Is there a file size limitation on the cut and paste function in OSX?

I have noticed that sometime I am able to cut and paste files and sometimes I can only copy them.  Is there a limitation in the system and if so what is it?  I have also that sometimes I get the option to keep a duplicate file and sometimes it will only allow me to replace it.  Clarity anyone?

You should not be able to "cut" a file at all, regardless of its size. Files can only be copied.
Depending on where you copied it from and where you are trying to copy it to, you may be able to only copy.
If the enclosing folder has an ACL that denies delete, then you wont be able to move it, only copy.

  • I've suddenly lost the Cut and paste function.... Firefox or system problem?

    In the last 2 -3 days I do not get the cut and paste options when I highlight and right click. This is across the board.

    Start Firefox in a special diagnostic mode called "Safe mode:"
    * Click the Firefox button and in the help menu, select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
    * Or in Firefox 4-9, hold down '''Shift''' while selecting the shortcut you normally use to open the browser
    * ''For now if you encounter a Safe Mode window, select <u>Continue in Safe Mode</u>.
    If your problem is gone with Safe Mode, it is most likely caused by an add-on. Read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] to find the culprit.

  • Is there a file size limitation to using this service?

    I am working on a large PDF file (26 mb) and I need to re-size the original and mess with the margins. I don't beleive there is an easy way to do this in Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Pro. It sounds like I have to convert the file back to a Word document, do the adjustments there and then produce a new PDF. I have two questions:
    Is there a file size limitation to using this service?
    Will a PDF to Word doc. conversion mantain the format of the orginal PDF?
    Thanks

    Good day Tim,
    There is a 100MB file size limitation for submitting files to the ExportPDF service.  As for the quality of the conversion, from our FAQ entitled Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and formatting information?:
    Adobe ExportPDF is capable of exporting high quality information, but the quality of your Word or Excel document depends on the quality of the PDF file you start with. For instance, if your PDF file was originally authored in Microsoft Word or Excel and converted to PDF using the PDFMaker functionality of Adobe Acrobat®, your PDF file contains a rich set of information that can be captured by Adobe ExportPDF. This includes relative positioning of tables, images, and even multi-column text, as well as page, paragraph, and font attributes.
    If your PDF file was originally authored using simpler PDF generation methods, such as “print to PDF” or “scan to PDF” options, Adobe ExportPDF will convert any recognizable text and then use sophisticated conversion intelligence to preserve as much of the page layout as possible.
    Please let us know if you have any other questions!
    Kind regards,
    David

  • Web.Show_Document - Is there a file size limitation?

    It appears that Web.Show_Document has a problem displaying large .pdfs.
    Example: A .pdf size of *2505 KB* would not display, however I compressed the .pdf to *1172 KB* and the report displayed using web.show_document successfully.
    I am displaying the .pdf in an Oracle forms using web.show_document. The user presses a button (View Report) and it displays the report. Except, now it is not displaying reports close to 2000 KB in size.
    The error says **"Exhausted Resultset"**
    Is there a file size limitation with web.show_document?
    Environment Background:
    Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.4.1.0 (Production)
    Oracle Toolkit Version 9.0.4.1.0 (Production)
    PL/SQL Version 9.0.1.5.1 (Production)
    Report Builder 9.0.4.1.0
    ORACLE Server Release 9.0.1.5.1
    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production

    As already mentioned, WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT has nothing to do with file size. This command simply sends a url to the system's default browser. There is no Oracle magic here.
    To the problem, you said:...The error says **"Exhausted Resultset"**Where are you seeing this message?
    Is Forms generating this message?
    Is this a custom message?
    Is this the complete message text?
    Is there an error number?
    This does not appear to be a Forms generated error message.
    I would suggest your store a large file in the same location as where your reports are located. The file should be of the same format (i.e. pdf). Open a browser and manually enter the necessary url to retrieve the content. I suspect the same problem would reproduce IF you believe the problem only occurs when the form calls WEB.SHOW. If it does reproduce then you have at least simplified the problem to a client browser requesting a document from a server.

    I did not sync my iPad to iTunes to my PC. Now my iPad is disabled because I forgot my passcode when I installed iOS 7 to it.
    Before anyone cuts and pastes the info from Apple support in response to this, I have already tried those steps. iTunes simply states that it cannot do anything since the iPad is locked with a passcode. I cannot access iCloud to use that specific advice as iCloud will not let me sign in; a message keeps coming up reading that there is an error with the server. Remote Swipe? Not sure. It is three hours later, and I am no further.
    What else can I do? I never had a passcode set up when I first got my iPad. I would have bypassed this with the installation of iOS 7 if I had known about this.
    Thank you in advance.

  • 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...

    I could do this on my N95-4.

  • Does iPhoto '11 have the copy and paste function?

    On my old MacBook the iPhoto allowed for the copying and pasting of adjustments, on my iPhoto '11 where the copy and paste option used to be there's nothing.

    Terence -
    I tried that, but it didn't work .. and I discovered why.  The key was in the last word of your sugg's first line:  "move."  I don't want to MOVE the pic, I want to COPY it to another event, and following your suggs produced this box:
    So, with your and the Old Toad's help, I now see I was pounding sand - can't do it!  Unless we can get the iPhoto developer gurus to add that capability, we'll have to consider this case ... Closed.
    Thanks, guys!

  • Any news to the copy and paste problem with osx 10.9 ms rdc client?

    we have a new macmini with 10.9 and we work with microsoft remote desktop client 8.0.5,

    Hi,
    Yes, it is not supported in the current versions.
    The workaround is to use folder redirection.
    Folder redirection enables access local folders during the remote session. Click the + button at the bottom of the dialog and choose a folder you want to have redirected.
    Configure Folder Redirection
    1. Click the + button.
    2. In the Add Local Folder window, enter the following information:
    • Name: Set a name for the folder to be available during the remote session.
    • Path: Select the path to the folder to be available during the remote session.
    3. Click the exit button to save the remote desktop.
    Thanks.

  • Is there a file size limitation when using Adobe Send?

    What is the largest file I can upload using Adobe Send?

    At this point, we have resolved the virtually all of the issues that users were encountering with uploading large files through Adobe Send.
    Although there is no 'hard' limit, you should be able to send files of 2GB and larger.

  • Pages: I can't cut and paste sections because selecting a section inactivates the "cut" and "paste" command.  Likewise, I can't select adjacent sections because, even with "Shift" key depressed or dragging, the second DESLECTS the first.

    I've got a MacBook Pro with iOS Yosemite 10.10.1 with recently updated Pages word processor software that doesn't allow me to select multiple sections; delete a single selected section, cut, copy or paste a section.  When I try to select multiple adjacent sections by shift/clicking or by dragging beside the thumbnails, the first section becomes deselected when I hit the second one.
    Is my software corrupted?
    Should I make an appointment at the "Genius Bar"?

    No. Just use Pages '09 if you still have it.
    Pages 5 is just missing a lot of features.

    You need to set Copy'n'Paste security policies for that domain in Firefox.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 file size limits?

    Hi a friend needs to create a 37hr uncompressed AVI file (by combining an avi of pictures and mp3 of audio of a performance) and is wondering if it can be done using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014, ie are there any file size limits? Any comments much appreciated.

    Would be interesting to know how you are going to store that. 37 hours of HD uncompressed in an AVI wrapper requires around 24 TB of free disk space on a single volume. That means you would need  something like 12 x 3 TB drives in Raid6 + 1 HS, requiring at least a 16 port raid controller for those 13 disks, just for the output file. Due to fill rate degradation, that is cutting it thin. Additionally at least a X79 or X99 motherboard with 2011 socket is necessary.
    Next question is, who would be crazy enough to marathon-watch 37 hours of a performance?
    You may consider another workflow, not uncompressed and not 37 hours.

  • File size limitation to import into imove

    I can't import a movie into imove that is 999 mb. Does this application have a file size limitation. The file is saved as a *.m4v. Thanks for your help using imovie 09.

    EyeTV should have an iMovie 09 Preset. That should make sure there are no extra tracks included.
    Another way to get files out of EyeTV3...
    Get MPEG Streamclip, which is free.
    IN EyeTV 3, right click on the recording, and Reveal in Finder
    Right click on the .eyeTV file in the finder and SHOW PACKAGE CONTENTS
    Drag the .mpg file into MPEG Streamclip.
    FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME from MPEG Streamclip, choosing Apple Intermediate Codec.
    Import this AIC file, which will be in a .mov container, into iMovie.
    Note: You may need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component for this to work. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you do. It costs $20 from Apple.
