I can't copy, drag, save or even highlight photos from the web. Any suggestions?

I'm using the MacBook - less than one-year-old.
I can't copy and paste photos.
If I try to highlight a photo it highlights all the page rather than just the picture.
If I right click my list of options does not include saving photo - rather 'save page as..' - which again saves all the web rather than just the picture.
Nothing happens when I try to drag the picture/photo to iPhotos.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Well, I've come across websites where I could download a picture and others which did not allow it; my take was and is that it is the webmaster's idea of what s/he will allow you to do with their site. So, I am out of ideas on how to help here; having said that though, you really can't compare your two machines - they are two different things and are based on an entirely different set of code. Hopefully someone else will be able to come up with an idea.

In the latest two updates you can only go back one page at a time, previous versions allowed you to jump back several pages by choosing from the twistie - any suggestions?

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:

Why can't I download, edit and tag a photo from the photo stream?, Why can't I download, edit and tag a photo from the photo stream?

I took a few pictures with my iPhone and then imported them to iPhoto. For a reason I don't understand, a few of the pictures from the camera roll didn't get imported and I thought I lost them. But, there they were in the Photo Stream. But I barely understood how to get the pictures from the steam into my library. Plus, when I copied them to the correct album, iPhoto reported that I couldn't edit them since they were downloaded from the stream. Nor could I tag them.
Nor could I share them on Facebook. Finally, I just pasted them into the Facebook album and tagged them there.
This is a mite annoying. Is this how it's supposed to work? Is there no way to actually download and edit and tag a picture from the stream?

New to using Firefox with MAC: How does one save a single jpeg image from the web (as in a right click on a pc?)

New to using Firefox with MAC: How does one save a single jpeg from the internet, similar to using the right mouse click on a pc?

If your question comes about because you have a single button mouse, it's time to visit your local computer store and get a ''real'' mouse for that MAC. I don't "get" Apple, they sell their hardware for almost twice what a comparable PC would sell for - and then they leave out what is probably the most important time saving control, the right-button.
See this for setting the hidden pref for context menus in Firefox, for Mac's.

Can I enter a subject line into automated emails from the web?

Hi everyone
I'm setting up a button on my website to enable visitors to subscribe to my mailing list.
The button opens up a new email, addressed to me, which the visitors will send back to me, thus giving me their email address.
Is there any way I can fill in the subject line for these emails so it says something like "Add me to your mailing list".
I suppose it's a bit like when you email photos from iPhoto and the subject line e.g. "10 great photos" is already filled in.
Would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance

You need to break it down into several pieces:
1. An event that causes mail to be sent.
2. Creation of the content to include in the mail.
3. Creation and sending of the mail message.
JavaMail will help you with #3. The rest are up to you.
JavaMail comes with several examples that show you
how to create a mail message and send it, given the
email address of the recipient, the content, the mail
server address, etc.
There's also pointers to many documents and tutorials
that will help you learn JavaMail. See the JavaMail
web site. And don't forget to read the FAQ.

hello Sasco9000, first please make sure that the date, time & timezone are set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
* what security software are you using?
* what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page - don't add it for real, but inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions):
* which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
please report back with this information. thank you!

HT201269 I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6. Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?

I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.
1) Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?
2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?

1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How can I copy songs with metadata (added in iTunes) from my PC to my new iMac?

I have iTunes 12.0.1 on my Windows PC. I'm about to get a new iMac (hooray!) and I'm beginning the process of transferring everything on my PC to my Mac. I've got all the documents, pictures, files, etc. covered, but now I have to make a copy of all of my music.
Most of the music in my iTunes library is not bought through the iTunes Store (I download most of my songs from the Internet). Then, after saving the downloaded song to my computer, I go into iTunes on my computer and add the song. I also add metadata like artist, album, genre, album artwork, etc. to the song in iTunes. What concerns me is that only the songs in iTunes have this metadata: the original downloaded files I saved onto my computer don't have any metadata.
I really don't want to have to go through the long and tedious process of adding artist/album names, genre, etc. to every single song in my iTunes library on my new iMac. How can I copy songs with metadata (added in iTunes) from my PC to my new iMac?
Thank you so much for any help!

Hello! I'd like to learn more about Home Sharing. To do this, would both my PC (which I hope to get rid of) and my new iMac need to be plugged in?
Also, after Home Sharing with the old PC is initiated, I understand that all my songs would appear on my iMac. Is there a way to copy all of these (with album artwork, name, artist, etc.) directly to the iMac's hard drive and then disconnect home sharing so I can get rid of my PC?
Thank you!

Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once?

Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once? OR do you have to copy and paste each line of text to speech and insert into new slide?

Hi there
I believe that you end up with a single file that you can use. Once you get that created, it's an audio file in the library. You may then add the audio file to another slide or object by looking in the Library after choosing to add audio.
Cheers... Rick

My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy of iphoto?

My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy?

It's probably the library that's the prolem and not the application. Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and open a new library then your existing library is damaged.
If that's the case, Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

You can't. You can take a screen cap of it, but the container doesn't allow access to the individual images used in a SWF or FLV.

Hi ladextr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. To sync your music to your iPad, first put your music in iTunes as described here:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
Once that's done, you can sync the music to your iPad by following this article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
