Can't Click and Drag Icons/Files

Hi,
I am having issues with my Macbook Pro 13inch trackpad.
I can't click anything and drag any icons/files as I usually could. I also cannot select and highlight texts too.
Earlier I was advised by someone on Apple Discussions Community to clean the trackpad for about 2 min with a
dampcloth. Later, it seemed to work as usual but after 3 weeks I'm facing the problem yet again.
Anyone has a solution for this problem ?

If the issue is with pressing the trackpad to click, if that is what you mean by clicking and dragging issues, more often than not it will be an issue with the trackpad itself and you may need a repair. The trackpad can be replaced on your Mac.

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 if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area. I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest

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...

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...

I can't click and drag my Frank Deford Podcast to my Ipod. I have being doing it for years and about a month ago it stopped working. I do not understand

I can't 'click and drag' in the apps page to upload like it directs

I just signed up to creative cloud. I try to click and drag to uplaod in the apps page but nothing happens. I have used Photoshop and Indesign before as a trial. When I try to go through different pages to upload these programs through my creative cloud, it only gives me an option to 'buy'. What the hell is going on and why does Adobe website have to be so complicated?

You cannot upload to the Creative Cloud Apps page at https://creative.adobe.com/apps, but you can upload to the Creative Cloud Files page at https://creative.adobe.com/files. Click on the Files link in the top left of the page.
You will now be able to drag and drop files from the Windows Explorer or Mac OS X Finder onto the page and have them upload. The other way to upload is to use the Upload menu item after clicking on the blue Actions button in the top right.
And if instead you are trying to download and install an application here is help for that:
You should be able to sign in with your Adobe ID to the Creative Cloud Apps page at https://creative.adobe.com/apps and click the Download link for an application. The first time the Adobe Application Manager (AAM) will download and install. After that AAM will handle installing applications.
If AAM is not installing correctly you can install it manually from here:

Since upgrading to Mavericks I can't click and drag or unlock to make changes.

As the title says, I upgraded to Mavericks, and since then, I haven't been able to click and drag anything from my desktop / finder etc. I can however drag windows around. I've check in the accessabiltiies options for the drag locking and that is set how it should be, but still hasn't fixed anythi
I also read that people had similar problems and tried a few of the fixes like force it to sleep and wake up. That didn't work, I also was going to make a new user, however it appears I am unable to unlock the lock in the bottom left. It blinks but doesnt unlock to make changes
Anyone have any similar issues? I'd appreciate any help

I just got a new rMBP with Mavericks pre-installed (unfortunately) and this is my first day using it. I've had this same issue. The only thing that solved it was to restart finder by using an automator that showed (and hid) hidden files.
I actually clicked the automator so I could easily drill down to the plist files so I could try deleting my old ones, but as soon as my desktop (and finder windows) came back up, I was able to click and drag again! I assume it was because I restarted the process that runs finder.
This is obviously a bug in the OS somewhere, but at least this was a very quick fix to the issue for me. (Even if it's one I'll have to keep using as I have the problem resurface).

HT2688 How can I "click and drag" songs from one shared library to another?

I have home sharing activated on my mom's computer and mine and before the newest version of itunes, we were able to click and drag songs from one users' library into the other. We are not able to do that now and I wanted to know if there was a way to do this in the newest version of itunes.

I am using a Windows computer first off, not sure if that makes a difference, When you say "click import" where is import. I can not find anything that says "import" to click.

IPhoto and Frontrow: can not click and drag after using frontrow slide show

Recently I received my new MacBook Pro, I started using iPhoto and noticed the following problem:
1. Open iPhoto and perform normal tasks, click and drag photos, etc.
2. Close i-Photo
3. Open Frontrow Slide Show(Pictures)- play for a few seconds
4. Close Frontrow
5. Reopen i-Photo and photos will not move(click/drag)
6. Close i-Photo/reopen and all is fine
Anyone else???
Thanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I discover that there is no parameter to set slide duration
Using the Finder, drag all the images from the folder containing the images on to the Navigator pane ion Keynote, this will place the images centred on an individual slide
with at least one image selected in the Navigator, select all, (command A)
Inspector > Animate > Start transition: in the drop down menu, select: Automatically
seethe delay to the time you want the image to appear on screen, you can select individual times by selecting one slide at a time
and no choice of slide transition and timing
Inspector > Animate, click Add an Effect
The Inspector is the side panel on the right hand side of the canvas

Why can't touch and drag icons on flash websites? Maybe a possible future update?

Hello, I use Firefox 23 with Adobe Flash Player 11.1 plug in. One of my favorite flash sites to visit is the pokemon and the pokemon global link website. I can't touch and drag in this browser utilizing flash. The icons respond to me selecting them, but I am unable to drag them. It makes it very difficult to utilize these sites. I have no problem doing this in my dolphin browser. I'm a HUGE Firefox fan and I would like to get rid of dolphin browser completely. Is there a way to touch and drag on flash sites? Could this be applied to a future update possibly?

***I Don't Get It***If no one can help me here then where can I forward this? Is there an actual tech support here or is this just another social forum? I would like to contact technical support. -Please Advise

Hi barb, well for one thing the vs of Flash Player is the old one. You need to update to the latest version which is 10.0.42.34.
The first link should be http://www.gourdlamps.com/presentations; that one and the other one work fine for me.
It could be that those two websites have updated to 10.0.42.34.
Here is the Adobe Uninstaller that you download and put on your Desktop http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
This is the Installer link for IE and you will SAVE this to your Desktop
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Then go to this thread and follow my instructions, except use the links I gave you. The procedures are the same.
Before you do any of this, take a look at the Uninstall article and the last two NOTES. They are very important when uninstalling IE. The last NOTE: Use the "See Details" If you see the old version of 10.0.32.18 still there, follow those instructions in that NOTE.
Thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/561702?tstart=0 (If you have a problem with the link, look for the thread
"NPSWF32.dll error...." on the first page of the Flash forum.)
Also one other difference is after Adobe confirms you have the 10.0.42.34 installed, you would go to the manage add ons
and look for Shockwave Flash Object.....ActiveX Control......Flash10d.ocx ...... make sure that is listed and it is Enabled.
Java: If you have any old Java entries in your Add/Remove, Remove them via the Add/Remove process, wait until the entry no longer appears and when you are finished, Reboot. You can do this and install the Java before Uninstalling & Installing. Link to Java JRE 6 update 18 : http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
If you have any questions, just post back.
Thanks,

How come I can't click and drag anything (tabs, bookmarks, etc.) in Firefox anymore?

Windows 7 - I can no longer click and drag anything anymore. Attempting to click and move a tab simply selects the tab. Doing the same thing to a bookmark just selects the bookmark. In addition, Firefox is now hanging every few minutes for anywhere from a few seconds to a minute.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no effect.

Hi kabooki108,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
Hopefully this helps!

How do I copy music from itunes to a USB stick? I can't click and drag - it bounces back

How do I copy music from my computer to a USB stick? It won't let me click and drag - it bounces back.

If you drill down within the iTunes folder to the "iTunes Music" or "iTunes Media" folder you'll see that iTunes has the songs organised by artists. If you want a particular album, you'll have to know who the artist is. There's also a folder named "Various Artists" for complication albums. And as for me, I don't use a USB drive to back things up, I use an external hard drive, which can hold more data. If you don't have one, I recommend getting one.

Is there any way I can get "click and drag" zoom in CS5?

As a long-time Photoshop user, it is making me crazy that "click and drag" zoom no longer works. I hate the "fly-in" zoom. I've turned off Animated Zoom (and all the other zoom options) but nothing helps. Is there a solution for this?

Look at the options for the zoom tool, and turn off the checkbox for scrubby zoom.

Can't click and drag bookmarks

My Firefox updated a couple of days ago. While I was moving bookmarks today the click and drag stopped working. I tried several restarts and same problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same problem. Running Windows 7. Works fine on another computer using Windows XP.

Could you describe your problem with more details?
Where are you dragging the bookmarks?
Is this to organize them or are you tying to move a link the the Bookmarks Toolbar to bookmark a web site?
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display a hidden menu bar)
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

Can I click and drag on a line to make it change length?

Hello, I am totally new to Flash. I want to be able to draw a line and then be able to click on it and drag to change its length. I am a total novice, am I trying something too complicated?

yes, and no are the answers to your question. A line itself can not be increased as the only way to draw a line is to use coordinates. But display objects on the other hand can increase both width and height.To achieve this, you can create a line 100 pixels x 1 pixel and make it a Sprite.
then you can scale the sprite however you want.
Otherwise what you can do it create a line using coordinates, save those points, and clear the canvas using graphics.clear() and continue to redraw the line to meet the proper length.
