  • Drag and Drop Apps to and from Dock, doesn't work for one account?

    Hi there,
    I have 2 accounts on my Macbook, one of them is my main account which is admin and nothing is wrong with it. The second account though is also admin but I cannot drag and drop applications to and from the dock. I can open the program, hold left click down till it pops up with options and in which you can untick Keep in Dock. Which would be fine but as soon as the computer restarts or I log out then in again, the application reappears. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
    Note that I have deleted both plist files from library/preferences and I have also enabled parental controls and ticked the allow users to modify the dock option. I also tried downloading Onyx and setting it up through there but it was a no go. Anyway, if anyone has any idea then that would be awesome.
    Cheers

    Ok, you can drag applications from your Applications and Utilities Folders to make a "alias" (aka shortcut) in the Dock, but if you drag the icon off and drop it, it "poof's" away as your deleting the alias. The program itself isn't in the Dock at all at any time.

    Right, when you run a program from where ever, it places a alias icon in the Dock, which you then right click and choose to keep the alias in the Dock which survives reboots and logouts/in as normal.
    If you right click and choose "open at log-in" the program will automatically run when you restart or log back into the account.

    I don't see any problem, other than your not knowing the icons in the Dock are aliases.
    You should set the same user controls and preferences on the second admin as the first and your problems should disappear.
    OnyX is a great program, I recommend it highly, but I don't see it fixing your problem in this case. Unless there is something your not being clear on.

  • Can't drag and drop files onto Applications in Dock since upgrading to 10.6

    Ever since my wife upgraded her iMac (2 GHz, 2 gigs) to 10.6, she can no longer drag and drop files onto certain applications in her dock to open the file. She has to go into the application and go to "open file" or whatever.
    For example, if she has a Word doc on her desktop, she cannot drag it onto the Word icon in her dock.
    Any advice?

    You have many issues with your and your wife's machine(s). Everything you've posted works here. Reinstall Snow Leopard, repair permissions, and see if that fixes things.

  • Dragging and Dropping

    For some reason if i try to drag something from my downloads on the dock and try dropping it on my desktop it wont drop but if i open a finder window and drag and drop to there then drag and drop to the desktop it works.I cannot remember having this problem? Is there something i have changed without knowing or is it certain things cannot do it ?

    The dock icon is only an alias; you need to be in Finder to actually move the file.

  • How do i drag indicator control type on WPF instead of using Drag and Drop points

    In my WPF application, i have a window which is docked with the screen. i want to automate to expand the window using an Indicator control type, by sliding it. As of now i use StartDrag and StopDrag using specific points, which is not correct when it runs
    in many other screens.
    Could you please let me know, is there way to slide the control (to set window display size to viewable) without using  drag and drop action using points.

    Hi Pavithra,
    >> As of now i use StartDrag and StopDrag using specific points, which is not correct when it runs in many other screens.
    To really understanding this issue, could you share us what you mean by ”which is not correct”? It would be much helpful if you could share us a screen shoot about your UI and your issue.
    >> Could you please let me know, is there way to slide the control (to set window display size to viewable) without using  drag and drop action using points
    Do you mean that the control of the WPF is invisible and you want to set the window display size to make it visible? If so, I think you could use the Mouse.MoveScrollWheel Method to change the windows view until the control is visible. The link below might
    be useful to you:
    # CodedUI cann't find the controls outside the screen view, Mouse.MoveScrollWheel doesn't work too

    If I misunderstood you, please feel free to let me know.

  • File can not be moved by drag and drop in the finder when not open Finder windows

    With the operating system OSX Snow Leopard, it was possible, for example, a file from the desktop to pull drag and drop on the Finder icon, the page opened after a short and you could put the file in a folder.
    At this stage I must first open the Finder to drag a file into the destination folder.
    Is it a setting or is there anything wrong with my Mountain Lion properly?
    It is often the case that several windows of other applications are open or in Fullscreen are, then I would, as I also already knew and am accustomed, for example a file regardless of the location from which drag drag and drop in the Finder without leaving the / program / ​​site to open the Finder, before returning to the file then select I wanted to move.
    Note: For all other programs it works.
    Finder not only in where it makes the most sense.
       Picture 1: Finder window opens when you drag a file to the Finder icon
       Picture 2: Finder icon flashes but the Finder window does not open. Finder windows have previously by clicking on the icon in the Dock will be open to pull a      file into it.
       Thanks in advance for your help :-)

    Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".

  • Drag and drop not working in PE 12, MacOS 10.7.5 (Lion)

    I "copied" the icon for the Photoshop Elements 12 Editor to the dock.  When I drag and drop a photo icon (example, JPG or NEF) to the Elements Editor icon in the dock, nothing happens -- Elements does not open.  The photo icon just "pops" back to the folder I was dragging it from.  Every previous version of Elements that I've used behaved like any other Mac application and opened the photo (with an NEF file, the photo opened properly in ACR).  Other Mac applications like Preview open a file just fine when it I drag and drop the file on the application icon.
    I tried the same experiment with both the Editor and Organizer icons in my Applications folder and got the same results (the application did not open the file).
    I skimmed through the PE Preferences to see if there was some kind of new preference for "drag and drop" behavior but didn't find anything.
    So, what am I missing?  How can I get PE 12 to open a file when I drag and drop a photo icon onto the Editor (or if I really have to, the Organizer) icon?

    Drag & drop works fine for me on 10.9
    You have possibly copied the wrong icon, The application is located in Support Files.
    Applications >> Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 >> Support Files
    Locate Photoshop Elements 12 Editor inside the Support Files Folder.

    my hard drive crashed on my MacBook Pro crashed and I need to get my CS5 up and running on the new hard drive.

    If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc.  you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder. 
    You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it. 
    You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library. 
    If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod.  I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.

  • Drag and Drop export of vcards to Mail no longer works in Snow Leopard

    In 10.5, you could drag a vcard from the Address Book application, drop it on the Mail icon on the dock, and the vcard would be automatically attached to a new mail message. This no longer works in 10.6. Tested on a G4 iMac running Leopard and a Mac Pro on Snow Leopard. Kind of a bummer, as I used to send new contacts to business partners all the time this way.

    There have been other reports of drag and drop to the icon not working like it did/should.
    I imagine rewriting it for Docksposé caused a lot of code changes. Hopefully, they will fix the things that have fallen through the cracks.
    I forgot to mention the only workaround I can find is to create the new message first, and then use Docksposé to drop the vCards onto the new message.

  • How do i Drag and Drop print in black and white?

    I really like the drag and drop printing feature where i just drag several files to the printer icon in the doc and they print with out opening the file. My only problem is that i can't get them to print in black and white, or choose any other features for that matter. it is printing in color, which is the printer's default. Does any one know how to print in black and white with the drag and drop feature. i have set the printer to black and white for a single document, then tried to drag and drop, but it still does it in color only. i am using pdf's by the way, but it happens with jpegs as well.

    You should create another printer queue for the printer and choose an appropriate name for the queue. You can then put the printer in the Dock. Now use the web interface to the printing system <http://127.0.0.1:631/printers>. Locate your new printer and click on the "Configure" button. You will need to authenticate yourself using the short user name and password of an administrator's account. You will then be able to set the defaults for that printer. Click "Continue" when you are done.
    You can now drag and drop those files you want printed to the appropriate printer icon in the Dock.
    Note: This does not work for every printer. There are some manufacturer's drivers that do not put these options in the printer's PPD. They generate them on the fly when you call the print window.

  • Drag and Drop only partly functions in OSX Yosemite

    I recently updated my Macbook Pro to OSX Yosemite and noticed a few weeks after the update, that Drag and Drop stopped working properly roughly 30mins after starting the MB. Drag and Drop still works in the Finder for dragging files, or ein Chrome for dragging a tab into a diferent window. But dragging files and programs into the Dock is impossible. the problem occurs in other programs such as MS Office, for changing the order of pages in a presentation, or in Itunes for dragging Albums into Playlists for example. Restarting helps, but only for the first moments after the start. I found in a different Discussion that deleting a Cache file from the Library (/Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist) didnt help (Link to the Discussion: Cannot drag and drop files in Finder on Yosemite 10.10
    Thanks for your time in advance and i hope someone finds a solution as I dont want to reinstall the whole OSX

    Backgorund:
    Drag-drop suddenly stops working.
    Temporary solutions:
    4-5 reboots
    Removing com.apple.finder.plist file
    Have not tried:
    Reinstall Yosemite
    What I found out:
    For me, I found out that it's not only about drag/drop - it's about the clipboard. As far as copy/paste went, "nothing" work anymore. Not drag and drop, not cmd+c, not Edit > Copy. I started experience the issue just yesterday I think - it came out of the blue.
    However, a week ago I created an Automator scripts that review folder X for extension Y and then moves the file of said extension into a separate folder. Essentially, it's a cut and paste job that Automator does all the time.
    Soluton:
    Removed the Automator workflow i created from /users/username/library/workflows. Rebooted computer. Drag/drop and copy/paste has been working for over an hour.

  • Can't drag and drop music onto iTunes...

    Hi guys,
    Ok I just recently bought my first mac, a MacBook Pro. Transferred all my files (most importantly my music) onto an external hard drive from my PC, then transferred files from the hard drive to the mac and it all seems to be fine. However for some reason I can't seem to get my songs into iTunes. I tried scan for media and that just pops up saying 'processing' for a second then nothing happens...then I tried simply dragging my whole music folder into iTunes, it looked like it was doing something, again said 'processing' but nothing happened. My music folder is pretty big at 42GB, could this be the problem? My iTunes is up to date I just don't understand, can anyone help?
    Thank you,
    Craig

    Hello!
    Check if you run iTunes in Administrator mode. For using drag and drop and miniplayer buttons in dock you need to uncheck "Run as an Administrator" in iTunes.exe file.
    Have a Luck!
    That is the true answer. I can't figure why the drag and drop feature is disabled when in admin mode, but I'm happy it works again. Thanks.

  • Drag and Drop from LR to other applications

    There was a thread going on D&D from LR to explorer.
    The other appliation problem I have is the apparent inability to drag and drop from lightroom into a file transfer window (e.g., file upload with SmugMug).
    The quick collection is an awesome way to organize a storyline of images from a shoot, select only the images needed, and prepare a shoot for upload. However, short of exporting to a folder first, is there a way to just drag and drop the file set from a LR view (filmstrip or thumbs) to another app? This would just be providing file handles, and I would be satisfied if it only grabbed the original images (pre-"develop").
    Anyone have any luck with this?
    -- Jeff

    No. And not likely anytime soon. Putting a Pointer/alias to SmugMug (if it is an uploader client app, not familiar with it) in the Export Actions Folder for Post Processing from Export is the best you can do at the monemt. To get LR rdits out of LR you have to Export. D&D just isn't going to do that for you.
