Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • 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.

  • I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.

    I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.  I will post my computer's 'specs' below.  I installed Lion, from Snow Leopard, through the App store.  The first week, it worked like a dream, and was loving my brand new computer, or so it seemed.  I then began to run into problems, and I can't confirm this 100%, but I believe it was after I updated from 10.7.1, to 10.7.2. 
    The freezes are sporatic at best, and cannot be narrowed down to one app.  I googled the issue about two weeks ago, and found a fix involving a temporary log-in, verifying the disk, restarting the computer holding CMD+R, and repairing the disk from there.  That fixed the problem.  For about three or four days.  From there I brought my laptop to Best Buy, where I purchased the computer (start the groans, my dad wanted the accidental damage, and he was paying, there was no argument).  My warranty there was still good, but all they were offering was to check my hard-drive, and possibly ship it out.  That would not be good for me, as I am a High School student, who works online. 
    So I then decided to go to the Apple store, see what they said.  They said a bunch of people had this problem, it would cost a lot to fix, as I would need a new Logic Board.  This did not make any sense to me, as I knew it was Lion's fault, so why would they not make the L-2009MBP Logic Board compatible, and why are only a few people having this problem, well a lot more than a few, but I mean not everyone. 
    So I asked a friend about it, and we decided to run a back up, and erase the computer, and re-install Lion.  Figuring maybe my data was corrupted during install.  This helped for a day or two, and happened again.  So this time, we backed up only files (music, pics, documents, etc.,) and did a fresh install.  I got my computer back last night.  Now, I am not saying that didn't help.  Previously I would have frozen about 18 times well writing this, but I have not frozen once (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself).  I have gone from about one freeze every 10-15 minutes (sometimes worse), to about one every 1-3 hours.  Which, let's be honest is still a lot. 
    So, before I just decide to go and revert to Snow Leopard on my merry way, I ask, do any of you have any other ideas?  Or guarenteed fixes?  I know a guarentee is a hard thing to ask for, but I am desperate, my teachers are getting angry with me for not sending work, and I know this would help a lot of people.  Thank you to those who read through my whole spiel, and thank you to those who will help me!
    [Ps, while I am somewhat of a noob, I know my way around a computer, so any help, or knowledge you could bestow upon me is awesome.  Especially DIY fixes.  (if your only advice is, don't buy a mac at Best Buy, don't bother commenting)]
    Macbook Pro
    15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009
    Processor:  2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Graphics:  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Software:  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)

    Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

  • Drag and Drop in Main in OSX Yosemite 10.2 stops working

    Hi,
    I have a number of email accounts in OSX Mail, and after waking from sleep (I think) I find that drag and drop for messages and attachments in Exchange accounts stops working.  It doesn't even initiate the drag and drop.  What also frustrating is the move mail functionality will then fail saying it was unable to move the mail.
    Once I restart mail its fine.
    I do have parallels running in the background too.
    Any thoughts?
    James.

    Iam including the same way in all other jsps of my application , they are all working fine expect for this jsp which has ajax components (rich faces drag m drop support components ) .
    From the error I deduce that the view component is being generated twice , why is this so???
    I would appreciate if some one coulkd guide me through this .... I hope I was able to explain my issu properly , please let me know if it is now clear

    I've tinkered a bit with DnD before in the past. Actually, it's all related to the topic of Data Transfer. You have to provide a source and destination for the transferrable, and your transferrable object must provide the "data flavors" that it supports.
    In theory it doesn't sound too hard, and it works reasonably well within a java application, but to be honest your time might be better spent simply implementing cut n' paste, which is easier. Cut n' paste doesn't require all the fancy UI work, but does the job reasonably well.
    There's a DnD spec available on the documentation web-site, if you haven't already found it. I also discovered that the O'Reilly book (I think it's the AWT book, not the swing one) has a good chapter on data transfer that you might want to read.

  • Drag and drop acting strangely after 10.8.5 upgrade

    Just yesterday I upgraded to 10.8.5 form 10.8.4 so I could use my new iPhone 5c with iTunes (got message I had to upgrade)>
    Since then I have had trouble dragging and dropping files into folders, folders into folders.
    E.g., when dragging a .jpeg out of a folder from my user profile in finder to my desktop the .jpeg doesn't stay where I drop it but goes into the far upper left corner of the screen, half off the screen.
    When draging a file to a folder on my desktop, after dropping, it doesn't go into the folder but pops back to where it was. Other times it will drop into the folder but then instantly opens the folder in a Finder window.
    I repaired disc permissions and restarted, still have problems and it's getting annoying.
    Appreciate any help.

    Tried installing the 10.8.5 Combo, repaired permissions before and after, still have the same problem.
    I wanted to copy a folder of jpegs from my home folder to a flashdrive, every time I dropped it on the flashdrive icon it just popped back to the home folder. Finally I had to hold it on the flashdrive icon for about 4-5 seconds at which point the flashdrive opened it's own window and let me drop it there.
    I noticed that immediately after repair disk permissions, I did it again and all the same permissions had to be fixed again, all in iTunes. Something amiss....

  • Win 7 Drag and Drop stopped working after iTunes update

    I really hope that this is the right sub-forum for this.
    Here goes:
    A few days ago I finally upgraded to 9.1.1.12 and today I was in for a nasty surprise: I can't move MP3s from windows explorer into the iTunes window any more.
    I often create playlists and then drag files I get from a few bands I follow directly into those playlists. This is an easy and painless process. My FTP client downloads the files into a prearranged folder whenever they get a new song up, and I then open said folder and drag and drop the file into iTunes.
    I just got a new song to listen to today, wanted to drag it in an... Nothing. Just the black, crossed-through circle of "No".
    It worked last week. It worked the week before. It worked the years before.
    I got Win7 64 in April. It worked on it since then.
    It stopped working today.
    And no, I won't let iTunes consolidate or organize my media. It only organizes files bought via the iTunes store, nothing I rip from CDs or obtain otherwise, as those files have to be playable by two other players as well. But, again: Until this night it worked without a problem. And after the new update... Stopped.
    Is there a new option I'm missing?

    I was able to fix it.
    I simply stopped running iTunes in Admin mode. For some reason, running it in administrator mode makes it behave "worse" than not doing so.
    When I ran it as a normal program, I was able to drag files into it correctly again.
    Which is weird, as the last version was also running in admin mode, but worked perfectly.

  • Can't drag and drop from iTunes after using Ion USB/ EZ Converter

    I am new to transferring old vinyl to mp3, and want to make a CD.
    I have the tracks in iTunes now- they play perfectly well, but I cannot drag them onto my desktop (to then transfer to Toast).
    Before the tracks were reading as wav, but now they are mp3, however, I did use the "Create mp3 version" feature, so have I confused my Mac, but "re-mp3ing" my tracks?
    Thanks.

    Release the mouse when you see the symbol with the line through it; you should then be given the option to authenticate in the dialog which appears. If so, choose this option and provide an administrator password when prompted. If not or if the option doesn't work, move the files to another location inside your home folder.

  • Drag and Drop for Tree in a Table

    I have placed a tree in a table using the example provided in an article "Creating TreeTables in Swing" in java.sun.com. But , instead of using the FileSystem data with which the example was explained , i have passed my own data...Then i created a panel wherein i placed two of these tables with buttons in between.
    The buttons are meant for data transfer....The problem is if i implement Drag and Drop support for the TreeTable the Tree embedded in the Table doesn't expand and collapsing properly....
    Can there be any reason that if a tree is placed in a Jtable and the drag and drop is enabled using setDragEnabled(true) will it effect the normal behaviour

    You can implement DropTargetListener, DragSourceListener, DragGestureListener like the following:
    public class MyTree extends JTree
                implements DropTargetListener, DragSourceListener, DragGestureListener {
        public void dragEnter (DropTargetDragEvent event) {
            event.acceptDrag (DnDConstants.ACTION_MOVE);
        public void dragExit (DropTargetEvent event) {
            //System.out.println( "dragExit");
        public void dragOver (DropTargetDragEvent event) {
        public void drop (DropTargetDropEvent event) {
            // place your code for action after drop
        public void dropActionChanged ( DropTargetDragEvent event ) {
        public void dragGestureRecognized( DragGestureEvent event) {
        public void dragDropEnd (DragSourceDropEvent event) {  
        public void dragEnter (DragSourceDragEvent event) {
            //System.out.println( " dragEnter");
        public void dragExit (DragSourceEvent event) {
            //System.out.println( "dragExit");
        public void dragOver (DragSourceDragEvent event) {
            //System.out.println( "dragExit");
        public void dropActionChanged ( DragSourceDragEvent event) {
            //System.out.println( "dropActionChanged");
    }Hope this can help.

  • Drag and drop problem On Mac OS

    Hi guys,
    I have a java applet code running well on windows and Linux.it consists of dragging files from a JFileChooser and dropping them to a JTable.
    But the drag and drop feature doesn't work on Mac OS platforms.I don't get any errors log .simply files don't get dropped to JTable.
    In my code i simply use a TableTransferHandler registered on JTable and then setDragEnabled() for JFileChooser.
    What can i do to make my code run correctly on Mac OS ?
    thanks for helping

    For those interested, I got drag and drop working on the Mac. I got some help on the Apple-Dev forums, but basically, if you want to do your own drag and drop on the Mac OSX, you must have your transfer handler support StringFlavor. If it doesn't, it will not work.

  • Problem with Drag and Drop on a JTree

    I would like to have a JTree with drag and drop support with the following characteristics:
    1) The JTree holds near 100 different kinds of TreeNodes
    2) The drag and drop operation uses TreeNodes as Transferable
    3) The drop operation adds a new TreeNode child on the TreeNode that accepts the drop
    4) There are some rules for a TreeNode to accept the drops by example:
         Type1 can accept Type2
         Type2 can accept Type3
         All other combinations are not allowed
    I am using the following classes to support this behavior
    JTree
    DataFlavor
    DragSourceListener
    DropTarget
    DropTargeListener
    DragSource
    GestureListener
    Transferable
    The question is:
    How to change the cursor shape when the mouse is over a node to show graphically the drop accepting rules.?
    I can not use the the following methods to change the cursor-shape
    DropTargetListener.dragEnter
    And
    DropTargetListener.dragOver
    Case they receive a DropTargetDragEvent witch don�t knows nothing about the TreeNode type dragged.
    I can not create a TreeNode on the method GestureListener.dragGestureRecognized cause this could not work when dragging between two diffents JVM.

    Hello,
    You might want to search this forum for this class : DNDTree.java. It pretty much does the job.

  • Dragging and Dropping from Explorer

    I'm interested in getting some very simple resources on how to do drag and drop support from windows explorer/whatever in a Swing application.
    (I realize DnD is in awt, but I figured here is still a good place)

    Please don't RTFM me, I'm smart enough to research those documents on my own. If I'm here it's because they haven't helped or I haven't been able to find that one "magic tutorial" that says it all.
    Your link doesn't help at all.
    I'd like to have some simple resources on getting drag and drop working with EXPLORER (or any native file manager).
    Not between java applications, and I need the document to be simple. At best, someone might have the kindness to just outline the objects and the required actions to extract a filename from something dragged onto an application from a file manager.
    Maybe even a sample! Who knows?
