Updated iPhoto last night...Now, can't copy/paste or drag/drop images to folders/thumb drives outside of iPhoto

As the title states, I updated iPhoto last night as per suggestion from the App store.
It installed, and I went back to work using it. Within a few minutes, iPhoto crashed. I sent the report to Apple.
When i opened iPhoto back up, it said it found inconsistencies and needed to repair. so i let it repair, which took a while...when it was done, i went back to work editing some photos from a recent shoot. It almost crashed again while i was working and then it came out of it. Anyways, i shut down everything after a bit of work and all was good in the world...until this morning.
I went to get the images out of iPhoto and onto a thumb drive, but it wouldn't let me. I selected 50 images, copied them, and went to paste in the folder on the thumb drive...but it only pasted 10 of the 50 images. so i tried dragging them all and dropping them into the folder. nothing happened. it has done this to me once before, and when it did, i restarted and tried again and it worked...this time, i restarted and tried again and it kept doing the same thing. so i shut it down, did a cold boot, got everything back up, and tried again...still doing the same thing.
It seems like every time i do an upgrade to iPhoto it causes some kind of problem. it never crashed on me until i did the first update, and since then the stability has been a real issue.
So anyways, i didn't have a lot of time this morning before i had to go to work to try to figure this out, BUT, i did notice that it would allow me to drag and drop 1 image at a time...and that would save to the folder i selected...but i don't have time to do 1 image at a time...EVER! i am a photographer and need to drag and drop hundreds of images at a time.
Can anyone help?
thanks!
Joe

Thanks for the response, Larry!
I will try that when I get home and see if it works. Will update the thread with the results then.
I hope it works as you described, but it is/was so much easier to just be able to select the photos in iPhoto and drag/drop them directly into the folder on the thumb drive...it's odd it doesn't work anymore...?

updated my i Phone 4 s to os 8 last night now can't get into my apps it requests i sign into iCLOUD HELP PLEASE

Before I updated this I turned my phone on, entered my password and if I pressed one of the apps it immediately went into that with no problem. Since updating it immediately I press to go into an app it comes with a big white square on the screen stating "sign into iCloud" Enter the Apple ID password for my email address. Then asks for my password to be entered. If i press cancel it reverts to the app for 1 second then goes back to the above screen. The only other option is to sign into iCloud. I have never used iCloud before. Can you help please.

Copy/paste and drag/drop not working in Mt. Lion

After two weeks of searching, I can not find the hangup which is causing my iMac 27" 10.8 to stop copy/paste and drag/drop following successfully doing the same shortly after startup. In Safe Mode, it doesn't happen, so I'm wondering how to track down this problem (extension?). I have to restart in order to get it functioning again after a short time of working. There has to be some kind of timing, like a program installed with a time limit which probably was forgotten in Lion and then reared its ugly head in Mt. Lion. Any suggestions for tracking this puppy? Or is there a program I could buy to do so?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Can't copy pdf via drag & drop to iBooks

Hi everybody,
I wanted to copy some PDFs to my iPad via drag & drop and iTunes but I am suffering under the problem that nothing happens.
I even get not displayed a "+" on my cursor and everything I have tried, nothing is copied to the ipad..
iPad is running under iOs 4.3 and iTunes is up-to-date.

I thought you were trying to find out how to drag and drop PDF files in your iTunes library in order to sync to your iPad but there are ways of sending files without syncing.
If it is just a PDF file - not a book - you can attach the file to an email and send it yourself from your computer to the iPad, open it and choose the option of open in iBooks. When you open the file in your email, tap the curved arrow icon in the upper right corner and select open in iBooks. Then the PDF will be stored in books for later viewing.
You can also sync PDF files with apps like Dropbox using WiFi. There are other apps available that will do the same thing.

Can I create a Win 7 Recovery Image *Bootable* USB THUMB DRIVE? -- (Instead of cd/dvd)

Hi
Can someone share how to create a
Windows 7 Recovery Image USB THUMB BOOTABLE DRIVE? -- I mean in place of the Boot DVD that Windows Backup offers to create after you've created an image?
I assume that there must be a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!!

Juke, Thanks, but my question remains not answered,
I only want to know one thing.
***How do I create a USB BOOT "DISK" using a USB Drive.  Not the IMAGE --just the boot files
     In other words, I want my 2 gig USB THUMB DRIVE to behave just like the Recovery CD/DVD.
     I only want the steps of how to create the BOOTABLE USB.
     (Forget about the image --- I keep the image on on another hard drive, and NOT the USB)
See the following guide to make a recovery USB drive:

Can't Copy/Paset or Drag/Drop

For some reason over the last two days i've lost the ability to cut and paste (either via shortcuts or the menus) in almost all applications. I've also lost the ability to drag and drop icons, files, folder, etc....
Anyone else suffering from this problem or know a fix????
I can't get much done!

Sounds like a permissions problem. I would repair disk permissions. If that doesn't fix it, see if it's a system prefs issue by creating a new account and logging into it.If it is fine under that login, try copying the finder and system preferences from the home folder>Library>Preferences of the new account into the problem one. If the problem persists, you may be looking at an archive and install re-install of the system.

HT204076 Since I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.2 last night, I can no longer connect to my imaps server.

Since I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.2 last night, I can no longer connect to my imaps server. Other clients can connect to the server. Rebooting the device is no help. Before the update (i.e. 8.1.1), it was working fine. Is this a known issue?

No, it is not a known issue. It is a known non-issue. Try resetting your IMAP login ID and password. Both the incoming and outgoing. If that fails delete the account reboot the phone, and add it back.

I reset all the settings last night, now I cant get any icons up, plus I'm on a local computer that cant download itunes, anyone know how i can get my screen back to normal? All it shows is the itunes sybol with the usb cord connecting to it.

Your only option at this point is to connect the device to a computer running iTunes so you can restore it.

Hi Terri,
I am assuming that you are using a Mac. Update for 17.0.1 have been pulled off the server for Mac(see this - https://blogs.adobe.com/adobeillustrator/2013/11/illustrator-cc-updates-now-available.html
Please uninstall AI CC 17.0.1 & re-install again. You will be back on to the 17.0.0 version. This is MAC only change.
Please let us know if you are facing this issue on Win.
Thanks,

Downloaded latest update ios 5.1.1.last night - now have problem with my email some being sent others not - any ideas?

Downloaded latest update for iphone 4 ios 5.1.1. last night - now having problems with my emails - all show being sent - but not being received also no b.c.c. to myself coming up on iphone. Any ideas??

The passcode settings simply give you the option of having the passcode lock immediately you lock the screen, or after a delay period. If you set a delay the passcode lock will not activate for the period of the delay. I have mine set to one minute. It is a "convenience" measure to save me having to re-enter the passcode if I lock the screen then immediately remember that there was something else I wanted to do. Obviously this entails a small compromise on security and if you are at all concerned then you should set the passcode to "Immediately". It really has nothing to do with the camera short-cut (though loads of users seem to have run away with this notion). It would be the same if you just did "slide to unlock" during the delay period.

Thanks for posting oldbuck!
Glad to hear you were able to resolve the freezing issue on your DROID Incredible! I would be happy to see if we can restore your contacts.
I know you mentioned you didn't have an active Backup Assistant account at the time of the update, however, did you have a Google account setup on your device prior to the update? If so, check on www.gmail.com to see if your contacts are backed up in the "Contacts" section. If they are you can just readd the Google account to your device and enable the "Sync Contacts", and all of your contacts will be synced back to your device.
I trust I have answered your question, and have addressed your concerns.

Since last night I can open email but not the body of it, nor can I type anything in a new message. Everything else looks normal.

I am having the same problem. As recently as this morning, I could read entire hotmail emails on my iPhone 4 now, I can see only the sender & subject. What us up? Any solutions? Thank you.
