No longer able to drag attachments to/from message to desktop

Early 2011 iMac- right before the quad-cores w i3 processor. Running Lion, fully updated
I was always able to drag my attachments from my email(Apple Mail) to my desktop.
About 2 hours ago it stopped letting me drag them and combine pdfs in Preview. (Scenerio: Receive an invoice, drag it to my desktop. scan a pack slip, marry the two pdfs and save on a server)
Ran disk utility. Rebooted, etc. 
I did some digging and saw a few posts but not much here. Any thoughts?

Yes, I shut it down when I left yesterday. Working this AM. I usually only shut down on the weekends-
But, I did reboot yesterday? oh well,Thanks!

  • No longer able to drag and drop

    after purchasing songs from itunes I am no longer able to drag and drop from itunes to ipod

    Do you have disk mode and manually manage music and videos enabled for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes?

  • No longer able to drag and drop files to an iPhone in iTunes.

    I accidentally unplugged my iPhone 3G before it was finished syncing in iTunes and I lost all of music, playlist, podcasts, etc. I had copied to it. The problem I am now having is that I can no longer drag and drop anything to my iPhone in the Devices list. The only way that I can now get files onto it is by syncing with my existing play lists, etc from iTunes. I can't even select it in the Devices list and create a new playlist on it by clicking the new playlist button at the bottom. I really liked the option to just drag whatever I wanted onto it. It's really a pain now. It does sync properly, so thankfully that works.
    Does anyone know why I know why I'm no longer able to drag and drop music, etc. to an iPhone in iTunes.
    Thanks

    Man, I can't believe it...that was the fix. I had it checked previously, obviously because that's how I was doing it before. Don't know how it got unchecked, but that IS the solution. I thought something bad had happened and wasn't thinking clearly – feel like an idiot now.
    THANKS for you help.

  • Why am I no longer able to transfer individual songs from itunes to my iPhone?

    Why am I no longer able to transfer individual songs from itunes to my iPhone? I don't want to sync everything as I have over 2000 songs on my macbook. Please help!

    Hi ckuan,
    Thanks for the tip. I have tried this however, when I select the Sync music box, it wants to remove all of the music that is currently on my iphone. I do not want to do this. What happened to the old "select and drag" option? That was so much easier! I would like to add new music without removing the music that is currently on the iphone.

  • I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

  • Why am I  no longer able to send or receive text messages from my Droid RAZR MAXX HD?

    Why am I no longer able to send or receive text messages from my Droid RAZR MAXX HD? 

        @slotjan49
    I want to ensure you're able to stay connected using your Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD!  When did this problem begin?  In what zip code are you experiencing this?  Do you get an error message when attempting to send a text?  Are you using a downloaded text messaging application or are you using the preinstalled text messaging application?
    Please try removing and reinserting the SIM Card http://vz.to/1jxFQVZ and retesting.  Please let me know so that I can further assist.  Thanks!

  • No longer able to drag icons to other pages?

    Before syncing my iPhone to desktop computer, I USED to be able to select and drag app icons from one page to another. Although iTunes says that I should be able to do this, nothing happens when I click-and-hold an App icon, other than the entire PAGE will move, as if I'm trying to rearrange the pages.
    I notice that I CAN, using the iPhone iteself, click-and-drag app icons, but so far haven't been successful in dragging one from, say, Page One to Page Three.
    This doesn't feel like an improvement. In fact, it's a real drag (no pun intended).
    What's up?

    Do you have disk mode and manually manage music and videos enabled for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes?

  • Nokia PC Suite 6.83 - No longer able to drag and d...

    Hi folks,
    Having upgraded to Vista, I have lost the ability to drag and drop text messages from the PC Suite Messages Folder to my PC which was my preferred manner of backing up the text messages, when I was using Windows XP as my platform. Is this facility available to Vista users, or will it be introduced with a later update of the Nokia PC Suite software.
    Please advise.
    Regards,
    T Johnson.

    I only discovered this with V6.84 - and because PC Suite has been such a b'stard in the past I assumed it was just a messed up installation (and not worth the effort of any attempt to uninstall/reinstall etc. etc. etc.) - but your experience confirms mine (Vista Home Premium); it probably installed OK and just doesn't work properly.
    What REALLY hacks me off is that the PC Suite UI uses Windows Explorer Windows (or good simulacra - who can tell?), and to blithely ignore a standard aspect of UI operations is absolutely guaranteed to confuse and aggravate users - and absolutely criminal. How long did I spend trying to work out what was wrong - and to find a work-around? Too long.
    I'm sure it worked before on Vista before (could be wrong though) - though I was *amazed* that whatever version I installed it did install correctly and connected to my 6230i...
    If it is eventually fixed I will then have a dilemma: do I install the update to avoid the copy workaround aggravation or risk the whole installation collapsing into another Nokia information black-hole?

  • I am no longer able to print a document from within a specific website

    I am no longer able to print my transactions statements from my financial institution. Once on their website, I would click on the statement and it would open up the document as a PDF file. I can't do that any longer

    What do you have set for handling PDF files in Firefox? <br />

  • No longer able to drag Outlook emails to Outlook calendar events

    I use Outlook 2007 on my PC, and sync it to my iPhone and iPad using iCloud.  I used to be able to drag an email to the notes section of an Outlook calendar event, but it looks like this ability/feature is now gone.  Can I get this feature back? I even tried opening an old Outlook calendar event to which I knew I had dragged-and-dropped an email.  when I opened the event, it momentarily flashed up with the attached email in the event notes section, but then the email disappeared.  Frustrating!  I drag emails to this section so that I have the details of my event linked to the event, and not cluttering up my inbox.

    Have you tried clicking "Reset Sync History..." in iSync preferences?
    Also, make sure you have at least one 'local' calendar set up in iCal - rather than just 'subscribed' ones.

  • No longer able to copy and paste from safari.

    When trying to copy and paste from safari to Pages or Mail it continues to paste the original coppiced information.  In my online school environment (java) I am not able to copy and paste from safari to other programs.  I was able to do this without problem before upgradeing to ios5.

    jmgoldjr,
    Same issue here and I have spoke with Apple support and actually had them log on to my University website and demo'ed the issue for themselves.  This was only yesterday and the response was it would take 5-6 days for upper level support to get back to me for further analysis.
    What exactly is happening is when I copy text from my school website, the text is never copied to the clipboard so subsequently when I past it somewhere else it just pastes whatever exists in the clipboard from the previous use. 
    Did you ever resolve your issue or find a work-around?  If not I will gladly update this post when I hear more.  My wife's iPad on 4.3.3 is functions perfectly in the same regard.  Apple agree's it is a software issue but like simply require more time to diagnose.
    Your University wouldn't happen to be Phoenix would it?
    Thanks.

  • I can no longer click and drag Safari window to the other desktop.

    I've tried merging all windows and minimizing that single window, then going to the other desktop to open up the window.  That doesn't work--it just opens on the original desktop. 
    When double-clicking on the Safari icon in the dock, the options for desktop appear (none, this desktop, and all desktops).  By clicking on all desktops I am able to go to the other desktop and see my Safari window there, then I can change the option to none again. 
    This is not how it worked before.  I'm supposed to be able to click and drag the window to the other desktop. 
    Any ideas? 
    Update: 
    I pulled one Safari tab out to create a separate window, opened Mission Control, then clicked on the Safari window and dragged it to the small image of the other desktop. 
    The window stayed in the other desktop and now the function of dragging Safari windows to other desktops has returned.

    Thanks! I was having the same problem. This resolved it for me.

  • Drag and drop from applications onto desktop iOS Mavericks

    I upgraded to iOS mavericks thia morning and hve noticed that i can't drag and drop files from applications to the desktop anymore, a feature that made past iOS systems so great. Examples of this is trying to drag an image from a site (in a browser) to the desktop and dragging attachements out of email to the desktop. Is anyone else having this issue with iOS mavericks?

    Did anybody get an answer on this?
    I am having difficulties with moving files from the email to the finder..drag and drop does not work.
    Thank you

  • No longer able to drag & drop to desktop..

    I was hoping someone here could help me.
    My son thought he (we) would like to try a new finder type app.
    I told him (after 2 days) that he could do this on "his computer" not mine.
    Once he removed the application and put everything back in order.........
    I no longer can drag & drop images to the desktop?!?
    He has no clue and I am praying that someone with smarter skills than me can help me out.
    Thanks in advance

    Move the com.apple.finder.plist file out of your users /Library/Preferences/ folder to the Desktop, OPTION-click & hold the Finder's Dock icon, select Relaunch, and see if that fixes the problem. If so, delete the moved file and reset your other Finder preferences. If you don't remember how you had things, check the Finder's preferences via Finder->Preferences. If this doesn't fix the issue, create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists there.
    Once you resolve the issue, ban your son from your computer.
