Problem dragging/dropping bookmarks

Whenever I attempt to reorganize my bookmarks by dragging a bookmark, or bookmark folder, from one place to another in the bookmarks list I go nuts with frustration. The problem is that if I hesitate even for an instant over a folder as I make the move the folder opens and the screen begins to fill up with open bookmark folders. Is there any way to make this whole process less "sensitive" to even the briefest pause, or is there some trick of the trade I'm missing?
Thanks!

You're welcome.

Strange Problem Drag & Drop Between Lists

In the following code, drag & drop is set to copy objects, but when more than one instance of an item exists, only the last item (highest data provider index) item can be selected. Any idea why this is happening, and how to correct this?

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 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?
Happy Holidays
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.

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.

Problems Dragging & Dropping & Defining Y Axis

I am new to Flash, but have taught myself quite a bit so far.
Right now I am having a problem with dragging and dropping action
script. What I want to do is have someone drag a pushpin graphic to
a part of the screen. And depending upon where they drag it
something will happen after they click a button. As far as I could
figure out, in order for this to happen I need to know the X &
Y coordinates of where I want the object to be. Here in lies the
problem, I can not get the Y axis to respond correctly.
When I set trace(mv_pushpin._y); in the begining of my code
before anything gets moved I get a correct reading. however, as
soon as I move it, and try and retrace it, it tells me that it is
undefined. The X axis works perfectly and I can get updated
readings as to where it is. But for the life of me, I can not
understand why I can't get a good reading on the Y axis. Does
anyone have any ideas? Thanks

you're doing something wrong. most likely it is a path
problem.
the trace() function is probably being called from a timeline
that does not contain mv_puspin.

Problem: Drag&Drop over HTML-Elements does not work

Hello everybody,
I developed some sort of Clipboard, which consists of a canvas, on which you can drag around some customized components. These components consist of a panel, in which there is an mx:HTML-component and a text area.
The problem is that clicking into the panel-header area and dragging the component around only works as long as I the mouse pointer does not touch the mx:HTML component. This means, that when dragging the component over the region where its own(!) mx:HTML-component is located, the drag action is terminated. When the component is dragged over another components mx-HTML part, the drag action is also terminated.
Why does this happen?
If source code is needed, just ask and I will upload an example.
Kind regards,
Sebastian

what if u hit design mode
and then switch off the design mode
sometimes this workaround helps
try contacting the basis people and make sure u havent installed the lates gui or something.
somethimes during upgrade or so this functionality doesnt work
i face the same issue.

Why can't I Drag & Drop a link from my address bar to my Bookmarks Toolbar in 4.0? I have the toolbar activated, but I can't do this. I was able to do it no problem with 3.6.

Drag & Drop for bookmarking a link from Address bar to Bookmarks Toolbar is not working in 4.0. Was working in 3.6, then I upgraded to 4.0 and everything got screwed up. How can I fix this?

I ditched 4.0 and went back to 3.6.17 but I can't drag and drop with it either. The Favicom idea didn't work for me either. Once in a great while it will work, but usually that ends up screwing up my bookmarks and everything being re-arranged. How could something so simple and basic NOT WORK anymore?

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*View > Toolbars
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

How can I drag/drop a TITLE w/URL of a bookmark, not just the URL.

In a previous version of either FF or Windows, I could drag/drop the TITLE w/URL of a FF bookmark.
In 3.6 I can only d/d the URL.
Can I change it so I d/d the TITLE w/URL as a hyperlink?

Good questions... I'll have to try and figure out when the problem first happened - I was thinking it was when I upgraded to Safari 5.1.4 but that might not be the case... I'll try your suggestions to see if any of them eliminate the problem (I have restarted recenlty and that didn't fix it) but I'll try repairing permissions,etc. Thanks!
hmmm... Mcbuffy: are you implying that you *don't* get the webloc when dragging an image out of Safari and that this isn't a caused by change to Safari but is a big/conflict in mine?

The bookmarks toolbar is there but has no item buttons on it. How do I get the items back for this toolbar? Also would like to know if the toolbars can be put on the same line to make more room on the page (drag & drop) ??

The bookmarks toolbar is there but has no item buttons on it. How do I get the items back for this toolbar?
Also would like to know if the toolbar can be put on the same line to make more room on the page (drag & drop) ?? Like the menu & bookmarks toolbar could/should fit on same line. This would add more page view...
Floyd Perry
Thanks

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button
You can only move the content from a toolbar onto other toolbars if all toolbars support that feature. You need to check that in the options of each toolbar.

Can't drag and drop bookmarks in FF12

I just upgraded to FF 12.0, and I find that I'm unable to drag and drop bookmarks in the "Show All Bookmarks" window. I used to be able to organize my bookmarks that way, order them, put in folders, etc. I can delete bookmarks, and I can even "copy" and "paste" them to move them around, but I can't drag and drop them anymore.
When I go back to FF11, which I had archived, it works fine.
iMac 10.6.8

it's the torbutton extension on its own that causes the issue with firefox versions 12 upwards - i also tried it with a fresh test profile. the torbutton extension is no longer maintained by its developers - they recommend a switch to the tor browser bundle, see [https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/].

Strange problem with drag&drop!!

hello i hope u can help me.
i have a strange problem but not like the other users with drag&drop in Leopard..
mine is not exactly like this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1198982&tstart=3538
i can hold left click and move files but when i need to "drop" them at the .app's window the app rejects the file back! (some of the applications not all!)
what i mean in examples is:
i cannot drag&drop anything in the VLC's player window but i can inside the vlc's "controller" window
i cannot drag&drop a picture in preview
i cannot drag&drop any file in photoshop's new file/empty canvas
i cannot drag&drop a mp3 file in itunes but i can drag&drop a full album folder(only in playlist,not in the player window)!
and i can describe more to show u that it's not about vlc or preview or PS problem, but finder's/leopard problem.
(i thought in the 1st, that it's vlc's problem and i downloaded a lot of versions!)
all the other programs works well, for example i can drag&drop a video to final cut or motion
i can do the same in iMovie (at the space it says"drag&drop media here etc)
and of course i can drag&drop files to desctop,hard disks etc.
i can copy/paste text etc (i can copy/paste texti can copy/paste texti can copy/paste texti can copy/paste text)
i am trying to give you an idea, suggest me what else should i try in order to focus where exactly the problem is!
i hope u give me a solution cause drag&drop is usefull!
thank you
in order to help u, i will describe what i tried so far:
1)repair permissions
2)trash com.apple.finder
3)terminal solution like this: (didn't worked)
sudo su -
cd /
rmdir tmp +*(rmdir: tmp: No such file or directory)*+
ln -s tmp /private/tmp

hello and thanks for your reply
but why you quote only the part of VLC?
One thing at a time. Occam's razor.
and why u believe this is normal?
i am sure that VLC can drag & drop subtitles or the movie in the player window.
and when i say sure, i mean 100%
I disagree. I have tried this since reading your post, on all my VLC versions. It does not work.
You can, however drop a movie onto the VLC icon in the dock. That works fine.
RealPlayer accepts a file dropped on it. I just checked it.
Not all apps accept a file on their output window. Usually only the input window.
i started my windows bootcamp partition before and i saw this works.
and i remember trying VLC in tiger a lot of years before, this was ok.
and yes of course it would be also normal to drop a picture in the photoshop canvas.
so what is not normal here is my problem, if u can help i'm happy if you cannot please don't confuse it more
(sorry if i sound "unclear", english is not my 1st languange)
I will check VLC next time I run Tiger and let you know.

Since upgrading to iTunes 10.5.2 Drag&Drop no longer works in iTunes. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

When I upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2 I lost the ability to Drag&Drop. I started a new playlist and I could only add songs by cut and paste, and once they were on the list I can’t rearrange them in any other order.

I realized I can't drag and drop either, but I barely have any songs and I've never noticed if this feature was there before 10.5.2. Is this only on a playlist?
