Dashboard, is there a way to copy the dictionary  answer to a looked up word?

is there a way to copy the dictionary  answer to a looked up word, copy and paste?Each time I highlight the defination the command copy will not work, is there a key sequence I need to use?

Works here, I just tested.  (I assume you're talking about the dictionary widget on the Dashboard.)
confused |kənˈfyo͞ozd|adjective(of a person) unable to think clearly; bewildered: she was utterly confused about what had just happened | a very confused and unhappy boy.
Are you sure you're pressing command-c, not something like control-c?  If you're new to Macs, the control-c keystroke from Windows may be so ingrained you're pressing that without realizing it.
Edit: Note that I didn't mean to imply you're not thinking clearly with the definition of the word I looked up, it was just the first word that popped into my mind!

  • I think the DVD player reader on my Mac is going bad. Is there a way to copy the files off of an Apple Install DVD onto an external drive and then do theinstall from the external drive?

    I think the DVD player reader on my Mac is going bad. Until I get it fixed Is there a way to copy the files off of an Apple Install DVD onto an external drive and then do theinstall from the external drive? It's ILife 11 if that makes a difference. Finder won't let me see the files to copy. I know - dumb question.
    Thanks.

    Adding an SSD is not a simple endeavour like adding additional memory or adding another hard drive to a Mac Pro. That's probably why the option is only offered as an option at the time of purchase. Even if your Apple store was willing to install the necessary parts you will probably be paying for 1-2 hours of labor plus the cost of purchasing the necessary service parts (SSD, bracket, cables, etc) which I suspect will make the upgrade cost much higher than what it costs to add the SSD option when purchasing a new system.
    I use my system for business and need it to work reliably.  Even though I'm fairly handy with tools I would not be willing to risk damaging my system and voiding my warranty by opening my system and removing the logic board and several other parts in order to squeeze in an SSD option and attach the appropriate cables and brackets. I'm also not prepared to deal with the hassles of explaining why my system has unauthorized parts installed in the event I experience issues and need to make use of my Apple warranty. My time is valuable, so I would probably investigate external storage options, or if I needed the speed of an SSD, I would consider selling my existing system and then purchase a new system configured with an SSD.
    If you haven't already done so I suggest doing a search on 'iMac SSD installation' to see what's involved. It might help you understand why the SSD option is not offered post purchase.

  • Is there a way to copy the effects on a fader to another project?

    I'm in Logic 8 now ... wondering if there is a way to copy the effects plug-ins (assigned to a particular track/fader in one project) to a track/fader in another project?
    Besides saving the 'effected' project to a new name and importing the audio tracks from the other project ...

    Thank you sereen, so simple.
    Much appreciated.

  • Is there a way to copy the backups to external drive

    After a rejuvenate is there a way to get the other backups copied to an external drive? When trying I get a message that says some file to read the backup is missing

    On the webpage... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A4 the box in the top right hand corner clearly states that the information on the A4 is iPad specific...
    and qualifies this under "history"
    "On June 7, 2010, Steve Jobs publicly confirmed that the iPhone 4 will contain the A4 Processor, although it is not yet known if it has the same frequency, bus width, or caches as the A4 found in the earlier produced iPad."
    http://www.macrumors.com/2010/06/22/teardown-of-iphone-4-512mb-ram-confirmed-and -other-notes/
    says that....
    [...}Checkup also shows that the iPhone 4 does have 512MB of RAM, but is unable to identify the speed of the processor.
    Has this changed recently or is everyone (review websites) jumping on the bandwagon just saying that the A4 processor is exactly he same as the iPad with no real proof? could it be under or indeed over clocked?
    .... even Apples own iPhone 4 website http://www.apple.com/uk/iphone/specs.html and http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html stops short of giving ANY information on the processor......
    All a bit odd really....

  • Is there a way to copy the notification rules?

    Hi,

  • We have two iPod touch 2nd generations, one had to be restored a few days ago and is now not able to have some of the apps back on it saying that they are incompatible with the iPod. Is there any way to "copy" the apps from 1 to the other??

    Is there any way to get an older version of the app that can be compatible or to "copy" the app from one iPod to the other?
    Or maybe to update the opperating system??

    you can by downloading iTunes to your computer/laptop but before plugging it in to the computer make sure all of your apps are on it then just sync the restored iPod to your computer and all of the apps on the computer will go to your iPod.. Good Luck

  • Is there a way to copy the OS that runs an AppleTV onto a computer?

    Since Apple has discontinued Front Row for the Mac, is there a way to buy or copy the OS/Application that runs an AppleTV and install it on a computer.

    Actually it looks like there is/was one way. I found it on google but I can't guarantee it'll work. It doesn't seem terribly complex either.

  • Is there any way to copy the music from my Ipod touch to my new laptop?

  • Is there any way to copy the iPad photostream onto my phone?

    I was recently on vacation and the pictures I was taking on my phone were not being pushed to photo stream. I stupidly turned photo stream off and back on, and lost all of the photos in photostream on my phone. Luckily, the photostream on my iPad is intact. My question is: is there any way I can push my iPad photostream to my iPhone so that my pictures are restored? Thank you in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try not to look on the photos on the iPad as being in photostream but rather as remnants from photostream, it would be a good idea to save them at the earliest opportunity. You can do this by navigating to the photostream thumbnail page, tapping on the rectangle with the arrow in the top right corner, selecting the photos and then choosing save from the options at the bottom of the page.
    Unfortunately getting them into photostream to have them appear on the iPhone is less straight forward. You could take screenshots of each photo, but you really would be better downloading the photos to a computer and adding them to photostream from there.

  • Is there any way to copy the numbers from the iPad stopwatch?

    I am doing some timestudies using the stopwatch in the clock app on an iPad mini.  Is there anyway to get the time out of the stopwatch and into notes or an e-mail?  I would like the text not just a screenshot of the stopwatch.

    No, you can't. There are stopwatch apps out there that have that feature, but the default iOS app can not. I agree, it should have that feature.

  • Is there a way to copy captions from Aperture to iLife applications?

    I've entered a bunch of info into Aperture in the caption metadata field. I want to publish some of my photos using iLife applications......iDVD, iWeb. Is there any way to copy the info in my captions field so that I can attach the same info in the comments/caption field in the other apps?
    I'm new at this......so, I'm looking for some help. One of the reasons I want to use iWeb is that it will allow me to make a blog - so that viewers can respond to each photo. I'm trying to identify people in photos....and I already have a lot of info in the caption field and want to display it on the Internet.
    thanks!

    If nothing else works, you will have to export the images with metadata included and then reimport those images into your other applications. There may be a better way though -- I'm not an iWeb user.
