I can't copy and paste anymore after installing 64bit software on 32bit system

I've installed an trial version of Adobe Indesign on my MacBook pro (Max OS X 10.5.8). I noticed that the programm could not be installed because it is an 64 bit version. Sadly I allready installed it and now I have a lot of problems. I can't copy and past files anymore. Also moving files from a folder to another folder is over. When I start applications most of them crash (Avid Media Composer, After Effects ect). When I open photoshop CS4.0 I get the following error: 'Could not import the clipboard because of a program error'.
Allso copy and past in Safary doesn't work anymore. I've tried to remove the com.apple.finder.plist file but dat doesn't work. When I reboot my mac and start up in safe mode the problems are still there.
Anybody an idea what to do?

Uninstall the incorrect version.  It should have come with an uninstaller.  Repair permissions, restart your computer, install the correct version, repair permissions and restart your computer again.

  • Can't copy and paste or drag files and folders

    In the last few days I can no longer drag files or folders on my desktop, in my mail program (Entourage) and I can't copy and paste anymore. I also can't get iDisk to come up. It keeps givng me error messeges. (error code -50). Anyone had similar problems and know of a solution?

    When did you last run a bit of basic maintenance?
    Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.

    An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:

    By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • Missing images and not able to use copy and paste anymore - just blank rect

    Hello!
    I've a problem that really scares me.
    I use severall png and pdf images. But at one point keynote looses the media and just displays these grey rectangles instead of some images. I tried to figure out if it just happens with pdf images and replaced the missing pdf images through png24 images with transparency. It first worked fine (they showed up) and then it tells images can not be saved. If I open the presentation again, the images are missing. And it seems that the more images and slides i put in the presentation, the more images are missing…
    But there is more: I even can't copy and paste these images anymore. If I try to copy one of the images I just have replaced (because they have been lost by saving), it just pastes the blank grey rectangle instead of the image.
    This really is a problem because I now have to repetitive tasks (like same animation for the same image in the same size) over and over again. And when I save the doc – they are al gone again…
    It really scares me and I don't have an idea how to solve this.
    It also happens, if I repleace an pdf image with an png image and than try to copy this new png image. However I am able to drag the image from the Finder again.
    I am working on a PB G4, 1.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM.
    My Keynote Version is 3.0.2.
    The Keynote Dokument is saved and opened from a G4 X-Serve wich is only used by Macs (so no Windows Filesystem anywhere). I still have anough space on both, my local and the server volume. I don't transfer the Keynote document. So it should not be a problem with the names on the files… And the files are just exported from Adobe Illustrator (png 24 files with "save for web" and the pdf files are saved as Illustrator pdf) – so they should really be fine and not corrupted…
    At this time the Keynote document has a size of 179 MB (because of a video) and only 16 slides. And the theme was built from scratch – so no import from Powerpoint or so…
    I looked through the Keynote preferences and found a thing like (sorry self-translated from german version to english) "scale placed images to slide-size". I wondered if keynote saves a copy of the sacaled image after that and corrupts the image itself? But I don't think so.
    I've had these problems with earlier versions of Keynote, but it occured just sporadically and I could solve it through pasting it again. But this time I can not solfe it anymore.
    Does anybody encounter same problem? Or has a hint?
    I really would appreciate, because I have to finish the presentation very soon and are not able to work properly with that. Furthermore, I am scared of saving and opinging the presentation again, because the lost files can not be replaced…

    I now have a hint:
    As a colleague said, he encountered some problems with usagerights on our fileserver (XServe). He said he wasn't able to read files he put on the server himself again…
    If this is true, the same could have happened to Keynote for placed images, as Keynote writes these images as separate files in the doc package…
    I will try to work on my local volume and see if it solfes the problem.
    But sooner or later I will have to place the whole thing on the server again…
    Do you think this is the reason?

  • Can't cut and paste anymore

    Anybody ever experience this? I can't copy and paste text between windows anymore. And, no, I'm not a complete moron. That was the first thing I checked. I was wondering if there was something in the latest update that might have screwed this up.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hmmm. Have I tried rebooting?
    No, no I haven't.
    Solution: I am a moron.

  • I can't copy and paste in blackboard discussions.

    I can't copy and paste in blackboard discussion or any where in blackboard when using firefox. I can if I use a different browser but I prefer firefox. I have also tried the keyboard shortcuts without succes. Any suggestions?

    One possible workaround is to block the scripts on sites from detecting when you cut, copy, or paste using the keyboard or right-click context menu. You can do this by changing a preference in Firefox's about:config preferences editor. This may cause some side effects when copying on other sites, though, so it's not an ideal workaround.
    To try it:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''event''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled''' to switch its value from true (the default) to false.
    This should take effect immediately, or after you reload the Blackboard page.
    Does that make any difference?

  • I can't copy and paste in Pages

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro that I JUST got for Christmas.  I downloaded Pages shortly after.  However, all of a sudden I can't copy and paste between documents or even in the SAME document.  I tried command+c and command+v and when I do that the Edit section lights up like it recognizes what I'm doing but it won't show up when I paste it.  I also tried to do it by manually selecting copy and paste int he Edit section.  I don't understand!  Someone help me!

    Creating a new user account is not necessary linked to the physical existence of an other user. It's helpful when we want to work different ways. It's also useful to help to solve problems like yours.
    If an app behave wrongly in account A and behave flawlessly in account B, we know that we may limit the range of files in which something is wrong to the account ones.
    As you can't give us the info, we must guess.
    So guessing that the problem is in your account, I will say :
    Quit/Close Pages
    move Pages preferences file to the Desktop
    The file's path is :
    <startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.pl ist
    CAUTION: to reach it under Lion, you must press the option key while triggering the Finder's menu [ Go ] to get the menu item "Library.
    Restart Pages
    If it behave well, the 'old' prefs file was corrupted.
    The odd behavior may be linked to a problem with fonts.
    Run : FontBook to scan your fonts to get rid of corrupted or conflicting fonts.
    Get the free maintenance tool MAINTENANCE from :

    CAUTION : take care to download the version dedicated to your system.

  • I no longer see the URL of any website so can't copy and past URLs into any emails, etc. Is there some setting to make URLs visible? when I updated, the URLs disappeared. I'm on a MacBook.

    When I updated to the latest version of Firefox, the URLs disappeared so they are no longer visible at the top of the Firefox page. I can enter sites, but I can't copy and past the URLs anymore. Why can't I see the http://... info anymore? Is there some setting I changed or what might be the problem?
    thanks.

  • How can I copy and paste a caption for several pictures that are all the same?

    I'm trying to understand the process of importing, labeling and organizing pictures I'm importing from my iPhone into iPhoto 11.
    So far I am importing only pictures that relate to one another; ie taken at the same event.  I have 18 pictures from one hike.  I'd like to label each of those pictures the same; ie "hike at Bear Creak 2/15."  Can I copy and paste the same label to all 18 pictures?  How would I copy and paste?
    There are lots of You Tube videos on the subject of iPhoto and that's how I learn best.  If you know of a really basic one to watch I'd appreciate it. 
    I think I have to take a class at the Apple Store on this basic organizing because it's really escaped me in the 9 months I've had this Mac (switched from PC.)
    Thanks,
    Ginny

    Ginny,
    select all 18 photos at once in iPhoto on your Mac and then use the menu entry "Photos > Batch Change"
    That will change the titles or descriptions of all photos at once.
