Upgraded to High Sierra and I can not drag & drop files, or move/resize windows.
Checking System Preferences / Trackpad / Point & Click and I don’t see “Three finger drag” feature.
I reinstalled High Sierra, however, the problem remains the same.
Any idea what else could be done?
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2012), macOS High Sierra (10.13.1)
@KAPPY and @TYGB :Pls pls CHANGE or EDIT YR ANSWER as Kappy's steps are a massive "fluster cuck", A HUGE TIME SUCK & not even the FIX for this MADDENINGpain in the butt issue which I also lost my mind over. I too lost my ability to DRAG and DROP any folder contents when migrating & ** even had to COPY/PASTE contents into new folders manually which created dupes & my storage went to ****...THE FIX is a quick click.
**(In my attempt to drag them to MOVE em like before, i'd SELECT ALL contents in a folder, click to drag & it would select only the 1 file/flder the curser physically touched-UNselecting all Id just highlighted & BURST the 1 item into a QuickLook window, not allowing a drag at all)
My issue is the opposite. When I have a photo on my desktop, I can't always drag it into Photos. I can usually drag one or two, then it won't work anymore unless I close Photos and re-open it. This is so annoying since previously I could always drag pics into Photos and iPhotos.
Any solutions?
There is no force click and I can't even take a screenshot and show you that I can't see that or the 3-finger drag option. What am I missing? High Sierra - 10.13.4.
The left side of my trackpad is all but useless after having the technicians "vacuum" it out and maybe tighten it down at an Apple store. Thankfully I could at least get the right side of the trackpad to function (double click) with a 2-finger tap. This is getting ridiculous.
This solved my problem, it was much simpler than I thought. Thank you very much
Ha!! Thank you! This worked perfectly and was a much simpler solution than the above mentioned ideas. I am just confused how all of the sudden it stopped working. Regardless, Thank you @bfrazier!
I am having same problem. Don't have a trackpad installed. Any idea. Thank
see my easy FIX in reply to Kappy... thats wasted HOURS!
Odd. I don't store documents in iCloud.
bfrazier ... you made my day. Thank you.
You can drag and drop. Select the item then press down and hold on the trackpad. You'll feel a click when you press down. Then drag.
Hi and thank you for the reply’s. unforturely I am running an iMac 27 with High Sierra and there is no trackpad installed. I have tried a number of programs but still cannot drag and drop. Any other help would be really great. Thanks in advance
No drag & drop in High Sierra
