Image copy from safari to desktop

OS 10.9.4 MacPRO.
I can no longer "copy" an image from safari (Version 7.0.5 (9537.77.4)) by click&drag from the web -page to my desktop.
Appreciate your help with this issue.
Thank you

The finder preferences may be corrupted.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Finder.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Finder.plist file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try dragging an image to the Desktop.
Alternativies ..  Right or control click an image then click: Save Image As
Give the image a name then select Desktop in the Sidebar on the left then click Save.
That image shoud show up on your Desktop now.
You can control or right click then click Copy Image as well.

  • Application that allows to paste images copied from the web..

    hey guys.
    im looking for an application that allows to paste images copied from the web..
    ive tried a few but they only paste the next... anyone help?
    cheers.

    im assuming paste them on your phone to use as wallpaper etc?? if that's all you want to do, you don't need an app for that... when you find an image you like touch and hold for 3 or 4 sec. a dialogue box will appear asking you if you want to save the image, email it, etc... select save and it will appear in its own folder under photos as "saved images or photos"...
    hope it help

    There is no download for 10.4.x or 10.5.x, there is a very slim chance you can get 10.5 by calling Apple, but usually you can only get it on eBay & such.

  • Cannot drag and drop image from Safari to Desktop - drop location is unavai

    Drag and drop an image from Safari 2.0.4 to the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Desktop does not save it. Console says:
    "drop location is unavailable"
    Control click over the image and "Save Linked File to the Desktop" works as expected.
    Any hint most welcome. Thanks.

    Why not simply adjust the link for the image in the Links palette? Certainly could be contained in an action, if need be for duplicating and exporting multiple images...

  • Copy from safari and paste somewhere words is hard to use

    I want ot copy a art clip from safari and then paste it somewhere  I have word but it is very hard to use   I have numbers and the art clip can not be sized
    so where can I paste the art clip and be able to put in text and size, color, text, etc  then print

    Insert a Shape into Numbers first (from the drop down Shapes menu in the top of Numbers).
    Then drag the image from Safari into the Shape you have created (not into a cell in Numbers).
    You can then resize the shape and if you click on the shape you can adjust the mask which will control how much of the image you can see.

  • I have a long article I copied from Safari. I want to paste it in pages and save as document. Every time I try to do that, only what fits on one page of Pages appears. How do I copy the whole document? It would fit in five or six Pages pages.

    How do I copy a long page from Safari as a document in Pages? When I try to do it, I'm only able to get what fits in one Pages page. It would fit in ten or so.

    I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

  • Fix blurry images downloaded from Safari (The semi-easy way)

    Hi, I've noticed a couple of people around here have had problems with image quality (blurry images) whenever an image was saved to the camera roll from Safari.
    Turns out, there is a simple fix for this!
    This fix requires a drawing app such as Brushes (Or any drawing app where you can take an image from your camera roll, and save to your camera roll).
    Now, just open the image that is blurry in the selected drawing app.
    Notice anything? The image is no longer blurry! Woo!
    Now just save the image back to your camera roll, and delete the old blurry image. You won't be needing it anymore.
    Problem solved.
    (I think opening the picture in the drawing app reduces the size of said picture, making it less blurry. I'll try this the next time I find a blurry image to see the changes in quality. I'll also include a picture guide for those that don't understand how to do this (But would you really need it :P))
    Hope this helps all that have this problem!

    Like I said, I noticed a lot of people having this problem, so I decided to post this to hold everyone over until the problem is fixed. Maybe this problem will secretly be fixed in the 3.0 update? It certainly is easier and quicker than uploading the blurry photo itself into a program such as Photoshop and editing the dimensions there.

  • Dragging images from Safari to Desktop, image goes to random location

    Hi Everyone,
    Problem is being experienced on a Retina MBP, in a laptop-screen + 2 more setup: one through Thunderbolt to DVI, and the other using HDMI to DVI.
    It's pretty easy to reproduce.  I open Safari up, not fullscreen, and drag an image that's in the browser (e.g., a picture in a Google images search), onto a specific space on the desktop.  When I let go, it saves, but the icon for that image on the desktop is anywhere _but_ where I dropped it.  It seems purely random, I can't establish a pattern.
    From hereon it it's probably venting, so I'll spare you guys!
    My desktop view options are set to "Sort By: None".
    Screen 1: 15" Retina MBP
    Screen 2: Dell LCD 1680x1050
    Screen 3: Dell LCD 1680x1050
    I don't experience this when not in multi-monitor mode.  Using any of the external monitors, be it one or two, seems to be a part of the problem.  Could this be a bug to do with Safari, retina, and external displays?
    Thanks.
    Alex

  • What is the "iOS rich content paste pasteboard type" when copying from Safari?

    When I copy text from a website in Safari, two pasteboard items are created. This is the output of [pasteboard items]
            "Apple Web Archive pasteboard type" = < [...archive...] >;
            "public.text" = "pages of a journal,";
            "iOS rich content paste pasteboard type" = <694f5320 72696368 20636f6e 74656e74 20706173 74652070 61737465 626f6172 64207479 7065>;
    What is the "iOS rich content paste pasteboard type" all about? What does the data actually represent? Is this representation ever used by other apps?
    Thanks.

    Since your problem is not connected to your hardware, it would probably be better to post it in the software forum for the OS X version you are using:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os?view=discussions
    MS Word's spellcheck is generally independent of OS X, so you may want to also search/ask about how to keep its language setting from changing in the forum devoted to that product  (if you have not done so already):
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macword
    I think there is most likely no way to change the way Safari and Clipboard behave.  The best chance is with Word.

  • Tiff Decompressor needed for Images copied from PDF?

    I typed in "Tiff decompressor" into Photoshop's Help (which was no help as is common), and also did a forum search, but nothing came up.
    Before I go any further, a message to those who write Helps:
    i make sure that every term that is used within the program, including its error messages, is findable in Help.
    Some background: I'm generating a book that has lots of photos that are higher resolution than required for final print. I don't know of any way that I can resample them all to 300 dpi at final print size other than exporting to PDF. I don't want to print just yet. I want to resample all the images to reduce the total size of the book for archiving purposes. So I've exported all the chapters to PDF simply as a way of resampling all the images, then I can backup the PDFs and use those as the archive for the 300 dpi images.
    Problem: when I tried to get back an image from one of these PDFs, to make sure it was really 300 dpi, I did this:
    1. Selected the image in the PDF.
    2. Copied it.
    3. Opened a new document in Photoshop CS.
    4. Pasted.
    5. Got a message that said: "Quicktime and a Tiff (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture."
    Trusty Google, did a much better job of solving the problem. It turns out if I open Preview and then select File > New From Clipboard, the image is imported into Preview from where I can save it as a Tiff image that PS is able to open.
    Q1: If Preview can do it, why can't PS. given that the image originally came from PS, went into InDesign, then to PDF... but it won't come back straight to PS. Why?
    Q2: How do I extract an image from a PDF and get it straight into PS?
    Q3: The image (when I do get it into PS via Preview) has been flattened. Is there any way to keep all the layers.
    Q4: Is there any way I can avoid all the above steps (InDesign > PDF > Preview > PS) when all I want to do is extract all the images from an InDesign document, have them resampled to 300 dpi (not only downsampled; resampled preferably, up and down), and send them to a folder for archiving.

    >Q2: How do I extract an image from a PDF and get it straight into PS?
    In Acrobat and not the reader version:
    Option click twice with the Touch Up Tool. This will open the embedded Photoshop file in Photoshop directly with the correct resolution when the PDF was saved. Be careful to note that Grayscale files as well as Spots will open with a dialog of "unsupported color space" It's a bug you just have to live with for now.

    You don't want to go there...

  • Error (Err 02) in Canon 7D Mark II when doing image copy from SD to Flash card; is this a bug?

    Using hardware and firmware as:- Camera: Canon 7D Mark II firmware ver. 1.0.4.- Flash card (1): Kingston 64 GB ultimate 266X- SD card (2): SanDisk 32 GB Extreme 60 MB/s Both cards where bought from authorized dealer, and looks genuine. Steps to generate the error:1: Test SD card (2) on PC with H2testw with no problems2: Format Flash card (1) in camera3: Format SD card (2) in camera, using low level format4: Take 1505 JPG images in high resolution to the SD card (2)5: Copy images from SD card (2) to Flash card (1) After copying of about 200 images, this resulted in error "Err 02", which cays:"Card2 cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change card2 or format card2 with camera." The problem had occurred previously with a Lexar SD card, so the above steps were made in order to reproduce the error and describe the exact steps taken for the error to occur. Are there anybody else that experience the same error ? Does this look like a bug in the Canon 7D Mark II using firmware ver. 1.0.4, or is there a way I can make it work ? Best regardsMortenZdk 

    Canon 2nd level support contacted me yesterday.
    They said that this issue was unknown in their system.
    In order to proceed they needed to read out additional error information from the camera, and such read-out is only possible on an authorized service size, since the software for such read-out is not available for users.
    Canon where not interested in providing me the software to do the error read-out, so I could send this to them for further investigation in relation to the support case.
    I suggested that the support person should request that such software for error read-out is made available for the end user, in order to provide further information in relation to support case, but the support person was not interested in going forward with such an idea.
    Canon were not interested in trying to reproduce the problem them self, even through I offered to send them the SD and Flash cards that caused the problem.
    So all Canon could do was to tell me to spendt additional time and money sending the camera to a service size, and then having to miss the camera for 14 days during while the service site investigates.
    I must admit, that this has left me with a bad experience in relation to buying a relatively expensive Canon camera together with high-end brand memory cards. In my opinion, it looks like Canon is not giving the end user any good ways of determined the reason for an error, which could lead to product improvement for example a firmware fix.  All I can do, if I want to move on this this, and potentially help Canon fix their product, is to spend additional time and money sending the camera to a service size.
    There is definitely room for improvement! 

  • Dragging images from browser to desktop - don't appear where dropped

    I am not sure it it's a browers' or system weirdness:
    in my view options I have set my desktop to not align icons to grid.
    when I drag an URL from browser to desktop it appears exactly where I've dropped it.
    when trying to do the same with images (dragging from browser onto desktop) they jump/align with other icon/files I already have on my desktop.
    this happens only since I've installed 10.6
    I've tested with different browsers and realized this only happens with firefox and camino...(in safari it works as expected).

  • Can no longer save image from Safari??

    Since iOS 6 upgrade, the "save image" feature from safari is gone!  There's a bunch of other options (message, email, copy, etc...), but no way to save an image I find online into my camera roll.

  • ITunes 9.0.2 rejects album art from Safari drag source

    When editing audio tracks in iTunes 9.0.2 (25), I find that I can no longer directly drag and drop album art from remote Internet-based source in Safari into the album art space when I get info on tracks. The drag and drop operation signals that it receptive to the drop action by displaying a target rectangle around the album art space, but the album art refuses to copy to the files. The workaround is to drag the image file from Safari to the Finder desktop, then drag it from the desktop to the album art spot in iTunes.
    Can anyone else confirm this bug?

    This is the post I did a few days back:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2215713&tstart=0
    Roy B suggested you can drag the artwork from Safari directly to the lower left corner of the main iTunes window. There are two inconvenience problems:
    (1) You have to be playing the song in order to drag the artwork.
    (2) Because it si located in the lower left, I always have to move iTunes window over in order to drag the artwork from Safari.

  • Why can't I "add photos to photo.app" from Safari?

    I only use Safari for the ability to grab and "add" photos or images directly from Safari into (previously - iphoto) but now it's Photo.app. Why does this feature cease to work? Why are there so many more steps to using Photo.app. I do not think this is an improvement to download to my drive then go to the Photo.app to then import the image. 
    My OS is 10.10.3. Am I the only one having this issue? Anyone find a workaround because Firefox is the clear winner if this little feature has been stripped away in Photo.app.

    My irritations and query is because that option no longer works for me. The option is "available" but does nothing to right click for the menu options to "add to photo". It produces no action whereas it use to direct right into iphoto where I could make quick notes or the reference regarding why I wanted the image.
    I can only download the image then go and import into Photo.app. I can't even drag the image over in order to make quick notes while I remember why I was collecting the image in the first place.
    I am not sure if there are enough users of Photo.app at this time having this issue or at least not enough powerusers who relied on this once handy feature to note the disappearance in Photo.a
    I wrote this up as a feature request. I hope others do too. Or tell me how to resolve this because I don't think Apple software engineers have considered the break in communication between Safari and Photo.app. Maybe it's intentional. IDK
