How do I cut and past on my MACBOOK PRO?

You can use the hotkeys, as Steve said. It sort of sounds as if you can't right click though.
If you're using the touchpad, go into system preferences>trackpad, enable "secondary click, tap with 2 fingers". Then, when you click/tap the touchpad with 2 fingers instead of one, it'll right click, giving you the option to copy/paste whatever you highlighted.

  • How do you cut and paste files from a Macbook?

    I am trying to cut (edit, select all, cut) and paste from a Macbook Pro, but when I try to paste into an external hard-drive, the paste function is greyed-out.  Command V doesn't even do anything.  How can I complete this simple task?  Thank you. 

    The hard drive is probably not Mac-writeable - likely it's NTFS (Windows) format.
    If it's empty, you can reformat it to Mac format using Disk Utility.
    If it has files that you need and/or you don't want to reformat, you can try Paragon NTFS to allow you to write to the drive.

    Press and hold command as you're dragging and dropping: that will move the file, in stead of copying it.
    Two other things that might be handy:
    * option-drag will force a copy, even if the file is on the same volume
    * command-option-drag will make an alias to the file/folder.

    how do you cut and paste on an imac

    If you're talking about cut and paste as you would do with files and folder on a Windows box you do it in a round about way.
    Either Copy ⌘C, (Yes copy not cut), and then move, ⌘⌥V (a variation on paste ⌘V).
    If you're a mouser.
    Right click the File and choose Copy from.....
    The right click the folder you want to move it to but hold down the option key and Paste item.....
    ...will change to Move item here.

    Highlight the item.
    Finder>Edit>Copy
    Place the item where you want to
    Finder>Edit>Paste
    There is 3rd party software that makes cut & paste easier with just 1 or 2 steps. 
    Q2 how do I correct a spelling error when it has a red line under it?
    You can find the correct spelling in the Apple dictionary.  Just add the correct spelling & delete the error.
    Care to share which OS you are using and which model iMac you have? 

  • 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

    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.

  • How do I cut and paste an appointment and change the appointment date?

    I have just moved to the Iphone 3GS after many years on Windows Mobiles so it's all new to me, but how do I cut and paste appointment information?
    I also need to be able to change the date of an appointment, but could not figure out how.
    Thx
    Bryce

    That's fine for changing an appointment date, but is there a way to "copy" an appointment and paste it into a new date so that the date of the original appointment isn't lost?
    For example, I have an appointment that occurs every 4-5 weeks, and we set the future date at our meetings, but I need to be able to go back and review earlier when earlier meeting dates took place to be able to track milestones. If I simply change the current appointment date I'll lose that history.
    In Outlook I can simply copy and paste an appointment into a new date, but I'd like to be able to do so from my phone for when I'm not in my office. How can I do this?

  • How do I cut and paste?  I want to change the background around a Christmas tree

    How do I cut and paste in Elements 10.  I want to change the background around a Christmas tree.

    One way would be to open the background image, then go to File<Place and select your christmas tree image.
    Now you have two layers.
    Make a selection of the christmas tree with the Quick Selection Tool and then add a layer mask.
    Now you can see the background around the tree.
    Of course your selection may still need some tweaking, so you could paint on the layer mask to further refine the selection.
    What version of photoshop elements?
    example before: (didn't have a chritmas tree image handy)
