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
Gary

Copy and paste text from Word for Mac to Mail exasperating!

I'm so exasperated!! I would be grateful for some help. I have a carefully worded template letter in Word for Mac. I copied and pasted it into Mail and loads of extra lines are put in that I cannot delete! So I painstakingly copy and paste each line. I still have to faff about deleting extra lines that magically appear, then press shift+enter to go to next line without having a line space. It has messed up font size as well. Surely it should be straightforward to copy and paste simple text from one program to another! Is there something I should know or do I just have to type everything out afresh each time - ridiculous in this so called easy technology that saves work ha ha.

Copy and Paste Stops working across the Mac OS X

Recently I have been using my machine to connect to Windows XP machines using the RDC program (Mac equivilant of mstsc.exe) that Mircosoft provides.
Whilst swtiching between applications on the host OS (Mac OS X 10.8) I found that my copy and paste functionaility across the whole OS appeared to stop working. A restart of the whole OS seem to resolve the problem, but when I dug a little deeper I found that it appears that once I terminated the RDC program the copy and paste functionailty came back. This also include any extented copy and paste functions within the Mac OS X eg, screenshots (cmd+ctrl+shift+3) and partial screenshots (cmd+ctrl+shift+4 very cool use it all the time).
I just thought I'd add this issue to the Support forums in case other came across this problem, just one of those gotachas worth noting.
Cheers
Steve

My keyboard stopped working and I recently installed a RDC program also. I will try to uninstall it and see if that is the main source of the issue. I will report back my findings for everyone else..

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.

I want to believe...that mac and PC OS can integrate fully...copy and paste

I would love it if I never had to use the windows OS ever again.
but since I have to use hyperlinks in emails, Leopard can't print anything, and for some old software i use intermittently to deal with others less fortunate not to have upgraded with the new programs, I have to.
Had been pretty happy using a windows 2000 OS under parrallels, but poof, it went away. gone, nothing to indicate,that it had ever existed. So I am setting up my windows XP parrallels to replace it. One thing it won't do is copy and paste text or images between the windows and mac OS.
I used to use fusion, and I recall the copy and paste worked there pretty well, but it crashed upon Leopard awaking, no fixing it.
There's got to be a solution, simple or store bought out there to integrate the simplest things like copy and paste, but I don't know what it is.
any help?

its just so random the things that can copy and paste between the 2 systems. But mixing Operating systems seems the only way to get some programs to work correctly, especially when CS3 is concerned. as a workaround, if one program i want to paste something in to doesn't work, just open some unrelated program and copy and paste from there. Why can't they all just get along?

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)

I able to copy and paste files from external hard drive to mac, but not the other way around. Please suggest. Thanks

I m able to copy and paste selected files from external hard drive to my mac but not the other way around. Im not able to copy files from Mac to external hard drive.

Please help.

Copy-and-paste table row results in hang in Contribute 6.5 Mac

Am running Adobe Contribute 6.5 for Mac on OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Cannot copy-and-paste a table row from one page to another without having Contribute hang. Get spinning multi-colored beach ball and have to eventuall Force Quit Contribute.
This worked correctly in Contribute 3 on OS X 10.7.x Lion.
Any suggestions? Any Adobe engineers who have seen this behavior?

Can you try restoring default preferences of Contribute. Please refer to the link below:-

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

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).

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.
