Icons wont drag and drop onto particular area

Ok on my desktop there is a section of my desktop on the left side (basically the area underneath where my dock comes out) where i cant put any icons or documents of any description. The rest of my desktop is active and can be used but this one little vertical bar of space is dead. Is there any way to fix it?

If you're talking about this area, it's the divider bar.  You can't put anything in this space.
Programs on one side, folders on the other.

  • Drag and Drop onto a Panel

    Does anybody know how to enable drag and drop onto a panel? I
    need my users to be able to choose an image from a grid and place
    it where ever they want on a panel or something. How can I do this
    in flex? I know how to do drag and drop from grid to grids or
    select boxes. I just can't get to place it on a panel.
    Thanks for any insight

    Thanks a million. This definitely helps out a lot. Do you
    know of a way where you could put all of them on the panel and
    control their layout? Basically, I need the user to be able to pick
    as few or as many of the flags they want and place them on the
    panel to make a collage. So the end user can drag the items around
    and put them in the panel however they see fit.
    Once again, thanks.

  • No Icon to drag and drop

    I have a PC with Windows 7.  After installing the ADE the icon to drag and drop to my Ereader did not appear in the window pane.  I re-installed the download but the Icon still does not appear.  I had to copy and paste purchased Ebooks to my Nook

    What you sent me was the info that is provided on your website and those instructions don't work or help. For some odd reason I can't drop and drag the icon because I can't find where to drop it to make it my home page. My yahoo website has easy instructions to follow. I'll just have to stay with Yahoo

  • Why can't Mac users, who have multiple devices, have device icons for drag and drop, on desktop rather than iCloud, iTunes, etc. ?

    I want drag and drop in the form of icons on my iMac, from all my other Apple devices. I don't want to have to go through iCloud, iTunes and DropBox.

    What are you other apple devices?
    For an all Mac OS X set, you could write an applescript to perform the task.

  • Drag and Drop Onto a JAR

    I got a great answer from Dr. Clap (for XP) to this question in June.
    However, it doesn't work in NT 4.0. I am looking for a workaround for this OS.
    I have an application that runs out of a JAR file (an editor). I would like to be able to drag and drop a (html) file onto a desktop shortcut for to the jar, and have: 1) javaw run, 2) pass it the jar file to open, and 3) pass the html file to the opened jar for editing.
    What follows below is how to do this in XP (and it works). In NT, if I put this into the shortcut it tells me - when I drag and drop a file onto it - that it can't find the appropriate classes.
    ================================================================
    Look at the association for the JAR extension, you'll find that it uses javaw.exe and the "open" action is mapped to some command line involving javaw.exe and %1 which represents the jar file to be executed. Now, for your extension make a very similar setup, only your "open" command line will look something like this:
    "C:\...\javaw.exe" -jar YourSpecialJar.jar "%1" %*
    That command line runs your jar file and passes the file being "opened" to the command line as the first parameter. (I don't know what the %* does but it's in the command line for the jar extension.)

    I would doubt that it would work differently under NT. I'd assume you just didn't do it right, or this jar's manifest file doesn't include the right jars that it depends upon.

  • I can't drag and drop files that are already on my desktop

    Files and images that are already on my desktop will not respond when I try to 'drag and drop' them, for example into the trash or iPhoto.
    No idea how this has happened!
    Thanks

    Probably but I don't know why.  If everything's working don't worry about it, change it to what you want and count your blessings - there's nothing wrong with your Mac!!!

  • Drag and drop onto a cd loses quality

    I shoot in RAW and the file sizes are large and I can manipulate the e-mails BUT
    I noitced that when I drag and dropped RAW photos on to a CD to burn the jPeg qulaity dropped.
    For instance a 14.5mb drops to 537kb..
    I would guess I need to change something and would like help with the issue.
    Thnak you,
    Greg

    Hi Greg -- I really wish I could retract my post.  It doesn't read at all the way I thought it did.  Please accept my apology.  What I was trying to say is that as a means of exporting, drag-and-drop is effectively crippled in Aperture.
    Aperture's complexity makes dragging-and-dropping Images to create and export files unworkable without additional input.  The designers made, imho, a good decision in making drag-and-drop of Images from Aperture to another program equal to exporting the Previews of the dragged Images.
    Again, my apologies -- and my thanks for your soft handling of my rudeness.
    Cheers,
    --Kirby.

  • Drag and drop onto/from a JTable but not onto itself on 1.5

    Hi, i can drag files from Windows Explorer onto a Jtable ,and they get opened and listed in the table, and I can drag records from the table and drop them into Windows Explorer to make a copy of a file. In order to drag files from the table I just need to drag a field in the table (fields can be selected in the table) but it is very easy to accidently start dragging when I dont want to drop and then dropping the file on to the table, I then get an error because Im trying to open a file that is already opened in the table.
    How can I do the following.
    1. If I have selected multiple fields (representing files) in the table I dont want the GUI to allow me to to drop those files onto itself.
    2. If I have selected a single field and I drag to another field, I want to treat it as a drag and drop of a single text field rather than as a file.
    of course as soon as I leave my application I want the drop to be seen as a list of files, and I want to still be able to drag files from other applications to the table. Soltion needs to be java 1.5 comptabile
    thanks Paul
    (So far Ive implemented a TransferHandler, Transferable and DropTarget classes)

    Well Ive done it - wasn't that hard. the key thing was to put both file and field data into the transferbale when created.Then the drop target has to look for field data as a valid data flavor before it looks for a list of files data flavor.

  • How do i drag and drop onto a smart object layer in Photoshop CS 5.5

    I recently bought a 3d mock up Photoshop file as I want to mock up my designs such as business cards and other 3d items. The file notes said With a simple drag and drop on the smart object layer your design will be presented in a realistic and striking way.
    Can you tell me how I do what they are telling me to do as I have played around with the file till the cows come home and can't work out how to do it. Do I need to do the old fashioned mock up way by skewing the image to fit or is there an easier way such as the drag and drop...?
    Any help will be gratefully received,
    Thanks

    Hi here is the template PSD and then I want to put my business card design over and it says you can drag and drop as per my previous message ...

  • Why itunes wont drag and drop to FCP.

    I can drag and drop a track from itunes straight into my premier pro project on windows, but I cant drag and drop to my FCP project on the Mac. Why?

    By re-arranging the windows, this appears to work.
    i.e. left window to right window.

  • Drag and Drop to matching area

    I have am image that has been sliced and each slice has been
    made into a movie clip and put into an selectImage: array. I have
    matching movie clips also put into a (parell) matchImage:array. I
    am trying to drag each movieclip onto it's matching movieclip. If
    there is no match then the movieclip goes back to it's orignal x,y.
    Can someone point me in the right direction.
    Thank you,

    You don't have to use arrays at all if your naming convention
    for your movie clips is what you have listed and they are all
    instances placed on the stage. Actually your code is quite close to
    working, you just need to use the proper syntax. Note that your
    code doesn't allow for the dragged movie clip to have a z-depth
    that's on top of all other clips. For now you can fudge that by
    manually arranging the matching movie clips in your movie so that
    they're all farther back than the draggable movie clips on the
    stage.

  • Drag and drop onto AIR to start AIR with a file

    Is it possible to drag a file onto an AIR application icon to START the application using that file?
    I'm aware that once the AIR app is open files can be dragged into it and it will also open the application when a file is dragged onto it (if the file type  associations have been set) though without any of that file being used, but I'd like to be able to open it directly with the file I drag onto the app. Some sort of InitialStateVariable or such?

    This doesn't seem to work on Snow Leopard. Is there any think I should check?
    UPDATE:
    Found out, lazy me!
    NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, onInvoke);

  • I can't drag and drop onto my desktop.

    I've tried repairing my permissions and and my disk and nothing is working. I made sure that it was unlocked in the info window and everything.
    Help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Cannot drag and drop one particular album from iTunes to iPod

    Hello
    I was loading up my iPod and wanted to drag over a Verve jazz recording, Joe Henderson's "Big Band", but when I try the iPod will not highlight when mousing over and then the album has "exclamation symbols in a circle" against each song from the disc
    Is this some type of copy protection
    Thanks in advance

    No, the "!" in front of the songs in iTunes indicate that iTunes has lost the link for the files on your hard drive. I would suggest you try to play some of the songs in iTunes. You should get the error about iTunes not being able to find the file, then a message about wanting to locate the file. Say yes about locating the file & see if you can find them on your Mac's hard drive.

  • Imovie - how to import MP4 video clip for editing ? Wont drag and Drop ; using OSX on macbook

    the Video just flies back onto desktop.

    It should only have to do the full search the first time. From then on it should be quick.
    Since yours is not, I would suspect that iMovie is not able to write the results of the search, so the next time it has to start from scratch. This could be a permissions issue.
    Go to Disk Utility and try to repair permissions on your main hard disk.
    You might also try trashing preferences. (Details here - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061 )
