Drag-Drop URL onto Desktop - goes to other monitor

Under SL, when I had Safari open on my 2nd monitor and I dragged a site's 'icon' (to the left of the URL in the address area) onto the Desktop, the URL/shortcut file stayed on the Desktop where I dropped it.
Now, under ML when I drag onto some place on the **2nd** monitor (where the Safari window is) the file of for the URL appears somewhere (apparently random) on the **main** desktop. Is there a way (other than dropping it into a FOLDER on the desktop) to get the dropped URL to stay where I put it?

Thanks for the reference. I didn't spot anything that seemed like it would have an item 'dropped' on the 2nd monitor's desktop go to the 1st display.
Here's a screenshot of my Desktop View option settings. Do you see something odd there?

Cannot create new folders on desktop. Cannot drag new items onto desktop. Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal. Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas. Thank you.

I can no longer create new folders on my desktop. The option to do that is now light gray on the drop down menu and can't be selected.
I cannot drag new items onto desktop any longer either.
The Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal.
Folders and items on Desktop open and work normally.
Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas.
Thank you.

Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or rebooting. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder or something else, such as Anything.
If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”). Quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder.
If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

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.

All of a sudden I can no longer drag/drop music onto my iPhone... What happened? :(

So at some point in the recent past itunes stopped letting me drag music to my iphone.. I don't want to bother syncing my whole library because I have too much music. Why is it making things so difficult all of a sudden? This is REALLY ******* me off.

roaminggnome is absolutely correct. A easier way of doing this is to click the "Music" tab when the device is connected to iTunes. Within this window, you will be able to select "Sync Music" and then below that select "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres." Following this, you will be able to pick and choose which music you want on the device.
Hope this helps.

Drag & Drop of a file not working in Ubuntu & other linux

Hi All,
I am working on a project,in which it has the requirement of dragging the files
from a JList present inside a JFrame to the desktop.
First I tried to get a solution using dnd API but could not. Then i googled and i got an application which is
working perfectly in both Windows and MAC Operating systems, after I made few minor changes to suit my requirements.
Below is the URL of that application:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1204580/swing-application-drag-drop-to-the-desktop-folder
The problem is the same application when I executed on Ubuntu, its not working at all. I tried all available options but could not trace out the exact reason.
Can anybody help me to overcome this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
With the information you provided and through some information found on google i coded an application. This application is able to do the drag and drop of an item from the Desktop to Java application on Linux Platform, but i am unble to do the viceversa by this application.
I am including the application and the URL of the information i got.

How do I always show a Firefox icon when dragging a URL shortcut to the desktop?

Win 7 Pro 64
When dragging a URL shortcut to the desktop, I sometimes get the websites favicon regardless if the site has a favicon or not.
How do I always show a Firefox icon when dragging a URL shortcut to the desktop?
Thank you

LIke many others, I had the same problem with v.26. I had a whole slew of URL shortcuts that the icons went to blank white squares. Here is what I did to fix: First I put them all in a folder to make sure there weren't any left on the desktop.
Next, I opened that folder, went to the first shortcut and double clicked it to open the web page. When it opened, I used the mouse to drag the URL onto the desktop creating a new shortcut. Again the white square icon resulted.
So I right clicked the shortcut, clicked on "Properties" and under the "Web Document" tab, clicked "Change Icon". A new pop-up window opens that attempts to find a new icon in the windows shell files.
I instead clicked "Browse" and inserted the directory path to the Firefox program file:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
SIX icons were shown, the top left being the familiar white square with the Firefox logo, which I selected, then clicked my way back out on the "OK" buttons.
NOW, I opened each URL link in the folder, and once opened in a new browser window, dragged the URL's to the desktop and NOW Firefox assigned each one the new correct icon automatically. Once done with all the shortcuts, I deleted the old ones from the folder and the folder itself. End of problem. Now when I save new shortcuts by dragging URL's to the desktop it saves them correctly.

Drag & drop to other programs won't work

Today i installed firefox 24. I tried to drag & drop a picture from google pictures to the program tag & rename. That didn't work.
Drag & drop to my desktop works ok.
Drag & drop from internet explorer to tag & rename works fine.
Till today i had a nightly firefox and there drag & drop works fine. But after the last update from the nightly firefox was a lot slower.
So i got back to firefox 24.
I have a 64 bit pc with windows 8.
I hope someone can help me
Ronald

I tried what you said and it is true that the image directly dragging out a white box, but I'll give you a solution to see if it works. Instead of dragging the image directly, first select "View Image", and once you open the image in the browser, drag image to the document. In this way I have not had any problems with the images and the websites I've tried.
You can download the latest version of Firefox from my site ''(link removed by moderator)''

R6034 error Photoshop CS2 drag & drop

I've had this problem for some time. I'm on Vista-64-SP2 running Photoshop-CS2 When first installed PS-CS2 worked fine. I got no errors when starting the program and I could drag & drop icons from the desktop or windows onto the Adobe taskbar icon and the photo would load normally.
Then I let Adobe automatically upgrade my CS2 and other Adobe products (Dreamweaver CS4, Illustrator CS2, GoLive6, Reader, Flash browser plug-in, etc.) and then I started getting a windows error message R6034 saying that "An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly." Microsoft says the fix is to recompile the application. Yeah right!
OK, so I delete Photoshop and other applications and reinstall them all and the problem goes away ... until I let Adobe automatically update the products and the problem comes back. Yes, I can probably live with an unupdated virgin version of Photoshop CS2 but there should be an answer from Adobe or at least someone else to validate that my complaint is not unique.
Another problem that may be related is that I've seemed to have lost the ability for Adobe GoLive6 to open Photoshop images for editing
Also I've lost the ability to drag & drop from the desktop or a window onto an open Photoshop application or onto its icon on the taskbar.
I've searched the web and find nothing similar. The solutions I have found were unrelated to my situation or were for a Macintosh. I've searched the forums here and find nothing that gives an answer.
I know pretty much what I'm doing around computers and I keep a clean system. Informed replies are most appreciated.

I don't think you will have much luck on that one. The problem here clearly is the way 32bit DLLs need to be piped on 64bit systems, which for some reason does not seem to work in your case, probably due to soem registry key being changed and then it messes up the wghole OLE/ DDE/ COM shebang. It may be further complicated by some dispaly routiner incompatibility. Since CS2 was never developed with Vista 64 in mind, you can't even exactly blame someone and this seems a common problem with an assortment of legacy apps, not just Adobe programs. What you could try is to download Sysinternals' Process Monitor, establish a filter rule specific to the updater and see, which registry keys it changes, which DLLs it replaces etc. this may then offer some clues as to which ones you need to salvage before the update and may possibly put back into place thereafter. May work, may not, but in any case you are doing it on your own responsibility....

Can't Drag & Drop Photos to Collections

I have searched the entire knowledge base for this and no luck.
I cannot select the desired photos (1 or more pics) I have in Grid View or the Slidebar, and drag+drop them onto either a Folder or an existing Collection.
When I left click over the photo and drag it, the pointer indicates I have successfully picked the group up, but when I hold it over the Collection or Folder, the pointer icon turns into the international "NO" symbol and wo't let me drop the photos into it.
I cannot find any other way to move a photo into the Collections.
I have this problem in Bridge as well, interestingly, which only lets me click on a file or sellected groug, then copy, then paste into the desired folder.
Please help.

Thanks but that hasn't worked.
I just get a "No" symbol while I hold the captured photo over anything in the Left Panel.
I can't seem to find a way to get Adobe to respond back to me about this. This prodct is a month old and this feature hasn't worked. I have not found on the Adobe website where it says you have X-amount of days of free product support but there must be. Their website seems to take you everywhere but where I need to go for the simple solution to this problem.

Urgent! Adobe killed drag/dropping workflow in CC. Help restore it!

I posted this first FR at the end of another thread, here. Due to the importance of this issue, IMO, I'm giving this FR a new thread, plus adding as second version of the same FR.
My stance is simple. Every change Adobe makes to Premiere Pro should be positive to most or all people. If a change Adobe makes is negative for most or all people, then it must be removed.
Adobe did a negative change in CC, which brings about zero positive improvements (unless proven otherwise which has not been done yet).
In CC, drag-dropping clips no longer = dropping what you're dragging! If you only have a video track source patched, audio doesn't get dragged to the Timeline. If you only have an audio track source patched, video doesn't get dragged to the Timeline.
This is contrary to the way it worked in CS6 (where it made sense): drag drop clip = same clip dropped, regardless of Timeline settings!
Please help fix this by sending the following FRs as your own or writing a FR of your own based on this new problem Adobe introduced in CC. Thank you and God bless all those that care enough about Premiere to take action!
VERSION 1 (revert back to CS6)
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Drag/Dropping video with audio clip from Source Monitor or Project window to Timeline should include both video and audio... always!
How would you like the feature to work?
The way it did in Premiere Pro CS6:
A. Video with audio dragged from Project window = video with audio dropped in Timeline
B. Three drag/dropping options from Source monitor, regardless of Source Patch settings. Drag/drop:
1. Source Monitor Image = Video + Audio
2. 'Drag Video Only' button = Video only
3. 'Drag Audio Only' button = Audio only
In CC, these options no longer work properly depending on Source Patching. This makes no sense, and provides zero benefits to the editor!
Why is this feature important to you?
Because intelligent workflows matter! There's nothing intelligent or efficient about the Source Monitor's buttons working some times but not others, or drag/dropping a clip from the Project window only to find its audio doesn't appear in the Timeline. When drag and dropping clips, Source Patching should determine default clip PLACEMENT, Not WHAT gets dragged to the Timeline!
VERSION 2 (give us a choice!)
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Preferences window option to disable Source Patching's effect on drag/dropped clips.
How would you like the feature to work?
If Adobe can't/won't revert drag/dropping back to functional CS6 standards, whereby clip dragged = same content dropped regardless of Timeline settings, then please give us the option of turning off CC's new drag/dropping behavior through a new check box option in the Preferences Window: "Source patching affects Drag/dropping".
Checked = CC behavior
Unchecked = CS6 behavior
Why is this feature important to you?
Because respecting workflows matters! CS6 and prior Premiere editors had their workflows disrespected when Adobe suddenly changed drag/dropping behavior with zero apparent benefits in return. Please give us a choice in this matter or revert to CS6's intelligent drag-dropping altogether.

I have added a display to my iMac and have it as an "extended desktop" - my Fidelity acct. stock charts won't go over to the other monitor however. Is it a Firefox issue?

I want to use a 2nd monitor to have my stock charts off by themselves - that way they're easier to read. My Fidelity ActiveTrader Pro web site lets me create many charts, but when I try to drag one of them over to the other monitor, I just see my pointer, no chart. The web site just creates a scroll bar and I have to put the chart next to the current one. Is this a Firefox issue and, if so, what do I need to do? Something in Preferences? I didn't see anything. Thanks

We've already done all of that. And we used the same thunderbolt cable to connect two iMac's and that worked totally fine doing the Command+ F2. I don't understand why we can't get the macbook to do the same.

How do i keep youtube video maximised, while i work on other monitor. (it minimalizes itself every time i click on the other monitor).

I like to learn things from youtube tutorials.. but the window there is small, so i want to maximise it on my old smaller monitor and work on my other. (like blender tutorials.. where i need to model on main monitor while i watch how to do it on smaller one)
Problem is, every time i click on my main monitor, maximised youtube video minimases.
So what do i do to stop this from happening?
Thank you for answering my guestion. :-)

From what I've seen I think the labels you use linux, either. The solution I think would be to open Firefox on the desktop, and let it open on that desktop on the monitor you want and then the other task in another desktop on the other monitor.
Hope that helps, greetings!!

Finder - Can't drag and drop files onto stacks on the desktop anymore.

Hi,
This might sound like a strange question but in the past I was able to select a group of files in a window and drag that group to the desktop where they would stack upon one another creating a neat stack of all the files in one place. Now when I do this they drag onto the desktop and remain spread out all over the place. It's not terribly difficult to deal with except if I'm dragging say, 30 photos onto the deskop. Before they appeared stacked upon one another and I could simply drag one off the stack one by one. I am however experincing harsh symptoms of OCD because I can't figure out why. My co-worker's Mac is the same as mine (both running 10.8.2) and his files stack just fine.
I've done a fresh install after having no luck and it's till doing it.
This is really bumming me out. Any suggestions are very welcome. I've even booted into safe mode and it still won't stack drag and dropped files onto the desktop.
Thanks for any advice,
-Jason

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

Can't drag and drop files onto Applications in Dock since upgrading to 10.6

Ever since my wife upgraded her iMac (2 GHz, 2 gigs) to 10.6, she can no longer drag and drop files onto certain applications in her dock to open the file. She has to go into the application and go to "open file" or whatever.
For example, if she has a Word doc on her desktop, she cannot drag it onto the Word icon in her dock.
Any advice?

You have many issues with your and your wife's machine(s). Everything you've posted works here. Reinstall Snow Leopard, repair permissions, and see if that fixes things.

Drag and Drop to the DeskTop

Hi,
I would like to be able to drag and drop a component from my Java application
and for this component to be shown on the desk top. The idea is to have monitor
components on the desktop which are always on top but small enough so that they
do not take up as much space as when the window containing these components
are open.
I have seen an example program that does just this, it is the ICQ client. With this program
you can create an ICQ user in the application. Dragging this user onto the desktop causes that
componenr to remain on the desktop on top of all apps even twhen the program is restarted.
Cool.
Anyone know how this can be acheived in Java or via Windows API using JNI.
Regards
Steve

Look in the Applications folder to see if iPhoto is still there. If it is drag it back to the Finder Sidebar. If it is no longer in the Applications folder post back, you can also look in the Trash it might still be there.
