How can I cut and past on imac without a left and right click on mouse?

Trouble cut and pasting on an imac since mouse has no right and left clicks...how can I highlight something and cut and paste somewhere else?

Holding the Mouse button down and dragging across text should highlight it, and Command-C Command-V should allow you to copy/paste.

  • How can I transfer photos from my  iMac to my iPad and not lose the ones already stored on the iPad.

    How can I transfer photos from my  iMac to my iPad and not lose the ones already stored on the iPad?  When using iTunes to sync a folder from the iMac to the iPad it always removes anything previously synced.
    Help appreciated
    David

    I've just found out the reason for this behaviour. I am syncing from a computer which is different to the one I first synced with. iTunes can't cope with this situation so deletes anything synced from another source.

  • How can I format my intell based imac without the original Tiger discs? I have a user account on it that I dont want. I have upgraded to Snow Leopard but I want to to star affresh. Thank you.

    How can I format my intell based imac without the original Tiger discs? I have a user account on it that I dont want. I have upgraded to Snow Leopard but I want to to start affresh. Thank you. I have tried loading the Snow Leopard disc whilst holding down th C key but it goes straight into install mode. I am new to Macs and I have inherited this machine.

    Hello, many options...
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
       3. Click the Erase tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion do a new install.
    Or...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.

  • How can I get bootcamp on my iMac without a CD drive?

    So I open up Boot Camp Assistance, and every option involves a CD drive, but apparently there are ways to do it without one?
    Thanks in advance!

    If you have a built-in Optical drive, it must be functional. If it is not, you can install Windows on a different Mac and use Winclone to move it to the iMac. I would not advice on the BC info.plist modifications.

  • In 4.1, how can I get rid of the Status bar (bottom left or right corners)?...It is very annoying in some pogo games I play.

    The status bar appears at the bottom corner of the page, covering up ongoing info at the bottom of my pogo game page. If I hover the cursor over top of it, it moves to the other bottom corner....very annoying to have it pop up like that.

  • How can i cut the audio from 1 file and put it on another?

    I have these2 files of the same movie, 1 is amazing quality but theres no audio. the other is crummy quality but has perfect audio. How can I cut the audio from the good audio version and paste it onto the good video file?
    btw i have quicktime pro is that changes anything

    Open the movie and press "Command J". This will bring up the properties window. Click on the Audio Track or Video Track and the "Extract/Delete" buttons will light up. Click "Delete" and it'll delete the currently selected track, click "Extract" and it will extract the selected track into a new movie. Just use Delete on the correct track and you're halfway there.
    Then, select the movie that is just an Audio Track now, do "Command A" then "Command C" to copy the audio track. Go to the movie that's just a video track, move the insertion point to the beginning of the video then do "Option Command V" to add the Audio Track to the Video Track side by side.

  • In iMovie 11, how can you cut/paste a clip that has subtitles and actually have the subtitles get cut/pasted. When I try, the subtitles disappear into the void and I have to do the subtitling all over again.

  • Edit is greyed out, how can I cut and paste

    when I want to copy something from a web page, I click on the orange "Firefox" but the edit option is greyed out and not usable. How can I cut, copy, and paste in this new format?

    You can do one of the following after you have highlighted what you want to copy:
    *click the Firefox button, the middle icon (looks like 2 pages with folded corners) will be available for clicking; that icon is "Copy" if you rest your cursor over the icon
    *click the Firefox button, click the small triangle at the far right of Edit, click "Copy"
    *in Windows, click Ctrl+C to "Copy" (Ctrl+V will "Paste")
    I have "Copy", "Paste" and "Cut" buttons on the Customize Palette which you can drag to a toolbar. To open the Customize toolbar window, click Firefox button > Options > Toolbar Layout; if using the Menu Bar, click View > Toolbars > Customize.

  • 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.

    To the best of my knowledge, unless the datasource and the field names are the same in both reports, you'll have to change them in the second report.
    Cut and paste takes the text as is and does not do any intelligent updates based on the datasourec & field names.

  • Can't drag and drop nor copy  and past with iMac with OS 10.8.1.

    Can't drag and drop nor copy and past with iMac with OS 10.8.1.  Not with iTunes, MS Word, nor Pages.  No where.  Reboot or relogging in helps for about an hour.  Hard reset worked for a short time. Per Apple support, most likely will reinstall the operation system.  Just wondered if anybody else has run into this.  Did a disk scan, and that was fine.  And did rebooting, holding down CMD+OPT+R, and P..  Deleted all the start up programs.  Checked the internet, no solutions there.  So it all appears to be OS redo time.
