What is the work around for not being able to see icons for folders.  I want to be able to copy and paste image icons in the GET INFO windows.

I have always used images for my folder icons, and now I am told that Mt. Lion does not allow me to go to the GET INFO window and do a click on the image icon and then be able to paste that image on to other folders.    I just talked with a Apple support guy and he said that Mt. Lion does not support this function.  He did say that there are third party programs that allow using images to make icons for folders or other items.  I can see some image icon in some of my hard drive folders.......  some folders show image icons while others do not. I am a photographer and have scads of photo folders spread all over different hard drives, and I find it easier to find what I am looking for by just looking at the IMAGE PICTURE in the different folders on my hard drives, than by having to read the one or two words associated with each folder.
THe support guy said to request that APPLE put back the ability to use the coy paste function in the GET INFO window.  If i can't get this working like it was I wouyld like to know how to get a refund and throw out Mt Lion.

Restore your Lion bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup and file your ML bug report. Just keep the installer ($20 USD isn't worth the hassle trying to get it refunded). Then, when the function's restored, reinstall and run Software Update.

  • To whom it may concern, Since I have downloaded the Firefox update for my phone. I have not been able to copy and paste. I would like some info on this. Thanks

    With the previous version of Firefox for my mobile phone it had the gingerbread copy and paste system and now I am not able to do so at this point. I just want to know how to copy and paste with the new update version of Firefox for my mobile phone. I have a Samsung Infuse. I would like some input on this. Thank you and much appreciated.

    Sorry, the new user interface in the latest update did not have selection/copying of text ready in time for its release. We're working on adding it back for an upcoming version very soon. If you'd like, you can already start testing it in our [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#Download_Nightly nightly development builds].

    When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.
    This does not happen in Safari.
    (Mac OSX 10.6.4 with Firefox 3.6.6).

    Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.

  • I am unable to copy and paste my password onto the Hotmail page

    I live in China and their censors watch everything I do on the net. Before I had no problem when I typed in my password, which would give them access to my Hotmail. But I opened a document on my laptop and put in all new passwords for everything. It worked for a while, but Hotmail seems to have changed their page. Now when I try to copy and paste my password on the Hotmail page, nothing happens. The dropdown box has the paste on it, but it is not highlighted, so I can't just paste it in the password box. I've had to use IE which works, but every time I perform an action on a page, the page jumps as if they are taking a snapshot of what I'm doing and I really don't like it. Any suggestions?

    Did you try to use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+V or Ctrl + Insert) ?

  • How do you copy and paste a photo from the internet without a mouse?

    Does anyone know how to copy and paste a photo from the internet without a mouse?  I would appreciate a response asap.  Thanks.

    Pointing, clicking, and getting around
    When you move your mouse or finger on a trackpad, you control a pointer (also known as a cursor) that moves across your screen. The pointer allows you to select and interact with the various items on your screen, including selecting files, clicking buttons, dragging sliders, and so on. Sometimes the pointer may look like a hand, a crosshair, an I-beam, or another icon, depending on what you're doing and the application you're using.
    For example, if you're using Safari to view this webpage and move the pointer across it, notice that it turns into an I-beam when you move it over text or a text field. When you see this, you can usually interact with the text or field below it. When you move the pointer over a button or link, the pointer turns into a hand, letting you know that you can click on the item.
    Depending on what you're doing and what application you're using, your pointer (far left) may change appearances
    Clicking your mouse button or trackpad button once allows you to select the item that your pointer is on. In other words, if your pointer is on a file's icon, clicking once will select it. If the pointer is on a button or link, clicking once will activate it. If your pointer is on a text field, clicking once highlights the field and allows you to start typing text in it.
    If you want to open a file, folder, or application, click your mouse button or trackpad twice. This is known as double-clicking. In general, you'll need to double-click items if you want to open them from a Finder window or the desktop. The exception to this is opening stuff from the Dock—just click once on an icon in the Dock to open it.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    volume controls issues are windows, not firefox.

  • Is it possible to keep the outline auto formatting from Pages when copying and pasting that outline to the Presenter Notes on Keynote?

    I have been using my iPad for my notes, but I want to start using it as a remote for my macbook. When I copy and paste the notes into the Presenter Notes section of Keynote on the macbook, it unformatted. Any bullet point formatting that I do on my macbook is not showing on my iPad's Remote view Presenter Notes. Is there a way to create consistency here that does not involved formatting each one separately?

    Use Drag and Drop
    Have both applications open side by side
    select the text in Pages
    with the mouse drag the text from pages into presenter Notes pane in Keynote

  • I can't copy and paste from Word to the Internet (Firefox or Chrome), but I can copy and paste from Internet to Word

    I suddenly can't copy and paste text from Word to the internet (Firefox or Chrome, email or other websites), but I can do the reverse. Any ideas? Copy and paste works between Word docs, and it works between internet sites (e.g., web page to email), just not from Word to the internet. Please help. I need to copy and paste my resume for an online job application.

    There are a range of different kinds of forms. For example, this site uses very simple controls that don't automatically convert Word's formatting to an online format. The site where you are trying to paste your resume probably works differently.
    What methods have you tried using to paste? Typically one of these will work:
    * Ctrl+v
    * right-click > Paste
    * Edit > Paste (from the menu)
    Some sites offer their own buttons to paste, but for security/privacy reasons, Firefox usually disables those.

  • Cannot copy and paste images from the web into Corel Draw

    Attempting to copy and paste a jpg image from a client's website, for use in Corel Draw... Copy appears to work fine, and pasting into other programs like Windows Paint works, but paste to CorelDraw has no result.
    I've seen where others would get the text URL but nothing happens when I hit paste.
    Drag and drop imports the text name of the image.

    Since Firefox 13, when you copy an image, Firefox places both the image data (bitmap data) and the URL of the image on the clipboard. I can see why you would get one or the other, but I can't think of why you would get nothing.
    Did this just start in Firefox 22?
    Some odd interactions have been noted between Firefox 22 and ZoneAlarm: when ''copying'' selected text in Firefox, the clipboard may end up blank a significant percentage of the time . But it sounds as though you have a different issue.
    Do you have the same issue in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • Has copy and paste been broken in the latest iOS in Numbers

    Just tried copying and pasting in the latest version of Numbers on a V3 iPad. The only time I could get it to work, was by copying into the same table. And then only once. I've been using this for months, but not since the latest update. Anyone else have this problem?

    Have you seen this thread over in the iWork for iOS discussions:

  • Why can I no longer copy and paste a page in the thumbnails view?

    We used to be able to copy and paste, even edit the order of the pages in thumbnail view. Why has ALL of this functionality been removed?! Or is there some special way to do it now that isn't as intuitive?

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 has had 90+ features removed and a load of bugs added.
    Any sensible user will just say "Pass!"

  • Why, when I copy and paste a shape are the rest of the pages in the doc being deleted?

    I am trying to add an identical formatted shape below the first formatted shape, but when I select, copy, paste, it is deleting the following pages of the doc.  If I'm not careful, I will lose the rest of the doc.  What is going on? 
    If I select the shape I want to copy, it is outlined in blue and under Arrange the Group/Ungroup options are greyed out. 
    There is plenty of space for the new pasted image on the page and I just click below the original image being copied to paste it. 
    And sometimes there is this thick blue line at the top of the page when copy/paste -> dissapear.  What is that?
    Also, a pasted object always defaults to Inline instead of Floating, so a new image snaps to a grid.  Anyway to change that? 

    Sorry I didn't notice that you are on iOS.
    There are two kinds of Pages documents, Word Processing and Layout.
    Word Processing documents have text on every page that automatically flows on to the next page if it does not fit on the current page. A page only is shown on screen if it has text on it. Floating objects don't count.
    If you have a complicated set of objects with wrap pushing text out of the way and text being consequently pushed over to the enxt page, odd things can happen as that text, which includes invisibles like returns, spaces, tabs, page breaks etc push over to the next page or flow back to previous pages as you move objects and make room for the etxt or not.
    Layout documents, do not auto flow from page to page. Each page is an individual section and things stay where you put them.
    It sounds like you may be better off using a Layout template for your work. Choose one from the Template/Document Chooser.
