Can't copy, cut & paste.

I just bought an HP TouchSmart520 PC & am trying to figure out how to copy, cut & paste. Clicking on the R mouse doesn't even have it as an option. Please help!

Hi,
Have you tried to use the keyboard ?
Hold down the Ctrl key then (a) Pres C for Copy and (b) Press V for Paste
If you wish to you Right click mouse (normally) you have to hightlight the area you want to copy first.
Regards.

Try to use the keyboard if the buttons on the web page aren't working.
* Copy: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert

Bridge CS6 Mac XMP File Info Panel Bug: can't copy and paste metadata

The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the xmp file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
This bug only appears in the xmp file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste from one field to another works.
The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.

Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

Suddenly I cant copy and paste copy/cut/paste is not available in Mozillia and firefox. Never seen this before

I have never seen this before when I try to copy and paste, I get a
"Copy/cut/ paste is not available in Mozilla and firefox. Do you want more information about this issue? "
I have copied and pasted hundreds of times before with Mozilla and firefox . This just happened suddenly.
when I go to find more information on this issue, it give a long drawn out explanation I cant follow.
What happened?

When you right-click the link, the page immediately tells you you can't copy, or does that occur after you choose Copy Link Location?
If it appears immediately, you can switch a setting in Firefox that should prevent sites from blocking the normal right-click menu. Here's how you would do that:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''context''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''dom.event.contextmenu.enabled''' preference to switch it from true to false.
This setting does have a complication: On Google Maps and other sites that have their own right-click menu, Firefox's menu then will block the site's menu. To clear Firefox's menu so you can access the site's menu tap either the Alt key or Esc key once (but sometimes Esc removes both).

[SOLVED]Cannot copy/cut/paste files in Konqueror

Hi all, I am using KDE4.1.2 (official version). My konqueror cannot copy/cut/paste files in 'file manager' mode, the copy/cut/paste items in the right click menu are always faded out, and C-x/C-c/C-v hotkeys do not work either. However, it can read/write/rename/delete files normally. In fact, 'Move to' and 'Copy to' menu works too. Meanwhile, dolphin does not have this problem. I am a little confused.:mad:

Hello,
I'm using kdemod, konqueror 4.1.4 in i686, and the paste is always greyed out (same happens with the button in the taskbar). The "copy" action seems to be enabled through ctrl-c and the right-click, but there is no way to say, because no paste can be done. Deleting files works, so it does not seem to be related to permissions.
Regarding the post
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57749
I installed konq-plugins, but it did not help. The paste is also greyed out in dolphin.
I wonder if anyone is having this same issue? I thought this was solved in 4.1.3
Thanks!

Trying to change security preferences so i can use Copy and paste

I am trying to follow the directions in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Midas/Security_preferences so i can add copy and paste to a certain website. when i try to open the "user.js" file i get an error that i took a screenshot of and can be found at http://gyazo.com/9047e8d57d6ffeed09ed570efcc87cc7 . please help

Use keyboard shortcuts if the buttons on the web page or other methods aren't working.
*Copy: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert (Mac: Command + C)
*Paste: Ctrl+V or Shift+Insert (Mac: Command + V)
*Cut: Ctrl+X or Shift+Delete (Mac: Command + X)

Edit menu - allowing copy/cut/paste

I am working on creating an edit menu and I would like to be able to disable the copy/cut/paste items in the menu when their use is not possible (like when there is no text based field to copy from).
I am guessing that one approach I can take is as follows:
1) Determine what component currently has focus, and whether it is a text field. If it is not a text field, then all three of the menu items should be disabled.
2) If it is a text field and there is a selection, enable the copy and cut menu items.
3) If it is a text field and there is an insertion point, then enable paste.
However, I have no idea how to accomplish any of those three step. Or even if that is the right approach. Also, I would like to implement the listener within my edit menu class itself (a subclass of JMenu), since I use it to insert edit menues into a number of different JFrames. I would appreciate any help or direction. Thanks.

I have followed the directions given and still can not copy and paste, how can I fix this?

I am trying to use the copy and paste function on a website and I get a message window that states that firefox does not allow cut/copy/paste. I followed the link for help and created the js. text file like instructed with the website's URL. I still can not copy and paste. I can copy and paste on this website with internet explorer, but not with firefox. I can not perform all the website functions with the internet explorer brower and switching back and forth from browser to browser is very time consuming and a hassle. Please help me solve this issue.

Try this using extension - Allow Clipboard Helper - it makes that a lot easier to do and lessens the incidence of user error. <br />

Add restrictions to copy/cut/paste in Excel when a worksheet is protected

Office Version: Office 2007;
Operating System:Windows 7;
Program:Excel
I need to be able to select via a macro or some other way the restrictions listed below on copy/cut/paste.  The worksheet will be protected.
The goal is to allow a user to have the capability to type in data or copy-paste-values only in the unlocked cells. I wish to block a user from changing the formatting or pasting a formula in an unlocked cell via copy or
cut and paste. This is necessary to maintain the worksheet/workbook integrity when multiple users have access to it.
1.
Disable cutting from unlocked cells
2.
Allow ONLY copy/paste value from any cell to any unlocked cell.
The user needs to be able to select locked cells.
Ideally, the user can copy-paste-values from that locked cell an an unlocked cell. The ability to copy from the locked cell is not an absolute need but being able to
select the locked cell is very important due to the large size of the worksheet.
The locked cells will have their formulas hidden.
I entered the question in the website below but received no feedback. The Microsoft tech support group said I should contact this IT Pro forum.

Unfortunately it is not easy; there are lots of individual items to deal with.
You can use Application.OnKey to disable (or repurpose) the key combinations (e.g. Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V, Shift+Del, Shift+Insert ) that you don't want used. Typically you would do this in Workbook_Open and reverse it in Workbook_BeforeClose (and you need to
save the workbook if necessary within Workbook_BeforeClose to prevent the user from cancelling the Save Changes message after your code has done its work).
In Excel 2003 you could use VBA to disable or make invisible the menu items and toolbar buttons that would do actions you didn't want the user to be able to carry out. But in 2007 you have to write XML using the custom UI editor and save it in the
XLSM file. A good site for information on how to work with the ribbon in 2007 is
www.rondebruin.nl
If you get most of the way there and get stuck on some point, do come back.
It would be good if MS extended the protection model to prevent cut and pasting other than values - it is a common requirement. I will go now and make that suggestion to the developers.

Can't Copy and Paste or Drag and Drop

I can't copy and paste, drag and drop, or use spotlight on my macbook purchased in 2007 running mac os x 10.5.8.
I noticed the problem when using serato scratch live initially because it wouldn't let me drag and drop the songs in to cue. I was able to use the key board short cuts and moved on. I then tried to clear some items from my desk top to the trash can and was unable to drag them. I was able to open the desk top in the finder and use the file, move to trash option. The problem became unbearable when I was reorganizing a word document and could not cut and paste within the document. The commands did not work from edit either. I have found that I am able to cut but not paste in the mean time.
A user kindly pointed me to a link using the terminal to see if I had a tmp folder. I did but the date was from October of 2007 which is around when I bought the machine. I have run repair permissions from disk utitilty as suggested in yet another forum to no avail...hence reposting with my specific symptoms?!?
Short of reinstalling mac os x, what are my options DOC?

In the Finder do a Get Info on the Folder you're trying to save to, what rights does it say?
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

I can't copy and paste in blackboard discussions.

I can't copy and paste in blackboard discussion or any where in blackboard when using firefox. I can if I use a different browser but I prefer firefox. I have also tried the keyboard shortcuts without succes. Any suggestions?

One possible workaround is to block the scripts on sites from detecting when you cut, copy, or paste using the keyboard or right-click context menu. You can do this by changing a preference in Firefox's about:config preferences editor. This may cause some side effects when copying on other sites, though, so it's not an ideal workaround.
To try it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''event''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled''' to switch its value from true (the default) to false.
This should take effect immediately, or after you reload the Blackboard page.
Does that make any difference?

How can I copy and Paste in the newly converted PDF to WORD?

How can I copy and paste in the newly converted document? I can save it to any Word format and cut within it, but not paste what I just cut or copy and paste.

Try copying all of the content in your Word document to a new document, then see if you can selectively copy and paste.
Let us know if that helps!
