Nokia PC Suite 6.83 - No longer able to drag and d...

Hi folks,
Having upgraded to Vista, I have lost the ability to drag and drop text messages from the PC Suite Messages Folder to my PC which was my preferred manner of backing up the text messages, when I was using Windows XP as my platform. Is this facility available to Vista users, or will it be introduced with a later update of the Nokia PC Suite software.
Please advise.
Regards,
T Johnson.

I only discovered this with V6.84 - and because PC Suite has been such a b'stard in the past I assumed it was just a messed up installation (and not worth the effort of any attempt to uninstall/reinstall etc. etc. etc.) - but your experience confirms mine (Vista Home Premium); it probably installed OK and just doesn't work properly.
What REALLY hacks me off is that the PC Suite UI uses Windows Explorer Windows (or good simulacra - who can tell?), and to blithely ignore a standard aspect of UI operations is absolutely guaranteed to confuse and aggravate users - and absolutely criminal. How long did I spend trying to work out what was wrong - and to find a work-around? Too long.
I'm sure it worked before on Vista before (could be wrong though) - though I was *amazed* that whatever version I installed it did install correctly and connected to my 6230i...
If it is eventually fixed I will then have a dilemma: do I install the update to avoid the copy workaround aggravation or risk the whole installation collapsing into another Nokia information black-hole?

No longer able to drag and drop files to an iPhone in iTunes.

I accidentally unplugged my iPhone 3G before it was finished syncing in iTunes and I lost all of music, playlist, podcasts, etc. I had copied to it. The problem I am now having is that I can no longer drag and drop anything to my iPhone in the Devices list. The only way that I can now get files onto it is by syncing with my existing play lists, etc from iTunes. I can't even select it in the Devices list and create a new playlist on it by clicking the new playlist button at the bottom. I really liked the option to just drag whatever I wanted onto it. It's really a pain now. It does sync properly, so thankfully that works.
Does anyone know why I know why I'm no longer able to drag and drop music, etc. to an iPhone in iTunes.
Thanks

Man, I can't believe it...that was the fix. I had it checked previously, obviously because that's how I was doing it before. Don't know how it got unchecked, but that IS the solution. I thought something bad had happened and wasn't thinking clearly – feel like an idiot now.
THANKS for you help.

No longer able to drag and drop

Do you have disk mode and manually manage music and videos enabled for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes?

I am no longer able to drag and drop my downloaded files

in yahoo. i, on a daily basis receive about 10 pdf documents and several .dxf files. also autocad .dwg files and jpg files. pretty much any file i have to work with comes to me in my email.
i used to be able to select the file, then download it. after i was done downloading it i could open my download library, and drag and drop the file onto my desktop or other open folder on my pc.
suddenly. i cannot.
i have changed browsers for the time being and will not be able to continue with firefox until this is solved.
i am running firefox 20.0.1 and windows vista sp1

im glad that somebody is atleast trying. perhaps i need to be more clear.
i will step by step describe the issue in detail.
1) i open an email that contains an attachment .dxf or .pdf
2) i click on the attachment shown in the email and aprompt comes up asking if i want to open or save the attachment.
3) i select save. (by default it saves to a downloads folder. but i have also chosen to use other folders (when i did that it wouldnt save them)
4) i highlight the downloads arrow on the right top side of my browser and click it
5) it pulls down a list of the files that i USED to be able to click and drag onto my destop, or anyplace i chose
6) used to be when i clicked and held the left mouse button down on top of a file of my choosing it would highlight and as i began to drag, a ghost image would appear of the file i was dragging. showing a (/) symbol next to it showing i couldnt drop the file within the browser and a + simbol showing that i could drop the file when the file was hovering over a place where i could drop the file such as my desktop or other folder. now, when i click and hold on the file.... I DONT get anything. when i drag. nothing follows. while i am "dragging" in the area that is my browser, i get the pointy finger icon. as soon as i enter an area where i could have dropped the file as before, i get my standard cursor arrow.
its really as if the drag and drop feature just dosent work IN FIREFOX.
i can drag and drop files all day long everyplace else.

No longer able to drag and drop songs into playlists on iPhone?

How's it going, I had to reset my phone the other day and I was able to add a playlist to the iPhone, but now it wont let me add selected songs to the playlist on my iPhone, only sync it through the playlist on my iTunes. What happened?

No longer able to drag and drop to edit pdf

I have adobe acrobat 11.0.06 and Mac OS 10.9.1. I use to be able to add files to an existing pdf via the "Page Thumbnails"view. I would drag the files and drop them there and "bingo" the pages would appear where I dropped them and in the correct order. Now I cannot. Now, only the last page of the file I am dragging will appear. I can add the files using the tools>Insert pages>"Insert from file" .

No longer able to drag and drop artwork off amazon

I went through and edited all the albums' artwork that iTunes could not find by getting the image on amazon and just dragging and dropping the jpeg into the info box for the albums' songs. However, this does not work anymore. Any idea what happened? I can drag the image to the artwork square, but it will not apply.

here is a user tip that worked for me:
try this:
you can add artwork by going these routes:
1) individual tracks
right-click and +get info+ on the file, go to the artwork tab and click on add. navigate to the image file on your HD
2) multiple items
select them all in iTunes, +get info+, copy the image out of Safari or Preview, click once into the artwork box and paste the image into it.

I was able to drag and drop songs from iTunes in to Garage Band so I could slow them down to learn how to play them. Since the newest version of iTunes came out I no longer can. Is this a feature that I can turn back on?

I was able to drag and drop songs from iTunes in to Garage Band so I could slow them down to learn how to play them. Since the newest version of iTunes came out I no longer can. Is this a feature that I can turn back on? I really would like to continue to utlize that feature because it makes learning to play songs easier. Any help would be appericated.

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

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.

What kind of files? If DOC files, is PDF Maker active in WORD? We need more info to help. The applications (and versions) as well as OS would help.

I used to be able to copy or drag and drop links from the address window. Now with the update, only the address is copied or dragged not the link. (Says something about not giving site information). I want to be able to drag and drop or copy links.

To be more precise, you can setup a JComponent or JPanel on top of your JavaFX nodes that has a TransferHandler that can convert the (AWT/Swing) images dragged to the app to JavaFX image and then insert it into the underlying node.
As for the file chooser itselft: ListView and the JavaFX composer can allow you to create one quite easily. TreeView can aslso be used to a lesser extend (still a big buggy). For both of these, there are small bugs in the Cell API that may (or may not) prevent from displaying a proper thumbnail in the cells.
You can also use a regular JFileChooser if you do not mind the dialog box having a different LnF from the rest of your application.

No longer able to drag Outlook emails to Outlook calendar events

I use Outlook 2007 on my PC, and sync it to my iPhone and iPad using iCloud. I used to be able to drag an email to the notes section of an Outlook calendar event, but it looks like this ability/feature is now gone. Can I get this feature back? I even tried opening an old Outlook calendar event to which I knew I had dragged-and-dropped an email. when I opened the event, it momentarily flashed up with the attached email in the event notes section, but then the email disappeared. Frustrating! I drag emails to this section so that I have the details of my event linked to the event, and not cluttering up my inbox.

Have you tried clicking "Reset Sync History..." in iSync preferences?
Also, make sure you have at least one 'local' calendar set up in iCal - rather than just 'subscribed' ones.

No longer able to drag icons to other pages?

Before syncing my iPhone to desktop computer, I USED to be able to select and drag app icons from one page to another. Although iTunes says that I should be able to do this, nothing happens when I click-and-hold an App icon, other than the entire PAGE will move, as if I'm trying to rearrange the pages.
I notice that I CAN, using the iPhone iteself, click-and-drag app icons, but so far haven't been successful in dragging one from, say, Page One to Page Three.
This doesn't feel like an improvement. In fact, it's a real drag (no pun intended).
What's up?

Do you have disk mode and manually manage music and videos enabled for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes?
