Unable to drag to re-sort in collections

Suddenly after updating I am no longer drag to re-sort an image within a collection.
I get this error:
Datavase "[The location of my catalog.lrcat":
AgLibraryCollectionimageOzsortorder.positionincollection may not be NULL
Statement: INSERT OR REPLACE INTO AgLibraryCollectionImageOzSortOrder
(Collectionimage, collection, positionincollection, ozSortOrder )
VALUES( ?, ?, ?, ? )
Any ideas?

Some others have reported this on the official feedback forum:

Unable to drag to manually sort reminders list in iCal

Hi and thanks in advance for your help.
I run Mac OS X 10.7.5.
I find myself unable to manually sort reminders in iCal by dragging them up or down. If I click on the text of the reminder or the checkbox, I am able to drag it anywhere but I can't "release it". If I release my click, it goes back to it's original position and doesn't bump the other reminder down the list. I hope I am making sense.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Any help?
Thanks!

Unable to drag and drop betwen collections

I seem to be chronically unable to drag a phot from one collection to another in the manner set forth in the documentation. It would also be nice to be able to frag a phot from a folder into a collection.

This is doable. However, you have to drag from the center of an image thumbnail, not the cell or boarder.
It is not like dragging a window.

Im unable to drag mp4 movies into itunes and sync to my ipad2 after updating itunes to 10.5.2.11? Im using Windows7. I was able to before this update, why?

I see same question with itunes not accepting mp4 videos and no answers? Has anyone been able to sort this out or is it a software problem being attended by apple? Please reply?

Unable to Drag and Drop Yahoo emails to folders (Used to work. Still works fine on IE)

Unable to Drag and Drop Yahoo emails to Yahoo Email folders using Firefox. I am sure this worked until recently.
I am still able to Drag and Drop in the same yahoo sign on using Internet Explorer.

I've found it works for some. I think it will only work if it can figure out which one to put it in. If it ins't capable or figuring that out, it won't work. I imagine if you drag several, and if even one can't be sorted, it will reject them all.

Suddenly unable to drag objects

I installed Muse 2 days ago and I've had 3-4 instances where everything will work perfectly and suddenly I'm unable to drag objects. I can select and re-size them, so the objects aren't locked, but I can't drag and re-position anything (text, boxes, etc.). If I exit out of the program and re-open it, the problem is temporarily fixed (until it happens again after ~30 minutes of use).
Does anyone else have this problem? Is it a bug or am I repeatedly & accidentally toggling some feature that I'm unaware of?

Yup that's a bug. From what we can tell, something goes wrong on one drag operation and after that, we can't start another drag. Quit and relaunch is the only alternative.
So far we don't have any reproducible cases to help us track this down, since it happens to you fairly regularly any information you can provide would be helpful: Mac or Windows?
What sort of drag was the last one to succeed before they stopped working, and what was the first to fail? Reposition something, drag in an image to load the place gun, etc...
Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience...

Unable to drag photos onto folder in desktop

just recently i have been trying to drag photos from iphoto onto a folder in my desktop and am unable to. it will show the circle with the white line prohibiting this move. i attempted to look for permissions, etc. but can't. please help.

Thanks for the response but this does not solve the problem. Regardless of the collection selected I still get the full circle with a line through the center. When grabbing the photo the thumbnail appears but as soon as I drag the photo into the collections panel the thumbnail disappears and the full circle with the line appears.

Problems sorting LR collections

This is a slightly long story but necessary to explain the help I need and why! I have some 18000 photos which have been collected over several years and which in some cases have come from different cameras (metadata capture dates and file numbers in different formats) and from slides which have been digitized but now think they were taken (captured) on the date they were digitized. After a lot of effort I have grouped the photos into chronological LR collections and have rated them so that I now have about 1500 photos "of interest" contained in these collections. The leading characters of the collection names are in the format "year/month" (eg 1998/03) followed by a short text description. These now reside in about 50 different LR collections. The number of photos in each collection varies between 1 and 43.
What I want to do is condense these 50 collections into a single master collection but keep them in the same chronological order Once I have done this I can use LR to apply an "indexing" number to all 1500 photos. I can then export the photos to a catalog and use the index for future sorting as I further refine the photos before printing. I will not need to worry about differing file names and inaccurate capture dates.
I found a tutorial showing how to condense groups of catalogs into a master catalog but there seems no similar option to group collections which I find hard to believe. I have the latest LR5.7.1 version.

To build on Modesto's comments: While collections allow you to provide a custom (manual) sort order, collection sets do not. You can see that by clicking on the Sort: dropdown in the toolbar at the bottom of Library grid mode when you have a collection set selected in the Collections panel:
So when you select a collect set, it will be ordered by Capture Time or some other criteria, but not by manual orders you imposed on each of its collections.
Rather than making a collection set, you could make another collection called "Master" and then add all of the pics in each of your other collections to Master in turn. Master will retain the order of the pics in which you added them. To make that go fast, right-click Master in the Collections panel and do Set As Target Collection. Then in chronological order, select each source collection in the collections panel. Do Edit > Select All to select all the pics in the collection, then right-click the pics and do Add To Target Collection ("B" is the keyboard shortcut).
Of course, if you update one of the individual collections, you'll have to manually update Master, which probably isn't what you want.
Stepping back, you're trying to use collections for something for which they're not designed. You want to set and maintain the chronological ordering of pics, and digital-asset-management tools like Lightroom provide a number of tools to let you use the "capture date" metadata field to do precisely that. You set the capture date of each pic, and then the tools will let you sort, slice, and dice by date very easily.
Digital cameras make this nearly painless, since they automatically set the capture date of pics. But the rub you've encountered is that you've got a large number of scans, and scanner software doesn't set the capture date for you (how could it? -- it doesn't know what the date should be).   So you need to set the capture date of your pics.   Unfortunately, LR was explicitly designed primarily for manipulating pics from digital cameras, and while many of us use LR to also manage scans, LR itself doesn't make it that easy, starting with its clunky Edit Capture Date command.
When I scan a group of slides, they're typically grouped by time (e.g. in numeric order, or from the same year, or whatever). I import the scans into LR, and then use a temporary collection to put them in proper chronological order, using the date and slide number printed on the slide.   Typically, I know the year and month but not the day or time of a group, so I'd like to set all the pics in the group to have capture dates, say, of 1961/2/1 12:00:01, 1961/2/1 12:00:02, 1961/2/1 12:00:03, etc. The clunky LR Edit Capture Command would make that exceedingly painful, but luckily, there are a couple of plugins, such as ExifMeta and Capture Time To Exif, that make it very easy.
While this is a little more work than dragging each photo manually into a collection, as you've been doing, it's really not that much more work, and you're left with your pics assigned capture dates that any software tool can use to display and organize.
You've already got your collections organized by year and month, so using ExifMeta to assign capture dates to your scans shouldn't be that hard.

I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please?

I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please, by the way the "L" doesn't appear in the bottom left hand corner either? and by the way how can I get rid of that irritating Blue badge saying "AutoFill your contact details" all mine are in "address book" already!

You can't drag a transition into the canvas. If you're dragginmg a transition from the effects tab you drag it between the edit point of two clips in the timeline.
Make sure show edit overlays is turned on in the Canvas view popup.

I am unable to drag an e-mail address to another folder on some occassions

I have my customers e-mail addresses broken into several alphabetical folders. I have a collected address folder that whenever I e-mail someone, their e-mail address is stored in that folder. I then drag the address from the collected folder to the correct alphabetized folder, but sometimes it will not show up in that particular folder. I am however able to sometimes drag it to the next folder down, but it is not in the correct alphabetical order. What would cause this and how can I fix it? Someone is more than welcome to call me at 757-428-3726 during the week from 10-6 Eastern time, or e-mail back at [email protected] Very frustrating. Thank you in advance.
Brian

When an address book doesn't accept additions or deletions, it is probably corrupted. The usual remedy is to export it to an LDIF file, delete the associated mab file from the profile, then import the LDIF:

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.

import java.util.*;
public class a implements Comparator
     /** compare the objects base on their types
     *     @obj1 the first object to be compared
     *     @obj2 the second object to compare with the first object
     public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2)
     if (obj1 == obj2)
          return 0;
     if (obj1 == null || obj2 == null)
          return 0;
     if (!(obj1 instanceof Call) || !(obj2 instanceof Call))
          return 0;
     Call lhs = (Call) obj1;
     Call rhs = (Call) obj2;
     int s = lhs.getDate().compareTo(rhs.getDate());
     if (s != 0)
          return s;

Unable to drag and drop files or folders

Hi
I'm unable to drag and drop files or folders. I can't drag from a folder to desktop, I can't drag from finder. I can't move files around. I can't drag from itunes into ipod.
I've run Onyx and disk permission repair, cleaned all caches etc, all to no avail.
Get info tells me I have read and write permissions.
Can someone please help me.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem, the terminal command to make that testfile worked, guess its a good sign but i wouldn't know, I also have a couple of extra problems:
It started with VisualHub saying "Critical componats of Mac OS X are missing or damaged on your system, Without them, VisualHub is unable to continue. The affected componats is/are: - /tmp Temporary Directory. Try Repairing Permissions using Disk Utility"
So i did that using OnyX, rebooted, still didn't work, so i remember hearing about how reinstalling .3 of 10.5.3 can help replace files that are lost, so i did that and thats where it went wrong, it rebooted and it seemed to go good, but then i noticed a big ? where Camino is meant to be on my Dock and i looked in my stack and it was gone, Safari would crash on the 5th letter i typed anywhere on the browser, (Safari and Webkit Nightly) At least Firefox works so i can post this, Spotlight is gone from the menu bar, i can't drag anything from the dock and i can't drag safari from the App stack or the dock crashes.
The thing that worries me is why was Camino deleted? and Safari crashing?
If anyone has a solution to this you would be a HUGE help, i really don't want to reformat my mac because i don't have anywhere to backup my files, i don't have the money for a decent sized HDD to backup into.
Thanks all who help!!!
