Upgraded to OSX Mavericks and now dragging pictures from Facebook / Safari to iMessage no longer working

I used to drag pictures from Facebook via Safari and Firefox to the Messages app on my macbook but ever since i updated to OSX Mavericks , every time i drag a picture to the message box , the folder where the picture is saved is the one being shown
Attached is a screenshot of the occurence
Let me know if you guys have a fix for this
Thanks !

Hi,
Is the Pic being sent ?
If you use the spyglass icon at the right hand end it should open the FIle Transfer window which in turn  should indicate is it was "Sent"  or "Failed".
It may also show a spinning barber shop poll in indicate it is still trying to send  it.
Edit.
Test dragging my sig pic from here to Messages causes it to be zipped before sending

  • I have just upgraded to OSX Maverick and now my Apple TV has taken over my iTunes videos. I have tried turning off homeshare and iHave gone into system prefs and disabled the remote, but the problem persists. Any ideas.

    After upgrading to OSX Maverick my Apple TV  has taken control of my iTunes videos insisting I have to watch it on my TV. I have tried disabling home sharing on iTunes and on the Apple TV menu, I have also checked the disable Infrared facility in Systems Prefs Security. Even if I put the Apple TV in standby as soon as I hit a key on my iMac, Apple TV comes back on and on my Itunes screen I get the Apple TV logo imprinted on the screen, meaning I can no longer watch it on my MAC, I have run out of ideas. Can anyone help.

    I think you're headed the right direction. There is an AirPlay icon (on mine it is up near the play/pause controls) that I believe is used to set the default desitination for the video to play.
    I'd never seen your issue before, but opened iTunes on a recently-upgraded-to-Mavericks MacBook and it did exactly as you described. While the video was loading, I switched the AirPlay option to the computer instead of ATV and it began playing locally (after a delay as you'd mentioned). I then read this page, which is actually quite old: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1091073, which lead me to the icon near the play/pause button. It now has Computer selected on it, and defaults to play locally instead of the ATV even after quitting and reopening iTunes. I hope that is helpful.

    Do you have the lastest driver from Apple? Check here on the Apple Downloads for Printers.

  • I upgraded ipad to iOS5 and now it requires a passcode. My password no longer works.

    I upgraded my Ipad to iOS5 and I now have a screen asking for a passcode.  I type in the passcode and I get an error message.  What do I do?

    No idea what "tried everything" means.
    Here is how you troubleshoot a password problem.
    Go to your email providers web mail page and verify that you have a working username and password by logging into your account there. If you cannot log in there, look for the link to reset your password. Your email password is administered with your email provider.
    Once you have a working password you need to remove any stored passwords in Thunderbird and replace with the new, working password.
    From the menu bar select''' Tools-Options-Security-Passwords-Stored Passwords'''
    Remove the passwords for the problem account. Close Thunderbird and restart it. You will be asked for a password. Enter the new password.
    No menu bar with Tools? Press the '''alt '''key.
    FYI: Thunderbird settings are stored in a different file from the program. Removing the program and reinstalling just keeps you busy for a little while and rarely fixes anything. As you have seen the old settings are picked up when Thunderbird is reinstalled.

  • I just downloaded OSX maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending emails.  How can I go back to old drag groups or addresses to the box?

    I just downloaded OSX Maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending email.  How can I get back to dragging groups or individual contacts to emails?

    Starting to type a name and getting a list of matches is good but it's not a substitute for being able to choose twenty or thirty names from your address book and dragging them into the "To" field. Of course many contacts can be put into a group but I may want to send occasional emails to many people who don't fit any group, and there may be no need to create a group just for that email.
    If you agree please send an email to apple feedback for Maverick OS X.

    Gestures is not working like it did before. The side to side, forward back swipe, is very picky. Sometimes it takes four or five tries before it works. And yes I know how to do it. I have had a magic trackpad for about one year. And was greatly pleased by how it worked, BEFORE Mavericks. It has has indeed changed.

    Shut the power clear off, wait a minute or 2 and restart and see if that clears the problem.

  • My wife and I upgraded our computers to OSX Mavericks and now she has all my information on her computer. How can we solve this problem. We do not share our Info with each other. This is terrible. Please help asap. Thanking you in advance Larry

    When my wife and I upgraded to OSX Mavericks the person I was talking to on apple support said I could use My apple ID and password to up grade on my wife's computer also. Well after we got finished she had all my Info from my computer on hers. It took about 6 hours to install the whole upgrade. They said if you have any problems just to call back and we will help. Here it is on a Sunday and I call every 5 minutes and all I get is a busy signal. If they are not open on Sunday's then why don't the just say so.The number I keep calling is 1-888-263-3394.I don't understand anything about iCloud, maybe thats why all my Info is on hers to. Larry

    My wife uses my Apple ID and password to download and install all her software because that way we only pay for it once and get essentially a family license. Otherwise we would each have to purchase and pay for our own copy. However, that only applies when we are purchasing software from the App Store or the iTunes store. We each have our own individual iCloud accounts where we store our personal Contact, Calendar, and other data. You can change the Apple ID on your wife's computer by going to System Preferences > Accounts and choosing her account then clicking on Apple ID: Set.
    Now if you want to make things more intertwined you and your wife can share your contacts, calendars etc with one another with read only or read write priveleges.

  • Help! Upgraded to OSX Mavericks and lost my Photography Portfolio!

  • Upgraded to Mavericks and now my events from iPhone won't sync to iPad

    I updated to Mavericks and now I cannot get any events to transfer from my iPhone to either my Mac or my iPad.  I have read endless posts on this and have tried many of the suggestions.  I think both my phone and iPad are set up correctly to speak to each other via iCloud, but nothing seems to pass through the ether.  I know, from all my reading of other posts, I am not alone in not being very impressed with Mavericks but I should think by now, Apple would have solved our collective problems and concerns.

    Does anyone know how to get the version for Lion?
    I just asked that in another thread:
    Does Safari go the way of MobileMe?
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15790649
    The Safari download page specifically says the version is for Snow Leopard, and only offers this version, and when I try to install it, the routine gets blocked complaining that it needs Snow Leopard.
    I also tried to simply remove the app in order to use Software Update. But this is blocked as well.

  • I have just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and I have an annoying issue, this happened after I used clean mymac app and do some routine scanning. After it was done, I have noticed that Preview app doesn't work anymore, it just keeps crashing up until now

    Anyone having issues of Preview.app crashing in OSX Mavericks?

    No but CleanMyMac ca cause destructive issues to your system. I would recommend uninstalling it completely as per the Developers instructions, and if Preview still is not working, then chances are good that CleanMyMac has corrupted it and you may need to reinstall Mavericks (after backing up your system)
