If I try to cut and paste to firefox from another site or document, it wont paste- why not?

I have tried to move some text from my website forum on Explorer and Facebook to my website opened in firefox, but nothing happens, just comes up with a vertical cursor, like a capital letter I, but no text pastes.

Let's start with the assumption that it's most likely to be a temporary glitch.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox menu) > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the AOL webmail site:
Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Here you can remove your individual aol cookies.
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Any improvement?
Microsoft Word has a special way of constructing HTML that preserves attributes unique to Word documents. However, when you paste that special HTML into a webmail editor, it may not be interpreted the same by different sites, all of which want to cleanse dangerous elements from that HTML. Maybe AOL has changed something? Do you know whether the messages appear blank in other browsers?
As a temporary workaround, if the messages do not contain embedded images or other non-textual elements, you could strip the HTML formatting by first pasting into a plain text editor such as Notepad, then copying from there and pasting into your email. To restore formatting (e.g., bold, italic, underline), you would need to use your webmail program's tools.
Finally, I'm not familiar with Firefox 5.1.9. Could you double-check that version number?

When I try to cut and paste my resume into an online job website the reume' will not highlight ( select All), any ideas?

When I try to cut and paste my resume' into an online job website it will not highlight, ( select all), I can click and drag it into the empty box but then it becomes an attachment. What am I doing wrong? Help!

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

Cut and Paste will not work

I have a Toshiba Satellite/Satellite Pro C50-A series laptop I bought new in December 2013. It has Windows 8 on it. I did the upgrade to windows 8.1 almost immediatley so I cannot remember if my control c / control v, cut and paste worked in 8 or not. But it will NOT work in 8.1 for most of my programs. I desperately need it to work on my All My Movies database software from Bolide software and my Green Eclipse sticky notes. And cut and paste will NOT work AT ALL for those programs. It works sometimes for my email and my Apache Open Office word processor.
I have contaced microsoft who's tech did something Tuesday morning to get it working. But then I booted down my computer and went to bed and when I booted it up, yep, no more cut and paste ability again! So I tried contacting microsoft this morning around 2:30am and they said it was an OEM problem and to contact Toshiba.
I have even run a sfc /scannow twice and get the same error message:
sfc /scannow      ran 1/22 1:30am
results: windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
for ex c:\windows\Logs\CBS/CBS.log
note that logging is currently not supported in offline servicing scenarios
The above error message I WAS ABLE to cut and paste FROM my green eclipse sticky note to this forum! But when I tried to cut and paste this message back to a NEW sticky note......NOTHING!
I hope someone here can provide a permanent solution to fix this! It may seem minor but I do a LOT of cut/pasting!
frustrated!!!!

There are dozens of possibilities, Lisa.
Which C50-A do you have? There is a label on the bottom.
What security applications do you have installed? Webroot is a common offender.
Do you have Microsoft Office installed? If so, which version?
Do you use Bluetooth?
Did you upgrade to Windows 8.1 properly, following carefully the instructions here?
   How to Update from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1
Find a situation that always gives you trouble, so that know when we learn something.
Then see if that trouble occurs after a clean boot.
   1. Open the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe). You can do that by typing msconfig at the Start screen and pressing Enter.
   2. On the Services tab, set the Hide all Microsoft services check box and then click Disable all.
   3. On the Startup tab, click Open Task Manager, right-click and disable each Startup item. Then close Task Manager.
   4. Back on the System Configuration screen, click OK, and restart the computer.

In SharePoint Document Library Cut and Paste option not working correctly.

Hi,
I have a SharePoint Document Library which has the following.
Folder1 which contains two files named as a File1 and File2
Folder1 ------------> File1 & File2
Folder2 has no files.
Now i am cut the file "File2" from Folder1 and paste in to Folder2.
Issue is "File2" not permanently remove from "Folder1". It is retaining in "Folder1" It self.
Can anyone tell me. What is the issue in it?
Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hi Poomani,
According to your description, “File 2” still exists in Folder1 after it is been cut and paste to Folder2.
Can you provide more details about how you perform the operations?
I tried to move the file between folders in a library in the two ways below, both work without issue:
1. “Open with Explorer”: cut and paste the file in the Windows Explorer interface;

2. In the “Site Content and Structure”, use the “Move…” feature of a library;

Feel free to reply if there any progress.
Best regards,

Is it possible to export my contacts? if so how? cut and paste does not help as all i need is the name

all my contacts have cell phone numbers next to their name. i would like to print a list of only this field. How do i do this? i tried to cut and past to Excel but it not a "clean fit" and is more trouble than it is worth. is there an easier way?

Firefox does not have a contacts list. Any contacts list will be part of a website that you are using, you need to contact the support for the site to see if they have an option to export the contacts.

SQL DEVELOPER cut and paste does not work, slow and cannot work fast.

I have lots of difficulties using SQL Developer, the cut/paste does not work properly, when I type search in he code editor it just paste or type the test in the source code not in the serach box. Very hectic I'm pallning to swicth to TOAD until they a a good version.

Hello Aukhez,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with SQLDeveloper - personally, I've never had any problems with cut/copy/paste and searching, and I've been using SQLDeveloper from v1.0 to the current version, on practically every version of the JDK from 1.5-1.6u16 on both Windows and Linux.
Sorry to state the obvious, but perhaps if you could provide a bit more specific information - such as platform, version, etc - and details of what you tried to do, someone here might be able to help...? Regarding speed, there are quite a few things you can do to make this better, but again, without knowing your setup, it's hard to give you proper directions. Plus, you'll find numerous threads here and on google about what you can do to improve speed.
Regards,
John

Might try calling Apple to see if you can either get replacement originals, or Retail Tiger Disk, might have to talk to a product specialist & explain the no Disks deal.
You can check eBay, just be ertain the disks work for your particular model, many/most are machine specific.

How do you cut and paste tables in and out of Excel from either Mail.app or Outlook 2011?

When I try to cut and paste a table generated in Excel for Mac into the body of an email the formatting holds but when I send the table is reduced to one column. Same is true for copying from incoming mail into Excel, when I paste into Excel it is reduced to one column rather than keeping the table format. I have tried using mail.app and went out and Outlook 2011 and both programs have the same issue. The reformatting also happens when I forward an email received from a coworker that contains a table, not just on cut and paste operations.
I need to do this regularly and right now my only option is using my old PC where the cut and paste function keeps formatting between Excel and Outlook just fine. Attaching a pdf or excel file is not an option. There has to be a way to maintain the formatting and being able to extract the tables keeping them intact. Please let me know if you have a solution to maintain this formatting within email programs. Thank you in advance.

Selecting all does not help - the issue is I need a table within an incoming email to be moved to excel, edited and then pasted back into a new email. "Select All" picks up the email headers, signatures, any messages around the table etc so that doesn't work. Also, as pointed out above Excel doesn't have a select all feature to get the tables back into the body of an email.
I just tried again going from Excel into Outlook 2011. No luck. All one column down the left side of the email. All columns are removed and text crammed into one column. Just to check I cut from one Excel document and pasted into another and it retained all formating just fine. It is only in and out of Outlook that seems to be the issue.

Finder crashes when i cut and paste

For the last few days, every time that i try to cut and paste files from one folder to another through the finder, finder crashes and i have to relaunch. interestingly, the files are actually pasting properly into the destination folder notwithstanding that finder hangs and stops responding every time. this has been happening with file folders that are about 150 - 250 Mbs in size. All that i'm doing is command-a (select all), command-c and then in the destination folder, command-v. The screen pops up which says that the computer is gathering info about the files to be pasted and then the swirly "working" mouse icon comes on and doesn't leave. Eventually i have to relaunch finder. This has happened about 10 times in a row. I'm not running any other applications at the time (other than widgets).
Any thoughts? Thanks.

I'm going to ask around in the meantime run Repair Disk and see if it turns anything up:
EDIT: Actually, you can run "verify disk" from Disk Utility on your Mac. If that turns up anything then follow the instructions to repair.
Steps for using Disk Utility
1. Insert your Mac OS X CD-ROM disc or Restore DVD disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key until you see the spinning gear..
2. Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6. Click Repair.
If you repair errors run it until no errors found.

When I cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I get an error stating 'Out of memory, close applicantions and restart windows'. This does not work. When I had IE I never had this issue. Help!

When I try to cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I receive an error that says 'Not enough memory, close applications and restart windows'. This never works! I never had this issue with IE! How can I fix this issue?

If the crashing only happens with other peoples projects it could be for a variety of reasons. There are tons of asset references saved in the library (the location every item was imported from) and much more. None of those locations will exist on your system and internal complications may simply happen, especially with any runtime shared assets.
If possible you should consider adding more system RAM so you can multi-task. RAM is extremely cheap. I'm assuming from a smaller 500GB HD and 4GB RAM that you're probably on a laptop however. Installing RAM is still usually pretty easy if you have the notebook manual (or grab it online). It typically involves just lifting the keyboard or opening a single panel on the bottom of the notebook but it varies greatly. At any rate, 8GB RAM would help you quite a bit. If you do, just make sure you get the correct type of RAM (again, in the specs in your manual).
Even when you run out of physical RAM, Flash (like any other application) will still see more RAM based on the OS's swap memory setting (using available space on your HD as RAM). It will get much slower but Flash should see the total amount the 32bit OS can handle for RAM (it doesn't know if it's physical fast RAM or SWAP (fake) HD RAM though). If you open other apps with Flash they should also operate, but will also use swap RAM and you've probably noticed your HD crunching a lot while more apps are open.
That said, I have a 4GB RAM in my older i7 lappie and have used Flash CS5.5 and CS6 on it extensively, with other applications open. Although my projects contain mild assets and mostly tons of code. No issues at all. I just think your heavy assets are crashing you.
Either way, glad you got your work done. You're welcome and good luck!

Bug With iTunes 6 cut and paste?

I've just installed iTunes 6, when I try to cut and paste lyrics into the lyrics box, it doubles the paste (it does it twice). I'm not having this problem in any other app, and I've rebooted, and it is still happening. Very very very annoying. Has anyone else had this problem. Is there a work around? I've replicated the problem on my G5 desktop.

Yes, but that was posted before 6.0.1, and they didn't fix it in 6.0.1...
He did not say it would be in the next update (6.0.1) which cam out very quickly, but that it would be fixed in a future update. At least you know they are aware of the problem and are working on it.

Cut and Paste fail (6.0.1)

When I try to cut and paste a graphic from Safari to Keynote, Keynote places a new text box. Do the same with Pages and the grapic appears. Why won't the graphic appear in Keynote? What's the deal?

Drag and drop will work, but it appears that sone Keynote code has not been aligned to numbers and Pages yet (since it works there). Keynote has a problem with which bit of data to pull from the clipboard when pasting.

Robohelp Crashes when I cut and past

Does anyone have a solution to this problem which has cropped
up over the past couple of days?
I am using RH6. When I try to cut and paste text, or copy -
all standard word-style functions, RH crashes. I have trued the
usual tricks to repar my corrup[ed database, but the problem will
not go away. I recently tried to import a word document, which I
suspect has cause the problem. Now, how do I fix this?

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to copy and paste.
I've found that when I try to copy and paste links that
appear in a list in the WYSIWYG editor, RH crashes. If I do the
copy and paste in the TrueCode editor, it works just fine. If your
topics are in a list, make sure you add the necessary HTML (
<ul> <li> </li> </ul> ).
If you're trying to copy and paste an entire topic, this
won't work for you.

If I try to cut and paste to firefox from another site or document, it wont paste- why not?
