Help! I downloaded Firefox, because I need it to deal with a particular website. Only, I can't cut and paste MY OWN FILES! It tells me I need to adjust my 'profile'. Yet all the packaged instructions don't make sense.

I'm told that I need to change 'profile' settings, yet I cannot seem to do this.

I've started getting pop-under ads every time I launch Firefox, and the uninstall instructions don't make sense, how can I stop these?

In the past couple of weeks, every time I launch Firefox, a full-size pop-under ad is also launched, regardless of what site I'm browsing.
The original ad was for a You Tube survey, and contains a link to coupondropdown.com, where there's a menu option for uninstalling. The uninstall instructions don't make sense, they don't mention what ad-on is controlling the ads, and I can't work out what's responsible for the ads from my very basic range of ad-ons.
The reason I'm writing is that the ads have progressed from annoying but harmless, to dangerous. The ad today was designed as a warning pop-up, text reads, "Threat Detected: Immediate Action Required. Fatal Registry Error ... click "Repair All" to eliminate all possible threats and clean your PC". I have screenshots of all the above.
I'm worried that another user, my son or mother, might take this warning seriously and install malware by accident. What can I do to prevent these ads? I expect this type of malware advertising on dodgy websites, but I'm getting them when I try to access hotmail, the news, etc, so it's not the website that's causing them.

Found the source using Microsoft Safety Scanner on a full scan. The culprit was a Trojan:Win32/Sirefef!cfg

I can't cut and paste and the mac doesn't see me as the admin

Okay so here are my current frustrations and issues:
1. I can't cut and paste anything! Not from emails, not in documents, nothing.
2. I went to make changes in the utilities and when I started, under my name, it said admin and now it says standard and the computer won't allow me to make changes. I try to enter my name and password and the computer says I am not the admin.
3. I can't delete the "test" user and "guest" user because apparantly there is no admin.
I have rebooted using the install disk and I was able to change the passwords but I still can't get in as the admin.
Is there a way to override this before I a) pull out all of my hair, my husbands hair and the hair belonging to my cat and/or b) before I throw the machine out the window and then have another frustration that the unit is not working?!

First back up all your data, if you haven't done so already.
Boot in safe mode (shift key down at startup) and check to see whether the clipboard now works. If it does, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and try again.
Next, boot in single-user mode by restarting the computer and holding down the Command and S keys at the chime, until you see white text on a black background. Wait for the text to stop scrolling, then follow the instructions on the screen, which will tell you run the fsck and mount commands. Be very, very careful to type the commands correctly. After you enter the mount command, please enter this:
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
Then this:
exit
The Mac will now boot up as if for the first time. Go through the setup procedure to create a new admin account with the same name and password as the old one.

Can not cut and paste in 10.5.5 in on user profile but other users fine

Hi, all,
We have an 24" iMac running 10.5.5 (with all latest updates). Pretty simple machine, nothing fancy on it, just simple machine. One of the 5 users on it can not cut and paste, but other users can just fine. I can not find anything much on this. Any & all advice is most appreciated.
Thank you.

I very much appreciate the suggestion, I do, and please do not take this the wrong way, thank you again for taking the time to try to help me, but ..... I am not going to take a bazooka to this ant hill on this specific issue for this user.
We're talking about hours & ours of work, maybe more, to find out why cut-n-paste (ie: Apple+C and Apple-V) do not work & that ought to be findable & correctable as a single issue with a single action.
If it is not, then I guess that is another issue isnt it, and I'll be taking that up with the manufacturer.
I continue to look for the "right"(tm) solution.
+note to "discussions site webmaster": why would this form as the poster for the OS & model & details of their post again (ie: when theyre replying here, to someone else, as I am here). Do we think that those items have changed in the last hour since the first post? Not only does it ask again, youre required to answer them again since they dont "remember" the poster's first answers, since it would confuse everyone to not answer, since the defaults are incorrect (ie: the defaults arent even the latest stable software versions).+

I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages. If I type it won't

I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages. If I type it won't continue in Hebrew. I have tried downloading several fonts, including those from professional societies, but the only way to get Hebrew in my document is to cut and paste. Does anyone know how to fix this? I use an older MacBook running OS 10.9.1. I used to do my Hebrew work in Word, but it is no longer supported by Mac OS.

Just clarifying:
Pages '09 has bad support for Hebrew, Arabic etc but will accept pasted text.
Pages 5 has much better support but with bugs.
If you have columns they are in the wrong order ie Text starts in the left column and ends in the right column.
If you type English into Hebrew text it tends to fall in the wrong position eg instead of to the left of Hebrew punctuation it goes to the right.
As Tom recommends the only real solution on the Mac is Mellel.

btw Tell Apple, they are amazingly slow to fix this running sore which has been broken since RtoL was supposedly introduced in OSX 10.2.3 over a decade ago.

Can I cut and paste directions obtained via maps into a word doc or something so I can see them if I can't connect to the internet

Can I cut and paste directions form maps into a word doc - or save it somewhere on my iPad so I can access it when I can't access the Internet?

Take a screen short.
Simultaneously press the Sleep and Home button. You will notice an on-screen flash. If you have sound enabled, you will hear a camera click.

Great tip Stephen!!
I was so frustated from this issue that I used to use Windows iTunes for mass editing info, adding Lyrics etc and then transfering songs to Mac. This tip has alleviated my pain!!
Thanks for the tip. This question should be tagged as answered.

How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

You are trying to copy a link, it is most likely in a different color such as the words "Microsoft's own forums" in his post. In Word highlight the word or words, control click on them, select Hyperlink, then Edit Hyperlink, then delete the link from the top box. It will then have a button asking if you want to "Remove Link", click on it.

I can use cut and paste in Rich Text Editors for all web site hosts but one. I have tried the solution you provided, but it doesn't work. Any ideas? the website that rejects cut and paste is Network Solutions

I really hoped you would fix the security policy issue in release 4. I have to close Firefox and use IE9 to maintain a website I built with Network Solutions and I'd much rather not have to endure the slowness of IE. I also have websites with Wix and WEBS and have no problems at all using cut and paste with them.

Did you have it connected to the library mac when it froze? If so, why? I would be hesitant to hook my ipod to a unprotected public computer since it may be infested with viruses or have unknown hardware problems.
In any case, if you can get it to an Apple store they can probably help you with it, it sounds like it needs replacing.
A certain percentage of any complex product will turn out to be defective and will have to be returned, it sounds like you were unlucky enough to get one. Looking over the forums here it may seem like the ipod is plagued with bugs, but don't forget that there are millions who never have a problem and so have no reason to pipe up here. Personally I think Apple deserves a thumbs up for continuing to host these forums in spite of how they may cast a negative light on thier products to the casual observer.

Since yesterday clicking on a link in an email message firefox doesn't open a new tab with that particular website.

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 on a 2009 Mac Pro computer (OSX 10.6.6). Up until yesterday when I clicked on a link in an email message Firefox opened a new tab and switched to that particular website. Since yesterday Firefox doesn't do that. I have Firefox set up as my default browser. I tried to change my default browser to Safari, then everything worked fine. Clicking on a link in a message a new tab has opened in Safari with that particular website. My problem is, that I like Firefox a bit more than Safari and I'd like to know what to do to restore that functionality to Firefox.

It's a good idea to try disabling Flash completely and see whether the problem continues. If it does, then my guess is incorrect. To test that, open this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
Here you can locate Shockwave Flash and use the Disable button. Keep this tab open for easy access when doing your test.
''If your test confirms that Flash is causing the problem,'' then the other thread has two suggested workarounds. The first is simple to understand (keep some Flash running at all times) but may be inconvenient to do all the time. The second is trickier because it requires editing a file in (or creating and then dragging a file into) a system folder. Fortunately you only need to do it once.

I synced with new computer, lost apps. reinstalled but Office HD docs that we're not lost when I reinstalled will not cut and paste. Will I need to use only new documents to cut and paste?

I synced my IPad2 with a new computer and lost all apps. I reinstalled apps. When I reinstalled the Office2HD, all documents were still ther, but I am trying to cut and paste one and it is not allowing? Will I need to save new documents there for this function to work?

There are dozens of possibilities, Lisa.
Which C50-A do you have? There is a label on the bottom.
What security applications do you have installed? Webroot is a common offender.
Do you have Microsoft Office installed? If so, which version?
Do you use Bluetooth?
Did you upgrade to Windows 8.1 properly, following carefully the instructions here?
   How to Update from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1

Then see if that trouble occurs after a clean boot.
   1. Open the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe). You can do that by typing msconfig at the Start screen and pressing Enter.
   2. On the Services tab, set the Hide all Microsoft services check box and then click Disable all.
   3. On the Startup tab, click Open Task Manager, right-click and disable each Startup item. Then close Task Manager.
   4. Back on the System Configuration screen, click OK, and restart the computer.

Can't cut and paste lyrics into the "lyrics" tab in "Get Info."

I have the latest version of iTunes for Mac, but today I tried to cut and paste the lyrics to a song into the lyrics tab and it refuses to paste. I don't even get an option to paste. Nothing happens when I right click to paste. The cursor is blinking but no paste. It's shut off. I can copy the lyrics off the internet site fine, but when I go into the File>Get Info>Lyrics Tab, can't paste anything. Anybody experience this problem?

Hi Patys,
I have already posted the solution twice and you can read it by scrolling up in this topic!

With PS 7 create new Place two objects on the new file then you may cut copy and paste Cs2 create new place two object on the new file Cut is not available how does one cut and paste in new file

With PS 7
create new
Place two objects on the new file
then you may cut copy and paste
Cs2
create new
place two object on the new file
Cut is not available how does one cut and paste in new file

If your using File>Place then photoshop cs2 creates what's known as Smart Objects, which photoshop 7 didn't have.
In photoshop cs2 you can rasterize the smart objects and that should make the Cut function available.
Select both placed layers, right click on the area to the right of the tumbnail and select Rasterize Layers.
If in photoshop cs2 you to Help>Photoshop Help and look under Layers>Smart Objects, that should give you a good overview of what smart objects are.

Can you cut and paste in the iphone?

Any information on cutting and pasting in the iphone is appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Unfortunately the iPhone does not support Copy & Paste. Though as we have already seen, a great deal of functionality has already been added to the device via free software updates so it would be possible for it to be implemented in the future.

Can i cut and paste a month from my iCal into an email, including all the graphics?

i'd like to send someone my calendar from iCal one month at a time with events for specific responsibilities via email. is this possible? thanks so much!

You can of course email them a screenshot of your calendar in month view, but if what you want is for them to have your events in their calendar, you would need to export your calendar, email them the ics file and they can then import it. However, this process does not allow for selection by date, so you would be sending them all events, past, present and future. You could of course edit the ics file before sending, to eliminate all events outside the time window.
You could take advantage of the fact that iCal will maintain multiple calendars for you. Make one called December, one January etc and put events for a month in the appropriately-named calendar, which you can then select for export and email. If you set the month calendars to auto-delete past events, then when you come to reuse a month it will only have one month's events in it.
