why can I no longer drag an image to my desktop from a letter in my mailbox??

Thank you for this trove to download!

What I finally did was restart the computer an ancient way -

PR, option, command. The imac didn't respond like back in

ancient times, however, I can now click on the images and

they come up smooth, and can also easily drag images from

mail to desktop. So whatever happened cleared up the present

glitches.

I greatly appreciate your help, and have started trashing old files.

Thanks greatly!

I didn't quite follow you, but immediately after rebooting the iMac, held the shift key down,

and now can move a copy from mail to the desktop.

What is weird is that now when I click on a desktop image it lurches to less than full size at first,

then lurches again a little larger, then finally lurches to full size.

Normally when you click on it, it quickly smoothly scales to full size.

It's not a real problem, but just looks a bit glitchy.

Maybe Apple should work on this.

Yes, it opens when I double click on it, but the only way I can actually move a copy

to another location is via the menu.

I can no longer click and drag.

Should I start deleting?

Also, I've never done any kind of clean up.

Is there anything I should be doing to keep things optimal?

Some kind of software?

Thanks!
