How do you drag'n'drop files from iP4s to Windows?

I don't have an iPhone.
But looking at whether it's worth it for my needs.
I often take photos on my Blackberry, then pop the memory card into my laptop, and copy the files into My Pictures folders.
It's very easy to do.
How would I do this if I took photos on the iP4S?  Need step by step please.
Thanks.

The only portion of the file system you have access to in this way is the folder where the camera roll is stored.
What do you mean by this?
If I were to plug in a brand new iPhone, and wanted to copy 10GB of locally stored music onto the phone, do I have to have iTunes *convert* the files into an itunes format, before it will then pass them over to the phone?  Essentially doubling up the storage used for those songs?
Or does it convert them on the fly as it copies?
Or can the iPhone just store them in the same way as it does on Windows: computer folders, and there they are?

  • HT2518 how do i or can i drag and drop files from one external drive to another ???HOW

    how do i drag and drop files from one external drive to another, i cannt get both drives to open up. only one at a time.. i have alot to learn i know but that is where i am at the time...

    You posted here so would assume you are also talking about running Windows.
    Are the drives NTFS and use on Windows?
    Are they Mac HFS formatted?
    You likely will need NTFS for OS X in one case. to mount PC and use under Mac OS Lion
    MacDrive to mount and WRITE to HFS drives under Windows

  • 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.

  • If I were to drag and drop files from an OSX 9 onto an external hard drive (1 TB), assuming there is still plenty of space left, will I be able to use this same external hard drive to back up my iMac (Mountain Lion)?

    If I were to drag and drop files from an OSX 9 onto an external hard drive (1 TB), assuming there is still plenty of space left, will I be able to use this same external hard drive to back up my iMac (Mountain Lion)?  And would it ask me if I want to initialize (thus erasing it) or eject the hard drive like the OSX 9 did?

    I was trying to follow this thread because I was curious about the OS 9 installation - until I realized you have another thread going about the very same subject, albeit with a different subject line.
    FWIW: it is best not to double post - things get far too confusing after a while.

  • How do you drag and drop using mac laptop?

    how do you drag and drop using mac laptop?

      As said above, you can click down, ons use the other finger to drag the object.  I had turned on the setting to use three-finger drag, so you can drag objects with three fingers.  To change gesture settings, go to the system preferences>trackpad.  Here you can also see all of the gestures of Mac OS X.

  • Drag and drop files from outside of DW into DW Files Window

    When I was using Dreamweaver CS for Windows, I could drag and
    drop files from my desktop directly into the Files Window of
    Dreamweaver. But I can't do that in the Macintosh version. Am I
    doing something wrong, or is it not supported?

    No. This is not supported.

  • How do you drag and drop samples in the ex24 on pro x now that the edit button next to the option tab is no longer there?

    how do you drag and drop samples in the ex24 on pro x now that the edit button next to the option tab is no longer there?

    Well, it's aggravating seeing foolish limitations to the program. Having some experience in education, offering a professional program in a limited version is condescending to the user and has never been proven to help students move forward. Plus, some of the choices made to keep Logic simple are confounding... "removing the edit button on the EXS24"?  That's silly!

  • I want to have two folders of Finder so that I can easily drag and drop files from one folder to another

    I have been trying to reorganize my files. When in Manila I created a folder called Manila 2015 in Documents. I have the Mother folder Files 2015 with several subfolders like Finances, Personal, Tax etc. I want to have two finder folders simultaneously so that I can drag and drop files from the Manila 2015 folder to the various subfolders in the mother folder Files 2015. I am not able to open two windows of Finder on the desktop.

    I have since found out that a new finder window can be opened witht the short cut Command+N.
    Thanks anyway.

  • I used to be able to copy or drag and drop links from the address window. Now with the update, only the address is copied or dragged not the link. (Says something about not giving site information). I want to be able to drag and drop or copy links.

    To be more precise, you can setup a JComponent or JPanel on top of your JavaFX nodes that has a TransferHandler that can convert the (AWT/Swing) images dragged to the app to JavaFX image and then insert it into the underlying node.
    As for the file chooser itselft: ListView and the JavaFX composer can allow you to create one quite easily. TreeView can aslso be used to a lesser extend (still a big buggy). For both of these, there are small bugs in the Cell API that may (or may not) prevent from displaying a proper thumbnail in the cells.
    You can also use a regular JFileChooser if you do not mind the dialog box having a different LnF from the rest of your application.

  • How do you drag and drop/move multiple emails from the inbox or mail archive folder to a file folder in your finder?

    I would like to archive hundreds of my emails that currently exist in my apple mail email filing system by moving them into file folders in the finder. I can do this easily with a single email but it wont let me do it with multiple emails or a complete folder. Is there any way of do this easily?

    Thanks very much for this. However, I understand how dragging and dropping files normally works. It just seems the it wont work when you do it with emails when you are transfering them into a normal finder system folder. If you highlight one file and drag it to a finder folder it works, but when you drag multiple, it just wont let you do it.
    Is there any work around for this? Thank you once again for  your time.

  • Drag and drop files from Outlook move mails to delete box

    Hi everybody,
    I'm trying to develop a feature to be able to drag one or several mails from Outlook to my Java application.
    As Java doesn't recognize a drop of an Outlook mail, in my program, I assume that if it's not a known file type, it is a mail. (I know it's quite straightforward).
    When one or several mails are dropped I use a function from a plugin to get detail from the Outlook mails to import them into my application. In fact it import the data from the current selected mails in Outlook. This function is working perfectly when I use it without drag and drop (from a button 'Import' in the application).
    My problem is that when I use drag and drop, mails are imported correctly but sometimes (not always) they are also moved in the delete box of Outlook. I have done several tests to try to figure out what is the cause. I have used several versions of Outlook, I have dropped 1 mail and several mails a the same time, etc...
    Here are my tests results: it deletes the mails randomly but it seems to delete more often when my Java application isn't in full screen.
    What could be the cause?
    Another question: is it possible to configure my drop area to do copies only and not move? When you drag and drop you have a small symbol next to your mouse arrow. It is a '+' inside a square for copy and an empty square for move. My drag and drop does move by default. I could maybe avoid my deletion problem by changing it to copy?!
    Cheers.
    Edited by: Foobrother on Apr 16, 2009 2:46 AM

    I think I have fixed it. I still have to make more tests, but it doesn't delete the mails any more for the moment.
    In fact, when dropped item is detected as a file I do dtde.acceptDrop(DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY);But if it's not, I just set a variable to say that it is an Outlook mail.
    So I have added the line dtde.rejectDrop(); to cancel the drop. And now it seems to work.
    Apparently, I didn't clean some stuff when doing an email drop and it still wanted to move the mail or something?!
    Anyway, thanks for the help

  • How to manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPod Shuffle using iTunes 11?

    In iTunes 10, it's simple to just drag and drop a few songs manually from the library/playlist to the Shuffle.  In iTunes 11, Shuffle has its own window.  How do you manually drag and drop songs from music library/playlist to iPod Shuffle using iTunes 11?

    If you manually manage music... on iTunes 11, go to the top left corner and there will be a pull down bar. Click "show menu bar". From there, go to view, then show sidebar. Magically, it looks like the previous versions of iTunes. Took me 3 hours of trial and error and searching through forums to figure out. Tried calling Apple to have them walk me through it and they said they wouldn't help me since I don't have Apple Care. Whatever. Hope this helps!!

  • Drag and Drop files from other places to universal apps(windows store)

    Hi,
    Is there a possiblity to drag and drop a file from windows desktop or from other windows store app to my application. I tried searching samples, but it says about dragging an image with in the solution.
    The best example is drag and drop files into recycle bin. Is there a way possible for modern app(instead of recycle bin), or give an user similar experince as the same.
    If not windows8/windows8.1,could we expect in windows 10.
    I believe if it is not possible with XAML/c#, the same holds good for HTML5/JS
    Thanks & Regards Tejaswi Chandrapatla

  • How do you change a music file from quicktime to a mp3 audio file

    i dont know how to change my current music file from quicktime to a mp3 audio file, how do you do it?
    If you are using a "basic" Mac OS X v10.8.4 install/codec configuration then you can use iTunes to convert to MP3 audio. It has a built in MP3 encoder which you can set up as your default audio import/conversion compression format. Otherwise it depends on how you system's codec components are configured and/or what media applications you have installed.
