No cut (Command x) and past, or shift click?

What happened to cut and paste, and shift click?

Dunno, what happened to those things?  They still work as they always have on my system.  What are you expecting that is not happening?

  • Who else does not have cut and paste, or shift click anymore on Lion?

    I can't cut and paste anything, and shift click doesn't work like it normally should. Shift click is acting like command shift insead of selecting everything between. Please, no ******** answers.

    You don't have your numbers lock on or a shift key jammed or something do you? I have been using Lion since it was released and have never had nor seen an issue with the keyboard as yet. That's not to say you are not having one. Is it happening in particular programs? Have you installed any third party programs along the line like TypeIt4Me or such?

  • How do I cut or copy and paste a photo from a website to my desktop?

    I cannot cut or copy a photo from any website and paste it to my desktop. How do I do this?

    Pointing, clicking, and getting around
    When you move your mouse or finger on a trackpad, you control a pointer (also known as a cursor) that moves across your screen. The pointer allows you to select and interact with the various items on your screen, including selecting files, clicking buttons, dragging sliders, and so on. Sometimes the pointer may look like a hand, a crosshair, an I-beam, or another icon, depending on what you're doing and the application you're using.
    For example, if you're using Safari to view this webpage and move the pointer across it, notice that it turns into an I-beam when you move it over text or a text field. When you see this, you can usually interact with the text or field below it. When you move the pointer over a button or link, the pointer turns into a hand, letting you know that you can click on the item.
    Depending on what you're doing and what application you're using, your pointer (far left) may change appearances
    Clicking your mouse button or trackpad button once allows you to select the item that your pointer is on. In other words, if your pointer is on a file's icon, clicking once will select it. If the pointer is on a button or link, clicking once will activate it. If your pointer is on a text field, clicking once highlights the field and allows you to start typing text in it.
    If you want to open a file, folder, or application, click your mouse button or trackpad twice. This is known as double-clicking. In general, you'll need to double-click items if you want to open them from a Finder window or the desktop. The exception to this is opening stuff from the Dock—just click once on an icon in the Dock to open it.

  • Cut and paste on left click mouse doesn't work & manage search engine choices non-existtant

    I can no longer cut and paste from any website with the mouse. I have also lost the search engine choices (and the engine itself)
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == new version of firefox was updated to 3.6.6

    Sounds like at least the Mouse is going out, open Sustem Preferences>Mouse, change the primary button to the right one, does the right button now work like he left one should?
    Just thinking, it could jast as likely be the KB, maybe the control key stuck? Does the Mouse work if you disconnect the KB?

  • I am cutting a graphic and pasting it into another photoshop file, it is in color when I cut..

    ..but pastes in black and white.  What am I doing wrong?

    You are most likely pasting into a grayscale document. Check at the top of your window of your target document to see whether it says "Grayscale" or "RGB."
    It's less likely, but you might also have a single channel selected on your channels palette while previewing RGB.

  • Want to cut one picture and paste it on another

    Hi,folks,
    I'm a first time poster, so thanks in advance for the help
    My daughter's birthday is coming up, and she wants to be able to play reporter. I found a press pass jpg online, and I want to cut a picture of her and place it over part of the press pass picture.
    The 2 main words on the original JPG are white  with a black background. They are separated by a white field I'd also like to be able to change that black background ONLY to pink (she's 10 years old).
    Can this be done with iPhoto, or will I need another app to do this. If I do, can you also point me to some tutorials for that app?

    No, not a job for iPhoto, you'll need an editor for compositing.
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • How to cut and paste in os x lion

    if i need to cut a folder and paste it somewhere else ,, what would i do ? also in the edit menu i find the cut option is inactive ,,why ? any help

    The above instructions will make a copy of the file in the new location, leaving the original in its place.
    To CUT and paste you:
    (1) Highlight file/folder, and copy from Edit menu or command-c.
    (2) Navigate to destination, hold option key down and select "Move item here" from Edit menu, or hit option-command-v.
    This will move the file to the new location, removing the file from the old location.

  • Cut and paste form one email to another works erratically with this release.

    Occasionally use portions of a received email to forward on - use cut (cntl C) and paste (Cntl V) to do this. Can select the text I want to cut but the T'Bird message I'm pasting into will not accept it. I can paste that cut piece into other packages (i.e. Word) so know the Cut was OK. Other than that, love the new look!!!

    try pasting as unformatted Ctrl + Shift + V

  • Cut and paste from Windows to vi via putty

    I'm using putty to access my linux machine from my windows machine, as my wife is using the mythtv on the linux machine...
    I need to cut some text from a windows document and insert it into a document on the linux machine.  I loaded up putty and can open the document in vi (I guess it really is vim), cut it from the windows document, and try to past into vi.  I am sure I used to be able to do this by right clicking where I wanted the text to go, but now vi just goes into Visual mode (the bottom of the screen says  ----(insert)  VISUAL     and I cannot paste.
    Not sure what I did to start causing this behavior, or what to do to undo it, or whether I'm just remembering wrong, but reading internet sources seems to confirm I should be able to do what I am trying to do.

    I have the same problem it started few weeks ago. I have Arch server without X so i have to ssh and maintain the server. To paste in vi i use the scroll button. Its not only in putty from windows but also in Linux terminals too except Linux terminals is way better, if the scroll button don't work you can just  click on Edit and Paste or (shift+ctrl+v) from gnome-terminal.
    When i try to paste using the scroll button i get this error message:
    E353: Ingenting i register" my locale is Swedish so in English it translate something like this E353: nothing in register"

  • How do you cut and paste sections of a slideshow?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it is possible to cut and paste sections of a slideshow. I have a slideshow with about 6 songs. I would like to rearrange the songs and the pictures that are synced up with them. I have only been able to select the whole project. I would assume this is possible I just can not figure it out. Thanks!

    See this [video Tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#backgroundaudio ] for how to rearrange the songs.
    You can cut or copy and paste multiple slides. Hold the command key down as you left click additional slides to cut or copy.

  • I transferred photos to my computer by cutting and pasting.  I have some on my phone that I didn't cut and paste.  Now they are can and I cannot find them anywhere on phone or computer

    I transferred photos to my computer by cutting and pasting.  I have some on my phone that I didn't cut and paste.  Now they are gone and and I cannot find them anywhere on phone or computer. Are they lost forever.  I have done no back-up recently or icloud.  My daughters 8th grade graduation was on it.  I am devastated.

    A lot of I should haves.  I had too many photos and while at work I opened up the 4 folders inside of the DCIM folder on my phone.  I didn't think it would be a big deal to just cut the photos and paste on my computer as I have  done this before.  i moved one folder that had 803 pictures in it and all was fine.  I ran out of time and unplugged phone and went home.  When I got to work this morning I was looking at my phone and realized I only had 34 pictures.  I knew there should have been 400+ there and they are gone.  Don't know what happened and if they were deleted off phone or computer I cannot see them anywhere.  I didn't back up (I know mistake) Lessoned learned I just hope there is something i can do!

  • I can't copy and paste onto my desktop or just cut and paste anything???

    I try to copy or cut a photo and paste it onto my desktop and it just doesn't work

    What apps are you using? Copying from where to where?

  • Cut and paste stopped working

    Why have I lost the ability to cut (or copy) and paste?  Rebooting doesn't help.  Captivate 6.0, Win 7 64 bit.  I have found that I still can copy highlighted text from one caption to another but I can't select the caption as an object and copy and paste it. Neither can I paste pictures, drawing objects, buttons etc.

    Hi There,
    Is this issue occurs with specific project or exists in a new blank project as well?
    You can clean the preferences of Captivate by closing it first then go to C Drive > ProgramFiles > Adobe > AdobeCaptivate 6 64 bit > utils > Run CleanPreferencesWin.bat file.
    Then launch Captivate by right click on it and choose run as administrator and see if that makes any difference.

  • While using marquee tool to cut and past section to new layer, outline stays transparent

    Hello,
    I am testing the trial version of Photoshop CS5.5 and I am experiencing a weird issue while using the marquee tool while selecting a portion of an image, cutting that section and pasting it to a new layer.
    First off I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, 2.8Ghz Dual Core Processor, 4 Gigs Memory, 2 Gig Video card and current on updates with a fresh vanilla install of CS5.5.  Not filters or plugin installed.
    Step by step of issue is as follows,
    I take an image on layer 1 and while using the marquee tool select and area on that image.  I want to cut and Past In Place that selection on a new layer, layer 3. 
    This will allow me to insert another layer, layer 2, in between layer 1 and layer 3 and show what ever I place on layer 2 but still have a complete background if the image does not fill the entire transparent section.
    A good example is a wanted poster.  You have your picture frame with the Wanted letters and reward.  In the center you have a transparent square.  In the back you have a black background.  In between the frame and the background you place a face.  The face will not fill the entire sqaure so you will see some of the black back ground.
    Now the problem appears to be that the dotted line of the marquee selection makes so you can see your selection stays transparent or deletes the ares directly unter it when you cut and past to a new layer.  The transparent outline looks to be the same size of the dotted line when that selection is selected.  I have looked and searched for this promblem and resolution but can not see one. 
    The picture below is the result after I deselect the area.  You can see just above another section that I tried to cover up but did not get it all.  
    This is driving me nuts and I just can not figure out what is causing this behavior.  If I try and stretch the section, it skews the contents out of proportion.
    An suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated!
                                    Marquee Selection, Animated Lines                                                                Cut And Past In Place And Selection Deselected
    Thanks

    Instead of cut, one way is to duplicate the layer and add a layer mask from the selection. Alt click on the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel to add a Layer Mask>Hide Selection.
    Then you can put a layer in the middle.
    The reason your seeing what's in your screenshot is the selection is anti-aliased,

  • Help with cut and paste

    Hello. Need a little help please. I have a 21 page pdf file. I would like to cut the text and paste into MS Word. By doing "select all" I am able to do this but only 1 page at a time. Is theire a way to extend the selection so that I get all 21 pages of text?
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    A PDF that contains a scanned image of a textual document will result in a 0 KB text file when Save as Text is used while viewing the PDF.
    If OCR is applied to the PDF (with Acrobat as Reader does not provide this functionality) then Save as Text exports the OCR output to the text file.
    When using Reader's select tool to select and copy the page content (the image) it is the image that is pasted into the Word file.
    A PDF that has no renderable content has nothing to export to a text file via Save as Text.
    So, it would appear that the copy image - paste image, 1 page at time, is what will have to be used.
    A quick addendum -
    If your working with an image of text and have Office 2007 you may be able to use Microsoft Office Document Imaging tool (not sure if tool is available in all Office versions) once the images are in a Word file.
    Be well...
