How can I copy/paste without copying the formatting?

How can I copy/paste without copying the formatting? For example, if I copy a sentence from a website and paste it on text editing program, it copies all the formatting as well. How can I turn that off?

There is an app called "No Formatting" in the App Store. It is simple and works perfectly - it strips formatting from paste (Ctr-V). I needed it for Word and Excel, which don't have keyboard shortcuts for this. It can be toggled on and off from the Menu Bar.

  • How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    Hi
    I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
    Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).
    How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
    There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.

  • Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
    You'll find it here :
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    where ~ is your Home directory.
    If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
    It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
    A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
    TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".

    how can i start aperture without retyping the serial number?

    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your Macintosh HD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.

  • HT201541 How can I update Safari without updating the OS?

    How can I update Safari without updating the OS? I presently have 10.7.5 and 1.6.1
    I am getting too many notices that my browser is out of date...
    b
    PS, a note to Apple. You use terms like Mountain Lion,  Yosemite, etc. But in other places you use
    10.6, 11.7, etc. Could you be consistent? use one or the other, not both. Please. Or always use both together.

    Shoot Apple, you don't make things easy. I don't want to upgrade OS as you now require an itunes account to get upgrades, and I'm against that. (until I have to).
    So I switched to the chrome browser, that works.
    PS, Ralph, yes, I can lookup the version numbers, but I have not felt the need to memorize them. My question is why does apple make it so difficult that we have to memorize the version number to name correspondence?

  • Copy/paste without using the clipboard?

    Can this be done without using the clipboard?
    myTable.select()
    app.copy()
    app.select(myCopyFrame.insertionPoints.item(0));
    app.paste();

    Can you please not use that site, or (if you must) at the very least not refer to it in this forum?
    Its entire contents is "stolen" -- the guy who made it advertises himself as "proficient XML and HTML programmer", but rather than proving it by doing something worthwhile himself, he copied the entire contents of the heavily improved HTML version I made from Adobe's own documentation. To add insult to injury he wrapped it up in heavily advertised pages.
    The help text is Adobe's own, but I vastly improved upon it by adding yet even more hyperlinks, categories, and a graphic hierarchical view. An even better version than the one this ****head stole can be downloaded for free (and without any advertisements) from http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html. I made it better just to prove I could; so far this stinking thief didn't dare copy the latest version -- yet.

  • How can I move data WITHOUT copying it ?

    Hi Guys,
    A few days ago, the Apple Store gave me a free "upgrade" on my MacBook Pro, from 10.6.8 to 10.7.3.
    However, Apple's gift has turned into a nightmare for me.
    I'm far too busy with work deadlines to have time for the 10.7.3 learning curve at the moment.
    Instead, I just want to go back to the pleasingly predictable 10.6.8.
    Therefore, I'm going to back up all my data onto an external hard drive, then completely erase the internal hard drive, and just start again, with a clean install of 10.6.8.
    However, in order to do that, I first need to retrieve a 200 GB folder from the Trash.
    The folder which is in the Trash has NOT been deleted.
    Instead, it's just sitting in the Trash, waiting to be deleted.
    However, when I attempt to drag the 200 GB folder out of the Trash, and put it back on the Desktop, 10.7.3 starts copying the entire folder, instead of what 10.6.8 would have done, which would have simply moved the folder onto the Desktop without copying it.
    In plain English, all I want to do is MOVE a 200 GB folder out of the Trash, onto the desktop, WITHOUT copying the folder.
    Simple in 10.6.8.
    An apparent impossibility in 10.7.3.
    I've tried holding the Command key down while dragging the folder out of the Trash, but that doesn't work.
    If you know of a workaround, which would apply to the ENTIRE hard drive, plus ALL external hard drives, even if it has to be a Command Line which I type into Terminal, that would be brilliant.
    Please help.
    Many thanks.
    Best,
    Michael T

    Hi Thomas,
    Thank you again for another very swift response.
    The folder got into the Trash because I'm an idiot who didn't think he needed it anymore.
    Then I thought: hold on a minute.  I'll pull that back out of the Trash before I delete it, JUST in case.
    And thank goodness I did.
    Here are the Terminal results:

  • How can I Scroll Down without losing the lightbox in the center of the screen?

    I already tried with different slideshow presets with no results.
    If I click in the first photo the slideshow screen remains on the top, It seems that it doesn't scroll down with me. I would like to slidedown and click into the last photo without losing the lightbox in the center.
    I already ask for help by chat, but you didn't answer how i expect.
    here the link of the example:
    FOR MUSE STAFF

    Hi
    This is not possible directly using the widgets, as you would need customize this where the page scrolls but lightbox should still be centered.
    Another way of doing would be aligning the images horizontally on page with smaller version and then use lightbox effect , where the clicked image will still be on page but user can click on other images.
    Thanks,

  • Need to open .fcp  project from FCP7 in FCPX 10.0.3. How can I achieve this without exporting the original from FCP7 to a QT movie? I need the original timeline in FCPX.

    I have been working on a scholarship short film for a couple of months now (am a senior in high school) and have been using my school's Mac Pros with OSX 10.7 and FCP7 to edit it. Yesterday I bought a Macbook Pro and got FCPX, and am having trouble moving everything over (the computers at school are going to be wiped for the end of the year soon and I must continue to edit it on my MacBook). The project file "MattsShort.fcp" from FCP7 at school isn't even being recognized as a project file by the newest version of FCPX, so obviously I cannot open it and get to work connecting the media. How can I open this file in FCPX? Excluding exporting the project at school to a quicktime movie, I need to be able to further edit the timeline.

    Cool, thanks! I was able to import the timeline into FCPX but all of the files are offline, even though I imported the same exact clips that were in the original FCP7 project, into the same 'event' that I have the new FCPX timeline in. I believe the problem lies in that FCPX imported the clips and named them after the date and time they were created, rather than the "Clip #XXX" that FCP7 assigned to the timeline. Does this sound correct? And if so, is the only way to solve this problem to go back to FCP7 and rename all of the clips assigned to the timeline to the names FCPX gave them? I really hope there is a simpler solution but given all of the work it takes to even import a FCP7 project into FCPX, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the only solution.
    A little more info: When I use 7toX to convert the XML file, it says that my media will be offline.
    EDIT: I just watched a youtube video that explained that 7toX brings over the required media.....why isn't it doing that for me? I am on two different computers if I hadn't already said.

  • If your Iphone 2 is disabled, how can you restore it without losing the contents? We know the right passcode.

    We are trying to restore a disabled Iphone 3. It does not have active phone service, but is used for apps. We know the correct passcode but my son entered it wrong too many times and it disabled. The phone says to connect to ITunes but that is not working because of the passcode. Does anyone know how to restore the phone without losing the contents?

    You will have to restore, losing anything not saved to your computer.

  • How do i replace text without changing the format?

    also, how do i replace a photo with a new one?

    If the text is live, you can double click on the thumbnail and it will select the text. At that point you can type in the new text.
    As for the photo, that depends on the document. It can be as simple as closing the document and opening the next image.
    If the image is on its own layer, you could just delete the layer or if you want to preserve the style asociated with it, you could use selection tools and delete the image, then place or paste the new image in its place.
    If it is part of a collage, you may want to convert the image(s) to a smart object. Then in the layers submenu, you can choose to replace the image.
    The advantage of the smart object is it will remember the scale of the image.
