HT2523 hello, I am working in text edit...

I lost a document?? and as I am looking for it...every picture I am opening is coming up all jumbled in code.
What happened? and how do I rectify?
Thank you

Looks something like this?
As far as I know, TextEdit can't directly open "pictures". You can certainly open a picture file in Preview and copy and paste it into TextEdit, but I don't think that you can open a .jpg, for example, file.

Try opening Disk Utility in your Applications-Utilities folder and repair permissions.

HT2523 My screen is frozen in text edit ( the swirling lollipop) how do I close the screen or exit

While using text edit my screen froze, now I have the spinning beach ball, or spinning lollipop, but I cannot close the text edit screen. I was transferring data from a web sit when this occurred perhaps too much data??? made this happen not sure but I resorted to using Pages which I am not familiar with at all. Any instructions and explanation would be appreciated. Thank you.

I don't need the points, but for future reference, if someone here helps with/solves your problem, it is nice to indicate they did that. You indicated you solved your own problem

Application Keyboard Shortcuts not working in Text Edit

Under System Preferences (Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Application Keyboard Shortcuts -> All Applications), I changed some basic keyboard shortcuts (Copy, Paste, etc.) to use the ctrl key instead of the command key. These shortcuts seem to work well in the basic applications I use (MS Office, Firefox, etc.)
However, they do not work in TextEdit. I did verify that the Menu name in I entered in System Preferences matches exactly the way it appears in TextEdit.
Anyone else have the same problem? Any ideas on how to resolve it? I would very much like this fixed since my switching between Windows (in Parallels) and Mac OS X is seamless except for the fact that I have to remember different keyboard shortcuts in each OS. Thanks in advance!

HT2509 Font Book not working correctly? or Text Edit not working correctly?

I downloaded a font onto Font Book and it works perfectly on Font Book and all the characters and symbols come up correctly, as they should. Then when I use it on Text Edit, it replaces the ', " and @ with a $ sign. What can I do to fix this, or is it unfixable? I'm using a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and I'm not sure what could be causing this situation.

It does that because that's the way the lazy person who created this font built it. Here's the layout of the font you're having trouble with:
Now compare it to the OS X supplied font Andale Mono:
Note on the third line, second from the right that Andale Mono has an @ symbol in the "at" position. The person who created the font you downloaded types a $ sign because that's what they put there, along with dozens of other glyph positions (must have really loved how they drew that $ sign). Which when you look where the quote and apostrophe are, they are also filled with the $ glyph.
The font is a piece of junk. Delete it.

I cant copy/paste from an article to my web site, get a Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.HELP

Tried to copy/paste from an article to my web site and got a "cannot copy /paste " warning and was directed to a security perferences site that said that Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.
Tried to find my Firefox profile directory using the start menu and was directed to hit enter to go to web. Feel like i am getting run around.

Let's start with something very basic, and that is, you do not need to use the paste button on most websites. The button just reads what is on your clipboard and sticks it into the form. You can do that yourself using Ctrl+v or right-click>Paste.
For your security, I suggest using those standard Windows keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+x cut, Ctrl+c copy, Ctrl+v paste) or the context menu.
Occasionally you will find a paste button that runs a clean-up script or otherwise does something useful. That is where the (admittedly a bit complicated) instructions come in handy.
To open your active profile folder, you can use:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Which help article are you using for the modifications?
Finally, please be cautious in opening up your clipboard to sites. You may have stuff you copied from other pages or other programs that you do not want to share with most sites.

Text edit app not working after Secupdate 007

Pismo running 10.3.9 showing issues with textedit application which worked fine prior to update.
When attempting to open an existing .txt file the beach ball spins for awhile and then does nothing. Finder window stays in front. When running through the dock, it shows textedit open, but textedit will not appear in menu bar.
I thought it might just be prior documents. After force quitting, I can open text edit app on its own with a new page showing. I can type in it, but when I attempt to save, the same issue shows. It just hangs.
Ran applejack and
I trashed textedit.plist thinking corrupted, but to no avail.
Any ideas on how to get this going?
Thanks!

Hanuman,
If you have cleaned all the possible cache files with AppleJack (plus run the other functions), one possible fix for problems that develop after a Security Update or OSX version update is to download/install the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update on top of your installed 10.3.9.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
If you don't have another User account, create one named 'Test' if you wish, then log into the 'Test' account. If TextEdit works normally, then you know your problem lies in your Home account. A quick and dirty test for solving some problems in your Home account is to go to your Home account <yourusername>/Library and drag the Preferences folder to the desktop, then log out/in to your Home account and see if the problem is resolved. If corrected, the problem lies in the Preferences folder on the desktop. Most prefs will be re-created as you use the computer, but save the old Preferences folder in the event there is one or more pref that you want to stick back in the new Prefs folder.

Only safari and text edit work

2 days ago my mac power cable was pulled out of the wall. When I turned the Mac Mini back on only programs such as Safari, Dashboard, and text edit worked. I can go to system preferences but that is all. All of my desktop icons have been deleted. itunes, iDVD, iCal, and others such as america online, and AIM do not work. When I shut the computer down and restart it a screen with a blinking folder with a question mark alternating with the mac logo appears and then starts up as normally. I do not have the CDs that came with the computer, is there anything i can do?

"I do not have the CDs that came with the computer, is there anything i can do?"
It is possible to call Apple and pay them their fee to have them to send you some replacements.
Forunately Apple isn't exactly like Microsoft requiring you to pay for a new retail version of their software.

SQL Window Text Edits Not Working

I've been using SQL Developer 1.5.1 for some time now and it has worked great. Just recently, I'm not able to do simple text edits in the SQL window. I run sql queries constantly and have had to go back to an older version of SQL Developer. I have no idea what I may have done to cause this.
I can type in the sql window, but I cannot move my cursor to any part of the entered text. I cannot move to a new line [Enter key], or back space, or delete text. I can highlight text and delete it, but simple text edits do not work.
Has anyone experienced this and if so, is there a known cause and/or fix?
I have no idea on how to uninstall this version and reinstall it. I've tried deleting the files and re-running the zip, but my old settings are still present.
Help?

I had exactly the same problem and the Tools/Options/Accelerator/Load Preset fixed it. Thanks a lot!!!!

HT2523 What is the difference between Pages and Text Edit? Pros and Cons?

I just purchased a Macbook Pro, and I am currently exploring its features. I see that it comes with Text Edit, which seems to be its form of Microsoft Word...but I also know that you can purchase "Pages" for the computer. What is the difference? Pros and cons of each? I will be a freshman in college in the fall, so I need something that I can do lots of writing and editing on.

TextEdit is a simple basic text editor. Far from what MS Word can do. This is Pages:
