I cannot seem to figure out how to drag and drop items on my MacBook Pro. It doesn't make sense! When I click on an item, it opens. I tried changing my track pad settings and that doesn't seem to help. It's driving me batty!
MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15
Hello Nmhawes09,
Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to drag and drop on your MacBook Pro as expected. First, make sure you are following the steps in this Apple resource on this:
Next, use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things:
Log in to your user account and test the issue while in safe mode and then restart normally and test the issue again.

With newer Macs I have the same problem. I just cannot get used to the new Haptic feedback trackpad behavior. It takes lots of practice to make drag & drop work with this setting enabled. Try disabling the "Haptic Feedback" option within the Trackpad settings within the System Preferences. It should be the bottom most option on the first tab of Trackpad settings.
You are my hero. Problem solved! Thank you so much!!
You're welcome. Glad it helped.
