All of a sudden, I am unable to click-and-drag files into folders?

I have a 2012 Macbook Air 11". I was dragging files into folders and then all of a sudden I couldn't. All I can do is copy and paste...frustrating.
I tried accessibility settings, enabling dragging but that didn't change anything. Any suggestions?

Restart your Mac and try again.

    I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
    The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
    Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?

    Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
    One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
    iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

  • Unable to click and drag clips

    Hi, first time poster, also new to MacBook.
    I started using iMovie and all was well. However recently I am not able to click and drag clips into the project window...very odd... everything else appears to work...I can copy and paste which has other issues which can be avoided by dragging..
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Much thanks.

    However recently I am not able to click and drag clips into the project window...very odd... everything else appears to work...I can copy and paste which has other issues which can be avoided by dragging..
    Drag 'n drop of clips can sometimes have a problem with timing delays in deactivating the Event window and activating the Project window for receipt of the dropped content. Try using the "Add Selection" or delay dropping the content until the Project window is fully activated. If this doesn't work, then you may have an installation, plist, or similar problem.

  • I am unable to click and drag some songs to a playlist I just created. There is a red circle with a line diagonal through it when I attempt to drag it to the playlist?

    I am unable to add some songs to a playlist.  There is a red circle with a line diagnonally through it that appears when I click and drag to the new playlist.

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

  • I am unable to click and drag songs in order to arrange them in a playlist.  The tutorial says to simply highlight and drag the song to arrange them.   Any suggestions?  My version of iTunes is the current version.

    It should do. Which Playlist are you trying to re-arrange? Is it one you have created or one of the iTunes fixed ones? (Although it is possible to re-arrange the Recently Added Playlist, I would not recommend it.)

  • Unable to click and drag photos to trash, folders

    Working on downloading 2000 photos from cruise. 6.06 quit unexpectedly and lost whole library. Have recovered those but has happened twice since. Also CAN NOT CLICK AND DRAG PHOTOS ANYMORE!

    Sounds like a corrupted library - how did you recover from the problem? Have you rebuilt the library? using iPhoto? using iPhoto Library Manager?

  • On my imac, All of a sudden I am unable to send original emails with any attachments.  I can attach the file but when I try to send it, it won't send.  Also, if I am emailing back and forth as it gets longer, it no longer transmits

    On my imax, all of a sudden I am unable to send original emails with attachments of any size.  I can attached the file but when I try to transmit, it will not go.
    Also, if I am emailing back and forth, once there gets to be several threads, it will no longer transmit.  Any suggestions. I am using gmail in the apple mail system

    Mike,
    Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
    I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer.  Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected.  It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

  • I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro. I have bought it just 5 months back. All of a sudden, i am unable to turn the mac on. It doesn't even get Charged. What could be the issue ?

    I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro. I have bought it just 5 months back. All of a sudden, i am unable to turn the mac on. It doesn't even get Charged. What could be the issue ?

    If you're unable to turn it on, let alone even charge it then it definitely sounds like a battery issue to me. I'd wait for someone else to reply just to be sure but I think somehow the battery by the sounds of it must have died. However, I could be very wrong.
    If you're still under applecare which you should be then it should be an easy free fix. Hope this helps!

    In short, you have a problem we can't solve.
    I suggest you contact Apple support and make an appointment to get help.  Expect to pay for it.

    All of a sudden I am unable to receive e-mail through comcast on my PC. I am able to send e-mail. I can receive comcast e-mail on my phone and tablet. One help topic suggested I delete the password for my comcast mail and that I would be prompted to set up a new password. No such prompt appeared. I am wondering about help for this problem. I'm also wondering if I can delete the account nd add it again and what would be the ramifications of doing so.

  • All of a sudden I am unable to attach a file to my email without compressing

    All of a sudden I am unable to attach a file to my email without compressing. The email will show no attached file and then freezes and I am unable to add any content to body of email or change any of the content. I have to just delete the email and start over. If I zip the file it will show up in the body of the email and I am able to add content and send the email. This just stared happening, I had not changed any preferences or anything so I have no idea what happened.

  • I have been using the Adobe Digital for years.  All of a sudden, I am unable to complete a download

    I have been using Adobe Digital for years.  All of a sudden , I am unable to complete a download from my library to the Adobe Digital.  Can anyone help?

    Has anything happened like an update to Digital Editions?
    Two possibilities come to mind:
    between them they are the answer to a large number of ADE problems, but I can't promise they will help in your case.
    Also, a third possibility at the bottom.
    1) ~~~~~
    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
    In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people.  Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0
    2) ~~~~~~~~~
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1).  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
    3) ~~~~~~~~~~
    extension of (2).  ADE2.0 will often not work with Overdrive library books if a Sony eReader is plugged in.
    It isn't just that it won't interact with the Sony, it won't even operate properly on the book within ADE on the computer.
