ITunes: I can no longer copy a playlist into a Pages (Word) document by using select all edit copy edit paste. Why won't this work now? All I get when I paste is a series of Speaker symbols.

I want to creat a copy of my playlists onto a Pages page. I selected all the entries in the playlist, then did Edit > Copy > Edit > Paste. I've done this lots of times before and it was fine; now when I paste all I get is a series of Speaker symbols, no text with of the playlist songs. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks.

How can I copy 8,000 titles of music from my pc to the new updated ITunes. I can no longer copy and paste them

I am trying to copy many titles of music from my pc to the latest I Tunes. I can no longer copy and paste them like I used to be able to do. I need serious help here. Any thoughts or resolutions? Frustrated

See also Repair iTunes Security Permissions and apply the suggested steps to the iTunes folder and the source media folder.
I may be reading too much into things, but is your media stored in a bunch of folders where each folder represents a playlist? If so my script ImportFolderStructure might be useful to you...

(v 5.5) I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another.

I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another in Illustrator (5.5). This started happening a few days ago. Restarting Illustrator and also my computer (Mac) didn't help. Any ideas?

To clarify: If I select an object in layer 1 using command/c or command/x then select layer 2 and press command/v the object gets pasted back into layer 1 instead of layer 2. I've tried everything I can think of and can't correct the problem.
Now the only way I can get an object from one layer to another is to drag it into another layer in the layers window.

Can no longer copy and paste data from CD to disk

For the last little while, I can no longer copy (right-click > Copy "DATA CD") and paste (right-click > Paste Item) a data CD to a drive.
i keep getting the error "This operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
This is whether I attempt to copy to system drive (Desktop) or volumes which have their permissions ignored.
Thanks,

Never mind. Apparently there was something going wrong with the Finder. I ran Onyx, and things are back to normal now. I was concerned because I actually saw similar but not identical behavior on two Leopard machines. Running Onyx on the 2nd one now.

I updated iTunes and can no longer find my playlists

I no longer have my playlists and more than half of my music is gone from my iTunes library? Where did it go?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Whatever AV you use I would recommend excluding the iTunes folder from any real time AV scanning process, however it would seem that AVG isn't currently obeying such exceptions.

Can no longer copy and paste with new version. Articles you provided did not help.

When I try to copy and paste in firefox it says I can't do it any longer. It's a security issue, and the "learn more" tab gives some abstruse directions about completely closing firefox, and then getting back in without opening it to a place I can't find.
Could you please tell me how to re-enable these necessary functions in an understandable way?

Is this only on one website? some websites disable copy and pasting for various reasons.
If this happens on every website, have you tried to start Firefox up in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]? It may be an extension causing the problem.
Also, go ahead and update to Firefox 11, since it does have several bug fixes (I don't recall anything related to copy and paste, but give it a go [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com] )
Or, you may have some sort of virus which is interfering with your copy and paste. Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]
Let me know if you are still having problems after these steps!

Using windows7..I can not longer copy and paste, cut and paste. what happened?

Using windows 7, on a Compaq Presario, for a time now, I am not able to cut and paste, or copy and paste. Used to work by right click, highlite copy, got to word page and paste. I cannot get right click to bring this box up. What is happening?

I can't either. It is helpful when needing a link to send to a classmate via email. I also can't copy address bar because the complete adress no longer shows. I like XP. My Vista does better. This is a major problem when doing large papers 4 class. I use Son of Citation. You have to be able to copy paste. I have enough class work to do I don't need more...

Can no longer copy and paste from MS apps

Could be a nightmare a-brewin'.
As webmaster for a transit company, I'm responsible for
updating the schedules for our 50+ bus routes three times a year on
piercetransit.org. So I opened one up today in Dreamweaver 8 and
launched our brand new version of Excel Mac 2008 to copy and paste
schedule times into a web page. And it didn't work!
Up til now, Excel has been an irreplaceable tool for
converting data from our weird, 70's-era bus scheduling software
[Hastus] into something Dreamweaver can understand. But no matter
how much I fiddle with options under Copy and Paste preferences,
today I got nothing -- literally. It's as if there's nothing
whatsoever on the clipboard. Earlier, I'd noticed the same problem
with our new version of Word, but since I rarely paste anything
into Dreamweaver from Word, I was only mildly irked by it. Given
the thousands of bus arrival and departure times on our site,
however, the inability to insert data from Excel into DMW would be
a disaster!
Am I just missing something, or is this some kind of "How
dare you use anything other than one of OUR products?"
gotcha from Evilco?

This has been an issue with Office 2008 for Mac even with the
CS3 version of Dreamweaver. I believe the only workaround is to do
a paste special as text only but you will lose formatting this way.
You can do a search on this forum also for other suggestions
because I didn't follow the old topics before because I didn't
upgrade till recently, but there might be some other tricks around
here.

Can no longer copy and paste filenames from the finder to other Apps?

Did Leopard remove the ability to copy a file or folder name in the finder, and then paste that into a text editor?
I have a need to copy file and folder names from the finder, then paste those names into BBEdit. I've been doing this for years. Now with Leopard, I can copy the file or folder names, and even see them in the clipboard of the Finder. But when I try to paste them into BBEdit, TextEdit, Word, Pages... nothing happens. And Paste is grayed out in the target application. As if I had never copied the item in the first place.
Can anyone else copy filenames in the finder? Or do I have a system-specific problem?

Never mind. Apparently there was something going wrong with the Finder. I ran Onyx, and things are back to normal now. I was concerned because I actually saw similar but not identical behavior on two Leopard machines. Running Onyx on the 2nd one now.

Can no longer copy and past jpg and gifs into InDesign from c:\user\doc\pics

Here is the error message we get when doing a copy and past from the hard drive to InDesign.
Error Message from InDesign:
Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing...
First, do I need to add a plug-in to be able to copy and past jpgs and gifs?
Second, we have always used clip organizer with no problem. Ability to copy and paste jpg & gif suddenly stopped. We get a box but no image ont the page. Have already tried dumping temp internet files through internet explorer. Have already un & re installed InDesign and repaired and fixed everything I could think of.
Third, we can use the place command to place jpgs but can not place gifs.
William (Helping Mrs. White)

It sounds as if Mrs White needs to search visually for graphics and then place them. She can either set Windows Explorer
to thumbnail view and drag a graphic on to an InDesign page - this will in effect be placing the graphic, not copying
and pasting, and is the right way to go. Or she can use File > Place, and set the view in the Explorer window that she
selects from in the Place command to a thumbnail view to see the graphics.
GIFs can be placed. They are not a recommended format, but if you are placing clip art then you may have no option.
So, in answer to your original question, no, you don't need a plug-in to place JPEGs and GIFs. But note that is place,
not copy and paste.

I can no longer load my playlist into my ipod easily like before...help! Please

Since doing the upgrade I find it much more time consuming to go through my songs and make playlists.
I figured out how to make the playlist finally, yet I can't get the playlist into my iPod!
If I try to select sync music, it tells me it will erase my iPod because it is not synced with "This" library,
I didn't create a new library, I simply took the advice to upgrade,......Big mistake

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried restarting the router, the Apple TV and iTunes.

Microsoft Word - Times New Roman will not print from my iMac. People send me Word documents, I must select all and choose another font. How can I fix this?

When anyone sends me a Word document via email as an attachment and I attempt to print it out, my printer always spits out a blank page. All Word documents seem to arrive using Times New Roman font. I must then return to the document, select all, reassign a different font, and it then prints okay. How can I fix this? It appears that Times New Roman font is part of my Font Book, and each version of the font (Italic, etc.) appears there in duplicate.

harpnt
Open the Font Book again, select the Times New Roman font set.
You'll see the duplicate warning. Select the fonts and go up to the EDIT menu,
and go down to RESOLVE DUPLICATES.
You might check for other duplicates while you're there, and resolve them.
RESTART your Mac to have the changes take effect.
Then try your docs again.
Any better.
