Why can't i drag albums created in iPhoto onto desktop

or into Photobox?
Thanks

This seems to be a desktop issue rather than an iPhoto one, as you can't drag from Mail either.
So I'd start by repairing permissions.
Can you export to the desktop?

Why can't I drag a photo from iPhoto to a folder?

You guys - I used to be able to drag photos from iPhoto to pretty much wherever I wanted. I'm currently trying to drag them to a folder, but it doesn't work.
I tried to email them to myself, THEN drag them into said folder, still doesn't work.
I had to open each of them in Preview, then save them as new files to the folder.
WHAT!? That's insane. Am I missing something or have all of the updates changed things so drastically!?
All of my business is up to date. If this is what it's like updated, that is a bummer.

Why can't I drag one folder into anoth

If I create a new folder within Zen Media Explorer, why can I not drag another folder into it's
This is how I arrange my MP3 albums on my PC ARTIST NAME folder--->ALBUM NAME folder--->MP3 TRACKS
but when I use media explorer to transfer just one album from a multi album folder it transfers it without creating a folder of the artist name therefore I would have to do it manually, but thats isn't possible either.
Now although this is fine on the player (if ID3 tags are completed) when I come back to media player I don't have the artist name info.
Am I doing something wrong or has anybody else found this to be a problem
Thanks

Thanks Jerry. I just found this out by reading the "What has been lost in Numbers 3.0 upgrade" post by virtue of posing my question here ... In desperation, I downloaded FilemakerPro 13 trial and I am getting quite excited by this although I have commented to Apple that they may want to think about using the now redundant iWeb developers to build a new iWeb with DB capabilities integrating the new Numbers with all it's 09 features restored for ease of use. Will they listen? I doubt it. Ha. Cheers

Why can't i drag clips to timeline?

I'm new.
Why can't i drag clips to timeline? I set in and out points but clips will not drag.

So it sounds like you're dragging from the source monitor and not from the project window. Either way, is it creating a new sequence for you when you drop it in over the blank timeline? If not what IS it doing? What version of pr are you using?

Yes they can, you are correct. I should have maybe said that in my post. I was merely trying to say that I believe they want to keep the iPhone more organized. I got out of dragging and dropping to my iPod after I created my first playlist. Makes things a lot eaiser just to sync a list.

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5 Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library... or File/Add Folder to Library...
Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
Do either of the following:
1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
Steps
1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
To resolve it from within Itunes I did : Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
Click OK.
Closed iTunes/
Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
Works fine now.

Why am I having trouble importing vCards? I follow the Help Center instructions by dragging and dropping, but some don't sync into the cloud. And why can't I drag multiple vCards? I have over 4,000. Please tell me I don't have to do one at a time?

Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

I don't know why, as we are all users here no one will really know why.
I assume it's because TVs only play wide video.
But if you really want to see it in future I suggest you tell Apple:

How can i upload and/or allow others to see an album created on iPhoto?

does anyone know how to either upload and/or allow others to see an album created in Iphoto?

If you are using the latest version of iPhoto on OS X Mountain Lion you can create Shared Photo Streams.
Select the photos you want to share, click Share in the bottom right, and choose Photo Stream then click New Photo Stream. To allow the photos to be viewed on the web (for people who don't have iPhoto or an iOS device) make sure the "Public Website" option is checked.
The Share menu also gives you an array of different options to share photos, from Facebook and Twitter, Flickr, Email, and burning a CD or DVD.
