DW CS6 for OS X: Copy and Paste HTML

I'm in the process of converting to a Mac, and have been stymied by the following issue.
When pasting a URL in Design View from an email or webpage, the underlying link disappears, turning my link into plain text.
For example, this:
Dreamweaver Help | What's new in CS6
becomes this:
Dreamweaver Help | What's new in CS6
I get a lot of emails with updates to websites I maintain, so having to manually copy URLs and recode them in the Properties window increases my workload by an enormous amount.
I can't figure out if this is a Mac issue (copying URLs from Safari to Mail works fine) or a Dreamweaver issue, or some combination thereof. Anyone have any ideas how I can get this to work how I need it to?
Mac OS X (Lion) and DW CS6.
(P.S. I need to do this in Design View, because I am often working with large quantities of already-formatted text with URLs embedded. Having to re-create the wheel and re-type is not part of my workflow!)

Interesting because no such problems in Windows System. Could you check your preferences to see if they look like this (click on the image to get a bigger one):
If your settings isn't like mine then perhaps changing it might solve the problem.
Good luck and post back with any feedback.

[CS6] How can I copy and paste a rectangle or other shapes?

[Photoshop CS6]
I want to copy and paste a simple rectangle.
I drawed a rectangle with the Rectangle Tool.
I marked it with the Move Tool.
If I go to Edit->Copy and then to Copy->Paste
I see still only one rectangle. Could be
one is overlayed by the other but I don't
know how to separate them afterwards.
So I tried to move the first rectangle to another place
before click on Edit->Paste.
I then get a copy of the first rectangle. But the problem is that they
react as they would be one shape and not as two differnt shapes.
I can only move the two rectangles as they would be one shape
and they are also marked as they would be one shape.
And I can only mark them as they would be one rectangle.
But I want two independent rectangles.
How can I in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste rectangles or other shapes so
that the copy is independent of the original shape?

Hi there,
You can have both copies in the same shape layer, but you will not be able to move them as separate objects anymore. To merge them into the same shape layer select both layers in the layers pallete by holding down CTRL and clicking on a PC or holding down Command and clicking on a Mac:
Then click the Panel menu in the layers pallete:
Then choose Merge Shapes from the pop up menu that appears:
And that's it! Now both shapes will be in the same shape layer.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further clarification or if you have any other questions. : )

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.

Too many options for cut, copy and paste

I have recently removed version 29 which was installed without my permission and reverted to version 28, which was FAR better. I now have a number of right click options for highlight, cut, copy and paste from web pages. I don't see anywhere to attach screenshots but I have FOUR of them, all showing different options for highlight, cut, copy or paste and they are all ridiculous. What can I do to resolve this?
Cheers.
OK. Screenshots added.
1) Dozens of options, of which only cut, copy, paste are needed for the highlighted text. The text is not a video, is not an audio file, is not a plugin, stupid to set as desktop, cannot be deleted.
2) Highlighted text is NOT a link.
3) Duh. No idea what this right click option is about.
4) This is the only right click option I want. Unfortunately, it only appears about once in fifty right clicks.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.
If this "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you will have to sign in once again.
Details like websites remembering you (log you in automatically) are stored in a cookie.
*Create a cookie 'allow' exception to keep such cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Cookies
*do not clear the Site Preferences
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-browsing-search-and-download-history
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep.

Since downloading 29.0.1 I can no longer cut, copy and paste. So frustrating!!!

I often copy and paste items into website forums with no problem. However, since I upgraded to 29.0.1 I can no longer do that and it's so frustrating. I have tried doing the extra steps of clicking on your copy and paste items but that doesn't help. I even tried uploading the AllowClipboard Helper but that didn't work either. I never needed that add-on in the past.
This is ridiculous.
How do I revert back to version 28? It worked fine but you just had to go ahead and "fix" it and I hate the new version. I was able to download the Classic Theme Restorer which helped a lot but some things I could not make like the version 28.

karen,
You don't need that user.js file any longer for those cut, copy, and paste preferences.
There is a Classic Theme Restorer support thread over here. <br />

They'll be able to help you get rid of that orange Firefox button, which isn't needed if you have the Menu Bar showing.

Copy and Paste not working in the apple email app

I have an iPhone 3GS and copy and paste works fine everywhere else. For some reason, copy and paste will not function in the email app. Is this normal? When advertising copy and paste, Apple's website describes being able to copy and paste in email. I understand that paste shouldn't show up when reading a received email, only copy or select. But I am getting no options. The weird thing is, if I double tap a word or paragraph, the highlighting tool shows up. I am able to adjust what text is highlighted with the "bars." But once I take my finger off the highlighting tool, no option menu pops up. The text remains highlighted with no ability to click copy. Also, the highlighting tool only appears if I double tap. If I hold my finger down, a magnifying glass appears with a curser (but no keyboard b/c it is a received message) yet if I take my finger off, a "select" or "select all" doesn't appear. Clearly something has to be wrong right, otherwise why would I be able to highlight text? Anyone else have this issue/ know how to fix it / suggested troubleshooting tips?

copy&paste does behave differently in mail than other apps... i have found that if you hold for the magnifier to appear then slightly drag left and let go you then get the select button...
while in other apps just tapping grabs the selection... it's def. different in mail but it is there!

Can't Copy and Paste in Finder

Hello,
I have the latest Mountain Lion release on a 2009 iMac.
I have recently encountered a problem that keeps bugging me. It's impossible for me to copy and paste a file in Finder. alt+Dragging will work, but CMD+C followed by CMD+V or going through the menus will not work.
Pressing CMD+C or going through the EDIT menu and selecting Copy seems to work, but Pasting isn't possible.
Does anyone have any idea as to how I can solve this?
Thank you,

Barney,
Thanks for the help.
I have neither of these apps installed.
After trying in safe mode, it appears that these commands do work! So if I understand well I must look through all the apps that launch when I login so I can pinpoint which one is causing the trouble?
That's pretty much it. Do you know of any other program you've installed that would modify the Finder?

Copy and Paste formatting

Hello, I am running into problems copying and pasting HTML information from my e-mails. I run a real estate website, and on a Windows, it was easy to just copy and paste a listing that was e-mailed to me, and the formatting and pictures would be preserved in the same formatting. I am wondering if there is a way to do this on a Mac, because as of now when I paste, it simply pastes the text unformatted, and without a picture. Is there a workaround? I am using Mail and Dreamweaver 8.
Thanks
Ryan

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately mail HTML formatting is different for every e-mail client. Your best bet is to get some web space and put up the HTML files you want on a website, and just point a link to your clients to visit that website.
Just be sure to follow http://www.w3.org/ standards, and use known coding techniques for making the HTML viewable in any web browser, such as those outlined by http://www.anybrowser.org/

Cannot copy and paste text into Photoshop CS6

I am not able to copy and paste text from non-Adobe programs (like Keynote or Word) into Photoshop CS6. I get an error message reading "Could not complete the Paste Text command because the clipboard data is empty or invalid." I have tried shutting down Photoshop, shutting down other programs, re-starting my computer, adjusting my Preferences and asking Adobe for help by phone and chat. I am on a new iMac and have no third party plug-ins installed. Can anyone help?

Yesterday i update Yosemite and Adobe Photoshop CS6
i found error text message like you everytime when i used fontAwesome on Adobe Photoshop CS6 and then i found out to fix this problems Yeahh…
Try My Way to fix it out
-> copy The Text you want to use
-> paste your text (from your clipboard) To App TextEdit
-> then Copy again
-> back to Photoshop paste it on your document layout
-> Done

Copy and paste from CS5.5 to CS6 help

I work at a newspaper and we recently upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6.
When I open my CS5.5 documents to copy and paste type it shows up like a graphic in CS6.
If I make a text box and paste the type into it, it is unformatted.
If I copy and paste an image from CS5.5 and paste it into my CS6 InDesign document it appears, but not as a linked file.
Why would this be different now with CS6? It is really a hinderance considering we use parts of ads over and over again in the newspaper industry.
Thank you for the help.

Hi there.
I haven't upgraded to CS6 yet, but I'm having this very problem with InDesign CS5.5. If I copy and paste the box in InDesign - vector or text - it pastes as an image. If I copy/cut selected text with text tool - even if it's copying and pasting in the SAME text box - it pastes unformatted. This happens across all documents, but most irritatingly when working in the same InDesign document.
Checked all preferences in InDesign and even cross referenced it with another Mac with the same version, but every setting was the same. Adobe won't help unless it's CS6 annoyingly, well they will if I pay!
Other than removing and reinstalling the whole package, I can't think of what else to do!
