Long delay after a drag and drop to trash

This seems like a new behavior and I haven't changed anything: when I drag something to the trash there seems to be a delay in it actually "Getting in there," however if I right click and then click "Move to Trash" its immediate. Is this the way it should be? I am not using secure delete.

And it does nothing similar when you drop an item on a folder or anything else, only the trash... Geez, that is pretty darn strange. And if you slowly drag and drop it, it does the same? I wonder if resetting your PRAM might be worth a shot.
If you delete or remove the plist from where it is now I would guess that a new one would be created automatically like most preferences. But maybe you should wait for Baltwo on that one. Does force quitting the finder do anything? You might also try starting up in Safe Mode to see if that has any effect. If it does, there's probably some software conflict going on. Good luck, if you get it fixed post back. I'd really like to know what was going on.

Double click after a drag and drop

After I drag and drop a label(or other UIComponent) in a container, i want to double click the label to show me an alert. well it doesn't work.
i've tried in the dragCompleteHandler to put event.dragIntiator.addEventListener or event.currentTargetaddEventListner but it doesn't work. Also i enabled the DoubleClickEnabler and still nothing.
Any ideas because i tried to google it and nothing came out with this problem.
thanks

Saving Images after doing drag and drop

Hi Frenz,
I'm doing on a program on drag and drop. Bascically, I have done 2 windows, one is the main window where the drag picture will be drop on and another one is the window with picture for me to drag.I want to know am I able to save_ the main windows with the "drag & drop" picture on it?
Your help will be very importnat to us..Thanks
cy.

Re,
If you want to capture the whole content of the window you should
create a BufferedImage of the size of the window and the default color model.
Then create the Graphics-object and call the paint method from the
root pane of the window.
// Create a BufferedImage
BufferedImage buf = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
// fetch the JRootPane
JComponent rootPane = getRootPane();
// create the graphics object
Graphics2D g2d = buf.createGraphics();
// do the paint
rootPane.paint(g2d);
g2d.dispose;to save this buffered image use the methods from javax.imageio.ImageIO.

Unable to drag and drop into trash when Numbers 09 is in use

I wonder whether anyone can help me with this. When I have a spreadsheet open in Numbers 09, I can't drag and drop anything into trash. However if I minimise the spreadsheet, the drag and drop works!! Can anyone enlighten me as to why this is? I am very new to the Mac and am still learning+
Thanks

Report sent !
*+Your tracking number for this issue is Bug ID# 6611461.+*
+May you check the behavior of Numbers '09 under mac Os X 10.5.6 ?+
+When used under macOsX 10.5.6, if we drag a file's icon above a Numbers window to drop it on the trash icon, the file is not trashed.+
+I was able to reproduce this odd behavior several times.+
+I must add that we may drag and drop to the trash without any problem when running under 10.4.11.+
+Numbers is the unique iWork's component with this odd behavior.+
+I don't know which is the culprit, Numbers or Finder but both of them are made in AppleLand.+
+Happily, we may use the good old 'cmd + delete' shortcut but,+
+an oddity is an oddity and it must be removed ;-)+
Now, wait and see.

How do I uninstall software not in my applications folder? The icon won't drag and drop to trash.

I received a fitness device and downloaded the software. It didn't download to my Applications folder and I wasn't smart enought ot make sure I saved it there. Now the device doesn't work and I want to uninstall the software. I tried dragging and dropping the icon from Launchpad but that doesn't work. This lomg-time PC user turned Mac lover needs hlep!

well this is strange, but hang with me a sec. Some of these will sound obvious but i have to ask them.
1) Are you 100% sure it's not in your application folder? (I have downloaded stuff and looked for a while without seeing the app RIGHT in front of me).
2) The hard thing to believe is that it is in your launchpad but NOT in your application folder.
3) Try downloding it again....it might find the detect the old version and overwrite it. I have never downloaded an app that did not automatically download to the applications folder, but if this one did, check to see what option it gives you to dowload to by default. That way you can see maybe where it was installed to, and thus find it and delete it. then reinstall to the applications folder.
let me know

Songs don't show up in Library after a drag and drop

I want to put some music on my daughters networked imac.
( right now we have her music 'shared' across the network) I want her to have more control of her music so she can make playlists etc (she is getting a nano unbeknownst to her )
When I drop mp3 files into her iTunes folder they don't show in her library.
Am I going about this the wrong way??

Now I see the problem. I did not read your first post thoroughly enough.
You already wrote they show up in the iTunes folder.
iTunes doesn't recognize songs that are added this way.
The most convenient way would be to copy the files to a folder on the desktop and after you're done, to drop that folder on the Library icon or the Library in iTunes.
If 'Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library' in Preferences>Advanced>General is checked, iTunes will copy those files to the proper place.
Afterwards you can trash the contents of the folder on the desktop.

Problem with drag and drop on Mac

Hi, when I run my AIR application on Windows, I'm able to do
the drag and drop.
But when I run the application on Mac, it gave me an
allocation error: unable to allocate region of size <random
number> after I drag and drop thrice.
Anybody knows what's the reason?

Pages does not support the Apple font used for color emoji, so that behavior is normal.
With what app are you reading the yahoo mail? There is really no guarantee than any other email service will show the special Apple font involved.
You should have no problem putting emoji directly into Mail or Text edit via drag drop from the Character Viewer as shown below.
You should also be able to upload graphics here easily by clicking on the camera icon. My email is tom at bluesky dot org.

Can't import photos via drag-and-drop (only small thumbnail will appear)

After I drag and drop photos into iPhoto 7.1.3 (even a photo just exported from iPhoto), it shows the import process and creates an untitled event. Once complete, I see a dashed-line box instead of the images.
http://idisk.mac.com/phildame/Public/Pictures/Skitch/iPhoto-20080308-111415.jpg
Every time I re-open, it will try and re-import the failed photos, creating a new event each time. I have to tell it not to try recoving.
Note that in the event view, it's a blank square. If a reduce the thumbnail slider enough the images appear in "Photos" view (as if only the small thumbnails were generated before it crapped out).
Is anyone else seeing this? I'm not sure what to do.

Two issues there:
Every time I re-open, it will try and re-import the failed photos,...
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
2. As to the blank thumbnails:
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Safari Bookmarks Lost via Drag and Drop to Finder

All of my most important bookmarks vanished without a trace after I dragged and dropped their folder from the "Show All Bookmarks" screen in Safari 4.0.3 to a Shared Network Drive in the Finder sidebar. The Shared Network Drive was not connected at the time (I hadn't realized), but I received no error message that the bookmarks could not be copied to the destination--the folder and its contents were simply gone. I've scoured all drives for the bookmark files with no luck, and I confirmed that dragging other files (not bookmarks) to the disconnected Shared Network Drive gives an error message and no change to file locations.
Admittedly, this particular situation is somewhat rare, but it seems like a kind of shoddy black hole in the software: no alerts, no trash bin, no bookmark files to be found.
Obviously this is a perfect example of why one should backup bookmarks via Time Machine, MobileMe, etc.--but I really just want to understand the problem, and to see it resolved if necessary. Any ideas? Similar experiences?
Thanks for reading!

Thanks very much for your reply, Carolyn.
I tried a Spotlight search as you suggested, but found no file called "Safari Bookmarks.html," and nothing with a similar name. Would that be some kind of master log of my Safari bookmarks?
I'm looking everywhere for an alternate record of those web addresses (router, cache, cookies, Google), but unfortunately I empty my Safari history regularly and nothing else has panned out so far.

Lost drag and drop properties panel CP8

I developed a project in Captivate 7. It included some drag and drop interactions. I've upgraded to CP8 as we want to be able to release the training on mobile devices.
I have not set it up to be a responsive project at this point - I've not learned enough about how to do that.
I can create and edit new drag and drop interactions but as soon as I save them, close the file and reopen it, they are no longer editable. The drag and drop properties panel won't show up, the D&D outlines (blue and green) disappear, the D&D option in interactions is greyed out and I cannot edit the interaction at all. It still has the submit button in the corner and this cannot be deleted. There doesn't seem to be a way to edit the interaction at all.
When I go to close the file and save it, it tells me that it is a captivate 7 file and as soon as I save it, it won't open in Captivate 7 only 8. Save as just saves it as a Captivate file.
How can I work around this?

Drag&Drop would not work in responsive projects anyway.
Maybe this is due to the upgrade? And I suppose you are working in Newbie mode, where panels are controlled by Captivate? You could try in Expert mode (fourth option 'Enable...' in Preferences) because it will allow you to open the Drag&Drop panel from the Window menu.

Hi, This was not what I meant. The requirement is: Drag and drop any one of specific list

Hi,
This was not what I meant.
The requirement is:
Drag and drop any one of specific list of components say x, y,z in the parsys
Only after the drag and drop of these components other components can be dragged to the parsys. So we can say that the parsys should allow only the specific components to be added first and only after that other components can be added.
Thanks ,

Hi there
I'm guessing that you mean to ask if one is able to force a user to perform a drag-and-drop as part of a simulation?
Unless you program it in Flash or some other application it isn't avaiable. Check the link below for more.

Drag and drop to photo shop no longer works after installing Apple "Photos"; It was working fine before the latest Apple update (10.10.3) . what can be done?

drag and drop to photo shop no longer works after installing Apple "Photos"; It was working fine before the latest Apple update (10.10.3) . what can be done?

Nothing. It's nothing to do with PSE; this is a limitation of Photos, as is the loss of being able to use an external editor without exporting copies of your images.

Drag and drop no longer between shared libraries after updating to itunes 10.5.

Used to be able to open up and drag and drop from one computer to another using home sharing. No longer works. Any ideas?

same here except i have windows vista and its my new iphone 4s. it freezes on the backing up phase.

After installing iTunes 10.5.1, I can no longer drag and drop files into iTunes. Any suggestions?

Basically when I try to drag files from a folder into iTunes, (drag and drop within iTunes is fine) the little picture of the circle with a slash through it shows up and wont allow me to drop it into iTunes. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? Thanks. I'm so frustrated I'm about to smash my computer. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting my computer, everything I can think of.

just want to add my annoyance to the pile here. I can't see any logic behind removing the drag and drop function, especially when adding a new folder is now a multi-step process that is far from obvious. to start a new playlist with local folder content you now need to:enter settingsclick into advanced settings (basically all settings now seem to be "advanced"?)manually find and add the foldergo through the adventure of finding the files in your library.
-- because they may or may not be listed under "local files" - you won't know because Ctrl+F is also removed. so you have to remember/know what the album you added is called and search for that. if you have a mixed bag of file names from various albums, you're basically shafted; there's no way to find them all with a single search.then you can add them to playlisteta: but wait! there's more! if you have more than 15 files? you're **bleep** out of luck, because the search will only display the first 15 hits among your local files, and then show you spotify library tracks.I can't help but feel as though spotify is doing everything they can to stop us using spotify to listen to local files, as bugs that make it more or less impossible persist through multiple versions - and now features that seem to me to be basic functionality are being removed?mega minus points from someone who's been using spotify since 2008.

Can no longer drag and drop into my iPhone after iOS 7.0.3.

I'm not entirely sure what is up with this but it's excruciatingly frustrating.
I updated my iPhone 4S 64GB to iOS 7.0.3 the other day. When I plugged it into my car to play some music I noticed that most of the songs in my playlists showed up as being on the phone but they would be skipped over until the music app came to a song that was purchased in Itunes on the phone.
So, I plugged the phone into my PC thinking that it needed to be synced. I then noticed that all the songs on my phone have dotted grey circles beside them.
I deleted all the music off the phone and attempted to drag and drop files from my library back into the phone. As I already have 'Manage Music' checked, this normally resulted in the songs effortlessly being hurled through cyberspace or via a cord to my iPhone.
Now, however, all my songs that I attempt to place on my phone show up as greyed-out with Mr. Dotted Circle beside them.
What the gee-golly-willikers is this all about?

Have you checked the manually manage music box?
