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

I used to be able to drag and drop emails into folders that I have set up in mail. Now I cannot do this. I am running Mac OS X Ver 10.7.4. Any ideas?

Do you get any error messages?

Unable to drag and drop emails into folders

Since updating to iCloud/ios5 I am unable drag and drop emails into folders I have set up. Additionally, if I right mouse click and say 'Move to' it takes four or five times of selecting a folder for the emails to actually move. Suggestions?

Thanks, Linc. As a Mac user since the 80s, relaunch/reboot is always the first thing I try, and yes, that usually fixes many issues :-) But not this one. That being said, the Mac, she is a mysterious thing... I did relaunch/reboot yesterday afternoon to no avail. Shut down completely last night, rebooted this morning... Still didn't work....and then this afternoon, because it is habit, I grabbed an email to file and voilà ~ it is now working again. I am stumped as to what that was all about... Thank you for the reply.

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:

Can't Drag and Drop from Bridge/Folders anymore. Trashing Preferences didn't work

My Indesign CS4 is acting up.
I can no longer drag and drop from Bridge into my layouts, nor does it work from my PC folders to the layout.
I tried accessing the two preferences folder on my Vista as suggested here: http://indesignsecrets.com/rebuilding-indesign-preferences.php
That didn't work and I don't think the rebuilt worked because the files didn't recreate itself, I had to bring the copies back in.
Any idea what's going on and what to do?
Thanks!!!
Amy

There are actually two files in the ID prefs set that usually need to be removed together when things act up. See Replace Your Preferences

Can't drag and drop email addresses into Mail's search field

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I am no longer able to grab an email address from "To:" and "CC:", and drag it to the seach field in Mail. The green + sign shows up like it's going to add the address, but when I release the mouse button, the search field is left blank.

... and re-typing the whole address works for my Mom. I, however, prefer increased functionality with my upgrades, not the other way around.

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 eamils in Hotmail.

Hello,
I opened up Hotmail today but can't drag and drop emails as usual. I am still able to open and read them but I can't move them to other folders unless I use the check boxes and "Move to" drop down menu.
Hotmail is sill working normally with Internet Explorer so it must be a Hotmail issue. I have tried deleting the cache and the Hotmail cookies (as least I think they were Hotmail cookies).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update:
As of today, it is working for me in both Firefox and Chrome again. :) You never realize how much you miss the little things you use often until they break... *lol*

IE10 on Win7 and OWA 2010 can't drag and drop

I've upgraded to IE10 for win7. When I login to OWA for exchange 2010, I notice I can't drag and drop emails into any folders. Compatibility mode doesn't work either. The only way for it to work is to go into developer mode and force "Document
Mode" to "IE 9 standards".
How do we post bugs for the exchange team to fix? I'm sure they have to update the OWA code to fix this.

Same here. Notifications can't be retrieved... but oddly enough, if there is an appt. the notification pop-up still works. Email notifications still work. But I get the error message that notifications can't be retrieved. Drag/Drop does not work.
Of course, everything works fine in every other browser.
This tends to imply that the programmers of OWA are using Chrome (or something other than IE) to do their development. Can't say that I blame them.
Setting the document mode to IE 9 does NOT work for me. I have also installed SP3 and RU1.
Thanks,
Dirk

Can't drag and drop or copy paste

I have an iMac with a fusion drive using yosemite. It started a couple weeks ago where the progress bar would not show up during copying files. It seems I can not drag and drop files between folders, drives, or jump drives. I also notice some files that are grayed out that appear to be some of the files I wanted to move or copy on my external drives. They say they were created in 1969 and modified in 1984. I cannot delete these at all. I fixed permissions, restarted, and reinstalled Yosemite. I tried deleting a file in the library/preferences called com.apple.finder, which did not do anything either. Any Ideas?

Select the item in the Finder and open the Info window. If the Created date is January 24, 1984, see below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Select the text on the line below by dragging across it. Don't include the blank space at the end of the line. Only the text should be highlighted.
touch -t 198001010000
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V, then press the space bar.
Now switch to the Finder and and select the item(s) in question. Drag into the Terminal window. More text will be added to what you entered.
Click in the Terminal window to activate it, then press return.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear. You can then quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder.

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.

Drag and drop emails

I have an application which is mapi compliant. I would like to drag and drop emails directly from groupwise but it does not work. I can drag them to the desktop or taskbar and then into the application but not directly from groupwise. Is this a groupwise problem or the application?

I fail to see what MAPI has to do with it. But more info about the app
might be useful.

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.
