Click and Drag not working with the trackpad....

Well, this is an unexpected problem.
Just this morning, it seems my computer is refusing to let me click and drag with the trackpad button. I can click and hold, but when I move my cursor, say in a menu, nothing is highlighted. For sliders for volume, clicking and dragging does nothing. I can't highlight text. It's getting very annoying. It won't work when I tell just the trackpad to click and drag as well (not using the button).
My hands have been a little "waxy" since I've been sick, but the mouse works perfectly otherwise, so I don't think that's the problem at all. Any suggestions? Please tell me my 'book isn't goin' bad. >>;;

That seemed to work! After shutting down and taking out the battery, I cleaned my keyboard and computer, too. Seems to work now Thanks!
Wonder why it did it...a glitch, prolly...

  • Click and Drag not working in Yahoo!Mail

    Dear All,
    I'm using Firefox 4.01 version, with Yahoo!BrowerPlus 2.9.8
    In Firefox version 3xxx, I was able to click and drag the attachment when I compose email(Yahoo!Mail). But with this version 4:
    - when I click and drag a photo to my email, it open the photo instead of attach the photo.
    when I click and drag a PDF file to my email, it ask me to 'Save' or 'Open with Default PDF reader'
    Please assist on this issue because this function is really useful.
    Thank You

    I had this problem... It turned out to be a conflict with the Tor add-on.

  • Click and drag not working

    It's not working for any application.  It is enabled in System Preferences, and I have restarted.  I'm running Yosemite on a 2008 MacBook, and it has been working fine until now.  I'm not sure if this is related at all, but the issue began after unplugging a projector that was connected.  The projector automatically reset some of my display preferences, but everything else went back to normal after disconnecting it.

    That seemed to work! After shutting down and taking out the battery, I cleaned my keyboard and computer, too. Seems to work now Thanks!

    I don't know since I don't share anything. You'll have to peruse the help files and check the permissions and ACLs on the Shared folder. According to the permissions on the Shared folder everyone can R&W. If you want those to be inherited by everything dropped into the folder, add an ACL for

  • The program vectorworks 2008 (not 2009) does not work with the new operating system Mavericks, which is a disaster because it forces us to change the program, and is very expensive. Apple should fix this problem

    The program vectorworks 2008 (not 2009) does not work with the new operating system Mavericks, which is a disaster because it forces us to change the program, and is very expensive. Apple should fix this problem

    Why should Apple fix the problem? Maybe you should consider NOT upgrading if an expensive piece of (obsolete) software you're running won't work with it...

  • "Drag" and "Drag lock" indicator for the trackpad (mouse) cursor

    Anyone know how to get a "Drag" and "Drag lock" indicator for the trackpad (mouse) cursor. When using the track pad, I'm often finding that my final click does not release the item I was dragging and then I inadvertently drag it across my screen, as I go to my next function. Would be nice if there was some type of indicator that would pop up on the cursor so you knew when drag lock is active.
    Thanks!

    Idiot question - How do I re-install Leopard? No matter what I do, it kicks the disk out on restart. I have tried using the 'install' command on the disk, nothing. It kicks the disk out and boots from the hard drive. I have tried rebooting holding down the 'c' key to force it to read from the drive, it still kicks the disk out and boots from the hard drive. What else should I do?
    I researched back further and found another thread where people were complaining of the same drag and drop issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6446208
    Someone suggested a solution involving permissions. I fixed my permissions. Drag and drop is still not working.
    There was also a set of commands to type into terminal that would supposedly fix the issue, or perhaps it was a Spotlight issue that the thread had morphed into. I did that. Drag and drop is still not working.
    Am I just totally hosed? Help!

  • Iphone and ipad not working with USB3?

    for some 3 months now, when I connect my iphone or ipad to the pc nothing happens.
    I tried to look it up in the device manager and it said: Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is an older USB device and might not work with USB3.0
    Plug the device into an available USB2.0 port and click next. Otherwise, click cancel.
    Anyone had the same problem? Any solution that doesn't require being a computer engineer?
    Thanks

    nothing else connected,
    I used to simply plug the iphone or ipad and a folder will open giving me choices of what to do (open the device, copy pictures...) nothing happens anymore on both ipad iphone, I can't access them to copy the pictures, videos...

    ps. Sorry for my english

    Sounds that you have installed a Firefox Beta release and thus are on the beta update channel, see Help > About.<br />
    The Beta update channel receives an update twice a week.
    You need to install the current release to switch the update channel to release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 27: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • My work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud, so I hard sync.  But then the new info on my iPhone does not backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud.  However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud.  The company has no plans to update anytime soon.  Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes.  The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!
