MacBook Pro :: Can't Copy And Paste Files Between The Two Partitions?

Jun 5, 2010

I am loving my new MBP to death but still grinding my teeth about some of the transitions to the Mac world... Two questions - I can click on my Bootcamp partition and see the files - why can't I copy and paste files between the two partitions? How do people do this? I am running OS X and Windows 7 in either partition - both 64 bit.

Ok - simple file management here that is driving me crazy... Copying a big directory as an over-write to another directory - and it gives me the "do you want to replace this directory" message... I click no - and am amazed to discover that anything new in that directory is NOT copied over. Is there any way - other than just replacing EVERYTHING - to copy a directory over when you just want to add every new file no matter what directory it is in ??? This would be a non-issue in Win 7

Intel Mac :: Cannot Find Copy And Paste Option In Clipboard

Apr 18, 2012

I understand that in order to view your clipboard (iMac) that you click "Edit" on the Finder, and "show clipboard". I created a public link (Alias) and it has gone into my clipboard but, when I click on it, to copy and then paste into, for example, an email, I don't have an option to do that. Therefore, I have to write the link down and then re-type it into the email.

OS X :: Copy And Paste An Image From A PDF?

Jul 24, 2008

Greetings -- I'm having trouble copying-and-pasting an image from a PDF. When I use Preview or Skim, I can select a region of a PDF and click "copy" and then paste that image into another program -- HOWEVER, the resolution of the pasted image seems to be fixed and not very good.

In Windows using Acrobat Reader, I would just zoom in and copy a region to get a higher-resolution copied image. However, no matter how I zoom in OS X I don't get higher-res copies.

I found a limited alternative, which is to use Previews 'grab' to select a region of the screen and copy as a tiff. This is essentially a 'print-screen' so that the resolution is as good as the current view. HOWEVER, this is rather limited and annoying because one needs to have the entire image able to fit on screen and because one has grab, then open the resulting file on the desktop, and THEN copy and paste from that new file.

Does anyone have tips on how to grab high res images off a pdf?

OS X :: Copy (and Paste) Does Not Work?

Feb 21, 2009

I have had my 15" macbook pro for about 6 months now. Amazing labtop...

Now i have learned almost all of the keyboard shortcuts and use them very frequently. The main ones I use are obviously + C followed by + V . However, recently my + C refuses to work! To copy something I have to manually go into the edit menu and select copy. Yet, all of my other keyboard shortcuts, including + V continue to work!

I don't understand. How do I fix this? Keep in mind, this has been going on for about a week so the computer has been turned on and off many times.

OS X :: How Do I Copy And Paste Using A PC Keyboard?

Aug 2, 2009

My mom bought this mac G4 from a guy and he didn't include a keyboard, so i've been using one of the keyboards we use for our PCs. On a PC simply holding down ctrl + C will copy and holding ctrl + V will paste. I can't do that with a mac. Is there anyway to copy and paste on this mac? I don't know if it's important or not but this mac is considered "vintage" as the guy at the mac store called it, meaning they cant get parts for it and we have to get a Tiger disk to upgrade it any.

OS X :: Unable To Cut Anything - Copy-paste Is OK

Aug 14, 2009

As a complete newbie in the mac-world, I am faced with some challenges since everything is (fortunately) not identical to the windows world.

One that is driving me nuts is that I am unable to cut anything in almost all applications and folders. I know the shortcut is what-that-keys-name (ctrl in windows) + X, but it doesn't work, since it is always "greyed" out/inactive.

Could someone explain why that is? I should say that most, not all, of the files were copied over via an external HD from my old windows machine.

OS X :: Using Copy/Paste Functions

Sep 1, 2009

My question is about the copy and paste functionality of the Mac while using Safari. For some work I do, I need to copy and paste website content to word documents (for example, in PC, I would select all, copy, and paste into Word). I can do the same thing with Safari and Pages, yet when I am on a site with drop-down menus and have selected the item from the menu and try 'select all, copy and paste' with Safari & Pages, it copies ALL drop down menu options. I only want it to copy the one I've selected. Also, this site allows me to enter free-form text in text boxes, but the select all/copy/paste doesnt pick up the text I've entered either.

OS X :: Copy And Paste Without Formatting

Jan 25, 2010

Just a real stupid question. Is there a generic way to copy and paste between applications without copying the formatting? If I copy from a website in safari to Excel (for example). The cells in Excel will be formatted exactly the same as on the website including different fonts, and sizes. But often I just want the text, not the formatting. Is there an easy way to do this?

OS X :: Looking For A Bloat Less Copy Paste?

Feb 23, 2010

Anyone here remembers when CopyPaste was a really simple but efficient app?

Simply press Cmd, C and any number from 1 to 9 to get additional clipboards.

Today's version of CopyPaste is a bloated piece of useless additions to the basic idea.

Is there a simple app that give us additional clipboards straight from the keyboard?
