How do you drag files into folders on the new mountain lion?

When i select the file i want to drag into a folder, it drags normally but i can not place it in the new folder. nothing fancy just rying to move pictures into the same folder.
Thanks

Hi there...
I'm in the same boat.
I clean installed Mountain Lion no problems, everything seems to be a little quicker even... .a bonus.
But then I stumbled across something.
I am unable to move or drag files around.
Let's say I have a file jpg in the desktop, and I want to move it to the pictures folder... Normally I would just hold down the trackpad, and physically move it in to the open pictures finder... but it just will not move. I can select it, open it, rename it, everything... but I just cannot drag anything anywhere.
Lets say the jpg on my desktop needs work and I want to open it in Photoshop. I have the Photoshop icon in my Dock, and for years have simply dragged whatever jpg onto the PHotoshop icon in the Dock to open it.. .but now I can't.
At the moment I am copy/pasting everything, which is time consuming and sooo annoying you have no idea.
I just wanted to move a AVI from my downloads to the desktop. I had to copy, paste, then delete from downloads... ***?!?!
Am I the only one experiencing this problem??
Please let me know.

TS4009 How do you drop files into storage

How do you drop files into storage, and how do others find your public storage so they can download files you have put into iCloud?

iCloud does not provide general file storage, nor a Public Folder, in the manner of the MobileMe iDisk. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

All of a sudden, I am unable to click-and-drag files into folders?

I have a 2012 Macbook Air 11". I was dragging files into folders and then all of a sudden I couldn't. All I can do is copy and paste...frustrating.
I tried accessibility settings, enabling dragging but that didn't change anything. Any suggestions?

Restart your Mac and try again.

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

Copy and paste works. But drag and drop is also back in version 3.2. It works well here. Just drag and drop onto the canvas.Make sure you've upgraded to version 3.2 as earlier versions of Number 3 did not support drag and drop from Contacts.
Note that the column headers are misaligned if you are dragging contacts that do not contain an image. But the information in the body of the table drags in correctly.

How do you drag and drop samples in the ex24 on pro x now that the edit button next to the option tab is no longer there?

Well, it's aggravating seeing foolish limitations to the program. Having some experience in education, offering a professional program in a limited version is condescending to the user and has never been proven to help students move forward. Plus, some of the choices made to keep Logic simple are confounding... "removing the edit button on the EXS24"? That's silly!

How do you view lyrics on itouch with the new Jan. software update??

How do you view lyrics on itouch with the new Jan. software update??
Thanks!!

1) You need to have the paid upgrade installed.
2) You need to paste the lyrics into the lyrics tab of a song/album.
3) You need to re-sync the Touch.
4) When playing music, you click on the album cover (in portrait mode only) and the lyrics will superimpose on the screen.

I worked out why my computer was nolonger reading cd disks. The new update of i tunes did not load correctly on my computer. I took itunes off and then reloaded the new update of itunes. As soon as I did this my computer would read disks again and the software had the import cd section that was missing before. I also went into preferences and general and highlited import cd. Hope this may help others.

Tell Apple what additional features you want in Photos via both http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html since they don't have a feedback page for Photos as yet.

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

Can't drag files into folders in PDF portfolio

I have created a PDF portfolio that contains primarily PDFs converted from e-mail messages, along with a few files from various Microsoft Office products. The portfolio has been added to over time, and now we have almost 100 files in the portfolio, so we'd like to organize these files into folders so it is easier to use.
However, when I create a folder, I am not able to drag any files into it. I've tried all different types of files--PDFs, Word, PowerPoint--when I drag the file on top of the folder, I get the circle backslash symbol indicating the function is not allowed. I can't find any information about this in the Help files; every tutorial I've looked at indicates that I should be able to drag and drop files wherever I like, but doesn't mention what to do if I can't.
I'm using Acrobat Pro X on Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
Any suggestions about why this might be happening and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to have to recreate the whole thing, but it's not going to be very useful if we continue adding unorganized files.
Thanks,
Lisa

I tried a different layout (I had a custom layout set up; I switched to the standard Grid), and I still can't drag and drop.
I just now created a new portfolio with a few of the same files, and I was able to drag the files into a folder I created.
Yes, the original portfolio was created in Acrobat 9.
Thanks,
Lisa
