Why, suddenly, does copying the URL result in a text clipping rather than a webloc? file?

Copying a URL has always resulted in a webloc file. No more, very recently. All I get is a text clipping with the contents of the URL box.

If you are using Safari you can select the URl then go the services under the Safari menu at the menu bar, scroll down and select Text Edit and then select New Window Containing Selection and the URL will be saved as a Text Edit file completely intact, nothing to add. Takes about 2 seconds.
Well, yes, but then I'm back where I started. I don't want a great big TextEdit document just to hold a few words of text that I want to have easily available for copy/paste. I want a text clipping, which is (1) small and (2) easy to use: just double-click it and press cmd-C (no need to select anything, in fact you can't), then paste wherever desired. Interesting that this procedure creates a new TextEdit .txt file, even though I have it set in Preferences to make new files .rtf.
Anyway, it seems there's no way to do what I wanted to do. You get a text clipping (".textClipping") file when you drag selected text to the desktop, and apparently when the Finder sees the text has "http://" at the beginning, it assumes you want a .webloc, and makes that; it's not a function of whether the text is dragged from a browser or another app, it's just what the Finder sees in it. So ClipEdit is the solution; it can create a text clipping as a new document, with whatever you want in it. I also put the URL I want to use often (i.e. put into documents, not use as in go to that address) into iSnip, which unfortunately seems to have ceased development.

Is this happing because the external is formatted to PC and not mac?
Yes that is correct.
Will I need to get a mac external hard drive if I wish to continue to save my documents like this?
If you no longer use a PC you could format this drive for the Mac. However be aware that formatting a drive will erase all the data on it. So you would need someplace to copy the data off this drive to while you did the re-format and then you could copy the data back.
You could get another drive, format it for the Mac and copy the data to it. Then re-format the original drive and use it as a backup drive. Always good to have backups.
Post back with the drive type and size of the current drive, if you are doing backups now and how and if you still need to access this drive from a PC.

Received sync verification email at my aol account, but when I click the verify button, nothing happens. I can't copy the url: aol won't let me. Now what?

Just downloaded firefox for the first time. I'm stuck on the verify step of the sync process.
I'm using aol desktop software on Windows 7. AOL won't let me copy the url behind the verify button to another browser, and it won't open the firefox accounts window when I click on verify (the tab opens, but the window stays blank....refresh does not help). I'm stuck.
I do not use outlook on this computer.

This is happening to me too. Every time I try to resend the verification email it does not work either. I am filing a bug.

I want to create an external video widget with iAd. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.

i want to create an external video widget with iAd to use in an iBook. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.
hope someone can help!

May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget. I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field, the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you.
Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

Copy the inspection result from one lot to multiples lots!!

Hi SAP expert,
I want to copy the inspection result from one lot to multiples lots, currently i know how to setup the copy to another lot(SAML Response from SAP ID Service ) , but i dont know to do to multiples lot.
¿Someone can help me?
Thank you

First you have to customizing the functionality of Copy of Inspection Results using the following path, where you have to entry the inspection types, plant .etc., where you want to have the functionality.
SPRO -> Quality Management -> Quality Inspection -> Make Settings for Copy of Inspection Results
Then when you are in Record Result screen you select Menu -> Edit -> Copy Inspection Results ,
then a pop-up window is displayed and you filled in with the inspection lot which has the results and then another pop-up window is displayed to select the characteristics that you want to copy.
A.P.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug.

I've been trying to get the spreadsheet in numbers to be portrait rather than landscape, but cannot seem to be able to work out how. Maybe it's not possible, does anyone know how?

When I send a text message, the iPhone 4s sends it via email rather than to the mobile phone number I wish to message. How do I change that default?

My wife (who has a Droid) asked me to text a photo to her. I went to Message on my 4s, selected my wife as the target for the text, selected the photo, and sent the text. Rather than appearing on her mobile phone, the text went to her email. When I selected my wife as the person I wanted to text, I was not given any choice of the target phone number or email address...it just defaulted to her email and did not tell me that is what it was doing! I did find a solution, but it's more complicated. I have to go to Contacts, select my wife, and then I'm given a choice of how I want to send the Message. Why doesn't the iPhone do this in Messages in the first place?

I am not sure what you mean.
Do you mean the From field?
You can change it by tapping it, it will give you options based on the other email accounts set up.
You can set a default account here:
Sttings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to the Mail section & you will see Default Account. You can change that to your gmail account.

Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than OUT?

Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than VIDEO OUT? is for a student with visual impairment who needs to view the classroom digital board content from a very short distance, like the distance to an Ipad for example, so the Ipad would be ideal as an interactive monitor with typography and content easy to amplify.
At the moment, this student has a traditional flat screen monitor taking over the table next to him, so no other child can seat in it, and he has no opportunity to befriend and sporadically joke with anybody else. So much for "inclusion".
Please do let me know: [email protected]

Speaking as a teacher ... Why can't he have a student on the other side of him?

You cannot. (A few email programs might show it automatically; you cannot stop that either).

Why my Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file.

My Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file. My OP is windows XP sp2.

Hi mha007,
Go to this site "http://www.nseindia.com/content/indices/ind_histvalues.htm"
Select any Index type and from dates select just one day or any number of days. Click "Get Details" button. This will open tabular data on loaded page (with link CSV file link at bottom).
When I click this link, it opens CSV file in new tab (in Firefox browser) and does not open download window (just as in case of other file formats like *.zip, *.rar or *.xls).
Right-click of link does not give "save as" or "save file" option.
Firefox is my preferred and default browser.

surprisingly, When I do same thing in IE6 browser, data-table page shows 2 options below table, i.e. (1) download file (2) open file.

How do I copy the URL of a PDF file that I have opened in FireFox using FoxIt Reader add-on?

This does NOT seem to be a FoxIt question because, when I use FoxIt 5.0 as my PDF reader in Internet Explorer 8, I do not have this problem. I have encountered the problem only when using FoxIt 5.0 as my PDF reader in FireFox 4.0. The problem is quite annoying. I NEED to capture the URLs of the PDFs I view and I prefer to use FireFox as my browser. The problem exists because no destination field is displayed when FoxIt opens in FireFox. A destination field IS displayed when FoxIt opens in IE.

Another option for sending large files is to use :
http://www.filedropper.com/
You upload the files to the website and it creates
a URL that you can copy and paste into an email
which you send to the recipient and they use the
generated link to get the file.
