Can't highlight and drag

All of sudden, I am unable to highlight a portion of text, or drag music or photos. I can't seem to right-click anymore either.
Help!

Works for me with Safari 5.0.6 on Leopard.
Which version of Safari and OS do you have?
What happens when you try to do it?

I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4.

I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

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...
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...

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.)

What is the easiest way to get scanned photos from MP Navigator to iPhoto? I thought last time I did this I could highlight and drag into iPhoto?

Contact the manufacturer (Canon?).

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,

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.

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
All Apple applications have a very useful Help system located on the Menu bar > Help

What? I can't Highlight and Copy from Webpages???

Why can't I highlight, copy text from webpages?
If I find a URL I want to visit on a page but doesn't have a hyperlink, I want to select it and put it into the URL command line yet I can't even select the text...okay, how about typing it directly to the command line while reading it from the page? Nope, the moment I start typing anything it blocks out the wepage an starts suggesting irrelavent websites!
This is so backwards from using my regular computer! It's suppose to be a business phone, but you can't do any online business on it!

Hey MeVz,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
You can copy and paste from websites, press and hold on the text for a few seconds until the text is highlighted and then press and hold on that text and choose copy on the right side. To paste, press and hold and choose paste on the right side.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

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:

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!
