Why can't I open subfolders when dragging and holding files?

When I drag-and-hold a file to a folder with the purpose of placing it into one of its subfolders, I can't go past the first folder: in other words, unlike Mavericks, where I could drag the file and open one folder after the other until I could just release my file into the final destination, since I installed Yosemite I can't do it any longer and when I place the dragged file over a subfolder all I see is a "+" sign, but the folder won't open.
Is there a way to restore that functionality?
Thank you!

See if it works in both another user account and while booted into Safe Mode.

If it works in another account, it is something interfering with it in your user account.
If it works in Safe Mode, then it is something that runs at startup.

  • Why can't i open my Panasonic Lumix FZ45 RAW files in CS3?

    why can't i open my RAW files?
    I have photoshop CS3 with camera raw plug-in 4.6.0.30 on MacBook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) and a Panasonic Lumix FZ45
    I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
    I have no available updates in photoshop so assume that I am up to date with those.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    thanks

    I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
    Yes, the Panasonic FZ45 is listed but it was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 6.2.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Then go to this table to see which versions of Photoshop are compatible with ACR 6.2: CS5 and later. Not CS3.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    So your options are to upgrade to CS6 or subscribe to CC (check out the Photoshop Photography Program: PS CC + Lightroom 5).
    Or download the free DNG converter, convert all your FZ75 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS3

  • Why can't I open a playlist folder and drag and drop playlists in it?

    I have hundreds of playlists that I am trying to organize via playlist folders. Right now I have to select a single playlist and drag it all the way to the top to the selected playlist folder. That is very tedious and time consuming! I have tried to open the playlist folder and just drag and drop the playlist but no go on that. Is there a way to move multiple playlists at the same time to the same playlist folder?

    Sorry, I misunderstood your question.
    I found no way to drag multiple playlists unless I collect them into a folder first and then drag that folder all the distance.
    But you could try to shorten the way you have to drag the playlist, by collapsing all folders but the one you are working on.
    I keep one big folder, that usually hold all my playlist and playlist folders.
    When I want to rearrange certain folders I move them from this container and close the folder containing all the rest. Then I can move the from one folder to the other without too much scrolling.

  • WHY can't this be a simple drag and drop????

    Why why why Apple?? My old computer died, so I put all my iTunes music on my external hard drive. Now I have copied all 5000 songs into my new laptop's Itunes Music folder. Easy enough, right? WHY WON"T ITUNES FIND THESE SONGS?? They are all there. Itunes is looking to that library for music but it won't see them. I have authorized this computer.
    WHY? WHY ISN"T THIS SIMPLE??
    I hate to say HELP because I think I did everything right. Aargh. Help.

    When you moved stuff to the external drive and back to the laptop, did you move the entire iTunes folder, which would have included the iTunes Library file as well as the folder full of music? If you only moved the music and the iTunes Library file as been lost, you will need to reimport the music. You will have lost playcounts, playlists, last played, ratings. If on the other hand, you did move the whole folder, you should be able to get iTunes to be able to see it again by holding down the Shift key while launching iTunes. It will ask you to select a library. Direct it to the one on your laptop.
    It is as simple as drag and drop as long as you drag and drop the right things.
    Best of luck.

  • I use gmail on my ipad. Why can't I open any attachments? Not word files, not photos, nothing. Thanks

    I use g-mail on my ipad. I have no trouble receiving mail, but I cannot open any attachments of any kind. Why?

    For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
    From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I open just one of my numbers files?

    Hello,
    I am unable to open a rather important numbers file on my macbook pro. I can open all other numbers files but when I double click this one, it sort of "shines" as if its going to open then nothing happens. The data in it is really important and I can't get to it. I also have set up my time machine (as I don't know how) and wondered if anyone has any suggestions?
    Many Thanks

    If you meant that you have not set up your time machine, the following may help with that: Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
    Regarding the Numbers file -- this is a long shot, but rather than double-clicking on it you might try first starting Numbers and then use its File menu Open command and see if that will open the file.

  • Can anyone help me...Why Can't I open a compound clips containing missing files?

    I Have been using FCPX for only a short time and I have a few unfinished projects on the go. But after tidying up an reorganising my hard drives putting FCPx Projects and Events on an external drive. I find some of my projects with compound clips show this horrid warning icon for "missing files". I am want to relink  the missing clips but FCPX will not allow me to open the compound clips so I could see what are the missing ones... so, can anyone help find a way to re-link or recover those missing files.

    File browser? You mean the compound clip is in the project but not in the event? What version of the software are you using?
    Select the compound clip and use Clip>Reference New Parent Clip. Does that work? Try relinking the project files.

  • When dragging and dropping files in Lion Apple Magic Mouse will not "let go" of file even after button is released

    When selecting file or drive icon or text, the mouse will not release the item.  Pressing esc will release item but only back to original location.

    I presume drag lock isn't checked in System Preferences, but it sounds like maybe it's been set elsewhere, like by a corrupt prefs file? Can some OS X guru provide a Terminal command to disable drag lock just to be sure?
    I have a problem, also on a new MBP 2010 i7 /10.6.4, that isn't the same but might be related. The time required for the system to "release" an item selected by the pointer is exceptionally long. And if I try to click elsewhere before the pointer has been released, it only serves to extend the time. It's annoying and reduces productivity.
    Speed settings in Sys Prefs has no effect, and no other hardware is attached, using just the trackpad.
    I hope there's a setting that can be changed via Terminal; can anyone suggest the right terminology for the parameter(s) that need to change?

  • I have iWork's 9 that inludes pages 4.3.  I created a document that I saved.  When I tried to open the document today, I was advised I needed a newer version of pages to open the document.  Why can't I open an existing pages document?

    I have iWorks 9 that includes Pages 4.3.  I created a document and saved it as a "pages" file.  When I tried to open the document the next day, a dialogue box told me I needed a newer version to open the file.  The information provided stated the new app would cost $19.99 and the customer ratings are quite low.  Why can't I open a previously created document in iWorks, regardless of the version.  This is the first time Apple has demanded that I pay for a new version to open existing documents.

    I am with Peter on this issue. Additionally, if you installed the latest IOS Pages (v2.01) on an iPhone or iPad and opened a .pages file on iCloud that was created by Pages ’09 v4.n, or IOS Pages v1.7.n — that document is now in the new .pages file format and only Pages v5 on OS X can open it.
