Why can't I drag & drop photos to my email anymore?

The old IPhoto let me just drop and drag a photo onto the bottom part of my e-mail screen (gmail) and it would -boom- just upload as an attachment.  I didn't have to open up the attachments folder finder and waste time.  I updated my MacBook the other day and now with the new Photos, this function is no longer possible.  Why?  Do I have to change a setting or something?
Thanks

Simply use the Share feature of Photos
Use Mail to share photos
You can use Mail to email photos directly from Photos. When you use Mail to send photos in an email, Photos sends it from the first account listed in your Mail preferences. If you have other email accounts set up in Mail preferences, you can select which email account to send the email from when you send it.
Tip: If you have many files or large files to send, you can use Mail Drop to send them. You must have an iCloud account to use Mail Drop. You can use Mail Drop to send attachments up to 5 GB in size right from Mail on your Mac, or from icloud.com/mail on your Mac or PC. All file types are supported and attachments don’t count against your iCloud storage.
Select the photos you want to send.You can send photos from your photo library or an album, but not from a slideshow or a project (such as a book, card, or calendar).
Click the Share button in the toolbar and choose Mail.Mail opens a mail message with your photos attached.
Type the recipient’s email address in the To field, then type a subject line in the Subject field.
Type a message if you want, then click Send.

    Yes they can, you are correct. I should have maybe said that in my post. I was merely trying to say that I believe they want to keep the iPhone more organized. I got out of dragging and dropping to my iPod after I created my first playlist. Makes things a lot eaiser just to sync a list.

  • Why can't I Drag & Drop a link from my address bar to my Bookmarks Toolbar in 4.0? I have the toolbar activated, but I can't do this. I was able to do it no problem with 3.6.

    Drag & Drop for bookmarking a link from Address bar to Bookmarks Toolbar is not working in 4.0. Was working in 3.6, then I upgraded to 4.0 and everything got screwed up. How can I fix this?

    I ditched 4.0 and went back to 3.6.17 but I can't drag and drop with it either. The Favicom idea didn't work for me either. Once in a great while it will work, but usually that ends up screwing up my bookmarks and everything being re-arranged. How could something so simple and basic NOT WORK anymore?

  • 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.

  • Why can't I drag a photo from iPhoto to a folder?

    You guys - I used to be able to drag photos from iPhoto to pretty much wherever I wanted.  I'm currently trying to drag them to a folder, but it doesn't work.
    I tried to email them to myself, THEN drag them into said folder, still doesn't work.
    I had to open each of them in Preview, then save them as new files to the folder.
    WHAT!?  That's insane.  Am I missing something or have all of the updates changed things so drastically!?
    All of my business is up to date.  If this is what it's like updated, that is a bummer.

    This seems to be a desktop issue rather than an iPhoto one, as you can't drag from Mail either.
    So I'd start by repairing permissions.
    Can you export to the desktop?

  • Why can't I drag a photo to a desktop folder?

    I want to put photos in a folder on the desktop which I will then burn to a CD. When I open the photo, I get a square of dashes with an exclamation point in the center. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Thanks, Miriam

    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
    Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.

  • Why can't i send a photo to an email address with my imessage?

    One of my colleagues has imessage turne on and can send a picture to another iphone but cannot send it to an email address. is there something in the settings that prevents this? i just dont know what it cold be. Cellular is turned on and so is imessage.

    Hey Jazzadavies,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are having issues sending MMS messages (as opposed to iMessages to other iPhones). The following resource outlines troubleshooting steps for this issue (see “If you can't send and receive MMS” towards the end):

  • Why can't I scroll down in a specific email anymore now that I've upgraded to Mavericks?

    I upgraded to Mavericks over the weekend. I thought things were working fine (it took 5 installation failures before it finally installed properly), but now, I'm finding that I cannot scroll in an email within Mail. Instead, even though I have the email open and my cursor in the email rather than my inbox list, the inbox is scrolling down. Is there a setting I can change? Or is this one of the new Mavericks "benefits?"

    This a bug with Mavericks.  You can close out mail and restart and may work again for a while.  I have not tried the cache file deletion as noted in another discussion (see more like this in side bar).

  • Why can't I get sound notification for my email anymore?

    I am no longer able to get sound notification for send or receive email nor can I get sound notification for incoming phone calls.  What happened and is there a correction?

    Before doing anything else, is your ringer switch in silent mode?  I'd try toggling the switch a few times to make sure it's working.  The phone should vibrate when you move the switch from on to silent.  If it doesn't then the switch may be broken.
    Next make sure the volume for notifications is not off.  Check the Sound settings for this.  Changing the volume there should also cause your (phone) ringtone to play.  If it doesn't then there is something very wrong.
    The only other thing I can suggest if the above doesn't help is doing a hard reset of the phone.  Hold power and home buttons down until screen goes dark and Apple icon appears, then let go.
    If that doesn't work, then the only other thing you can try is doing a Backup and then a Restore in iTunes.  If that doesn't work, then there's a hardware problem.

  • 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.

  • Why am I having trouble importing vCards? I follow the Help Center instructions by dragging and dropping, but some don't sync into the cloud. And why can't I drag multiple vCards? I have over 4,000. Please tell me I don't have to do one at a time?
