Cant COPY in preview......
recently upgraded to 10.6.2, and i look at images mostly in preview. I use this all the time for copying and pasting when working in other apps and have never had a problem. Now when trying to copy anything, from a jpg i took, or something from photoshop, iphoto, or any other app, the copy option is grayed out. Checked permissions, i have read/write access to everything i am referring to. I get the basso sound every time.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
thanks in advance!!
Try locating and deleting this preference/plist file:
~(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preview.plist
As well, see if there is a difference between an older jpeg that was already on your computer before SL, and a fresh one that has just been created.
That said, the Snow Leopard version of Preview is not the same animal that shipped with previous OSs. If something is critical to your workflow, you may want to look for another tool such as Acrobat or perhaps Safari.

I cant copy photos out of iphoto (event), I can copy them but if I want to paste them in another folder on my macbook or nas hdd, I dont have the option "paste" If I select some of the pic's it sometimes works.I also tried with export them but didnt work either.
I used to load them into iphoto manged them and then simly copied them and saved them on my nas and/or my macbook's hdd in a folder, but now it wont work. I have now thousents of photo i cant copy, its a mess....
it might be a problem with an update as I had also a mess with my music after updating to the latest itunes.
has anybody an idea how to fix this??That warning sign comes up when iPhoto has broken the link/file path to the original photos. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I have the latest Mac Air 13" and I have a Seagate 500MB external hard disk I cant copy or Cut any files on the hard disk and I cant even delete any files. I have the settings as Read and Write in the get info tab. Please helpand also note that my hard drive was formatted on a Windows 7 Laptop.
thats the problem, its in MSDos (Fat) or NTFS for Windows.
Options.....
1. offload all that data on the HD onto your PC, THEN format the HD in EXFAT for use on BOTH PC and Mac for read/write.....then reload all (or as you need) that data back onto the HD
2. get another HD, and format it for Mac OSX extended journaled.
FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
Maximum file size: 4GB.
Maximum volume size: 2TB
You can use this format if you share the drive between Mac OS X and Windows computers and have no files larger than 4GB.
NTFS (Windows NT File System)
Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
Maximum file size: 16 TB
Maximum volume size: 256TB
You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
HFS+ ((((MAC FORMAT))) (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
Maximum file size: 8EiB
Maximum volume size: 8EiB
You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
EXFAT (FAT64) ------Can read/write from both PC and Mac
Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
Not all Windows versions support exFAT.
exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
Maximum file size: 16 EiB
Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive. See "disadvantages" for details. -
Copying in Preview causes app to crash
All of a sudden copying in Preview causes the app to hang briefly then exit. Anyone else having this problem and any ideas on a workaround for copying .pdf text?
It depends on how the exe deals with the arguments. Some do honor escape characters, some not.....
Afaik, there is no difference regarding the System Exec in development environment vs. exe. But it is possible, that these are executed using different user rights?

Cant copy a playlist to ipod (classic & others) from latest Itunes 11.0.1.12 Windows XP
Draging and dropping a playlist or even a song from a playlist doesn't bring up the RHS 'transfer Window'
Everything else (eg. songs, albums, even radio) all bring up the window - obviously you copy a radio station but it does, at least, bring up the window pane
Any ideas?
Many Thanks.
Alex.
Additional :
Both Ipods set to "Manually Manage Music". Tried resetting Smaller one.
I can happily transfer a song, an album, even an entire Genre, but nothing Playlist related.You can get the files off the iPod back onto your PC.

Howcome I cant copy a 12 GB movie from my desktop to my external. my external is fomatted as MS-DOS (FAT32)
because the MAX limit is 6gig on that formatting.
if the drive is BLANK or you have another drive, format it in Mac OSX extended journaled and that will remove the SIZE block. -

Just got my Mac air and i would like to make a file to store some web addresses for my new business with rodan and fields and I can't do it. Made the file but i cant copy and paste the web addresses in the file to save them. Please help and thank you.
Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine. You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby) -

I have a tolino vision 2 and cant copy the e-books from my pc to the tolino. I have the same adobe ID for the tolino and for the PC. I get the message I'm not authoriesed to copy, and/ or my adobe ID does not fit/match to the one at my PC. What can do? Can someone answer in German?
I suspect you will want to ask your question at the forum for Adobe Digital Editions which is eBook, eBook reader device focused.

Just wondering whether this a bug or not.
ThanksI use the vodafone360.com mail service, but there doesnt appear to be anything wrong with the site, as IE can access and delete normally.

I have downloaded Games with iTunes to my PC, but I cant copy it to my iPad... It told me to authorize my computer, I have done so over and over again, but still cant copy and the message to authorize this PC keeps appearing..... Whats wrong?
This forum is for questions about Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Mac systems, and hence not the best place for your question. I'd suggest asking in the iTunes for Windows forum.
Note, however, that iTunes has never been supported on the 64-bit version of Windows XP, so you're on your own to attempt to get it working.

I went to amazon.com and tried to copy some of the images for the Zire 72 and paste it into an email message, but everytime it copied the image address. I set it to copy the image, and not the image address, but when I pasted into the email body, I saw the address. And no I do not currently and never plan to use Apple mail.
I had the same problem with FireFox(which cant copy images to the clipboard anyways). To fix the problem I had to use classic Internet explorer. What a hassle.
JohnHi John!
I'm not sure which images you are trying to C & P from Amazon.com, but, using Safari, I was able to copy the image found HERE, and paste it into an AOL eMail document. It was then successfully sent, and when opened, the image appeared in the body of the mail.
Maybe I'm not quite understanding what you're trying to do.
Position the cursor on the image.
Press the "Control" key and hold the mouse down.
Select "Copy Image to Clipboard".
Open a new AOL eMail document.
Click in the message area of the document.
Select "Paste" from the "Edit" menu, or "Command Key + V Key.
Your will be presented with a resizing option. Click Yes or No.
Address your eMail and send!
Good Luck!
