Control Shift Command 4 copies a picture of screen selection to the clipboard. The command works to paste the picture in any program except Mail. Paste does nothing. Is this a bug in Mail? Using SL on MacBook Pro.
View 2 RepliesI 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.

One thing I hate about the new 10.6.4 is that the names of Screen shots are a block and a half long... as they include that day and time..fair enough, but many dialog boxes in BB's where I want to post some screen shots trunciate that making finding it a time consuming thing. before it simply said screen shot and a number...anyway I can go back to that method/system that does not require a PHD in computer programing. I have googled it, and there are things about writing 'scripts' etc... (that loses me completely...anyone know an easier method... (and when apple change things like this, why dont they give the option to use the old ways...?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI used GRAB to grab a couple of maps off of mapquest. I couldn't find them afterwards and I discovered they were in dashboard. Wierd??
Now I can't get rid of them. I've tried dragging them to the trash, clicking on them, trying to find them in the Finder. Nada. Nothing. I can't figure out how to get rid of them. When I clicked on one of them the entire machine froze and I had to turn the power off to get it to start up again.

I'm running 10.5.2 on a MB Pro. Previously, when I used the built-in screen capture utility (Command+Shift+3 (or 4)) the capture would be saved in .png format into my "Desktop" directory. Now, when I do captures the data is not saved to a file, but instead is copied to my clipboard. Why and how can I correct this?

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.
I went to install a typical Mac OS update using software updater only this time when it completed my click-drag and copy-paste functions stopped working. Can anyone help solve this? Here is what I have tried.
restarted (multiple times), tried booting up in Safe Mode (by pressing shift when starting up), and repaired disk permissions using disk utility. I even ran all of the daily, weekly and monthly scripts using Cocktail.

I am however in IT and consider myself a Windows expert and technically competent. I have an iBook G4 running Mac OS 10.5.6. In all other respects the computer and OS seem fine. However, when I launch mail, no window appears in the screen. The menu bar at the top does switch to Mail. If I attempt to close mail at anytime, it will not close - I have to Force Quit mail. I have setup mail preferences correctly and am able to access the mail account from several other computers and iPods with POP clients. I know that it is setup correctly, because when I first installed the OS and set it up it worked. After installing several other standard software packages (iLife, iWork, Adobe, ...) mail came to be in it's present state. Unfortunately, I can't say exactly when or what change corresponded with the Mail problem. The only way to get a window to appear is to pull down "Window" and choose "message viewer". The inbox then appears. If I click "get mail", nothing appears to happen and no messages (inbox items or errors) appear. Also there is a smart mailbox called "saved mail" created (I did this when first playing around with mail) that I can't delete. I can select and perform the delete procedure, but the smart mailbox never goes away (even after reboot).
If I run "Connection Doctor", the connection and login for incoming mail server and the connection to the outgoing mail server both succeed. But again, clicking on get mail does not yield any readily observable results. I have tried sending test mail as well. There is no apparent outbox that I check so I don't know if there are messages in there, but none of the test messages make it to the recipient.
I have setup mail on a variety of systems (Windows, Linux, Unix, etc) over the years and have a thorough understanding of the workings of e-mail clients and servers.
Also, are there any other (preferably free) mac mail clients that combine the inbox, address book, and calendar?
I did a search on this forum and on google and I can't find out how to cut and paste something from mail and then place it in a form on Safari. I see all of the complaints about the iphone but nothing on osx.
I can copy with no problem but when I go to right click where I want to paste the information, the paste option is grayed out.
This is useful for copy and pasting tracking information and or searching for addresses.
I have tried using the menu bar as well as right clicking and I just can't get this to work.
where is the problem- my copy and paste doesnt work anymore. Neither shortcut cmd+c/cmd+v, nor any other way. I used it often and there was no problem before.

Sometimes when I cut a line of text and paste it into a mail I am writing and then continue to add to the mail the text gets very tiny.
I can only get back to the original font size if I start a new mail.

Everthing's been fine since I first setup my Mac Mini over a year ago....2 or 3 days ago I noticed when I tried to do a cut/paste from a mail message to a field (using Cmd-C Cmd-V) in a web page, it didn't work. It's alsways worked before but I chalked it up to the web form not taking "pasted" input. But then I tried from a text document to an email...same story. I highlight text with the mouse, do Cmd-C and get a "bong" sound, then go to where I want to paste, do a Cmd-V and nothing gets pasted. I take it the "bong" means some sort of error or invalid input occured?
I restarted the Mini and it worked for a while (at least when I tried it right after logging in). Then yesterday I had to restart my Mini again and the shortcuts aren't working again. If I highlight text and then right-click the mouse and select copy, then move to where I want to paste and right-click and select paste it works fine....just the keyboard shortcuts don't work. I checked the sytem prefs, keyboard pane and saw nothing out of the ordinary.....any ideas out there?
Does Apple Mail have ability to paste boiler plate text? In MS Office Windows I used to setup many boiler plate texts that I would access through keyboard shortcuts, such as Control H for "Please don't hesitate to contact me." Can Mail do a similar thing?
