Still cannot cut and paste - all instructions are way too technical for avg user trying to fix the problem. Need step by step instructions.

Firefox is not enabling me to cut and paste when I'm working on my business website. I can tried the key commands and they didn't work either. The instructions that were linked for Changing the preferences in Firefox were very complicated and even when I thought I found the correct place to add the user_pref lines to allow clipboard, the message was DO NOT MODIFY THIS PAGE.
I didn't want to add or change anything for fear of screwing this up.
What I need are step by step instructions. Really baby steps. How to find the profile and the js.file, what is text editor? If you could take instruct from start to finish that would be great.
Thank You!

Use the keyboard shortcuts if the buttons on the web page or other methods aren't working.
* Copy: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert (Mac: Command + C)
* Paste: Ctrl+V or Shift+Insert (Mac: Command + V)
* Cut: Ctrl+X or Shift+Delete (Mac: Command + X)

  • How do I make icons bigger? All icons are way too small for speedy use. no matter what I do they remain too small. Is there a way of getting them the same size as previous versions?

    All icons, such as refresh page, back, forward, stop and home etc; are just too small for comfortable use. For now I am uninstalling Firefox 4 and going back to 3.x. even the zoom page icons are too small.

    "I had read that GarageBand or the Musical Typing there can sometimes not display properly when the resolution is changed."
    Well, did you checked GB after you changed your resolution?
    Which setting did you change to?
    You & I have the same size iMac screen. My resolution setting is 1280x800. Everything fits perfectly in the windows & on desktop including the menu bar.
    All info in my windows are showing. I did not need to adjust my browser font size settings. I am sure you are aware of the browser font size settings. I use FF & the settings are in Preferences>Content.
    In the Finder window you can enlarge the icons & fonts also.

  • I can't paste nor copy using IDLE with Python 2.7. Can somebody fix the problem

    I can't paste nor copy using IDLE with Python 2.7.
    Can somebody fix the problem

    I just launched IDLE for Python 2.7.2 on Mac OS X 10.8.4.
    The defaults for IDLE assume a PC environment and not Mac, thus it was expecting control+c, control+v for copy and paste. Under the IDLE Options menu, Configure IDLE...
    Under the Keys tab, Use a built-in key set, select IDLE Classic Mac. Now command+c, command+v work.
    Since I didn't want to squint, I set my Font to Ubuntu Mono 14 pt.
    I applied these settings and clicked ok.
    I successfully copied from a terminal window and pasted into IDLE with no issue.

  • I cannot cut and paste .rtf from a MS Word document to a web page.

    I am running a MAC desktop with version 10.5. I use MS Office for MAC. When I try and cut and paste from a .rtf file to an amateur writing site, I always get a timeout. Help please!

    Hi Sara.  Tanks for responding.  If I cannot figure this out (I  was up

    Here are two files you can check on/help me with.  When I try again,  it

    Please advise.

  • Cannot cut and paste text messages (SMS)

    Hi,
    need help from you guys.
    i usually cut and paste my messages from nokia pc suite->inbox
    into another folder that i created. usually, every single SMS will create a file with the extension .vmg
    From here i will import into nokia life blog to make it easier for me to read.
    Unfortunately, i can no longer cut and paste. When i clicked paste inside a folder, nothing happened. I have also tried using copy-paste but still no luck. Im not sure its because of my OS or the nokia pc suite itself.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thank you in advance
    btw, this is my spec
    MS Vista Ultimate (build 6000)
    Nokia Pc Suite 6.84.10.3
    Connect using CA-43
    My phone is 6230i

    A walk around is to backup all sms to a .nbu then use Noki to convert/extract all sms entries to .vmg(vMessage) files.
    What's the law of the jungle?

  • Cannot cut and paste text completely in Pages

    I tried cutting and pasting some text from Safari--about 9 pages worth of text--to Pages, but it only pasted 2 pages. Is this a Snow Leopard problem? Or should I consider installing Word now?

    Have you tried any alternatives at all to really determine the problem, whatever it may be?
    Like pasting it into another program such as *TextEdit, Bean or iTextExpress* ?
    iTextExpress for a start gives you a pageless mode where there are no page margins to cut off extra wide content.
    Have you checked if the text has not popped somewhere, but actually is in Pages?
    Have you noticed at what point the text has broken off and if there is any special about that?
    Have you tried pasting it into a demo of Word to see if it actually is a solution?
    The Mac universe does extend beyond Pages and Word:

  • Cannot Cut and Paste From Excel

    I am trying to simply cut and paste from Excel into the Xcelsius spreadsheet. Even though the user manual indicates to copy from Excel and right click where you want to paste, the Paste and Paste Special functions are greyed out. It is almost like the cells are locked or protected somehow. I selected Formal Cells -> Protection and unlocked the cells but still nothing. Any ideas? Excel 2007

    Hi,
    It seems your workbook was locked. Try the following... it might help you.
    I know some of you out there have hit this problem in the past and now we have a workaround...
    If you try to add/remove/modify a worksheet in the Xcelsius embedded Excel and you can't do it.
    1. Start to unprotect the workbook:
    Office 2007 (Ribbon menu in Xcelsius or Excel). Select Review > Protect Workbook > Protect Structure and Windows.
    Office 2003 (menu only in Excel). Select Tools > Protection > Unprotect Workbook.
    2. You will be prompted for a password.
    3. This is the password (the O is an uppercase o):
    fazOh1+u
    4. Click OK and the spreadsheet should no longer be locked.
    Let me know if still your problem exists.
    Regards,
    Anjani Kumar C.A.

  • Trouble cutting and pasting all of a sudden.

    Just in the last hour my computer has stopped being able to cut and paste. I have changed no settings. I can cut, and the text will disappear, but cannot paste. Also, it shows no 'reaction' when I do a command-c (copy), as it normally would.
    Another interesting development, at the same time this started, various applications began quiting by themselves. Anytime I close a window on AOL IM for example, the application quits.
    Is this a virus, or did I mess something up?
    EDIT:
    Noticed some more:
    I cannot drag files in the finder, or in between apps.
    Files on the desktop appear fuzzy, or 'old'. A Word file has big blocky lettering on it that looks out of focus.

    Hello Jon:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    Try running repair disk from your software install DVD.
    Run permission repair from your HD.
    Trash the finder preference file (com.apple.finder.plist)/
    FYI, there are NO viruses that affect a Mac running OS X.

  • Very curious-cannot cut and paste

    Well that about says it all. After using Captivate 2 for
    about a week, cutting/copying and pasting to my hearts content,
    suddenly that option is not available anymore. After rebooting and
    bringing up Captivate 2 again I saw that I could paste. (I don't
    know what I could paste, I just rebooted and didn't copy anything.)
    Choosing paste didn't paste anyting into my slide. After rebooting
    a second time I continued to not have copy/cut available and now
    lost paste. I simply want to cut and paste again. Any
    ideas/suggestions?

    Reboot and try again.

  • Using Firefox I cannot cut and paste from an email to Microsoft Works 9. I can if using Explorer.

    I use Mozilla Firefox as my internet browser, and yahoo for email. I have a dell Inspiron with Microsoft Works 9 preinstalled. About 90% of the time, if I copy text from an email and then try to paste it into a word processor document using Microsoft Works 9, Works shuts down. The notice says "a problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available." The program however never closes and I never receive any notifications from windows. I have to manually close the program. This problem dose not exist if I use Explorer for my browser and yahoo for email.

    Hi there,
    Wow, that sounds very odd indeed! What happens if you press Ctrl+N on your keyboard? Normally you should see a new Firefox window. If nothing happens when you do that, something is definitely wrong with your Firefox.
    My advice would be to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem exists there as well. This article has all the details: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If all else fails, here's a method that will almost surely fix the issue: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
    Let me know if any of this helps or if you need more assistance.
    Thanks!

  • I cannot "cut and paste" a link in Firefox RC-1, I can in the body of the page but not the actual link location at the top of the browser

    I just found I can't repeat the problem, when I opened a new tab and submitted this question to you, the cut and paste of the links now work when I returned to the original page. I had tried it on at least 4 different links earlier.

    You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

  • Cannot cut and paste in word 2004

    I can no longer cut and paste from one Word document to another. Does anyone have a suggest?

    Quit Word, move the Word associated preference lists out of your Preferences folder to the Desktop, relaunch Word, and see if the issue persists. If not, one or more of those moved files is corrupt. If so, then the app's corrupt and your should reinstall.
