I can no longer drag and drop videos from e-mail to iPhoto !!

Now all is updated, I can no longer drag and drop video attachments from e-mail to i-photo !
Anyone help ?

In the Mail window Command (right) - click on the movie and select either Save Attachment or Save to Downloads Folder from the contextual menu.
Or move the cursor to the dividing line between the head and body of the email so these options appear and click on the attachment button.

I can no longer drag and drop emails from inbox into folder...

When I try to sort my inbox as I have been doing all day (just today switched from Entourage to Mail), suddenly I can't anymore! It just turns the email headline gray and won't put it in the folder. With hundreds of emails per day, I HAVE to be able to sort into other folders to keep track!
Any suggestions?

In the Mail window Command (right) - click on the movie and select either Save Attachment or Save to Downloads Folder from the contextual menu.

Why can't I drag and drop songs from one playlist to another?

All of a sudden I can no longer drag and drop songs from one playlist to another. The only way I can do it now is by selecting the song[s], right click on them, and then choose "Move to playlist...." Any thoughts?

Yes! This is really annoying. I don't know why they couldn't keep the functionality from the old version. The more I use the new iTunes the less I like it.

Can no longer drag and drop anything

I've been searching the forums for an answer, but can't seem to find this topic. I can no longer drag and drop anything in the finder. I first noticed this when trying to drag and drop songs in iTunes to a playlist -- nothing would "drop."
Now I've noticed that I can't drag and drop anything anywhere. No files will drop to software, I can't drag files from one folder to another, nor can I drop files to a different hard drive.
This was all working fine yesterday, and I haven't made any changes to my system in the interim. All I've done is restart after discovering the problem, but that didn't fix anything.
Any ideas?

Where have you looked? What did you use? Double-click on the boot volume's Desktop icon, CMD+J, select list view, click on Users triangle, then your username's triangle, then its Library triangle, then its Preferences triangle. In that folder is com.apple.finder.plist. It exists for all user accounts. Without it, your machine won't work.

With new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did in the past with iPhoto.

With the new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did with iPhoto. For instance, I have a photo collage app that in the past, I could just drag in the photos I wanted to include. Now, I can DRAG the photos, but they do not DROP. So, I have to go through the export process. It is tedious. What am I missing? Where can I turn on the drag and drop feature for Photos?

YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
As I sid above:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

I can no longer drag and drop my bookmarks or url icons

All of a sudden I can no longer drag and drop my bookmarks around the sidebar or drag url icons into the toolbar or sidebar. The problem seems to have coincided with the download of 3.6.14. The only other thing I did around that time was download Adobe Reader X (10.0.1).

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5 Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library... or File/Add Folder to Library...
Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
Do either of the following:
1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
Steps
1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
To resolve it from within Itunes I did : Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
Click OK.
Closed iTunes/
Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
Works fine now.

Can no longer drag and drop photos to a backup harddrive.

New to Mac
I have previously been able to drag photos, I don't recall if individually or in events, to a backup hardrive. It appears I have lost the ability to do so. I am unsure if I am now doing it incorrectly or there is some fault in the OS. I was successful weeks ago, then I failed at an attempt. I tried again recently with no luck. I select the pics and get the green + and then the white striped circle as I hold the images over any portion of the backup drive. I tried the Helvetica font toggle and a restart with no luck. I enabled sharing in the iphoto preferences........... Suggestions? Btw the time machine backup seems to be working to a different hard drive.
Thanks
Matt

What I'm not sure about: Can you simpyl drag and drop to the desktop?
If not the
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Can no longer drag and drop into my iPhone after iOS 7.0.3.

I'm not entirely sure what is up with this but it's excruciatingly frustrating.
I updated my iPhone 4S 64GB to iOS 7.0.3 the other day. When I plugged it into my car to play some music I noticed that most of the songs in my playlists showed up as being on the phone but they would be skipped over until the music app came to a song that was purchased in Itunes on the phone.
So, I plugged the phone into my PC thinking that it needed to be synced. I then noticed that all the songs on my phone have dotted grey circles beside them.
I deleted all the music off the phone and attempted to drag and drop files from my library back into the phone. As I already have 'Manage Music' checked, this normally resulted in the songs effortlessly being hurled through cyberspace or via a cord to my iPhone.
Now, however, all my songs that I attempt to place on my phone show up as greyed-out with Mr. Dotted Circle beside them.
What the gee-golly-willikers is this all about?

Have you checked the manually manage music box?

Why can't I drag and drop songs from my PC onto my iTunes?

Hi, I am unable to drag and drop music from my PC to iTunes. I have always done it this way. Anyone else having problems?

Hi B-rock, yes I have tried adding to library but still no luck. I am also up to date on the latest version on my iPhone and iPod.
I ended up burning the MP3's to a CD then transporting them to my iTunes when I inserted the CD into my PC!
This has only started happening since I updated!

I can no longer drag and drop pages into my bookmarks toolbar in the new firefox

I uninstalled firefox to try google crome. Now i have uninstalled crome, and gone back to firefox. After restarted my computer i put the bookmark toolbar up but i can no longer drag sites into the bar. When i do it opens them in a whole new window.
When i used this before i would have saved tabs in my bookmarks for easy use,
Is this a bug or am i doing somthing wrong
Thanks
Mandy

for me the problem was caused by the Torbutton add-on.
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:

I can no longer drag and drop bookmarks

I have used Firefox for several years and can no longer utilize my bookmarks toolbar. Yes, I know that you must drag and drop from the globe and/or lock icon (I have done this for years) but now all of a sudden it isn't working. I can not drag anything to my "Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar Plus" 1.2" which was updated on 2/27/15. When I attempt to drag a website to add to the toolbar I get a circle with the line through it (kind of like a no smoking sign etc). Any help is greatly appreciated

Any luck if you keep the Ctrl key pressed when dragging the link to initiate a copy?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

I can no longer drag and drop things in Photoshop Elements 12. I can move things with my keyboard, but not my mouse. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

When I got Elements 12 (May 2014), I was able to drag and drop things such as cut/pasted items, watermarks, etc. As of 2 weeks ago, I can no longer use my mouse to drag and drop. If I try, it just snaps back wherever it was before I tried to drag it. With that said, the item will move if I use my keyboard. It takes an eternity. WHAT IS GOING ON?! I just really want to use my mouse again...

Install the 10.10.1 update. That should do it.

I can no longer drag and drop a website onto my desktop. NOW I have to go through hoops to get anything I want onto my desktop ! this *****

I had Leopard. I jumped to Mountain Lion. Sorry sorry sorry I did.   Many things are stupidly difficult to do, minor tasks, that once were EASY.
I USED to be able to go onto a website, then DRAG AND DROP the ICON from it ONTO my desktop. NO MORE.   Frankly, there is NOW no easy way that I've found ..........May I also say, Mountain Lion is one horrendous piece of ........##@@!!!.   I gave my old iMac to a friend after upgrading it for her...with Mountain Lion.   I wish to God I'd not tormented her with that OSX. I wish to God I'd not tormented myself with it on my own iMac.
Someone tell me......there MUST be an easy way to Drag/drop a website to my desktop for regular use??? IF NOT, we have YET another glitch on this stupid OSX.
I have 10.8.2. 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 4GB 21.5 screen (2011)

I realize my post made me appear UNcalm. Sorry. I am rather irritated by this and have been.
When I now go to any website, I can only go on it by clicking FULL page. In other words, I can get to it by 2 ways, by putting it into the "google" bar, or by FULL screening to type in http....www....etc.
I am then in Full screen to access any website. THEN,   I can no longer drag/drop the website's Icon to my desktop.......If I diminish, I lose the website. It may bring up the same site, but will not let me drag the site's icon ONTO my desktop to use in the future.
That seems to have disappeared with Mountain Lion. I was able to do it with ease on Leopard.
Repeat:
In Leopard, I would go to a website and could drag that website's icon ONTO my desktop. Period.
I am no longer able to do this with Mountain Lion.
If I try to drag anything, NOTHING happens OTHER than it replicates the page...it does not place an icon on my desktop to use in the future.
I am CALM. I AM frustrated.
