Copy and paste a file path?

How do i copy and paste a file path?
Thanks

I assume there's probably a utility in macupdate.com that could probably do that.  A quick search on macupdate for "copy path" found a bunch.
Alternatively you could create an automater service (finder contextual menu) to do it.
Or just drag the finder item into the terminal window.  The path will appear and you can copy/paste that.

    Hi BobRz
    Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

    hi i can't seem to copy and paste pdf files from preview to a microsoft word document. it always comes up with nonsense characters in the word document. how do i fix this? thanks in advance

    Hi,
    The quickest way to do this (tested with OS 10.8.2, MS Word 2011) is in one line:
    tell application "Microsoft Word" to close every document whose name begins with "book"
    The reason why your script doesn't work is that you aren't specifying to Word which document you want it to close.
    So, changing one line ought to do it:
    close document incrementvalue -- instead of "close document"
    But... when you close a document, you change the document count. Document 2 becomes document 1, document 3 becomes document 2 etc. So eventually you'd get a message saying "The object you are trying to access doesn't exist".
    Because of this, if you want to do it in a repeat loop, you have to work backwards:
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
      set doc_count to count documents
      repeat with x from doc_count to 1 by -1
      if name of document x begins with "book" then close document x
      end repeat
    end tell
    Hope this helps.

    I know how to copy and paste a file but I want to select all files and copy it to a folder I don't want to select one at time help

    Your best friend to do all this is to use file manager.. Open up file manager app, Just go into the device or SD card, select the folder or files, then it will give you the option to copy, move , zip share , rename etc..

    Hi jdavis33811,
    Have you tried all three methods of cutting and pasting? Using the keyboard shortcuts CRTL-X and CTRL-V, right click the file and selecting cut and then using the file explorer ribbon / File menu.
    If you have tried all three the next thing to try is a Clean Boot to see if something is in the background blocking the command. A clean boot loads Windows with minimal software and drivers. This Microsoft Support link will show you how to do it.
    Once you have performed the clean boot try all three methods of cutting and pasting. If it works the next step is going back to msconfig (see Microsoft link above) and enable half of the services you shutoff to do the Clean Boot. Then try cutting and pasting again. Keep enabling half of the remaining services until you can't cut and paste then disable half of the services you just enabled. Do this until you pinpoint what service caused the issue.
    If after all that you are still having a problem then the next step would backing up your files onto an external hard drive or USB flash drive and then doing a full System Recovery.

  • How do i copy and paste photo files

    I have only recently become an iMac user and can't find a way to copy and paste photos which in turn is giving me lots more folders than I want.
    Is there a 'dummies' way of learning?
    Thanks

    I have worked it out!  WooHoo!!
    I was trying to copy and paste 4 photos at a time from one folder to another but instead of going from folder to folder, I was actually going from folder to individual photos column.  Probably doesn't make sense to you, but it's all good now.
    thank you for your help

  • How can I copy and paste images' file?

    I need to duplicate images' files (.jpeg or .gif) from a directory to another one.
    How can I do?
    Is there any method to do that?(with jdk1.3.1)
    Thanks for your help.

    The following class copies files. Just call "java FileCopier file1 file2". FileInputStream and FileOutputStream also accept File instances instead of Strings, which will help when you work with different directories.
    // file: FileCopier.java
    import java.io.*;
    public class FileCopier {
      private String fileIn, fileOut;
      private int buffersize = 32768;
      public FileCopier(String fileIn, String fileOut) {
        this.fileIn = fileIn;
        this.fileOut = fileOut;
      public void copy() throws IOException {
        FileInputStream reader = new FileInputStream(fileIn);
        FileOutputStream writer = new FileOutputStream(fileOut);
        byte[] buffer = new byte[buffersize];
        int read;
        while( (read = reader.read(buffer, 0, buffersize)) > 0 ) {
          writer.write(buffer, 0, read);
        writer.flush();
      public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
        FileCopier copier = new FileCopier(args[0], args[1]);
        copier.copy();
    }

  • Hey, newbie here. I'm trying to copy and paste a file which has text.

    I need to make a seperate sheet of labels of this file but it won't paste the text, only the background. What am I doing wrong?

    Are you sure the text is selected, might be a locked object or layer. Use the technique below as a test. Hide is a good friend in Illustrator, even after you become comfortable with the interface.
    Select >> all
    object >> hide >> selection
    object >> show all
    The other major reason this may be happening is you may have pasted the text, but that is somewhere off the screen. Zoom out and do a select all to see if you can find the text.

  • How can i copy and past music files, Images and Videos to my Apple Iphone?

    I have a new Iphone 4 mobile phone. Any one can  help me  for how can i stote music,videos and images files in My Iphone?
    When i search on internet i saw icloud and itunes. Is there any net connection requered to use icloud or itunes? Without net connect how can i store my files in my apple phone?

    Prabakhar,
    First, please verify that you mean CDDA and not CDA.  CDA is not an audio format.
    CDDA is pretty much the "raw" format of an audio CD.  It is extremely unusual to have it as a separate file.  If you still have the original CD that it came from, re-rip the CD using this document.  (Edit added.  I meant to add the link to this document:  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12486  )
    Otherwise, a web search will turn up converters that can process a CDDA file, although I have not used them.

  • HT4910 Is there a way to automatically backup iCloud documents, without having to manually copy and paste the files into a separate folder?

    I'm using MindNode Pro on OS X Mountain Lion, which saves documents to iCloud in a similar fashion to any of the iWork apps. I previously synced with Dropbox, which was automatically backed up with TimeMachine. Is there a way to do the same with iCloud?
    Thanks

    iCloud documents are backed up in Time Machine.

  • Can't Copy and Paste in Finder

    Hello,
    I have the latest Mountain Lion release on a 2009 iMac.
    I have recently encountered a problem that keeps bugging me. It's impossible for me to copy and paste a file in Finder. alt+Dragging will work, but CMD+C followed by CMD+V or going through the menus will not work.
    Pressing CMD+C or going through the EDIT menu and selecting Copy seems to work, but Pasting isn't possible.
    Does anyone have any idea as to how I can solve this?
    Thank you,

    I have neither of these apps installed.
    After trying in safe mode, it appears that these commands do work! So if I understand well I must look through all the apps that launch when I login so I can pinpoint which one is causing the trouble?
    That's pretty much it. Do you know of any other program you've installed that would modify the Finder?

  • When I copy and paste an image from Word for usage in a Framemaker document it becomes blurred.

    Hi,
    I am saving graphics from Word for usage in a Framemaker document. When I copy and paste the file into photoshop it becomes blurred and unusable. How do I resolve this? I have tried saving the file in it's highest resolution but that doesn't work either.
    Thanks,
    Niall.

    The problem has to be the image itself, but then you give us zero information.
    We don't even know what platform you are on, Macintosh or Windows, what exact version of the OS, of Photoshop, or Word you are using, how you are getting what kind of image from Word, etc.
    It could be that you're just copying the low resolution thumbnail preview from MS Word, but we know nothing about its dimensions, resolution or format.

  • (CS4) Copy and paste video/sound into another project, sound won't export

    Hello Adobe community
    I am working on a TV show for a community television network in Australia.  I created the opening credits in a seperate project to the edited footage of the show, because my computer is struggling with the size of all the files. So I have two project files. Recently I copied and pasted the edited footage of the show into the project where I have the opening credits (by highlighting all the footage, right clicking and going to copy, then opening the Project with the credits sequence, right clicking and selecting paste). This seems to work. I can hear the sound and continue tweaking and editing. However, when I  export the project, the sound from the footage I have copied into the project can't be heard. I can hear the sound from the credit sequence, but not the sound that has been copied into the project (although on the timeline of the project, I can hear the sound... This problem only presents itself after export).
    I have tried doing the opposite... Copying and pasting the opening credit sequence into the project with the edited footage, and I get the same problem. It doesn't seem to matter which file type I export as. I have tried .AVI and .MPEG2, with the same results.
    I am using Windows 7 64bit version, and Premiere CS4. I have a mixture of .MTS, .WAV and .MP3 audio files in the footage that I copy and paste across. None of them are exporting.
    I have tried moving the copied and pasted audio files on to the same audio tracks as the sound already in the project, but this doesn't work either. The original sound will export, then when it gets to the copied and pasted sound nothing can be heard.
    I have included some screen shots to illustrate the problem below. If you have any questions please let me know.
    Thanks for your time! I have a looming deadline so your help is much appreciated.
    -Robert

    Thanks for your replies everyone. Sounds like cut and paste is not an option. Wow, I didn't realise how much trouble I'd be causing for myself by having different parts of the show in different projects.
    I am reluctant to export the project then import it into another project, because I do not want to lose quality through compression as Ann suggests.I don't know what you  mean, Ann, when you say "Dont think CS4 could import single sequence (forgot)."? Jim, I'm also unsure what you mean when you say "That's what UT is for"?
    However, I went to File/Import/Import Entire Project, and imported the project this way. Then I dragged the little folder icon that appeared in the top left hand corner of the screen onto the timeline. However, when I did this, a few problems occured. Firstly, the original project had footage and audio on many different tracks, but when I imported the project nearly all of the video and audio was on to the one track. Secondly, instead of going for 10 minutes, the imported footage went for a few hours. Thirdly, the sound and images were all out of sync. I have included two images to illustrate this problem:
    Above is the original project. As you can see, I have audio and video on many different tracks, and lots of cuts.
    This is what the project looked like after I had imported it into another project. Nearly everything is on one track, the footage goes for a few hours now (instead of 10 minutes) and the video and sound are all out of sink.
    Then I tried File/Import/Import Selected Sequence. The only sequence I had the option of importing was Sequence 1. I did this, then dragged the folder icon onto the timeline, and I had a similar problem to before. Everything on one track, footage out of sync and going for a few hours.
    Is there a way to import a project and maintain all of the editing (the cuts, the multiple tracks, etc.) as they are in the original? I have spent many hours editing both the footage and the opening credits, so I really don't want to lose all this work when I import one into the other. The good thing about copy and paste is that it maintains all of the original cuts and editing. Shame it is so unreliable.
    Thanks heaps for all your help!
