Can no longer copy and past jpg and gifs into InDesign from c:\user\doc\pics

Here is the error message we get when doing a copy and past from the hard drive to InDesign.
Error Message from InDesign:
Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing...
First, do I need to add a plug-in to be able to copy and past jpgs and gifs?
Second, we have always used clip organizer with no problem. Ability to copy and paste jpg & gif suddenly stopped. We get a box but no image ont the page. Have already tried dumping temp internet files through internet explorer. Have already un & re installed InDesign and repaired and fixed everything I could think of.
Third, we can use the place command to place jpgs but can not place gifs.
William (Helping Mrs. White)

It sounds as if Mrs White needs to search visually for graphics and then place them. She can either set Windows Explorer
to thumbnail view and drag a graphic on to an InDesign page - this will in effect be placing the graphic, not copying
and pasting, and is the right way to go. Or she can use File > Place, and set the view in the Explorer window that she
selects from in the Place command to a thumbnail view to see the graphics.
GIFs can be placed. They are not a recommended format, but if you are placing clip art then you may have no option.
So, in answer to your original question, no, you don't need a plug-in to place JPEGs and GIFs. But note that is place,
not copy and paste.

Can I copy and paste a ppt image into Indesign CC

Or do I still need to save it as a pdf and then place it as before?

You don't have to create a PDF, but it would be helpful to know what, exactly, you want to do with the ppt.
You can export as a PDF which will keep vectors and text as PostScript (crisp) elements.
You can also Save As from ppt in a variety of formats such as PNG or TIFF.
These rasterize all the vectors and text, but are very useful if you're laying out a miniature gallery of the powerpoint presentation.
However, if you want to make the InDesign file a replica of the ppt slides for print, PDF is probably the best way to go.

Can no longer copy and paste data from CD to disk

For the last little while, I can no longer copy (right-click > Copy "DATA CD") and paste (right-click > Paste Item) a data CD to a drive.
i keep getting the error "This operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
This is whether I attempt to copy to system drive (Desktop) or volumes which have their permissions ignored.
Thanks,

Never mind. Apparently there was something going wrong with the Finder. I ran Onyx, and things are back to normal now. I was concerned because I actually saw similar but not identical behavior on two Leopard machines. Running Onyx on the 2nd one now.

After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages.

After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages. I used to be able to select multipule cells in a row (such as company name, address, etc.) then paste and match style on to a pages letter. I found the paste and match style option in the edit menu, however it will only work one cell at a time. Before the update is was working great.

For diagnosing purpose thy the procedure in a new user account and see if it works there. You create a new user account in the System Preferences > Accounts. If it works in the new account it is probably a corrupt plist file that needs to be deleted.

How can I copy 8,000 titles of music from my pc to the new updated ITunes. I can no longer copy and paste them

I am trying to copy many titles of music from my pc to the latest I Tunes. I can no longer copy and paste them like I used to be able to do. I need serious help here. Any thoughts or resolutions? Frustrated

See also Repair iTunes Security Permissions and apply the suggested steps to the iTunes folder and the source media folder.
I may be reading too much into things, but is your media stored in a bunch of folders where each folder represents a playlist? If so my script ImportFolderStructure might be useful to you...

(v 5.5) I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another.

I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another in Illustrator (5.5). This started happening a few days ago. Restarting Illustrator and also my computer (Mac) didn't help. Any ideas?

To clarify: If I select an object in layer 1 using command/c or command/x then select layer 2 and press command/v the object gets pasted back into layer 1 instead of layer 2. I've tried everything I can think of and can't correct the problem.
Now the only way I can get an object from one layer to another is to drag it into another layer in the layers window.

The MacBook Pro will not allow me to cut-and-paste to and from or to click-and-drag to the external drive. I can copy-and-paste, but then I must send the original to the trash, which doubles the time and effort. Is there any way to cut-and-paste?

I have recently switched from a PC to a MacBook Pro.
I have a large number of documents and photographs on a multiterrabite external drive, backed up on a second multiterrabite external drive.
Both external drives are formatted for MacIntosh. This has been verified by agents at an Apple store and also at Best Buy in two different cities.
This is the problem:

Also, the MacBook Pro will not allow me to rename multiple documents or photographs. I can click-and-rename a single one, but this is impossibly time consuming. I can batch-rename in iPhoto, but when I transfer the photographs to the external drive, the rename does not transfer.
I’m reduced to using my wife’s Toshiba to cut-and-past, rename, and transfer documents. It works perfectly. Is there any way to do this on the MacBook Pro?
Thanks!

No, this is a philosophical difference between Apple and Microsoft. Apple believes that it's dangerous to cut a file in case the user never pastes it; in that case the file is lost. Microsoft seems to not have this problem (if I remember Windows correctly) because they don't delete the originating file if it's cut but never pasted.
Even though Macs have a lot of keyboard shortcuts, philosophically Macs have traditionally been mouse-first. This applies to file copy operations. In your case, what a Mac user would do is open the source window, open the destination window (on your second drive), and then Command-drag the selected files from the source to destination window. This is because a normal drag would leave the originals behind, while adding the Command modifier key tells OS X that this is a Move, not a Copy, so don't leave the originals behind.
(In addition there are different rules for drag-copying within the same volume or between different volumes. If you drag between two folders on the same volume, the files are moved. If you drag between different volumes, the files are copied unless you hold down Command to delete the copies on the source volume.)

Two problems in this case. First, batch file renaming is not built into OS X unless you build something with Automator. However, there are many utilities that can do batch file renaming which you can find at macupdate.com or on the App Store. Since I work with media I often batch rename using one of the media managers I have lying around like Media Pro or Adobe Bridge (comes with Photoshop).
iPhoto is a database front end designed to shield the file system from the consumer and let them concentrate on creativity and sharing. As such it is often a poor choice for managing files directly. When you "transferred the photographs" chances are you moved the originals, not the ones iPhoto edited which are stored in a hidden folder.

There will not be a way to do it exactly like Windows. As described above, there are ways to do it "the Mac way." If it is possible to remove judgment on which way is "better" you might find the Mac way to be acceptable, but of course sometimes we simply prefer what we're used to.

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

The problem is with version 10.4.1. I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work. The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me. Here was their list of steps:
Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
2. Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
     a. iTunes
     b. QuickTime
     c. Apple Software Update
     d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
     e. Bonjour
     f. Apple Appllcation Support
3. Reboot PC
4. Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes. To correct this:
5. Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
6. Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
7. Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
8. Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date. It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
9. Reboot PC

I can no longer copy/paste artwork after v10.5.1

The bulk of my library are teaching cd's from the same author. For most iTunes cannot find any info so I have been able to copy/paste the album artwork. Suddenly in v 10.5.1 I can no longer copy artwork.

I have discovered a work around.
Select an album that does have artwork you want to copy.
Drill down to the track level and select a track.
File > Get Info and select the 'Artwork' tab.
Select the artwork and Command-c to copy.
Now back to the iTunes grid display and select an album and right-click in the artwork viewer and paste.

I can no longer hold down a key and get the character to repeat as say, aaaaa. Instead I get a menu of accented a's, such as àáâäæãåā. I can't find any thing in the System Preferences that allows my to turn this function off

Back up all data before proceeding.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled NO
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Log out or restart the computer.

I have iphoto 7. I need to order additional copies of a wedding album. When I try, it tells me that I can no longer order on iphoto 7 and I need to upgrade. When I try to upgrade, it tells me tat I can't upgrade because I have OSX 10.6.8 What can I do

I have iphoto7. I need to order additional copies of a wedding album I creared LESS THAT A YEAR AGO!!!. Apperently I can no longer order on iphoto 7 and cannot download the upgrade on my OSX 10.6.8 system What can I do?

Your profile signature is confusing. There it says "iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)". But your question mentions older systems: " iphoto 7 and cannot download the upgrade on my OSX 10.6.8 system"
Do you have two different Macs? If you have a second mac with OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), you could upgrade that to MAvericks and buy the most recent iPhoto '11, version 9.5.1 from the App Store. That would be the least expensive solution to upgrade your iPhoto.
If you only have iPhoto 7 on OSX 10.6.8, you can can buy the boxed iLife '11 installer package from Amazon. This will install an early version of iPhoto '11, that runs well with your current system and will let you print your book. You will need to run the iPhoto library upgrader to convert your old library, see: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader
Also, you should be aware, that upgrading your library may change the book layout a bit, because the themes have changed between the versions, so you need to keep a backup copy of the library and iPhoto 7, to be able to compare the upgraded version to the original.

Copy and paste text and graphics between Flash and Illustrator

When copying text in Illustrator and pasting them to Flash, some text would become drawing objects and some remain text. A drawing object is not editable. If I import the AI file, then text remains text but the placement of graphics can be a little bit off sometimes.
It's just not possible to copy-and-paste text and graphics from Flash to Illustrator.
Is it just me? If not, when will Adobe have better integration between the 2?
Thanks,

Even though you can change your InDesign preferences for Clipboard Handling to allow formatted information to be pasted into InDesign from other programs, unfortunately Illustrator still won't allow you paste in text with formatting. This is due to how Illustrator and InDesign handle text differently. Even if you copy the text from Illustrator and paste it into a program like Word, which has a lot of different ways to handle formatted text, Illustrator just treats text differently than other Adobe applications.

Is it OK to copy and paste Aperture and iTunes libraries to new computer?

Is it OK to copy and paste Aperture and iTunes libraries to new a computer in OS X Mavericks?

Well, yes, you can copy them over. It's probably easier to use Migration Assistant though, as a lot depends on how the machines are connected, etc.
