" event I just created. If I move all the pictures into other events, iPhoto automatically deletes the event I just emptied. You could skip the event organization all together if you wanted to, but you'd lose the cool mouse-over feature, which can be handy.
One nice thing about having events AND albums is you can have the photo just once in iPhoto, in an event, but then have the photo appear in as many albums as you want (as well as projects and web galleries) all while only having one photo on your hard drive. So, there are benefits to events, but I think iPhoto is missing just a couple little bits of organizational ability to make it perfect. (and yes, I've submitted this all to Apple as feature requests)
Just in case you don't know -- events don't have any hierarchy. That is, you can't nest events. But you can have folders with subfolders, and any folder can contain albums. Albums cannot have sub-albums, and folders don't hold photos. Only albums hold photos, and folders (or sub-folders) hold albums. Try create some folders and albums and you'll get the hang of it. One other issue that Apple needs to address. When you create a new folder or album, it doesn't put it right where you want it, but rather puts it at the bottom of the list, so you have to drag it up to where you want it. Try it out, and you'll see what I mean, then submit it as a feature request to improve that.
I agree it's not perfect, but it's not too bad once you get used to it. And the benefits of working with the rest of the features of iPhoto is worth it. I'm just really hoping they do a few tweaks on the next release. They are near greatness here. They could just use a little nudge on the last bits. (in my opinion of course. Others may disagree, but I've talked to enough people who have the same issues you are having to know we are not alone on this).

Can I drag and drop entire hard drive into and external hard drive?

I want to back up my MacBook Pro before I send it in for optical drive replacement. However, the Time Machine back up app wants me to erase my external drive and reformat before it can back up my files. I already have information from other computers on the external drive, so erasing and restoring is out of the question.
Can I just drag and drop my hard drives (Macintosh HD and BOOTCAMP) into the external hard drive?
Will that transfer everything?
As a side note, can anyone tell me why Time Machine doesn't work with the external drive? My dad has files on it from his Mac and I have a couple movies saved on it from this one. Is it possible to maybe partition the external drive to accommodate both and reformat only one partition without losing the other saved files?

Hi
+"So does reformatting make the external hard drive only usable by Macs/Time Machine?"+
Not really. If the external drive is formatted as FAT32 you can read/write to that drive from any Mac as well as any PC. If the external drive is formatted as NTFS you can only read from it but you can read/write from any PC. You can write to an NTFS formatted volume if you use a 3rd-Party Utility such as MacFuse. If the drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended you can read/write to it from any Mac. Unless you install a 3rd-Party Utility (I don't know of any offhand) you won't be able to read/write to it from any PC. PCs don't know what a Mac OS Extended format is.
As already mentioned TimeMachine will not work with any other format other than Mac OS Extended.
+"Will I be able to use the same external hard drive to back up multiple Mac computers with Time Machine?"+
Yes but only if that external drive has been formatted as Mac OS Extended. If there is existing data on that drive that you don't want to lose back it up first.
+"Will I still be able to drag and drop movies into the external hard drive for basic storage?"+
If you leave the external drive exactly as it is - ie no formatting - and you have already drag/dropped files to it from your mac or any other mac then you will be able to continue to do this.
