Drag and Drop stopped

I used to be able to drag and drop podcasts from iTunes to my Ipod. However, I can no longer do that. I have had to start syncing in order to load podcasts onto my iPod. This seemed to change at around the same time that I purchased an iPad and began syncing to it via iTunes as well...any suggestion? Thanks.

Did you try resetting your iPod?

Drag and Drop stops working!

I have been using various versions of Final Cut for the last several years, and other similar video editors for much longer (finally left the world of the PC for video editing a few years ago!).
I am excited by Final Cut Pro X and am learning it quickly. For some reason, very soon (as soon as 5 minutes in) the drag and drop functionality stops working. I can't drag clips from the browser, can't drag effects, etc. I know how to get the same results with keyboard shortcuts, but I'm just much faster with the ol' mouse.
I am in the midst of my first major project using FCPX and having to reboot (edit, restart FCPX, rebooting not necessary!) every 5 to 15 minutes to restore D&D is getting old!
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
The selection tool is selected (no settings are changed from when the program first boots).
The machine is an i3 with 12GB of RAM, so should have plenty of resources. Otherwise it's working like a champ!
Thanks for any help!!!

Drag and drop stops working in maverick

Hello,
running Maverick and running into this issue twice already.
I can't drag files in finder. I can select them, I can multiple select them by dragging, but clicking on them and draging them does not work at all until I reboot.
Anyone know of this issue?

Hello!
I just wanted you to know that I'm having the same problem. I just bought a Macbook Pro (maverick os) last week and today the drag and drop function stopped working. VERY frustrating since I use that function no less than 50 times a day. This is my first mac, so I was worried the solution was obvious and I just wasn't seeing it; then I found this thread. Glad to know I'm not crazy!
The restart solution does work, but I hate the idea of constantly restarting the computer. I will let you know if I find another solution.
Missing my pc a little now...

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.

Drag and Drop stopped working in iTunes

Just recently upgraded to latest iTunes 10.4, OS X 10.5.8 and Wacom driver 6.1.6-4. Drag and drop a selection to a playlist in iTunes no longer works. All was fine before iTunes/OS upgrade. Only upgraded Wacom to see if it made a difference which it didn't. Dragging and dropping with a USB mouse seems okay. I've noticed several similar problems on this board with no solution. Anyone else having this issue that has found a solution? Thanks.

Your case sounds very similar to mine. I a bit older Mac G5 running OS X 10.5.8. When I upgraded to iTunes 10.4 I found the drag and drop gone and a few other inconsistencies. I reloaded iTunes and now everything works pretty well, but if I go into the iTunes Store my drag and drop feature goes away. If i relaunch iTunes it comes back until I go in the Store again. Hoping someone more familiar with the OS and application details can point me in some direction. Thx

Drag and drop stopped working

I have a windows PC with windows 7
I am using iTunes 10
everything was working fine yesterday and then suddenly, when I try to drag and drop items from iTunes to my iPod classic I am unable to do so
If I select the songs to drag and hover over the playlist I want to drop them into, the cursor shows the no entry sign (circle with diagonal line), and am unable to do so
Everything is set up to manually manage music and videos
No updates have occurred on my PC
Have restarted iTunes and PC to no effect
I have plenty space on my iPod (47.2GB free)
Can anyone help?

Festy:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Dragging is dependent on the Helvetica font. Check with Font Book to make sure it's there and activated. It it's there and activated try deactivating and then reactivating it.
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.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Embed animate file in Dreamweaver, make the drag and drop stop working

The drag and drop works fine when I open the Animate file, but when I embed it using the "Media > Edge Animate", it does not work. How can I solve this problem?
I'm using an external js file.
Thanks.

Need you to share the dreamweaver project along with the edge animation, to check the issue.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like be LaunchServices.
Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Drag and Drop only partly functions in OSX Yosemite

I recently updated my Macbook Pro to OSX Yosemite and noticed a few weeks after the update, that Drag and Drop stopped working properly roughly 30mins after starting the MB. Drag and Drop still works in the Finder for dragging files, or ein Chrome for dragging a tab into a diferent window. But dragging files and programs into the Dock is impossible. the problem occurs in other programs such as MS Office, for changing the order of pages in a presentation, or in Itunes for dragging Albums into Playlists for example. Restarting helps, but only for the first moments after the start. I found in a different Discussion that deleting a Cache file from the Library (/Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist) didnt help (Link to the Discussion: Cannot drag and drop files in Finder on Yosemite 10.10
Thanks for your time in advance and i hope someone finds a solution as I dont want to reinstall the whole OSX

Backgorund:
Drag-drop suddenly stops working.
Temporary solutions:
4-5 reboots
Removing com.apple.finder.plist file
Have not tried:
Reinstall Yosemite
What I found out:
For me, I found out that it's not only about drag/drop - it's about the clipboard. As far as copy/paste went, "nothing" work anymore. Not drag and drop, not cmd+c, not Edit > Copy. I started experience the issue just yesterday I think - it came out of the blue.
However, a week ago I created an Automator scripts that review folder X for extension Y and then moves the file of said extension into a separate folder. Essentially, it's a cut and paste job that Automator does all the time.
Soluton:
Removed the Automator workflow i created from /users/username/library/workflows. Rebooted computer. Drag/drop and copy/paste has been working for over an hour.

Drag-and-drop issue with Linux, KDE

My application used to work fine, but when i tested it on Linux drag and drop stopped working.
I used snippet that would take list of supported DataFlavors of Transferable and used for loop to find a javafilelist one. (isJavaFileListType()).
Well, now, it does that flava scan, but it doesn't find javafilelisttype in the list!
I tried to retrieve String, serializedobject.. no use. It throws and illegal action exception of DnD or something like that.
Does anybody know what's wrong, or had similar issues? I use j2 of v 1.5.2
I shall provide you with more info if it's something totally new.

I'd be interested in the answer to this too.
It only just started happening to me a day or so ago, about the time that I think I did an OS upgrade.
I'm on OSX 10.8.2.
Its annoying.
I can drop and drag in Finder but it just affects email.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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.
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 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 login 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 the test.

Drag and Drop in Outlook 2010

Can you drag and drop an email into a folder or will it cause issues and possible corrupt the emails?

I can't remember where I found this, but if you repeatedly press Esc. Hey Presto - Drag 'n' Drop starts again. This works both in Outlook and outside in windows explorer.

Thank you for that one

Drag and Drop bookmarks doesn't work.

The drag and drop functionality when organising bookmarks stops working after organising a couple of bookmarks (When it works at all)! Is this a Safari bug? Does anybody know how to fix this?

I found the answer to my problems. The Torbutton add-on inhibits Drag and Drop functions (especially of Bookmarks). When I disable Torbutton, Drag and Drop works again. When I enable it, Drag and Drop stops. So, obviously, I disable it whenever I want to manually sort items with Drag and Drop.
I have read that there are about 5 or 6 other add-ons that also inhibit Drag and Drop functionality, not just the Torbutton add-on. The list is somewhere in the main Firefox support section (but it's tough to find the answer there twice).
The generic add-on troubleshooting page is at:

Drag and Drop Broken

After using my computer a little bit, even with few programs open, drag and drop stops working systemwide. I can't drag anything. Right now I've got Mail, Preview, TextMate, Adium, Quicksilver, DragThing, and Google Notifier running.
Restartng fixes it briefly, but it comes back soon. I've tried deleting various caches and preferences like other threads suggest for earlier versions of OS X, with no effect.

Hi, D.
1. You wrote: "I've tried deleting various caches and preferences like other threads suggest for earlier versions of OS X, with no effect."Without knowing exactly what items you tried removing, I'd suggest — as a general check — running run the Procedure outlined in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
2. An errant Startup or Login Item maybe the cause. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
3. If none of the above helps, see if you can narrow it down to a specific application, e.g. if the problem only occurs after you launch a specific — and probably third-party — application.
4. Immediately after the problem occurs, check the ends of these Console logs for clues, such as messages relating to PBS or Pasteboard Server.
Good luck!

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.

CEO: What exactly is stopping us from doing this?
Expert: Geometry
