Choose View > Accessibility Scroll down to Mouse & Trackpad Tap Trackpad options ... Check "Enable dragging" and tap Done. Should be sorted. Why it isn't replicated in Trackpad Preferences I'll never understand. Perhaps with another Preferences reorganisation in Yosemite ... ;-) Cheers, Stephen "A terrorist is someone who has a bomb but no air force" ~ Unknown On 25 Jul 2014, at 16:26, Paul Owen <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a problem with Trackpads, > > I am used to tapping one and a half times (keeping your finger on the > Trackpad after the half tap) to grab an object (file or folder or window) and > move it around to where I want.
