Unable to drag any content to 2nd display monitor

iMac 2011. Mavericks 10.9.5
I have connected the 2nd monitor to the iMac with a newly purchased mini display port to VGA adaptor. The cursor shows up on the 2nd monitor but I am not able to drag any open document or file or any content whatsoever from the iMac onto the 2nd monitor. I have tried resizing the size of the content as the 2nd monitor is smaller than the imac screen but no luck and yet the cursor is able to move freely between the two displays. I have tried playing with all the settings in 'Display' but still no luck. There is a wall paper and a tool bar display on the 2nd monitor and the cursor shows up as previously stated but I cannot drag content oAny suggestions?

Not sure if this will fix it, but it might. Open System Preferences, click Mission Control, and if "Displays Have Separate Spaces" is turned on, turn that off. As it says, you should then log out and back in (or restart). Then try again to move the content to the second monitor.

Unable to drag any music into my phone play lists

I have just sync'd my phone and all the music in my play lists have been erased. I can still see them as purchases but I'm unable to drag any of them back into play lists to recreate them. I get the circle with a line through it when I attempt to. Any ideas its driving me potty.. the only things that have changed are updating the itunes software as promted. I have used a PC elsewhere since but have made sure that its authourised etc and all seems fine. Any help greatly appreciated??

Did you try clicking on the check mark (to remove the check mark) and then dragging the CD content to your Shuffle? I kept having problems dragging the CD to the Shuffle. Then I Unchecked a track and dragged over. Voila!
If you click on all the check marks on the CD, then highlight the first track, then while holding "shift" click on the last track - and drag it over to the Shuffle - you won't have to go back and forth dragging tracts to the Shuffle.
Now, I realize that I may have been the last person in the world to figure this out - but I was so excited when I did, and it makes life so e-z!

I am unable to drag any playlists to my ipod- the circle with red line through it shows up- what is up ?

I am unable to drag any playlists to my ipod- the circle with red line through it shows up and precludes it from being accepted- what is up ?

Though I have doubts for success, you might try a SMC reset. It can do no harm. Otherwise, barring suggestions from others, the Apple Store or qualified repair facility is the last option.

Unable to drag any titles.

Every time I create a title for my movie I am unable to drag it into the playback. I can preview it and that is all. The update button is not highlighted and I try and select the title but nothing happens. Is anyone else having this problem or is there something I have overlooked.

I am having the same problem. I'm using an older version (iMovieHD 5.0.2)
I have 15 photos I want to make into a movie. Each photo needs a different title.
I can type the text of the title and preview it. But I am unable to drag the title anywhere. In clip view & timeline view, there is no way to drag the title. And the 'update' button is not highlighted.
Help me please... I've spent hours trying to work this out...

Problems facing....
My cinema HD is set to primary display and Cinema as 2nd display. Everything was working fine but suddenly my 2nd display stopped working. It remains black as if its in sleep mood. The small power led light on the monitor is On(not blinking). In Graphics/Displays shows both monitors are connected. I can drag any window to the 2nd display as if its working but its still black. In display preferences it shows both monitor on arrangement section. I can even change the resolution size of both monitors.
My cinema display monitor has no problem. I have checked it already. I have swapped the DVI ports at the back of my cpu but it seems only the 2nd port is giving this problem. As if no matter what my 2nd port of graphics card is on sleep mood. I have taken it to our local apple center and both ports were working fine there, the only difference is they checked it using none apple lcd monitor. But when I brought it back to office, it had the same problem again. The strange thing is....one day while I was working the 2nd display suddenly appeared but when I restarted my mac, it went back to the same problem. Till now my 2nd display not showing anymore. I have reinstalled to new OSx but the problem remains. So can anyone pls tell me how I can solve this problem.
thanks
<Edited by Host>

only the 2nd port is giving this problem
You have an older card, and the second port is flaky. The problem follows the port.
I am sorry to be so blunt, but the problem is YOU.
No one wants to be the one to club you on the head and point out that your card is dying, and you are going to have to get a new(er) one. There is no "quick fix" for dying Hardware, and no fix at all for you when you will not connect the dots and realize your card is on its last legs.
If running 10.6.4 or later, you can install the 5770 and it will work, but not at quite the advertised speeds if your slot will only go up to 8x.

Unable to see any content in NWBC even after designing structure through PFCG Menu

Hello Everyone
As this is abit new for me , It would be helpful if you can share your valuble inputs on this particular issue.
Even after the role is designed in PFCG, When trying to check the same through NWBC, there is no content that is visible.Only the webdynpro added are visible.
Can I know what is difference between adding a T-code and adding a Service( authorization default values ) in PFCG Role Menu ?
Will adding only Service wont server this purpose ?
Is it mandatory to Add T-code in role menu inorder to fetch data through NWBC or is there an alternate way available ?
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
I'd suggest you take a look at the help guide here Navigation Tree - SAP NetWeaver Business Client - SAP Library note the section:
For NWBC, you can insert the following objects in the menu tree:
Transaction code
Web Dynpro ABAP application
BSP application
Web address or file
Generic Web address (URL template)
Web client UI applications
So if you want something to be visible in the menu in NWBC you need it to be one of the above. In your screenshot you have added a Service Authorization (I think)... that won't show you anything in the menu.
Hth,
Simon

Unable to drag any clips from browser to anywhere

I can no longer drag clips from my browser to viewer or time line. What gives? I did a search with no luck. This has got to be an easy one.

Need more info.
You say you can no longer drag the clips. Does that mean you have been successfully doing it for quite a long time?
Trashing the preferences is the first thing to try when programs start misbehaving:-

Flash problem w/Chrome some of us are having (OS X) may be an Apple problem w/2nd display/monitor

My problem, which developed in last couple days, of Google Chrome freezing / not working on pages with Flash player, but Flash player working just fine in Safari and Firefox, on OS X, goes away when I disconnect 2nd monitor. Chrome devs seem to be working on a fix. See here for more: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=152525

Unplugging my external monitor made the problem disappear on my laptop (2011 Macbook Pro). Now, if I open a new Flash-included page with my external monitor connected, the page still freezes. But if I disconnect the 2nd screen until the page and Flash are ready to go on just the laptop, I can plug the external monitor back in and then the page will continue to work.

2nd Display content

I'm able to connect my laptop to my TV and get a 2nd display which contains the Dock while my laptop retains the desktop folders. I know this is a simple question, but how do I direct items like videos or photos to show up on the 2nd display? I can drag windows onto the 2nd display but how do I get Full Screen to show up on 2nd display?

how do I get Full Screen to show up on 2nd display?
It depends on the application. For QuickTime Player 7 (Utilities folder), use "Present Movie" in its "View" menu. For VLC, it's "Full Screen Video Device" in its "Video" menu. For MPlayer OSX Extended, it's "Fullscreen Device" in it's "Movie" menu.

Unable to drag songs within iTunes.

I am trying to move a song from my computer library music to my iPod and am unable to. I am unable to drag any song anywhere, even to a playlist. Is there a solution?

Make sure you have enough room for the songs on your iPod and that they aren't already synced to the iPod.
You could also try syncing the songs to the iPod automatically, to see if they are able to sync.
If that doesn't help, try restoring the iPod.

This is a known issue with the v25 Adobe Content Viewer. It is fixed with the v26 version, which is currently awaiting approval from Apple. If you have a Pro or Enterprise subscription to DPS, you can build a custom Adobe Content Viewer.

2nd Display & iMac w/ 2 Different Sets of Content from Same iMac

Can I do this? (How can I do this?) I'd like to connect a second display to my iMac and use the iMac to generate content (like live feeds or video content from CNN.com) to play on the second display while I "work" on the iMac and its screen. Thus, each display have its own content--but the content is generated by the one iMac. Could I use a HD tv as the second display?
Thanks for your guidance.
Bill

Depends on the iMac, but some of them do support this.
Look yours up at http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html and look for the section about displays and 2nd display support under your model.
With the second display connected to the appropriate port, you use your Displays System Preferences to configure them. If you choose "mirror" both displays show the same thing. If you choose to not mirror, you can have an "extended desktop where you can place different windows on different monitors and do exactly what you want to do. AN HD TV might be usable but you have to look up what your iMac can handle in terms of pixels and resolution and compare that to your HD TV specs. You can certainly buy inexpensive monitors to use if your HD TV is compatible.

HT204291 I have downloaded latest software to my Apple TV, but I am unable to get the airplay icon to display on either my iPhone5 or iPad2. Both have iOS7 installed. The Apple TV connects to the wifi successfully. Any ideas please?

I have downloaded the latest software to my Apple TV, but I am unable to get the airplay icon to display on either my iPhone5 or iPad2. Both have iOS7 installed. The Apple TV connects to the wifi successfully. Any ideas please?

Can we assume you are bringing up the "Control Center" and the Airplay icon is not there?

Do you have the "AirDrop" icon?
