I use Leopard 10.53 and there are some things about moving files from folder to folder that are bugging me. Amongst the worst is when dragging a file from a folder over to the sidebar , I get about half way there and all of a sudden it stops and the spinning beach ball appears and just keeps spinning. The only way I have figured to get it to stop is to Ctrl Option Esc and force quit. Is this my user error or is there a glich I can do nothing about here? This is a major problem for me because I spend many hours copying and moving files. Thanks for any help on that.
