Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Drag and Drop Feature is not working

I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro running 10.8.3 and all of a sudden the drag-and-drop feature isn't working. I was dragging photos from my job's website and adding them to a folder, but after about three photos in, it stopped working and no matter what I do it won't drop into the folder. How can I solve this?
Thanks

Can you drag anything into the folder, such as files from another folder?

Now that I have home share my drag and drop feature doesn't work to create playlists

Now with Home Share there are two subsets of playlists. One is on the hard drive of the acutual computer where the iTunes originated. Once I am at a Home Share computer I cannot use the playlist feature. I can CREATE a playlist and name it, but the drag and drop feature does not work for songs which are not directly located on this hard drive. I can, for some reason, attach an iPod and make a list over on that, but that is all.

Because IE is running in a different user context. You cannot drag and drop anything from Explorer into a different user context. This isn't a "SharePoint" issue, as it relates to any application run as a different user.

Why does the drag and drop feature not work?

I have several files on my desktop. When I try to move them o a new location, they just 'snap back' to their original position. Why doesn't the drag and drop feature not function properly?

BUG - Drag and drop an image, only working at the 2nd try

I use the last version of JDeveloper : 11g R1 : 11.1.1.2.0
I try to drag and drop an image in a facet of a panelsplitter.
Once the page is loaded, the first time I try to drag the image, it does not work : the image does not follow the mouse.
When I try to drag the image again, then it works : the image follow the mouse
So I don't think it's related to the destination/target.
I feel it's so simple, since it just requires to add <af:componentDragSource/> inside <af:image/>
that if it does not work, it can only be a bug in the functionality offered by ADF ...
Or maybe there is something wrong with the generation of the page ?
I get this message in blue in the "running log of WebLogic" :
<FormRenderer><setupEncodingContext> Multiple forms detected on viewId: /myPage.jspx. Rich client currently has some limitations in dealing with multiple forms.
Please note that I use jsp:include inside f:subview to include fragments (.jsff) so that the source and the destination are not in the same file, the source in a .jsff while the destination is on the main .jspx
The code related to the drag and drop :
<af:form id="form">
<af:panelSplitter orientation="vertical" splitterPosition="70" id="psHeader" clientComponent="true">
<af:panelAccordion id="paPref" discloseNone="true" styleClass="fullSize">
<af:showDetailItem id="sdiTemp" text="Templates">
<af:panelBox>
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pglTemp" layout="scroll">
<af:panelList id="plTemp" rows="2">
<af:image id="imTemp2up" source="/images/anImage.jpg" inlineStyle="" shortDesc="...">
<af:componentDragSource/>
</af:image>
<f:facet name="second">
<af:dropTarget dropListener="#{dropHandler.handleComponentMove}" actions="MOVE">
<af:dataFlavor flavorClass="javax.faces.component.UIComponent"/>
</af:dropTarget>
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance,
JP

Hi,
no bug that I can detect here as it works for me with the same setup. How likely is it that the image is too small so that you don't grab it probably the first time?

In Oats Drag and Drop Api is not working in Firefox Browser

To Write OAts test for Drag and Drop functionality
we are using "dragTo" API.
Ex :
web.image("/web:window[@index='0' or @title='Fusion Applications']/web:document[@index='0' or @name='aqizmnwha_1']/web:img[@absoluteLocator='" + sourceIndex + "']")
.dragTo("/web:window[@index='0' or @title='Fusion Applications']/web:document[@index='0' or @name='aqizmnwha_1']/web:img[@absoluteLocator='" + targetIndex + "']");
This Api is not working in firfox.(works in IE browser).
Is there any other way we can test DnD functionality in firefox and IE?
Thanks in Advance!
Thanks,
Siddi

GNOME 3 : "drag-and-drop" + "Alt-Tab" not working

Hello,
In GNOME 3.2.1 with Mutter 3.2.1 (current ones in Arch), it is supossedly fixed the following "bug":
Mutter 3.2.1 changelog:
* Allow keyboard window switching (alt-Tab) during drag-and-drop [Matthias, #660457]
But I can't make it working.
As test, I open a folder (maximized) and vlc (background). I drag a movie file with left click mouse and pressing Alt-Tab makes nothing.
In fact, when I press Alt the file icon changes to a question mark "?"...
Has anyone been able to make it work?
Thanks in advance,
Franz

AS3 drag and drop masked bitmaps - not working

I have a drag and drop project using bitmaps that were masked using fireworks. All bitmaps are PNG (fireworks files) and one object is GIF. All objects were converted into movie clips.
PROBLEM
All movie clips from PNG's can be dragged, but they can't be dropped. However, the GIF movie clip responds to both drag and drop.
ActionScript worked when all movie clips had GIF's.
Is this problem because the objects were masked or for any other reason?
Note: Objects were masked because their border is very fussy and cropping them doesn't help with the quality of their image.
// ACTION SCRIPT

var startY:Number;
var counter:Number = 0;

Drag and drop album art not working / iTunes 7.0.1.8 & WinXP SP2

Drag and dropping album art isn't working for me after upgrading to iTunes 7 in WinXP SP2. Anyone else experience this problem?
Update: Drag and drop works from a webpage but not from Windows explorer or Windows Picture & Fax Viewer.

You only need an iTunes account to automatically get artwork. Usually artwork for CDs you import yourself is gotten from somewhere else. I tend to use allmusic.com. Occasionally I will have to use google to find the artwork though.
Have never tried to add artwork from anywhere but a webpage though.

Drag and Drop Cursor changes - not working

I have fully implemented a working drag and drop Swing application, but I am running into problems with the cursor.
My application has some drop targets that set the cursor to DragSource.DefaultCopyNoDrop, and some that set it to DragSource.DefaultCopyDrop. The problem is once I change the cursor DefaultCopyDrop, I can never change it to NoDrop. I can however change it from NoDrop to Drop. I have tried it with jdk1.4 beta3 and rc.
An example of this cursor behavior can be found at:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-1999/jw-03-dragndrop.html
I found some information related to this at:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4407521.html
I have tried using a null cursor in the startDrag method.
Does anyone have a DND example where the cursor consistantly changes to give drop feedback that works with the DND in JDK1.4?
Dave

Hi, I also want to implement DND. I am using JRE1.3.1
I am also facing the cursor change problem. i have passed null in the startDrag method. This problem get solved to some extent, but still many times cursor is not changing. I have created my dragSource and drag Target
in the Constructor of my tree in a separate thread like
// IN CONSTRUCTO OF TREE
SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Tree_DropTarget(this) );
SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new TreeDragSource(this,
DnDConstants.ACTION_MOVE) );
Than in the target and source class
publi clas Tree_DropTarget implements DropTargetListener,Runnable
public Tree_DropTarget(JTree tree)
m_dropTarget = tree;
public void run ()
try
Thread.sleep(2000);
catch (InterruptedException e)
m_dropTarget = new DropTarget (m_targetTree, this);
Same Way I have done for DragSource.
Is anything wrong there???
I am also facing 1 more proble, sometiems DND events are getting fired on navigating through the nodes, even though i am not dragging the node. And getting the Below exception some times
java.lang.NullPointerExceptionat sun.awt.dnd.SunDropTargetContextPeer.handleMotionMessage(Unknown Source)
     at sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.eventLoop(Native Method)
     at sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.run(Unknown Source)
     at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
This exception I am not able to get who is throwing as all exceptions i am catching.
Please help me, if u had any idea about these problems.
