I can't drag and drop (download) attachments in Mac Mail

The attachment, a PDF, will get stuck to the cursor for about 1 minute. Have to do a force quit. This is beyond a major headache. I have even tried right-clicking and doing a copy / paste. Seems like it won't copy to the clipboard (or whatever the Mac lingo is for that?)

Can't drag and drop from Address Book to Mail?

Hi,
I have always used Address Book to store my email contact information in SL. When I wanted to send an email, I would drag and drop from Address Book to the "To:" field in Mail and it would add the contact information to Mail. I upgraded to Lion, and now when I try this, the address icon moves like it should, the little green circle with the + in it appears when I hover over the field, but when I release it does not add the address to Mail. The drag and drop does not work at all, but it looks like it should. I have searched all around but have not found any information about this. Does anyone know what's up with this? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

Are you dragging from the actual AddressBook application, or the Address icon you can add to the NewMail and Reply toolbars in Mail? (It ought to be there by default, but isn't).
Either should work, but if AB doesn't, try the icon method:

I can't drag and drop emails to folders in mail

Do you get any error messages?

Can't drag and drop attachments in mail. Major issue!

I have to restart the computer to drag and drop attachments to an email. If I want to do another drag and drop to another email I have to restart again to make it work. It is a real pain. Do any of you guys know if their is a file I can trash to make this work or I have to wait till apple has a update to fix this? Thanks.

When this happens can you drag and drop regular files and icons etc?
I did a clean install, setup several user accounts last night. Dragging and dropping was working in my main user account last night. This morning (computer on all night) I could not drag and drop anything in that particular user account including mail attachements. Other accounts worked fine. Thought it was a permissions issue but they were fine.
Ended up trashing the user account and resetting it up and everything back to normal.

Can't drag and drop attachments into mail fullscreen

Have a weird issue. In lion I could drag and drog into a new mail message by dragging the attachment to the hot corner then to the fullscreen mail app then onto the new mail message.
Now for some reason in Mt. Lion it will no longer do this.
I can do it when mail is not in full screen mode or if I create a new mail message in another desktop.
Any suggestions?
And no I do not have air display on this computer (did do a search before posting)
Thanks!

HT203128 I can't drag and drop music from iTunes 12 to iOS 8 iPhone 5s. How do I move music now?

I connect the iPhone to itunes. that works. Everything shows up fine, but I can't drag and drop music from the 'music' section of iTunes 12 on my new mbp or my iMac. I used to be able to. Also, when I slide to delete songs on the iPhone, they still appear as 'ghosts' in the list on iTunes when the phone is connected - if I double click them, a exclamation mark in a circle comes up on the left of the track and it doesn't play. Can anyone help? Kind of need to get this sorted - it's bloody frustrating. I've restarted iPhone, iMac, MBP, downloaded the latest versions of iOS, OS X 10.10.3.

you iphone does not work like a regular ipod, where you can drag and drop music, you must sync it with itunes. plug it into your computer, click on the icon that is labeled iphone. when you do this there is a section on the top that says music. click on that, then you can select playlists and artists, etc. then click apply. it should work then

Thanks for any advice

Can't drag and drop music to iphone5

I updated to the latest Itunes, plugged my new Iphone5 in and "restore from previous Iphone back up" It did it fine, then i went to manage music manually and checked the boxes for all the artists I wanted on my new phone. Sync it to my phone and all seemed ok. Prior to this I downloaded 250 songs off the cloud so I had some music while I updated my computer so I could run Itunes for Iphone5. When I sync everything it doubled up the 250 songs that were on there. then some worked and some just skipped over and went to the next song. I want to delete the doubles off my phone and re-enstall the music which i can't do from Itunes and when i do it from my phone its gone on the phone but still on the "on this phone" in itunes. I can't drag and drop any music onto my phone and when i go to "music" on my phone from itunes it says i have to erase all content and sync with this computer. this is the only computer and only account it has ever seen.

Tried that, I can get almost all my music except one album (the album I want). I deleted it off my phone by swiping then hitting delete. It does not show up on my phone but it does say that it is on my phone when i plug into itunes. I can't drag and drop it, I checked the box for that album and it didn't transfer. No idea what to do. How can I even just use Itunes to delete music off my phone? Used to be able to highlight and then right click and then delete, not anymore.

Can't Drag and Drop in iTunes 10!

This was driving me crazy! You can't move tracks within a playlist or drag and drop content from iTunes to your iPod.
I hope that Apple will fix this soon! Until Apple fixes this, your best bet is to download iTunes 9. I did, and all my drag
and drop functionality is back.
Downloaded it here: iTunes9.dmg

I'm having the same problem, I can't drag and drop anything to or from anywhere in iTunes.
I've also found a workaround. It's a PITA, and a kludge, but it works every time. The problem is, it only works for one item or multiple items in a single folder at a time.
if you right click on the song, and select "Show in Finder", you can drag the raw file from the finder window into your ipod/ipad and into playlists.

Can't drag and drop anymore in iPhoto

Today I was trying to rearrange some photos and found I could no longer drag photos from my library (or any other album) and put them in a new album. I could select but they wouldn't move over. I tried copy and paste but those functions didn't work either.
I was able to make a smart album that would move photos over based on the conditions I set. But I can't drag and drop.
Anybody know how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Steven:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In case there is an access problem with some of those files try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. See if that will help.
The reason I'm thinking an access problem, you can do an edit and move the modified version which it creates and would have the correct access. Worth a try anyway.
Do you Twango?

HT4236 can I drag and drop files on to my ipad?

Can l drag and drop files to my new ipad or do l have to use iTunes?
To be honest l find iTunes a bit user unfriendly.
Thanks for any info

There are apps that will let you drag and drop files from the computer to the iPad. I have an app called File Manager Folder + that will let you drag and top files and also transfer them via WiFi. It's a pretty useful app actually.
Check it out here.

You also need to download an app on your computer, which is free, in order for this to work.

I can't drag and drop iTunes music to desktop

I can't drag and drop music from iTunes to my desktop since Lion upgrade. I just bought the music last month so it isn't iTunes ACC protected. I want to edit the song in GarageBand also.
Thanks

I got my similar problem fixed (thank god)
Hope this will help
I tried totalfinder before i upgraded to lion and i guess i did not make a clean uninstal so i downloaded the total finder dmg file and used the uninstaler and that solved my problem
The uninstaler did relaunch the finder wich could also been the fix
So i suggest you try and relaunch your finder
Here is how you relaunch your finder incase you dont know
Click on the apple logo in the top left corner select Force Quit and then select finder in the fore quit menu and click relaunch

I can't drag and drop iTunes music files into Roxio Jam 6 anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the " " or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? G5 Dual 2 Ghz and OS 10.4.11

Hi. I have not used Roxio Jam for quite a long time and I just wanted to make a few CDs. Jam used to work easily and well. I have a problem. I can't drag and drop iTunes music files anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the "+" or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? I trashed the preferences file and restarted Jam to no avail. I also have selected that Jam should open files with iTunes in the Jam preferences. I have a G5 DP 2Ghz PPC machine with OS 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 and Quicktime's version is 7.6.4. I have 2 GB of RAM and the machine has dual 1.25 Ghz. processors plus a 500 GB HD. Can anybody give me any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

I found an solution.
Uninstalling AirParrot as well as the two offending AirParrotDriver.kext and APExtFramebuffer.kext files in System>Library>Extensions was the fix. All problems disappeared.
