Copy and paste and drag and drop is not working

I need help, i can not copy and paste or drag and drop anything on my macbook pro, Please advise a solution.

I am having the same issue, however when I try to do this- Finder is "flashing".  I am able to select Finder to force quit but the second I move my cursor to press force quit, Finder begins flashing again and deselects.

  • I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, put it into iTunes Library and convert it to an .mp3.  How do I get the voice memos from my phone?  I can't seem to move them out of the Devices folder, no matter how much I try to copy and paste or drag and drop

    I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, turn it into and .mp3, and email it.  My iPhone shows up under "Devices" in my iTunes but doesn't allow me to move the voice memo files I see sitting there into my Library no matter how much copying and pasting or dragging and dropping I try to do. 
    Also, I need to convert the file to an .mp3. 
    How come no voice memo files show up when I go into my iPhone via My Computer?  All it shows are the videos and pictures in the DCIM folder, but not the voice memos.  Is there another way to access the voice memos other than through iTunes? 

    Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

  • In administrator mode drag n drop does not work

  • Can't Copy and Paste or Drag and Drop

    I can't copy and paste, drag and drop, or use spotlight on my macbook purchased in 2007 running mac os x 10.5.8.
    I noticed the problem when using serato scratch live initially because it wouldn't let me drag and drop the songs in to cue. I was able to use the key board short cuts and moved on. I then tried to clear some items from my desk top to the trash can and was unable to drag them. I was able to open the desk top in the finder and use the file, move to trash option. The problem became unbearable when I was reorganizing a word document and could not cut and paste within the document. The commands did not work from edit either. I have found that I am able to cut but not paste in the mean time.
    A user kindly pointed me to a link using the terminal to see if I had a tmp folder. I did but the date was from October of 2007 which is around when I bought the machine. I have run repair permissions from disk utitilty as suggested in yet another forum to no avail...hence reposting with my specific symptoms?!?
    Short of reinstalling mac os x, what are my options DOC?

    In the Finder do a Get Info on the Folder you're trying to save to, what rights does it say?
    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it work in the new account?

  • Cut and paste emails addresses from a spreadsheet not working anymore.

    Under Mount Lion and prior versions, in the Mail client I was able to copy a list of email addresses from an excel spreadsheet, paste them into either the To, CC, or BCC list and it would recognize the email addresses.  Under Maverick, I do the same thing and it all goes in as text.  I have to add a comma to the end of each email address for it to be recognized.  Since this spreadsheet is sent to me, don't want to edit 100 users everytime there is an update.  Is there a way to get this to work?  Really annoying to have to extract the list and to add a comma to the end of each email address.  Feature that went away in Maverick giving me a headache.

    See answer here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24362299#24362299
    It's a bit of a workaround, but since it lets you add the comma to all the addresses at once, it shuold help you out baout 95%.

  • Drag and drop does not work in firefox 3

    When i hoover over the title bar of a component i see the cross icon but the drag & drop does not work. WHen i do the same in IE8 or google chrome, it does work.
    I have this issue for both oracle composer stuff as for sites i build in webcenter spaces.
    We are working with the latest version of webcenter

    WebCenter is compatible with:
    * Firefox 2 & 3
    * Internet Exploirer 7 and 8
    * Safari 3.0
    It might be caused by a firefox extension in your browser.

  • I recently installed iTunes 4.3 and can't drag and drop music into my 'music library' anymore?

    I recently installed iTunes 4.3.5 and can't drag and drop music into my 'music library' anymore. Every time I try to drag the music from a folder into the library, that little circle with the line thru it comes up (not allowed symbol). I've been using iTunes for years and am pretty computer savvy... I have no idea what the problem is. The only way I can add music right now is if I go to File>Add File to Library and that takes way too long, especially when adding 20-30 songs. I am using Windows 7 and I have an iPhone 4. Please help! This is extremely frustrating.

    No, sorry... you did not.  There is no iTunes 4.3.5.
    What did you actually install?  iOS 4.3.5 on your iPhone?  If so, this has NO affect on the ability to manually manage media via iTunes.
    Let's start over... tell us exactly what has been done.

    Force Quit .
    Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time. Wait.
    When Force Quit window appears, select the Safari if not already.
    Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.   Wait.
    Safari will quit.
    Relaunch Safari holding the shift key down.

  • If I copy and paste a web address, it does not become an underlined link..How to fix?

    I sell items on ebay. When I copy and paste a web address it does not become an underlined CLICK ABLE LINK.
    It does in automatically in Internet Explorer. I prefer using Firefox.
    How can I fix this ???
    Ron
    PS The same thing happens if I try to email a link to someone.

    Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
    That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
    You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
    If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).<br />
