No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

I'm using Lion on an MBP and Numbers is the latest version

May you give more details about what is wrong with your dates ?
M…oSoft products aren't allowed on my machines but I use LibreOffice which is a clone of Office.
When I export from Numbers to Excel and open the result with LibreOffice, the dates are correctly treated.
To be precise, dates after 01/01/1904 are correctly treated. dates before 01/01/1904 are exported as strings but, as it's flagged during the export process, it's not surprising.

Exchange calendar from iPad doesn't sync with iCal

Hi there, I hope this is the right community to post my problem....
OK, I'm using an iPad 3 (iOS 5.1) which syncs rather nice with the Exchange account (mail, contacts, calendar) of my company.
But if I try to sync the Exchange calendar from the iPad via iTunes with my Mac at home (24'' iMac DualCore 2006, OS10.6.8) the Exchange calendar won't show up in iCal. Every other calendar I created for test showed up just fine...but not the one I sync'd with my Exchange.
Any idea how I get this to work ?

Syncing your Exchange calendar on your Mac through your iPad isn't the best approach. What you should do instead is sync your Mac with Exchange directly. In other words, treat the iPad--Exchange sync and the Mac--Exchange sync independently. This is what I do, and it works great on my Mac.
Your iPad--Exchange setup is working fine, so leave that alone. Turning then to the Mac-Exchange setup, I'm not in front of my Mac at the moment, but basically to set up Exchange on your Mac, go into the email preferences and select new account. Configure it as an Exchange account and enter the relevant information. You will need to know the "EWS" (Exchange Web Service) address... it is usually something like "outlook.companyname.com" and your regular login info. For me, it was the same web address as if I wanted to access my email from a webpage using the MS Outlook Web Access feature. Your IT folks can help with this if necessary.
Once you set this up, you can also sync calendars, reminders, and contacts onto your Mac too. And the best part is that this will sync with your iPad!

I have upgraded Acrobat Standard from version 8 through time until I am currently using version X, which doesn't work with Office 2013. Can I upgrade to version Standard XI?

Over the years I have upgraded Acrobat Standard from version 8 to currently working with version X.
However, since getting a new laptop it doesn't work with Office 2013.
Can I upgrade to Standard XI?

Upgrade pricing now only applies to version 9 and X. So if you have a retail serial number for X, you should be able to upgrade. (Or consider subscription).

How do I set up a calendar on my iphone that doesn't sync with iCloud?

I have an iPhone, iPad , iMac and Mac mini all connected to iCloud for syncing of iCal, Mail, Address Book etc.
I want to set up a calendar on my iPhone that doesn't sync to my other devices, so that I can set reminders that will only pop up on the iPhone.
Can anyone help with advice? Does iCal/iCloud handle this?

Have read the printer manual, it will contain instructions for connecting it to a network, and then to your Mac. You don't identify this printer so it's difficult to be more specific.
You can also go to the printer manufacturers website and seek assistance there.

Hello. In 2012 you answered a query about the following problem:
"I have had my MacBook Pro for over three years now, without much trouble, but recently I've been unable to send images that I have cut and pasted into Apple mail. I can attach an image that I have saved in my photos and it will send but I can not send an image that I have cut and pasted from the internet."
This problem started with me this morning and it does not happen when I open a test account. The thread stops after you asked if it occurs in the test account, did you ever find a solution to this issue? I am using mac mail 3.6 on system 10.5.8.
I hope you receive this, I have never posted in one of these forums.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

N8 Photo Editing - how to use the cut and paste?

Hello,
I am trying to edit some photos - there is a an option to use an ellipse or magic wand. I thought that was to cut and paste from the photos.
All I can do is select and area - but how do I cut it.
I tried save, but it saves the whole image...
Or am I just doing this wrong...
Thanks,

I was hoping to use the ellipse or magic want to cut and paste items in a certain shape to paste on other photos.
I could do this on my N95-4.
So there is no way to photo edit with cut and paste?
Any idea what the ellipse and magic wand function do, and how do they work?

While using marquee tool to cut and past section to new layer, outline stays transparent

Hello,
I am testing the trial version of Photoshop CS5.5 and I am experiencing a weird issue while using the marquee tool while selecting a portion of an image, cutting that section and pasting it to a new layer.
First off I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, 2.8Ghz Dual Core Processor, 4 Gigs Memory, 2 Gig Video card and current on updates with a fresh vanilla install of CS5.5. Not filters or plugin installed.
Step by step of issue is as follows,
I take an image on layer 1 and while using the marquee tool select and area on that image. I want to cut and Past In Place that selection on a new layer, layer 3.
This will allow me to insert another layer, layer 2, in between layer 1 and layer 3 and show what ever I place on layer 2 but still have a complete background if the image does not fill the entire transparent section.
A good example is a wanted poster. You have your picture frame with the Wanted letters and reward. In the center you have a transparent square. In the back you have a black background. In between the frame and the background you place a face. The face will not fill the entire sqaure so you will see some of the black back ground.
Now the problem appears to be that the dotted line of the marquee selection makes so you can see your selection stays transparent or deletes the ares directly unter it when you cut and past to a new layer. The transparent outline looks to be the same size of the dotted line when that selection is selected. I have looked and searched for this promblem and resolution but can not see one.
The picture below is the result after I deselect the area. You can see just above another section that I tried to cover up but did not get it all.
This is driving me nuts and I just can not figure out what is causing this behavior. If I try and stretch the section, it skews the contents out of proportion.
An suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated!
Marquee Selection, Animated Lines Cut And Past In Place And Selection Deselected
Thanks

Instead of cut, one way is to duplicate the layer and add a layer mask from the selection. Alt click on the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel to add a Layer Mask>Hide Selection.
Then you can put a layer in the middle.
The reason your seeing what's in your screenshot is the selection is anti-aliased,

Can't cut and paste in a web based e-mail service. (Not G-mail)

I can cut and paste in Microsoft Word and other programs with no problem. But when I'm on this particular site it's no deal.
This is very frustrating. What can I do to resolve the problem.

I've had this happen a couple of times. Seems it just gets a bit borked sometimes.
Best thing to do is close Pages (or whatever), then do an iOS reset (hold power button then home button till screen goes blank and apple logo comes up and then let go).
Cut copy paste should work again as normal.

Cut and paste from Word into Mail

I have an earlier post where I thought I had solved this problem, but now it's back with a twist:
I can cut and paste from Word, but after a few cut and pastes, it seems as if I can only paste the last successful section of text: copying new text from word seems to work, but when pasting into Mail, only the previous section of cut and pasted text appears.
I have checked the preferences within Mail, and they are set for plain text... so there should be no problem, yes?
I also tried quitting and then restarting Mail, but had the same problem...
Any advice?

Thanks, aqua*star -
I just checked the "archiving" and "back-up" suggestions in the Mail "Help" window and got the following info:
Mail preferences and messages
Your Mail accounts, rules, signatures, and Smart Mailboxes preference settings can easily be backed up. Tip: All Mail-related preference files should be backed up or restored as a group.
To back up:
Note: These steps back up Mail preferences, but do not back up Mail messages (emails), although you can do that with the .Mac Backup utility. See below if you want to manually back up Mail messages (mailboxes).
Create a uniquely-named folder on your desktop (or other favorite location). For example, you might call it "Mail Prefs Backups May152005" (adding a date is a good idea).
Quit Mail if it's running.
In the Finder choose Home from the Go menu.
Open the Library folder.
Open the Preferences folder.
Copy the "com.apple.mail.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file. Don't remove the original file from its current location (this file contains your Mail accounts information).
Close the Preferences folder.
Open the Mail folder.
Copy the "MessageRules.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (this file contains your Mail rules).
Copy the "SmartMailboxes.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (you guessed it, this file contains Smart Mailboxes information).
Finally, copy the Signatures folder to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the folder. (Your custom signatures, if you use them, are stored here.)
To restore: Just move all of the copies of the files and folders from your uniquely-named folder to the original locations from which they came, as listed above.
It looks like I can save and restore the Mail rules separately from the plist...

Cut and paste form HTMLDB to Excel

I have users who want to cut and paste from an HTMLDB report into Excel. This works fine if the browser is IE, but fails for Netscape, Mozilla, and FireFox. The failure is that only the first column of Excel gets populated, and it is populated with all the data for the row.
Is this Excel not interoperating well with the other browsers, or HTMLDB only working well in IE?

Neal,
This has everything to do w/browsers & Excel, and nothing to do w/HTML DB. If you're viewing the same page in HTML DB with MSIE or Firefox, it's the same HTML.
For example - do the same test w/a listing of topics in this OTN Forum (which is NOT written in HTML DB), and you will see the same results.
What you can do when using non-MSIE browsers is when you are in Excel, select "Paste Special..." and then choose Text. This seemed to do the trick for me.
Thanks,

Cut and paste problem in an applet :(

Hi All,
I have developed an applet based GUI and now I wanted to cut and paste some text from an external application say from a notepad(Windows) to a
JTextfield in the applet. I tried to do it on a applet but it was not allowing me to do it. I was able to do the same(cut and paste) on a textfield when run as an application. So does the cut and paste operation has anything to do with the sandbox security provided by an applet model?. This sounds bit crazy or maybe Im missing something here. Would appreciate help on this.
Thanks a ton!
Thanks,
Ram

You can always use CTRL-C and CTRL-V to copy/paste, but if you want to right-click, you have to implement it yourself.. Here's MY implementation, if even has 'Undo'!

Cut and Paste in Finder

I'm new to Mac and just wondering how I cut and paste, I know how to copy and paste.

To elaborate on the other answer:
1) The inability to cut and paste is a protection against cutting an "icon" - the file or folder - and then getting distracted and not pasting it, thereby effectively erasing it.
2) If you have both the source window (where the item is) and the target window (where the item's going) you can just drag it from one spot to another. That's obvious, and the problem is that you don't usually have the target window open. But you can use "spring-loaded folders" to make this work without having the target window open:
- In Finder preferences, General tab, check "Spring-loaded folders and windows" on - leave the Delay setting at Medium, or set it closer to Long till you get used to the feel of this.
- Back in the Finder, grab the icon you want to "cut and paste" and drag it to the folder that holds the target folder (even if the target folder is nested a few levels deeper). DON'T LET GO of the icon! Hover over the folder and it springs open - this works even if you're hovering over a folder in the sidebar; drag the icon over the next folder you need opened, let it spring open, and so on. When you get to where you want it to go, drop the icon there. (Drop it in the wrong place - Undo moves it back to the original location).

I want to cut and paste iCal entries on iPad. Have seen a number of questions raised but no definitive answer - is it possible or not? (I use Bento but that doesn't sync with ICal now so can use that solution)
