When I copy text where on the desk top can I put it?

I'm new to Mac and I copied a newspaper article out, for my genealogy, and didn't want to paste it to Word because it saves it as a pdf., I want to save it as a jpg. for my family tree.  Where or how can I paste the article and then save it to my desktop?

Ok, I found Preview. It doesn't say "new" just open then that takes me to a screen with files on my desktop.
Is there a clipboard somewhere that I can paste on to?  I don't see one in preview. New from clipboard is light so I can't click on it.  help........

  • When I copy text, where does it go and how can I retrieve it?

    New to apple. When I copy text, where does it go and how can I retrieve it?

    You retrieve it by pasting it somewhere.  It works just like copy/paste on a computer.

  • When you take a snapshot of the desk top where is it saved?

    When you press Control-Command-3 for a snapshot where can I find it?

    There is also:
    Command-Control-Shift-3 - Capture entire screen
    Command-Control-Shift-4 - Drag to select copy region
    Command-Control-Shift-4-Space - Capture Window under cursor
    If you want a menu or pop-up, then do the
    Command-Control-Shift-4-Space
    after the menu or pop-up is setup as you like it.
    Now paste the clipboard into whatever document accepts graphics.
    I also like the utility Skitch, as it lets you add circles, arrows and a description to what you have captured <http://skitch.com/>.

  • Copy an image to the desk top

    Hello ! I would like to copy an image from Photo Elements to my desktop. Please advise step by step, I don't have a lot of computer experience. Thank you - Al

    Al,
    As Colin mentioned, size is an important consideration for sending image files electronically via email. Smaller files (in terms of Kb) will load much quicker for the recepient.
    If the image is meant for screen viewing only (not intended for the recepient to print out) then you might want to limit the size of the image to around 500 pixels in height. This will ensure that the entire image is viewable in its entirety on screen.
    You can do this by; 1) make a copy of your image 2)go to image>resize image size 3) with Resample checked, change only one variable in the fields offered, type 500 for the pixels in height and let the other fields fill themselves in 4)save with a name such as "filenameWebSize". Make sure it is in the jpg format. 5)Save to a folder 6)attach to email by referencing it with the Browse feature in your email attachment options.
    If your intention is to send a file which will print out nicely for the recipient, then the file size must possess enough pixels for print (perhaps the original scan file, if it does not exceed the size limits of your ISP per email).
    What is your file size in terms of pixels by pixels and Kbs? Open your saved file and choose Image>Resize Image and just read the specifics and close it.

  • I has to have my harddrive wiped and I reinstalled Mozilla Firefox but now it will not start when I click on it on the desk top?

    I have used Mozilla Firefox on my lap top before and it worked well. However, since I had to have my harddrive wiped, I had to reinstall Firefox and now everytime I click on the icon to start it, my computer bluescreens! I do not know what to do?

    Did you reinstall from backups, or www.Mozilla.org?

  • I am just about giving up!  I have upgraded Pages to 0.9 4.3.  Now when i copy text from an incoming email and paste it it pastes in as an Object and I can't work on it.

    I am just about giving up!  I have upgraded Pages to 0.9 (4.3).  Now when I copy text from an incoming email and paste it into Pages it pastes in as an Object and I can't work on it.  It has a border round it and corner markers.  I have never had this problem before.  I have looked at every conceivable thing but cannot find how to get rid of this Object and just paste in the wanted text.  If I fiddle and fiddle within this text I can eventually get a cursor and work on the text - but how on earth can I get rid of the surrounding box?  
    I don't know if this is at all clear but I can't think of any other way to describe this - but it looks like this in Pages with corner and top, bottom and side markers.

    Peter hello - I have been copying and pasting for as long as I can remember and it has NEVER done this before - so why now!? Anyway, Jerry has told me about Paste and Match Style --- yet another new thing! 
    I have also discovered that I don''t need to hold down Option when I go to Save to get Save As -  I can hold down 4 keys (shift, option, command and S) and it will bring up Save As!! 
    Thanks for your response.

  • When I Copy Text From Preview, It Pastes Gibberish

    More & more frequently, when I copy text from a pdf doc opened in Preview, it pasts gibberish.
    I sue to be able to quit preview in 10.5.x, now on my new iMac 10.6.x, it keeps pasting the same old gibberish.
    Besides using Reader, is there anything else that I can do because I like preview.

    Sounds like a mucked up font database. Restart into safe mode (hold down the SHIFT key during restart and after the chime), then restart normally. Details in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 Afterwards, launch Font Book, reset any collections, validate your fonts, and then resolve duplicates.

  • I want to copy and past 58 links from my IE favorites into the bookmarks toolbar...not one at a time. where's the folder i can copy these too?

    == i want to copy and past 58 links from my IE favorites into the bookmarks toolbar...not one at a time. where's the folder i can copy these too?

    Firefox doesn't store the bookmarks as separate files in a folder, but uses a sqlite database file with the name places.sqlite.
    You will have to export those favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

  • HT5598 My Apple IPad keeps crashing when ever I'm in any application. It crashes to the desk top with all my apps. How can this be fixed?

    My IPad crashes every time I use an application. It keeps crashing to the desk top where all the other apps are at. It doesn't matter what application I'm in either. How can this be fixed?

    Hey Hlrj09,
    I'd check out this article and follow the troubleshooting steps within:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
    Even though it is geared towards applications purchased from the App Store and you're experiencing the issue with all apps, most of the steps would still be applicable to your situation. I would also take a look at the troubleshooting assistant to see if that helps:

  • I was cleaning up the desk top on an old power mac G4 when I restarted an got a circle with slash and the small spinning wheel under it nothing else

    I received an old Power Mac G4 Quick Silver and was cleaning the desk top.  When I restarted all I got was a circle with a slash and the small spinning wheel under it...nothing else

    I suppose 3.6V PRAM battery is run out , so you'd better replace it.
    Or resetting PRAM could solve the problem.

  • How to stop iphone 4s from putting a space after the second digit, when entering a text number from the keypad

    How do I stop the iphone 4s from putting a space after the second digit, when entering a text number from the keypad. Entering a text number on the key pad like 61998 comes out on the screen as 61 998 and the sms fails to go.

    The space (or lack thereof) should have no effect on whether or not the SMS goes through. The spacing is intended to make it easier for the human eye to comprehend the number. I'd start by resetting the network settings in General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

  • When will Verizon Cell Tower installed in 2013 on Ridge Road in Town of Broome, Schoharie CountyNY be turned on? Where in the Verizon Co. can I find out about this

    A cell tower was installed in 2013 on Ridge Road in Town of Broome, Schoharie CountyNY. It appears to be ready to operate. When will it be turned on? Where in the Verizon Co. can I find out about this. I now depend on an unreliable and expensive dish-satellite system for internet access and would like to be able to take advantage of my Verizon WiFi cell to connect. Who and how do I contact Verizon to find out? Many thanks.

    Are you sure it isn't turned on? Are you sure it is even a Verizon tower? If it is a Verizon tower, it may not be turned on yet because it has not received approval from your local government. If it is awaiting approval, Verizon has no control about when approval will be granted.
