Updated to 5.0 now copy to plain text not there; is there workaround?

I updated today to Firefox 5.0 at the urging of Mozilla and---as warned before updating---copy to plain text is not available for this Firefox release. I assume that the developer of this addon will eventually update it but in the meantime because of the kind of work I do I really need either an alternative that will work with Firefox 5.0 or a work around that will allow the addon to work with 5.0. Hopefully nothing too complicated as I am not a power user or tech expert. The availability of Copy to plain text is one of the main reasons I use Firefox 90% of the time on my MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.

I assume 'copy to plain text' is an extension that stopped working due to compatibility issues.
You can try this extension, it overrides compatibility issues:

Copy & Paste plain text?

It's really annoying sometimes when I can't copy just plain text from firefox to Pages. It always comes with its own font and size. How could I just copy plain text?

I've added via
+System Preferences -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts for other Applications+
a new Application, Pages. Via "Menu" I've set up a new Shortcut. In this case I used "⌘V" and have overwritten the default one. Now ⌥⌂⌘V is ⌘V for me. - And that is what Strato222 want to do: He/She want to use ⌘V and paste the text as plain text.
This works wonderful on Snow Leopard.

You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours. If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for). You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

HT1848 I purchased alert tones in itunes and updated my itunes. Now my alert tones do not show up, although if I were to go re-purchased those items, it says I already purchased them. Where do I find those tones and how do I get them back into my phone?

I purchased many alert tones in itunes and then updated my itunes. Now my alert tones do not show up, although if I were to go re-purchase those items, itunes says I already purchased them. Where do I find those tones and how do I get them back into my phone without having to repurchase???? This is so frustrating! Please Help!

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

Help! Installing updates an error occurred now my MacBook Pro will not restart. "Unable to find driver for this platform"

Help! Installing updates an error occurred now my MacBook Pro will not restart. "Unable to find driver for this platform"

Did you try more than once? If so:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I updated my iPad and now copy/paste won't work anymore and I need it for an important email,Help!

Hello,since I updated my iPad air with the IOS 8.3 update, it is impossible to copy and paste anything anymore,I'd like to know if this is normal and will pass or if this has a solution,if it does I would like to know what I should do to make it work again.
thank you.

Greetings gracielikesbands,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that after updating to the most resent version of iOS, you are unable to copy and paste on your iPad as described in the attached iPad User Guide (page 30).
https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest resetting your using the instructions located in the attached article.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If the issue continues after resetting, please let me know what happens when you try to select text as described in the User Guide.
Cheers,

I updated to Lion. Now when I preview a document, there is no Save As button, it is either Save a version or duplicate. How do I get back my Save As button?

I updated to Lion. Now when I preview a document that I have in Downloads or Documents and I want to Save As, when I go to File, instead of Save As, I now have Save Version, then when I click on that it says the document is locked, do I want to unlock or duplicate? How do I get back to just plain ole Save As?
I have no idea why the document would be locked. Help, please.

Here is a normal Save menu in TextEdit, for example:
Now with that menu visible in TextEdit simply press down the OPTION key and a Save As option should appear just below the Save option in the menu.
Now, I may have forgotten since it's been a while, but that may not work in Lion. So either you upgrade, if possible, to Mountain Lion or Yosemite or:
Select the Duplicate option which will open a new copy of your document. You may then Save that copy. When you do you will be asked to provided a new document name. This would replace Save As.

raadga Emails are important! Let's get your Comcast account working again. Go to the email account then select the menu for settings. If "sync only over wifi" is on then uncheck the box. If this is not an option, then you would want to delete and readd the email account to the phone. Please keep us posted.

Iphone 5 update to IOS 7, now visual voice mail does not work

I updated my Iphone 5 today to ios 7 and when it was done I noticed that when I went into the phone app and tapped on the voice mail icon it immediately dialed into voice mail. Visual voice mail was not there. I looked into some forums and turned on/off airplane mode, turned the phone off and on and reset network settings but it did not work. How can I get Visual Voice Mail working for ios 7

Hey there Bobehm,
I absolutely love the new iOS 7 update. It brings a whole new dimension to Apple devices. Let's make sure your visual voicemail continues to run on the new software.
Are you able to access other data applications successfully such as Safari? Are you having a similar issue where if you hit the visual voicemail icon it just auto dials your voicemail? Have you tried leaving yourself a voicemail as suggested by zona?
Please provide additional details so that I can better assist.

Asx displays plain text not mms stream

I have used the Mac's Web Sharing Apache server to make a little page that you can click on and loads a asx playlist with a mms entry. This can be played with Flip4Mac on my computer locally through safari or it can be played on a PC with WMP10 or it can be played on FireFox on my mini with Flip4Mac.
However, if I try to access the site http://10.0.5.51/~benjibrown/asxhtml.html
and then click, the next page will load a text/plain version of the asx list instead of grabing the F4M plugin and running it through QT embedded.
Now I though this was perhaps my MIME types being served from the Apache so I made sure to add them in mime.type and restart the server. Firefox can access and play that url fine, it seems only Safari can't get the served MIME type asx and access F4M thus playing the mms. I have reset Safari too, thinking that maybe the cache messed it up.
Thanks

Or you could try this:
To make Plain Text the preferred alternative for viewing messages (which may or may not accomplish what you want), quit Mail, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>:
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE
You can revert to the default setting with the following command:
defaults delete com.apple.mail PreferPlainText
And you can reverse the setting regardless of what the default setting is with the following command:
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool FALSE

Websites are plain text not HTML

I've been having a lot of issues lately with Firefox. I get nothing but plain text websites, it's always asking for the certificates even though it's added them. I've been an avid firefox user for years since my son said it's the best browser out there. Now I'm beginning to wonder.. I've cleared the cache, uninstalled, reinstalled a clean version and still same problems over and over.
Please help.

Plain Text Not available in Control Properties

Hi,
I am not sure if this is a strange behavior or its an expected one. We have a BI query and pulled in an Input Form and then the output to a table. On clicking on this recoed it should display all the output fields in a form with its name and value. For the parameters I do not see an option for selecting Plain Text. It gives me only input field, dropdown, text editor.
Why is this happening? Is there any way that I can map these fields to a plain text?
Thanks,
Nagarajan.

Hi,
Sorry for not being clear. From the BI Query Out port I have a Table which will display the result values. Now when I select any of the row item in the table there is a form connected from the table out port. This form should display all the details of the row item. When I try to look into the control properties for these parameters in the form I don't have an option to select plain text.
I can only display the values in the input field. I want these values to be displayed in plain text instead of input field. Logically it makes sense because there should be two plain text fields for a value because one text field will display the Parameter name and one will display its corresponding value. That's the reason it is not available.
But just chekcing if there are any easier way to do this other than creating 2 plain text fields for one parameter and mapping these items. Because I have around 40 fields to be displayed which will be make my life worse by manual creation
Thanks,
Nagarajan.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Hello Hilda Louise
Start with the article below to get your iPhone to be recognized in iTunes again. Then you will probably need to restore it to get it back up and running.
