E-mail address "overlay" with "drag & drop"

The following errors occurs doing a "drag & drop" from the Address Book or using the "Contacts Sidebar". Unless you "drop" at the end of the line, sometimes it "drops" exactly where the cursor was (because sometimes I see a red cursor and sometimes I don't so have no idea of exactly where it will place it) "overlaying" the e-mail addresses on the line (but sometimes, it put each one of the e-mail addresses on a new line). Either append them to the end of the line or on separate new lines or don't allow the "drop" but please don't "overlay" ("insert" between) whatever is already there!
Also, when I tested "dropping" multiple e-mail addresses from the Address Book, a comma was NOT inserted between the multiple e-mail addresses thus making the entire line of e-mail addresses "invalid". And, it suffers from the identical "overlay" problem described above.
If you have any difficulty understanding the problem, I will gladly provide you anything you need. Just ask.

It appears that the add buttons always copies each E-mail address to a new line so it does not suffer from the lack of comma separators or "overlaying" existing E-mail addresses.
However, that doesn't eliminate the two defects unless Thunderbird disables the "drag & drop" of E-mail addresses which are popular on other E-mail clients. In fact, that is how I noticed the problem: assisting someone with migrating to Thunderbird from another obsolete E-mail client. He is extremely reluctant to giveup his old way of doing things which was "drag & drop" from the Address Book but I am trying to get him to change.

  • For FaceTime, can you add an additional e-mail that is not your Apple ID e-mail?  Everytime I try to do this on my iPad it sends me a verification e-mail saying I am trying to change the e-mail address associated with my apple ID and wants me to verify.

    I am trying to add another e-mail address to FaceTime, but do not want to change the e-mail address associated with my Apple ID.  Everytime I try to add the e-mail address in my FaceTime settings, it send me a verification e-mail asking me to verify that I want to change to this new e-mail address for my apple ID.  I do not.  I just want to have an additional e-mail address for people to contact me via FaceTime. Does anyone know how to do this?

    You can have multiple addresses associated with your apple id. You will have to verify any changes before they can be added and this is done by sending you an email. This is to protect you from someone else makeing changes to your account.

    I no longer have the e-mail address associated with an Apple ID.  I do not know the password for that account, nor are the security questions correct (e.g. it asked my birth date, but, when I listed it, I was told it was not correct).  I have no way to get into the program, to correct an information.  How do I delete this account and start anew?

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • How do I change my @icloud e-mail address associated with my apple ID

    My apple ID is not an @icloud address (it is @yahoo.com).  Curretnly I have an @icloud e-mail address associated with this account.  If I log onto icloud.com with my @yahoo Aplle ID,  it will show the emails that I have received from my current @icloud e-mail address. 
    How do I:
    1) create a new @icloud e-mial address and
    2) replace the old @icloud with the new @icloud
    3) forward e-mails from the old address to the new one and then, evetually delete the old one. 

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) Once you have created an alias you need take no further action to receive emails to it; messages to either the primary address or the alias will turn up in the inbox, and you can choose which you use as the 'From' address when you reply.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

  • How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

    How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

    gjortega,
    Your sidekick may be relaying through a different server. If its on AT&T, it could be using cwmx.com for outgoing. However, cwmx.com only works for AT&T/Cingular EDGE customers. When on Wi-fi it won't allow you to send through it.
    Many internet providers, but not all, provide an authenticating SMTP server to use when travelling. If you configured your outgoing server to use the email providers authenticating SMTP server information on a port different from port 25, you will be able to use it on most networks. Some wireless networks filter a wider range of ports, such as some work places.
    This article discusses the issue in more detail:

  • Strange problem with drag&drop!!

    hello i hope u can help me.
    i have a strange problem but not like the other users with drag&drop in Leopard..
    mine is not exactly like this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1198982&tstart=3538
    i can hold left click and move files but when i need to "drop" them at the .app's window the app rejects the file back! (some of the applications not all!)
    what i mean in examples is:
    i cannot drag&drop anything in the VLC's player window but i can inside the vlc's "controller" window
    i cannot drag&drop a picture in preview
    i cannot drag&drop any file in photoshop's new file/empty canvas
    i cannot drag&drop a mp3 file in itunes but i can drag&drop a full album folder(only in playlist,not in the player window)!
    and i can describe more to show u that it's not about vlc or preview or PS problem, but finder's/leopard problem.
    (i thought in the 1st, that it's vlc's problem and i downloaded a lot of versions!)
    all the other programs works well, for example i can drag&drop a video to final cut or motion
    i can do the same in iMovie (at the space it says"drag&drop media here etc)
    and of course i can drag&drop files to desctop,hard disks etc.
    i can copy/paste text etc (i can copy/paste texti can copy/paste texti can copy/paste texti can copy/paste text)
    i am trying to give you an idea, suggest me what else should i try in order to focus where exactly the problem is!
    i hope u give me a solution cause drag&drop is usefull!
    thank you
    in order to help u, i will describe what i tried so far:
    1)repair permissions
    2)trash com.apple.finder
    3)terminal solution like this: (didn't worked)
    sudo su -
    cd /
    rmdir tmp +*(rmdir: tmp: No such file or directory)*+
    ln -s tmp /private/tmp

    One thing at a time. Occam's razor.
    and why u believe this is normal?
    i am sure that VLC can drag & drop subtitles or the movie in the player window.
    and when i say sure, i mean 100%
    I disagree. I have tried this since reading your post, on all my VLC versions. It does not work.
    You can, however drop a movie onto the VLC icon in the dock. That works fine.
    RealPlayer accepts a file dropped on it. I just checked it.
    Not all apps accept a file on their output window. Usually only the input window.
    i started my windows bootcamp partition before and i saw this works.
    and i remember trying VLC in tiger a lot of years before, this was ok.
    and yes of course it would be also normal to drop a picture in the photoshop canvas.
    so what is not normal here is my problem, if u can help i'm happy if you cannot please don't confuse it more
    (sorry if i sound "unclear", english is not my 1st languange)
    I will check VLC next time I run Tiger and let you know.

  • Import swf file with drag & drop action

    Hello!
    I created a flash animation with drag & drop.
    I imported the swf into Captivate 3, but when I publish the
    project, the animation don't work.
    Can you suggest me some workaround to understand the problem?
    Best regards

    Hi kpurple and welcome to our community
    When you published the project, did you ensure to copy all
    the associated files? Normally the added .SWF files exist as
    external files that need to exist in the same folder as your
    Captivate files.

  • Mail & Address Book with Exchange = Problems Problems Problems

    Hi All,
    There is a serious issue with Mail/Address Book in Lion with Exchange Server 2010. I have had nothing but grief since upgrading and I have been able to recreate my scenario on two macs using two different profiles so I know it's not related to any settings or anything. None of these problems appear in Outlook 2011.
    Basically, to sum up the massive list of problems:
    The connection to Exchange drops all the time. I have to use to function "Take my accounts online" about 60-70 times per day.
    Trying to send new e-mail often results in a pop-up box indicating that the server isn't available to send (with the options to Try Again With Selected Server or Try Later)
    GAL look up for names takes forever. Sometimes the GAL will come up right away, but often times, there's the spinning progress indicator that can take upwards of 1-3 minutes to find the name in the GAL. Same in Address Book, spinning indicator trying to retrieve the GAL.
    When sending e-mails, Mail seems to "duplicate" the last name of the person I'm sending the e-mail to if I've already sent them an e-mail in the past (even if I clear the previous recipients list). For example, "John Smith" would appear as "John Smith Smith"
    Trying to move messages often fails. I suspect this is due to issue #1 above.
    Like I mentioned, none of these problems occur in Outlook. Granted, I would much prefer to use Mail as the search functions are much faster and the program is snappier.
    Has anyone else experienced similar issues with Mail on Lion + Exchange 2010 servers? At this point I'm wondering if it's potentially a configuration issue with our exchange provider (and if so, what would it be?).
    Cheers,

    I'm having this same problem with syncing address book to exchange contacts. I know I have the correct exchange server specified because I have it in both Apple Mail and on my phone. Also, In the past i have been able to sync address book, but at some point that stopped working. Exchange is syncing perfectly ota to my phone, but I hate to go into OWA to add or change contacts.

  • How do I change the e-mail address associated with Facetime on my iPhone?

    On my iPhone, under Settings -> Facetime, if I switch this to "on", I am immediately prompted to provide a password assocaited to an old e-mail address. How do I change this e-mail address?
    My app store account is correct, and I don't think this old e-mail is lurking anywhere else on my phone.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply, but I did not see this space to enter a new e-mail as Facetime was set to "off" and every time I turned it on it wanted me to provide a passowrd for my old, non-existent AppleID.
    I just noticed, however, that if you just let it fail to log in with the old e-mail three times, THEN it give you a chance to provide a new e-mail via a new prompt "SIgn in with your Apple ID?", which worked.
    So lesson learned: let if fail first, then you can fix it,but not before it fails. :-/

  • Windows Storage Server 2008 - unzip with drag & drop from Windows 7 client fails

    Hello.
    As i asked this question in German and got no answer so i try it in English now.
    I have the following problem:
    We have a Windows SBS 2008, where we store our files. If somebody opens a ZIP-file on a network share from a Windows 7 Client (64 Bit) it is possible to drag & drop the content (multiple files) to a directory. So far everything works as expected.
    We now have an additional Windows Storage Server 2008 integrated in our domain (Buffalo Tera Station WS-QV8/R5), where we also store files. If somebody opens the same ZIP-file on a network share of this server from a Windows 7 Client and tries to drag &
    drop the content the following happens:
    1. only one file is extracted and to display the file a refresh of the explorer view is needed.
    2. when the drag & drop action is repeated a second file is extracted
    Not alle files are extracted and there is no error message or indication why this happens.
    The behaviour is reproducible from another Windows 7 Client (32 Bit).
    If we try to drag & drop the files from the ZIP-file on the Windows Storage Server network sahre to a directory on the SBS network share all files are extracted correctly.
    On the Windows Storage Server itself all files are extracted without problmems. Therefore it must be a problem with the combination of Windows Storage Server und Windows 7 Client accessing the files via network shares.
    Are there any ideas where this problem could be located? Has anybody the same phenomenon and maybe a solution for it?
    Thanks in advance

  • Issue with Drag/Drop of multiple rows from ListView

    I am working on a sample application with 2 list views i.e. players and team, and implement drop and drop such that players can be dropped from one list view to the other. Everything is working as expected when there is single selection model is enabled on the source list view. However, if I enabled Multiple selection model and drag 2 or more rows from source list view to target list view, seeing the following exception after the drop is completed.
    Exception:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Only serializable objects or ByteBuffer can be used as data with data format [subListPlayers]
      at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.QuantumClipboard.putContent(QuantumClipboard.java:513)
      at javafx.scene.input.Clipboard.setContent(Clipboard.java:230)
    1) What should be the DataFormat used in order to be able to drag and drop multiple rows? Looks like we do not have for Object type, so I have created the following one which does not solve the problem.
       private DataFormat dataFormat = new DataFormat("subListPlayers");
    2) I have made changes to support serialization on the data object which also does not seem to solve the issue. Tried by implementing Serializable interface as well as by implementing Externalize interface.

    Yeah, this is a pain. I filed https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-29082 a while back. Go ahead and vote for it if you are inclined...
    I think the issue in your case is that the observable list provided by MultipleSelectionModel.getSelectedItems() is not Serializable. So even if you make your Player class Serializable, the list itself isn't. The first thing I would try, I think, is to make Player implement Serializable and then pass in an ArrayList instead of the observable list. So you can do
    content.put(dataFormat, new ArrayList<Player>(playersListView.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItems()));
    and
    List<Player> player = (List<Player>) dragEvent.getDragboard().getContent(dataFormat);
    teamListView.getItems().addAll(player);
    If that doesn't work, a workaround is just to store the "dragged list" in a property:
    final ListProperty<Player> draggedPlayers = new SimpleListProperty<Player>();
    // Drag detected handler:
    content.putString("players");
    draggedPlayers.set(playersListView.getSelectionMode().getSelectedItems());
    // Drag dropped handler:
    if (dragboard.hasString() && dragboard.getString().equals("players")) {
         teamListView.getItems().addAll(draggedPlayers.get());
         draggedPlayers.set(null);
