Why cant i read and rite it!!!!

Hi Flash_Man,
If it's formatted NTFS, Macs can only read it. It needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended or FAT32 (MS-DOS) for a Mac to be able to write to it.

To make it display on the desktop, Finder > Preferences > General tab > check external disks.
The drive might be formatted NTFS for Windows which is treated as read-only on the Mac. Need to reformat it using disk utility.

You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.
Or even better while the iPhone is connected to my PC can I view the address book on the iPhone and make changes using my PC keyboard?
No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

Does your cellular plan include MMS messaging? Do you have cellular data turned on?

Why cant i talk and surf at the same time?

Why cant i talk and surf at the same time? Got lost yesterday and while on the phone i couldn't search store web to get the address. Perfect timing to figure this out; when you're lost. This is a MAJOR problem for me and anyone on the go. WHEN WILL THIS BE FIXED??? I will not hesitate to return this phone as im sure all TURBO users feel the same. Someone said the MOTO X was the same way... is it still...why hasn't then been fixed by now? Which now makes me wonder if this wasn't an oversight but something intentional. Why did they hide the fact that they knew this was going on? i should have been told that this capability wasn't available on the TURBO at time of purchase. FIX IT NOW!

Then you have had phones WITHOUT the capability of talk/surf at the same time. If you don't realize this, then you don't(or at least didn't) use it as often as you think. Original Droid didn't have this capability. Droid X didn't have this capability. Droid X2 didn't have this capability. For the most part(there may have been exceptions of which I am unaware), NO Verizon phone had this capability until 4G phones and then ONLY when on a 4G LTE signal. 4G phones on a 3G signal did not/do not have this capability.

Personally, I check these things on EVERY phone before I purchase. This is just a given.

Why cant I drag and drop into playlists

I used to be able to drop and drag inrto playlists. Now I get a message which says press + button to add, but there seems no way of doing it. I'm using windows 7

Apple Support Communities updatesI’ve tried the control-I route and then tried to locate the file without success. What I get as a file location starts with //localhost/C:/Users. It may also be useful to know that most/all the missing files seem to have been copied from CDs. I can’t be sure if it’s all because the whole music file has nearly 9000 entries! The ones that still seem to work were copied from an external hard drive.

why cant I drag and drop into playlists
                                The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. (In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows if this might apply.)
                                Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
                                In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Although it says something like "use the same location" it expects to find the tracks in the same artist & album layout that it generates, not all in one big folder.
                                If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

Why Cant I Drag And Drop Music And Movies to My iPOD?

Why does Apple make this so hard? I dont want to sync, everytime I do I lose everything and I dont like keeping a separate folder with my tunes I like to listen to all the time and then I dont have the time to go through 50 gig of music to uncheck or check what I want on my ipod.... Why cant I just drag and drop to my Ipod? Why do I need itunes is there another way to get music and videos on my ipod other than itunes?

Also, I cant just look up what my ipod has on it all ready to delete some videos or music. It wants to sync up with my hard drive then it deletes everything.
Sorry but I am way confused on this. I was really used to my basic MP3 player where I have folders on my drive that I just drag and drop/delete as easy as that.

What error messages are you getting? What trouble shooting steps have you already taken? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Have you checked Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging to make sure that it's set to "On"? Have you contacted your carrier to make sure your account is still properly provisioned?

Why cant I copy and paste local links (file:/// or bookmarks) into an editable page (browser or email) in Fx 4 or 5, as I COULD in Fx 3?

During the time I was using Fx 3, I found out that I could copy and past links and bookmark folders into an editable page in firefox, and manipulate those links just as I could in my emails for instance -- copy and paste to my hearts content! and the links would remain clickable--
now, having switched to Fx 4, and then a week later Fx 5, I find out that in neither of these versions can I still do this same operation-- the links from file (file:///) and bookmarks to local pages (including about:config, or about:blank) used to show up in an editable page (and then saved in the scrapbook extension, but even if saved onboard my disk, no matter) as a clickable link-- (no, about config would not open up from a saved page, Im trying to remember more examples here, the LINK would still be a correct hyperlink)
now, in Fx 4 and 5, these links are copied to the clipboard as text only!
this saddens greatly-- I was making wonderful use of this feature back in Fx 3.6-- but Fx 5 really is faster, and so far, ALL the extensions Ive come to LOVE still work great in Fx5, and things happen faster
can someone tell me why,
and
is there a config setting, or some other solution that can change this back for me?
("3 people have this problem 2 new this week")
THANK YOU "I have this problem too" clickers!!!
Im still checking back here regularly to find out WHY!?
