Hi guys, Having a problem with emoji. I have the emoji on my dock which I found a shortcut on Cult of the Mac. I click on the emoji and drag it to my email or whatever, and it will not drop into place. There is a blue square. Other shortcuts don't work.

Hi Guys,
Having problem with emoji, I have the character palette shortcut on my dock which I found through article from Cult of the Mac. I click on the emoticon and drag it to my email or whatever and get a blue box - no emoji. I tried the keyboard shortcut - doesn't work. I tried the drop down the menu in edit - doesn't work either. I am running Lion and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Want to fix this before I upgrade or should I just upgrade and hope for the best?  Been all over the net looking for solution.
Thanks for your help,
blueheron11

Pages does not support the Apple font used for color emoji, so that behavior is normal.
With what app are you reading the yahoo mail?  There is really no guarantee than any other email service will show the special Apple font involved.
You should have no problem putting emoji directly into Mail or Text edit via drag drop from the Character Viewer as shown below.
You should also be able to upload graphics here easily by clicking on the camera icon.  My email is tom at bluesky dot org.

  • I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens.

    I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens. 
    I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
    I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
    I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
    230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
    I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
    My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
    My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available.  It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
    I have never had this problem before.  It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
    I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.  
    Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
    I really appreciate it.

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • TS1368 My iPad will not download app updates or new apps, however all other Internet connections do work, I can connect and browse apps just not download

    I can browse the iTunes store, get on the Internet ,etc, but it will not download apps or updates for my apps. I get a message that it cannot connect to the store

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your Apple ID in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it works.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, go to Settings > General > Date & Time and change the date to a few months in the future and then re-try.

  • Hey guys, having a problem with my itunes. Basically it wont open when prompted and it wont respond to anything including my iphone. ive tried reinstalling but no luck. Really desperate! ive tried so many methods to get it working with no luck :( help!

    Please help!

    Whew... never buy an iMac or Laptop from Apple without the 3 year extended AppleCare... well 2 years extended... & I think they should be called on this, they should come with a 5 year Warranty, with more available if you want.
    I think, "hmm... should it take this long?"
    No way, Houston, we haave a problem, not sure what... RAM, Logic Board, etcd.
    Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

  • HELP! My images will not drop into a pages!

    Hello,
    I am writing a large paper with many images.  There are probably around 15-20 images already in the paper, with text, but when I tried to drop in another picture it did not show up.  I could click 'edit' and it would say 'undo drop' but there was not image to 'undo'.  What should I do?

  • I would like to use a video my grandson posted on FaceBook in my iMovie. I saved it to my desktop, but it will not drop into iPhoto. The format is video.php.html.

    what you downloaded is no video (just some link to an 'internal website hosting the video'...
    it's a bit tricky, to pry a video from FB's dead cold hands...:
    click on the video for playback in your web-browser. (no need to run the full video)
    replace the "https://www.facebook.com/…"
    by "m.facebook.com/…"
    the same site appears in a diff. 'look'…
    right-click/ctrl-click on video, select 'download to'.......

    I am having a problem with getting notified when I receive a call or a text.

    Hi BigBroMAC,
    The first thing I would check is Do Not Disturb mode, as this will cause that behavior:
    iOS 6: Using Do Not Disturb
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5463
    If that isn't the issue, this article has slightly different symptoms but the troubleshooting would be the same:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    Before you do step 10, however, I recommend resetting all settings to see if that helps.  To do that, choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
    I hope this helps!

    Is anyone having a problem with iPhone 5 not backing up to iCloud. No problem at first now it says it will take 35 hrs, etc to back up.

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • HT201177 I am having some problems with downloading, possibly settings are incorrect, esp. flashplayer upgrade will not install - i have iMac 8.1 osx v10.5.8 - processor: 3.06 ghz intel core2 duo mem: 2 gb 800 mhz ddr2 sdram

    I am having some problems with downloading, possibly settings are incorrect, esp. flashplayer upgrade will not install - i have iMac 8.1 osx v10.5.8 - processor: 3.06 ghz intel core2 duo mem: 2 gb 800 mhz ddr2 sdram - i am considering making an appt with Apple store nearby since we have a few in vicinity but thought i would give the online support a try.

    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

    I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
    I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged. 
    I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
    The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
    If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

    I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

    Hi David-
    The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:
