I am unable to drag contacts into contact group

This only happens on my wife's Macbook pro which is running Maverick. It won't allow her to drag a contact into a group. Initially it worked if you did one, then quit/re-open contacts. But that doesn't work either now.
I have never come across this before. Anyone else?

You want Mavericks:
OS X Mavericks
You might have thought this was forum for laptops (not) that is:

Typing "Contacts" got this thread, and seems like you will want to investigate using iCloud

I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please?

I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please, by the way the "L" doesn't appear in the bottom left hand corner either? and by the way how can I get rid of that irritating Blue badge saying "AutoFill your contact details" all mine are in "address book" already!

You can't drag a transition into the canvas. If you're dragginmg a transition from the effects tab you drag it between the edit point of two clips in the timeline.
Make sure show edit overlays is turned on in the Canvas view popup.

Copied cd on Itunes, unable to drag songs into Iphone 4.

Hello,
I have copied a cd onto Itunes. When I select the songs or entire cd, it doesn't allow me to drag it into my Iphone 4. A red outlined circle with a line acrros it apppears. HELP!!

I'm not sure what "manually manage media" is or where to find it. If this is under "sync songs manually", a message appears stating that I already have another Itunes library. If I choose to manually sync, then I will loose all the songs on my iphone. How do I fix or prevent this from happening?

Unable to drag photos into iweb

when i try to drag photos from iphoto into iweb they don't go (?)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What type of page are you trying to drag photos to? If it's an album page then you need to drag an album from iPhoto. Individual photos can be dragged into a regular page, or the photo page or the grid page associated with an album page.

Help! can't drag photos into or within imovie

I have a couple hundred pictures in imovie already. everything was working fine, and now I am unable to drag photos into the project. it shows the green line and the plus sign as if its adding it but nothing happens. it has been freezing and i have tried restarting it which worked initially but not anymore. I can add music and videos, just not pictures. I also realized that I cannot drag the photos around within the project now. I have to present this on Monday! I make a slideshow/movie every year and this is a brand new MacBook so I can't believe I am having problems when my old computer worked fine!

Any of the Following:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Unable to drag any titles.

Every time I create a title for my movie I am unable to drag it into the playback. I can preview it and that is all. The update button is not highlighted and I try and select the title but nothing happens. Is anyone else having this problem or is there something I have overlooked.

I am having the same problem. I'm using an older version (iMovieHD 5.0.2)
I have 15 photos I want to make into a movie. Each photo needs a different title.
I can type the text of the title and preview it. But I am unable to drag the title anywhere. In clip view & timeline view, there is no way to drag the title. And the 'update' button is not highlighted.
Help me please... I've spent hours trying to work this out...

Having downloaded Mavericks now unable to drag and drop contacts into the to column of mail

After downloading Mavericks I can not drag contacts from my addreass book to the message. I also find that iphoto has been locked out and not able to seek pemissions to enter my photos. Can any one help

Finally figured it out. Podcasts in your Podcast folder aren't actually there (they're just "available") until you download them by clicking on the down arrow to the right of the name. Once you click on the down arrow the podcast will download to your computer and a blue dot will appear to the left of the name. You should now be able to move the podcast to your other i-devices.

Have issues with Contact locking up while dragging contact into Group

After creating a new Group in iCloud-Contacts, while dragging and dropping new contacts into the group, the browser locks up each time I try to drag a new contact into the group.
Browser: Firefox 10.0.1

I am also having a similar problem with my 13 " macbook pro purchased in Aug 2011. I took the same to
m/s Unicorn Infosolutions Pvt Ltd , Mumbai ( authorised service centre for apple). They first checked it and said that it was a hardware problem and I will have to keep the MBP with them till they get the replacement part from Bangalore and the repair would be free of cost since it was under warranty. So far so good. Then late in the evening , they called me up to inform that there was liquid found inside and the mother board would have to be repaced and the same would cost Rs 64,000/- which is slightly less than the cost of a new mbp.
Unable to understand the formation of liquid since the time they checked up in the morning and their discovery in the late evening.
They probably had a change of heart regarding replacement of the part under warranty.
Apple should take serious action against such firms which indulge in such unscrupulous activities.
Now I am left high and dry since apart from scrapping my new MBP, my data is also lost.
Hope Apple can come out with a solution for this problem and replace/rectify the machine.

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

Copy and paste works. But drag and drop is also back in version 3.2. It works well here. Just drag and drop onto the canvas.Make sure you've upgraded to version 3.2 as earlier versions of Number 3 did not support drag and drop from Contacts.
Note that the column headers are misaligned if you are dragging contacts that do not contain an image. But the information in the body of the table drags in correctly.

Problem dragging contacts into numbers

Hello all, and I hope you can help. I'm a relative newbie to the forums (other than lurking occasionally), but quite an experienced Mac user.
I am trying to get contacts into a spreadsheet. I have tried the two methods of (1) dragging individual contacts from Contacts or groups into a table with mapped column names, and (2) dragging contacts or groups onto a blank area of canvas, in Numbers 09. Neither works. Nothing happens.
Can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong?
I'm on Mac OS X 10.8.4 with all software up-to-date.
Thanks in advance,
Keith

Superb thanks, Wayne. Sorted in one. Obvious (well, in retrospect anyway). Now of course I realise what happens when I installed all those apps that asked me if I wanted to allow them to access Contacts and didn't let them...

I cannot drag contacts into a group under my yahoo groups

There is a funny symbol next to the word "yahoo" and I think this means something is amiss.

Re: How do you add a new group in contacts

No longer able to drag a contacts group into mail address line

With the latest update to OSX, I cannot drag a Contacts group to the address line in Mail. How can I restore this function?

Nvm I figured it out, the option I was looking for was under Summary on the iPhone "manually manage music and videos"

Mavericks: Unable to edit Contacts

I am using iCloud syncing and able to edit contacts in iOS.
Unable to do any sort of edits on my Contacts and have been unable to find the AddressBook folder to verify file permissions.
What would be the best way to resolve?
thanks.

First, make sure all of your contacts are in the iCloud web page.
Second, export your contacts to an Contacts Archive using the command in the File menu, Export > Contacts Archive.
If you have ON MY MAC contacts, select them all and File > Export > Export vCard
Close Contacts. If they are in several Groups, export each group individually so you can restore the groups easily.
Uncheck Contacts from iCloud system preferences. Have it delete the contacts on your Mac.
The AddressBook folder is in your user/Library/Application Support folder.
To get there, hold down the Option key and select Library from the Go menu in Finder.
Browse to the AddressBook folder and delete everything in it.
Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud System Preferences.
Open Contacts and test.
If you need to restore ON MY MAC contacts, recreate all of your groups and go to Contacts Preferences and set the Default Account to ON MY MAC. Then, double-click each group vCard to import them. You'll have a Last Import Smart Group which will contain all the contacts you just imported. Select all and drag them into the original Group.

Option-drag contacts to Finder no longer works in Mavericks

In all versions of Contacts and Address Book you could select multiple contacts, hold down the option key, then click and drag them into a folder, which would result in a separate vCard for each contact. If you did not hold down Option prior to dragging, all contacts were combined into a single vCard (eg: John Smith and 10 others.vcf).
I just installed Mavericks and now the option-drag method no longer works. As I drag the contacts to a folder everything looks like it is working as normal, except that when I drop, nothing shows up in the finder, the folder remains empty. If I don't hold down the option key, it works as normal and a single vCard is created for multiple contacts. Dragging one at a time also still works.
I would like to know if others are experiencing this as well. I assume this must be a bug, as without this ability the only way to export multiple separate vCards (that I know of) would be to drag them one at a time.

It's frustrating when Apple removes a feature you're used to using... But when they close a door....
Do the following:
1) Open the Contacts Application and select all the contacts you want to export
2) Open the Automator application and create a New Workflow
3) Select "Contacts" from the Library panel at the left
4) Drag the action "Get Selected Contact Items" from the middle panel and select "Get Selected PEOPLE" from the drop-down menu.
5) Drag the action "Export vCards" from the middle panel and select "Export INDIVIDUAL VCARDS" from the first drop-down menu and select a destination FOLDER from the second drop-down menu. Just create a new folder on your Desktop and select it, you don't want to save directly on the Desktop as this will put all your individual vcards there.
6) Run the workflow by hitting the PLAY button at the top-right of the window.
Optionally, you can save the workflow for future use, but the best practice would be to use the Get Selected Items and not the Get Specified Items, as the later would only export the contacts you already have there and not the new ones, I believe.
In any case, there's the window!
Rick.
