  • Why after a recent systems update, I can't copy text from the internet (every web page) and paste into word?

    MacBook Pro Community,
    I need help. After a recent systems update this week, I can not longer copy and paste text from the internet. I have never had this problem before. I have searched through systems preference and google'ed it. Please help!!
    Thank you!

    A book is a lot of work and in the end needs to not only be openable, printable, but also be laid out with facing pages amongst other numerous desirable features.
    None of which suggest Pages 5 to me.
    If you want to persist in Pages 5.5 you will have to laboriously cut and paste the content into one file and hope that will still be usable when you are finished.
    Or you could export to Pages '09 or pdf format and assemble it there.

  • How can I copy text from PDF and include the source filename in the pasted selection?

    I'm a biologist and frequently cut-and-paste notes from PDFs of scientific articles.  I name all of the PDF articles with their PubMed ID, a short unique identifier (e.g. 19397482.pdf).  When I take notes, I will select a few sentences from the PDF and then paste them into a text editor for later reference. 
    Can anyone suggest a method or script that would allow me to paste the copied text with the Pubmed filename included in a single action?  I would want the pasted output it to look something like this, with the filename appended to the end:
    Of the transcripts that were significantly different, there was a greater number of transcripts that were down-regulated in the IVC embryos (380) than the number of transcripts that were up-regulated (208).  [20668257.pdf]
    This would really help me to properly cite information sources during the writing process.  I know there are bibliography managers that might be able to do something like this, but I prefer to read the PDF articles directly in Preview and select the text as I am reading. 
    Thanks very much for any suggestions / ideas.
    jjw

    To copy and paste in a single action:
    tell application "Preview" to activate
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Preview"
        -- Get the PubMed ID:
        get the title of the front window
        set thePubMedID to word 1 of result
        -- Copy the selected text to the clipboard:
        keystroke "c" using {command down} -- ⌘C
        delay 0.25 -- adjust if necessary
        -- Add the PubMed ID to the contents of the clipboard:
        set theNotes to the clipboard
        set the clipboard to (theNotes & space & "[" & thePubMedID & ".pdf]")
    end tell
    tell application "Notational Velocity" to activate
    tell application "System Events"
        -- Paste the contents of the clipboard to the end of the Notational Velocity document
        key code 125 using command down -- ⌘↓
        keystroke return & return
        keystroke "v" using {command down} -- ⌘V
    end tell

  • Can't Copy Text From PDF Within Gmail Preview

    Hi,
    If I click on a pdf attachment while inside gmail, I get the expected preview window of that PDF. However, I can't copy text from it. If I press Command-C, it just makes a beeping noise letting me know nothing is being copied. If I select text and right-click, there's no 'copy' option. Also, in the top toolbar, Copy is greyed out in the Edit menu. However, if I just hold down Command-C for a couple seconds the text will copy anyways (while hearing a dozen audible beeps). I can copy text without issue using Firefox from the same PDF attachment preview inside Gmail.
    Thanks for any help.
    Yosemite 10.10.1
    Safari Version 8.0 (10600.1.25.1)

    Having same issue as well. I've had this problem pre-Yosemite and it seems to be Safari related. Copy to clipboard in Gmail preview works fine in Chrome & Firefox, just not Safari. As you indicated if you hold ctrl-c long enough it will eventually copy, just forces you to listen to the series of annoying bongs.
    Also there's no copy to clipboard in the context menu as illustrated below:

    Pretty annoying really, I'm not about to download a dozen attached PDFs to copy to clipboard, so now I'm sitting in the Delta lounge with my laptop bonging away as I wait for Safari to copy to clipboard and everyone looks at me like I'm a moron.
    NOTE: No I do not have acrobat or any other software loaded besides vanilla Safari. This has gone on on my MBP, Mac Pro and now this brand new MBP I got Monday as a company upgrade, it literally has nothing installed on it at the moment.

  • How can I copy text&image from a website to Apple Pages at once?

    I'm using Apple Pages 9.1, I can't copy text and images to pages at once. When I paste the copy contents to it, it just only shows text. With Safari, this functionality seems normal. I could copy and paste what I want to the pages.
    What can I do now? I don't want to open Safari just only to copy and quit it after that. :D

    Does it matter how widely you select? Firefox may be somewhat stingier in what it includes in a selection than other browsers. For example, I suspect you would have better results if you select the entire page and copy and paste it compared with a section of the page. But that's just a guess, I've never used Pages (or any of iWork).

  • Can't Copy text unless console is opened before applet with JTextField

    If an applet uses JTextFields, it is impossible to copy text from the console to the clipboard (or anywhere else) if the console is opened after the applet.
    See http://demo.capmon.dk/~pvm/nocopy/nocopy.html for a working applet with source and class file to try it out on...
    So if something bad has happened, and there are hints in the console e.g. a stack trace, it all has to be retyped by hand, since all Copy or export is impossible...
    Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I'd like to be able to e.g. copy stack traces to bug reports.
    Try these test cases:
    * Close all browser windows. Open a browser and visit this page. After the page with this applet has loaded, then open the console with "Tools/Sun Java Console" (or "Tools/Web Development/Java Console" in Mozilla). Select some text in the console. There is no way to put this text on the clipboard; the "Copy" button doesn't work, and neither does CTRL+Insert, CTRL+C or anything else.
    * Close all browser windows. Open a browser window no some non-java page and then open the console with "Tools/Sun Java Console" (or "Tools/Web Development/Java Console" in Mozilla). Then visit this page. Select some text in the console. Now the "Copy" button does work, enabling "export" of e.g. stack traces to other applicaitons e.g. email.
    The difference is which is opened first: The console or the applet. If you look at the very rudimentary Java source code, it is the mere creation of a JTextField is what disables or breaks the Copy functionality.
    I've tried this on Windows XP with IE 6.0 and Mozilla 1.3 and they behave exactly the same. The JVM is Sun's 1.4.2 and I've tried 1.4.1_02 also with the same behavior. I've also tried javac from both 1.4.2 and 1.4.1_01

    hey .. this seems like a bug.. can you please file a bug at

  • Can't copy text in a preview-document opened in Safari.

    Since the last upgrade of safari (I think) I can't copy text in a preview document opened in Safari. Can I adjust anything in the preferences or is there any other solution to get the normal behaviour back?

    Quit Safari.
    Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
    ☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
    ☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.
    Delete the following items from the Library folder:
    Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
    Relaunch Safari and test.

    I don't think the list style transfers. Copy and paste the text in to Mail, select it and then choose "Insert Numbered List" as a work around.

  • How can i copy text from web link title in safari

    Hi. How can i copy text to clipboard from web link title in safari in ios 7? Thank you
    Like this:
    http://photouploads.com/images/01wkw.jpg

    Once you have selected text, there will be blue circular buttons on the corners. Get the ones on the end and move them in towards the text that you want to copy. The problem that you seem to be facing where you are is that this text is a hyperlink. Because of that reason, you will have a difficult time tapping on the text without activating the link. I'm not sure you will be able to do that.

  • How can I copy text in Adobe Digital Editions?

    How can I copy text in Adobe Digital Editions for an eBook that I have purchased?

    Adobe apps can be reset to their factory defaults by using Ctrl+Alt+Shift, not Del. The rest doesn't really make any sense since you did not provide any details and authorizations can't be changed that way, anyway. If you want to transfer books to other devices you need to contact the vendors to release the DRM/ provide a new download and if you want to change the registered ID, you need to contact support or create a completely new account, which in turn will require you to buy your DRM managed books again/ get a new download as well.

    Same problem in iphone4s and ipad2
    iOS 5.1

    Hi Carolyn,
    Thanks for your advice... My overall iPad performance is much mor "snappy" but here is what I get with a paste to this message:iPad 2 User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software)
    Touch and hold the link. You can open the link in Safari or copy the link address to the clipboard .
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf
    And this was not what I was most recently copied to my clipboard while using Safari! Befor trying this copy/paste I even cleared Safari cookies and cache! Any other ideas would be appreciated.

  • How can i copy and referencing the value of a sub-total of a category into another cell?

    How can i copy and referencing the value of a sub-total of a category into another cell?

    Cells in Category  rows 'exist' only when those categories are inserted using the Reorganize table. Those cells cannot be referenced from other cells.
    If you want a category summed, you will need to do that in a cell that is still visible when the table is not sorted into categorie using the Reorganize pane. The function to use is SUMIF. You can find information regarding SUMIF (and SUMIFS) in the iWork Formulas and Functions User Gude. The guide may be downloaded using the link in the Help menu in Numbers '09.

  • How can i highlight text in the Adobe Difital Editions?

    How can i highlight text in the Adobe Difital Editions?

    You have to remember that Digital Editions was never designed to have 'text
    editor' capabilities.  BTW: Bluefire and Overdrive also have such
    limitations.  Put in another frame of reference, DE presents you with the
    ebook, as you would be presented with a physical printed book.
