New to Imac - how do you view the clipboard?

How do I see the clipboard and have it open?

Are you saying your clipboard is not refreshing?
By default the clipboard should refresh every time you copy something. However there are some users that have problems and the clipboard keeps the same data even after copying new text. There is a script you can use to flush clipboard contents.
Enter the following into the Script Editor in Applications/Utilities
tell application "System Events" to set the clipboard to ""
Save as an Application. Put the Script app on your desktop to run.
FWIW, I recently had this problem after assigning shortcuts to Paste and Match Style. I had to do a PRAM reset followed by a Safe Boot to get my clipboard working again.
Reset PRAM
  1. Shut down your Mac.
  2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
  3. Turn on the computer.
  4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
  5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
  6. Release the keys.
Safe boot
*  shutdown
*  start the Mac and *wait* for the startup chime to sound
*  after the sound, press and hold down the shift key
*  keep holding and *wait* until the grey  Apple logo appears
*  now release the shift key and just wait (it could take a few minutes)
*  eventually the login screen appears with the words SAFE BOOT

    How do you view the size of your Ibook library? How do you view how many books are in your library?

    Open the iBooks app. All your iBooks should load there.
    You can see the file size for each iBook by clicking List from the menu bar top of the iBooks window.

    I would thin you just do what you did on your first machine.  If you getting rid of your  first machine you should you should lso sign our from the cloud desktop.   On your ne machine all you should need to do is install the cloud desktop application. Open it sign in to your ID with the subscription and install the products you do, Its the sign in the and account with a subscription the does the authenticating and activates products.

  • I just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes from my phone. It was replaced with whT was on my iMac how do you make the sync go from phone to desktop and not the other way around

    I Just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes I had on the phone. How do you have the info sync from phone to desktop and not the other way around as I usually make contact changes etc on my phone. I would then like to be able to sync that info from desktop to ipad thanks

    It does make sense.  The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
    The way it should work is as follows:
    Old computer content ---> New computer
    New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
    But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
    Old computer content ---> iPhone
    ... and ...
    New computer content <---> iPhone
    So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine.

  • How do you view the TO line in an email in the new format?

    When viewing an email, I do not see the TO line; I only see the sender's information, date/time and subject.  Even when I reply, it doesn't show the TO line. This is very important when determining to choose Reply or Reply to All.

    I am sorry the line is missing for you. Are you using the Verizon website to access your email or are you using an email program (Outlook, Mac Mail, Thunderbird, Windows Live mail, etc) ?

  • Once object code is compiled and converted to a CIN, how do you view the original c code?

    I am editing a VI written a few years ago, and I want to view the c code referenced by a CIN. I cannot find this original c code, so I want to know if Labview can allow me to find and view the native c code. Any suggestions?

    If the original C code is gone, then there's not much you can do. It's really no different then trying to view the original C/C++ code of an exe that you have like Excel.

  • Just got iMac - how do you remove the trial applications?

    I only got a 20" 2Ghz iMac, but upgraded to a 320Gb HDD.
    I see there is a trial of MS Office and iWorks on, how do I remove these to free up space?
    Also what else is considered bloatware on the iMac? or trials?
    Is everything totally installed on it from factory? ie is ll Garageband stuff installed?
    cheers

    First things first, unless some really poorly written 3rd patry app does someting it shouldn't, you don't need to re-install OS X on a regular basis. I have only had to wipe an OS X system once since 10.2 a few years ago, and that was my fault. This isn't like XP where the registry gets cluttered and the system gradually slows down, in general OS X is very resilient.
    You can certainly grab a number of apps that will do full disk images, but unless you are fanatical about playing with shareware and you dabble in the "less than legit" parts of peer to peer file sharing, you could likely get by with Time Machine as your back up source. Time Machine, buy default, backs up system directories, so if something gets corrupted or overwritten and you can narrow down the files, you could retore system files from Time Machine.
    For your personal data, Time Machine is a running daily backup of your personal data. There is a little more to it (only takes a snap shot every hour, so if you create a file and delete it before the next snapshot, it didn't get backed up, daiilys become weekly, weekly becomes monthly) but it's pretty safe. And you don't have to think about it, just happens in the background.
    If you add another external drive with FAT32 you are twice as safe. I use a TM drive and have an external NAS to share data with my other computers, no worries at all.

  • When your Shuffle is connected- How do you View the songs that are on it?

    So when I connect the shuffle to the computer it shows up in itunes. I can click on it and it takes me to the summary page with several tabs (music, podcast, etc), but I can't seem to figure out how to see what songs I have uploaded to the device? Any ways to figure this out, your help is appreciated

    Hello ThatcherWatts,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You need to click the small arrow on the left hand side your iPod's device name in the left hand pane of iTunes as seen in this photo (in this case the name of the iPod is in fact iPod ). Doing so will open up a small menu underneath.

  • How do you view the execution plan of a query?

    I want to see if a particular index was used for a specific query....

    Becareful. You are in the Forum of OBIEE. It's much more a database question.
    You can read an plan with a lot of tool. Toad permit it and I assume that Sql Developer also must give it.
    Otherwise, you can use the basic command of Oracle as explain plan :
