Cannot copy/paste between X11 and Aqua after 10.5.7 update

I'm stumped. After updating to 10.5.7 I am unable to cut/paste between xterm and Text Editor or any other Aqua-based app (email, browser, etc...). I can cut/paste between Aqua apps. And I can cut/paste between X11 apps, but X11 <-> Aqua just does not work. Commands pbpaste and pbcopy work great and are a temp fix, but I cannot work this way much longer. Going back to Linux is looking more and more attractive.
Thanks.

Put the image on a server and use the html code
Create another user account and see if X11 behaves normally in the new account. If it does, you know the problem must then reside in your own configuration settings.

ICal bug: cannot copy/paste into location field of exchange 2007 calendar

when you copy text from any application (cmd C) and then try to paste it into de location field of a new or existing appointment of a calendar synchronizing with an exchange 2007 account in iCal 4.0, then .... well nothing happens. You can paste it in a subject or a notes field but not in de location field.

My experience as well (hooked into google calendar), and a frustrating one. I assume this is related in some way to the "yellow exclamation point in edit mode - can only select entire block"? I see that normal "on my mac" calendar locations don't have the yellow exclamation point, and I can select any portion of the text. What's up with this? Is iCal suggesting that google's "Where" field is incompatible somehow? Yet there seems to be no trouble exchanging data between the two...

Trying to reset my password (which I have forgot) for elements 13 I have the serial no. But I can't find the right website to reset? I have "copy & paste " into the browser.

Go to the main page of adobe.com and sign out if you're already signed in there. Then click Sign In at the upper right of the page. In the next page you will see a Forgot Password link:

Copy & Paste into Dialer - Cannot Edit Number!

I am curious as to why the supposed enhancement to enabling you to paste a number into the Dialer app does not allow you to edit the number once pasted. I do a lot of international calls and people send out email invites (especially US based people) and they send the number as 1 xxx xxx xxxx, omitting the + from the start, which international caller require.
In previous versions of the OS you could select the number as a link and it would ask you if you wanted to call the number. I had hoped that the cut & paste ability would allow you to paste the number and then edit it to insert the + sign.
As this is not available I do not see what the excitement is with cut & paste in the Dialer app.
These little things make all the difference in usability!

Clearly Apple's developer beta testers did not do enough research on copy past into the dialer pad for INT'L capabilities
Since they're in so many countries...I'm sure this will be an update soon to follow...
Apple is "rumored" to read the forums for high level observation ONLY...meaning they may check to see that they have 250 posts on bad battery life after an update...but NEVER reply to the poster...
In a few articles I've read on Appleinsider.com it is said that some posters actually got emailed at the email they listed in their user profile to answer a follow up question Apple had...this I'm sure is very RARE though and probably would only happen if a specific step or user action needed to be understood to duplicate an error or issue...

Having purchased an itouch 4 and installed itunes 10.5 for my daughter i cannot copy films into itunes. even though ialways did with my itunes and her ipod. Any thoughts please?

Having purchased an itouch 4 and installed itunes 10.5 for my daughter on her laptop i now cannot copy films into movies on itunes. Even though I always did with my itunes and her ipod on my laptop.
Any thoughts please?

Have uninstalled then re-installed iTunes and it sees my iPhone but doesn't show the battery state.
I have rebooted my laptop and, guess what, iPhone is now NOTseen! Who designed this software, an idiot? Oh, I forgot Apple programmers don't know anything about Windows especially Windows 7. I still think this has to do with the differing formats as if there are pictures on the iPhone, Windows sees it as a camera and it is possible to see the pictures in Explorer, so these must be stored in FAT format. Maybe someone needs to design the phone to tell Windows that it's a phone and tells Windows to load the correct drivers. Maybe that's too difficult!

Find and Replace HS5.5

How do I include a line feed in the replace section of the

end of the paragraph.
I can 'find' and eliminate the " ¶ " symbol from each

this symbol.

Can anyone clue me in?
Thanks, gil d

as far as special chars in simple F-and-R, I replace some
non-ascii chars by copying from a doc and pasting into the dialog
field.
That wouldn't work for CR/LF, so you have to use the extended
search and replace there as you found out.
Note there is also a function for "Replace Double Spacing
with Single Spacing" (on the menu, under Search).
Probably no help for this case, but good to know.
BTW, be careful with your extended search and replace on
CR/LF. If your lines don't end in a space and a CR/LF, you might
want to replace CR/LFs with a space. Otherwise the last word of one
line might be butted against the first word in the next line with
no space when the CR/LF is removed.
Of course that's not a great solution since it adds a lot of
spaces where you have CR/LFs, and you may not want them all
there...
There is a Remove Returns script that might be of use to you.
It's a lot more manual than you probably want for doing lots of
files.

Superscripts in Find and Replace

How can I enter superscripted text in the Replace box of the Find and Replace dialog without losing the superscript formatting when it pastes?
Thanks.
Dennis

Thank you for the reply, Arnis. I don't find that option in my Find/Replace dialog. I've tried copying the superscripted text to the clipboard and pasting in the Replace box of the Find and Replace dialog, but it loses the superscripting, and pastes into the document without it. I find I have to go into each occurrence individually and superscript each one. I'm using Illustrator CS5....and I just realized I'm on the wrong forum. Never mind.........

Find and replace an item in one column only

I have tried and tried and I cannot work out how to find and replace an item in one column only.
For example one column has a letter followed by a number which varies in length.
I want to find and repace the letters with nothing leaving the numbers only.
But when I try to do this all the letters in the spreadheet are replaced, not just in the column I have selected.
Help please....

Hi 8'
Use a formula.
Insert a (temporary) auxiliary column to the right of the one for which you want to male the changes.
Assuming you description is accurate—every entry in the column consists of a letter followed immediately by a number of one or more digits—the problen could also be stated as "How do I strip the first character from a string?"
Here's a sample. Letter followed by number in column B; number part without leading letter i column C:
Formula:
C2, and filled down to end of column: =RIGHT(B,LEN(B)-1)
When the formula has done its work:
Select all of column C (except the ehader row cell), and Copy.
Select cell B2, and go Edit > Paste Values.
Select column C again and go Table (menu) > Delete column.

Barry

How to use Find and Replace for CR or TAB

How can I use PAGES 'Find and Replace' function to eliminate unwanted carriage returns or Tabs?
I tried to copy the backwards P and paste into Pages find window, but that doesn't work.

Copying & pasting should work, but it isn't necessary. In the Find & Replace fields hold down the Option key & hit the return or tab key.

Find and Replace Lines

I am running ID CS2. I have a document with several hundred lines, all the same size and justified left. I would like to do a find and replace and have the same lines replaced but centered. Every time I copy a centered line and do a replace, it replaces but not centered. Is there a way to do this?

However, Find/Change SHOULD be able to handle this. Make sure that you've pressed the "more options" button to show the formatting options.
Paste enough of the text into the find field to be sure it finds the right thing, then open the "find" format dialog and select the current alignment (remember, left aligned is not the same as left justified, which is justified text up to the last line, and then left align the last line). Leave the change field blank, and enter the new alignment option in the change options dialog.
If you haven't already set up styles, this would be a good time to do it. You can use Find/change to apply the style instead of just changing the alignment.

Dumb Q: problem with Find And Replace window in Flash 8

Dear Flash Group,
apologies if this is trivial, it's my first day using Flash.
I downloaded a Flash project from
http://www.flashorb.com/articles/benchmark_files/flash-benchmark.zip.
This
flash calls into a web service at localhost:8080. I used the
'Find and
Replace' window within Flash Professional 8 to locate the
string
'localhost:8080' and replaced it with plain 'localhost'.
However, when I 'Debug the Movie' (Ctrl-Shift-Enter), it
still tries to
access port 8080! Obsiously, my replace command did not do
what I thought it
would do. I opened the FLA file in a binary editor, and saw 4
more
references to 8080, One if them in 'Properties' of a
WebServicesConnector,
but I cannot figure out how to find the other occurences.
Checking on google, I see lots of people having similar
problems, but no
solutions
Any ideas?
Regards, /george
PS. What do you guys do for code completion - is there a tool
that would
bring Flash on par with an professional IDE?

Agreed.

Might they be the result of that WebServicesConnector
reference?
> Checking on google, I see lots of people having

That's really odd, actually. I'm on these boards every day,
and I've
never heard of this issue. I don't *think* the Find/Replace
dialog visits
panel contents, such as the Component Inspector panel, but I
wouldn't swear
to that.
> What do you guys do for code completion - is there
> a tool that would bring Flash on par with an

Well, Flash is a professional IDE, of course. By definition,
if you pay
for something, you have acquired a professional product or
service. I know
what you mean, though. Flash itself rocks, but the Actions
panel can be
glaringly weak. Personally, I use SE|PY to edit ActionScript.

Folder action to find and replace text and change line feeds

I want to use a folder action to find and replace text and change Mac carriage returns to DOS line feeds inside text files.
The text to be replaced is: "/Users/wim/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Music" (without the quotes)
This text has to be removed (i.e. replaced by an empty string)
The text occurs many times within each file.
The files are playlists exported from iTunes in the M3U format (which are text files). They contain Mac carriage returns. These need to be changed to DOS line feeds.
I have found the following two perl commands to achieve this:
To find and replace text: perl -pi -w -e 's/THIS/THAT/g;' *.txt
To change carriage returns to line feeds: perl -i -pe 's/\015/\015\012/g' mac-file
I know that it's possible to make a folder action with Automator that executes a shell script.
What I want to do is drop the exported playlists in M3U format in a folder so that the folder action will remove the right text and change the carriage returns.
My questions are:
Is it possible to make a folder action that executes command line commands instead of shell scripts?
What is the correct syntax for the two commands when used in a folder action shell script? Especially, how do I escape the slashes (/) in the string to be removed?
Thanks for your help

Ok, I've include an applescript to run a shell command. The applesript command quoted form makes a string that will end up as a single string on the bash command line. Depending on what you want to do, you may need multiple string on the bash command lines. I've included some information on folder actions.
It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on. Here is an example.
    Author: rccharles
    For testing, run in the Script Editor.
      1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
      2) Click on Run
    For running shell commands see:
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html
on run
    -- Write a message into the event log.
    log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
    -- debug lines
    set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
    log "desktopPath = " & desktopPath
    set unixDesktopPath to POSIX path of desktopPath
    log "unixDesktopPath = " & unixDesktopPath
    set quotedUnixDesktopPath to quoted form of unixDesktopPath
    log "quoted form is " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
    try
        set fromUnix to do shell script "ls -l " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
        display dialog "ls -l of " & quotedUnixDesktopPath & return & fromUnix
    on error errMsg
        log "ls -l error..." & errMsg
    end try
end run
How to set up a folder action.
1) right click on folder. click on Enable folder actions
2) Place script in
/Library/Scripts/Folder Actions Scripts
3) right click on folder. click on attach folder action
pick your script.
Create a new folder on the desktop & try.
You can put multiple folder actions on a folder. There are other ways of doing this.
Here is my test script:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving dropped_items
    repeat with dropped_item_ref in dropped_items
       display dialog "dropped files is " & dropped_item_ref & " on folder " & this_folder
    end repeat
end adding folder items to
How to make the text into an AppleScript program.
Start the AppleScript Editor
/Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app
In Snow Leopard it's at: /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor
Copy the script text to the Applescript editor.
Note: The ¬ is typed as option+return. ption+return is the Applescript line continuation characters.
You may need to retype these characters.
Save the text to a file as an script and do not check any of the boxes below.
