Drag and Drop Not Working Still

Sometimes I can drag a file to the desktop, sometimes I can't. When I can't, I get a message like this in the console:
2007-10-02 11:09:32.157 iPhoto[1229] Couldn't convert path "/Users/mdf/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/2007/Stanford/IMG_3603.JPG" to an FSRef to put on the pasteboard.
Clean install, 2gb ram, 40gb disk space, helvetica font(s) all working/good, plugin in filters disabled/enabled one at a time, etc, etc.
Any ideas?

Then this sounds like a corrupt library file.
You can try rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager. Check the help from that app for instructions.
If that doesn't work:
Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

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.

I use a Logitech two button with a scroll wheel wired mouse and have twin 32" monitors. Thanks Latranner

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!

Drag and drop not working in Lotus Notes

Since installing 10.8.2 I cannot drag items from my desktop into an email message in Lotus Notes, nor can I drag items from Lotus Notes to my desktop. It worked before updating to 10.8.2 so it has to be something in the new update.

Drag and Drop not working in iTunes (Mountain Lion)

Hello,
Earlier today the drag and drop function in iTunes stopped working.
It was working yesterday and this morning, but no longer.
I have not updated any software in a few days, but I did install
JAVA 7 right before it stopped working. I have since deleted the Java 7 files
in Library necessary for ridding my computer of it.
Drag and drop is still fully functional in Finder, Mail, etc
It seems to be broken only in iTunes.
I don't have any clue why this has happened.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
iTunes 10.7 (21) 64bit
Mac OS X 10.8.2

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.
Norbert
CEO: What exactly is stopping us from doing this?
Expert: Geometry
Marketing Manager: Just ignore it.

Mouse - Drag and drop not working

The Drag and drop feature is not working with my mouse. The mouse was tested and is fine. It's a software thing. It works with everything else, but if I try to select something and drag it, it doesn't work. Any advice?

PaulyK,
Believe it or not it may take multiple or several restarts....not just a couple. I have seen where it took 5 or 6. I have also seen where this did not clear the problem.
re: "Any other upgrades that might help with out having to buy new software"
The 10.2.8 update to Jaguar was the last before the "upgrade" to 10.3 Panther which is a paid upgrade.
There is a third party utility Dragster that may correct this problem or you can delete the associated files that it deletes manually. The files are:
com.apple.desktop.plist
com.apple.dock.plist (your choice to delete this or not)
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.LaunchServices.LocalCache.csstore
com.apple.LaunchServices. plist
com.apple.LauchServices. UserCache.csstore
LSApplications
LSClaimedTypes
LSSchemes
The contents of the /Library/Caches/ folder
You should have no problem with this utility or deleting the files manually if you go that route but I cannot vouch for it as it is third party....Use at your own risk!
edit: I just noticed that the link is no longer working for Dragster and the software now is part of a retired collection of apps from ifthen software.
If after multiple restarts and/or using Dragster or manually deleting the associated problem files you have no luck you might want to try applying the 10.2.8 Combo Update again to see if this will clear up the problem. Remember to repair permissions from Disk Utility before and after the update.
The Combo Update can be found here.
Post back if still no luck,

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 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.

Derek,IE11 is having some compatibility issues with the share point.Apart from IE11,it should work on IE10,9 and Firefox and chrome as well.
Please check the links below that explains the issues with IE11 and the functionality of Drag and drop and limitations as-well.
1.Since SharePoint 2013 fully support IE 32-bit version above 7, there might be compatibility issue with other browsers. I’d recommend you use IE 8,9,10 32-bit for optimal Performance.
2. Open the same document library in Internet Explorer as this functions does not work with Firefox or Chrome by default
3. Make sure the IE (Internet Explorer) Version should be 32-bit and not a 64-bit
