Can't drag folders or files between apps using mission control

I've been using Lion without any incident so far, but now that I've downloaded the lastest update (10.7.2) I can't drag a file or folder using mouse click (or my wacom tablet) between apps or folders - gestures simply will not work.
Once I click on a file, the multi-touchpad stop responding - if this is for real, Mac just lost it's allure... the nimble feature of exposé and/or mission control was this sole ability to navigate through apps and draggin files.
What's the status, anyone got this issue already?

I've been encountering the exact same problem! that was my favourite multi-touch gesture of all, which improved the productivity greatly. The only workaround for me is to assign hot-corners to mission control and drag files i want to the corners, but I really hope there's an explanation for this because i would really like that feature to be back

  • Moving Between Apps Using Mission Control

    Hello,
    Does anyone know of way that I can quickly move between apps using the arrow keys and Mission Control?  For example, in Snow Leopard if I use Mission Control (F3) I could easily move between all of my apps and/or multiple instances of an app by using the arrow keys. 
    In Lion if use Mission Control the apps come up but I have to actually click on the one the app that I want to bring up.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    I use the three finger swipe:
    The three finger swipe works in Mission Control too. There are lots of ways to accomplish this.
    ⌘ Tab works for all open apps, including those that are "minimized".

  • HT4689 Why I can't I see my file names when using Mission Control?

    It's not uncommon for me to have multiple Word Documents open at once and it's extremely annoying that they are no longer labeled like they used to be when I used "Hot Corners" in Snow Leopard.  I missed out entirely on Lion but just bought an iPhone and figured I might as well upgrade to Moutain Lion on my computer while I was at it. Anyone else hate this particular feature of Mountain Lion or know how to solve it?  I have already unchecked "Group Windows by Application" so at least they're no longer in a stack (thanks, Support Community!), but I still want to be able to differentiate between them at a glance. Any help is appreciated!  I'm a longtime Mac user and not used to being so frustrated with my devices. 

    I was hoping that this would be fixed in the 10.8.2 upgrade but it has not.  Anyone have any luck?  Earlier today I was trying to write a paper and navigating between 10 pdfs was a nightmare without being able to hover my mouse for the titles like I used to. 

  • Indesign cs6 menu and tool bar disappear between windows using mission control in mountain lion

    heres 2  screen grabs before and after. while navigating between 'spaces' using mission control in mountain lion. issue -  the menu and tools bars disappear - not all of them just parts of them. to get back i hit 'tab' button twice which hides and shows tools. very annoying - does anyone know of a fix or is this another bug which i have to live with. im using a macpro june 2012/running 10.8.4 and 2 screens - left for artboard - right for all tool windows.

    thanks steve - yes that works as does using the tab key - all well....until i move to another 'space' and then come back again.
    for example: my setup is like this - no2 space has indesign project. no3 space has photoshop. so im working on a page within indesign and i need to edit an image- i double click the pic and it opens in photoshop on the other 'space' save the file and go back to indesign to update pic and find menu/tools all over the place - so hit tab twice back to normal -  until i 'move' out of that space into another - photoshop/ mail/ whatever - as i toggle between spaces the indesign menu will always be 'corrupt' for a better word. hope that makes sense.

    since upgrading to lion osx, i've noticed that i can't drag a pic, for example, from safari and drop it into a chat box in ichat.  used to drag pics, web addresses, text, etc across spaces all the time in snow leopard but i don't seem to be able to do it in lion.  does anyone else have this problem or am i missing something?

    You have many issues with your and your wife's machine(s). Everything you've posted works here. Reinstall Snow Leopard, repair permissions, and see if that fixes things.

  • Can I permanently allocate programs to different Spaces using Mission Control?

    ie. Will they re-open in previously allocated spaces after shut down or quitting the program?
    I have created 4 desktop spaces, and know how to put different programs/windows into different spaces, but I haven't been able to work out how to have them re-open in those spaces each time, without having to manually move them there. You used to be able to do this in Expose and Spaces, but can you do it with Mission Control?

    Jose,
    Click and hold the Application icon in the Dock, and you will be offered this contextual menu to make your choice:

  • HT4236 can I drag and drop files on to my ipad?

    Can l drag and drop files to my new ipad or do l have to use iTunes?
    To be honest l find iTunes a bit user unfriendly.
    Thanks for any info

    There are apps that will let you drag and drop files from the computer to the iPad. I have an app called File Manager Folder + that will let you drag and top files and also transfer them via WiFi. It's a pretty useful app actually.
    Check it out here.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/file-manager-folder-plus/id484856077?mt=8
    You also need to download an app on your computer, which is free, in order for this to work.

  • Can't Drag in MIDI files from Finder

    HI,
    I can't drag in MIDI files from the Finder in GB. I used to be able to do this easily a month or so ago.
    HELP says that I am doing it correctly. Anyone else have this problem?

    Great suggestion. That worked great. Weird thing is that previous versions of GB allowed me to drag in the very same MIDI files w/o the QT round trip. Perhaps a different version of the OS or QT has changed this. Well, thanks for the help.

  • Can't drag and drop files into Indesign.

    My ability to dragon and drop files into InDesign has stopped. I also cannot copy and paste. I have tried dropping previously used jpg's and PDFs as well as copying text from Acrobat, Chrome and Word. I reset the prefrences with control option command shift, but still no luck - I can't drag and drop files. Also, I cannot move files with my mouse in the program.

    Nobody can help you without system information. Could be anything from graphics driver issues to a defective mouse to a busted operating system...

  • I can't drag and drop files to playlist or to Shuffle.

    I have iTunes 10.5, and I can't drag and drop files to playlists or to my shuffle.  For playlists, I have to right click and "add to playlist" and for shuffle, I have to copy song and paste it into shuffle.  Is anyone else having this problem? How can I fix it?

    A lot of people are having this problem.  Most commonly, they are using a Wacom tablet, and sometimes updating its driver helps.  I don't have a Wacom, but still have the "can't drag" problem.  Here are the workarounds I have found in the forums so far...
    1. "gusto drag" -- slide the pointer across a song and click.
    2. clicking with both left and right mouse buttons.
    3. selecting items and do a "create playlist from selected". Then select the iPod and autofill from that playlist.
