Copying and pasting e-mail addresses from excel

I have always copied and pasted e-mail addresses from an excel file into the "to" field on the e-mail. This has always worked fine. Now for some reason, if there is a blank row on the excel field between e-mail addresses, when copying over it is now adding commas to the e-mail addresses meaning that the address fails. Something must have changed in my settings but I do not know where. Appreciate any help please

Just to add some info, it works just as bad if you copy from your own address-book. If there is a missing line it will show up as an extra comma and the recipient after that comma will fail.

Copying and Pasting E-Mail addresses from Mail To, From, CC Fields

In previous versions of Mail, you could copy an e-mail address from the To, From, or CC fields and past it into a document. In Mail 4.0 (mad 4.1), when you do this, the address shows up just as it appears in the field from which it was copied.
Here's an example. First, the address as it appears in the From field:
(1) John Smith <[email protected]>
Earlier versions of Mail would allow you to select this address, copy it and paste it as
(2) [email protected]
Now, however, you get the whole thing as in (1), a real nuisance if all you want is the e-mail address itself. Two questions. First, rhetorically, why would anyone want to make this change? Second, is there any way to persuade Mail to revert to its earlier behavior?

How do I display, copy, and paste a web address from an open Safari window please?

I'm new to Mac and Safari.
I'm used to being able to just cut and paste a web address from a page I'm on into a discussion, but I don't see an address bar to copy from.
I'm sure it is there somewhere, which toolbar or keyboard shortcut am I missing, please?
Gordon_M

Hello:
While Safari is open, go to the menu bar>view. Select "customize toolbar." You may use the default, or customize it to yoru liking.
Then when you wish to copy an address, you simply click on the favicon and go to edit>copy.

I send them to 50-200 people. Can I copy and paste their email addresses from a previously sent message?

l

Hi Sara,
Thanks but that is not what i need. In my scenario i literally just need to copy all 200 email addresses from a previously sent file and paste them into the box saying "enter recipient email addresses" so that i can send the exact same people a new file. Without this feature this program is virtually useless to me now. Typing them in one at a time or choosing them one at a time from a list is not an option - i will only do this when i send out the first round of files and then i should be able to copy and past the email addresses to send out any added files that every person on the list will need. I just need to select, copy, paste, done. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks,
Matt

Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine. You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby)

How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

I don't think the list style transfers. Copy and paste the text in to Mail, select it and then choose "Insert Numbered List" as a work around.

If I copy and paste a web address, it does not become an underlined link..How to fix?

I sell items on ebay. When I copy and paste a web address it does not become an underlined CLICK ABLE LINK.
It does in automatically in Internet Explorer. I prefer using Firefox.
How can I fix this ???
Ron
PS The same thing happens if I try to email a link to someone.

Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).<br />

Is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

Thank you. I have heard of Logic Pro 7, but I have never personally used it. I'm still growing in the world of Composition, and I know that it is something I will be studying in one of my Computer Music classes coming up for my degree. I think it is something I will look into getting once I can justify the price of it. I guess for the time being, I will continue to play and grow in my ability to use and take advantage of GB, and then see what I can do about or with Logic Pro when I'm ready. The thought of spending $1000 for a program is hard to bite, because I've already spent a lot to produce my music, not only electronic music, but also chamber music and so on. I had no idea it would be so expensive to dive deep into the world of composition! lol.
Finale 2007: $500
Sibelius 4: $500
Jam Packs: $400
Midi Keyboard Interface: $100
PowerBook: $1700
Printer for printing scores and analysis: $150
Logic Pro 7: Oy!
As you can see it adds up very quickly...that doesn't even include my personal instruments and study materials.
Thank you for your input, as I haven't really worked much with LP, and therefore didn't know which features are available. I will talk with some of my Composition buddies, and professors and see what they have to say as well, and who knows, I may be able to get the express version through one of them.

How to copy and paste web design styles from the web

I am not doing so well with the web style templates provided in the latest versions of IWeb.
Is there a way to copy and paste the html code from some site who's design I like then paste it into my Iweb and then put in my content to the style that was up?
I used to be able to do do this about 10 years ago with a Claris Homepage program, don't see how to do it with IWeb.
It's like I have to do everything from scratch, draw background boxes, don't see frames.
Thanks everyone..
Jack E.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No you can't copy the code form a site and use it in an iWeb page. To use frames you would use an HTML snippet and this code:
<IFRAME SRC = "URL OF PAGE YOU WANT TO FRAME" WIDTH="XXXpx" HEIGHT="XXpx" FRAMEBORDER="0" --if "0" no border, otherwise "1" with border MARGINWIDTH ="0px" MARGINHEIGHT="0px" SCROLLING="no" --"no" no scrolling bar, "yes" show always, "auto" showed when need > Your browser does not support IFRAME </IFRAME>
You can get more info at this site:iFrame code.
I've creates a demo site which describes many of the features and tricks I've learned from this forum. This iWeb FAQ site is a wealth of information on using iWeb and all of it's capabilities.

How to copy and paste the data directly from the excel to the PDF?

hi,
I have found the same question on the link:
How to copy excel sheet to pdf form?
But I didnt get my answer through that forum.
My requirement is dat I should copy the data from excel sheet and directly paste it to PDF form.
When I am trying to copy and paste ..all the data is getting pasted into a single block only.
Kindly help.
Thanks & Regards,
Lina

So you want the user/person to do the "cut&paste" action (ie. ctrlc ctrlv) and have the data paste itself across rows correctly much like Excel does. I don't think this "intelligence" is built into Adobe table controls as it is in Excel (and Excel is smart enough to even handle it different ways depending on how the user selects cells).
The only thing I can think of is that you could "capture" the user trying to paste into a cell/row in your table (maybe in the onFocus or onClick events), then grab the data, parse it out (but looking for some character) and then have your code distribute the data across the rows. However, I personally think that would be a lot of overkill and prone to other issues and errors.

Why won't Mac Mail let you copy and paste a email address?

I have mail 5.2 and was just wondering why doesn't it let you paste using the track pad to paste e-mail address into the field for To and Cc for, when i click on the track pad like you would normally do it doesn't come up with anything? It lets you paste only into the subject line and nothing else, using cmd v however works. Is this like it for everyone's mail? Or does mine have a problem? Thank you.

Pressed "Rebuild" and nothing happened.
Did you have that account highlighted?
Well, don't know much about Mail in 10.7, but here's my 10.4/10.5 notes...
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

Copying and pasting Garageband track data from a project file to another?

I am recording my music using an iBook and Garage band in the room where I havemy musical instruments and MIDI equipment. Then, using a one Gb Kingston memory stick, I move the files to my brand new 24" Intel iMac in another room. When the files are on the iMac hard disk I copy and paste tracks from the recorded files to the final project file for adjustment.
Initially this works but after saving the final project file and reopening it again many tracks have been lost?
Questions:
1. How to avoid this problem in Garageband? Is it a bug?
2. Is it possible to extract the aif-files from the Garageband file and move them to another file by mouse dragging?
3. Or is it better to record the music track by track using another program (like Audacity) and mouse drag the tracks then into the Garageband?

1. The way you are doing that, you are only copying pointers to the original file into your final project. As soon as you remove one of the single-track files, you'll get an error msg, and the recording is gone. To avoid this, you have to "Save as Archive" the final project each time you inserted a new recording!
2. Yes, it's possible, but a bit tricky, and you risk damaging you projects:
- Locate the source project in the Finder.
- Ctrl-click it and select "Show Package Content".
- Open the folder called "Media", and you'll see your recordings.
- Pick the ones you want and drag them into your opened targed project.

Copy and Paste audio track MIX from one track to another??

Hi
What's the best way to handle this.
I have a video with one long music track, that I mixed using Adobe Premiere's Audio Mixer.
The musician made a new version of the track with some very slight modifications in the music.
Rather than having to remix the entire new track, I would prefer to either:
1) Copy and paste the attributes of the orginal audio track onto the new music track -- retaining the Mix I did from the original mix. Is this possible? I tried it once and it did not seem to work. (I used the Mixer, not keyframes, to do all of the mix.)
or
2) Is there a setting in Premiere's Audio mixer to "gang" the new track to the old one -- with the new track cloning the old track's mix.
Or would it be better to bring the two audio tracks into Soundbooth and do it there?
Thanks,
...Rowby

Thanks Colin
I did a complicated mix on one long background music track and was not looking forward to doing that remix because of various minor music changes made by the musician scattered throughout that long track.
Your Alt (for replace solution) worked perfectly and saved me a ton of time.
The fact that Copy attributes for Audio doesn't work for copying audio keyframes is another reason do do audio mixes using the Mixer instead of using keyframes to adjust volume.
...Rowby
P.S. And a big LIKE to Adobe's clever programmers for including features like these.

Is it possible to copy and paste a review quiz from on book into another?

I have a number of quizzes in an ibook which I have been using as a sand box.
There are 10 questions in each quiz.
I have copied and pasted a lot of the material from the trial ibook into a new book.
I would like to copy and paste the quizzes from the first book into the new new ibook also.
Is this possible?

Its possible to make a duplicate of the quiz within an ibook, but I have tried CUT and PASTE but it does not work even though they are both colored black in the menu.
As CUT and PASTE are colored black, I thought that it might somehow be possible to copy them from one ibook to another.
I can copy the complete section containing the quiz from the first ibook to the second ibook. If I could then copy the review quiz to the appropriate section in the second ibook, and then delete the copied section, it might work.
However, it still will not copy and paste the review quiz, only make a duplicate next to the original quiz.
