"Copy link address" missing in BB browser
After I've upgraded my Torch 9810 to OS 7.0.0.474, the feature to "copy link address" in browser is no longer available. It's missing in the menu and it's also missing when I click and hold over a hyperlink.
The only way how I can copy a link is to open it and copy its address from the address field when the page loads. This is a big problem for me because a lot of webpages nowadays will send me to their mobile version without the option to go back to the full desktop site. I need to be able to copy and email the original hyperlink, not the link optimized for mobile browsers.
Another reason I need this feature is because I travel often and I use google to search for kml files (transport information, local information...) of the area and then open it in maps application. I can't do this now. I can't copy the link to the kml file and when I click on it to open it in browser, it offers me to download the file as it cannot be viewed in browser and after I hit cancel, the address field is empty.
Another problem I'm experiencing is that click and hold on a hyperlink shows different menus - sometimes the left corner of the popup is "open in new tab" and sometimes it shows "open in opera mini" and the option to "open the link in a new tab" is right in the middle with the description "open in native browser". This is a big annoyance because it's slowing me down as I have to read what the menu says and can't just automatically scroll left + up + click to choose the option.
Is this a problem of this OS build or OS 7 in general? Will downgrade or upgrade solve it?

Question
I used to be able to copy or drag and drop links from the address window. Now with the update, only the address is copied or dragged not the link. (Says something about not giving site information). I want to be able to drag and drop or copy links.To be more precise, you can setup a JComponent or JPanel on top of your JavaFX nodes that has a TransferHandler that can convert the (AWT/Swing) images dragged to the app to JavaFX image and then insert it into the underlying node.
As for the file chooser itselft: ListView and the JavaFX composer can allow you to create one quite easily. TreeView can aslso be used to a lesser extend (still a big buggy). For both of these, there are small bugs in the Cell API that may (or may not) prevent from displaying a proper thumbnail in the cells.
You can also use a regular JFileChooser if you do not mind the dialog box having a different LnF from the rest of your application. -
I was in a chat box with SKYPE and I clicked on the link to copy the text but it came back with "can't copy because not permitted in your browser"
I can highlight copy and paste from other web screens with no problem.
The chat window however doesn't give access to the lines that have scrolled past the window so highlighting the text won't work. Other chat windows grab the entire text when the user clicks on the copy link or icon.
I just installed firefox and haven't tried other chat windows to see if the problem could be repeated.Use the keyboard if the buttons on the web page aren't working.
* Copy: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert
* Paste: Ctrl+V or Shift+Insert
* Cut: Ctrl+X or Shift+Delete

I am using a download manager (of sorts), Getbot, and it picks up the 'copy link location' to download anything. The problem I have, as I already put in my question results in the wrong item being clicked upon and my e-mail client (Thunderbird) gets started. I ahve used other browsers as well (Google Chrome, Opera, Safari) with the same or similar results. I try to steer clear of any version of IE if I can!!
You've probably heard of the saying 'I wish I had ten dollars every time that happened'? Well I am in the same boat, I would never have to work another day for the rest of my life if that was possible.
Is there a text file to edit, or perhaps a Registry entry to adjust (I'm quite comfortable doing either).
Your help would be much appreciated.
With much Thanks

How to copy link text from links?
Currently when selecting a link, there is no easy option to copy link text. This feature should be implemented to be one of the options in the popup menu once a link is selected, alongside with "Open Link in New Tab"; "Copy Link"; !"Copy Link Text"!; "Share Link"; "Bookmark Link".
This menu option will provide a convenient way to browse through search results and other various links and will add to the efficiency of navigation of web pages.Hi eva88, are you copying from a webpage or from the address bar? If you copy a link from a webpage, Gmail should pick up the HTML as is from the original. But when you copy from the address bar, you need to take the extra step of using the "link" button in Gmail. Due to changes in the Gmail UI, this may be harder to find, but for me, it appears when mousing over the lower part of the compose box. I've attached a series of screen shots showing where I see it.

CS3: PDF-Export Transparency Issue when Image-Links are missing
I have a Layout with a transparent Frame on the top most Layer. For this Workflow-Step I do not have access to the original Image-Links, so I guess that all I see are the embedded Preview-Pictures and InDesign reports that all Object-Links are missing.
If I export this Layout as JPG, the resulting JPG looks like the WYSIWYG in InDesign, which is suitable for this workflow-step. However when I export as pdf, the Frame is not transparent anymore. Instead it is filled with white color and covers the rest of the Layout. In Adobe Reader I can actually select the wrongly covered Picture at the border of the frame and copy&paste it somewhere and it looks fine.
When I provide the original Frame-Picture and repair the missing Link in InDesign, PDF-Export works fine.
I have installed & updated InDesign on a new Mac OS X 10.4.11, so all settings should be default.
Transparency Blend Space is set to CMYK. I tried all default PDF-Export Profiles and tried a lot of different settings in the pdf-export dialogue including different PDF-File-Versions, Simulate Overprint on/off, Color-Conversion disabled, disabling Picture-Compression and much more. I also tried to Print a PS-File and then use the Distiller: same result.
I use Adobe InDesign CS3 V 5.0.2 and tried Adobe Reader 8.1.2 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to display.
Any Ideas?Transparency flattening REQUIRES having access to the high-resolution images to get good results. One of the slogans I teach printers is "Fatten before you flatten." Meaning, replace the low-res images with high-res images.

This is the deal. I'm new to having a Mac & using Hotmail via Safari. When I had a pc I the web browser I used with explorer. Could it have anything to do with that?
no, the link was created for me via Acteva.
And, it is not longer than 69 characters.
Have you clicked on the link to ensure that it works? -
Every time I open Firefox 4 a popup box keeps trying to get me to run setup again. The box always reads: "Opening Firefox Setup 4.0.1.exe, Binary File from...." followed by a link address, which is different every time. Recent addresses: http://mirror.umoss.org.......also http://mozilla.mirrors.tds.net....also http://mozilla.ussg.indiana.edu
and so on.
Help! Thanks!I am having the same problem and it seems to have just started (6/15/11). I have tried reloading the program several times and even the first release of the 4.o with no success. The same scenario also occurs when I click to open a new "tab" after the browser is already launched.

Upgraded to IOS 7, now address missing in contacts. Have the phone/email/notes but not address
I upgraded to IOS 7 and now am missing address for my contacts. The phone number(s), email address, notes are all intact, only address missing.
All of my husband's contacts were gone when he updated, and his son helped him figure out how to copy them over from his Contacts list on his desktop Mac. Mine were fine until a few days after I updated, then I suddenly found a completely empty Calendar AND Contacts list for absolutely no apparent reason. (One minute I'm checking on a text in Urgent Care, an hour later - after not using the phone at all - I'm standing in line at a pharmacy, someone who I know calls me, and her name doesn't show up. I opened my calendar to set up an appt with her and the whole freaking thing was empty!
I has synched (backed up) my phone about a month ago, so I did I again, assuming that would restore my data. Nope. For some reason I tried it again, and it worked. I'm still missing anything I put in since my backup, but it's still way better than nothing. -
Hello, We use a program called Zimbra for work which houses our email and calendar systems. I used to be able to hover over someone's email address, right click, and an option would pop up to allow me to "copy email address". This feature stopped a week or more ago and I called my business tech support and they said it is not a feature of Zimbra so perhaps it is a Firefox issue. Thought I would ask. I do a lot of copy and pasting of email addresses for our job listservs and this was a helpful feature.
Thanks Barney. Yes, duplicating the file is a work around and I will use it for now. I was hoping that I could set a preference or something to have TextEdit save new files like it used to. Not sure why a redesign would limit options for saving files. That, to me, is crazy. Using the duplicating feature means more clicks to get it to do what I used to be able to do more easy. I hate "improvements" like this to an app.
I have "Documents and Data" checked in my iCloud preferences and when I uncheck it warns me that unchecking means that if I turn it off then all documents stored in iCloud will be deleted from the Mac. Not sure if I want to do that or nor. I don't like using iCloud for storage, but I think my photos from my iphoneare on there and I am not sure I want to keep those deleted off of this Mac as I use some photos for work related items and this is a work related Mac. What do you think?
I would like to try a "save as" option, but that does not even come up when the "File" menu is selected. Using the command key does not make it appear either.
And thanks for the advice about a hidden preference for iCloud. I have not found it, but I amnot sure why they would hide such a preference either.
I switched to Mac a few years ago because they were so much better than PCs. Now, they seem to be creeping into PC **** with unnecessary changes to apps that do not make any sense to me. -
My wife just got this iPad mini and I want to copy the address book on my iPad 2 over to the mini. Can I use iCloud to do this and what are the steps. The 2 devices have different Apple IDs.
Download the "My Contacts Backup" app from App Store to your iPad 2. Make a backup and send it by email to your wife's address. Open this email from iPad mini and tap the attachment to import the contacts into iPad mini Contacts app.

How do I copy an address book from one user account to another?
How do I copy an address book from one user account to another?
You haven't understood me. Follow these steps:
1. Log in the user where are the files you want to transfer, and open a Finder window.
2. In Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Users/Shared. Now you're on Shared folder, so leave that window.
3. Open a new Finder window without closing the old one, go to the folder with the files you want to transfer, and copy them to Shared folder.
4. After copying the files to Shared folder, go to > Log Out, and log in the other user.
5. Repeat the step 2, and you will get access to the transferred files. Now, you can open them directly from this folder, or you can copy them to a folder on your user folder -
Once completed the form, is it possible to receive the confirmation e-mail with a link addressing to a html archive?
I don't know if it is the best solution but you could filter the results to just that client's answers on the summary tab and then PDF that.

When I try to access adobe from my smart phone to use my form created in formscentral I receive an error message that says "unsupported browser". There is a link to download a supported browser but the link directs me to another page that says "browser not supported at this time". This happened to me while using my IPhone 5, a friend that uses an IPhone 6, and another friend that uses a Samsung Galaxy S5. I just need for my employees to be able to access, complete and submit work orders created in formscentral from their phones. I would like to use the data collection feature in formscentral but at this point any suggestions on how to accomplish this are welcomed. Thank you
Further info - I changed my security settings to allow apps from anywhere, and again tried to install. I again got an error message
that the update failed to install, and to contact Customer Support. -
I have a balancer on an ITunes Gift Card But can't seem to make purchases with this balance. I saved 4 items to my wish list but when attempting to purchase/buy I am not given the option. All I see is Gift This Song, Tell a Friend, Share on Twitter, Share on Facebook abd Copy Link. Last made a purchase in June 2013 without any issues. How do I buy music using the unused balance on my gift card? What has changed?
You need to click on the price, not the downward pointing arrow next to them, that should allow you to buy them - the 'buy all' button that used to be on the wish list screen has, for some reason, been removed from the current version of iTunes, so you can only buy items individually
