Copy and Paste on Mac OSX

Dumb question I know but I wrote a Java Swing application that works just fine on Windows.
I had a user try it on Mac OSX and she said that cut and paste were not working. She was copying tags from DreamWeaver and trying to paste them on a JTextField. I am just relying on the standard java functionality to provide this (I have not written any specialized cut and paste).
Can anybody enlighten me with the keyboard copy and paste commands that should work on a Mac for a JTextField (or any other Swing object for that matter)? And is there any reason why this would ever not work?

I hate guessing but I will assume that you mean Word.
Where do you copy the picture from, and what is the error message when you attempt to paste?

  • Any news to the copy and paste problem with osx 10.9 ms rdc client?

    Hi,
    Yes, it is not supported in the current versions.
    The workaround is to use folder redirection.
    Folder redirection enables access local folders during the remote session. Click the + button at the bottom of the dialog and choose a folder you want to have redirected.
    Configure Folder Redirection
    1. Click the + button.
    2. In the Add Local Folder window, enter the following information:
    • Name: Set a name for the folder to be available during the remote session.
    • Path: Select the path to the folder to be available during the remote session.
    3. Click the exit button to save the remote desktop.
    Thanks.

  • Can't copy and paste in Mac OS since last software update

    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    First, Try using Disk Utility to repair your startup disk (hard drive) as shown in Dr.Smokes Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption. This should be done before every update. And repairing permissions should be done before and after. They are both covered in Smokes link.
    If you still have trouble, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.4.6 Combo update (this is for non-intel Macs). Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
    Cheers!

    When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.
    This does not happen in Safari.
    (Mac OSX 10.6.4 with Firefox 3.6.6).
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.

  • Copy and paste to a JTextArea under Mac OSX

    Hello,
    Mac OSX users complain about the lack of copy and paste functionality
    when they run my small Java application. Unfortunately I don't own a
    Mac so I cannot test it or find out where the problem is. When I run the
    application under various versions of Linux or Windows I can copy and
    paste by using the common keyboard shortcuts ctrl-c and ctrl-v.
    Searching the web I found discussions here and there, some very old,
    but none of them was realy solved or gave me an idea of what I could
    try to change in order to make c&p work under Mac OSX.
    So I need a little help. First I'd like to know if copy & paste works when
    the app runs as applet or standalone application (the jar file can do both).
    And, of course: why doesn't copy and paste work under Mac OSX?
    The application can be found here (released under the GPL):
    http://transtoba2.seige.net/
    And please be mild, it is still in beta state. ;-)
    Best regards
    Leander

    The following link helped me understand an issue with copy and paste
    http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-12078
    It seems to be down to the L&F you are using and how the key bindings are mapped.
    In summary
    OSX 10.4 , Safari and Firefox
    To copy/paste in the Applet � Ctrl-C , Ctrl-V
    To paste a value from Altio into the OSX environment use ^ V (^ is the Apple key)
    To paste a value from OSX into Altio use Ctrl-V
    Hope this works for you

    I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

    Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

  • Is it possible to write in superscript or subscript in mac mail since the OSX Mavericks update? At the moment I have to copy and paste from Pages!

    Is it possible to write in superscript or subscript in mac mail since the OSX Mavericks update? At the moment I have to copy and paste from Pages!

    I tried to figure this out myself and couldn't believe there wasn't a simple menu item to get this done.  Seems there was in pre-Mavericks but not in Mavericks.   Found several answers but they all reply to before Mavercks.
    This is helpful and yet I'm left with "Wow!  Apple really can make simple things difficult.  Who would have guessed."

  • I want to copy and paste a chart from an email into Pages on MAC. I only get the text.  Not the chart.

    I recieved an email that included a chart that I want to put in a document.  When I copy and paste the chart in Pages it only shows the text without the chart.  This shouldnt be too hard but I have no idea why it will not copy this in the format or image that it is.  Thanks.

    This is on OSX 10.9.3 MAC Pro
    Pages version 5.2
    I'm sorry I do not know how to determine the format of the chart.  It was sent to me in the body of an email...it was not an attachment.  Is there a way for me to find that out?
    I actually tried both ways...I copied just the chart & then I copied the whole body of the email that included the chart.  Either way, the chart-lines/box did not paste.  Only the text.
    Thanks Peter!  I'm somewhat new with MAC

  • Why did apple mail get much worse with lion osx?  I can't add recipients without copy and paste?

    why did apple mail get much worse with lion osx?  I can't add recipients without copy and paste?

    I went through updates on my three newest Macs this week.  As I stated I'm talking about iTunes 10.5.1 (42).  I am checking for updates now and I see 10.5.2 is now available.  I'll know in about 15 minutes if this issue is fixed or not.
    15 minutes later:
    I must have updated this PPC G5 a day or two before iTunes 10.5.2 came out.  I was able to update to 10.5.2 (11) and this copy/paste bug is fixed.  I'm happy again.

  • Can I simply copy and paste an existing library file from XP to a Mac and then copy and paste the music files themselves? Of course, the music files will be in a different location...

    Hello Gurus,
    I have an aged XP machine with a large music library in ITunes. iTunes will not run any longer (tried uninstalling and reinstalling etc to no avail) but the music files are backed up onto an external drive so all safe. I have purchased a Mac which of course already has iTunes installed and I can copy the music files onto the Mac, but can I simply copy and paste the iTunes library files from the XP machine to the Mac so that all of the playlists, tags, ratings etc transfer, or do I have to start again?
    Thanks for the advice.

    Sounds like you have a split library. Ideally you would make this portable before attempting to move it to the Mac. See make a split library portable for details.
    Perhaps you can get iTunes running on the old box long enough to sort things out...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    You will also want to deauthorize the XP system once everything is working properly on the Mac.

    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)

  • Shortcut-Bug in Bridge CS6 for Mac / Bridge cant' copy and paste metadata

    The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the 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 file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6, the shortcuts or 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. Bridge CS6 and ACR 7 are very good and meet my expect ions or needs - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.
    It would be nice, if you could forward this to Adobe engineers that they can fix it.
    Thanks so much!

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