When I try to copy & paste FROM Firefox to a text document, note pad or another window, 80+% of the time it fails. A Firefox or Windows issue?

Only recently did this issue start.

I have a similar problem; but I think the cause of the "already running" message is that my computer crashed.
I rebooted before I learned to look for the parent lock file, but even when I knew to look for it, I found my original profile folder to be empty.
So I created another profile folder, and FF works, but I cannot access my old profile folder. When I open the location where it should be, nothing's there. But if I go to profile manager, I see my original profile is still there (and it has a location, it's where it should be - and where it's invisible, but even if I type in this location, nothing comes up).
I tried making all folders visible (I run Windows 7), but this did not make my old profile visible.
I want to find it because of the bookmarks I bookmarked recently.

    I keep getting this message the past week when I try to copy/paste text to Pages or upload a picture to a website chat forum. I don't know what it means, or how to correct it. I'm running a 2009 iMac desktop with OSX Lion 10.7.3  with 2 GB  Any help appreciated.

    Running the Lion Os requires a MINIMUM of 2 GB of RAM, as you have.  However, with that little RAM the computer will have trouble with many memory based tasks, such as copying and pasting.  You really need to increase the amount of RAM your computer has in order to increase its speed and performance.  Now, when a task requires more RAM than your system has available then the OS will use some harddrive space temporarily instead.  This is called "Virtual Memory."  Is it possible that at this time that your harddrive is very full relative to its stated capacity, so that even "virtual memory" is not really available?  If that is the case, you really need to cleanup your harddrive by deleting a fair number of less used files.
    Hope this helps

    Hi ya'll! I'm still learning how to navigate my way with Lightroom. (Last time I wrote, I did get some responses that work. Thanks so much!) Now, I have another question. When I try to copy pics from my external drive to a CD/DVD, no matter if do it from LR or my drive, I keep getting the message; "Disk burning is not supported by LR on this computer." I've tried everything I can think of, so, I thought I'd see if anyone may know if there's anything I can do. Or could it be that my computer just can't handle it? Help!!! So frustrating!!  I have a PC Lenovo computer, I don't know if this makes any difference. Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help!!!

    Have you burned Discs with other programs using this computer? Are you certain that you have a drive that will burn discs?

  • Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    If you delete songs (and other items) from the main iTunes library, yes, you need to empty the Trash because iTunes puts the song files into the Trash.  When deleting items from an iPod, the items are not being deleted from the main iTunes library, so nothing should end up in the Trash.
    Hopefully, you are not deleting items from your main iTunes library, just to sync those deletions from the iPod.  If you are, there is a better way.  You can post back if you want more info...

  • When I try to copy files from my computer (just pics) to my iPhone's media folder via Finder under 10.7, I get this error...

    I'm using MacFuse to connect via Finder. It worked before, even on 10.7. But since I cannected th eiPhone to my Windows 7 dual boot partition, now it won't work! Maybe it was just a coincidence, not sure. Just returns this error:
    "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003)."
    I get this one when I try to copy files OFF of the iPhone:
    "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8072)."
    Sounds like a permissions error to me. So I fixed permissions on my Mac with disc utility, but same problem. Then chmod with terminal the media folder. Did nothing. So I can't change permissions, and they're not broken. What could've happened? I'm like, locked out of my device!

  • When I try to transfer pictures from droid to Mac it does not transfer all videos

    Not only have a ton of pictures just disappeared but when I try to copy all the pictures to my Mac it misses a bunch of videos. I don't know why.
    This droid has a mind of it's own and has deleted a ton of pictures. Nothing helps. I just want to know why some of my videos are not being copied.

    Hello,
    I want to help you, I just need some further information. From previous posts I see you have an Incredible 2, is that correct? When you open the phone's hard drive on the computer, does it see all the videos on the phone? Are these all videos that were taken on the phone itself or downloaded from a different source?
    If you haven't already, I would suggest transferring each video manually. You can also try using V Cast Media Manager to transfer the files. Here is the link to get the software: http://products.verizonwireless.com/index.aspx?id=fnd_mediaManager. Click on download desktop app, then choose Mac. 
    If you need any further assistance, let us know.

  • Why do I get an error message 'write access not granted' when I try to copy paste jpegs from my folder on desktop to an external hard drive/(Transcend)pendrive

    This is a new problem. I transferred some images from my Nikon camera via image capture but converted my raw files to jpegs in the Nikon View nx 2 software and saved them in a new folder on my desktop. I use a 2010 MBP that has OS10.9.5 fully updated. When i tried copying and pasting the jpegs to an external pen drive I got an error message saying the jpg (the number) could not be saved as write access is not granted. I thought the pen drive may be full. So I attached an external hard drive.  got the same message. I then opened the same jpeg in photoshop cc and tried saving it as png on the hard drive, got the same message. Was unable to handover the photographs to my client. Was hugely embarrassed. Pl let me know if there is a way out of this and if its a Mac OSX issue? Thanks.

    right click on the jpeg (the other mouse button then you use to click with) or on trackpad, hold down control and click, in the menu that pops up, click on "get info" next, if the box labeled "locked" is checked, uncheck it. Down at the bottom, there should be a box with your user name, "staff" and "everyone". to the right of this are options to change these you may need to click the small padlock icon and enter in your password. then change all of the permissions to read and write.

  • I have a Macbook Pro, my external hardrive appears on disk utilities as writeable but when I try to copy files from my Mac to the hardrive it won't copy. Also, when I go to info on the hardrive it says read only :=S

    Are you saying that in the Get Info window you don't see a section like this:

  • Why do i get this everytime i copy/paste in firefox - ''Id: "context-paste" Command: "cmd_paste" OnCommand: none Type: menuitem Label: "Paste"''?

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [/questions/783791]</blockquote><br>
    Hi, since while ago I started to get this anoying thing when I try to copy/paste in Firefox 3.6.13:
    '''''Id: "context-paste" Command: "cmd_paste" OnCommand: <none> Type: menuitem Label: "Paste"'''''
    I get the above when I try to paste. I have to do copy/paste 2 or 3 times to get it to work. I'm using a Personas theme and some Extras that I've already used before in older versions and I've never had any problem with that.
    What could be the problem?
    Thanks.

    I'm curious about this secondary buffer, which I've never heard of. Is it really possible to copy to and from it? again, this would solve the same problem, with the mozilla url, if you could copy from xterm into the secondary buffer, go highlight the text in location to the primary buffer, and then paste from the secondary buffer. BUT, how do you get text into and out of the secondary buffer? Is it application specific (sucks if it is...)?
    Dusty
    the secondary buffer is overly complicated to use, so nothing uses it really (I don't think anything beyond xterm can use it) - basically, the run down is that you have one "selection owner" and two buffers... the application needs to do all this roundabout work to keep the selection owner the same after the secondary buffer is filled... it's wierd and I don't understand it... needless to say, you might be able to copy *into* it, but out of it is beyond that...
    most people (including the FSF) just recommend against even trying to understand it...
