Copy and Paste on "Get Info"

So I just switched to a Mac, and have a question. Why are you not able to copy and paste song info onto iTunes? For example, I am updating info for Blue Oyster Cult. However I want it to read Blue Öyster Cult. You know, with those 'things' over the O. However when I try and paste this onto the artist info in iTunes, it will not let me. Is there something I can do to sole this problem?

Where are you trying to paste it? If it's into the song listing in your library, you need to click on the Artist, then hover over it until you can enter the data. The easier method is to Get Info on the song (or a group of songs), then paste the info into the Artist field in the Get Info window. If iTunes won't let you do that, then something's amiss with the song file.
Incidentally, those "things" are known as an umlaut or diaeresis. You can type Ö on a Mac by typing option-u, then shift-O.

  • Is it possible to copy and paste All the infos in Itune Producer?

    When I fill in all the infos in the Itunes Producer it takes a long time, and I have several books to load. Especially the part about rights and pricing, country by country. I have several books to load at the same price. Is there a way I could use all the infos about one book and copy it to another packages in Itunes producer, would be a great time saver !
    Tks,
    Serge

    There is a "Group" button somewhere in iTunes Producer. I tried using it, but it appear not to work. If it does work, it's not obvious how to go about creating a group.

  • Hi, I was trying to copy and paste a lot of  info for one day on my calendar to another day and an error message popped up saying that the system responded with an error. Msg won't go away I force quit ical

    Need help for trying to unfreeze a message on my ical.  I was trying to copy and paste some appointment info from one day to another on my ical and a message popped up saying the system responded with an error.  All of my info was below the message.  I can't get that message to go away or work on the ical now at all.  I try to force quit ical and have shut down the computer and it still comes up.  Any suggestions?

    K,
    Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that Library folder, if you are using Lion, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart.
    Next, make sure that you are not connected to the internet. Then to to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Use the same method as listed above to get to the correct Library Folder. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal for functionality.

  • Suddenly I cant copy and paste copy/cut/paste is not available in Mozillia and firefox. Never seen this before

    I have never seen this before when I try to copy and paste, I get a
    "Copy/cut/ paste is not available in Mozilla and firefox. Do you want more information about this issue? "
    I have copied and pasted hundreds of times before with Mozilla and firefox . This just happened suddenly.
    when I go to find more information on this issue, it give a long drawn out explanation I cant follow.
    What happened?

    When you right-click the link, the page immediately tells you you can't copy, or does that occur after you choose Copy Link Location?
    If it appears immediately, you can switch a setting in Firefox that should prevent sites from blocking the normal right-click menu. Here's how you would do that:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''context''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''dom.event.contextmenu.enabled''' preference to switch it from true to false.
    This setting does have a complication: On Google Maps and other sites that have their own right-click menu, Firefox's menu then will block the site's menu. To clear Firefox's menu so you can access the site's menu tap either the Alt key or Esc key once (but sometimes Esc removes both).

  • Itunes copy and paste get info

    I have a lot of info written in the Comments field in my itunes songs and was wondering if I can get automator to copy that field to the Lyrics field. Each song has different information written in the comment field and I have thousands of songs so you can see how this would be tedious to do manually.
    Anyone please help who knows

    Hi,
    1. Open "Applescript Utility" (in your Application->AppleScript folder), check "Enable GUI Scripting", you will need your login password. Now quit "Applescript Utility".
    2. Open "Script Editor". Copy and Paste the following into the script editor,
    tell application "iTunes"
    set N_ames to the name of selection
    set x to the number of items in N_ames
    repeat with i from 1 to x
    set C_omment to the comment of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1
    set L_yrics to the lyrics of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1
    set lyrics of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1 to {C_omment & return & L_yrics}
    end repeat
    end tell
    3. Save the file in your Home/Library/iTunes/Scripts folder and give it any name you like. You may need to create the folder "Scripts" in Home/Library/iTunes folder.
    4. Open iTunes, you will see a symbol in iTunes menu item, this is the symbol for script. Under the symbol you will find your script.
    5. Select any number of songs anywhere in iTunes, click on the script symbol and choose the script you saved before.
    The script will copy the comment of a song and add it on top of the lyrics of that song (if you don't have any lyrics, it will only add the comment).

    Your main question was 'chopped' in the title. Please reply in the body of a reply box with the full question and anything you have tried. And no, the long report was not helpful .
    If the same website is opening each time you launch a browser (Safari?) hold down the shift key as you launch to prevent previous pages from opening.

  • How can I copy and paste from Google "Keep"? Whenever i try, the copied text doesn't get copied on the Firefox clipboard, it copies to my 'default' clipboard.

    I can't get the Firefox clipboard to appear when i try to copy from Google Keep. Please help, thanks.

    Hi again LvScience:
    (jsoulless40's advice (thanks js40!) of trying the desktop site in Firefox when using the Keep web app is fine but i think you are using the Keep App right, not the web app version right?)
    Thanks for the device info: "Android OS is 4.1.2 on a Samsung Rugby Pro". I don't have that tablet but I do have two android samsung tablets running 4.x
    I should have asked before:
    '''What exact steps where you following when you copied and pasted into a "newly opened document"'''
    My steps were (on my Samsung Tab S 10 running 4.4.2):
    # in Firefox selected and then copied some text
    # switched to Google's Keep app
    # '''successfully pasted the text in Keep into the "Add quick note", also tapped on the new note icon and pasted the text into a new note'''

  • Bring back copying and pasting of SONG and ARTIST info (not just links)

    Guys, I used to be able to copy and paste song and artist info into a Google document so I could have a record of my favourite tracks. I'm not talking about copying and pasting actual links within Spotify; rather just the absolute basics. If still not following, I would, for example copy a track from my Spotify playlist as such: Megadeth - Hanger 18 After which I would paste into a Google document and get this: Megadeth - Hanger 18 I've always found the ability to do this very handy. Any chance we can have this back, Spotify? And while we're at it, can we be able to hover over the Spotify icon in the Windows system tray and have currently playing track info displayed? Cheers.  

    Select the text in both cases, and look at the Character Style applied. My guess is that the grey text has the Hyperlink Character style, and it has been manually overridden to get to grey and not underlined. When the text is copied and pasted, the Style is re-asserting itself. Remove the Style from the grey text (or use Redefine Style to change it to match your formatting preferences).

  • How can I use the "Copy and paste" tool in order get stamps in the same position in different pages (Acrobat XI for PC)?

    With Acrobat 6.0 I was able to copy a stamp in the same position (I mean "exactly" the same one) of different pages just by using the "copy/past" tool.
    Now I am using Acrobat XI and it seems like it is not possible anymore: I am copying a stamp and I am trying to past it in anoter page, but it appears in the center of the page (or wherever it wants to...).
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you very much. I'll be waiting for you message.

  • Trying to copy and paste objects in keynote 6 I only get a hyperlink when pasting. Anyone else having the same problem? is there anywhere I can change it so that the copied object is pasted directly into the new slide?

    Hi
    I am trying to copy one object from one lside to another slide in the same presentation. The only thing I get when pasting is a hyperink. Does anyone know how I can turn this off so that the image or the object is pasted as copied to the new slide?
    Thanks a lot

    there are some unexpected issues when copy and pasting.
    As a workaround, use duplicate slide to get the same object in another slide, (select the slide in navigator and command D or right click > duplicate)

  • Bridge CS6 Mac XMP File Info Panel Bug: can't copy and paste metadata

    The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the xmp file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
    This bug only appears in the xmp file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste from one field to another works.
    The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
    I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.

    Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

    You need to set Copy'n'Paste security policies for that domain in Firefox.
    AllowClipboard Helper will help you do that. <br />
