Drag and drop doesn´t work with photoshop

Hi,
I can't open any files in ps anymore by simply drag and drop the file on the ps app. open with in the context menue doesn't help either, ps is called up, but the file is not opened. looks like some other people had the same problem, but the links are all broken.
your help would be very much appreciated.
thanks

Take a look in the root Library folder (not your home one) and see if you have the ScriptingAdditions folder with the Adobe Units Types file inside. If not that is your problem. You can either reinstall Photoshop, or you can create the ScriptingAdditions folder and download and unzip the file HERE, then put it in the ScriptingAdditions folder. NB: there is NO SPACE in the folder's name.

Try this first. On your hard drive, go to Users / yourself / Library / Preferences.
In that Preferences folder there is a file called com.apple.finder.plist.
Trash that file and restart.

Please do a SMC and PRAM reset using the directions in iMac SMC and PRAM reset. If that doesn't work then please tell us exactly which mouse you own, it's possible it needs cleaning or replacing.

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.

Problem Cursor disappears / Drag and Drop doesn't work

Hey everybody,
I have an urgent problem!
Three butterflies are supposed to be dragged in an object. My customized cursor is sort of a landing net to catch these butterflies.
For the cursor I have this code:
cursor_mc.startDrag("true");
Mouse.hide();
My drag and drop code is:
cursor_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMove);
redbutterfly_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMove);
violetbutterfly_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMove);
yellowbutterfly_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMove);
cursor_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopMove);
redbutterfly_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopMove);
violetbutterfly_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopMove);
yellowbutterfly_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopMove);
function startMove(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   redbutterfly_mc.startDrag();
   cursor_mc.startDrag();
   violetbutterfly_mc.startDrag();
   yellowbutterfly_mc.startDrag();
function stopMove(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   redbutterfly_mc.stopDrag();
   cursor_mc.stopDrag();
   violetbutterfly_mc.stopDrag();
   yellowbutterfly_mc.stopDrag();
But when I'm clicking on a butterfly my cursor stops to move and stays on the position of the butterfly, which i'm dragging. After dropping it, there is no cursor at all so one doesn't know where the mouse is currently located.
Does someone know why this doesn't work? I'm working currently with a mousefollower, because at the moment this is the only way it works..
The mousefollower code is:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler)
function enterFrameHandler(event:Event):void {
    cursor_mc.x += cursor_mc.mouseX / 4;
    cursor_mc.y += cursor_mc.mouseY / 4;
But now I have the problem that only the yellow butterfly moves even if I'm clicking on the red or the violet...
Please help me!! Thank you in anticipation!

You've solved the problem, thank you very much!
Since it seems you know all about actionscript or at least all answers to my questions, I try my luck a further time
If I wanted to collect the caught butterflies in a certain target, for example a flowerpot, where the butterflies can't be removed after dragged in, is this more or less the code for it? I haven't tried it yet but I'm searching the internet for something like that and maybe it is the right thing? And is in this case "myTarget" the name of the picture which is used as the target? Thank you in advance!
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.startDrag(true);
    event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
    startX = event.target.x;
    startY = event.target.y;
function dropIt(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.stopDrag();
    var myTargetName:String = "target" + event.target.name;
    var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(myTargetName);
    if (event.target.dropTarget != null && event.target.dropTarget.parent == myTarget){
        event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
        event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
        event.target.buttonMode = false;
        event.target.x = myTarget.x;
        event.target.y = myTarget.y;
        counter++;

Drag and drop doesn't work on non-intel machines

It may be just me but Pages on my Macbook Pro allows me to drag and drop. The same document on my work G5 doesn't have this functionality. Both machines run 10.4.10 though the G5 doesn't have all the latest updates (corporate firewall issues)
I am assuming its the different processor but would be interested to know of others experience.

I drag & drop in Pages, Numbers, AppleWorks, etc. on both my G5 tower & my MacBook Pro all the time, no problems. There is a trick, though. You do need to click & then wait a half-second or so before dragging.

My 'drag and drop' doesn't work using Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 on iMac

Drag and drop occasionally works between folders but very rarely - and now not at all. I have tried various remedies suggested onthis forum, but they didn't work.
Copy and paste is a real drag (sorry!)

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 guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. 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 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?
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.
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:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
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 next normal boot 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.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
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.

Drag and drop isn't working with itunes

I recently did an update for my iphone and itunes. Now when I try to drag anything out of my itunes it won't work. It doesn't show the plus sign. I tried adding books and music to my iphone and it doesn't work either. I have "maually manage music and videos" selected and I clicked Sync and it's still not working. I've deleted the preferences. Not sure what else to do and looking for any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

In iTunes on your computer, choose File > Add to Library and select the PDF. Then sync. See iTunes Help for more info about syncing

File links / drag and drop no longer work with MS Office 2008

not sure what happened, but my installed and up to date version of MS Office suddenly refuses to accept file open events. Cannot double click on files anymore, nor can I drop files into the MS icons in the dock. The only way to open files is now using the "open" command from inside the application.
This error seems to be global on my system, across multiple user personalities, and doesn't go away with a restart.
Anyone have an idea what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Michael

Do a "get info" on one of these files.
About the middle of the info box is a pull down menu labeled "open with".
Pick your office app and then check the box labeled " change all".
Now double click on the type of file that pertains to the app you choose.
If this does work, do the same for one file each of the office apps.

Drag and drop doesn't work in Optimise Toolbars

when I try to add an icon to the taskbar, nothing happens. The moved icon is shown as being in an unusable place (black circle with diagonal bar).
Also I cannot unlock the elements in the toolbars to rearrange them...

You can only drag icons onto one of the toolbars at the top.<br />
If you want them on the Status Bar then that should be supported by that extension.

Illustrator extension - Drag and drop is not working on mac

During testing my extension on Mac,I noticed that drag and drop doesn't work as expected. Therefore I have created a new simple extension with two lists.
<s:List id="lst1" label="name" dragEnabled="true">
     <tree>
          <name>a</name>
          <name>b</name>
          <name>c</name>
     </tree>
</s:List>
<s:List id="lst2" dropEnabled="true" dragMoveEnabled="true"> </s:List>
This will allow lst1 items to be dragged and drop in lst2.
This sample works fine on Windows and on Mac as AIR app but not working as extension on Illustrator( Not able to drag and drop between list on mac).
Any help or workaround would be appreciated.

Thanks for quick reply and help. I am able to drag multiple files but this is giving problem in case of filename with spaces like "abc def.png". Can you please put some thoughts on this.
DataFlavor uriListFlavor = new DataFlavor("text/uri-list;class=java.lang.String");
               Reader in = (Reader)t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor);
               BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
               String uriStr;
               while ((uriStr = br.readLine()) != null)
                   URL url = new URL(uriStr);
                   String category = GalleryUtils.contentsPanel.getCurrentCategoryPath();
                   GalleryUtils.generateILPFromFile(new File(url.getFile()), category);
               }Thanks

Drag and drop feature stopped working when updated to Aurora 18.0a2. What is the problem?

Cannot drag and drop letters on Words With Friends on Facebook, or Yahoo Fantasy Football.

biggsbdavis:
Try disabling and then re-enabling the Helvetica font. Sometimes that's all it takes.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
