I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field(prefix only) while saving files.

OS: WinXP sp3
FF: 3.6.3
I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field (prefix only) while saving files. example: File name is Pic123.jpg and I want to rename it ABC123.jpg and I have ABC loaded into the WinXPsp3 clipboard. When I highlight\right-click\delete "Pic" then attempt to paste the ABC, I get either no reaction, or upon multiple paste attempts, the ABC is appended to the end of the file, after the extension, as "Pic123.jpgABC". If I delete this unwanted suffix, or repeat the process several times, eventually I can delete the unwanted portion of the prefix and paste the desired text. Sometimes it works fine first try, but mostly it takes several tries. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 but the problem existed in whatever previous version I had too. This issue only occurs when using the delete/paste; I can always manually change the name by typing. Thank you for your help.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • When printing to pdf i copy and try to paste text into the textbox and it freezes up. What can i do to fix this?

    I have tried to look at reasons as to why this happens but i cannot find anything. If i type it in manually it works perfectly fine. The copying and pasting of text into the name of the file freezes and crashes the window i am in

    Hey jb42312436,
    Please let me know what type of file are you trying to print to PDF.
    Is Adobe Acrobat installed on your system? What version?
    Try doing the same with some other file and check if the same thing happens.
    Let me know.

  • I can't seem to cut and paste text into the community message form?

    It seems I can't paste text data into this field.  Can you help?

    Win 7, explorer.  Cut and paste from any text source (Word, Notepad, Explorer) has the same result.  As an example, In this form window I cannot paste.  But, If I open a new discussion, toggle the HTML button, I can paste.  .  For some reason the reply form does not have the HTML button.  So, it might be a Java/browser thing - something is disabled.....
    I'll try Chrome and see if the same thing happens.
    I can cobble around it, but I've never seen this in any other HTML form before...

  • I am having a problem with copying and pasting text into the Safari search bar.

    For example, when I copy and paste "Organic Chemistry: A Short Course" it will change to Organic%20Chemistry:%20A%20Short%20Course"
    It will then tell me it has failed to open page, even though my interenet is otherwise working.
    How can I fix this?

    What you tried worked for me. Try "Organic Chemistry -  A Short Course"    It took me to the same search result as what you are trying.

  • I can't paste text into info boxes anymore with the latest version of itunes

    Ever since I downloaded the latest version of itunes (on Windows 7), I can no longer paste text into the info boxes when I edit song information. I can’t paste by right-clicking or Ctrl+V, this is driving me crazy because I’m trying to add info on a Russian artist with Cyrillic letters and I can’t do it! I didn’t buy the song from itunes so it can’t be issues with Copyrighting although the same thing happens with songs from the store and every other song in my library. I can paste text into the lyrics section but that’s it. I restarted my computer after reinstalling the latest versions of itunes and Firefox today hoping it would fix my problem but it didn’t. Is this happening to anyone else? I hope someone can help me! Oh and it isn’t just with Russian, I tried to paste English info just to see if it was a problem with recognizing Cyrillic and still nothing pastes, the boxes just stay blank.
    Itunes is annoying me more than ever. With the constant updates you’d think they would be able to improve all bugs but once one problem is fixed another occurs and it’s so irritating because I couldn’t care less about how my library looks as long as everything is organized in a simple way and I can sync my ipod without spending forever on itunes re-editing stuff and readjusting to updated layout changes. Apple’s attempts at making things look “cool” isn’t worth the F-ing constant problems which matter more! Okay, rant over

    That would be Manually manage, not Manually syncing.
    Click the drop down arrow at top left the Show menu.
    Then iTunes menu View > Show sidebar.
    Select the iPod then you can select the Summary tab.

  • Why can't I paste anything into the Text window any more

    Hi Laura,
    Why cant I paste anything into the text window any more? I am using IE 7.0 (7.0.5730.13C0)

    I've seen some weird (temporary) cases, for example when ctrl+v suddenly did not work, but "right-click..paste" was still working. Also, when I was pasting the comment here, notice that the last line containing the date (i.e. the line containing May 27, 2011) moved to the top of the quote, while it was at the botton in the original location (probably soem extra html got dragged along, I have not investigated).
    (This was in Chrome.)

  • How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!

    Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

  • I have created two related books in Lightroom 5 (Volumes 1 and 2) but my balance of page numbers is off. So I'd like to take some pages out of one book (complete with images) and paste them into the other. Is this possible?

    Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

  • TS3276 Hi.  Just started using Mac Mail on a macbookpro v10.6.8.  I tried to send a message with two excel (for mac) files attached.  One attached as a file, one inserted all the text into the message body.  Help?

    Just started using my Mac Mail program instead of web mail.  When I went to attach two pdf files, one attached as a file, the other inserted all the text into the body of the email message.  How do I get it to attach both pdf's as files?

    I think you're confusing two different things. If you attached PDF files and one of them displayed the PDF icon in the message window, that means it was more than one page. If you saw what appeared to be the actual document for the other PDF file, that means it's only one page and it's normal for it to display that way.
    However, I seem to recall there may (or should) be a button at the bottom-right of the message window that allows you to display those files as icons, even if they're one page. If not, there's a third-party addition you can use to add that feature:

  • Cannot paste text into a text layer in Photoshop

    Since a couple of days ago I cannot paste text into a photoshop text layer from any other source, like safari, word etc.
    I get an "popup error"-window in swedish (my language) saying something like "Could not complete the paste text command because the clipboard data was invalid or missing."
    Anyone having the same issue? Or maybe a fix on the problem? Of course i've tried restarting photoshop and also the computer. Running Mac OS X Yosemite and the latest Photoshop CC 2014.

    Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad. It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).
