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.

  • Unable to drag and drop files or folders

    Hi
    I'm unable to drag and drop files or folders. I can't drag from a folder to desktop, I can't drag from finder. I can't move files around. I can't drag from itunes into ipod.
    I've run Onyx and disk permission repair, cleaned all caches etc, all to no avail.
    Get info tells me I have read and write permissions.
    Can someone please help me.
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem, the terminal command to make that testfile worked, guess its a good sign but i wouldn't know, I also have a couple of extra problems:
    It started with VisualHub saying "Critical componats of Mac OS X are missing or damaged on your system, Without them, VisualHub is unable to continue. The affected componats is/are: - /tmp Temporary Directory. Try Repairing Permissions using Disk Utility"
    So i did that using OnyX, rebooted, still didn't work, so i remember hearing about how reinstalling .3 of 10.5.3 can help replace files that are lost, so i did that and thats where it went wrong, it rebooted and it seemed to go good, but then i noticed a big ? where Camino is meant to be on my Dock and i looked in my stack and it was gone, Safari would crash on the 5th letter i typed anywhere on the browser, (Safari and Webkit Nightly) At least Firefox works so i can post this, Spotlight is gone from the menu bar, i can't drag anything from the dock and i can't drag safari from the App stack or the dock crashes.
    The thing that worries me is why was Camino deleted? and Safari crashing?
    If anyone has a solution to this you would be a HUGE help, i really don't want to reformat my mac because i don't have anywhere to backup my files, i don't have the money for a decent sized HDD to backup into.
    Thanks all who help!!!

  • Drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes?

    is it possible to drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes?  It is very clunkey to have to click each separate file to instruct it to move to the folder.  Better still, can I just sync an existing folder on my hard drive so the pdf's inside always remain up to date on my iPad?

    There is no way to drag and drop in Reader on an iPad.
    There is no way to sync PDFs in a folder on your hard drive to those inside of Reader.
    There are readers (which are NOT free) which let you do some of these things and have more capabilities. You might check out PDF Expert from Readdle which costs $9.99 US.

  • Unable to drag and drop files into other locations

    As I clicked on a music file to drag into my iTunes, it would not allow me to perform that action.
    (I was able to click, drag, and drop a music file into iTunes a few seconds previously)
    This happened all of a sudden. The same thing happens as I try to drag a file to the trash, etc.
    What settings should I go into to see if everything is set correctly so I can re-perform the drag and drop action?
    I've already went into my Preferences..general settings...and clicked spring-loaded files and windows.
    Nothing changed once I un-clicked the box and re-clicked it.
    MacBook Pro 15'
    Retina Display
    Less than half memory capacity used
    Thank you!

    Try restarting and see if this fixes the problem.
    If no....
    Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
    Run Repair Drive and Repair Permissions using Disk Utility in Recovery.
    Restart

  • Having downloaded Mavericks now unable to drag and drop contacts into the to column of mail

    After downloading Mavericks I can not drag contacts from my addreass book to the message. I also find that iphoto has been locked out and not able to seek pemissions to enter my photos. Can any one help

    Finally figured it out. Podcasts in your Podcast folder aren't actually there (they're just "available") until you download them by clicking on the down arrow to the right of the name. Once you click on the down arrow the podcast will download to your computer and a blue dot will appear to the left of the name. You should now be able to move the podcast to your other i-devices.

  • Can't drag and drop actions into a set

    I'm using CS4 and haven't had this problem before. After loading various actions, I am unable to drag and drop them into one of my sets. The actions either drop above or below the set.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Carole

    I can't think of any reason for this behaviour.
    Maybe it's time to try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults. (A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.)

  • Unable to Drag and Drop Yahoo emails to folders (Used to work. Still works fine on IE)

    Unable to Drag and Drop Yahoo emails to Yahoo Email folders using Firefox. I am sure this worked until recently.
    I am still able to Drag and Drop in the same yahoo sign on using Internet Explorer.

    I've found it works for some. I think it will only work if it can figure out which one to put it in. If it ins't capable or figuring that out, it won't work. I imagine if you drag several, and if even one can't be sorted, it will reject them all.

  • Why can I not drag-and-drop email addresses into Address Book?

    I've used today the email client and the email address autocompletion feature figured out nicely the email addresses of the recipients I wanted to send the email to. So far so good. However, when I've selected all addresses in the To line, I would have liked to be able to drag-and-drop them into the Address Book application, automatically have new entries created there and why not a new group too?

    No, that is not possible. However, [Mail Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has a script to add every address to the address book, allowing you to pick which ones go to which group and to add a new group, if you want.

  • Unable to drag and drop into trash when Numbers 09 is in use

    I wonder whether anyone can help me with this. When I have a spreadsheet open in Numbers 09, I can't drag and drop anything into trash. However if I minimise the spreadsheet, the drag and drop works!! Can anyone enlighten me as to why this is? I am very new to the Mac and am still learning+
    Thanks

    Report sent !
    *+Your tracking number for this issue is Bug ID# 6611461.+*
    +May you check the behavior of Numbers '09 under mac Os X 10.5.6 ?+
    +When used under macOsX 10.5.6, if we drag a file's icon above a Numbers window to drop it on the trash icon, the file is not trashed.+
    +I was able to reproduce this odd behavior several times.+
    +I must add that we may drag and drop to the trash without any problem when running under 10.4.11.+
    +Numbers is the unique iWork's component with this odd behavior.+
    +I don't know which is the culprit, Numbers or Finder but both of them are made in AppleLand.+

    Now, wait and see.

  • 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.

  • Unable to drag and drop itunes tracks intp idvd project

    hello
    After selecting media I am unable to drag and drop most of my itunes tracks into my dvd projects ,this is true for both imported cd's and purchased music
    Only a few tracks will show with the + sign
    any thoughts
    Thanks
    Paul T

    Give this basic remedy a try. Quit iDVD and delete your iDVD preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.idvd.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iDVD; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
    If that doesn't work, do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility.
    I hope this helps.

  • Unable to drag and drop images with manual sort in CS2 bridge

    I've had CS2 for several years now but for some reason, just never really needed to do a manual sort. Now that I DO need to, it doesn't seem to be working. I have the view set for manual and no matter what kind of working space I use, the program does not allow me to drag and drop the thumbnails into different positions. All I get is that circle with a diagonal line through it, showing me that what I'm trying isn't going to work.
    Any ideas?
    Windows XP
    2G of ram
    Bridge version 1.0.4.6 (104504)
    CS2

    DUUUUUUUDE! IT'S WORKING NOW!!!!
    When you originally asked, "What happens if you click on an image and move it to another folder?", I didn't really understand what you were talking about because I almost never have my workspace set up in a way that the folders are showing. I always hide them. So I didn't really understand what you were saying. Just a few minutes ago, I realized that that is what you were asking so I opened up the folder area and tried dragging thumbs into different folders and saw that it does work.
    So then, because of you mentioning that blue line and me know that I did see the blue line on occasion. I went back over into the thumbnails to find out if I always got the blue line or if it was a hit or miss thing. I couldn't believe my eyes when all of the sudden I saw that I no longer was getting that circle with the line through it, and low and behold, the thumbnail dropped right into position like it is supposed to!!!!
    The thing is, I don't know what I've learned from this. I thought, "well, what is different?" The only thing that I can think of is that I now have the folders showing in my workspace so I wondered if that was the secret but I just now hid the folders again like I usually do and the drag and drop into position is STILL WORKING!!!
    All I can figure is that somehow, dragging and dropping a thumbnail into a folder like that for the first time, triggered something so that I can now drag and drop among the thumbnail positions? Not sure. All I know is that for some reason, IT'S WORKING NOW!
    Now, for the second important part, I wonder if I drag and drop everything into the order that I want and then select all of the files and drag them into a new folder, will they stay in that order? I need to go experiment with that.
    If you hadn't kept at it and in turn had me keep trying stuff, it would have never happened because I had pretty much given up.
    Thanks Curt!
    You da man!!!

  • UNABLE TO DRAG AND DROP MESSAGES TO MAIL FOLDER

    UNABLE TO DRAG AND DROP MESSAGES TO MY MAIL FOLDER

    Hi,
    Typing in all capitals is regarded as shouting.
    As far as I can tell your post is filtered to the Messages app and not the Mail tagging.
    You would have to supply a lot more detail as to what you are calling "your Mail Folder"
    To help this is part of my Side bar list
    My "On My Mac" folder probably has 20 folders plus some of those have sub folders.
    Out of sight are two sets of IMAP Folders (held on the Servers)
    As it is the Mail App I also may not know the answer. (I was filtering for Messages (App))
