"Command-X Cut" doesn't work

I can't move item in Finder with shortcut key. Anyone knows how?

Yes, I fond that!
Use command-c, then use command-option-v to paste. It would make a move

Command-X (cut) doesn't work in finder

If I use "Finder" and I want to "cut" a file the shortcut (command X) doesn't work and in the menu(edit) "cut" is grey.
I can only use drag&drop... in "textedit" it's possible to "cut" words!
What's going wrong?
Please help!
regards
soho

The original idea behind the Macintosh clipboard in 1984 was to allow for temporary cut/copy/paste actions inside applications for text and images. In Windows, cut/copy/paste was supported in the OS for actual files on disk, which really doesn't fit into the concept, but unfortunately became a very popular shortcut.
In OS X, Apple decided to add support for copy/paste for files. Cut was not added. If you cut something (like text), and then cut/copy again, you lose your original cut. Similarly, to avoid a possible mistake where cut could permanently destroy a file, it is not supported in the OS X Finder.
For most seasoned Mac users this isn't an issue, but for switchers from Windows it does seem a bit confusing. If you want to "cut" a file you really should just move it using drag&drop.

Voice command for Contacts doesn't work after a re...

Voice command for Contacts doesn't work after a reboot or a contacts restore.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Backup contacts. Open Files > Backup & Restore > Select Contact for Backup Contents and select Back up now.
2. Edit/save a contact, press and hold the call button, speak contacts name. The voice recognition works fine.
3. Restore contacts. Open Files > Backup & Restore > Select Contact for Backup Contents and select Restore.
4. Reboot phone when prompted.
5. Press and hold the call button, speak contacts name. The voice recognition does not work.
Work around:
Edit and save each contact.
Additional Information:
Social integration with contacts also does not work after a reboot. The facebook icon and "See what xxx is up to on Facebook" is not displayed. The same work around "Edit and save each contact" also applies. This occurs using the Nokia N8 and Nokia 808 Pureview.

I have my phone paired with my car, I can do everything except it does not recognize any of my contact names. If I try say a contact name, it says "not recognized" but if I say the contacts phone number, the name pops up onthe display in my car.
Has anyone had this issue, is there a setting I am missing in my phone?
Hello,
This is not necessarily and issue with the phone. It could also be an issue with the car`s bluetooth software that is only limited to some functions like reading your contacts list, last calls, missed calls, etc. which is most likely the basic 2.0 version.
The Z30 has the 4.0 version that has a lot more communication capability but if the car`s bluetooth its a lower version, then you will not be able to take full advantage of it unless you upgrade the bluetooth software in your car. Call your dealer and inquire about the bluetooth software upgrade in your car

Command+1 shortcut doesn't work in iTunes 7?

During the years of having iTunes 5 & 6, I used to have those keyboard shortcuts like command+1, command+2 to show the main window of iTunes and Equalizer. This function is really helpful when you choose one song to play, then close the iTunes window to save the space on desktop, then use command+1 to show the main window of iTunes again when you need it. Really convenient.
But since I updated the iTunes 7 yesterday, I sadly found out that the key stroke combination of command+1 doesn't work anymore. Now every time when you need the iTunes window to show up, you have to click the iTunes 7 icon on the dock again. And same as the command+2 for equalizer. Since iTunes 7 erased the equalizer icon on the main pane in the corner right below, this is really not so fast as before to get those windows showed when you need them.
This issue is really unlikely to happen because I checked the new help topics of iTunes 7, there still are the entries of command+1/2 in the help topics, but they just do not work!!! Is that a new bug of iTunes 7?
Anyone has any idea about solving this problem? Or did anyone found the new keyboard shortcuts? Thanks in advance!!!

How do I fix a command key that doesn't work?

I bought a new iMac in December with the keyboard that comes with the system. Now my command key doesn't work. I've tried reseting to defaults in case I did something without realizing it, but it hasn't worked. The really strange thing is that it started working again once, then a few days later stopped again. Any one know what my problrem might be? It could be the keyboard itself, but if so, I'll be very disappointed!

Do SMC reset, in order for it to work it make take 2-3 attempts. You can find instructions by clicking Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

Find Command in iCal doesn't work

I have tried to use the Find Command in iCal. It doesn't work either from the Edit pull down command nor the keyboard command. Please try this in your setup and tell me whether it works?
I have an Intel Mac Mini running 10.4.9.

Hi Bob,
It works for me.
Find will only search in selected calendars. Do you have the relevant calendars checked in the calendar list? (you can select all calendars by Command-Clicking one checkbox)

Executing command on startup doesn't work

Hello,
I'm trying to execute this script when X starts:
xmodmap -e " keycode 118 = Delete"
which works, when is executed manually from console. I tried to run it automaticaly after login and starting X by putting it into .zprofile, /etc/profile, /etc/profile.d/***, .xinit or to my awesome wm config (all other scripts here are executed normally - eg pulseaudio --start). But this command is never executed. I tried even variant with adding this to .Xmodmap and then add xmodmap .Xmodmap to .xinit, but without success.
Thanks

Here is how my .xinitrc looks like:

exec awesome
When I manually type this command, everything works. But it doesn't work after reboot (and .xinitrc is surely executed, because awesome starts ok).
xmodmap seems to be time sensible. Anyhow, on my WM startup file I have:
(sleep 10; xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap; sleep 5; xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap) &
I come to this by trial and error.
Has said I have it on my WM startup file, but having it on .xinitrc is also OK.

Specifying resources in WCAP command "storeevents.wcap" doesn't work

Hi all. I tried to add an event with a WCAP command like this :
http://calendarserver/storeevents.wcap?id=XXXX&calid=XXXX&dtstart=XXXX&dtend=XXXX&summary=XXXX&resources=RESOURCE_CALID&fmt-out=text/xml
The event is stored correctly but not the resource i want associate to it. I also tried "inviting" the ressource as an attendee (&attendees=RESOURCE_CALID) but i want the RSVP set to true, so this doesn't work for me either.

My MacBook is frozen and Command/Option/Escape doesn't work. What do you suggest I do? Any suggestions?

My MacBoook is frozen and Command/Option?escapedoesn't work. I tried turning it off manually, but that doesn't work either. What doyou suggest?

Any external BT keybaord or mouse that can be turned off and break a cycle in that interface? Any external USB device or external monitor that can break a locked-loop on those dvices?
Holding the power button for 10 seconds (maybe more) should hard-stop all (even background) processes. Can leave the system unbottable if stopped at wrong point, so is a last resort.

Command + T shortcut doesn't work on Mac

Using Firefox 5.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. The Command + T shortcut for opening a new tab doesn't work. I didn't try all the keyboard shortcuts, but among those ones I frequently use this is the only shortcut that doesn't work.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your replies. However I think each of them misses the point. I realize that I should have given ( even ) more information, so sorry about that. I will try and do that here.
It's about a link to a website like www.website.com ( is a fake name for example purposes!! ). It has worked on both my PC and laptop!! Somewhere along the way ( cannot quite remember when ) there was an update of some kind on my laptop, that apparantly hasn't occured on my PC ( yet ), that has caused the link to 'break'. Therefore I suspect it's a setting matter of some kind, but cannot figure out which one and where to (re)set. Also because the problem stays when I try to delete and recreate the link, also by dragging it from the website to the desktop.
Hope this addition give you sufficient information. If not, don't hesitate to ask further questions.
Thanks in advance.

Command I/B doesn't work

If I am starting text on a new line, and use the Command+I (Italics) or Command+B (bold) or Command+U (underline) shortcut on my keyboard, it does not register the command. Additionally, clicking on the same options in the toolbar does not work either. It only works when midsentence, or when text is selected...any fix for this? It always worked in the older Pages...

Find Command sometimes just doesn't work

Sometimes when I type into the input field in the Find function, nothing at all happens after I press Enter.
If I exit Lightroom, then restart it, the Find function will work OK.
I am running the Windows version 1.0 on a 3.01 Pentium 4, Win XP, which runs PS CS3 OK.

Jar command jar -uf doesn't work on Vista

I try to use the jar command jar -uf to add information from a JAR into another. This works fine on XP, but not on Vista.
I use the same commands and the same files on Vista and XP, but I get this error message on Vista:
java.io.IOExeption: An error occured when writing to the JAR file
Why does this happen? How can I make the jar command jar -uf work on Vista?

I don't use Vista however it could be related to a [Vista file permission problem|http://paulstamatiou.com/2007/02/09/how-to-quickie-vista-permissions].

Why wont Siri understand anything I am saying? The voice command in texting doesn't work either... Even if I just say no it doesn't work.

I'm using a 4s

Having the same issue. Microphone seems to work on a phone call perfectly fine. Called multiple people to make sure it wasnt a microphone issue. Even called my phone from my google voice number, just to speak into the microphone and see how clear it was, and it was crystal clear..... what now?

Final Cut doesn't work with Yosemite!!?

Hi there, anyone who could help me with this problem would be greatly praised, as I am really inexperienced with tech and stuff because I'm only 15 and I made maybe a not-so-great decision
So, I bought a 2010 iMac off craigslist which had FCPX on it already (Final Cut is the software I use most often), and I had it on Mountain Lion, and it ran perfectly. However, I decided to upgrade to Yosemite, and now Final Cut has a line through it and when I click on it a message says "You can’t use this version of the application “Final Cut Pro” with this version of OS X" and there's no "update" button, only a button that says I have to buy it again (but I already bought it!!)
I emailed the person I bought it from asking for her Apple ID so I could look through the purchases and click "Install" or "Update" or whatever it says beside the FCPX button, but under Purchases I didn't find it, and when I emailed her back she said "Oh, I'm pretty sure when I bought it Final Cut Pro came installed on it already so I didn't have to use my Apple ID to buy it". So evidently I got it from her, in turn she got it from the one person who bought it, but I don't have this person's Apple ID so I can update it.
I'm really sorry if this does't make any sense, but I'm at my wits' end because I don't want to pay $300 for another copy of Final Cut! Maybe there is some way I can upgrade it, or failing that would it be possible to retain all my files yet downgrade back to Mountain Lion?
Any, I repeat ANY help would be appreciated!!

THe FCP license is not transferable. I cannot legally be sd on Craigslist or anywhere but from Apple through the App Store.
DOwnding grading the OS is difficult. First you need a back up of your existing drive that has the user informatiion. You then need another computer or drive that has Mountain Lion installed that you can boot from together with a ML installer. You can then boot off the drive, erase your Yosemite drive, and reinstall Mountain Lion.
