Burning DVD, can't drag or copy and paste items, all I get is an alias -mbp

Hi all
Just upgraded to Leopard, am I being dumb?
When I drag items to a blank DVD or copy from the HD and paste to the DVD all I get is an alias version of the files??
I have found if I hold down "alt" it copies the actual files... is there a way of swapping this as who wants to burn a disc of alias's??

PS Merry Christmas!

Actually ever since Tiger there has been a change to "burn folders" which show an alias when you drag items to a mounted blank disk. Prior to Tiger the system would indeed make a copy of items to be burned, then after burning you recovered the disk space. Starting with Tiger this was changed, the alias is used and when you burn the disk the system uses the alias and burns the original to the disk. The only thing to be aware of that can cause a problem is if you find you have more "stuff" in the burn folder than space on the blank disk, and open the alias in the burn folder to trash some files--you are, of course, trashing your originals. So don't do that! Move some stuff to the Desktop or another folder to reduce the size.

  • How can I use the "Copy and paste" tool in order get stamps in the same position in different pages (Acrobat XI for PC)?

    With Acrobat 6.0 I was able to copy a stamp in the same position (I mean "exactly" the same one) of different pages just by using the "copy/past" tool.
    Now I am using Acrobat XI and it seems like it is not possible anymore: I am copying a stamp and I am trying to past it in anoter page, but it appears in the center of the page (or wherever it wants to...).
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you very much. I'll be waiting for you message.

  • Why can I no longer copy and paste a whole page in page thumbnail?

    Why can I no longer copy and paste a whole page in page thumbnail?

    Apple has removed over 95 features in Pages 5.
    It has also introduced multiple file formats that are incompatible with each over as well as everything else, and numerous bugs.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • Since downloading 29.0.1 I can no longer cut, copy and paste. So frustrating!!!

    I often copy and paste items into website forums with no problem. However, since I upgraded to 29.0.1 I can no longer do that and it's so frustrating. I have tried doing the extra steps of clicking on your copy and paste items but that doesn't help. I even tried uploading the AllowClipboard Helper but that didn't work either. I never needed that add-on in the past.
    This is ridiculous.
    How do I revert back to version 28? It worked fine but you just had to go ahead and "fix" it and I hate the new version. I was able to download the Classic Theme Restorer which helped a lot but some things I could not make like the version 28.

    karen,
    You don't need that user.js file any longer for those cut, copy, and paste preferences.
    There is a Classic Theme Restorer support thread over here. <br />

    They'll be able to help you get rid of that orange Firefox button, which isn't needed if you have the Menu Bar showing.

    hi i can't seem to copy and paste pdf files from preview to a microsoft word document. it always comes up with nonsense characters in the word document. how do i fix this? thanks in advance

    Hi,
    The quickest way to do this (tested with OS 10.8.2, MS Word 2011) is in one line:
    tell application "Microsoft Word" to close every document whose name begins with "book"
    The reason why your script doesn't work is that you aren't specifying to Word which document you want it to close.
    So, changing one line ought to do it:
    close document incrementvalue -- instead of "close document"
    But... when you close a document, you change the document count. Document 2 becomes document 1, document 3 becomes document 2 etc. So eventually you'd get a message saying "The object you are trying to access doesn't exist".
    Because of this, if you want to do it in a repeat loop, you have to work backwards:
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
      set doc_count to count documents
      repeat with x from doc_count to 1 by -1
      if name of document x begins with "book" then close document x
      end repeat
    end tell
    Hope this helps.

  • All of a sudden I can not print my e-mail in firefox (I used to be able to) I can print if I copy and paste to MSW or do it in IE or a Web sight.

    All of a sudden I can not print my e-mail in firefox (I used to be able to) I can print if I copy and paste to MSW or do it in IE or a Web sight.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About a month ago

    Is it possible you mistakenly clicked on a [Clear Layout] button?
    But a great hint is- Always click on the [Create a Saved Book] button, early in your new book design.
    Then you have a permanent link to the book in the Collections panel. (In addition to the standard collection of your selected images)
    Note: a Book Collection shows an icon that looks like a book.
    Every time you come back to edit the book, open the Book Module by clicking on the white arrow that appears on the end of your Book Collection title. (The title as saved)
    Re-opening a book without using the "Saved Book" option can have unpredictable results.
    A "Book" Collection is like a "Smart Collection" because anything you do to the book design, change pages, change images, etc,  is automatically updated in the Saved Book collection.

  • In Firefox 36.0.1, can I show ONLY copy and paste in the navigation toolbar without showing cut?

    In Firefox 36.0.1, can I show ONLY copy and paste in the navigation toolbar without showing cut?

    Do you only want this to happen if you right-click in the location/address bar?
    You can ddd code to the <b>userChrome.css</b> file below the default @namespace line.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
    <pre><nowiki>@namespace url("https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    #urlbar menupopup menuitem[label="Cut"] { display:none !important; }
    </nowiki></pre>
    The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
    *Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
    *Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
    *Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    *Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.<br>Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

  • Can you add cut copy and paste icons to mail toolbar?

    Can you add a cut, copy and paste icons to the mail toolbar in macmail?

    I guess that these were considered such fundamental operations, each with an already existing variety of operations (mouse, keyboard, right-click, ctrl+c etc) that the Thunderbird devs didn't choose to replicate them again. Similarly, keyboard selection is relied upon a great deal in Thunderbird, rather than adding all the ugly (IMHO) checkboxes that now counterintuitively litter all Windows Explorer displays.
    So, if the devs expected you to use ctrl+right+shift to select the current text word by word, then ctrl+c to copy it, ctrl+x to cut it and ctrl+v to paste it would be quite natural, since your hands are already at the keyboard. Similarly, if you prefer to select by mouse, a right-click also offers options to copy, cut and paste, and there is also the possibility to drag selected text, serving cut and paste in one action. So it could be argued that there is no need for buttons.
    There used to be additional button add-ons for Thunderbird, but those that I know about don't appear to be under active maintenance and don't currently work with TB 31.0.
    You could build your own using a Custom Buttons add-on, but it isn't easy to find the appropriate function call to attach to your home-made buttons. :-(
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/custom-buttons/
    Here's the code you need if you try this add-on:
    cut: goDoCommand("cmd_cut")
    copy: goDoCommand("cmd_copy")
    paste: goDoCommand("cmd_paste")
    (taken from: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyconfig_extension:_Thunderbird )
    The tedious bit is finding suitable icons; the defaults are pretty but unhelpful coloured stars.

  • I want to move all my email data over the past several years from one yahoo account to another. I am told that I can use Thunderbird to copy and paste . How?

    I wish to close down one email account but have no time to indivuidaully send emails out piecemeal to my newly set-up email address/account.
    I want to keep the same InBox and Sent data columns as I have always had with dates associated with each email.
    I was told that setting up Thunderbird to deal with emailing can facilitate this copying and pasting between two accounts.
    Once done I wish to close my first email account ( its unfortuneately contractually linked to my old iphone 4 and I have changed cell phone companies so I am still keeping that account alive while I sort out how to move my data out into my new email account) and stick to using the new account.
    Both are yahoo.co.jp email accounts. Yes, I live in Japan.
    The Thunderbird program seems to have accessed and stored all of my email data . It did so quickly.
    Please advise what to do next.
    Thanks

    How do I do this?
    He will run into a problem when he wants to use his own account.  Some apps will have been purchased on one Apple ID and other apps will have been purchased on a different Apple ID.  That's a nuisance situation when the apps need updating and, unfortunately, there is no resolution at the present time (IDs can not be combined).

  • Why can I no longer copy and paste a link?

    Since updating Mozilla I have tried sending a link, but can no longer copy and paste it. I don't even understand what an anchor is....

    I am not the only one with this problem, which I didn't have before updating Mozilla. So what are Firefox going to do about it?

  • Why can I no longer copy and paste a page in the thumbnails view?

    We used to be able to copy and paste, even edit the order of the pages in thumbnail view. Why has ALL of this functionality been removed?! Or is there some special way to do it now that isn't as intuitive?

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 has had 90+ features removed and a load of bugs added.
    Any sensible user will just say "Pass!"

  • Copy and Pasted Items Open Original File

    How can I stop items that were copy and pasted from one document to another to stop opening the original (copied from) file when selected in the new (pasted into) file?

    InDesign works different than other programs you may be used to, which is causing your problem.
    When you want to include a graphic, don't copy it and paste it into InDesign. In general, that will produce a low-resolution copy. Instead, choose File > Place, and navigate to the graphic you want to include on your hard drive, and place it. That creates a link to the external graphic. You'll be able to view the link in the Links panel (Window > Links).
    It would also be better to create a new text frame with the Type tool, and paste content into it; or to choose File > Place to place an external file, like a Word document.
