Can you cut and paste in the iphone?

Any information on cutting and pasting in the iphone is appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Unfortunately the iPhone does not support Copy & Paste. Though as we have already seen, a great deal of functionality has already been added to the device via free software updates so it would be possible for it to be implemented in the future.

Can you cut and paste in aperture?

I want to cut a piece of one picture (the moon) and paste it into another. Is that possible?

I want to cut a piece of one picture (the moon) and paste it into another. Is that possible?
Just for the fun of it: You can sort of copy and paste within the same image, using the clone brush in Aperture, but not between different images.
Sometimes I use the following work-around:
Combine both images into one image, for example by printing them together as a tiff to a folder on the Desktop and reimporting to Aperture
Then I use the clone-brush (Adjustments tab > Retouch > Clone) to paint in the object from the second part of the image to the first.
Set the source of the brush to the object you want to clone
Then brush the area in the first image where you want the object to appear.
Crop the resulting image, and there it is.
This only will work well, if the background has a similar color and texture in both images. Otherwise you will have to adjust the color of the background and do some smoothing before cloning. And you cannot scale what you want to clone, so any scaling has to be done, before you combine the two images in one.

Can you cut and paste multiple lines of text in adobe forms?

Hi -
I am working on cutting and pasting large amounts of information into adobe forms. When I presently cut and paste from Excel, it puts all of the data in one line rather than in separate choices in a multiple choice selection.
Is there a way to separate out this data so that from the excel sheet, each piece of data is separated into a different possible selection?
Thanks,
Laura M

That's not the way of transferring data from Excel to a PDF form. You should format the data in two rows, the first being the field names and the second being their values, and then import it via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data...

Can you copy and paste text in iPhone?

If you are sending text to someone, and then want to send it to someone else, the easiest way to do this on other smart phones is to copy and paste the text. This doesn't seem to be possible on the iPhone. Is it possible?
Thanks.

It has been said before - and many times: how deeply disappointing! And that Apple still hasn't come up with a software update to take care of this is even more disappointing. Get an address by email and try to put into the map widget . . . you have to write it down on paper. That's what we got iPhones for? It's the first time Apple has come up with a device that can do less than we'd expect.

Cut and Paste Text in iPhone Email - why can't it be done?!?!

Can anyone tell me why for such an incredible machine, you can't cut and paste text whatsoever in the iPhone applications? It should have been a very somple feature to add. Why in the world can't we do this? every other product in the world allows this for email as an example? Can I load a patch or have I just not found the way to do this?

it's not as simple as that.
they acquired fingerworks & all their multitouch patents in 2005. the recent patent for "thumb & 1 finger" & "thumb & 2 finger" includes cut & paste functions but was filed on january 3, 2007. it was just published on aug 2, last week. they won't release any new functionality to the iphone until the patents are issued, it has been tested in beta trials and their usual funtionality/implimentation/legal assessments.
read AAPL 10-Q for Q3-2007. it stipulates :
For ... the iPhone, the Company plans to provide future unspecified features and additional software products free of charge to customers.
say what features should be added, but don't childishly assume it's a low priority to apple. they introduced a new interface & functions that will be lacking in all the other smartphones - visual voicemail, google maps w/ realtime traffic indicator & multitouch. new functionality will be firmware or software updates. try adding a new button to your palm or blackberry.

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.

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.

Select, Copy and Paste text - the iPhone can't do that either???

Select, Copy and Paste text - the iPhone can't do that either??? OK, this is pretty lame...the iPhone does not allow you to select, copy or paste text in SMS, Notes, Safari or Mail. Is this just a oversight on the part of Apple?

Apple left out a LOT of basic functionality from the iPhone. I think they believe that the 'sexiness factor' will far outweigh the need for functionality in getting this phone to sell. For the most part they were right. Now that most of us have realized what this phone cannot do, and that the honeymoon is over (well, for the most part) I hope that Apple will do include some of that basic functionality in future updates. I also hope that the 3G phone is not the answer to this because that will leave out a lot of users who want these basic features but who dont really want 3G.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.
Jason Sjobeck

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).+

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.
