Cannot paste network name into join other network dialog

I have a 15" G4 Powerbook running Leopard. I often need to join closed networks by typing in their names and passwords into the join other network dialog box, but it never allows me to copy and paste the names or passwords. This can be very irritating for long network names and random passwords. Has anyone else experienced this?

I managed to change the name, but now, when I go into Airport Utility, the dot next to Airport express is blinking orange (Internet is green).
Next to the Network name is the number 2 on a red circle. What does this "2" mean?
The internet still works, though.
Light on Airport Express base station is green.
The status says: no DNS servers.

Cannot Paste Excel info into PDF files

We are an Accounting firm.
I need to past copied information from Excel into PDF files.
We have 35 users that use Adobe Standard 9.5.
We have one use that uses Adobe X Standard.
The 35 users can paste into a PDF file with no problems.
The 1 User of Adobe X Standard cannot.
Can someone please assist me is getting Adobe X Standard to allow a simple paste from Excel into the PDF.
Thanks.
Cepolly

I don't know if this will help, but I ran into this problem myself today. We had an upgrade, and no one could figure out why I couldn't paste my small Excel table into my pdfs, which I have done through 9 and now X Pro.
I compared my Preferences, and the problem was there.
In Edit/Preferences/Comments, all options should be checked in the first of three sections. Once I checked all of those options, I could paste into the pdfs again.
Hope this helps - actually hope you found the solution long before now.

Cannot paste html content into outgoing messages

Using Mail 3.2, I am no longer able to "paste as HTML" into an email message. I called AppleCare and spent 30 minutes on the phone with 2 people in the Phillipines but they were never able to understand my problem.
I am a political activist so do this alot: find something great on the web, copy and paste to an email that I send to a group of people. There should be live links, photos and the original formatting.
Instead, "paste as HTML" no longer shows up as an option under "Edit." I also tried using the appropriate keystrokes, ie, ^V plus apple key, but only got plain text in my outgoing message.
Since it still works on my MacMini, for now I am sending messages with HTML on the Mini, but it's a hassle.

are you using Safari to copy the html stuff? that's the only way Mail will understand it.
if yes, and it's still not working, try reinstalling the [Safari update|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/safari31 .html].

How can I paste the full path name into the find file dialog?

I've copied a full path name using CMD-C.
Now I click on a link in some web page (does not matter which one) which lets me upload a file.
The standard apple file selector dialog pops up (sorry don't know the official apple name for this dialog), to let me navigate and select the file.
How can I paste the file name? Or how can I tell the dialog popup to navigate to the file whose full path name is in the clipboard?

Here is an image showing the file browser dialog I'm referring to.

Is there a way to paste an URL into the file selection dialog box?

Hi,
I would like to share on Friendfeed.com images that I find on websites. On Windows, I click on "Add - photos" and I can paste the URL of the image directly into the dialogue box.
On my Mac 10.6.6, I can't find a way to do that: the dialog box only allows me to click on a file's name, I can't paste anything. So I have to save the image on my disk, and then upload it on Friendfeed.
It's not a big deal, but still more cumbersome.
Is there a way for me to avoid saving the image on my hard drive?
thanks for any help that will come this way

Thomas, you really need to relax I just asked a simple technical question: is X technically possible?
There were only two meaningful answers to that: yes and no.
But, no, you and others started to imply there were some dark issues of image copyright infringement, which - if I was not very relaxed myself - would be offending. You don't know what images I'm talking about, so why in the world did you start by assuming that I was infringing copyright?
(read again my previous answers to you, and you'll see I was not condoning infringement. I was simply saying it was not an issue here). Are you going around the web entering any discussion about how guns work, warning that killing people is a crime? What about knifes? Car forums and speed limits? (I could go on, as you can imagine).
But, since we're talking about copyright, you may want to lower your expectations about how "easily" you could sue me. The world - and its legal systems - is quite a different thing from the USA, you know.
Finally, about Friendfeed. Read again what I wrote (leaving aside all the copyright concerns that are distracting you ) and you'll see I mentioned that of course there's a "normal" way to enter the Url. It's just two different actions, with two different results. One of these actions is apparently not possible with a Mac. Too bad. As for Friendfeed being a crappy website: I see you're a web developer. I wish you to be as successful a developer as the people who created Friendfeed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Taylor). Some of its functionalities were years ahead of the competition, which is why they have been acquired by Facebook, and today - after more than a year with no development whatsoever - they still make for a very good social network. Go and have a look at it, you may learn a thing or two.
(I wrote finally, but I was wrong). One more thing: I couldn't resist, and I took a look at your webpage and resumé. I'm not going to write here what you did from "August 1997 to August 2007" (although it's public, so it shouldn't be a problem). But let me express my full appreciation for that! (I'm serious).
cheers!

Cannot paste formatted text.

I am using ID CS 3 on a Macbook Pro, running OS 10.6.2.
My problem is that I have text formatted italic and bold from Text Edit but I cannot paste the formatted text (or import it) into ID without losing all formatting. I went to this Discussion Forum and looked there first and the only fix I am finding is to make sure that preferences allow me to paste formatted text. In my ID preferences it is selected that when pasting text from the clipboard that all styles will be retained but this is not what happens. I can copy and paste the formatted text in TextEdit and can also create formatted text within ID and copy and paste that as well. But I cannot do this between the two programs.
Any suggestions?

What I am trying to place is an rtf text.
What I have done since posting this issue:
1. Restarted ID several time, restarted computer.
2. Logged in on another account, bypassing all logon items.
3. Disabled all added plugins, leaving just the Adobe and required plugins.
4. Started with a fresh ID document.
None of this has solved the problem, I simply CANNOT paste in formatted text.
Other suggestions?

Cannot see SSID nor can I use Join Other network with Graphite BaseStation

I got a hand me down Graphite Basestation. I can administer it via Ethernet, and I can get out on the Internet that way, but I can't join the Basestation wirelessly. None of my computers can see the SSID nor can I used the Join Other Network to join. Any idea why?
Thanks!

Correction - I mean Snow Basestation, not Graphite

Network Error []: Cannot Get Host Name when running business rules

Guru's
We are getting the following error intermittently when we are running business rules (Planning Application >>Tools>>Business Rules) or running SmartView refreshes:
Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name
The following is then logged in the Essbase Application logs:
Local/Application/Database/admin@Native Directory/Error(1042022)
Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name.
A quick look at the Essbase Error Messages Doc says it is a network error and we have to consult the network documentation. Unfortunately this is not very descriptive so we logged an SR with Oracle but we don't seem to be getting a resolution.
The environment is 11.1.2.0 and the architecture is as follows:
Server 1 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Planning, Calc Manager, Foundation Services, Framework Web Services, EAS, APS, Web Analysis, FR Web Services
Server 2 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Essbase Server
Server 3 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Framework Services, FR Print Services
We have tried doing the following:
1. Put in the server host names into the hosts file on the Hyperion Servers
2. Applied the following TCP/IP settings on all the Hyperion Servers and one of the user machines as a test:
      - Added a new DWORD Value named TcpTimedWaitDelay and set it to 30.
     - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxUserPort and set it to 65534.
     - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxFreeTcbs and set it to 6250
3. Confirmed that there are no packet drops by monitoring the server NICs so no packet loss could be the cause of this issue
4. The Essbase Config file has the following settings:
NETDELAY 2000
NETRETRYCOUNT 2500
Has anyone come across this issue and if you managed to resolve it, how did you go about it.
Thanx

Hi Rahul
The issue is happening to a number of calcs so it it not one calc specifically. I will ask the functional consultants to enhance the logging in the business rules so that we can see if the issue happens on a specific member\block etc and yes we do use Xrefs
We can run this as a calc in EAS without any issues and it's intermittent because this business rule runs 95% of the time in Planning Application >> Tools >>Business Rules without any issues.
Thanks

IBook G3 Cannot Detect Networks -- Other Computers Can

My boss's iBook G3 (dual-USB) cannot detect networks. Often the airport icon will not even load up in the menubar, and sometimes it loads, but shows no available networks. We are in a building with dozens of networks, but nothing shows up. Two other computers are accessing our network via Airport just fine. Any thoughts? This is driving us nuts! Any help would be much appreciated.
(By the way, this iBook has successfully connected to our network in the past. Yesterday and today it has just started misbehaving. Thanks again for your help.)

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply! The network settings have not been changed, so I don't think that it is an issue of b vs. g.
After leaving the iBook asleep for about an hour, I woke it and managed to get a signal (a few other available networks also showed up). Then I put it back to sleep for a few minutes to see if I would get a signal again. When I woke it up, the signal flashed from 4 bars to none, and the computer froze. Does this fact, and the fact that the Airport icon in the menu bar has been very, very slow to load (about 5 minutes) suggest that there is something wrong with the Airport software on the iBook?
Thanks for your help!

Cannot paste text from other application into a signed applet in JRE1.4.1

I have a signed applet. I just upgrade the JRE from 1.4.0 to JRE 1.4.1 (applet has been recompiled with JDK1.4.1). Then I tried to copy-paste text into a JTextArea from another application like Notepad. It doesn�t work. I can only copy-paste text from the applet itself. But this does work when I use JRE 1.40, 1.3.x.
Thank you for any help.

Thank you, Viravan.
http://168.103.84.58/pastetest/test.html
The link is a test applet. It has two JTextFields and a JButton. You can copy-paste text between the two JTextFields with Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. But you cannot copy-paste text between the applet and other application such as Notepad, MS Word. It seems that the applet don?t have enough permissions. But it does be signed. I also put a button on the applet and you can use it to browse your local files. That indicates the applet signed well. Fail to copy-paste between signed applet and other application only happen when using JRE 1.4.1. If you use JRE 1.4.0 or 1.3, it works fine.
The following if the test applet code:
package test;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
public class PasteTest extends JApplet {
boolean isStandalone = false;
JTextField txt1 = new JTextField();
JTextField txt2 = new JTextField();
JButton btnOpen = new JButton();
public PasteTest() {
public void init() {
try {
jbInit();
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
private void jbInit() throws Exception {
this.setSize(new Dimension(400,300));
btnOpen.setText("Select File");
btnOpen.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
btnSelectFile_actionPerformed(e);
txt1.setText("Test");
this.getContentPane().add(txt1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
this.getContentPane().add(txt2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
this.getContentPane().add(btnOpen, BorderLayout.EAST);
void btnSelectFile_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser("c:\\");
int state = chooser.showOpenDialog(this);
File f = chooser.getSelectedFile();
if(state == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION){
return;

Why can I sometimes paste text into a revision history dialog box and other times cannot?

Why can I sometimes paste copied text (from another VI's revision history, for instance or from anywhere else) into a revision history dialog box and other times cannot? All versions of LabVIEW! It's something like the control key becomes diabled. I've noticed the same thing when saving many VI's at once, some will let you paste into revision history and others will not. Aren't all VI's created equally when it comes to revision history? All versions of LabVIEW since 3 have plagued me with this problem.

Hello,
If you'd like to add text to the revision history of a VI, you can
paste into the Comment box and add all of your text at once. The
history itself can be read from this window, but cannot be directly
edited. The History field is read-only in the dialog box.
If you feel this should not be the case, your best course of action is
to express your desire for added functionality to our developers on the Product Feedback page of our website.

Cannot access network shares on AD domain

I've joined my mac to an AD domain (over vpn tunnel). I used the Directory Access app and when I did a "bind" to the domain all seemed to go well.
However when I try to access a network share using the "Connect to Server" menu item:
smb://server/share
I get this error:
The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in...could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
Ok I've tried googling this error message. Could someone tell me what this means? Could you point me to documentation on how to do what I'm doing?

Can you access the share while in the office?
Can you access the share by using the servers IP address instead of name?

K7N2 Delta2 :: Onboard NIC Once Flawless, Now cannot find Network

Hello, and thank you for reading my Support Query!
Heres the Deal. For the past Couple of Months, I've had little to no problems with my K7N2D2. Everything worked to my expectations.
Until Last Night, was online, and downloading some Bittorrent Files when all my connections suddenly drop'd from Maximum to Nothing.
First Thought : ADSL Dropped or Router Stalled... So, I Restart ze Modem, Restart the Hub. All their Flashes go Normally, and I wait a few moments for everything to Synch Up. Then Tried refreshing google.com .. to No Avail, its -instantly- reporting it cannot find the address, yadda yadda.
2nd Thought : Oh, maybe Verizon's Service was interrupted... But No, I walk into the other room, where my Bro's Comp is at, and the Net is Fully Functional and Online. [ He also has a K7N2-D2 MB.. The Comp which im typing at right now]
Weirdness : I Cannot Connect to the Routers IP Address. I Cannot even Connect to any other the computers on the Network. [ This all Used to Work Perfectly, Small Home Network of 3 Comps, With Lots of Read Only Shared Folders, for Music / Movies ]
Continued Wierdness : Everything in the Device Manager seems to Say everything is in perfect working Order, and I Can Ping Local Address [ 127.0.0.1 ] With No Problem. I Tried Pinging the Router, but it couldnt find Destination?
ipconfig/all Reports that, DHCP is Enabled, AutoConfig is Enabled, but it cant find the Gateway or DHCP Server.
What is going on? Did I Fry the NIC with too Many Torrents?
I Tried Hooking up a Old D-Link NIC Card I've had around for awhile, Not Sure why but it didnt want to Work.. Maybe cuzz its been sitting in storage for years.
Help is greatly appreciated, Is there anyway I Can run a diagnostic on the Onboard NIC? Yarr.

Hi all.
I'm new here, but have to write, coz I have exactly the same problem, like Nookovski.
I'm using my K7N2 D2platinum for more than 1 years, without any problem, using the onboard LAN for internet (connected to ADSL cable modem), and another Ethernet card for internal LAN.
2 days ago, I was playing network game with friends, when suddenly my connection was lost. I tried to reach homepages, but no avail. Try to ping some common addresses, nothing happens, 100% lost.
I rebooted, and saw, that my ip address for netconnection changed to 163... etc. This is weird, coz originally my ISP always give some 80... etc from DHCP.
I tried renew my ip, no success.
Called my ISP, they said, they can see my modem, but can't see my PC. I have to plug the cable to my another ethernet card for a moment - I did it, and they saw my pc in this case. They adviced to reinstall my onboard NIC driver. OK, perhaps later.
After all, I found an old Ethernet card (Realtek family) in my case, so I installed it. After a quick reboot my netconnection was fine through this new card. So no network problem on ISP side, there is something with my onboard LAN.
I tried to uninstall / remove the driver from hardware settings panel, but the window freezes. If I reboot in safe mode, and try to remove again, windows says : cannot remove, device is needed for operation. (or smth like this)
I tried reinstall LAN components from the latest MSI driverset, but nothing changed. I think it cannot overwrite the old (damaged?) files.
Now I'm using 2 PCI eth.card, one to connect with another PC, and one for internet. I disabled the onboard LAN from bios. But this is annoying, I don't understand what happend from one minute to another, and I would like to use my integrated NIC!
I found some posts here, advising to set the MAC address in bios manually, regarding to a sticker on the mobo, but I don't have such an option in BIOS.
What should I do now? Are there any solution?
Thanx!

HP Deskjet 3050a cannot find network printer

I need to find out what my IP address is for my printer. I may have changed it accidently when I was trying to set up my printer to a new router. I have reset the default settings. I have tried to go to HP file where it says I can change my IP address and I get the error "cannot find network printer". I have done all of the obvious deinstall, reinstall, added MAC address to router. Nothing will recognize my printer. Please help. Thank you

Hello again,
OK, thanks for the updated information. Try these steps...
Changing wireless settings
If you decide to change the wireless network settings for your wireless home network, you will need to configure your wireless printer with the new settings.
To configure the new wireless settings on a printer that features a Wireless Setup Wizard:
From the printer’s control panel, open the Wireless Settings menu. Many products provide access to the Wireless Settings by pressing the Wireless Button or touching the Wireless icon on the printer’s control panel. Consult the printer’s help documentation if you do not know how to access the Wireless Settings menu.
From the Wireless Settings menu select Wireless Setup Wizard. The Wireless Setup Wizard will guide you through the process of configuring your printer with the new wireless settings. Input your Wireless Network Name and Wireless Password when prompted.
You can print a Wireless Network Test report from the Wireless settings menu to confirm the printer was successfully connected to your network.
To configure your wireless settings on a printer that does not feature a Wireless Setup Wizard:
First, make sure your computer is connected to your network. You will also need a USB cable, which is temporarily used during the configuration. Be sure NOT to connect the USB cable between the computer and printer until instructed to do so by the software.
If your HP printer software is already installed on your computer Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Use Start -> Programs -> HP -> <your printer model> -> Printer Setup & Software. Windows 8:
Launch the Printer Software from the Start screen (icon for the printer model name) or from the tile named for your printer.
Select (click or touch) Utilities on the top of the Printer Software screen
Select Printer Setup & Software
Also,
Link below for some useful information on getting your printer back on the network........Good Luck!
