Why can't i cut and paste

Downloaded the new Mountain Lion and now I can't cut and paste. Tried the keyboard shortcuts and the drop down menu with no luck. Also can't accomplish this from right clicking. Any ideas?

Hi elg07,
Welcome to the Safari Discussions Forum. It's interesting you should mention that.
I did a quick 'drop-down' of the Edit menu, and those facilities are greyed out, but as soon as I highlighted the subject matter of your post, lo and behold, the cut & paste facilities appeared in black, so it is possible to copy & paste, provided you run the cursor over the item or passage you wish to copy (mine highlights in yellow), you should be able to copy and paste.
Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I cut and paste email addresses when sending documents?

    Why can't I cut and paste email addresses when sending files? I have to type them in each time...And it doesn't remember them for the future, as SendNow did.
    Also, it seems that the message I type in is not kept, as it was with SendNow?
    Thanks!

    Hi drlaura,
    You're correct on both counts--these features work differently Adobe Send than they do in Adobe SendNow.
    If you're sending files from Adobe Reader, you can access your local Address Book, which should make entering email addresses easier. Please see: I’m trying to send a file from Adobe Reader, but I can’t access my computer’s address book to find my contacts. Why not?
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Why can't I cut and paste photos between project?

    I recently made the transition from iPhoto to Aperture. One of the weird things is that I can't cut and paste photos between projects. In iPhoto this is an easy way to organize your projects if some photos are in the wrong place.
    You also can't split projects, in iPhoto you can do this easily. Say, if two day's photos ending being in the same project, in iPhoto there's a button that you split them in the middle. Is there something like this in Aperture?

    Copy and Paste:
    In iPhoto "copy and paste" was possible, because it was not possible in the early versions, to see both projects at the same time, the one you are moving from, and the one you are moving to.
    In Aperture you simply drag from the source project to the destination project to move image versions around. Also, it is easy to see more than one project in the Browser at the same time, see: Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Two or More Browsers Open
    To drag to another project, select the images in the project, then drag to the other project in the source list, for example:
    To split a project, select the images you want to have in the split part, then create a new project from these images: Enable the check mark "Move selected items to new project". This will split the original project.

  • Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library?

    Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library? I want to have a copy of the music on iTunes so when I update to a newer version of iOS I don't lose my music. And no I didn't buy this music off iTunes and neither will I use iTunes Match.

    There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
    All of your media should be in iTunes already.
    If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
    If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

  • Can no longer cut and paste artwork

    While it ***** to have to outline everything, it at least is a method of getting vector graphics into keynote.
    Hopefully this will be addressed at some point.
    Already sorted in Keynote 6.2.
    Vector graphics can be imported into keynote by dragging and dropping an EPS .eps or Illustrator .ai file from the finder directly on to the Keynote slide canvass, or selecting the object in Illustrator and dragging onto the slide canvass.

  • Keynote and transfer of presentations why can't I copy and paste?

    Hey Community!
         I've always been a Mac lover, but now....... I'm ready to do somethin'......  Very frustrated with update to new Mavericks and Keynote V.6.  I have updated my presentations from the previous version of Keynote into the new version.  I am trying to copy and paste elements from multiple seperates presentations into one presentation.  When I paste the presentation into my "master", the font size changes, format changes.  It's a pain in the (beep, boop, poop).
    I get a message:  OSX Spotlight search information was removed".
         I'm really confused.  Why can't one just copy and paste from one show to another when its in the same program!?

    If I understand correctly you want the title to appear on top of a later video clip so both title and clip are visible.   The problem is the "whites" background which is both making the background opaque and stopping you from pasting it above another clip.  If you just select and drag the title by itself, the background will be transparent so the video clip below will show through.  You should also be able to copy and paste it directly above the clip you want.
    If you want different parts of the title to have a special effect you will have to edit each instance after you have made and positioned the copies.
    I hope this helps - or have I misunderstood?

  • Why can't i copy and paste a calendar event?

    Why does Apple not implement copy/paste of events in the iPhone and iPod calendar. People have asked for this very simple feature for years now, and Apple is unresponsive. Furthermore, I have been told by several calendar app developers that Apple will not allow them to implement the feature. For example, Calvetica and Week Cal HD both told me they were not allowed by Apple to implement copy/paste. Additionally, Week Cal HD had implemented the feature, and Apple removed the app from the store! What is going on here? I think we deserve an answer. Windows Mobile always allowed copy/paste of calendar entries, even many years ago. This just doesn't make sense unless there is some bigger issue in play. I also notice that the calendar is never included in the list of OS apps. Does Apple not own the calendar app it provides as standard?

    What do you want help with?  The feature you're referring to does not exist, therefore no help can be given.
    Sounds like what he wants is an explanation. Like Rockpaper said, that's at least partially what these forums are for.  I know this is an old thread, but I wouldn't mind hearing an explanation myself.  The lack of that functionality is pretty mind boggling, you have to admit.

    This problem should be at least partly fixed in Firefox 5, which will be released later this month. If you'd like to help us test the fix now, you can download Firefox Beta from the Android Market:

  • Why can't I copy and paste from Illustrator to Flash?

    I have this silly but frustrating problem. I've drawn a
    series of objects in Illustrator and have copied and pasted many of
    them into separate frames in Flash and all of a sudden they won't
    paste. There are 3 objects I'm trying to paste onto each frame and
    2 of them will paste, but 1 won't. I don't have anything locked and
    I have no clipping masks in Illustrator. They will copy and paste
    in Illustrator. I've tried copy and pasting them separately, I've
    tried opening a new Flash document and pasting, I've tried
    restarting my computer. Does this sound like just another freak
    thing or does anyone have any ideas? Is there some keyboard
    shortcut I might have bumped in Flash to change some hidden
    setting...? But then why is it just 1 of the 3 objects that won't
    paste?
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I think I tried all the options and none worked. Even so, the clipboard options say "Clipboard on Quit". That sounds like it has nothing to do with between active programs.
    I'm able to paste from CS5 TO CC though.

  • Why can't I copy and paste from word into websites?

    Hi,
    I have been accepted as a writer for 3 online publishers, but cannot copy and paste examples of my work from Word into their websites. The clipboard behaviour seems erratic - sometimes I can copy text from websites and paste into Word, sometimes not.
    Can somebody help? It is vital that I am able to supply examples of my written work without having to physically re-type everything or send the examples as attachments.
    Thanks,

    Do you wait until the Copy button turns blue and then does the Paste button turns blue when you paste the text?

  • Why can't I copy and paste from my notepad?

    I am trying to "copy" from my notepad and "paste" it to another site. It won't work!!  Is it the other site or something I am doing wrong??

    I touch the screen, then touch "select all", then touch "copy".  (I'm
    trying to paste it into a dating site - no laughing, please?!?! - in
    reply to a message someone sent me.) I go to the site and touch
    and hold my finger where I want to paste it, but when I have the option
    of touching "paste", nothing pastes. Sure has me baffled!!!!????
