Mouse not clicking and dragging

My mouse pointer responds well to moving around the screen and double ckicking etc. However when I try to click and drag it 'loses' the object (file name or card in Freecell) or will not select all that I shift& drag. All the drivers are up to date. I have removed, waited and then replaced the Bluetooth USB fitting in the back of the computer and the batteries are fresh. Any Ideas?

Hello again @itsmagicvi,
If you have tried a different mouse on your computer and it is not happening to that mouse I suspect that your Microsoft Mouse is the problem and suggest you contact Microsoft on their forums at Microsoft Community as they may have addressed this issue with their hardware before.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • IPhoto and Frontrow: can not click and drag after using frontrow slide show

    Recently I received my new MacBook Pro, I started using iPhoto and noticed the following problem:
    1. Open iPhoto and perform normal tasks, click and drag photos, etc.
    2. Close i-Photo
    3. Open Frontrow Slide Show(Pictures)- play for a few seconds
    4. Close Frontrow
    5. Reopen i-Photo and photos will not move(click/drag)
    6. Close i-Photo/reopen and all is fine
    Anyone else???
    Thanks!

    I discover that there is no parameter to set slide duration
    Using the Finder, drag all the images from the folder containing the images on to the Navigator pane ion Keynote, this will place the images centred on an individual slide
    with at least one image selected in the Navigator, select all, (command A)
    Inspector > Animate > Start transition: in the drop down menu, select:   Automatically
    seethe delay to the time you want the image to appear on screen, you can select individual times by selecting one slide at a time
    and no choice of slide transition and timing
    Inspector > Animate, click Add an Effect
    The Inspector is the side panel on the right hand side of the canvas

  • Unable to click and drag photos to trash, folders

    Working on downloading 2000 photos from cruise. 6.06 quit unexpectedly and lost whole library. Have recovered those but has happened twice since. Also CAN NOT CLICK AND DRAG PHOTOS ANYMORE!

    Sounds like a corrupted library - how did you recover from the problem? Have you rebuilt the library? using iPhoto? using iPhoto Library Manager?

  • Mouse will not perform click and drag

    My Magic Mouse will not perform click-and-drag function anymore after Mavericks.

  • The MacBook Pro will not allow me to cut-and-paste to and from or to click-and-drag to the external drive. I can copy-and-paste, but then I must send the original to the trash, which doubles the time and effort. Is there any way to cut-and-paste?

    I have recently switched from a PC to a MacBook Pro.
    I have a large number of documents and photographs on a multiterrabite external drive, backed up on a second multiterrabite external drive.
    Both external drives are formatted for MacIntosh. This has been verified by agents at an Apple store and also at Best Buy in two different cities.
    This is the problem:
    The MacBook Pro will not allow me to cut-and-paste to and from or to click-and-drag to the external drive. I can copy-and-paste, but then I must send the original to the trash, which doubles the time and effort. Is there any way to cut-and-paste?
    Also, the MacBook Pro will not allow me to rename multiple documents or photographs. I can click-and-rename a single one, but this is impossibly time consuming. I can batch-rename in iPhoto, but when I transfer the photographs to the external drive, the rename does not transfer.
    I’m reduced to using my wife’s Toshiba to cut-and-past, rename, and transfer documents. It works perfectly. Is there any way to do this on the MacBook Pro?
    Thanks!

    No, this is a philosophical difference between Apple and Microsoft. Apple believes that it's dangerous to cut a file in case the user never pastes it; in that case the file is lost. Microsoft seems to not have this problem (if I remember Windows correctly) because they don't delete the originating file if it's cut but never pasted.
    Even though Macs have a lot of keyboard shortcuts, philosophically Macs have traditionally been mouse-first. This applies to file copy operations. In your case, what a Mac user would do is open the source window, open the destination window (on your second drive), and then Command-drag the selected files from the source to destination window. This is because a normal drag would leave the originals behind, while adding the Command modifier key tells OS X that this is a Move, not a Copy, so don't leave the originals behind.
    (In addition there are different rules for drag-copying within the same volume or between different volumes. If you drag between two folders on the same volume, the files are moved. If you drag between different volumes, the files are copied unless you hold down Command to delete the copies on the source volume.)

    Two problems in this case. First, batch file renaming is not built into OS X unless you build something with Automator. However, there are many utilities that can do batch file renaming which you can find at macupdate.com or on the App Store. Since I work with media I often batch rename using one of the media managers I have lying around like Media Pro or Adobe Bridge (comes with Photoshop).
    iPhoto is a database front end designed to shield the file system from the consumer and let them concentrate on creativity and sharing. As such it is often a poor choice for managing files directly. When you "transferred the photographs" chances are you moved the originals, not the ones iPhoto edited which are stored in a hidden folder.

    There will not be a way to do it exactly like Windows. As described above, there are ways to do it "the Mac way." If it is possible to remove judgment on which way is "better" you might find the Mac way to be acceptable, but of course sometimes we simply prefer what we're used to.

  • Click and Drag not working with the trackpad....

    Well, this is an unexpected problem.
    Just this morning, it seems my computer is refusing to let me click and drag with the trackpad button. I can click and hold, but when I move my cursor, say in a menu, nothing is highlighted. For sliders for volume, clicking and dragging does nothing. I can't highlight text. It's getting very annoying. It won't work when I tell just the trackpad to click and drag as well (not using the button).
    My hands have been a little "waxy" since I've been sick, but the mouse works perfectly otherwise, so I don't think that's the problem at all. Any suggestions? Please tell me my 'book isn't goin' bad. >>;;

    That seemed to work! After shutting down and taking out the battery, I cleaned my keyboard and computer, too. Seems to work now Thanks!
    Wonder why it did it...a glitch, prolly...

  • Click and drag: object jumps to another location (not lag)

    Hi,
    I'm having a really annoying problem with Photoshop CS4, This is hapening since I updated to CS4 about a couple of months ago.
    I've already updated my drivers and did a reset of the photoshop preferences. So if you could take a look at my problem I would really be thankfull!
    Sometimes when I...:
    When I use the Hand tool to browse trough the artboard it suddenly jumps to a random place on my artboard.
    When I try to drag any item to another position it jumps somewhere not supposed to.
    When selecting something with the rectangular marquee tool, drawing a shape, placing a gradient, transform tool.....
    This is hapening with every tool I need to click and drag. (And yes I!m using a decent mouse it works perfectly with other Adobe software)
    I don't think it's lag caused by my hardware beacause everything is running verry smooth except the above-mentioned problems. And these problems al happen in an instance.

  • Mouse click and drag through turntable animation

    Hi all,
    First - thanks for taking the time to look through and possibly helping me with this question.
    I'm just getting to grips with flash cc actionscript 3.0 - so I apologise in advance to my not so technical jargon.
    In the past I have used actionscript 1.0 to create an interactive html file that contains a turntable animation of a 3D model. Users can mouse click and drag to the left or right to 'spin' the model around - however what they are really doing is scrubing through the timeline which contained 360 images of it from 360 degrees. Similar ideas can be found here: Interactive Thyroidectomy
    Now annoying I can't use the old code any more as I'm working in the latest flash cc actionscript 3.0
    So how do I do the same thing but in actionscript 3.0?
    So I've worked this bit out so far
    On my main stage I have two layers - actions layer and another layer with my movie clip (movieclip_mc)
    In the actions layer so far:
    movieclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
    movieclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);
    function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
      movieclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
      //I should put something in here about mouseX  - but no idea what
    function onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void
      movieclip_mc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
    function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent):void
    //I have to put something in about total frames - width of movieclip_mc etc but I'm not sure how   
    // this is what someone else did on another forum - but I'm not sure what it means:
         var delta:int = backgroundClip.mouseX - clickedMouseX;
       var wantedFrame:uint = (clickedFrame + delta * clip.totalFrames / backgroundClip.width) % clip.totalFrames;
       while (wantedFrame < 1)
      wantedFrame += clip.totalFrames;
      clip.gotoAndStop(wantedFrame);
    Also I think i need something in the beginning like.....:
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    var clickedMouseX:int;
    var clickedFrame:uint;
    var backgroundClip:Sprite = getChildByName("background") as Sprite;
    var clip:MovieClip = getChildByName("animation") as MovieClip;
    clip.stop();
    clip.mouseEnabled = false;
    .....but I'm a bit confused about what all of it means
    So I understand the principle but no idea how to actually make it work - Could anyone help explain it to me or help with the code?
    Thanks so much to anyone who can offer some help
    Catherine

    Hi Ned,
    sorry to bother you again on this subject -
    the script...
    function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent): void {
      movieclip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(mouseX/movieclip.width*(movieclip.totalFrames-1))+1 )
    worked fine - but when you click and drag on the movie clip it didn't always get to the end of the movie and never carried on through the frames back to the beginning like i wanted it to (such as this one does Interactive Thyroidectomy)
    So I went back to the older 2.0 script and played with it a bit to be :
    function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent): void {
      changeDistance = movieclip.mouseX - startX;
      travelDistance = startFrame + changeDistance;
      if (travelDistance > movieclip.totalFrames) {
      movieclip.gotoAndStop (travelDistance % movieclip.totalFrames);
      } else if (travelDistance < 0) {
      movieclip.gotoAndStop (movieclip.totalFrames + (travelDistance % movieclip.totalFrames));
      } else {
      movieclip.gotoAndStop (travelDistance);
    .... which almost works but it is very stuttery to mouse over and then it has this output error..

    I've obviously put some code in the wrong place - could you help me find out what it might be?
    I haven't labelled any frames odd numbers such as 15.4499999999999989 or labeled scenes than number either.
    I can send you my scene if that would help?
    Thanks very much for your time Ned
    (p.s Or maybe if it is easier you might offer some guidance as to how i can change the action script
    function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent): void {
      movieclip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(mouseX/movieclip.width*(movieclip.totalFrames-1))+1 )
    to allow it to be more like Interactive Thyroidectomy

  • The Move Tool not working in InDesign CC 2014, no click-and-drag. What Can I do to fix it?

    It just started not working this week. I am unable to click-and drag anything in my document with the Move Tool.

I have tried deleting the preferences and reinstalling the program but with no luck.

  • Cannot click and drag with bluetooth mouse?

    I have installed bluetooth mouse and works fine but cannot click and drag using the mouse in any applications. will highlight stuff and cursor moves fine but then cannot drag using the mouse. Any ideas?

    I was trying with this code which I got from this website as I am beginner of AS3.
    var images:MovieClip = images_mc;
    var offsetFrame:int = images.currentFrame;
    var offsetX:Number = 0;
    var offsetY:Number = 0;
    var percent:Number = 0;
    images.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,startDragging);
    images.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopDragging);
    function startDragging(e:MouseEvent):void
    images.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,drag);
    offsetX = e.stageX;
    offsetY = e.stageY;
    function stopDragging(e:MouseEvent):void
    images.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,drag);
    offsetFrame = images.currentFrame;
    function drag(e:MouseEvent):void
    percent =  (e.stageX - offsetX)/images.width;
    percent =  (e.stageY - offsetY)/images.height;
    var frame:int = Math.round(percent*images.totalFrames) + offsetFrame +1;
    while (frame>images.totalFrames)
      frame -=  images.totalFrames;
    while (frame<=0)
      frame +=  images.totalFrames;
    images.gotoAndStop(frame);
    This has to rotate in top also i.e., I also have images sequence placed with top view also.
    If I use keyboard, it has to work with arrow keys also and also with mouse interactivity.

  • What will make it so you can't move objects by click and drag even though they are not locked?

    I have been using the cc 2014 version for awhile now and this morning  when I select an object with the selection tool, I can't freely move it by click and drag. The object will move with the arrow keys and can be aligned with the alignment tools.

    Does it have a fill of None? Maybe you're trying to select the object on its "fill" but if there's no fill, it does not get selected.
