Why does drag and drop not work?

Why does drag and drop not work?

Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

Drag and drop not working. When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program. Happens in finder numbers and firefox

Drag and drop not working. When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program. Happens in finder numbers, firefox, and when trying to move any file from the downloads folder.
This is a serious pain.
Please help.

Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".
You can file feedback here.

Drag and Drop not working since last software update

Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving an icon on the doc and the same thing occured. YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

PowerMac 5.1 drag and drop not working, any suggestions?

Powers Mid 2010 5.1 running 10.10.3, drag and drop not working smoothly, won't engage to drag. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the return, well, just trying to relocate a web screen or move a saved application from the desktop into a folder. I use Final Cut Pro Ten extensively and sometimes I want to drag something off my desktop into the time line on the FCPX. When I left click and hold on the item to drag it doesn't seem to engage then when it does move it quits along the way to the drop point. I hope that makes since too you? I use a Logitech two button with a scroll wheel wired mouse and have twin 32" monitors. Thanks Latranner

Hi,
Welcome posting in TechNet forum.
Do you mean the drag and drop action of files within different application?
We may take a try to disable the UAC settings and see if the drag and drop would work. And please note if we have UAC disabled, Windows Store APPs would be expected not going to work.
For the coding edit stuff, I suggest we keep focus on the MSDN thread.
Best regards

LR5.7, drag and drop not working...suggestions?

Two days ago, drag and drop stopped working within lightroom (dragging a photo/photos from the filmstrip at the bottom to a different folder, or into a collection). The cursor on the screen stays an arrow when you click on a photo and hold the left mouse button down, it will highlight the image in the filmstrip or grid view, but will not do anything with it. I've never had anything like this happen before. iMac, 32gb ram, OSX 10.10.1, LR5.7.

Paul,
ok, standard support question on Windows: Does this also occur after reboot?
And my question refers to the right click >> Run as administrator option. It was not the question if your login has administrative rights.... sorry for the confusion.

Drag and drop not working when uploading file using safari

why i cannot drag and drop any file when using safari , and what happens the file auotmatically open while i need to upload it only , extra for that , i cannot write any remark or fill a space while using website related to my work.
my work is to upload drawing files using dwf file to a website so the other parties can review and give me review , and then i reply to the remark at the same place and make meeting through the same site.
please any body can give any way to correct my mac.
latelly i installed win7 only to use it for that website , and iam now changing from mac to win whenever i want to work , this not acceptable to me because it is waste of time beside i like the mac and it working with other application but not for safari.

why ?
I'm sorry, but every OS is different. You cannot expect all features of one to be in another. Or alternatively, for similar features, be done it the exact same way.
It looks to me after a quick google search that winexplorer is basically the moral equivalent of the mac's finder to present the file system in different ways. The OSX Finder also has alternative views of the file system, i.e., icons, list, columns. Experiment with the list and column views and see if one of them are more to your liking.
As for winexplorer on the mac. I don't know if this simulates it or not but there is a program called Macintosh Explorer so check that out as well.
And finally, in the end, as I said in my earlier post, no matter what, nothing on the mac is going to change what I believe you think you can do and drop a file on a browser window and expect it to upload.

Drag and drop not working in PE 12, MacOS 10.7.5 (Lion)

I "copied" the icon for the Photoshop Elements 12 Editor to the dock. When I drag and drop a photo icon (example, JPG or NEF) to the Elements Editor icon in the dock, nothing happens -- Elements does not open. The photo icon just "pops" back to the folder I was dragging it from. Every previous version of Elements that I've used behaved like any other Mac application and opened the photo (with an NEF file, the photo opened properly in ACR). Other Mac applications like Preview open a file just fine when it I drag and drop the file on the application icon.
I tried the same experiment with both the Editor and Organizer icons in my Applications folder and got the same results (the application did not open the file).
I skimmed through the PE Preferences to see if there was some kind of new preference for "drag and drop" behavior but didn't find anything.
So, what am I missing? How can I get PE 12 to open a file when I drag and drop a photo icon onto the Editor (or if I really have to, the Organizer) icon?

Drag & drop works fine for me on 10.9
You have possibly copied the wrong icon, The application is located in Support Files.
Applications >> Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 >> Support Files
Locate Photoshop Elements 12 Editor inside the Support Files Folder.

Drag and Drop not working in iTunes 12.1.0.71

I've been working with iTunes on a PC for years - so I'm embarrassed I can't figure this out. As recently as a few weeks ago, I could drag and drop movies and music from Windows Explorer into iTunes 12.1.0.71- now it's not working. Even using the menus for File - Add File to the Library isn't working. Did something change in this release?

Sorry 1 correction on my earlier post. Install iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16) NOT 12.1.0.71!
Thanks Guys! This fixed me up.
I uninstalled
- All Apple Packages
- Bonjour
- iTunes
- Quick Time packages
Deleted the Apple, iTunes, & Quick Times folders:
- c:\Program Files
- c:\Program Files (x86)
- C:\Program Data
- C:\Users\%profile%\AppData\Local
- C:\Users\%profile%\AppData\LocalLow
- C:\Users\%profile%\AppData\Roaming
Rebooted
Sorry 1 correction on my earlier post. Install iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16) NOT 12.1.0.71!
Installed the newest QuickTime 7.7.6
and Bingo! Hopefully the next iTunes release addresses the issue moving forward.
Thanks Again!

Drag and drop not working correctly.

I've got a 2nd monitor connected to my iMac 27".
Before, whenever I had a finder (also happens on Adobe Bridge) window open on the other monitor and I drag and drop to the desktop, it would drop the file in the exact spot I dropped it at. Now, for some reason whenever I try to drag and drop, it puts in onto my "Imac monitor" desktop - not the second monitor where I dropped it. Anyone ever experienced this or have any solutions. It may sound like a little thing, but whenever I'm working it just adds an extra step to my process. I appreciate it!!

Hi, not on 10.8 right now, but in Finder>View munu>Show View options, try unchecking Keep Arranged by.

Drag and drop not working

I use iTunes on my PC and sync my iPod to it.This has worked fine for a few years now.
Suddenly this morning I can no longer add mp3 files to iTunes from my PC using drag and drop.
Anyone know why this is happening and what I can do about it?

I'm afraid it's not a very helpful response but I have the same problem. I think it was triggered by a change I made - I had a CD made up of tracks by various artists and they weren't grouped together, so I selected them all, pressed 'get info', changed the composer to 'various artists' and ticked the compilation box. Since then whenever I try to drag and drop files from utorrent into itunes nothing happens

Drag and drop not working 2012 and Win 7

This used to work, but somewhere along the way I lost the ability to drag and drop file paths and LV snippets onto a LV block diagram. Has anyone else seen this? I don't think it's a windows issue. And it works in LV2011.

Drag and Drop not working when Firefox is open

I kept running into the problem and could not figure out why sometimes i could drag and drop and sometimes i could not.
I just did some experimenting and found that as long as Firefox is minimized, drag and drop works fine.
So the application can be open but all the windows need to be minimized.
here is my firefox info Mozilla/5.0 Firefox/3.0.13

I am having the same problem glasnostic you are not imagining things.
I usually have finder set to detailed view mode and intermittently and seemingly randomly drag and drop will not work. I will be moving specific files from folder a to b then, all of a sudden, I click on a file like i did the last 10 and it wont budge. I found that like glasnostic switching to thumbnail view sometimes makes it work immediately. Otherwise just waiting a minute or two and trying again makes it work. This is so bizarre and is driving me crazy.
I have experienced the same problem while attempting to drag files from finder into itunes.
It happens to me without firefox open or running.
The most recent time this happened I had open the following:
-itunes (8.2.1)
-Transmission (1.73)
-ichat (4.08)
-Safari (4.03)
-Last.fm (1.542)
on osx 10.5.8
I'm using the logitech g5 mouse.
