Hello!
Out of nowhere, I can no longer drag and drop files on my desktop or within my Finder windows. I also cannot drag pictures from Safari onto my Desktop. I do not think there is a problem with my Trackpad as I can still move Safari windows and the like around the screen. I am using an Intel-based Mac Book Pro with OS X 10.5.8 Any help would be amazing and much appreciated. Thank you!
I am having the same problem, but only after upgrading to OSX Lion 10.7.1 on a Mac Book Pro.
I'm having the same issue. I can no longer drag images from Safari (5.1.2) to Finder. I am on Lion (10.7.2). Has anybody found a fix for this? Having to right-click and "Save As..." makes me feel like I'm working in Windows XP, which is, needless to say, he11 of an unbearable kind.
Force-quitting Finder seems to do the trick — at least for now...
I was able to fix the issue by using the disk utility to repair permissions on the hard drive. I don't have the problem anymore!
Just to re-inforce this solution I will add that I had this same problem and just fixed it by "repairing permissions".
I can't drag and drop files...
