I used to be able to drag a photo out of say, a Facebook page or iPhoto and put it in a folder. this stopped working, what changed?

Running an iMac with OSX 10.9
The other day I was dragging photo's out of iPhoto into a specific folder that I was going to then upload to Shutterfly. It was working ok then it stopped, and I could no longer drag photo's into any folder I wasnted. I also used to be able to pull photo's from facebook to my desktop but this is no longer the case either. (Could be a FB setting) What changed on my iMac?
If you have the answer please post for me to make the proper changes in my settings.
Thank you .
Jim

I'm sure a setting got changed. It still does not work for me. So what I've resorted to was copy/paste. but that's not the ideal way to do it. If you know the proper settings let me know.
Thanks.

If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

I own an iMac computer. I used to be able to drag photos/docs directly to my desktop screen. I can no longer do this. When I try, you hear the SOUND stating it was successful, but no picture/document. Any ideas how to fix this???

Hi Randy,
In Finder do a Get Info on your Desktop folder in your User folder, is it locked? What Rights do you have?

In iPhoto9, I used to be able to duplicate a photo and put it in two different events. Is there a way to do this in iPhoto11?

In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.

I used to be able to send a photo from mail to my iPhoto. Can I still do that?

With a message open, click on the "save":
and click on "add to iPhoto" - that should work.

I dragged a cut out image from one photoshop document into another and now it is blurry. What to do?

I dragged a cut out image from one photoshop document into another and now it is blurry. What can I do to prevent this?

What is the resolution of the image that you "dragged"? The resolution is the number in pixels per inch (ppi). If you dragged a significantly lower resolution file into a higher resolution file, it could result in a blurry image.
see below:
For further reading of Key Concepts:

You can determine the image size by choosing Image > Image Size
below you can see the pixel dimensions of my example image.

I'm in iPhone 5. I transfer photos to a Windows 7 PC, using the USB cable. Lately, the photos are appearing in Windows Explorer within monthly folders, with gibberish titles. The folder names will be 8 random letters and numeric characters. I tend to let photos build up, so there are about 2 years worth of these monthly folders… Between 20 and 25. This is a huge hassle… I'm unable to tell what months are in each folder, by the folder name.… Have to open each folder to see which month is in there. I want to be able to look at all the photos on the iPhone in one view, as I was able to in the past. How do I stop this foldering of photos, by months?? Thank you. BC

I have the same issue. I searched and finally got only one answer is -- Apple suggest customer using iMAC to transfer and backup photos instead of Windows. How great the solution is it!

Mavericks does really nasty stuff..
Try manually mounting the sparsebundle and extract the files you want.
Yet another Pondini reference. http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
We have avoided Mavericks you see knowing that it would cause these kinds of issues..
You never ever load a new OS without doing a disk image beforehand.. TM is not reliable enough or trustworthy to be depended on.
If none of the above work..
I would get a USB drive on the computer and install Mountain Lion or whatever OS you had before you unfortunately upgraded to Mavericks.. Then use TM from that decent installation but mount the sparsebundle and choose the backup from a date well before mavericks was installed.
Once you have extracted the files.. or even done a full restore you might be able to extract the files you want.

My current version of Chrome is having problems, too! It's so annoying. Anyone have any suggestions now? I basically can't view or download any PDFs because of this.
Does anyone else think this is a problem not only with Adobe? I would think Apple would have something to do with this? Wouldn't they get some idea from the developer versions that no browser can open PDFs while running Lion!? Pretty bad customer service on the part of a company that prides itself on being VERY customer-friendly. Wouldn't you say?

Hello teachermama10, The Factory Data Reset does remove all data including files and photos. I understand that making sure your phone information is backed up is of the upmost importance. You can ensure your phone data is backed up using these links: http://vz.to/1uM5mwZ and http://vz.to/1vEzYok. You can also try our great Verizon Cloud feature as an option for backing up and syncing your phone info! Check it out: http://vz.to/1s4GctA.
