Drag & Drop doesn't work in XP64!?

That's a strange one... I've built a Flex interface
that run's fine in XP32. Now I try to run that with Firefox 32 and
the most recent Flash Player, and drag and drop doesn't work :-(
The drag does not even start. Beside that problem, the app
works fine.
Any ideas, helpful hints or suggestions?
Thanks a million
Klaus

Jonas,
do you have a backup of the documents in iCloud Drive?
Then try the following:
Open the System Preferences > iCloud panel and click the "options" for iCloud Drive.
Then disable "Pages" on iCloud Drive.
Close the System preferences and restart the Mac. Now enable "Pages" again.
This should download fresh copies of your Pages documents from iCloud and may take a while.

Drag & Drop doesn't work in PSE12

In PSE12 I cannot drag and drop an open photo to another open photo. I can use copy & paste.

Drag and drop is fully implemented in PSE12 so it is a problem at your end. Do you have another mouse you could try with? If not try removing the mouse driver and then restarting your machine so it reinstalls the driver. NB: you'll need to do the restart just with the keyboard so make sure you know how to do that before removing the mouse driver.
Cheers,
Neale

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 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.

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 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.

Mail drop doesn't work

When I try to use Mail Drop Apple Mail responds
'Attachement can't be send by Mail Drop' - 'try later again'
But it doesn't work. I have an iCloud account of course.
Any ideas?

Pushed the wrong button, sorry! It didn't solve my problem.
I have tried several file sizes but never bigger than 3Gb. I know that Mail Drop is limitated to 5Gb.

Since upgrading to iTunes 10.5.2 Drag&Drop no longer works in iTunes. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

When I upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2 I lost the ability to Drag&Drop. I started a new playlist and I could only add songs by cut and paste, and once they were on the list I can’t rearrange them in any other order.

I realized I can't drag and drop either, but I barely have any songs and I've never noticed if this feature was there before 10.5.2. Is this only on a playlist?

Drag & drop albums not working in iphoto

I am using iphoto 11 version 9.4.2 I used to be able to drag & drop my albums into a preferred order. Now when I try to move a particular album within the album section by dragging & dropping, a new folder is created containing the album I was trying to move. How can I move albums into a particular order. Why are folders being created when I try to move albums?

I'm able to sort albums both way, inside folders and those out of folders. The feature exists. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos, create a number of albums and albums in a folder and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it? I'm running iPhoto 9.4.3 on 10.8.4.

Drag n' drop doesn't work

When I drag photos from iPhoto to desktop or a folder in the Finder, it seems to copy the files - and then all of the files disappear! I can export the files, but why doesn't the drag n' drop work? I'm using Lion and iPhoto 11.

Create a folder on the Desktop and see if you can drag and drop onto it. If not then make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a viable backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
