Drop and drag photo to mail

I used to be able to drag and drop a photo from iPhoto to a Mail message.  Now when I do that I get a "Mail Attachment" balloon with a downward pointing arrow.  When I click on it a new window emerges, but nothing happens.  What am I doing wrong?  Have things changed?

Thanks for your help.  I had already done your second suggestion, which worked, but found it so much more cumbersome than just dragging and dropping.  Then I tried your first suggestion which worked perfectly. Now I just tried my original method (the one touted by Apple) and it was back to working. So, I don't understand the glitch, but your suggestion put me on the right track to solving the problem.
Thanks so much.

  • Drop and drag photos to a web page from iPhoto with IOSX

    I have a Macbook Pro 2009 model and have always been able to drop and drag photos from iPhoto or the desktop to Facebook pages or emails
    and since installing OS X Yosemite this feature no longer works.  I see from other discussions that air drop only works for models of Mackbook later than 2012.  Will there be a resolution for this issue for those of us with otherwise well functioning computers pre-2012?

    No - suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • Drop and drag attachments

    Is there a way to default mail to show attachments as icons when composing a message? I always get a full document preview when I drop and drag.

    Quit Mail, run Terminal and enter this command:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool true
    For something more flexible, check out the shareware Mail Attachments Iconizer.
    Regards.

  • The computer that I original used with my ipod touch is dead, so I am now synching and backing up to a new computer.  I had to restore the software to this ipod.  I can drop and drag my tunes back into the ipod, but not my apps.

    The computer that I originally used with my ipod touch is dead, so I am now synching with another computer.  I had to restore the software of the ipod, I am able to drop and drag my tunes back to the ipod but not my purchased apps.  I have no problem doing this with other ipods that I have synced and backed up to this computer.

  • This Nightly feedback, Steganos password Manager drop and drag functionality no longer works after last update.

    Cut and paste still works but the drop and drag so longer works.
    This for Nightly Beta 64 bit.

    I too have the problem: W7 64 bit. Drag and drop worked until yesterday when I "upgraded" to FF v 26.0 - I can no longer drag passwords etc from my password manager to website fields - a barred circle appears when I try to drag.
    I tried pressing ESC (one profferred solution) and also reset FF to no avail.
    This is more than annoying: some of my passwords are dozens of characters long and there's no way I can access sites by typing them in! I need a solution, even if it's reverting to a previous version.

  • Drop and drag object

    Hi everybody,
    I have a matter, I want to realise a
    VI who makes drop and drag of indicator like a gauge for example.
    For this I used an event structure to
    manage the drop and drag. But the probleme is that with this solution
    i must put the indicator in my program to set the properties node
    (visible or position).
    So the number of indicator that i can
    drop and drag depend of the number of indicator that i declare in my
    soft.
    I want to know if there is an other
    methode to do that.
    Please find attached a VI to show you
    my objectif.

  • Drop and drag songs

    Can anyone offer suggestions on what I can check in itunes that will allow me to drop and drag songs from one list/folder to another?
    Thanks

    You'll need to choose manual update from iPod preferences.

  • Why can't I click and drag photos anymore?

    Why can't I click and drag photos to the desktop to email?

    OK--Think I finally discovered the issue. I'm using a trackball and keyboard setup from Euphonix that communicates with the Mac via Ethernet and TCP/IP. Aperture cannot deal with mouse strokes transmitted this way. If I switch to a USB mouse connected directly to the Mac, the brushes work normally. Still a disappointment since the Euphonix is my default keyboard/mouse and I don't really want to keep a separate USB mouse hooked up.....

  • Why can't I drop and drag my thumbnails into my program?

  • I thought I was able to drop and drag

    I have the songs that I have loaded onto my Ipod shuffle all playing well but my issue is the way my playlist is looking.
    I thought I was able to drop and drag them around into whatever order I wanted once I had them all loaded. Now I am finding that what I thought is not the case at all. My friend is telling me that she IS able to still move them around the playlist.
    What am I not doing?
    Thanks

    That's what I thought as well, I was able to do it before updateing to the new Itunes.
    Well I guess my probem could be worst right
    Thanks for the post back ,

  • How do you add artwork in itunes 11.0.4.4?It was easy on previous versions by either drop and drag or right clicking the song and pasting the artwork in the box...Is there an easy solution?

    I recentlydownloaded Itunes version 11.0.4.4 and am having difficulty adding artwork to any new folders of music i add to my ipod classic.In prior versions you could either drop and drag or right click on the song,go to "get info" and paste and image into the artwork tab.Can't do either of these now.How do you add artwork in the latest version of Itunes?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had the same problem and i came up with a very simple solution that worked for me.
    Step 1 Look for the folder where your mp3 is stored. (example My Music Folder)
    Step 2 Right Click on the music file and select properties
    Step 3 On the General tab UNCHECK read only and click OK or Apply
    Step 4 Go to itunes and rightclick the music title
    Step 5 Select Get info and paste or drag your Album artwork at the Artwork Tab.
    Hope this helped.

  • When I use Home sharing, I can see the library I want to copy, but when I highlight the library, the import button does not show up. Also, it will not let me drop and drag. How do I get music from one computer to the other computer?

    When I use Home Sharing, I can see the library I want to copy under Shared, but I can't get it save on the computer under the regular library. I go to edit and "select all" but there is no import button that is in the right hand corner. Also, it will not let me click and drag the music. How do I get it from one computer to the other?

    Since both computers are connected via the network, you could simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another via the network.
    If both computers are running Windows, use the Easy File Transfer Utility built into Windows to move iTunes and all other user media/data.

  • Hi i have a macbook air and want to use an external hard drive but it wont let me drop and drag a folder in to iy

    Hi i have a macbook air that we have some photos on and i have an external hardrive that we used to use on our laptop, i have tried to drag and drop folders on to the external hardrdive and it wont let me or copy and paste???
    it just shows a circle with a diagonal line through it
    any help please?

    I suspect that the external HDD is not formatted that will allow the MBA write to it.  You will have to open Disk Utility>Erase and format it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Note that this will delete all data on the external HDD.
    Ciao.

  • How do I click and drag photos to folder with mouse to folder of my choice?. Simple but I can't do it. Goes to folder of ITS choice.

    I click on a photo in events and keeping the mouse button depressed I drag the photo to the folder of the left, but a new folder opens with the photo. It doesn't place the photo into the folder that I have already created. What am I doing wrong? I see the green plus sign and place it in the folder of my choice, but the new folder opens with the photo in it. Please help me here.

    Folders don't hold photos in iPhoto. Photos go in Events or Album.
    Folders can contain other folders or Albums.
