Drag and drop acting strangely after 10.8.5 upgrade
Just yesterday I upgraded to 10.8.5 form 10.8.4 so I could use my new iPhone 5c with iTunes (got message I had to upgrade)>
Since then I have had trouble dragging and dropping files into folders, folders into folders.
E.g., when dragging a .jpeg out of a folder from my user profile in finder to my desktop the .jpeg doesn't stay where I drop it but goes into the far upper left corner of the screen, half off the screen.
When draging a file to a folder on my desktop, after dropping, it doesn't go into the folder but pops back to where it was. Other times it will drop into the folder but then instantly opens the folder in a Finder window.
I repaired disc permissions and restarted, still have problems and it's getting annoying.
Appreciate any help.
Tried installing the 10.8.5 Combo, repaired permissions before and after, still have the same problem.
I wanted to copy a folder of jpegs from my home folder to a flashdrive, every time I dropped it on the flashdrive icon it just popped back to the home folder. Finally I had to hold it on the flashdrive icon for about 4-5 seconds at which point the flashdrive opened it's own window and let me drop it there.
I noticed that immediately after repair disk permissions, I did it again and all the same permissions had to be fixed again, all in iTunes. Something amiss....

Drag and drop support freeze after OSX 10.9.4 update...
The "Drag and Drop" support stop working after updating my OS X Mavericks today...updated to version 10.9.4
Any file / folder / trying to drag an email from my inbox / or even an image from Adobe Bridge CC....NOT WORKING...it's freeze!!!
You can left/right click onto any file/folder to open or read...it's working perfect.... but when trying to move it...IMPOSSIBLE...
Try relaunch finder or any desktop view option...none working.
Upon restart...its back to normal...BUT of only a few minutes!!!! then same issue again....
Any idea how to fix this BUG please???
Am using a Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel XeonPlease 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. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; 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?
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, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. 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, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
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?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
Win 7 Drag and Drop stopped working after iTunes update
I really hope that this is the right sub-forum for this.
Here goes:
A few days ago I finally upgraded to 9.1.1.12 and today I was in for a nasty surprise: I can't move MP3s from windows explorer into the iTunes window any more.
I often create playlists and then drag files I get from a few bands I follow directly into those playlists. This is an easy and painless process. My FTP client downloads the files into a prearranged folder whenever they get a new song up, and I then open said folder and drag and drop the file into iTunes.
I just got a new song to listen to today, wanted to drag it in an... Nothing. Just the black, crossed-through circle of "No".
It worked last week. It worked the week before. It worked the years before.
I got Win7 64 in April. It worked on it since then.
It stopped working today.
And no, I won't let iTunes consolidate or organize my media. It only organizes files bought via the iTunes store, nothing I rip from CDs or obtain otherwise, as those files have to be playable by two other players as well. But, again: Until this night it worked without a problem. And after the new update... Stopped.
Is there a new option I'm missing?I was able to fix it.
I simply stopped running iTunes in Admin mode. For some reason, running it in administrator mode makes it behave "worse" than not doing so.
When I ran it as a normal program, I was able to drag files into it correctly again.
Which is weird, as the last version was also running in admin mode, but worked perfectly. -
Can't drag and drop files onto Applications in Dock since upgrading to 10.6
Ever since my wife upgraded her iMac (2 GHz, 2 gigs) to 10.6, she can no longer drag and drop files onto certain applications in her dock to open the file. She has to go into the application and go to "open file" or whatever.
For example, if she has a Word doc on her desktop, she cannot drag it onto the Word icon in her dock.
Any advice?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't drag and drop from iTunes after using Ion USB/ EZ Converter
I am new to transferring old vinyl to mp3, and want to make a CD.
I have the tracks in iTunes now- they play perfectly well, but I cannot drag them onto my desktop (to then transfer to Toast).
Before the tracks were reading as wav, but now they are mp3, however, I did use the "Create mp3 version" feature, so have I confused my Mac, but "re-mp3ing" my tracks?
Thanks.Release the mouse when you see the symbol with the line through it; you should then be given the option to authenticate in the dialog which appears. If so, choose this option and provide an administrator password when prompted. If not or if the option doesn't work, move the files to another location inside your home folder.

Working on an IMac - with IPhoto v.9.6
This is my first experience with IPhoto... trying to move files from a PC over to a Mac.
I don't have a ton of photos but I created about 6 albums - standard albums - and dragged and dropped individual photos into each of the albums. I named each of the albums as well so I would know what was in each. After i was finished, I created a folder called 2014 and moved each of the albums into that folder. Before moving ANY of the albums, I opened each of them up to make sure that all the photos I wanted in each were indeed there - and since there were some errors on my part, I deleted any duplicates first. SO, I KNOW the photos were actually in each of the albums BEFORE i moved them into the 2014 folder.
My intention was to then delete the photo files in my document file but once I got there I thought I would go back and double check the IPhoto file just to make sure... and the pictures were NOT in the albums where I had placed them... is there a need to save this before you move on and if so, to where and how? I was under the impression that once files were moved to albums, they remain there.
The photos are still in the photo library but unsorted now again... I cannot even open the 2014 folder at this point.
Thanks for any help!!Was back on IPhoto this morning. The folder did not open at all so I deleted it. Beside Albums, nothing showed at all. It was like I had done no work at all except to import my photo folder. Nothing was in my trash bin either.
I started again and created one album at a time. I dragged and dropped photos into the album and exited out of IPhoto, opened up other programs and then returned to IPhoto to see if the album was still there and it was this time. I created a second album and did the same thing. This time, for some reason, the albums seem to be staying in place. I am not doing anything differently than last time. After creating three albums, I created a folder called 2014 and dragged and dropped the three albums into the folder and exited IPhoto. They were still there when I returned - YEAH! It seems to be working - for now! I am keeping my fingers crossed that my photos are not going to disappear but I am not going to delete my photo folder from my files just in case!
Thanks for the suggestions but this may just have been a funny glitch... not sure what happened. I didn't change anything or do anything differently this time except that I am doing it one album at a time and exiting the program between creating each of them and coming back to check... very strange. -
Drag and drop doesn't work after upgrading to Yosemite
It is strange. Since upgrading yesterday to Yosemite, my drag and drop does not working consistently. I use drag and drop all of the time, into emails, moving files from one folder to another, moving music from finder to itunes, etc. It seems each time I try to drag a file, initially the Finder window I am dragging from crashes and re-starts. Once it re-starts, I actually am able to move a file as normal for about a minute or two. After a minute or two, if I try to drag and drop a file, again it crashes and re-opens.
Does anyone have any ideas? I did submit a bug notice to Apple, but thought maybe someone would have a fix.I'm not sure if this experience relates to your issue but maybe..
After upgrading my iMac to Yos, I could only select and copy files to relocate them. Frustrating for a couple of days. I eventually found that the setting on my trackpad was for three fingers over a selected file/folder window/etc moved the item to where I wanted. It had automatically changed to this preference. Its called a 'three finger drag'. The video shows a pane being moved but it also applies to all files etc. It can found in preferences/trackpad/point & click. Here you can turn it off if that is hat is causing the issue. Otherwise no software solutions I'm aware of. Good luck. -
Pls Help! Drag and Drop problem, identical symbols acting differently - same code! WHY?
In the attached file, I have a series of symbols that have a drag and drop command to change colour at different sections of a bullseye, and that are also text editable (html).
However, some of the symbols get stuck and will not be moved after moving once or at all, and some get stuck once their text has been edited.
I have poured over the code and it appears to be the same for each symbol - can anyone explain as to why this is happening?
I also cannot now edit the text properly on the ipad (it is really fiddly to change between different symbols to edit their text -- is there maybe a better way to do this? A button to change between symbols to then edit their text, can you help with this too?)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Double click after a drag and drop
After I drag and drop a label(or other UIComponent) in a container, i want to double click the label to show me an alert. well it doesn't work.
i've tried in the dragCompleteHandler to put event.dragIntiator.addEventListener or event.currentTargetaddEventListner but it doesn't work. Also i enabled the DoubleClickEnabler and still nothing.
Any ideas because i tried to google it and nothing came out with this problem.
thanksAnd it does nothing similar when you drop an item on a folder or anything else, only the trash... Geez, that is pretty darn strange. And if you slowly drag and drop it, it does the same? I wonder if resetting your PRAM might be worth a shot.
If you delete or remove the plist from where it is now I would guess that a new one would be created automatically like most preferences. But maybe you should wait for Baltwo on that one. Does force quitting the finder do anything? You might also try starting up in Safe Mode to see if that has any effect. If it does, there's probably some software conflict going on. Good luck, if you get it fixed post back. I'd really like to know what was going on.

After upgrade to Yosemite, drag and drop for files does not work, destination folder crashes.
After upgrading to Yosemite, dragging and dropping files from one location to the destination folder, causes the destination folder crash. However, copying the file and then moving it works fine.

Hi, I'm surprised I can't quickly find if anyone else is having this issue. For me it has been going on since Lion on my 13" MacBook Pro 2011 and it's still persisting in Mavericks, and even still now that I've "downgraded" to a 15" MacBook Pro 2010 with Mavericks. The behavior is odd and difficult to explain concisely. Basically, when I want to add an attachment to Mail, I'll Cmd+Tab over to Finder click and drag and Cmd+Tab back to Mail, and drop the attachment. At first it looks fine, but when I click in the New Message window where I just dropped the attachment, to move the cursor, it retreats to the background and the Mail Main Window comes to the foreground. Then, if I click on that, the Finder window that I just used comes to the foreground. Sometimes if I switched to another app before going to Finder to select the drag and drop, that other app window will appear in the foreground instead. If I click on the other app window that is now in the foreground, then the Finder window that was last used will come to the foreground. The only thing that seems to fix this switch-a-roo effect is Cmd+Tab-ing back and forth a few times, or click on the window "frame" at the top to move the window around.
The way to prevent this is to have my Mail Message window visible in the foreground side by side with the Finder window when the drag and drop occurs (this is a tedious extra step if mulitple windows are open, or to use the add attachment command in the menu within Mail. But it sure is annoying buggy behavior.
Thanks
DanielYep, I get exactly the same thing when using Thunderbird mail client on my 2011 iMac running Lion. I've been putting up with it for at least a year, maybe longer.
For me it appeared to start after a Thunderbird update, so I figured that was the cause and couldn't find a solution at the time. However I've now noticed it starting to happen in Apple Motion 4 when dragging files from Finder into a DropZone in my animations. Motion remains the active program but the Finder window sits on top until I Cmd-tab out to a third open program (ie not Finder) and back to Motion again.
This is the first indicator I've had that it's an OS X issue.
Be great to find a solution as D&D is by far my preferred way of adding attachments to emails and similar tasks. -
How to auto close finder window after drag and drop?
In Tiger, I would file away items on my desktop my dragging them to the hard drive and then digging down to the appropriate folder. The finder window would then close automatically after dropping the file. Is there a setting in Snow Leopard that will enable similar functionality? Whenever I complete a drag and drop now the finder window just stays open, which isn't a huge issue, but I'd still like to change it. Thanks!

drag and drop to photo shop no longer works after installing Apple "Photos"; It was working fine before the latest Apple update (10.10.3) . what can be done?
Nothing. It's nothing to do with PSE; this is a limitation of Photos, as is the loss of being able to use an external editor without exporting copies of your images.

Can't drag and drop after update
can't drag and drop after update
hi Dustin, maybe with a bit more info someone will be able to help with this:
what Mac OS System version are you using?
what is it you are 'dragging and dropping'? : Is this drag and drop of text in InDesign? Or are you dragging and dropping from the Mac OS (e.g. a file from a folder) into InDesign?
If you are referring to drag and drop from OS into InDesign: I'm thinking this 'might' be a Mac OSX issue. If you look over at https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa there seem to be plenty of issues with drag and drop across different OS versions.
Next time it stops working whilst you are in InDesign, does it still work in other programs? That is one way of determining if this is caused by InDesign or the operating system. If it is the OS, my guess is that it stops working in other applicaitons as well.
Hope this helps,

Can't drag and drop apps in iTunes library after a restore
Came back from an update (having transferred all new purchases off my ipod before updating) to find ipod completely empty, and needed to restore! (ipod only 2 months old) Initially couldn't drag and drop any of the library back into restored ipod, but after a computer restart, books and music transferred fine. But no apps (including the ibooks app) will drag across to the ipod: they just become a circle with a slash through.... what am I missing here?
Thanks David - that wasn't it, but I have managed to find a fix after trawling through various forums - I logged out then logged back in. Simple as that! Sadly I'm still none the wiser as to what caused the problem in the first place, so don't know if or when it'll reoccur. I also found it was affecting iPhoto after I first posted, so not an iTunes specific problem obviously. Thanks to all those who posted fixes in various forums, though some looked a little too scary for me to try out...
