Drag and Drop not working no solution yet?

I am having issue with the drag and drop. Problem started only recently, not sure if it happens before or after upgrading to Mavericks. I have read through most of the solution suggested in other thread but the "sleep and wake" method did not help "Relaunch Finder" didn't help. I don't have many apps installed, not Airparrot whatsoever and I can't drag and dropped. Only notice the problem when I was trying to uninstall some app by trying to drag them from the App folder to Appzapper software.
Can anyone please provide information on how to trace the root cause. What are the list of apps that might be causing this issue?
What other soultion may I try? I am very new to the mac and is scratching my head bald with this probem. Help appreciated.

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.

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, 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".

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.

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.

Flash drag and drop not working on Firefox for android browser

Drag and drop functionality is not working using Firefox Browser for Android on tablet. We tested with flash action script 2.0 & 3.0 content, both have same issue. Specs of the tab and OS are as follows.
Android - Kitkat 4.4.2
Tab models - Lenovo A7600H and Samsung Tab4 T531
Please refer to a previous case raised on the same issue here at this link (Case 1029615) - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029615
Additionally, we observed that the object on which Drag and Drop event was triggered, is moving little bit when we double tap.
Does Firefox provide any libraries to support Drag and Drop functionality on Flash? We are using Geekoview api to execute flash content in our app. Will the same support be provided in Geekoview as well?
Are there other folks facing the same issue? Is there a solution or workaround to get this feature running?

Flash on Android is no longer supported by Adobe. While Firefox does support basic functionality we mainly focus on legacy video applications. You may run into issues with Flash and Geckoview. I doubt we have any resources to support that configuration.

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 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 on Mac

By testing my extension in a Mac I noticed that drag and drop doesn't work as expected. Therefore I have created a new simple extension with only one list and a simple data provider:
[Bindable]
public var aData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(['one','two','three','four']);
<s:List dataProvider="{aData}" dragEnabled="true" dropEnabled="true" dragMoveEnabled="true"> </s:List>
this should allow the user to reorder the items in the list by dragging them.
It works fine in Windows as extension for Photoshop CS6 and also in Mac as AIR application but it doesn't works as Photoshop CS6 extension in Mac (Lion); I can neither see the drop line between items.
Is this a known problem and which is the workaround ?
Thanks

I hope someone can help me, I'm really desperate on this as I can't find a solution
Native drag and drop works but no others, have tested in Lion and Mountain Lion. Can't drag elements in a list to reorder them and can't drag between lists.
It seems the only event fired is dragcomplete, the drag indicator is not shown but I can skin the dragged item.
Have tried adding manual drag-drop control ( http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=dragdrop_5.html ) without luck
Any help or workaround would be appreciated.

Any fixes for drag and drop not working in WAD with IE9?

I have exactly the same issue as is described in WAD Problem - can't modify and Drag&drop in Web App Designer (WAD) doesn't work but unfortunately I don't have the option of going from IE9 back to IE8. Has anybody found a fix for using drag and drop in WAD with IE9?
Edited by: Jason Muzzy on Jul 22, 2011 1:09 AM

Hi Jason,
Thanks for replying .
But I am facing this isssue in Web Application Designer. The link which I have shared shows the behavious of cursor while dragging and dropping
Drop not allowed ("blocked traffic" sign)
Drill across (arrow pointing to the right)
Drill down (arrow pointing down)
Exchange dimensions (exchange icon)
Add to filter (add icon)
Remove from filter (remove icon)
Reorder list (reorder icon).
This issue I am getting in Web Application Designer itself.In WAD 7.X ANALYSIS TABLE do we have any option from which we can disable drag and drop of cells because it is destroying the view of report output .
In WAD 7.X we have option of Activate Navigation in ANALYSIS TABLE but if we disable this our context will get disable and it shows the default Browser context menu.We have not provided any such options so that its original layout will retain back .
The solution they have mentioned to Disable Drag and Drop is not available in WAD ,its available in Analyzer.
Please let me know if you have found any solution for this.

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 iPhoto

I have a brand new MacBook Pro running Lion, and recently when I try to drag and drop in iPhoto, it stops working. I want to drag photos from iPhoto to a folder on my desktop in order to upload those pictures online. I have never had a problem with drag and drop in Snow Leopard, but suddenly Lion does not want to let me do it.
I checked around and found out about repair permissions, which I did, then I restarted the computer. Drag and Drop worked for a few minutes, then all the sudden it wouldn't let me again. I was in the same album, trying to drag and drop the same group of pictures, and nothing had changed when it just stopped working again. I really don't want to have to restart the computer EVERY time it wont let me do this. Does anyone have any other advice? Command copy/paste works for now, but drag and drop is just easier so I'd like to get the issue resolved! Oh, and my software is completely up to date as well.

Does anybody have any ideas?
I've updated to the new version of iTunes since I originally posted this,
but the drag and drop feature is still not working. This is making it
impossible for me to update anything on my iPod.
Thanks!
