QT 7 pro wont copy/paste

Hello
After I purchased QT pro 7, I tried to make a mpeg bigger by taking segments of my other movies, moving the playheads and cutting and pasting, but the frick'n things are still dimmed in the edit section; nothing happens! I checked for rights in the get info and all but niet! Honestly, I give up on this one since I've had a mac for 9 years now and this is about the simplest thing that anyone can ever do on this mighty machine!
Anyone could fill me in on certains details for which my brains is failing me?
Thanks

QuickTime has never supported editing of MPEG (1 or 2) files. They are playback files and not intended to be edited.
QuickTime can only "export" the video track (the audio stays behind).
Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your MPEG files into format QuickTime can edit.

My macbook pro wont get past the grey screen at startup. Help!!

After doing a run of the mill software update on my macbook pro (running snow leopard) it froze during the "moving items into place" stage. I forced a shut down and now it wont get past the grey screen with apple logo and spinning wheel. I have tried booting from the original DVD but it still freezes. When I boot it in verbose mode it seems to stop at "jnl: unknown-dev: update_fs_block: error reading fs block # 3597880! (ret 5)", the Apple AHCD Disk Queue manager :: set power state is timing out and there is a disk I/O error. I have tried to reset the power manager (not sure if it worked or not) and I have also tried clearing the PRAM (again, not sure of that worked). When I try to look at the hard drive using target mode on my imac the hard drive doesn't come up but the DVD does. I'm concerned that my hard drive is fried. Any suggestions?

It would help to state in your post which remedies you tried that didn't work.
Start here > OS X Lion: If you see a gray screen at startup
If nothing there helped, try Starting up in Safe Mode
Safe Mode deletes some system caches that may help.
A Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient. Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple menu.
If a Safe Mode boot didn't work, since your Mac has OS X v10.7 installed, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access OS X Recovery built in utilities. The startup disk may need repairing.

Acrobat 9.0 pro extended: copying / pasting highlights to word

Hi there
I've highlighted a number of paragraphs in a document, thinking that I would then just be able to quickly select the highlights and copy and paste them into a word doc. But although I can select a highlight, I can't copy / paste it :-/ Any help would be much appreciated! :-) Thank you in advance :-)

Are you using the Touch up text tool?
Check document properties and see if there is any security options enabled.

Illustrator wont copy & paste at 300 ppi regardless of settings

I just recently reformated my computer and I've been having an issue with copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop. Before I could copy a 2"x2" vector box from Illustrator into photoshop making a new document and the size and resolution would match. That is the new document would say 2"x2" at 300 ppi in photoshop and the preset would read "clipboard". I would then hit ok and paste and it would match perfectly. Now since I've reformated, photoshop always creates a new document with the wrong size regardless of the settings I enter in Illustrator or photoshop. I have document raster and effects set at 300 ppi in Illustrator and I have the new document set at 300 in photoshop, but it always transfers the 2"x2" box at 72 dpi regardless of settings. Again this used to work before so I'm assuming there is some setting I forgot about. Does anyone know? The main issue is the clipboard preset is not matching the document size, its almost as if Illustartor is telling photoshop it's a different resolution when it's not. Copying to 72 ppi seems to have no issue, which makes me think Illustrator just isn't sending it out at 300 ppi, but I don't know why as I have the document set at 300 ppi. I confirmed this as I can make a 2"x2" box in photoshop and paste into Illustrator and it reads as 2"x2" at 300 ppi in Illustrator, but if I copy from Illustrator back to photoshop it pastes it at 72 ppi. Changing the settings to 300 ppi in Illustrator seems to have no effect. Might be a bug. Should I try reinstalling?

Unfortunately, it's a known bug.

You can try putting in a bug report - perhaps they will be more motivated to fix it when more people complain.

Final Cut Pro 7: Copying/pasting clips in timeline w/o overwriting

How do I copy and paste clips in my timeline without overwriting the other clips? We know how to drag clips in the timeline (and do an insert edit), but this takes too long since we have dozens and dozens of clips already in our timeline. It's easier to be able to just copy and paste (or cut) but whenever we do this, when we paste the clip it automatically overwrites instead of inserting the clip at the playhead (and simply moving everything else down).
We think we must be doing something very simple wrong or having some unknown box checked because it seems obvious that this should be something very easy to do in any editing program. It doesn't make sense that the default setting of Final Cut is to overwrite clips, right?

This is the FCP-X forum, not the FCP-7 forum, but to answer your question -
to paste copied clips into the timeline without overwriting, place the playhead where you want to place your copied clip(s) and type Shift-V instead of Command-V.

QT Pro 7 Copy Paste .mov audio issue

I am copying a .mov movie file and pasting it to the end of another .mov file. The video pastes into one continuous video track. The audio is pasting into a second stereo track starting at the end of the first stereo track. So, one video track and two stereo audio tracks.
The entire .mov file plays fine in iTunes. When I stream it or sync it to my Apple TV (1st gen), or stream it to my Apple TV 2, the audio quits at the 2nd stereo track.
Amy ideas on how to merge (so to speak) 2 .mov files of exactly the same type into a single video track and a single stereo audio track?
Thanks...

Interesting that the two QT versions report different video coding and different total data rates. Also QT Pro7 reports Stereo (L R) and QTPlayer10 reports 2 "Channels". They are different things.
With regard to the video coding, AVC Coding is the same as H.264. Either may also be referred to as MPEG-4/AVC or MPEG-4, Chapter 10 content.
Data rate information appears to be calculated differently by each application probably due to the way the data is quantified. (I.e., same difference as noted between the way the QT 7 Inspector reports the file size differently than the Finder Info window.)
While I tend to agree that "stereo" implies two independent channels of "different" data, it would seem that QT X does not choose to emphasize such a distinction.

How do I move a file from a memory stick to a an external drive using a mac (copy paste doesnt work)

How do I move a file from one memory stick to another using mac pro? copy paste doesnt work

Have you tried simply dragging the file from one stick to the other? Do you know the format of the memory sticks (Macs can't write to those formatted as NTFS without the use of third-party software)?

OS X can natively read NTFS of Windows, but not write to it.
Windows can't read or write to HFS+ of OSX, and that's a good thing from a security standpoint.
Ideally if you share files between operating systems you should have a FAT/MSDOS formated USB key or hard drive. (exFAT external drive if any of your files are over 4GB in size) both these formats are universal for OS X or Windows.
If you install software into Windows and OS X to read each others formats, then you have to pay to update/upgrade it deal with headaches.
If you swtich between Windows and OS X a lot, don't need full hardware performance for Windows, you may consider installing virtual machine software like VMFusion or Parallels which can take a copy of your Windows in Bootcamp and place it into OS X as a file then run that copy of Windows in a window in OS X like so.
Advantage here is you run most of your light weight Windows programs like this at the same time as OS X.
Benefit is you can run just about any Windows or Linux version and OSX server editions (not client versions)
Bootcamp only allows Windows 7, that's it now.
You'll also be interested in two fre pieces of software, Carbon Copy Cloner and Winclone on macupdate.com.
CCC clones OS X partition and Winclone clones the Bootcamp partition. Valuable for you.
Good Luck

Acrobat 9 PRO windows help.. copy paste for dummy

Help...please
I open pdf documents, highlight the text, copy and paste into MS Word or other programs and the text spacing is all messed up. There are spaces between letters in words. How do I paste, copy or whatever? I want the copied pdf to look exactly the same in the created file that it is pasted into. If you can help, I'll need detailed instructions, my expertise is not computer stuff.
Very specifically, I'm a student and am allowed to convert lessons and lectures from text to voice to listen instead of reading all day. The NaturalSpeaker program works great on Word documents, email, and everything except pdf files. It will work on them too ifI remove the thousands of spaces that appear after pasting in the program or a word document.
Thanks.

Hi,
You are in something of pickle.
Not due to you or Acrobat.
Unfortunately, whomever provides the PDFs you are using appears to have failed to deliver a well-formed Tagged PDF from an appropriate authoring application having adequate tag management.
Tagged PDF is, by design (see ISO 32000-1), capable of supporting use of assistive technology applications, export of content (copy-paste is a sub-set of this) to Word (with layout - format- font info retained/provide), and reflow on mobile devices (tablets, smart phones, eBook readers).
Of course, the AT application authors have to hold up their end by releasing applications that behave properly with regards to the ISO Standard.
As PDF is very much a different format than that of a word processor the "copy-paste" of content does not behave in the manner we are all familiar with when doing this with a word processor file format.
Acrobat X provides a much more robust export to MS Word of untagged PDF content than that provided by previous versions.
Regardless, a well-formed Tagged PDF is usable by AT and Adobe Reader.
Lacking a "proper" PDF you could use Acrobat Pro 9 to add tags to the PDFs.
Then, export to Word or RTF.
Or, save as to accessible text.
Work this over with Word.
Be well...

How to copy/paste as unformatted text in Acrobat 9 Pro text field?

Hi all,
I'm having difficulty copying/pasting text from another source as unformatted text in an interactive PDF text field in Acrobat 9 Pro. I have specified the font size, colour and typeface for the text field. However, when I copy and paste text, the text retains its formatting. Strangely enough, this isn't an issue when I type out the text.
I'm really not keen on typing out all the text for all the text fields because:
there's alot of it
waste of my time
potentially introducing typos
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Trish

Thanks for your suggestion! That actually did work pretty well.
I had set up all the fields as non-rich text, cut and pasted the text into the fields, and then change the fields back to rich text to format them (ie superscript, subscript etc).
Unfortunately, now I'm faced with another problem.
I won't be able to add more "unformatted" text later on easily. It appears that to do so, I would have to change the fields to non-rich text which wipes out all the formatting I've already applied.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Trish

Mac Mini wont let me copy/paste/drag anything!!!

Hey guys i have slight problem. My brother gave me a mac mini that he got from his friend and it was working perfectly until a couple of weeks ago... when i try to drag files, it wont let me. no error messages apper or anything, i just cant move the file. also, when i want to copy/paste words or files or anything, it doesnt let me... i wanted to restore the computer but then found out i needed the cds, which i dont have. so my real question is, what cd/dvd would i need to restore an old mac mini 1.25Ghz PPC G4 512Mb running OS X 10.5.7?
THNX

Carlos,
That old PPC Mini likely shipped with OSX 10.4 (Tiger), though possibly it shipped with 10.3 (Panther).
If you want to restore to 10.5 (Leopard) you'd need a full retail copy of Leopard.
I would first run Utilities > DiskUtility and verify your hard drive and repair permissions.
I'd also make sure that you have adequate free (available) space on the hard drive. At least 10% of the hard drive should be free space for OSX to be happy. If you have gotten warning messages that the hard drive is almost full, that might explain your problems.
If you have enough room on your hard drive, you might be able to improve your Leopard installation by downloading and re-installing the full "combo" update of Leopard, which is over 700 Megabytes. Obviously this won't be an option if your hard drive is almost full.

Macbook pro a1150 wont boot past kernel, stuck on gray screen.

got a macbook pro a1150 ati 1600 gpu. last for characters in sn are vww. will not boot past gray screen after the gray screen with the apple logo. it has a fresh install of 10.6 on a new hard drive from a laptop of the same exact kind. when in target mode and its Hard Drive used as a boot divice, it will boot. no broken graphic on startup with the apple icon and the pin wheel spinning. boots to safe mode just fine, will even do updates. but will not boot from the NEW hard drive or the dvd rom. when i put the old hard drive in with 10.5 it wont boot past the blue screen and the same with the 10.5 install disc i baught. reset pram, changed ram, removed wifi card and even tried disconnecting the dvd rom but still will not go to the login screen. even disabled auto login (when it was in target mode). do i reflow the gpu? is it a gpu problem? one thing strange.... in safe mode, lines show up on the mouse icon and just that. the rest of the screen shows everything fine, i've seen this before with the nvidia chipset but not with ati. how do i fix it?

to better explain... the macbook pro in question never get to the blue startup screen which happenes before the login menu. not though dvd rom, hard drive, external dvd rom or external hard drive. just stop there. i hear the hard drive working / dvd spinning and the computer reading the disc but after a few min of just seeing the grey screen both would spin down.
