Copy and Paste are dimmed in iPhoto

After naming a couple of photos using copy and paste, I can't do any more as the copy and paste options in the dropdown menu are dimmed. Why?

I'll ask the community hosts to remove the thread. You cannot cancel a thread, once you posted the question.

    Delete, backspace, apostrophe and cut, copy and paste are disabled. This only happens in comments, no functionality is lost in messaging or status updates.

  • Selecting objects or ares of the screen, copy, and paste are missing

    Hi,
    Why such a standard and important functionality like selecting objects or areas of the screen, then copy and paste them are missing in the product?

    Hi,
    You can't select objects in Ideas, you can copy/paste the whole layer's contents by duplicating it, there is an icon in the layers panel, next to flip and merge down icons.

  • Copy and paste are still not working even after many workarounds

    This usually happens to me randomly. I would say that there is about a 25% chance that my paste works. The copy function seems to work, but when it comes to pasting, my browser does not offer the pasting button and it stays invisible. I have disabled my firewall, disabled my antivirus, resat firefox, started in safemode, disabled all plugins, and even uninstalled and reinstalled java. I have tried everything. This is definitely a browser problem because I am able to copy and paste in any other application with out any problem. I don't like any other browser so I refuse to do so. Please help me firefox team.

    Why yes it was in fact Zonealarm's problem. Thank you very much for your answer. I will now inform Zonealarm about this issue.

  • HT2498 If I use camera window to download my pictures to my computer, and then I copy and paste the pictures to iPhoto. Would I be ending up having the same pictures in two different files in my computer, and so wasting space in my hard drive?

    I recently bought a canon camera. The instructions of the camara recommend to use the canon software (camara window) to download pictures to my computer.  I would like to have my pictures in i-photo because it syncs them to my ipad.
    I want to download the pictures from my camera to camara window, and then drag and drop the pictures to i-photo. If I keep my pictures in both programs would I be wasting space in my computer hard drive by having the same pictures in two different files?

    Yes.
    Ignore the Canon software. It gains you nothing and adds complexity. Just use iPhoto for the lot.

  • Copy and Paste from MathType

    I am using MathType with Adobe InDesign in  Mac computers (OS X 10.4.11 and Leopard OSX) . After creating an equation in MathType and copying to the clipboard I paste it in an InDesign CS3 file. When pasting the equation, which was written using an appropiate font (Time, Book Antiqua, or New Century Schoolbook, etc), the fonts change to Arial, independently of the fonts used in MathType. This does not happen when pasting the equations in Word. Using the Save As command in MathType and the Place command in InDesign, which I don´nt want to use, solves the problem. Does someone knows why this happens and how to cope with this problem? Thanks.

    Thanks Peter. In fact, I had the preference for clipboard in InDesign set to "text only". However, changing it to include all the information (formatting, etc) did not resolve the problem. I continue getting the Arial font, whenever I paste an equation from MathType. I should mention that I am using a Spanish versión of InDesign CS3 and don´t know if this is causing troubles. I Hope to find an answer to this question in the near future.
    The reason I don´t want to use "Save as" in MathType and the "Place" command in InDesign is that when a variable or an equation occurs several times in a given chapter of the Calculus book I am writing, InDesign creates a link each time I use it, even when "Copy" and "Paste" are used within this last application. In other words, once I "Place" an expressión or a symbol (for example the symbol for irrational numbers) from MathType and I use the same symbol or expression in the InDesign chapter or page, I get several links on the link palette. As a result, I have a lot of links, all of them referred to the same expression, symbol or variable. May be this answers what FivePicaPica says.
    As I know, by the way, Macs and MathType are not limited to only two fonts. In fact, any of the system fonts can be used and "copy and paste" with Word. The problem arises when cpying and pasting from MathType to InDesign.
    Thanks again

  • Cut, Copy and Paste not working Photoshop CC

    Cut, Copy and Paste are not working in Photoshop CC.
    I tried resetting my tools and preferences, using edit > purge, reinstalling Photoshop CC and reinstalling OSX. Nothing has worked! Help!

    For about 2 weeks I had this problem and today I fixed it!
    Didn't fancy doing a Reset of Firefox as I'd only just done one a few months ago, manually.
    Basically, I uninstalled ZoneAlarm. I've been a ZoneAlarm fan for years but the software just got worse and worse and for about a year this weird thing pops up while I'm in Firefox by pressing CTRL Enter or something, it's like ZoneAlarm has put some kind of layer between me and the browser.
    Anyway, uninstalled it, it rebooted and did a scandisk which did find and fix a few errors too, so could also be that.
    But I'm happy without ZA now as I've found a better one called Online Armour... non of that sneaky trying to install toolbars in your browser rubbish of ZA.
    Hope this helps!
    I can't tell you how good it feels to have copy & paste fully working again!

  • In iphoto 11 the copy and past buttons to the adjustment tab are gone

    In iphoto 11 the copy and past buttons to the adjustment tab are gone. I thought this was a cool feature. They still work when you click alt-c or alt-v. Did anyone notice this?

    I've noticed too and I don't like it! I tried to alt-c like you said and when I do that, it just takes me to the crop. It won't allow me to copy the adjustments! Is there any way around this??

  • How can I copy and paste a caption for several pictures that are all the same?

    I'm trying to understand the process of importing, labeling and organizing pictures I'm importing from my iPhone into iPhoto 11.
    So far I am importing only pictures that relate to one another; ie taken at the same event.  I have 18 pictures from one hike.  I'd like to label each of those pictures the same; ie "hike at Bear Creak 2/15."  Can I copy and paste the same label to all 18 pictures?  How would I copy and paste?
    There are lots of You Tube videos on the subject of iPhoto and that's how I learn best.  If you know of a really basic one to watch I'd appreciate it. 
    I think I have to take a class at the Apple Store on this basic organizing because it's really escaped me in the 9 months I've had this Mac (switched from PC.)
    Thanks,
    Ginny

    Ginny,
    select all 18 photos at once in iPhoto on your Mac and then use the menu entry "Photos > Batch Change"
    That will change the titles or descriptions of all photos at once.

  • How do I copy and paste pics from one event to another in iPhoto?

    I'm trying to copy and paste in iPhoto, but every time I get to the paste part nothing happens.  The word "paste" even appears on the screen, but it's grayed out. Any suggestions?

    Hi Mel,
    From the picture in your post, it seems that you are using SharePoint 2010 workflow platform.
    If that is the case, I recommend to use Copy List Item action to copy the current item to other lists instead.
    If you still want to use Create List Item action, could you please provide more details about the two steps in your workflow:
    I am not sure why you need to set the workflow variable to get the ID in the Checklist2.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • In iPHOTO it won't let me "choose any of the original pictures to include in an email or even copy and paste them else where? Why ?

    In iPHOTO I can highlight a photo to include in an email, but after I select the a photo, the "choose" box will not darken to let me choose that photo or any of my original photos to put them in an email or even to copy and paste them else where.
    The only changes I have done is the original photos were taken with a different digital camera from the one I use currently.  The newer digital cameras photos can be selected and emailed just fine.  What is not being recognized by the iPHOTO programing as to not let me select (choose) to older photos taken by the older original digital camera?

    Thanks for the response to my query on emailing photos from iPHOTO.  To answer your questions:
    1. When I first connected my new digital camera to my iMAC and installed it's program from it disk, all went well and that program with Icons are currently on my desk top.  When I down loaded pictures from this new camera into iPHOTO, I was asked if all pictures from this camera were to be down loaded into iPHOTO only, I answered yes.
    2. I did nothing to the photos in iPHOTO, they are my original pictures setup in various groups and are not thumbnail copies of the originals.
    3. And yes, I have tried to attach photos from iPHOTO directly into an email message in both Apple's MAIL program and even through my AOL service provider account to no avail. I get the same issues of not being able to choose older pictures for insertion in an email message, only newer pictures taken with the new camera.
    4. I have even gone back into my external back files and restored older versions of iPHOTO and the same thing happens.
    5. I have even thought of uninstalling the unused new camera's desk top files, but since there is nothing in these files and both my new and older cameras are Canon models, I can see no issues for removing the new camera files?
    I hope this extra detail is lear to you and again tell for your assistants.

  • HT201269 itunes cannot see my iphone backup.  I have a backup of the backup on an external HD, but even tech support cannot figure this one out.  I copy and paste backups into the correct folder but itunes still does not see it.  All I need are my contact

    Sorry for short novel I am writing.  I just wanted to cover as much backround as possible.
    So, here it goes.  I backed up my iphone 4 after renting a movie.  The movie only played the starting credits before I was called on for daddy duty.  A few days later the movie would not play, so I restored my phone from my backup.  The movie would still would not play so itunes support refunded my purchase and ended my viewing privileges for that rental after verifying that I had not viewed the movie.  I then had a problem with my contacts showing up twice in the contacts list after the restore.  So I attempted another restore.  All was well at this point.  I then started having trouble with my pc and decided to copy the internal drive to an external source.  A week later I had a system failure and did a factory restore on my computer.  I re-installed itunes and tried to copy and paste the old backup into the new itunes.  Now itunes just flat out does not see the backup file (I failed to mention that I did a factory reset on the iphone after the last backup, hopping to start fresh).  Tech support had me uninstall and re-install itunes and then copy and paste the old backup into the newly installed itunes with no luck.  The files are all there, but itunes just doesn't see them (itunes says the device has not been backed up to the cloud or to the local machine).  We then tried backing up the factory restored iphone and replacing that restore file with one of my old backups on the external drive.  Ok, this is where it gets weird.  We replaced the guts of the folder but left the folder itself so itunes would continue to recognize the new backup folder with the old files.  Whoohoo, itunes now see's a backup folder full of old files, or so we thought.  The new files were deleted using shift delete so they would be gone for good and not mix with any files or folders.  When I restore my phone, it restores the files that were deleted from the restore file (pause here for a moment and imagine the stupid look on the face of tech support and I while we silently wonder how files that were permanently deleted were restored).  This left tech support and I both scratching our heads.  My service issue was escalated to the next level.  I waited for the phone call the next day that was scheduled at 10am to my wife's phone, but the call never came through.  As usual, apple disappoints again.  I just bought an iphone 5s and still have the iphone 4, and am looking for a solution to retrieve my contacts and restore to the 4 or 5s.  I am guessing that files in other folders must be associated with the iphone backup in order for itunes to retrieve the files.  Any ideas or support in retrieving my contacts would be greatly appreciated.

  • Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location.

    Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
    In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?

    Hi Kevin,
    I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
    You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.
    Best

  • How do I select an area on a clip in a timeline and copy and paste it ..

    How do I select an area of a clip in the timeline and copy and paste the video track only, several times on the tracks just above it?
    Thank You in Advance,
    Sebastian

    Select the range selection tool (ggg is the keyboard shortcut), then drag through the clip to select the area you want to copy then paste... it will paste only what's selected.
