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.
Regards,
Barry

    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.

  • Can not drag and drop photos in Lightroom 4 map module

    In Lightroom4 map module, I can not drag and drop photos onto the map from the filmstrip? I select the photos, and then try and grabbing them to drop them on the map and when I click on one of the pictures to grab, it deselects the others I've selected and only hightlights the one photo,  ironically, I can not even drop the one photo onto the map.

    Thank you Victoria.  I thought I was grabbing it on the thumbnail, but I must not have been, I must have been as you said on the border.  Sorry. 
    Thank you again for the help.

  • Can not drag and drop or copy and paste

    It is as simmple as the title. I can not drag and drop icons or text or folders. Nothing. As for cut, copy, and paste they do not work either. I am trying to back up my files so I can do a clean install of snow leopard. I have leopard currently.

    So Copy/Paste, etc. isn't working in say Text Edit?
    On the Drag & Drop, where are you trying to drop them, & does the icon move but just not copy?

  • 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

  • Can NOT drag and drop to combine Events

    I've combined Events zillions of times in iPhoto and drag-'n-drop in Aperture 3 also. Today, when I tried to drag one Event into another, it didn't work. It didn't 'release' into the new event when I let go of the mouse button. I restarted iPhoto - same problem. Rebooted my MBP, same problem.
    Tried to drag and drop a new photo into my Photostream (from Aperture this time) and the same problem. I click to drag, move the event, and then it appears 'ghosted' and will not release.
    I even went into my Sys Prefs to see if it was my mouse, but that looked OK, and I could not replicate this problems in other applications.
    I'd love to know why it does this (did I inadvertently check something somewhere) but more importantly, how do I fix this?
    Oh yes - I got an error message the first few time about repairing iPhoto, which I let it do - took about 10 minutes, and I've never seen that before in iPhoto. (Aperture, yes, a LOT...)
    Oh yes - I can 'Merge Events' from the Menu - that works, but seems cumbersome and the drag-and-drop has worked fine until today...
    I am stumpped...
    Thanks!
    Greg

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • 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.

  • Mac: can I drag and drop files from Finder into Files panel

    I am relatively new to Mac so forgive me if this is obvious.
    I just switched from Windows to Mac and now something I used to
    know how to do in Windows I can't figure out how to do on Mac. In
    Windows I used to open an Explorer window over Dreamweaver, select
    some files, and drap and drop them into the Files panel in
    Dreamweaver, and they would be sucked in.
    Now on the Mac whenever I select the Finder window to select
    files to drag and drop, the Dreamweaver panels disappear
    completely, rather than just move beneath the Finder window. So
    when I'm ready to drag and drop there's no Dreamweaver to drop
    into. I see that if I put focus on Dreamweaver, then Finder won't
    disappear, and I can click on Finder to begin a drag without
    Dreamweaver disappearing but then it is unresponsive to a drop.
    In short, I can't seem to drag and drop files from Finder
    into Dreamweaver on the Mac. Am I missing something? I'm using
    Dreamweaver CS3 on Leopard if that makes any difference.
    Thanks,
    Jan

    I don't believe you can do this on the Mac platform. The only
    other thing you could try is to use Spaces and have the Finder open
    in one Space and then drag it over to Dreamweaver in another space.
    Outside of that I can't think of how this would work.

  • Can not drag and drop any songs into playlists or ipod.

    My iTunes is getting really frustrating. I can not put any of my music onto my ipod because iTunes simply won't let me drag and drop. It won't let me do it onto playlists either, and I don't want to sync my iPod to my iTunes library. I already checked the source files, and made sure that iTunes isn't 'Read Only' but it didn't work and I'm at a complete loss at what to do. Help would be greatly appreciated!
    Note: I'm a Windows user (stinky windows) and I have the latest version of iTunes. This hasn't happened before, and it was going on even before I updated my iTunes.

    Click in the header of the very first column before the track name.
    If any other column is selected, iTunes sorts on that column.

  • 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.
