Problem drag/dropping photos to other Apps (e.g. PowerPoint).

I just got a new camera (FujiFilm FinePix S5700) and the photos from this camera can't be drag/dropped to other apps. If I try it I get the error message "Quick Time and a Tiff decompressor are needed to see this picture"
That puzzles me because the file info shows the pictures as being jpeg files. If I export the photos somewhere else I can drag/drop them into other apps, but not directly from IPhoto. I have had photos from two other cameras and have not had this problem. Any ideas?

Craig:
Try this test. Import a photo from the camera to the desktop first and then import into iPhoto. Now see if that photo can be dragged into another app. They do have a jpg extension on the file name, right?

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

With new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did in the past with iPhoto.

With the new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did with iPhoto. For instance, I have a photo collage app that in the past, I could just drag in the photos I wanted to include. Now, I can DRAG the photos, but they do not DROP. So, I have to go through the export process. It is tedious. What am I missing? Where can I turn on the drag and drop feature for Photos?

YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
As I sid above:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

Problem dragging some photos into book.. they don't show at all.

I have a problem dragging some photos into a book. I've never had this issue before. I can tell that "something" has moved because it often has a ! for resolution issues and the photo has the white check that signifies it has been used....but the photo doesn't show at all.
The photos were made into sepia prints.
Help! Any suggestions about what could be wrong?
Thanks for any advice.

The ! indicates that iPhoto has broken/lost the file path to the original file. Make a backup copy of the library and run the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
Fix #2
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
Fix #3
Start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

Can't drag & drop photos from iPhoto to Finder.

(I'm using iPhoto 9.4.2, mac OS 10.8.3)
I can drag & drop photos from iPhoto to the Finder once. It successfully copies however many photos I had selected to the folder I wanted them copied to. But then if I try to drag and drop any more photos, it won't let me - the cursor has a red bubble for qty. of photos and a gray NO symbol (circle with a line through it) where the Copy symbol should be (green bubble with plus sign in it).
Don't want to do the "Export" feature - I want to drag & drop.
Tried restarting iPhoto. Tried restarting my computer. Software is all up to date.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Sorry - but that is not currently an option - drag and drop (which is not a good way under any conditions since you have no control and simply get the preview of the photo) is either broken or has been removed - in any case no matter what you want it is not an option
The only current option (maybe the only long term option - no one here knows) is to export - this is equally as easy and gives you total control of the quality of the exported photos, the metadata included and is much easier to place photos within a finder folder structure

Hi, I have a macbook pro 17" 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo 2007, will upgrading to Yosemite slow me down or create problems with my Iphone or other app ?

Hi, I have a macbook pro 17" 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo 2007, will upgrading to Yosemite slow me down or create problems with my Iphone or other app ?

Yes, i do not suggest upgrading right now. There is some software malfunction or glitch that spontaneously shuts down this specific model. I upgraded and it was a pain to downgrade and make my mac usable again.

Can't Drag & Drop Photos to Collections

I have searched the entire knowledge base for this and no luck.
I cannot select the desired photos (1 or more pics) I have in Grid View or the Slidebar, and drag+drop them onto either a Folder or an existing Collection.
When I left click over the photo and drag it, the pointer indicates I have successfully picked the group up, but when I hold it over the Collection or Folder, the pointer icon turns into the international "NO" symbol and wo't let me drop the photos into it.
I cannot find any other way to move a photo into the Collections.
I have this problem in Bridge as well, interestingly, which only lets me click on a file or sellected groug, then copy, then paste into the desired folder.
Please help.

Thanks but that hasn't worked.
I just get a "No" symbol while I hold the captured photo over anything in the Left Panel.
I can't seem to find a way to get Adobe to respond back to me about this. This prodct is a month old and this feature hasn't worked. I have not found on the Adobe website where it says you have X-amount of days of free product support but there must be. Their website seems to take you everywhere but where I need to go for the simple solution to this problem.

Drag drop photo import to aperture folder why auto new project folder appear .

i do import photos from desktop to folder that i want in the aperture libary . as soon as i drag and drop photos automatically new peoject folder appear in the libabry as name untitled project.. why? i dont want that new project folder. i try to delete that folder and my picture all automatically deleted from library.
also if i try to delete photos from preject folder .. it completely deleted from master library .. picture will be lost.. why?
i drag and move pictures to brand new album or folder .. then try to delete wanted project folder - master picture are all gone.
now i have at least 30-40 of untitled project folder in the library ... pictrure are not movable i meant you can move but u still have to keep old project folder to avoid master picture can not be deleted ...
someone help me? did i make myself clear?

You might read the manual or the Help as this is all covered there.
If you want to import to a specific project use the File -> Import option. You can select your destination there.
Every photo in a Library is in a project. Projects are the basic building block of the Library. That's why.
Folders don't contain photos. They can contain Projects or Albums. These contain photos. Albums don't contain the actual photos, just links to them. So if you add a photo to an Album and then delete the project... you delete the photo.
Remember: you don't move photos to an Album, you add them.

Why can't I drag & drop photos to my email anymore?

The old IPhoto let me just drop and drag a photo onto the bottom part of my e-mail screen (gmail) and it would -boom- just upload as an attachment. I didn't have to open up the attachments folder finder and waste time. I updated my MacBook the other day and now with the new Photos, this function is no longer possible. Why? Do I have to change a setting or something?
Thanks

Simply use the Share feature of Photos
Use Mail to share photos
You can use Mail to email photos directly from Photos. When you use Mail to send photos in an email, Photos sends it from the first account listed in your Mail preferences. If you have other email accounts set up in Mail preferences, you can select which email account to send the email from when you send it.
Tip: If you have many files or large files to send, you can use Mail Drop to send them. You must have an iCloud account to use Mail Drop. You can use Mail Drop to send attachments up to 5 GB in size right from Mail on your Mac, or from icloud.com/mail on your Mac or PC. All file types are supported and attachments don’t count against your iCloud storage.
Select the photos you want to send.You can send photos from your photo library or an album, but not from a slideshow or a project (such as a book, card, or calendar).
Click the Share button in the toolbar and choose Mail.Mail opens a mail message with your photos attached.
Type the recipient’s email address in the To field, then type a subject line in the Subject field.

Strange Problem Drag & Drop Between Lists

Hello
Actually I have also face this problem in one of my appliocation so have done some work arround for that.
If we use object of ArrayCollection as 'key-value' (like- {label:'Fish'} ) pair than it work fine.
srcAC = new ArrayCollection([ {label:'Fish'},{label:'Meat'},{label:'Chicken'}]);
In case of
srcAC = new ArrayCollection(['Fish', 'Meat', 'Chicken']);
If we drop same item two times than list is not identify unique item of the list
and if we use objet like- {label:'Fish'} than every item is unique for list.
I m not sure this is right or not but it works fine.
Also we need to set 'labelField' of list as per object.

Filmware problems, drag & drop doesnt work anym

Hiya

I have a problem with connecting my MicroPhoto to load the battery and add new music. I haven't had this before. I connected the player on the same way I always do and I got this 'recovery' screen. I could choose for a few options like: Clean, reboot, install filmware. I disconned and connected a few times but I kept getting it. Also the creative media explorer didnt recognise the player so I couldnt get in the harddisc of the player. Then I decided to install new filmware. I deleted to old filmware and installed the new one (my computer said it was the exact same version) Finally I could get into the harddisc again, but then I had a new problem. I couldn't add any music/files by just dragging and dropping. So I disconnected and connected the player, but its still the same. I can, however, add music with the other way (adding media).
Somehow the new filmware has blocked the option drag & drop.
What do I do with this?

How do you mean one direction? Do you mean making one map and put all the songs in there? I can not add songs in a map. I keep on getting the same message, really bizar.

Problem Dragging a photo into a BOOK project

I did this last week. But now I can't seem to drag a photo out of one album into a book album so that I can add this photo to the book during the layout process. There doesn't seem to be a work-around for this. When I called Apple, they wanted $199.00 to help me trouble-shoot this. Anyone have any ideas how I could fix this or make this work?

I hope I have the right context: Ruscle is correct, but you have another option. If its not the pick of the stack, you can designate a non-pick as an "album pick". It should work for the book you are working on from then on. Go to the Stack menu and select Album Pick. See example here (scroll about halfway down - look for the "Non-Pick Images" error window):

That site has several nice tutorials and some great tips, by the way.

Can't drag & drop photos within an album in iPhoto6

I can't change the order of photos in an album by dragging. Looking at the other posts, I've fixed the Helvetica bug several times (by re-activating the font in Fonts Book) but it still doesn't work. When trying to drag, the photo will migrate to a strange place within the album, or not at all. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your replies, TD. They are ordinary albums. I haven't made any smart albums yet. It's strange, sometimes when I'm trying to relocate a photo I'll see the cursor flash in another place on the page and the photo will migrate there. Sometimes there are no cursors at all.

ITunes music sync problem: "drag & drop" works; "Sync Music" doesn't?

I've been trying to sync a few new playlists of music to my iPhone 3GS with frustrating results.
I'm hoping someone can explain to me what I may be doing wrong.
In the past when I wanted to add new music to my iPhone I would use what I refer to as the "Sync Music" or Music tab method. I would rip the CD, create a new playlist for the album, plug in my iPhone, select it under the Devices list in iTunes then click on the Music tab up at the top of iTunes (I have "Sync Music" checked and "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" checked. I would scroll down through the list of playlists, find the new playlist I created and check the box next to it and sync my phone to add the new music.
This has worked flawlessly for years. Until now.
The last three albums I have tried to add this way will not sync to my 3GS. The music will play perfectly on my MacBook in iTunes. I ripped the music the same way, created the playlists the same way, and I can even get as far as the list of playlists under the "Sync Music" check box in the Music tab. I can see the new playlists in this list, I check the boxes indicating I want to sync them to my phone, but when I click Apply and then Sync, the music never shows up on my iPhone.
I keep every new album I import in it's own playlist, so being able to select which playlists I want to sync to my phone is definitely the method I would prefer to use, but since it wasn't working I tried checking the box next to "Manually manage music and videos" on the Summary tab. This of course disables the Music tab and unchecks the box next to "Sync Music".
I'm not too familiar with using this method to manage my music library, so maybe someone can show me a better way to do this, but with the "Manually manage music and videos" box checked the only way I know to add music to my iPhone is to drag a playlist one at a time from my iTunes library to my phone in the devices list.
This is where I get confused. For some reason the new ablums I ripped, which I was unable to sync the way I am used to ("Sync Music" check box/Music tab method), can be dragged and dropped onto my phone and they are copied to the phone without a problem.
WHY!?
Why, am I able to sync these ablums using this tedious and clunky drag and drop method and yet I'm unable to copy them to my iPhone using my prefered "Sync Music" checkbox method?
If you have any idea why I'm experiencing these problems or if you have experienced a similar problem please let me know.
Thank you.

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

Can't drag & drop photos

I can't drag and drop about half my library from iPhoto into Pages or Keynote (I get the "springback" action). I've tried using the Media navigator or going directly from the iPhoto window. Dragging those same pics into iMovie or iTunes works fine. No rationale for why some do some don't transfer. Pics from same roll/sequence differ. One "workaround" is if I edit (crop, whatever) in iPhoto, it then usually ebables the pic to be transferred. I've tried disabling and reenabling fonts to no avail.
Thanks for any guidance

Saving photos from other apps

Before iOS6, I would be able to hold my finger over a picture, hit 'Save photo' and it would be saved in camera roll or photos. Now, however, when I click 'Save photo,' the icon goes dark blue as if to accept my request, but blinks back to its neutral color (the grey color before clicking the icon) and disappears as it normally would after tapping. However, the photo is not saved anywhere. This seems to be the problem for the Facebook app, because I can save photos from online. Also, when I open a photo in the Facebook app, the photo itself quickly blinks before loading, and this wasn't happening before the iOS update. Anyone else noticing this issue/have recommendations?

Hold Home Button together with Sleep/Wake Button for 10 Sec. and wait for the Apple Logo to come out(very important) and open up facebook app and see if you can save pics again. because, i can do that normally on my iPad 3 running iOS 6.
