I can't cut and paste any images into apple mail

I have had my MacBook Pro for over three years now, without much trouble, but recently I've been unable to send images that I have cut and pasted into Apple mail. I can attach an image that I have saved in my photos and it will send but I can not send an image that I have cut and pasted from the internet.
I am using a gmail pop account and firefox as my primary browser. It took me a few times to figure this out as the image appears to be attached in my mail, but is removed when I send, such that if I have text and an image in an email the recipient receives only the text. Before I hit send I can see both the text and the image.
I have tried starting again in safe mode and repairing permissions. That has not helped. I can login to my gmail regularly and cut and paste images with no problem.
This is exceptionally frustrating.

Hello. In 2012 you answered a query about the following problem:
"I have had my MacBook Pro for over three years now, without much trouble, but recently I've been unable to send images that I have cut and pasted into Apple mail. I can attach an image that I have saved in my photos and it will send but I can not send an image that I have cut and pasted from the internet."
This problem started with me this morning and it does not happen when I open a test account. The thread stops after you asked if it occurs in the test account, did you ever find a solution to this issue? I am using mac mail 3.6 on system 10.5.8.
I hope you receive this, I have never posted in one of these forums.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

How can I copy and paste quoted emails from Apple Mail v4.5 into another application?

Hi,
Having just moved from Entourage to Apple Mail on an Exchange back-end, everything is running smoothly except for one thing - when I copy emails that include quotes from replies (i.e. those coloured vertical lines down the left of the message) and paste them into other applications (Word, TextEdit, etc.) these indentations are not preserved, and instead each line starts at the left margin. This makes following interleaved conversations in the pasted document very difficult. It's as though Mail allows me to copy the view onto the message, rather than the source of the message (I believe that Mail simply reinterprets the '>' quote indentations for presentation, but retains these in the stored message).
How can I restore copying of quote indentation in Apple Mail for pasting in other documents?

You will need Pages or a sjmilar word processing program for this, TextEdit doesn't appear to be capable. Using Pages:
Open your message. From the 'View' Menu choose "Message>Raw Source'.
Copy the body of the message.
Paste into a Pages Word Processing blank template.
Open Find, click 'Advanced'.
Set 'Find' to '>' (no quotes)
Set 'Replace' to tab (select from the 'Insert' drop-down menu)
Click 'Replace All'.
Set 'Find' to '=20' (no quotes)
Set 'Replace' to a single space.
Click 'Replace all'.
Obviously this will lose the colours which identify the level of quotes but you will have the indentation.

Can not cut and paste in 10.5.5 in on user profile but other users fine

Hi, all,
We have an 24" iMac running 10.5.5 (with all latest updates). Pretty simple machine, nothing fancy on it, just simple machine. One of the 5 users on it can not cut and paste, but other users can just fine. I can not find anything much on this. Any & all advice is most appreciated.
Thank you.

I very much appreciate the suggestion, I do, and please do not take this the wrong way, thank you again for taking the time to try to help me, but ..... I am not going to take a bazooka to this ant hill on this specific issue for this user.
We're talking about hours & ours of work, maybe more, to find out why cut-n-paste (ie: Apple+C and Apple-V) do not work & that ought to be findable & correctable as a single issue with a single action.
If it is not, then I guess that is another issue isnt it, and I'll be taking that up with the manufacturer.
I continue to look for the "right"(tm) solution.
+note to "discussions site webmaster": why would this form as the poster for the OS & model & details of their post again (ie: when theyre replying here, to someone else, as I am here). Do we think that those items have changed in the last hour since the first post? Not only does it ask again, youre required to answer them again since they dont "remember" the poster's first answers, since it would confuse everyone to not answer, since the defaults are incorrect (ie: the defaults arent even the latest stable software versions).+

Can I cut and paste directions obtained via maps into a word doc or something so I can see them if I can't connect to the internet

Can I cut and paste directions form maps into a word doc - or save it somewhere on my iPad so I can access it when I can't access the Internet?

Take a screen short.
Simultaneously press the Sleep and Home button. You will notice an on-screen flash. If you have sound enabled, you will hear a camera click.
The screen shot is stored in Camera Roll.

Great tip Stephen!!
I was so frustated from this issue that I used to use Windows iTunes for mass editing info, adding Lyrics etc and then transfering songs to Mac. This tip has alleviated my pain!!
Thanks for the tip. This question should be tagged as answered.

I can't cut and paste and the mac doesn't see me as the admin

Okay so here are my current frustrations and issues:
1. I can't cut and paste anything! Not from emails, not in documents, nothing.
2. I went to make changes in the utilities and when I started, under my name, it said admin and now it says standard and the computer won't allow me to make changes. I try to enter my name and password and the computer says I am not the admin.
3. I can't delete the "test" user and "guest" user because apparantly there is no admin.
I have rebooted using the install disk and I was able to change the passwords but I still can't get in as the admin.
Is there a way to override this before I a) pull out all of my hair, my husbands hair and the hair belonging to my cat and/or b) before I throw the machine out the window and then have another frustration that the unit is not working?!

First back up all your data, if you haven't done so already.
Boot in safe mode (shift key down at startup) and check to see whether the clipboard now works. If it does, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and try again.
Next, boot in single-user mode by restarting the computer and holding down the Command and S keys at the chime, until you see white text on a black background. Wait for the text to stop scrolling, then follow the instructions on the screen, which will tell you run the fsck and mount commands. Be very, very careful to type the commands correctly. After you enter the mount command, please enter this:
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
Then this:
exit
The Mac will now boot up as if for the first time. Go through the setup procedure to create a new admin account with the same name and password as the old one.

When I try to cut and paste my resume into an online job website the reume' will not highlight ( select All), any ideas?

When I try to cut and paste my resume' into an online job website it will not highlight, ( select all), I can click and drag it into the empty box but then it becomes an attachment. What am I doing wrong? Help!

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

Can i cut and paste a gb track?

can i cut and paste a gb track? i'm recording a one on one interview. i will export to itunes and burn a cd. but i was told cd will not exceed 80 minutes. if interview goes longer than 80 minutes, can i cut and paste from one track to burn two cds? i have gb2.

To make sure you have the terms correct, you can't get a "track" you can cut/copy/paste "regions" within a track. So yes, you can do what you want.

Safari Can't Cut and Paste Pics

Hi All
I can not cut and paste pics to Delphi forums. Others have the same problem, Some have tried Firefox but no luck.
Seems that you can only do it with Internet Explorer. Icckk
Anybody know how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance

HI,
One possibility. From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
At the bottom of that pane select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the Safari Menu Bar click Develop / User Agent / Internet Explorer. Try 8, 7, or 6.
No guantee but it's worth a try.
The next time you relaunch Safari it will default to Safari 5.

How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

You are trying to copy a link, it is most likely in a different color such as the words "Microsoft's own forums" in his post. In Word highlight the word or words, control click on them, select Hyperlink, then Edit Hyperlink, then delete the link from the top box. It will then have a button asking if you want to "Remove Link", click on it.

Lately, I'm unable to paste any image into the body of any email I compose. I did not have this issue before today. Please help.

Could this issue with not being able to copy and paste any image within the email body, be virus or malware related?
Though I don't think I have any virus problems. Also I have all the latest updates for Thunderbird.
I read some suggestions posted elsewhere and tried those but none of these worked :
DID NOT WORK #1 :
(If your Thunderbird email message is displaying strange-looking code (tags) after each link, images are missing (it looks like images have been stripped out), and the font appears different, or bold, then you’ve most likely changed the message body view inadvertently. To switch it back, simply:
Browse to View -> Message Body As -> and select Original HTML.)
DID NOT WORK #2 :
Email message looks fine, but doesn’t contain images
If the rest of your Thunderbird email message looks okay, but is missing images, or they appear to have been stripped out, it’s very possible that you’ve changed a setting that won’t let attachments (ie. pictures) appear inline (within the message body). To change this back, simply:
Browse to View -> and select Display Attachments Inline. )
DID NOT WORK #3 :
If you made the above changes to your Thunderbird settings and images still aren’t appearing in some of your messages, it may be that Thunderbird is blocking them because it thinks they are spam. To adjust your privacy settings and prevent the images from being stripped out, or not displaying at all (ie. being blocked), simply:
Click on the button to the above right of the email message asking you whether you would like to load images.
If the email message is from a trusted sender, you can click the link above the message specifying you would always like to load images in messages from this particular sender.
DID NOT WORK #4 :
If you’re still having troubles, or your changes aren’t being saved (ie. next time you open Thunderbird the images won’t display again) you can directly specify the default format Thunderbird should display email messages as in the config editor. To access it, simply:
Browse to Tools -> Options -> Advanced tab -> Config Editor
Search for mail.default_html_action and make sure it is set to 3 (allow original HTML). If you would like messages to open as text only (more secure, but you won’t see images, change the setting to 1).
Could you please suggest what possibly has caused this issue? Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your response.
After searching around for any pointers to my problem, the above fixes I listed were the things that came closest to maybe addressing the issue, that I was able to locate. But since none worked, and as you pointed out, it is now clear they will only help towards viewing sent images rather than helping with inserting any images in the body of the email, which is the problem I suddenly started facing today.
Coming to your suggestion, on opening the Write window, the Insert choice on the menu bar is indeed available. And I had already tried using that, by clicking on the '''Insert ----> Image''' option listed. That opens
up the "Image Properties" box but using that has not resolved the matter either. It results in an image box getting inserted within the email but without the actual image itself.
Plus, normally I am able to use the '''Paste''' function in the Edit menu or through right-click, but today the (Cut/Copy/Paste) functions have gone inactive, thereby disallowing me to use that to place an image within the email.

How to cut and paste a picture into a shape in Illustrator CS4

In illustrator CS4 I am trying to cut and paste a picture into a shape. In freehand the shortcut was so easy. I know there is one in Illustrator but cant remember what it is, can anyone tell me?

K8,
What Steve said, with the addition that you may get rid of the outlying parts, by:
1) With the mask selected, in the Transparency palette dropdown select anything but Normal,
2) Object>Flatten Transparency, no need to change options,
unless you have withheld information and really want to distort the picture to fit the shape, in which case you should select both shape and picture and Object>Envelope Distort>Make with Top Object.
The procedure 1) - 2) is destructive in case of vector artwork but makes no difference with raster images, and it makes it easier to avoid accidental/unwanted selection outside the Clipping Mask.

To answer some basic questions posted to aid people in helping me. These are
I believe it is version 11 of iphoto as i tried to update but it says it has the latest update and Mac is 2 weeks old from new.
OS is Lion.
I have just tried to look everywhere on the Mac to see where the photos might be.
There are no error messages showing on screen and it was fine before my wife did what she did. Even though we have back -ups of 95% of the pictures. I would like to know what happened so that it won't happen again.
