Can't lift text from Firefox

Searched and found one old thread where someone couldn't lift text from Firefox and was advised to View Source and copy it from there, but that will not work for me. Is Firefox just liftproof or what? I lift headlines and a paragraph or two from news stories and link to them from my site bradmesser.com. OS 10.6.5, iMac 7,1, Firefox 3.6.12 (new Firefox beta doesn't work well at all for me, trashed it)

Normally I copy text from a site in Safari, then go to Dreamweaver and paste that text. When I copy from a Firefox site such as <http://www.sacbee.com/2010/11/12/3179800/white-house-notebook-no-dead-fish.html?storylink= lingospot_related_articles> and go to Dw and paste, nothing is placed. But when I paste to, say, TextEdit, it DOES paste. Too weird, huh.

When I cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I get an error stating 'Out of memory, close applicantions and restart windows'. This does not work. When I had IE I never had this issue. Help!

When I try to cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I receive an error that says 'Not enough memory, close applications and restart windows'. This never works! I never had this issue with IE! How can I fix this issue?

If the crashing only happens with other peoples projects it could be for a variety of reasons. There are tons of asset references saved in the library (the location every item was imported from) and much more. None of those locations will exist on your system and internal complications may simply happen, especially with any runtime shared assets.
If possible you should consider adding more system RAM so you can multi-task. RAM is extremely cheap. I'm assuming from a smaller 500GB HD and 4GB RAM that you're probably on a laptop however. Installing RAM is still usually pretty easy if you have the notebook manual (or grab it online). It typically involves just lifting the keyboard or opening a single panel on the bottom of the notebook but it varies greatly. At any rate, 8GB RAM would help you quite a bit. If you do, just make sure you get the correct type of RAM (again, in the specs in your manual).
Even when you run out of physical RAM, Flash (like any other application) will still see more RAM based on the OS's swap memory setting (using available space on your HD as RAM). It will get much slower but Flash should see the total amount the 32bit OS can handle for RAM (it doesn't know if it's physical fast RAM or SWAP (fake) HD RAM though). If you open other apps with Flash they should also operate, but will also use swap RAM and you've probably noticed your HD crunching a lot while more apps are open.
That said, I have a 4GB RAM in my older i7 lappie and have used Flash CS5.5 and CS6 on it extensively, with other applications open. Although my projects contain mild assets and mostly tons of code. No issues at all. I just think your heavy assets are crashing you.
Either way, glad you got your work done. You're welcome and good luck!

Can't Copy Text From PDF Within Gmail Preview

Hi,
If I click on a pdf attachment while inside gmail, I get the expected preview window of that PDF. However, I can't copy text from it. If I press Command-C, it just makes a beeping noise letting me know nothing is being copied. If I select text and right-click, there's no 'copy' option. Also, in the top toolbar, Copy is greyed out in the Edit menu. However, if I just hold down Command-C for a couple seconds the text will copy anyways (while hearing a dozen audible beeps). I can copy text without issue using Firefox from the same PDF attachment preview inside Gmail.
Thanks for any help.
Yosemite 10.10.1
Safari Version 8.0 (10600.1.25.1)

Having same issue as well. I've had this problem pre-Yosemite and it seems to be Safari related. Copy to clipboard in Gmail preview works fine in Chrome & Firefox, just not Safari. As you indicated if you hold ctrl-c long enough it will eventually copy, just forces you to listen to the series of annoying bongs.
Also there's no copy to clipboard in the context menu as illustrated below:

Pretty annoying really, I'm not about to download a dozen attached PDFs to copy to clipboard, so now I'm sitting in the Delta lounge with my laptop bonging away as I wait for Safari to copy to clipboard and everyone looks at me like I'm a moron.
NOTE: No I do not have acrobat or any other software loaded besides vanilla Safari. This has gone on on my MBP, Mac Pro and now this brand new MBP I got Monday as a company upgrade, it literally has nothing installed on it at the moment.

I switched from an iPhone to a Droid and can't receive texts from iPhones now, help?

I switched from my iPhone 4s to a Droid and I do not have that phone anymore. I can not recieve texts from anyone with an iPhone and can not get in contact with my girlfriend or siblings now. I think their phones are trying to send their texts as iMessages to my phone that does not recieve iMessages. How can I just delete my Apple account and recieve texts again?

Sounds like you didn't turn of iMessage on your iPhone before making the switch. If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it. Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

I can't print anything from Firefox. I get blank pages

Ever since I downloaded the previous update, I can't print anything from Firefox. I just downloaded version 3.6.8 and I have the same problem. I am using a Mac with OS 10.6. Whenever I try to print an email or a web page from Firefox I get a single blank page.
I can print fine from Safari. Firefox worked fine until I installed version3.6.5 (or whatever the previous version was)

Thanks I will check out the site!

How can i release text from a text box?

How can I release text from a text box? I want the shape of the text box without the text in it.

So all you need is to make a line around the text?
For this you don't need to release the text box from the text. Just apply a stroke to it.

Another method is tosave your Word document as an a web page. Then open the htm file, copy the text and paste into an HTML snippet on your web page. Resize to show all the document and publish. It will retain the style, font and alignment of the original Word document.

Same problem in iphone4s and ipad2
iOS 5.1

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks for your advice... My overall iPad performance is much mor "snappy" but here is what I get with a paste to this message:iPad 2 User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software)
Touch and hold the link. You can open the link in Safari or copy the link address to the clipboard .

And this was not what I was most recently copied to my clipboard while using Safari! Befor trying this copy/paste I even cleared Safari cookies and cache! Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Can't delete tabs from Firefox on my iPhone

How can I delete tabs from Firefox on my iPhone? I'm using Firefox Sync and the number of tabs keep getting bigger. I'm up to 48.
PS: I've tried the iPhone forum but no one replies. It's looking like there is no support for Sync??????

Good morning,
Sorry, ContactsTap does not solve the problem. It doesn't know about the "All on my iPhone" Group. Inside the app the contacts show as uncategorized.
The problem is that if a contact is saved as "All on my iPhone" how can I move it to another of the native iPhone groups so that it syncs with the other group source.
It is possible to link the contact with other contacts on other groups but I cannot move it to another group. It seems you have to retype the contacts.
Someone forgot to include this feature. May be next iOs update?
Best regards

You can't. Restoring from a backup is all or none.
You can use a utility such as this one to extract the messages from the backup on your computer but you can't re-transfer the messages to the Messages app on your iPhone.
