I can't copy and paste on my mac, can't also drag files.

any ideas how to fix this?

When you used Safari reset it clears alot of accumulated data stuff. Perhaps you can do some maintenance proceedures which can help. Here is a link to a tip sheet by user d s store explaining how to do some of these things.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
Some to consider would be:
2: PRAM reset
7. Hold Shift key boot for "Safe Mode"
11: Disk Utility > Repair Permissions
12: OnyX cache cleaning
If you want to try to delete the Safari prefs then this would be the way.
13: Corrupt Preferences files
Just be sure to export the bookmarks ( under the Safari file menu) so that you can import them if needed after trashing the Safari prefs

    What do you mean by "copy and paste a page"? What tool have you selected? Or are you just assuming you can select stuff and copy/paste as in Word?

  • Copy and paste PC vs Mac

    With a PC, if i highlight a text with left-button of the mouse, i can paste the text by clicking on right-button mouse (Windows) , or i can paste with left button itself (Linux). With a Mac, how can i do this ?. I have apple mouse connected to Mac book pro, i always need to use command+c and command+v. Is there any way that i can do in Mac like a PC.
    Thank you.

    I don't want use contextual menus for copy and paste. It will increase my burden. Everyday i play with Terminal application very extensively, and i login to hundreds of servers daily and will do my job through cli. Always doing control+c/v is pain.
    Is there any way that i can hi-light a text with mouse and paste it with mouse directly (Like a PC) without using contextual menus or using control+c/v ?
    Thanks.

  • How do you copy and paste on a mac

    new mac user switched from the dreaded PC stumbling along trying to figure stuff out and re orient my brain i Know Apple C is Copy and Apple V is paste yet somehow it doesnt go into from one window to the next

    The Mac has the best User Interface for casual Users anywhere. To get started, Choose Copy from the Edit Menu in every Application, and use Paste from the Edit menu in every Application. Make sure that is working the way you expect.
    Once you get used to the way it is supposed to work, look at those items on the menu for their keyboard Shortcuts, and substitute the Shortcut to speed up your work.

  • Help!Can't figure out how to copy and paste a drop shadow behind an image in photoshop

    I use illustrator most of the time. I'm designing a brochure and I've always embedded images, but now I'm trying to it correctly by linking them instead. So I have an image in ps as a tiff. I created a drop shadow for the image in illustrator. I want to copy and paste it behind the image into the same file so both are one file linked to the brochure. Also the drop shadow pastes as too small, then i also can't get it positioned right etc. Please explain how to do this step by step. I've been trying for hours to figure it out. thanks!

        What happened is this: my client emailed me the image as a jpg. I downloaded it, then right clicked "open with" - photoshop. It opened in photoshop. Then I saved it as a tif. (maybe i didn't need to do this). Then still in psd i went to image size - and made the image 6x4 inches (the image is supposed to be printed 3x2 inches on the brochure) . Then I made it 300 dpi resolution and kept the resampling box checked. Then I went to layer styles; drop shadow; and used the drop shadow  menu to get it the size and placement and opacity i desired .It's just a  plain rectangular drop shadow which is a little offset behind the plain  rectangular photo. I did check the box where the image would drop out  the drop shadow (or whatever it said:). The drop shadow is on the same layer as the image. Then behind all of it is a larger rectangle of the grey and white boxes, which show thru thru the drop shadow in psd. I'm assuming this is simply the artboard. Then i named it and saved it into a "links" folder which i plan to include in the folder containing the illy brochure file.
        Since the psd image is 6x4 inches, will it reset to 3x2 when printed to match the placed image size? Or should I size the psd image exactly like the illy placed image? Is the drop shadow in this case a blend like you were describing earlier?
        Did i do anything wrong in the process which will make the brochure print incorrectly, or am i being too confusing for you to know ? ))
        I'm so nervous about how it all translates from one to the other. Thanks in advance!

  • Copy and paste to a JTextArea under Mac OSX

    Hello,
    Mac OSX users complain about the lack of copy and paste functionality
    when they run my small Java application. Unfortunately I don't own a
    Mac so I cannot test it or find out where the problem is. When I run the
    application under various versions of Linux or Windows I can copy and
    paste by using the common keyboard shortcuts ctrl-c and ctrl-v.
    Searching the web I found discussions here and there, some very old,
    but none of them was realy solved or gave me an idea of what I could
    try to change in order to make c&p work under Mac OSX.
    So I need a little help. First I'd like to know if copy & paste works when
    the app runs as applet or standalone application (the jar file can do both).
    And, of course: why doesn't copy and paste work under Mac OSX?
    The application can be found here (released under the GPL):
    http://transtoba2.seige.net/
    And please be mild, it is still in beta state. ;-)
    Best regards
    Leander

    The following link helped me understand an issue with copy and paste
    http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-12078
    It seems to be down to the L&F you are using and how the key bindings are mapped.
    In summary
    OSX 10.4 , Safari and Firefox
    To copy/paste in the Applet � Ctrl-C , Ctrl-V
    To paste a value from Altio into the OSX environment use ^ V (^ is the Apple key)
    To paste a value from OSX into Altio use Ctrl-V
    Hope this works for you

  • How to copy and paste outlook attachments between emails

    Hello
    Is there a way to copy and paste outlook attachments between emails instead of drag and drop? I`m a new Mac user, on windows I clicked on mouse and the option copy and paste was there... I don´t see this option on Mac.
    Thanks.

    Hi Hans,
    I can get a reference error here if the destination table does not have that range available while the source table does. 
    Are you sure your desination table has exactly the same structure and dimensions as your source table?
    If it does, copy/paste via the Formula Editor should work. It works reliably here.
    Also the formula in your latest post looks as if it might be corrupted-- lots of extra spaces (it seems).  Did your orginal formula have those?
    To sort this out, suggest turning off 'Use header names as labels' in Preferences.
    If you end up with a formula in a cell as just Text (as Ian describes that's what happens when you copy from Numbers 2) you can convert that text to a formula by double-clicking the cell, clicking just before the text so that the insertion point appears in front of it and typing =. That activates the Formula Editor with the formula in it, which you can accept by clicking the green checkmark or hitting return.

  • IBooks Author keeps crashing whenever I try to copy and paste?

    I'm working on a project for school in iBooks Author, and whenever I try to copy and paste something it crashes. It also crashes when I try to type in more than 2 sentences in 'scrolling sidebar' or 'pop-over's.
    Please help
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem, and am using the latest version (2.2) on Macbook Pro, OS Yosemite 10.10.2.  It also is taking forever to save the smallest changes.  (I'm saving after each one now because it crashes when I attempt 2-3 changes, even minor ones.)  I've been using iBooks Author since its inception and have never had this problem before.

  • Copy and Paste Stops working across the Mac OS X

    Recently I have been using my machine to connect to Windows XP machines using the RDC program (Mac equivilant of mstsc.exe) that Mircosoft provides.
    Whilst swtiching between applications on the host OS (Mac OS X 10.8) I found that my copy and paste functionaility across the whole OS appeared to stop working. A restart of the whole OS seem to resolve the problem, but when I dug a little deeper I found that it appears that once I terminated the RDC program the copy and paste functionailty came back. This also include any extented copy and paste functions within the Mac OS X eg, screenshots (cmd+ctrl+shift+3) and partial screenshots (cmd+ctrl+shift+4 very cool use it all the time).
    I just thought I'd add this issue to the Support forums in case other came across this problem, just one of those gotachas worth noting.
    Cheers
    Steve

    My keyboard stopped working and I recently installed a RDC program also.  I will try to uninstall it and see if that is the main source of the issue.   I will report back my findings for everyone else..

  • Copy and Paste atributes

    Hi, is there any way of assigning a keyboard shortcut to copy and paste atributes?
    I´m currently using drag and drop from the appearence panel but this takes much more time.
    In FreeHand I use ctrl+shift+C to copy the attributes of a shape and ctrl+shift+V to paste them in other shapes (sometimes on multiple shapes at the same time).
    Thnx, TJMag

    Thank you colling_s, I’ve been using the eyedroper as well but I find it anoying.
    When you have multiple strokes or fills sometimes it doesn’t apply them correctly — sometimes it changes the order of stacking and sometimes
    it changes the fill color slightly.
    I also use graphic styles but again...not as pratical as an actual shortcut.
    I guess I was wondering if anyone knew a way to hack the crap out of some config files in Illustrator and make it possible.
    (and program some "paste inside" while at it , heh )

  • How do I copy and paste in Adobe Audition 2.0 and keep my markers and metadata?

    I'm trying to paste sections of sound file at the end of a different file, but when it pastes I lose all my markers and metadata which were saved on the original file. Does anyone know how I might copy the markers over as well? Would really appreciate some help! Thanks

    Unfortunately you cannot retain markers within a section that you copy and paste since any markers shown in an audio file in Waveform view only relate to the time on the timescale of that particular audio file. As soon as you copy a section of the audio and try and paste it into another file the marker positions no longer relate to the Timeline into which you are pasting them. Therefore they have to be discarded, I'm afraid.
