Mail doesn't attach files through dragging and dropping the files!

Help please,
Mail doesn't attach files through dragging and dropping the files on OS X ML, it crashes for a while !!

Open Disk Utility and Repair disk permissions on the First Aid tab.
Then, Restart and boot into Recovery Mode by holding down cmd-r on restart until you see a gray screen. When the Mac boots, you will be presented with some options. Choose Disk Utility and select your Hard drive volume (Macintosh HD is the default name). Then, on the First Aid tab, click Repair Disk (not permissions).
If that doesn't help, you could try installing the 10.8.2 combo updater from the Apple Downloads site:

Drag and Drop or file attachment in Adobe Forms Central

Is there a particular form or field type in Adobe Forms Central that would allow a user to "attach" or drag and drop a file to a form...say a blueprint?

Hi,
Yes. FormsCentral HTML forms support a File Attachment field. The following page provides an overview:

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer.

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer into my iTunes. It lets me play the song from the folder in my computer and then it opens with iTunes and plays the song all the way through, but then if I try to play it again, it says the file cannot be located. So then I go to locate and go to the folder and all that and select it and nothing happens.

Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.
* [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]
* [[Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window]]
I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using
* FirefoxButton -> add-ons
** see [[Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox]]
** examples [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-toolbar/ yahoo toolbar] & [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-mail-notifier/ mail notifier]
* also look at Yahoo's own information such as http://help.yahoo.com/tutorials/toolbar/cl3/c3_ff_toolbar1.html

Drag and drop several files

Hi,
I'm using iPhoto '11 (version 9.4.2) and when I try to drag and drop several files into a folder, it fails.
Actually it just does nothing: the drag and drop icon is created with the accurate numbre of items in a red star, the folder blinks but when I release the mouse, nothing happens.
It fails sometimes with 3 photos, sometimes with 30.
What's more puzzling is that it sometimes works: if I drag and drop of a single photo it always works. And I'm sometimes able to drop 10 or more photos.
I'm running on a macbook pro retina with lion (10.8.2).
Any idea of logs I could look at for some informations, some errors messages?
Thanks,
Laurent.

I guess it creates new photos, hence it modifies the timestamps whereas drag and drop does not.
There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export. However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

Visual Studio opening files when dragged and dropped in WPF app debugging session

I'm working on a WPF app (using VS2013 CE) which is intended to manage media files (TV Shows, movies, etc) and as part of this I am enabling the user to drag and drop media files on to the running app (by adding AllowDrop="True" and PreviewDragEnter="Window_PreviewDragEnter"
to my Window definition).
The problem I have is that when I drag files onto the app in a debugging session Visual Studio then opens the file(s) when I stop debugging... this is seriously annoying as when I am testing with large media files (> 1GB) it just locks up VS for minutes
at a time while it tries to open the file or files. When I run the app outside the debugger this does not happen - it's only when I'm in a VS debugging session. The only way I can stop this happening is to kill VS completely from Task Manager then restart
it - this is also very annoying but often I need to do this as it will freeze up for 5-10 minutes while it insists on loading the files in VS.
I understand the app, whilst debugging, is running in the context of VS but why does VS then have to try to open the files when debugging is finished? I have looked through the options but can't see anything to switch this off and no amount of searching
has turned up anything - can anyone put me out of my misery with a solution to this annoying issue?

Hello nzmike,
Does Visual Studio behaves like the following image shows and just hangs when opening your media file?
Do you have any other computer which installs Visual Studio? Can you reproduce this on it?
In order to troubleshoot this issue I think we need to locate the root reason of your issue. The problem can related to the following:
1. Your project is corrupt and VS then trys to load that file when debug finished.
2. Your VS is corrupt and caused this problem.
So please do something below:
1. Try clean and rebuild your project.
2. Switch to some other PCs and use VS and your project there, check if the problem can be reproduced.
3. You can backup your VS setting and try some commands: devenv /resetsettings and devenv /resetuserdata
Details about VS command:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xee0c8y7.aspx
And based on th research of the above second step, if you can reproduce this issue on more than one PC, the problem is pending on your project and I need you to share a simple sample which can reproduce this issue. We will need to investigate the project
in detail.
Best regards,
Barry

Why can I drag and drop a file into A3, but not import it?

With A2+ I've scanned images (Epson flatbed) and imported them as TIFF, JPG, PNG, whatever.
Same scanner, software, and A3 refuses to import any of the above formats. However, I can drag and drop the image on a project and it works.
Any ideas? I looked for relevant threads but didn't see any immediately.
Thanks

Image appears in import pane; I can assign metadata, click "import," wait about 10 seconds and it says "import completed with errors," though the file doesn't show up in project.
I have to say it's inconsistent. I just spend 20 minutes trying to import a one scan in PNG, TIF, JPG formats, and eventually gave up and dragged it in as TIF.
Just now, I tried importing it into a different A3 project, and the TIF worked. However the PNG (which I didn't drag into A3, still gives the above error.
I can live with this as long as drag and drop works, but seems like a bug.

Transfering files using drag and drop to Nano P

I havent installed the supplied disks that came with my Nano Plus but am transfering files using drag and drop from "my music" folder on my computer to the Nano. These files are stored on my computer as the Name of the Artist as the folder name with a sub folder named the CD title (default setting when using Windows media to rip) with the individual track files in that folder.
When I drag the main folder over to my Nano it just displays the Album title on the screen but not by artist and there is no way to select by artist (you can just switch "folders" on the Nano which will then display the CD title. If I used the supplied software with my Nano to transfer the files will I be able to choose by artist, CD, Genre, etc or is this not a function of the Nano?
Is it best to just select the individual song tracks and throw them in one large group on the Nano and then it can figure out which artist, album, genre they belong to?

The player will only show directories that contain music files.
The behaviour you want is common on players that manage their content with a database (typically HD-based devices), but Creative's flash players don't work that way (and the software used on the host computer doesn't have any influence on this - the user interface is controlled by the player's firmware).

I download firefox 5.0 and now I'm having trouble dragging and dropping PDF files into Google Docs and I can't view the PDF once uploaded. I had no problems with this in the previous verion of Firefox

With firefox 5.0 I can't drag and drop pdf files in the google docs screen. When I do eventually get a pdf file uploaded I can't view it. I get "no preview available". In my previous verion of firefox (4.something) I had no problems with this and I was able to drag and drop and after uploaded I could view the entire file.

Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

How do I stop a copy of backup files? Time Machine filled my extern HD, I bought a 2TB, drag and drop the old backup files and now my iMac has been stuck in "preparing copy" mode all night.

My 235 MB external HD was full, I bought a new 2TB and dragged and dropped the old backup files to it. Now my iMac is frozen in "preparing copy" mode. How can I 'unfreeze' it? How should I move the backup files from one external HD to the other?

This has been answered here so may times (especially by pondini, e.g. in this thread Time Machine stuck in repeating "preparing files" cycle), so please search this forum the next time before asking such a question.

I am unable to drag and drop image files in a JAVA supposrted site. I have all the lastest versions of softwarte here - everything is up to date.

I am no longer able to drag and drop image files int this JAVA supported site. It had always worked flawlessly in the past.
I would open the site, go to Send Files, allow access, fill out the fields and then drag and drop my image files. Now I can only use the ADD (+) button to do so.
I have the latest versions of OS-X Lion and JAVA installed on my computer

This is the Tech Sheet on the subject:
Photoshop Help | Managing paths
It contains this item under Manage Paths:
When you use a pen or shape tool to create a work path, the new path appears as the work path in the Paths panel. The work path is temporary; you must save it to avoid losing its contents.
Ok, the red you referred to is a Stoke you added. Then QuickMask is not involved.
