Unable to drag & drop emails

I've suddenly been unable to drag and drop emails from one inbox to another. For example, from my junk mailbox to the trash. This was the way I was doing it yesterday but after a update, unable to do so today.

I have the same annoying issue. The open email is stuck in the middle of the page and I cant see 2 open emails at the same time. How many times did you need to restart to fix this please? Thanks

Unable to Drag & Drop email into Smart Mail Folders

With Tiger, one could create "Mail Folders" and Drag & Drop emails into them. How is this possible with Leopard? I create the Folders and Sub-sets of Folders but I cannot archive my emails by dragging and Dropping. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks
charlie

The title of your question mentions "Smart Mail" folders.
The text of the question mentions "Mail Folders".
Drag and drop only works with the regular "Mail Folders". If you try to drag a message into a Smart Mailbox it will refuse to go there because the message doesn't qualify.
"Smart Mail Folders" are supposed to be set up to automatically alias an email in your inbox that has specific qualities, like, The sender is a member of a group in your addressbook, the subject contains a certain word, or other trigger (That's what makes them smart).
Depending on what you are trying to do, you may do better with creating regular "Mail Folders" so that you can manually sort important emails as you wish without having to build the Smart rule.

How can cocoa app get attachment in Drag & Drop email(s) from Mail?

HI all,
I would like to drag and drop one or more emails from Apple's Mail application to a cocoa application and have the cocoa application find the path to the attachments in those emails. If I drag & drop a message from Mail to Text Edit, it creates a link with the message subject. If I hold the pointer over the link in Text Edit, it shows the contents of the link, which has the form:
message:%[email protected]%3E
If I click that link, it opens a new Mail window with the message. None of that is the message number as shown in Mail's viewer window.
I've also looked at what Pasteboard Peeker shows given a Drag & Drop from Mail. The above link data is from the public.url pasteboard type. Some of the others look interesting, but Pasteboard Peeker truncates the data read from the pasteboard, and the pasteboard types are probably nothing that we "supposed" to have access to since they have names like "Someone's super-secret pasteboard type". Any other ideas?

Thanks, a brody.
That tip takes me further down the field. And, I am able to do stuff like indent and change font color of my comments which is very helpful.
However, the big disappointment is that by dragging the original message to the Draft mailbox and then back to the original one after the edits is that it removes the original sender's name and puts mine in along with changing the heading info on date and time. That is, it creates a new message, rather than allowing me to modify the original one to suit my needs.
All the same, this was a very helpful tip. Thanks again.
Anyone know of a plugin?..............or two?....

Unable to Drag & Drop Files/Icons

Suddenly I am unable to drag and drop icons/files. I can right-click/control-click on icons and files, but I cannot drag them anywhere.
How did this happen? I wish I knew. All I can tell you is that I restarted my PowerBook, logged in, and -- bam. No more dragging and dropping.
I've restarted the PBook. I've restarted the Finder numerous times. I've repaired permissions. I've verified the HD. Nothing has worked so far.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

OOPS, silly me!
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!

Unable to drag/drop to my ipod

I recently loaded i-tunes software to my computer. (I was using the musicmatch jukebox previously to load music to my ipod.) I am unable to drag and drop music onto my ipod using i-tunes, though can drag and drop to playlists. Anyone else have this problem? What do I do? I just updated the latest ipod updates.
dell latitude x200 Windows XP

iTunes and Apple have a designed a special format for music and as far as I'm aware you cannot use the iPod to "sync" with other programs. This is their way of securing their future I guess. So, what you should do is use iTunes, click file, import, and then find where the files are saved (typically somewhere in My Documents) and then select the files and it will convert the files to the "iPod" format, show in your library, and sync with your iPod.

Unable to drag drop or copy/paste now under 10.5.1 !!

Since upgrading to 10.5.1 I can no longer copy/paste or drag/drop in the finder or other apps such as keynote!! First time around I re-installed leapord and all was fixed.. since software update has now re-upgraded the MacBook Pro to 10.5.1 again.. the issue has reappears.
Any advice or guidance on the cure appreciated..

This issue has plagued me for three days. I had an instance of Parallels Desktop running and it asked if I wanted to upgrade to a newer version. Selecting "Yes" initiated the process, but once the update package was downloaded, the VM application hung. A forced quit was required, which destabilized the System and required a reboot. Following the reboot, this exact problem arose.
Trashing the preferences indicated in this thread did not work.
Repairing permissions found an issue with the /tmp directory and suggested it was fixed.
Further research this morning revealed another thread covering another aspect of this topic. The suggestion to change the permissions for /tmp to "7771" solved the problem. Give that a try.
How the permissions on that directory were corrupted by an application crash is beyond me, but this seemed to solve my issues with copy/paste drag/drop; my inability to launch X11; and a video conversion problem I was experiencing. It makes sense though, as all of these anomalies were likely the result of an inability to create a temporary scratch file in that directory.

Help?

Can anyone shed somelight into this problem please.

Unable to drag & drop

Just got my MacBook Pro. Connected my ipod and added my purchased itunes music to the library on the new computer. So...when I go to the "Purchased" playlist, it does not allow me to add songs to a newly created playlist by drag and drop. I unchecked all items but still doesn't allow me to add these songs to another playlist. Thanks for any help you can offer.

First, make sure that the playlist is a regular playlist and not a smart playlist. If drag-n-drop still does not work, right click the track and use the Add To Playlist command.

Unable to Drag & Drop Album Artwork

anyone else having problems dragging artwork into iTunes 7? unfortunately, much of my music is unavailable in ITMS, therefore, the artwork for these albums does not get imported when i import the CD. this includes a few Beatles CDs and many indie bands. any fixes or word on what the problem may be?

I found a Widget (on the Apple site, ironically) that grabs album art for either the playing track, or the tracks selected in iTunes, and does a good job. It queries the Amazon database. If it can't find a match, it will launch a Google image search - and that works well, too. Just shift-click a batch of tracks, hit F12 for the widget, click the little "find art" button and it comes back with its guess very quickly.

Yosemite Mail.app attachments drag&drop

In Mail.app (v. 8.0) I'm unable to drag&drop attachment from incoming emails to new email (however ctrl+c/v still works).
Steps to reproduce:
Have an email(s) with attachments
Create a new email
Try to drag&drop some attachment from step 1.
Was this feature deleted, or it is a bug (it was working in previous OSX)?

I have the same annoying issue. The open email is stuck in the middle of the page and I cant see 2 open emails at the same time. How many times did you need to restart to fix this please? Thanks

HT1267 i've got about 2500 songs on my iphone, i have replaced my computer & lost my library-question is why can't i drag/drop new downloaded music to my iphone without 'syncing' & losing my 2500 songs from the iphone?

I've got about 2500 songs on my iphone, i have recently replaced my computer because the old one crashed, so i lost all the songs in the itunes library. My question is, it seems that now i am unable to drag/drop new downloaded songs without syncing my iphone & losing my 2500 songs from the phone?

You cannot. Iphone will sync/manually manage music with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing/manually managing with another will erase the current content from the iphone.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Dock Downloads Folder Drag & Drop Crashes Finder

When attempting to Drag & Drop files from the Downloads folder in the Dock to a different folder, whether that folder be on the Desktop, or open in a Finder window, Finder crashes and relaunches. Sometimes the file gets placed, sometimes it remains in the Dock. I have a similar problem with Mountain Lion on my 13" MBP, although Finder does not crash, it simply won't allow files to be dragged from the Dock to a folder icon on the Desktop.
This problem has been persistent through several updates, and has been present since upgrading to Lion, and is a problem on more than one computer. This does not happen with every file, but happens often enough to be frustrating. It also happens consistently when moving more than 2 files from the Downloads folder in the Dock to either the Desktop, or a folder. I am also unable to Drag & Drop a file from the Downloads (or Documents folder for that matter...) to any folder icon on the desktop.
I attempted this morning to file a bug report with Apple, but the Bug Reporting site had an error, and the Home Button on the Error page does nothing (hooray for web design!).

Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.
As for the BR issue, https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/wa/signIn loads w/o issues.

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 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 double-click or drag/drop files to open.

I'm running Photoshop CC 64 on a Windows 7 64 machine and am only able to open files in Photoshop by going to File->Open. Double-clicking from Explorer doesn't work and i can not drag/drop files into the open application window or taskbar icon. Right clicking on files and selecting "Open with" also doesn't work.
I checked file associations and made sure to choose CC 64. If I right click on the shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator" which I have to do in order to get files to open between Lightroom and Photoshop (both need to be Run As Administrator), I'm still unable to open from Windows Explorer. However, if I check the box to "Run this program as administrator" in the shortcut's Compatibility tab, I can double-click to open from Explorer but am prompted with a UAC warning every time. Dragging/dropping into the open app still doesn't work.
Opening between Bridge and PS works as expected so long as both programs are "Run As Administrator"
Been searching the forums here and seen suggestions of similar but not the same issue, at least not that I've found.
Anyone else experiencing? Suggested remedies?

This is an OS permission problem. Make sure you have ownership of the HD. Do a web search on how to check. External HD can be a problem for permission.
