Hey everyone after doing a quick search I was not able to find my issue on here or on google. It also might be that I am searching it wrong.

Basically here it is.

I bought a 27" imac and a Trackpad and magic mouse. The mouse is useless lol

The trackpad makes me feel like im still using my laptop so I enjoy it.

The issue that I am having is dragging of icons. When I highlight a single icon or image on my desktop, it requires me to have my pointer over the "name" and not the actual "object". It wont let me pull it unless I am grabbing over the word.

I also have that glitch at times where it leaves a thumbnail of whatever I am moving and I have to restart the finder to get it removed.

I did pull out my mouse, and it works just fine. I can select multiple items with the mouse and move them as where with the track pad, it only lets me select one. Very frustrating.


Thanks in advance.

(and I just tested it right now and it worked fine. But all night when I was saving photos on my desktop and wanting to delete multiple it wouldnt let me)
