MACBOOK PRO WITH YOSEMITE X CANNOT DRAG AND DROP EMAILS FROM INBOX TO OTHER FOLDERS WHY?

I have just bought a replacement macbook pro and installed the backup from my old machine so everything looks and feels the same, however the above problem has appeared. I can move files using "move to" but find this method clunky.
Can this be easily fixed? Not sure shy I should suddenly need to compact folders etc when this was not necessary on my old machine this morning and I have only sent two emails and received about 10 since then.
thanks.

I have compaction set up to happen automatically so this is not the problem. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

  • 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. 
    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 reinstalled Lion and now I cannot drag and drop photos from the internet to my desktop

    My Macbookpro was giving me a startup disk full message so I emptied out my photo library and itunes library to an external drive. By then I think the damage was done because I was still encountering the spinning color wheel all the time. On the advice of he Genius bar I reinstalled Lion. It worked well except for this one glitch. I can no longer drag and drop photos from the internet. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

    That sounds like a browser issue so what browser and what web sites?

  • Macbook Pro, Snow Leopard , can't drag and drop?

    I have a 13" Macbook Pro and I am unable to drag and drop with my trackpad but I can with a wired mouse.  I have reinstalled Snow Leopard and checked every conceivable setting and checked the trackpad.  The trackpad will do everything else but 'drag and drop".  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Sounds as if it may be a hardware issue with your trackpad - I would take it into your local Apple Store or an AASP and let them run diagnostic tests on the trackpad. If you've already reinstalled SL, that would be my suggestion.
    Good luck,

  • Cannot drag and drop image from Safari to Desktop - drop location is unavai

    Drag and drop an image from Safari 2.0.4 to the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Desktop does not save it. Console says:
    "drop location is unavailable"
    Control click over the image and "Save Linked File to the Desktop" works as expected.
    Any hint most welcome. Thanks.

    Why not simply adjust the link for the image in the Links palette? Certainly could be contained in an action, if need be for duplicating and exporting multiple images...

  • Cannot drag and drop file from photos app to photoshop

    Hi,
    I'm trying to open a file saved in my Photos library in Photoshop. Previously in iPhoto I could drag and drop the file to open in other applications including Photoshop but this functionality appears to be missing in the new Photos app. Am i missing something? Or is there another way to do it?
    thanks

    Tristan,
    I am stuck in the same place. Perhaps we could work on this together.
    I am trying to drag a single item from a JList to a text editor, Word, etc. I have two problems:
    1) I can't seem to get just the item in the JList to drag. It wants to drag the entire JList component.
    2) How does one define the remote application as the drop target? Have not found any examples either.
    Is the drop target actually the system clipboard?

  • Cannot drag and drop books from ADE onto Nook

    I just got my nook, downloaded ADE
    and a book from a publice library. I am unable to drag the book title off the ADE "black
    screen". My nook and computer are both authorized but when I click on the title of the book to drag it
    , there is a red circle with a black X in it and the "drag" will not leave the
    ADE page. Please help!

    I reinstalled ADE and also changed the USB port I was using. No problems.
    I've called BN tech support twice and they've been very helpful.

  • I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you ad

    I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you advise?  During installation emptied cache, etc. Backed up using time machine, fortunately.

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

    From reading Vista forums support for SSD is one of the things Vista SP2 and Windows 7 hope (need) to improve upon. I was in a similar discussion once befoe on SSDs:

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-US&q=IntelSSDVista
    I don't think it is EFI issue, but with XP and drivers, lack, and wonder if you can try with Vista?

    That won't solve performance issues, but should work.
    http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/07/22/sandiskssd_vistabeef/
    "My guess is that [Samsung and Microsoft] are maybe working on the OS recognizing an SSD with a 4K-byte sector size instead of a hard disk drive with a 512-byte sector size," Wong said.
    Sun is already working with Samsung to bulk up SSD support on the ZFS (Zettabyte File System), which is included in the Solaris OS, and will also be supported in Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.6, codenamed Snow Leopard. Sun is adding capabilities to boost the durability and performance of SSDs on ZFS-based operating systems. For example, Sun may add defragmentation capabilities for SSDs, which organizes data in a particular order to enable quicker data access.
    SSDs were not considered ideal for defragmentation because of limited read-and-write capabilities, Wong said. However, Samsung and Sun in July jointly announced an 8G-byte SSD that bumped up durability from 100,000 read-and-write cycles to 500,000. That brings defragmentation in SSDs closer to reality, which could improve its caching and provide quicker access to data. Sun plans to put SSDs into storage products later this year.

  • MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8.5 and new Skype Installation

    I have a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8.5 and would like to install SKYPE now that I have a new granddaughter on the way. I have read all sorts of horror stories about Skype crashing the system with this operating system, etc. I have NOT installed Maverick,but regularly keep all updates installed and up to date. Does anyone know if the problems presented by this OS and Skype have been resolved yet?  If I do choose to install Skype (I assume following instructions on the Skype site) is there anything I should watch for or be wary of?  I also have a new iPad and hope to use SKYPE on it when travelling.

    Goodmorning, Hands4
    I have tried to install SKYPE on my MacBook Pro, by going to Skype and Download for Macs. It downloads OK into the Downloads folder and I can drag it into my applications folder as per instructions from the Skype site. HOWEVER, when I double click to open it and to sign in, I get a message " Skype cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developerYour security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers."   When I push the help button, I see that one has an option to override the security and allow installation. I am nervous to do that as I don't want any viruses, etc.  I have tried to go to the MacApp Store, but can only find apps for iPad and iPhone. Can't seem to see any for my laptop.
    Thanks again for your assistance.

  • Cannot drag and drop PDF pages in Yosemite Preview App

    I suddenly cannot drag and drop PDF pages into the open preview PDF Yosemite> Why?
    I open a PDF in preview.
    I used to be able to simply drag a PDF from the desktop (or a JPG) into that open PDF in Preview.
    Now it won;t let me?
    Is this a bug or is there a new procedure for this?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    Have you run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" apps on your Mac or have any antivirus software installed?
    Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and the disk.  Reboot normally and try again.
    If the above fails reboot into the Recovery volume and reinstall the system. Repair disk permissions afterward.
    Also, as a test, log into another user account on your Mac and see if the problem persists there.  If it does then it's a system wide issue.  If not, it's an account issue.
