Smart-Paste ... not what I want - can it be turned off?
It used to be that when I was in a terminal window, and I think most
other applications, I could highlight, then copy a selection of
text and have just the text data get pasted to a chosen destination.
Now, when I do this, it seems to carry the font, formatting, color
and even the URL status with it when I paste it. This plops a
big ugly blob of text that does not fit into the destination where it
should not be.
If I just want to cut some text and paste it in an email or a text
document this ends up ruining the formatting, putting control
characters and what-not into the destination and in general really
causing a pain in the butt.
My question is can this be turned off, over-ridden, undone or
removed somehow?
Second, where is this controlled ... in the clip-board? And if so,
is there a way to configure the clip-board not to do this or access
just the text data selectively?
The answer to this for the OS ought to be to be able to cut and
paste the formatting data separately - which would be a good
thing to be able to do in many situations, such as photo manipulation,
etc.
Thanks.
The text I was cutting and pasting was from the text of a speech
by FDR from Wikipedia.
But this weirdness happens a little on this page as if I grab my
text from above and paste it here whatever I do it leaves me with
this blue background.
I think that is because there is hidden HTML in this box ... and no way
to turn that off except edit it in HTML and remove everthing. Way
too much effort.
Personally, I really prefer to work just in text, because we really cannot
know what is going on in the background of our typing or whatever
now and the simpler the better, especially when nothing else is wanted
or needed.

I just bought a book and realized it is not what I thought it was. Can I returne it for a cash or credit refund?
All purchases are considered final, but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you (these are user-to-user forums) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
Apple, please fix this bug. Sending scanned images to "Pictures" is not what I want nor what I was able to do in every previous operation system. I want to save all scanned items in a specific folder - NOT "PICTURES" Please fix this bug NOW!
I only use Image Capture, so I can't speak for other software.
Here is how I select a Scan To destination:

blazeds/trunk/qa/apps/qa-regress/testsuites/config/tests/messagingService/jms/NoJNDINameT est/services-config.xmlI have a standard Ant build script for signing a jar file. I import it into my master Ant build files with
<import file="Sign.xml"/>
and then in my master Ant script I setup the name of the jar file e.g.
<property name="jar-file" value="${fun}/FunApplet.jar"/>
and then invoke a target
<target name="sign-jar" depends="jar, sign">
</target>
Since this target (sign-jar) depends on target 'jar' and target 'sign' it executes the 'jar' target and then the 'sign' target that is contained in Sign.xml. -
I ordered a ringtone that came as a song and did not appear in a position status to be added. It did not show up but came purchased as a song and now asking me to add it to a playlist. This is not what I wanted to do and I promptly follow the prompt to "Buy more options" to get what I thought was a ringtone. Please help!
The ONLY place to buy a ready made ringtones is from the iphone itself from the itunes app, then "More">"Ringtones"
If you bought from your computer, then you need to create the ringtone. You can create a ringtones from just about any song/sound file for free.
Google will find several ways to do this. -
when opening a new tab, it opens onto a search engine, which is not what i want it to do. How do i resolve this and change it back to just a black page?
A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

After developing my picture when I go to library to export my picture there is a difference in the picture, it's not what I want it to be like, it's not what I have made it into, why ?
Sometimes it takes a little time for the Library thumbnails to be updated with the changes from the Develop module. If you flip back to the Develop module and the changes are still listed in the history tab, I would just give the Library module a little more time to update.
While waiting, you could export one or two images just to make sure the edits are properly recorded. -
Hi. My ipod touch (3rd gen) will not turn off or resond to anything and will not connect to a computer. the screen will not go into sleep mode and i dont know what to do. help?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Tired of Spam/Idiotic Alerts That Can't Be Turned Off
I subscribe to MyFico and am tired of idiotic alerts that can't be turned off. One of the most basic rules about alerts is that you alert people about "events", not "non-events", otherwise people start ignoring the alerts and when they are important don't read them. As an example, if I have an alarm system I don't want to be alerted that "your alarm system didn't go off today", that would be idiotic, I want to be alerted when it does go off! Likewise, I don't want to receive 3 alerts every week telling me my "credit report was all clear this week", I want to receive alerts if something showed up on my credit report! I am going to guess the user experience genius who was involved in creating this thought sending people endless ridiculous alerts would make it seem like we are getting more for our money, but it's just the opposite. But the worst thing is your alert setttings don't give the user any way to turn these idiotic alerts off. Rant off!
Although I'm not sure what the big deal is here, perhaps your email account can filter those out for you? If I chose to ignore those alerts, I'm sure I could easy filter them in my GMail account.

What do i do, my iphone turns off evry 5 mintues and restarts
what do i do, my iphone turns off every 5 mintues and restars
Hi, as much as I hate doing this, I advise you do a restore of your phone. First, try to restore the your phone as a backup, and if the problem still persists, restore your iPhone as a new phone. Make sure you can then sync all of your apps, contacts, and other content that you have previously synced with your phone that you need or want. If this doesn't work ( which it should, because your taking out all problems from your phone, and basically getting a new phone) you should contact your local apple store and if it's under warranty get a replacement phone.
Hope this helps! -
