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))

Drag and drop messages in Mail not working.

I no longer seem to be able to drag messages from my Inbox mailbox to another 'On My Mac' mailbox. I can still use the contextual menu or menu bar 'move to' command to move it to a specific box, but no mouse-dragging. Even "click-wait-drag" doesn't work...
I see this issue appeared with and has been about since, 10.6.1 but the two topics (I could find), discussing it have been Archived

Try doing a save as to the desktop and then try dragging thr .rtf file to the usb drive

Drag and drop in Apple Mail

I just upgraded to OS X 10.9.1. When I started the Mail program, I was told that the mail database was being upgraded. Now I can no longer drag and drop e-mail messages between Mail folders like I could before. Is anyone else experiencing this same issue? I can use the Move to command. I really like dragging and dropping messages. I don't want to have to use the 'Move to' option if I don't have to. Does anyone know how to get back drag and drop?

SOLVED. I needed to reindex the entire mailbox database. The initial reindex when I first started Mail after the update to 10.9.1 did not work completely, and neither did reindexing individual mailboxes. Drag and drop has been restored.

Unable to drag and drop

Hi,
I am unable to drag and drop the files (even .psd) into CS6 beta from my folder. Any solution for that? Please let me know. My OS is windows 7 U 64 bit.
Thanks,
Ramnath.

This helped me ...
Go to Start > Run > then type: regedit (then press enter).
The windows registry editor will now open.
You now need to follow this route through the registry editor:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Policies > System
Then Find this Key EnableLUA, Double Click on it and change the Value data from 1 to 0.
After pressing OK you’ll notice in the task bar a message pops up saying UAC is now disabled and a restart is required.
After the restart everything will run as it did on Windows 7, Ensure you’ve untagged “Run as Administrator” on your app shortcuts.

Make sure your windows userid has full control and ownership over the entire music folder. Check the box to apply this to subcontainers (aka subfolders)

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!!!

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 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.

Unable to drag and drop album art

Hi Guys,
I'm unable to drag and drop album artwork since upgrading to windows 7, when hovering over the "drag album art here" box it just displays a no entry cursor.
I've tried dragging and dropping to the desktop first but this doesn't work either.
UAC is currently disabled, my windows user is a computer administrator and has full control privileges on the Music folder.
It's not on all my albums, just certain ones.
I'm using iTunes 9.0.2.25

I am unable to drag and drop music onto my nano 6th gen!

I am unable to drag and drop music onto my nano 6th gen that I downloaded into iTunes from 2 CDs that I purchased. Older songs will still copy! Oddly, I CAN drag and drop them onto my old video iPod!

Yes! It is set up for manual management because I have way more music than will fit on my nano so I am only putting my favorites on it! It's just odd that the music on the 2 new CDs I downloaded into iTunes will not copy over! When I drag my songs to the playlist I made on my nano it acts like it is copying because I get the number of songs icon and the + sign indicating that it is copying but then the playlist is empty. The nano will say for a couple seconds that it is synchronizing but in the end nothing has transferred! If I take an older song and drag it into the playlist it does copy! Seem like it has to do with the new CDs being compatible with nano? I would really appreciate any advice! Thanks!

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5 Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library... or File/Add Folder to Library...
Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
Do either of the following:
1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
Steps
1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
To resolve it from within Itunes I did : Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
Click OK.
Closed iTunes/
Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
Works fine now.

With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library. What should I be doing differently?

With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder from my Desktop to ITunes on the PC in order to transfer it to my IPad (as per instructions), but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library. What else should I be doing?

Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

Can't drag and drop attachments into mail fullscreen

Have a weird issue. In lion I could drag and drog into a new mail message by dragging the attachment to the hot corner then to the fullscreen mail app then onto the new mail message.
Now for some reason in Mt. Lion it will no longer do this.
I can do it when mail is not in full screen mode or if I create a new mail message in another desktop.
Any suggestions?
And no I do not have air display on this computer (did do a search before posting)
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 notes from mail onto an ical date

I've had some trouble dragging and dropping notes onto an ical date. It shows up as some lengthy message, probably its address on the hard drive, and when I open it, I can't make changes to it. Where can I make a suggestion to apple on how to improve the synchonicity of these 2 apps? Ideally, I'd like to just drag and drop a note, such as a to do list, onto an ical date, and be able to make changes to it there. Or, am I mistaken? Are the notes and to dos actually saved on a mac server, not on my computer somewhere?
Thanks!
Rod

The "lengthy message" is simply the message ID in Mail. If you drag the message to iCal, it will simply set up a link back to that message.
If you drag text from Mail, you will get a new event with all that text as the event title.
I suspect what you want can be achieved by creating an event, naming it and setting its time etc then opening the edit popup and dragging your text or email message onto the notes field at the foot of that popup.

Can't drag and drop folders in Mail

I have a lot of folders in Mail, and I can only drag and drop a folder among the set of folders that is visible at a given time. If I need to drag the folder up or down, to an area that must be scrolled to, it does not work. This started when I upgraded to Yosemite.

It means don't open the Contacts app, open in in Mail: ⌥⌘A
I found another solution: type the name of the address group I need in the to: field.
Thank you anyway.
That's just the Previous Recipients.
