HT3708 Can I not paste a URL into the field? It keeps beeping at me.

Whenever I try to paste a URL into the link field, I get the beep alert. Does Apple seriously expect people to type in entire URLs?

It means you have an illegal character in your clipboard eg a return or some non-basic alpha-numeric character.
Or it contains styling information or something preceeding the http etc.

Is there a way to paste an URL into the file selection dialog box?

Hi,
I would like to share on Friendfeed.com images that I find on websites. On Windows, I click on "Add - photos" and I can paste the URL of the image directly into the dialogue box.
On my Mac 10.6.6, I can't find a way to do that: the dialog box only allows me to click on a file's name, I can't paste anything. So I have to save the image on my disk, and then upload it on Friendfeed.
It's not a big deal, but still more cumbersome.
Is there a way for me to avoid saving the image on my hard drive?
thanks for any help that will come this way

Thomas, you really need to relax I just asked a simple technical question: is X technically possible?
There were only two meaningful answers to that: yes and no.
But, no, you and others started to imply there were some dark issues of image copyright infringement, which - if I was not very relaxed myself - would be offending. You don't know what images I'm talking about, so why in the world did you start by assuming that I was infringing copyright?
(read again my previous answers to you, and you'll see I was not condoning infringement. I was simply saying it was not an issue here). Are you going around the web entering any discussion about how guns work, warning that killing people is a crime? What about knifes? Car forums and speed limits? (I could go on, as you can imagine).
But, since we're talking about copyright, you may want to lower your expectations about how "easily" you could sue me. The world - and its legal systems - is quite a different thing from the USA, you know.
Finally, about Friendfeed. Read again what I wrote (leaving aside all the copyright concerns that are distracting you ) and you'll see I mentioned that of course there's a "normal" way to enter the Url. It's just two different actions, with two different results. One of these actions is apparently not possible with a Mac. Too bad. As for Friendfeed being a crappy website: I see you're a web developer. I wish you to be as successful a developer as the people who created Friendfeed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Taylor). Some of its functionalities were years ahead of the competition, which is why they have been acquired by Facebook, and today - after more than a year with no development whatsoever - they still make for a very good social network. Go and have a look at it, you may learn a thing or two.
(I wrote finally, but I was wrong). One more thing: I couldn't resist, and I took a look at your webpage and resumé. I'm not going to write here what you did from "August 1997 to August 2007" (although it's public, so it shouldn't be a problem). But let me express my full appreciation for that! (I'm serious).
cheers!

Adobe Photoshop asked me to copy and paste a URL into my "browser" to confirm my e-mail address. What, and where, is my Browser? How do I do that?

Upon register with Adobe Photoshop, they asked me to copy and paste a URL into my "browser" to confirm my e-mail address. What, and where, is my Browser? How do I do that?

If this has arrived in an email from Adobe, it's probably legitimate.
Usually though, you can click the link and it will confirm your registration automatically.
Otherwise copy it and then paste it into the location bar.

Firefox 6 will not allow you to paste a cookie into the addressbar like all previous versions have. I use software to replace web chat and must do this and have been able to do it in all past versions. What's the deal?

Thank you for your response.
After searching around for any pointers to my problem, the above fixes I listed were the things that came closest to maybe addressing the issue, that I was able to locate. But since none worked, and as you pointed out, it is now clear they will only help towards viewing sent images rather than helping with inserting any images in the body of the email, which is the problem I suddenly started facing today.
Coming to your suggestion, on opening the Write window, the Insert choice on the menu bar is indeed available. And I had already tried using that, by clicking on the '''Insert ----> Image''' option listed. That opens
up the "Image Properties" box but using that has not resolved the matter either. It results in an image box getting inserted within the email but without the actual image itself.
Plus, normally I am able to use the '''Paste''' function in the Edit menu or through right-click, but today the (Cut/Copy/Paste) functions have gone inactive, thereby disallowing me to use that to place an image within the email.

Why can't I paste formatted text into Firefox?

Very simple question. When I try to paste rich text into text field in Firefox (text with hyperlinks added, bolded etc.), Firefox strips all of that out.
Case in point: I added a link to a piece of text in Evernote for Mac. Copied it. Went to Tumblr, pasted it in... the link is removed. This is retained in Chrome, Opera and Safari.

I am unable to enter a URL into the address bar.

Problem description: I can type an address into the URL bar, but when I hit enter, nothing happens. Nothing happens when I hit the "go" arrow. Nothing happens when I paste an address into the URL bar with "Paste & Go".
The awesome bar functionality seems to work, but when I select an address, it puts the address in the URL bar, but nothing happens.
It's just refusing to actually load any URL I type into the URL bar.
The bookmarks menu works just fine, as does everything else.
This occurred when I upgraded to Firefox 20.0.
I found the problem, but I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.
I tried disabling all the add-ons, but that didn't help.
The problem did NOT occur when using a fresh newly-created profile. You're probably thinking something was corrupt in my old profile. But that's not it.
The problem occurs when the profile is located on a network share. If I copy the profile to the local hard drive, the problem goes away. If I copy the fresh new profile to the network share, the problem starts occurring there.
I keep the profile on the network share because it gets backed up automatically every night. I have been doing this for at least the last five or six years, and it's been working fine since I don't know what Firefox version. 4 or 5? No idea, not important.
Here is my profiles.ini:
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=Joe D
IsRelative=0
Path=\\Splut\joed\.mozilla\firefox-win\Profiles\7ng20p6c.default
[Profile1]
Name=Copy
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/7ng20p6c.default
Default=1
As you can see, profile 0 is on the network share, and profile 1 is on the local hard drive. I copied the profile from the network to the local drive to create profile 1.
But wait! It gets even better!
They are not just identical copies. They are the EXACT SAME FILES. The folder for profile 1 is a symbolic link to the folder for profile 0. (Yes, you can do symlinks in Windows now.)
So the profiles are literally exactly the same, but one works and the other doesn't.
This solves my issue by allowing me to keep my profile on the network, but the other way should still work.
Any ideas?

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

The problem is defining what it even means to “embed” a PDF file in the body of an e-mail, especially if you are dealing with a multiple page PDF file.
E-mail is either pure text, rich text (something akin to RTF in Word), or HTML. PDF is not compatible with any of these. Thus, to embed a PDF file, something has to be converted and that means the PDF would be converted to a less graphically rich raster format. But is that what you would really want?
I think that the MacOS and iOS e-mail clients do under some circumstances place an attached PDF file within HTML segments and by clicking on same, you get the equivalent of extracting the full PDF file, but I have no real experience with that.
Another alternative is HTML with a proxy image with a hyperlink to an external PDF file that is invoked when you click on the hyperlink.
Perhaps you can explain what you are really trying to accomplish and what the recipient of such an e-mail's actual experience would be?

I'm not receiving any mail into the Junk Mailbox

Hi
I had a problem with the ports of the 2 accounts that I have set up in Mail (one of those is mac.com) due to an excess of space used. I tried several options and it finally it worked. As a result, a week later I realised that I was not receiving any mail into the Junk Mailbox... I don't know if it is related to the orher problem, maybe not.
Essentially I am no longer receiving any junk mail at all - and no mail that is even doubtful (ie from an unknown address). The mails are not showing up even online via MobileMe ... so I have no idea where they are!
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, I'm the author of the form and I expected the generic notification to be sent to that email but none is coming through. I also see that there is a place on the settings page to enter a custom notification email but that is grayed out unless I upgrade. I just want at least one, generic email to be sent to me so that I can know when a user submits a form.
Here's my screen shots:

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?
For example: I have formulas in columns D and F that relate to columns C to CU
If I want to move one column from one position to another (say S to T), the formula loses the colums that was moved, i.e. it doesn't recognize it has moved, rather sees it as deleted... How can I do this without distorting the formula?

Thanks for the feedback.
If I often urge askers to look at the available resources, it's because a large range of questions asked in the forums are already answered in these documents.
As they are PDFs, they are easy to search in.
CAUTION
Download them while they are available.
Given what is delivered with iBooks Author, I'm afraid that we will not get such easy to use documents.
Searching infos in the iBooks Author documentation available on line is awfully cumbersome and a lot of embedded links are wrongly flagged this way. In the Help files they aren't links but underlined strings.
It seems that the tool used to generate the web pages was wrongly configured.

Hey Vijay,
you sound like a man on the mission - want everytihng done in a SINGLE SHOT
I am not sure if i understand your requirement correctly, but my infernce is that you want to copy data from clipboard to the object values with little / no effort........(prime criteria )
Well, have the values listed one below the other in a notepad, copy them ctrl+C and in SAP have the quick cut and paste option active.
Now go to the object values and right click - you will have 7 rows of data copied, if you want more - repeat the exercise

If my understanding of the discussion is wrong - Blame it on the Monday morning Blues...............and have fun

Technically, to make the function keys work you don't need to change the second box to dash. I don't know why I gave that advice, but it isn't necessary. I guess I said that simply because that's what I have it set to.
The reason there are two boxes is so that you can set Exposé to using both the function keys and the mouse. For example, if I have +All Windows+ set to F9 and Secondary Mouse Button, then it will show all open windows if I click F9 or right-click. That is why you actually don't need to have the second boxes for any of these set to dashes. You could set them to your mouse buttons, or if you wanted you could set the first box of any of these to any function key, as long as it isn't set to the same one as the key you want to use for your shortcuts within FCE.
I hope this made sense, I realize that I might not have explained it very clearly.

Can i create a WAD directly into the production?

Hi all,
Can i create a WAD directly into the production?
thanks
Pooja

Dear Pooja,
yes you can if you have such authorizations in production system.but its not the good practice to do such testings on live system.because of the lot of loads and burdens will be there on live OLAP server.so instead of creating it in produtcion diredctly create it in dev or Quality and check your data quality and see whether your query needs tuning techniques and all then after making it all.transport the query to production and it will be deliverd to release version to the client to test it.otherwise may be your query creates some performance issues on the production system. so always follow the best practices and which is beneficial to you.
assign points if it helps...
Thanks & Regards,
Ashok

If I actually import full files into FCP, can I then drop source files into the trash?

If I actually import full files into FCP, can I then drop source files into the trash? I'm editing now and want to free up HD space.

Just to confirm: in Preferences, Import, Files..."copy to library storage location" is selected.
So I assume I can dispose of source files.
Thanks for quick reply and also the the cautionary note.
