Pages- lost text by hitting 'cut' instead of 'copy'

Hi,
Really hope someone can help!
Juggling working from home with a sick child today has meant I've lost a lot of work...!
I wanted to copy a huge chunk of text from one pages document to a new one, but i've lost it...can only think I've hit cut instead of copy and now its gone. Am using our Macbook so full pages version.
I've jumped around from document to document so undo is not helping! can anyone think where i could retrieve the text from please? otherwise I will not make it to bed tonight as I'll be redoing it all! i've looked in the trash and recent documents but to no avail...help!!

YES!! it worked!! thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!

I accidentally cut instead of copied a folder of previously imported raw files. When I pasted the folder back I could see it in Windows Explore but not in the LR library. How can I work with these files again?

HI,
My daughter will often ask me to give her raw files I've taken at family events so that she can process them in her own copy of LR. (I work too slowly, apparently.) Recently I inadvertently cut instead of copied a folder. When I pasted it back I could see it in Windows Explorer but not in my LR library. I thought that re-importing the files might work, LR gave me a message that they were already imported. I expect there is a way to make the files available again in LR and would be grateful for some advice.
thanks
Ken

The solutions is either of the following:
Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
Copy the photos back into the exact same folder and folder location that they were in before
I don't know what you actually did "when I pasted it back" ... but the bigger issue is that you shouldn't be working with these files in your operating system, period. Once you import them into Lightroom, you don't manage these files in your operating system.

A way to cut instead of copy and paste

Is there a way of cutting and pasting files/folders well anything really.
For instance, say if I wanted to drag a folder to another drive in my Mac Pro. It copies ok, although I am left with the original folder in its original position, as well as the folder on the new drive (which I want).
Thanks

The Finder does not allow cutting of files, it only uses copy/paste.
You can drag stuff and force a move instead of a copy by holding "cmd". When you press cmd you'll see the green + that indicates a copy will be made disappear.
(Inversely, you can force a copy by holding alt, if you would otherwise get a move)
You can also use third-party Finder substitutes which do use the cut command - eg Path Finder.

Why selecting text and hitting F1 doesn't go to specific help page anymore?

Hi. Up until a while ago I was able to, while working on some code, select a particular actionscript component such as a Class, function or property and hit the F1 key which would immediately bring up Adobe Help in my internet browser already showing the page relevant to my selection. For example, if I had selected the word "MovieClip" in my code and hit F1, the Adobe Help page describing the MovieClip class would come up, without me having to navigate to it.
Now (for some weeks actually), it no longer does that. When I hit F1, Adobe Help comes up in my browser, but opens at a general menu page regardless of what text I select, which in fact makes selecting text before hitting F1 redundant anyways.
Does anyone know anything about this?
It was so much more convenient before! Now I have to search for what I'm looking for every time. I'm learning on my own, so I find myself going to the Help pages quite often. At the end of the day, it sums up to be a lot of typing and searching and pages to navigate through. Also, it seems that navigating through the Adobe Help pages is kind of slow which just makes it even more of a drag.
I'd appreciate any information on this, or possibly some help in how to get things back to how they were.
Thanks!

On some pages the text from more than one paragraph stack up on top of each other, like writing something then writing something else on top of it.

On some pages the text from more than one paragraph stack up on top of each other, like writing something then writing something else over the top of it. Some pages will run text and pictures together, like a car rear-ending another or a train pile up. Other pages will cut an image or text short, i.e. it will display a portion of the top of the image or text but not the rest. This happens on Amazon for example, the section where it says "Customers who looked at this also looked at" will allow only a certain amount of the upper portion of the description immediately below the picture of the product but below that section everything is fine until I get to another section displaying more products and their descriptions and then it cuts the bottom portions off again. I've noticed this behavior mostly in the sections with product photos, the text sections seem okay. YouTube also displays this behavior. It's even doing it on this page right now. Below this box I can read "The more information you can provide the better chance your question will be answered " , but directly below that in the next sentence I can see the start of it with "Troublshootin" and the "Automatically Add" in a green field covering the "g". The next clear text is "A window will open in the top corner. Click Allow, and then click Install. If the automated way doesn't work, try these manual steps." I tried turning of pre-fetching, clearing history, cookies, and cache, scanning for malware with Avast and Windows Defender all to no avail. It began when I upgraded from dial up to DSL via AT&T Uverse. I have a Motorola NVG510 modem. The modem was replaced an hour ago along with new dedicated lines and DSL/Phone splitter from the box by an AT&T technician to make sure my incoming lines were up to par. He ran a connection test and verified everything is up to standards. IE does not display this behavior. I am running Firefox20.0.1 and all previous versions have acted the same way since I upgraded to DSL about 3 months ago.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.

Need a shortcut to "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above option preference" I know where it is and how to use it but I have to go through 7 mouse clicks to change it, then a few minutes later change it back. I also know the sequnce is alt t, alt o, alt c, alt a, then ok, ok. Got to be a way to make a one key short cut for this. I use a black background to reduce eye strain, but about 10% of the webpage I go to can't be send with black so I have to go into tools and hit 6 or 7 things to chnage it then after through with webpage have to do it all over at Not allow webpages to have own color. Very very cumbersome.

The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

When "allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" is un-checked in the options menu, I am unable to see images on websites. How do I maintain having the box un-checked and still view images?

I recently decided to switch the colors around in Firefox. I work in a pretty dark environment and having dark colored text on white or bright backgrounds is rather difficult on my eyes in the dark.
I switched the background to a dark gray, the text to a light gray and both visited and unvisited links to a light blue. Along with these changes, I unchecked the "allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" box.
After unchecking the box, I am no longer able to view images on many websites. The images all turn gray - as if Firefox has changed their image into part of the background. When I check the box, I am able to see images fine, however, the websites usually revert back to their bright backgrounds with dark text.
Any help and assistance with this is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

How to get the source code of an HTML page in Text file Through J2EE

How to get the source code of an HTML page in Text file Through J2EE?

Huh? If you want something like your browser's "view source" command, simply use a URLConnection and read in the data from the URL in question. If the HTML page is instead locally on your machine, use a FileInputStream. There's no magic invovled either way.

Text editing window expands instead of creating vertical scroll bar

In the last few days, I have noticed that when I try to edit or post to Wordpress.com the vertical scroll bar no longer appears on the text editing box. Instead the box just gets progressively larger which makes it very difficult to get to other items on the WordPress editing screen, such as tags and categories. This problem seems to have arisen during the v31.0 auto-upgrade. Is anybody else having this issue and what steps can I take to solve it? (FYI, I tried modifying the setting described in another response about a similar issue using the about:config screen, with no success.)

I don't know whether your dashboard has the "Visual" and "Text" buttons, but I believe the Visual uses CKEditor or another WYSIWYG editor and the Text editor might be a simpler design. Are both affected?
I searched around to see whether I could find Wordpress.com support threads or other stories about it and I can't. So I'll fall back on some general suggestions:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove WordPress.com cookies without affecting other sites.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
To rule out extensions as a possible culprit, could you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, some advanced features, and some custom settings. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* (menu bar) Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Note: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox closes, a small dialog should appear: click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Why are pop-up windows too small, text is being cut off. Problem is occurring with webkinz

When I go to webkinz, the pop-up windows are too small to display all the information in the box. Text is being cut off. It works fine with Explorer. This has not always been a problem-- but is giving problems in the lat month. It occurs when you sign in, not noticeable on opening home page.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Rotating image, decomposition page, recognizing text... etc.

Hi,
Each time I open new pdf file, there is a small pop-uo with black background on the right bottom of the file indicating some operations: rotating image, decomposition page, recognizing text... as here:
These popups appear automatically, even if the document is in good quality! Meanwhile I can't navigate the document! I have to wait until the end of these processes (this could take longtime depending on the size of file) !
Does anybody know how to deactivate these popups?
Thanks.

I had this problem in Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 and just figured out how to fix it: It is related to a "read out loud" setting.
Apparently Acrobat OCR's the document just to figure out in which order it should be read aloud, and there's no way to disable this. The document I was having trouble with does have equations in it, so whether or not this takes long enough to be annoying may depend on whether the document contains things that are hard for OCR to process.
You can fix it by editing preferences for "Reading" and change Reading Order to "Left-to-right, top-to-bottom..." instead of "Infer reading order from document (recommended)". Then make sure Screen Reader Options is set to "Only read the currently visible pages".
Best, J

When I open a new document in Pages, the text I type is white on a white background even though the default color is black. Can someone help?

When I open a new document in Pages, the text I type appears white instead of the default black color. I can highlight the text, once I find it, but it will not change to anything other than a light purple.

Those are the symptoms many users ran into with an early update to Snow Leopard that never was fixed in the updates available through Software Update & not having the iWork apps updated. The problem was not whether or not your system is the current version but how it got there. You must use the combo updater, not the one from Software Update unless it specifically states it is the combo. Software Update will only offer the combo if your system is two or more versions behind. Now that you're running Lion, this generally isn't a problem.
But making sure the iWork apps are updated is essential. If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

Ctrl+C closes tab instead of copying text and Ctrl+F doesn't work

Hi,
As stated in title, since upgrading Firefox to the latest version, when I press Ctrl+C it closes the tab I'm on instead of copying text. It can be text from a website or text from an email i'm writing. Estremely frustrating, as I've come to the habit of copying the text of an email I'm sending using Yahoo Mail before sending in case it doesn't send properly and gets lost!!!
Also, I usually pressed Ctrl+F to search for a specific piece of text on a website, but this simply doesn't work. Any ideas?
I use the Welsh language version of Firefox, and the same problem occurs on both my home laptop and work PC.

Super annoying, but I've realised '''Ctrl+Shift+T''' opens the last tab to be closed and that is a great help until a fix comes along.

When replying to a discussion, the images and text are being cutted and moved over

Hi, using a community site in SP2013, when you post a discussion (ask and discuss) you have all the text and images displayed correctly. But, when you reply to the post and then, your name is added to the post, the image and text are somehow cutted. I played
with the options like lock ratio and everything, but it doesn't seem to work, I also played with the webpart options, but, it is not working, the idea is to feed the text and images into the whole respond to the post. Have you seen this issue or behavior before?.
See below,
When you reply to the post,
Can you see how the image is moved over.

Hi Javi,
I checked the discussions list in my environment, and the image showed as below when replying to a discussion:
It seems that the page has been customized.
I recommend to check the things below:
Check if the page with issue has been customized.
Add the site to trusted sites and add to compatibility settings in Internet Explorer.
Use another browser to access the page to see if the issue still occurs.
Best regards,
Victoria
