Help the Noobie-Cut and Paste
Im new to Logic, coming from a protools/dp backround. Why is cut and paste so difficult for me?
Lets say I have a guitar part where the first verse is a better performace than the second verse. I want to cut a p[aste the 12st verse on top of the second verse.
I go to snap bar mode , highlight , copy , go to beginning of second verse , paste (in overlap mode). And everything seems fine. But once i click somewhere else in the track. The pasted region is hidden behind the longer original recorded region. What gives? Ive looked in the manual and cant find an answer. This is slowing down my work so much, please help!
thx
*You can either select drag-mode "Crossfade" (next to the Snap mode menue) - L8 will then automatically perform crossfades between the region or you use overlap mode and draw the crossfade in by yourself with the "crossfade tool" from the toolbox.
*You can choose "tie Regions by length change" from the Region menue (that´s probably a poor translation from my german menue), L8 will then shorten your first region so it doesn´t overlap anymore (setup a keycommand for it if you wish). Anyway, L8 will give priority to the second region so the first region will be cut off from the Audio output when Region 2 enters as you can´t play two regions from one Audio object at the same time. If Region1 already has the exact lenght you want and fits with the lenght of your first verse you can also use the command "perform multiple copies of region" (you find that in the Region menue also, setup a key command for this too if you wish).
*You can just press alt+click on region (which copies it) and drag it to the point you want it.

Cut and paste problem in an applet :(
Hi All,
I have developed an applet based GUI and now I wanted to cut and paste some text from an external application say from a notepad(Windows) to a
JTextfield in the applet. I tried to do it on a applet but it was not allowing me to do it. I was able to do the same(cut and paste) on a textfield when run as an application. So does the cut and paste operation has anything to do with the sandbox security provided by an applet model?. This sounds bit crazy or maybe Im missing something here. Would appreciate help on this.
Thanks a ton!
Thanks,
RamYou can always use CTRL-C and CTRL-V to copy/paste, but if you want to right-click, you have to implement it yourself.. Here's MY implementation, if even has 'Undo'!

Cut and Paste Photos iphoto 09
I was experiencing the same problem like the one described in the archived topic with the title "CUT AND PASTE PHOTOS" (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1897601&tstart=120). In few words I wasn't able to cut and paste a picture as when I tried to paste the picture to another event the right click paste command was grey.
I finally figured out a solution. In the 'Photos' in the Source list select the photo you would like to move, then right click and select cut. Select 'Events' in the Source list (left column), select the event you want to move the photos, the event will open in the photo library mode and you will be able to right click and paste the photo.
This doesn't work for Copy. Although paste is not grey, the photo can not move.The reason you can't cut and paste into another Event is that when you cut the photo goes into iPhoto's Trash bin and you can't paste because a photo can be in only one Event at a time.
You can move a photo from one event to another by clicking and dragging.

Cut and paste multiple selections to separate layers?
Say you have several items selected with a marquee.
Something like this:
Is there anyway, to have, in this example, all the icons cut and pasted to their own layer?No, there is no way to do what you want directly. Unfortunately some kind of selection has to be made, so that each item can be lifted off the original layer individually.
You may find that a simple square marquee does the trick. This can be moved quite quickly from one object to the next. The proces of making the marquee, activating the base layer and Command J can all be automated with an Action. You caould also modify you existing selction using lets say Quick Mask in a smilar way - a series of automated steps. -
My iCal has frozen when I tried to add a cut and paste to the calendar for notes on a meeting I'm attending. I have to force quit but the next time I open it is still frozen and everything I've tried doesn't erase the message so I can continue using. Can't use at all. Help!
I have the same problem--have you found a solution?

Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book with software updated to 10.6.8. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive? Pls.help. Tks.
Depending on which email client software you use
the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
Since you don't specify what mail application,
that would most be associated with the file.
I notice there are some items to the right of your post
where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
Good luck & happy computing! -
all my contacts have cell phone numbers next to their name. i would like to print a list of only this field. How do i do this? i tried to cut and past to Excel but it not a "clean fit" and is more trouble than it is worth. is there an easier way?
Firefox does not have a contacts list. Any contacts list will be part of a website that you are using, you need to contact the support for the site to see if they have an option to export the contacts.

I can't seem to cut and paste text into the community message form?
It seems I can't paste text data into this field. Can you help?
Win 7, explorer. Cut and paste from any text source (Word, Notepad, Explorer) has the same result. As an example, In this form window I cannot paste. But, If I open a new discussion, toggle the HTML button, I can paste. . For some reason the reply form does not have the HTML button. So, it might be a Java/browser thing - something is disabled.....
I'll try Chrome and see if the same thing happens.
I can cobble around it, but I've never seen this in any other HTML form before... -
I really hoped you would fix the security policy issue in release 4. I have to close Firefox and use IE9 to maintain a website I built with Network Solutions and I'd much rather not have to endure the slowness of IE. I also have websites with Wix and WEBS and have no problems at all using cut and paste with them.
Did you have it connected to the library mac when it froze? If so, why? I would be hesitant to hook my ipod to a unprotected public computer since it may be infested with viruses or have unknown hardware problems.
In any case, if you can get it to an Apple store they can probably help you with it, it sounds like it needs replacing.
A certain percentage of any complex product will turn out to be defective and will have to be returned, it sounds like you were unlucky enough to get one. Looking over the forums here it may seem like the ipod is plagued with bugs, but don't forget that there are millions who never have a problem and so have no reason to pipe up here. Personally I think Apple deserves a thumbs up for continuing to host these forums in spite of how they may cast a negative light on thier products to the casual observer.

I just cut and pasted photos from my Iphone into my HP.
NOw when I go and try to open the files from the computer it's giving me an error:
INVALID IMAGE
The file format is not supported or is invalid
WHat's confusing is that all files copy into my computer are already JPG. I have not changed anything, simply cut photos from my phone and copy them in my computer.
I need help !!! I have a lot of my baby photos and videos that I really want to recover.
PLEASE !
thank youTry using a photo import utility or application for this instead of doing it the archaic manual way. Even Windoze includes a scanner and camera wizard that can be used for this.

Cut and paste from Safari to Word doc please Help!!!!!
I am trying to take a map from the internet via either Mapquest or Rand Mcnally maps and put it in a Word document, and I cannot figure out how to do it. I have tried to highlight the map and cut and paste it in the document but this is not working, if anyone out there knows how to perform this function, please let me know as soon as possible.
Thanks
Chris KnopHi knopper, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
This should work. :~)
1] cmd shift 4 brings up a cross hair.
2] drag cross hair across the map and release.
3] see the png file, maybe jpg, on your desktop or where you have system store new things.
4] open to make sure its what you want.
5] copy it into word.
If that works, I like Green or Gold stars. See Apple info on the email alerts.
Thanks, Joyous Computing, JP -
How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?
For example: I have formulas in columns D and F that relate to columns C to CU
If I want to move one column from one position to another (say S to T), the formula loses the colums that was moved, i.e. it doesn't recognize it has moved, rather sees it as deleted... How can I do this without distorting the formula?Thanks for the feedback.
If I often urge askers to look at the available resources, it's because a large range of questions asked in the forums are already answered in these documents.
As they are PDFs, they are easy to search in.
CAUTION
Download them while they are available.
Given what is delivered with iBooks Author, I'm afraid that we will not get such easy to use documents.
Searching infos in the iBooks Author documentation available on line is awfully cumbersome and a lot of embedded links are wrongly flagged this way. In the Help files they aren't links but underlined strings.
It seems that the tool used to generate the web pages was wrongly configured.

Help! Cut and paste audio artifacts!
Hey all,
Using Garageband once I received my Mac, I was amazed at how easily I could take two tracks, merge them together, and there was no noticeable sound between the two tracks that were combined. This was a welcome relief, as the two previous programs (GuitarTracks, Cubase) I was trying on my PC were leaving the an unwanted sound change between the two; like the stopping and starting on a voice recorder.
With how great Garageband was making this cut and paste, stop and start process, I figured Logic would also make this rather expected process easy. However, once I started to cut and paste takes around in the program, I met with the same issue; audio artifacts due to the stop and start, cut and paste of tracks. So basically, I am left feeling as though I should do everything in one long take, which is absurd.
Please, does anyone know how to cut and paste tracks/takes and no longer worry about the present artifact between pastes?
Thanks!cablex1814 wrote:

Ok, I will look into crossfading then!
The manual has been intimidating, and I have a deadline for what I am working on, so unfortunately time is against me. Things that I think would be called one thing are called something different (quantizing & flex-time for example).
I am using the newb version, Logic Express 9.
Thanks for your help!
No probelm, I think what you're describing is noise when trying to overlay one audio file on top of another at a junction point and have them blend smoothly together. Is that correct?

when cutting and pasting in yahoo email, as i push paste, the rest of the page goes into and is replaced by what i paste, instead of bein added to
The ChromEdit Plus extension automatically creates a '''user.js''' ''(and the other 2 "user" files)'' upon installation, and it provides an interface within Firefox for editing those "user" files.
http://webdesigns.ms11.net/chromeditp.html
It makes it so you don't have to go hunting around for your Profile folder whenever you want to edit those "user" files by allowing you to access those files from within Firefox while it is running.
FYI, this support article might be a little more helpful for doing the user.js file manually than what you cited as having read. <br />
