  • Seagate 500Gb FreeAgent GoFlex HD -Can't drag folders from Mac on to the HD.

    I purchased a Seagate 500Gb FreeAgent GoFlex HD. I will be copying files/folders on to a PC and a Mac. I have a MacBook Pro and I'm not able to drag files/folders to the Seagate hard drive from my Mac. When I drag them to the HD, I get the circle w/ the line across. I did the Mac install and chose the option for PC & Mac. Any ideas why my files/folders won't copy onto the Seagate hard drive??

    Someone? Please?? Is it possible that I am the only one who noticed this!?!?

  • How can i fix my mac book pro. My safari crashes all the time, my screen will turn black for no reason, My iPhoto crashes during upload from my iPhone, I can't highlight anything and I can't drag anything.

    Someone PLEASE help me! I cant figure out what is going on with my computer.  I don't install anything weird, but my brother does.  He's very good at computer tech stuff and is in I.T, but I cant help but blame him for all the problems my Mac is having.  Nothing works like it should.  My safari will randomally crash, my screen will randomally turn back, my iphoto will crash during uploading from my iPhone, I cant highlight anything, I can't drag anything.  When I want to click on something, I have to click over and over again just for it to even register.  I know everything is up to date and recently reset my PRAM.  I'm running Lion and have a lot of room on my hardrive.  I have an external harddrive and I'm wondering if I should just move all of my important files over to it and completly wipe out my computer's hardrive and start from scratch. 

    Some folks can't leave well enough alone, and insist on downloading all sorts of additional "stuff" that ends up making their Mac unstable.
    Standard Mac OS X on properly-operating Hardware does not crash, unless you start installing too many add-ons.
    You can run "just the basics" by holding down the Shift key at Startup. This does one pass of Disk Repair, then loads a minimal set of extensions, and comes up in Safe Mode. If it works OK that way, but crashes in "regular", it's the add-ons.
    There ia another layer of add-on junk that can be added to Safari. If the only remaining problem is Safari crashing, those add-ons can be disabled as well.

  • I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? Will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

    I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? If I then move that to the Pictures folder on the MacBook will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

    It would be better if you could connect the two Macs via a hard wired LAN to copy the library from the Mac Pro to the MacBook.  Wireless connections can have momentary dropouts which could affect the reliable copying of files. 
    If you do go with Air Drop be sure to open and inspect the copied library closely to confirm it was a successulf copy.

  • Can't drag Service into BPEL flow in JDev 10.1.3.4 on Mac OS X 10.5.5?

    Hi there - I have an issue in JDev 10.1.3.4 on the Mac. When I open a BPEL flow in JDev and begin to build a process, I can't drag/drop a service from the right hand Services palette into the flow. I noticed this when trying to bring in an Oracle Apps Adapter service, but it applies to other Services and Process Activities as well.
    This is behavior that I noticed on JDev 10.1.3.3 on Mac OS X 10.5.5 but I wanted to see if it changed in 10.1.3.4 - and it hasn't. I just pulled 10.1.3.4 and am launching it from the JDev script in the downloaded folder. I have updated the Mac OS to client-side JDK, but I don't know if that's the version being used by my JDev install.
    Have others noticed this problem? What specific configuration are you using? What other information can I post to make sense of this?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi,
    the BPEL extension is developed and owned by the BPEL group. Please try the BPEL forum at BPEL Note that if they can't provide immediate help for your probem, you may consider customer support for help

    Just to confirm the method you are using - open the Applications folder, locate Skype, drag it to the Trash, empty Trash. Does this not work?

  • Can you drag photos/elements into PSE 9.0 on Mac

    hello, I just switched to a Mac and am using PSE 9.0. Can you drag photos or elements into the project bin? I can't seem to figure it out and it's frustrating me, I could just open my files in my computer on my PC and drag what I wanted in. How do you do this on a Mac or do I have to open each one separately? thanks!! I'm a digi scrapper and it's driving me nuts!!

    You can drag one photo into the workspace (not the project bin) if there's not another photo open, but for some reason in PSE 9 it stops working with additional photos. This is a PSE 9 bug, though, not the usual behavior of previous mac versions.

  • 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 i drag files from one computer to another

    can i drag files from one computer to another

    You can, if you want to transfer files between macs I advies to use AirDrop(wi-fi needs to be enabled). Use shift+command+R, this will take you to your AirDrop in finder. Do this on both computers and you should see the user of the mac where you want to transfer files to.
    If the seconds computer is a Windows, you can alway use a USB Drive, External Drive, through Dropbox(install dropbox on both computers and download the files that you need on the second computer) and if the file is small even mail.

  • Can't drag/drop music files from Itunes 10.5.2 to my new Ipod Touch

    Greetings!
    I I spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with an apple tech and really feel like we've tried everything! Switching from manually managing music to auto synch and back, reinstalled ITunes, etc and I still can't drag and drop music files on to my Ipod. I am able create a new playlist, but music files can't be dragged into there either... Could it be a conflict between Itunes 10.5.2 and Mac OS X 10.5.8 that I'm unaware about? Any ideas?! I'm stuck!

    Try repairing permissions.

    Click on the hard drive in the column. Then verify disk permissions. Repair disk permissions.

  • Can't drag files from itunes library (to anywhere) anymore.

    Recently I've noticed I can no longer drag files from the library in my itunes. I can't drag them to playlists, and I can't drag them to the desktop.
    I have repaired permissions and even tried removing the library.xml file and let it generate a new one, but I still get the same result.
    I am on a mac os 10.6.8 Macbook Pro.
    I'm not sure when ths started happening, but I wonder if it has something to do with an itunes update. I have the newest version and always dwnload the updates. I can still add files to the library by control-clicking the files and selecting the option in the dropdown list. This isn't an intentional change in the way the program works is it? Is no one else having this problem??

    Iphone will sync or manually manage with one and only one computer at a time.
    Syncing or manually managing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with the content from the new computer.

  • Can't drag files from itunes to the desktop or finder.

    I used to be able to do this but have't been able to recently. Please someone else tell me if this is a change that has been made to itunes in general or if there is something wrong with my particular itunes:
    I tunes wont let me drag files anymore. I can't drag to playlists. I can't drag to the finder or desktop. The only way around this is to right click or control-click and show each individual file in the finder and drag from there. Which is very annoying when I try to move many files at once.
    The files are not copy protected and I have permissions open on the folders I am dragging to.
    I use itunes version 10.5.2
    mac os 10.6.8 on a powerbook 2.4 ghz intel core duo

    Someone? Please?? Is it possible that I am the only one who noticed this!?!?
