I can not paste URL's from Safari to my Yahoo mail and need to

Please note -
I DO NOT WANT TO USE THE APPLE MAIL PROGRAM TO SEND LINKS
I am looking for a practical solution to copying links from the Safari toolbar so that they are 'clickable links' for the recipient when sent from my Yahoo mail.
I have tried many of the suggested solutions that I have found in previous discussions and none of them seem to work with Yahoo.
Many thanks!!!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
Are you using the 'insert link' icon in the Yahoo! mail toolbar?
Open Yahoo! mail.
Compose a new message.
Click the Insert Link icon to open a window similar to the following:
Now you can manually type-in the desired link,
-or-
cut and paste it from the Safari toolbar, as follows:
Open the desired page you want to link to in another tab in Safari.
Highlight the link, by clicking and dragging until the entire URL is highlighted. I click on the icon at the beginning of the URL, and it is automatically highlighted. (That 'highlight' behavior is not consistent with other browsers, such as Google Chrome, by the way.)
Copy it by pressing the Command and the C keys at the same time to 'Copy' the desired link, or use the Safari toolbar word menu, Edit, and Copy.
Move to the tab with the open Yahoo mail window, click the 'chain-link' icon to open the Yahoo! dialog box as shown above
Now press Command and the V keys at the same time to 'Paste' the link into the open dialog box, or use the Safari toolbar menu, Edit, and Paste.
At this point, the URL should appear in blue underscore within the Yahoo! email message as a clickable link to the page.
In the first screenshot above with the arrow, you see the URL for this thread shown twice, once in black (simply cut and pasted), and the second in blue underscore (clickable), using the Insert Link icon as described.
UPDATE: After sending the test message I composed above with Yahoo! mail to a Gmail account, both the links actually were clickable, so it might depend upon how the email service receiving the message handles links.

Can I paste football table from Safari into Numbers by Dec 23?

*Can I paste a table from Safari into Numbers - and get a table?*
Whether I use Paste or Paste Match Style (?) it just goes into one column, which is useless. Same result in Pages. But in the Appleshop demo I copied the table from Safari into Excel and it created a proper table.
Apologies if this is already answered. I am new to Mac and to iWorks. I've only got the evaluation version of iWorks v1.0. I was going to get the full version by Xmas - but this is a real showstopper. If I can't use the spreadsheet on web tables (price comparisons, stocks, etc etc) then iWorks won't do.
If it can't do this, are there any other solutions out there? Thanks.
*_Problem Description_*
1. In Safari select and Copy a table (here's the football league table http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/table/default.stm)
2. Paste the table into Numbers - as a table (not as a single column)
3. sort the table on descending GD

Hello
Some times ago, I posted a script for this kind of problem but I just discover (with your table) that I forgot a case.
Here is a revised version which I will put soon on my iDisk.
-- [SCRIPT Tables2Numbers_v5]
property nbCols : "3"
property english : true (* true= English messages, false = Messages Français *)
property msg1 : ""
property list1 : {}
if msg1 = "" then my prepareMessages()
set theDatas to (get the clipboard as text)
if theDatas does not contain tab then
set nbCols to text returned of (display dialog msg1 default answer nbCols)
set nbCols to nbCols as integer
set my list1 to paragraphs of theDatas
set nb to count of my list1
set nbRows to nb div nbCols
set newDatas to ""
repeat with i from 1 to nbRows
repeat with j from 1 to nbCols - 1
set newDatas to newDatas & (item (j + (i - 1) * nbCols) of my list1) & tab
end repeat
set newDatas to newDatas & (item (j + 1 + (i - 1) * nbCols) of my list1) & return
end repeat
set the clipboard to newDatas
else
set the clipboard to theDatas
end if
set my list1 to {}
on prepareMessages()
if english is true then
set msg1 to "How many columns ?"
else
set msg1 to "Nombre de colonnes ?"
end if
end prepareMessages
-- [/SCRIPT]
If you grab your table in the clipboard after counting the columns (here 16)
run the script
After that you may paste the table in Numbers (or in AppleWorks)

I can not open PDF's from Safari.

I have already uninstalled Adobe Reader and made Preview my default reader again. When i open a PDF, i get back a black screen. Previously, i would get a black screen with message saying i needed to accept the License and Agreements of Adobe Reader. Then i decided to throw out in the trash the Adobe Reader plug ins and that message does not show any more when i attempt to open the PDF but the black screen is still there.
Any help?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

I can not connect to iCloud from safari

I suddenly can not connect to iCloud.com from safari. I have no issues with chrome, firefox etc. Is there a setting that is blocking this site?

Hi ..
Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

After installing iOS 7.1.1, I can no longer send links from Safari using my Yahoo account

I frequently send links from Safari, and as my Yahoo is my default email, it obviously sends from Yahoo. However, since installing iOS 7.1.1, those messages end up in my outbox, and I get a message saying "a copy of the message has been placed in your outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." I am able to change my sending email to Gmail or my company domain, though, and the message will go through without issue. But changing the sending account to a different Yahoo account generates the same failure message.
Is this a Yahoo problem (which wouldn't surprise me)? Or is it an iOS 7.1.1 bug (which also wouldn't surprise me)? Anyone else having the problem?
For the record, I have rebooted the iPad Air 128GB. I have tried this on multiple wifi connections (AT&T Uverse at the office, Time Warner cable at home, blazing fast local fiber company at the gym). The only thing I have not done is remove & reinstall the Yahoo accounts. I thought I'd pick the collective brains of the community first.
Thanks!!

Addendum
Sending straight from the mail client in any/all of the Yahoo accounts works just fine. The bug just seems to happen when sending links from Safari.

I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incredible 2 cell phone and I can not transfer my photos from my cell phoen to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can no longer do so. i havenot upgraded to any new software.

My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incrdible 2 cell phone and therefore I can not transfer any photos from my cell phone to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can not do so now. I have not upgraded to any new software. My USB cable is plugged in properly and I just get an error message -- "No Android Device Found". What could be the problem?

I had the same issue with the Galaxy S4 trying to see what the hype was about and was my first and last android phone. With that being said unfortunately it is a hit or miss with the Mac recognizing an android device or not. It worked perfectly fine the first time around and then it stopped working for no apparent reason. Through trial and error nothing I did solved the issue. I did however plug it in my Mac and left it connected for about 30-40 min to charge for a bit and all of the sudden it recognizes the phone. So I just launched Android File Transfer and everything else became fluid after that. I have no explanation as to why it happened that way, but what I gathered from this is maybe you just have to let it sit for a minute while plugged in before the Mac recognizes it, after all they are opposing software. On a side note this is why I will always be an apple user, Iphones and the like never have this problem

Hi Rajesh,

IOS7 won't let me paste copied images from safari

When I am in Google images using safari, and I want to save a photo I touch it. It is framed in blue dots and the action "Copy" is offered. I am not offered the option to "save". I touch copy, move to photos, but touching the screen does not offer paste. In fact, touching the screen does nothing. So, I can't save photos from safari using the IPAD Air and IOS7. And I can't paste photos either. That means, when I want to do postings in Face Book I have to go to my desk top PC or Laptop in order to make a posting in Face Book. The IPAD Air, and IOS7 seem awfully dumb to me. There are videos on the web demonstrating how to save photos from Web sites using an IPAD and Safari, but the operations shown aren't on the IPAD Air or IOS7, they appear to be operations using earlier IPADs and earlier versions of the operation system.

It appears as though I jumped the gun. When I first went to this website and searched for "flowers", I was not able to save any of the images on the ensuing search results page.
http://www.google.com/imghp
But when I went to a site simply by entering the words "Dog Images" in the Safari URL field, I was able to save the images from the resulting Search results.
Now it works for me either way. Strange.

I can not save any information on Safari !!!!, i can not save any information on Safari !!!!

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

If you just installed iCloud does that mean you updated the iOS that's running on your iPad? If so, you'll want to restore all the programs you have from the backup you hopefully made.
Refer to these articles for help.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software.
If you don't want to use iCloud, simply don't activate it.
You can also download the programs again.
