Copy/Paste for Network Password

This is just a small annoyance that I has bugged me. In the dialog box that comes up when you have no preferred networks available, it asks which network you would like to use instead. Then, if you pick a network with an encryption, a field for "Password" appears. In the past with Tiger, you could copy and paste a password into the equivalent field in the equivalent dialog. But now, it won't let me copy the password from an rtf file into that field.
It's a minor difference, but I hope Apple can change this back to the way it used to behave. I don't see why it would be important to stop a user from pasting.

Sounds like Apple is trying to enforce better security practices. This is also true with the login window so I suspect this functionality will remain the same.
If the password is readily available in an rtf file on your computer, why have a password for the network at all? Worse yet, if any outsiders know this, they'll target your computer in order to get other passwords. Major security breaches can be caused by combining multiple escalations of privileges. At the very least, I recommend against discussing your security procedures with anyone who doesn't need to know.

How do I disable copy/paste for most (but not all) of a .pdf?

Hello, I'm trying to create a .pdf document that is a "how-to" guide. I'd like to disable copy/pasting from 95% of this document, with the exception of a few sections that i'd like my users to be able to copy and paste and use as email templates. I've gone ahead and set pasword security settings and un-checked the box for "enable copying of text, images, and other content". Is there any way that I can enable copy/paste for just a few small sections of my document? or is it an "all or none" function?
Thanks in advance for your help. -Geoff

Graffiti, Can you please expand on that? I'm using Microsoft Word as my original document. I'll have mostly paragraphs of non-copyable text, with a few sections that contain sample email templates that will be copyable. Example below. Thanks, Geoff
Here is my description of an amazing new process written in Word. To use this process, copy the email template below and customize with your own name.

HT1595 My apple tv stuck at setting date and time. Also when connecting yo network doesn't ask for network password

My apple tv stuck at setting date and time. Also when connecting yo network doesn't ask for network password

I just went through this last night. (Aug 15, 2013)
What I did to get back up and running. This is not the first time I have lost the network connection with my Apple TV 3
Products effected: Apple TV 3 and Home Sharing (My Apple TV 1 was not effected)
Power down (unplug) the Apple TV and power down your router ( in my case, it is a FIOS router, flipping the on/off works fine).
Power both items back up.
At this point, I usually can reenter my Apple ID and PW. and reconnect Home Sharing. But for some reason I was unable to reconnect last night but was able to get it reconnected in the morning. I was jut to tired to deal with it last night.
A new issue that is was able to fix after a good nights sleep.
I did figure out, (after trying to reenter my ID and PW many times and having it tell me that my ID and PW was wrong), that when using the Apple TV on screen keypad to type in the user ID. DO NOT use the ".com" keypad button. Instead type out each character for .com. ( or what ever ending you use for your ID account.)
Once I typed out my full ID and PW. everything is back to 100%

Copy / Paste for the key of a Wifi connection on N...

Hello,
It would be great to be able to paste a password for the key of a Wifi network.
When a key is more than 60 char long and has a lot of special characters, it is really hard to type (with a numeric key because it is not possible to use the azerty keyboard on this screen).
Also, to be able to select some text from a Txt file would be great (so I can copy a text file in the memory card of the GSM and then I can paste it
Is there a way to do it?
Thank you
Marc

Press and hold the 'pencil' icon and at the same time, push the cursor towards the text. You'll be able to see the text being highlighted. Once you've completely highlighted the text, you'll be able to see 2 options on screen: Copy / Paste. Select 'Copy' (with your finger still pressing the 'pencil' button.) Now let go of the pencil button, and press and hold it again, then select 'Paste'
You can even exit the application that you were in and start a new one and paste your copied text there. The text will still be stored in memory until u either select another text to copy or restart the phone.

Windows 7 computers asking for network password to access shared files and printers on Windows XP PRO computer.

I have a network of 10 computers configured as peer-to-peer work group. I have upgraded one of the ten from Windows XP PRO to Windows 7 PRO. The other nine computers are all running XP PRO. AS near as I can tell they are all configured the same. I have the
same user and same passwords on all computers. One of XP computers is used as a print server. The Windows 7 computer initially was able to access shared files and printers on all XP machines with out requesting a network password.
Suddenly, the Win 7 computer began requesting a network password to access the shared files and printers on the XP print server. It will not accept any of the user names or passwords (all administrators on both machines with identical names and passwords.)
The Win 7 computer has no problem accessing the shared files on the other XP machines. It can even access shared printers in a different work group. Apparently something has changed but I'm at my wits end trying to figure what changed on either the Windows
7 machine or the print server XP machine.
I would appreciate any help. Thank you

Hi,
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
1.
Disable simple file sharing on the Windows XP computer:
How to disable simple file sharing and how to set
permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP
2.
On the Windows 7 computer, go to “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings” and ensure that the
following items are turned ON:
Network Discovery
File and printer sharing
And this one is OFF:
Password protected sharing
3.
Temporarily disable or remove all the security software (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.) on the computers and check if it works.
In addition,
I would like to share the following with you for your reference:

Hope this helps. Thanks.

Copy-paste for HTML

Respect,
I have to implement copy-paste feature for HTML content (from JEditorPane).
In my onButtonClick method I used something like this:
JEditorPane doc = contentPanel.getActiveEditorPane( ) ; //my html content
TextTransfer textTransfer = new TextTransfer( ) ;
textTransfer.setClipboardContents( doc.getSelectedText( ) ) ;This works ok only for plain text (i.e. when I try to paste on MS Word, I got plain text).
I need styled text, with all html tags, which MS Word is capable to display.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.

This is code that I can't use any more. Yes, I would maybe need to transfer images too (but not the moment). Now I just need too be able to correctly copy html content (all tags and headers). Is there any other "Transfer class"? Or, could I try to fire event like Ctrl+C? How do I do that?
thanks for your time

In the open doc, tap and hold over the phrase you want to copy. Move the pointers to enclose the phrase. Tap copy. Go to where you want to paste. Tap and hold in a space then tap paste.
And the same will work basically on most all documents, emails, messages, websites and URLs on the PlayBook.

ITunes 10.4.0.80 does not allow copy / paste for album artwork.

Only importing picture now works. Any one else having this problem?

Have you tried to drag & drop artwork instead of copy & paste? It seems to work just fine too.
The only issue I've faced with album artwork is what turingtest2 has mentioned, which is hardly an issue for me since I use MP3tag to edit ID3 metadata.
Hope that helps,

Acrobat 9 PRO windows help.. copy paste for dummy

Help...please
I open pdf documents, highlight the text, copy and paste into MS Word or other programs and the text spacing is all messed up. There are spaces between letters in words. How do I paste, copy or whatever? I want the copied pdf to look exactly the same in the created file that it is pasted into. If you can help, I'll need detailed instructions, my expertise is not computer stuff.
Very specifically, I'm a student and am allowed to convert lessons and lectures from text to voice to listen instead of reading all day. The NaturalSpeaker program works great on Word documents, email, and everything except pdf files. It will work on them too ifI remove the thousands of spaces that appear after pasting in the program or a word document.
Thanks.

Hi,
You are in something of pickle.
Not due to you or Acrobat.
Unfortunately, whomever provides the PDFs you are using appears to have failed to deliver a well-formed Tagged PDF from an appropriate authoring application having adequate tag management.
Tagged PDF is, by design (see ISO 32000-1), capable of supporting use of assistive technology applications, export of content (copy-paste is a sub-set of this) to Word (with layout - format- font info retained/provide), and reflow on mobile devices (tablets, smart phones, eBook readers).
Of course, the AT application authors have to hold up their end by releasing applications that behave properly with regards to the ISO Standard.
As PDF is very much a different format than that of a word processor the "copy-paste" of content does not behave in the manner we are all familiar with when doing this with a word processor file format.
Acrobat X provides a much more robust export to MS Word of untagged PDF content than that provided by previous versions.
Regardless, a well-formed Tagged PDF is usable by AT and Adobe Reader.
Lacking a "proper" PDF you could use Acrobat Pro 9 to add tags to the PDFs.
Then, export to Word or RTF.
Or, save as to accessible text.
Work this over with Word.
Be well...

Since updating can no longer use copy/paste for copying internet material into my Word documents

There was a recent update on Fox which I automatically downloaded. Now when I attempt to copy select material or articles I find online the usual copy/paste functions no longer work when I try to copy into already established or new Word documents

I have the same problem.
All of a sudden, I can't drag or cut&paste anything from the Character Viewer into my word documents.
I think it changed when I upgraded to Mavericks.
I get the circle with the line through it when I try.
I hope that someone reads this and has pity!
thanks

Plugin hangs when prompting for network password

Hi all,
Here is a summary of what happens :
The plugin hangs after displaying the dialog box for the
username / password for the firewall connection.
No exception is shown.
The applet is signed.
This occurs with Plugin 131 and 1.4
Code sample here :
URL url = null;
InputStream is = null;
URLConnection conn = null;
//Connect to the URL.
if (!_httpsFlag) {
try {
     // Open it up.
     is = new URL(request).openStream();
_httpsFlag = false;
catch (Exception e) {
try {
url = new URL(reqHttps);
conn = url.openConnection();
is = conn.getInputStream();
_httpsFlag = true;
catch (Exception e2) {
e2.printStackTrace();
     showMsg(noWebServerMessage);
return null;
else {
try {
url = new URL(reqHttps);
conn = url.openConnection();
is = conn.getInputStream();
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
showMsg(noWebServerMessage);
return null;
If someone has an idea of a solution to this, please help !!

Just for the record :
I sorted this one by creating a dummy connection before instanciating the graphical components of the applet.
The network prompt behaves properly if I do that.

Avoiding copy-paste for common "look" in JSPs

I'm sure this is a solved problem, I just don't know where to look.
I have two JSPs, one for search and one for search results. Both have
the same "look" - a banner at the top, navigation controls on the
left, and content in the middle. The banner, controls, and content are
different for each page. I would prefer to keep separate JSPs for each
page.
Since the "look" of the pages are identical, I'd like that information
to only live in one place. I can't do a <jsp:include> for the "look"
information, because then I can't put content-specifc information on
the individual page. Is there any way to do this without copying
the "look" code into each JSP?
Thanks!

External file transferring (windows copy paste from network to PC or vice vers sa) and lynk freeze.

os: win7 64bit
Lynk 2010 on 64bits
Problem: Every time i transfer a file on my PC to the network or download a file off network (Big video file - working in a video on demand company) lync keeps on working. If you send me a msg, i'll get that msg. BUT if i send a msg to someone ... BOOM ...
can'T connect to the server anymore or do anything other than to close Lync and wait for the upload/download to be done then reopen lynk.
Thanks !

Hi Fujoubou,
Does this problem happen to other users or on other computers ?
Did you check your computer performance and network bandwidth when the Lync 2010 became unresponsive ?
In addition, please try steps below to troubleshoot the problem.
1. Install the latest update of Lync 2010.
2. Uninstall and re-install Lync 2010.
3. Install Lync 2013 Basic and check if the problem reproduces.
Best regards,
Eric
