Thanks Lyle but I wanted to have the links open directly from with the PDF in the email without having to copy to the desktop.
Maybe it is not possible or I'm barking up the wrong tree.

In the past I have received via email what I thought were PDFs with active links. Maybe they weren't PDFs?

Thanks again to all who replied to my query.

I'm thinking the copy/paste problems I've been encountering are related to the particular websites.

The whole issue popped up when I recently attempted to copy/paste my online confirmation of a utility company payment. I used to be able to copy the entire message, but lately have been able to only copy one word or one line at a time.

It's really no biggie...just was wondering why, after years of having something "work," it suddenly doesn't. Those types of issues just get my curiosity up.

Questions Regarding Repairing Permissions

I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro (see specs in sig), and although my system is running beautifully, I have noticed that every time I repair permissions... and I get the confirmation that the permissions noted have been repaired... the very next time I run the repair, the very same permissions that were there before, keep coming up. There are approximately 22 to 24 permissions that never seem to get repaired.

Nothing seems to change, so am I missing something here in regards to repairing those permissions, or do I have to somehow manually repair them?

Thanks for your help.

What you see as repeatedly being repaired is 100% normal.

What the repair command does is read the default permissions in a special file called a receipt.

Receipts are found in a System folder and are put there during install of some applications. Not all programs have a receipt file.

Well thank you for the explanation. Earlier I was googling "Repair Permissions" and I read many posts where readers mentioned that after performing the repairs, there eventually were no permissions that needed repair. Based on that, I was expecting to eventually see something similar after the repair process completed. It is a little confusing to keep seeing the same results... as if nothing really was being repaired. However, if you say this is 100% normal, I will not concern myself with it any longer.

Thanks again for your continued help Denver Dan. :-)

Howdy.

In addition . . . the time it takes to repair and the messages you see
will vary in different versions of OS X. Still normal.

Correction of my earlier message.

For the Receipts files, look in Library/Receipts (not in
System/Library/Receipts).

Those are advisory messages. Nothing still needs to be repaired.
You can safely ignore those messages.

Lion Invisible Files Experience

Posted by: "Denver dan" denver.dan@verizon.net   denverdan22180

Sat Jan 7, 2012 10:20 am (PST)



Last night I opened my Documents folder. All of the filed in the folder were OK.

But if I clicked on any sub folder in Documents, it was pry of files, no icons, no sub sub folders.

It turned out that ALL folders had suddenly become empty. Applications, Pictures, Music..All.

A Time Machine Restore I tried for one folder reported it would over write the original files.

Dock items still launched invisible app or opened the file.

Get Info showed space taken in folders.

A restart fixed the problem.

Anyone have a similar Lion experience?

This has always bothered me.

Notwithstanding my righthandedness, I always used a mouse with my left hand and I always set up it so that its primary button would be different than that of most people.

Now I use a trackpad that I�ve set up to suit my uniqueness.

It has always bothered me to hear terms like 'rightclick' as if it were universal. It ain�t so. To say "Make a right turn." is not the same as "Head north.". The latter is unambiguous, the former can be problematic depending upon original road-travel orientation.

I�d like to see terms that reflect primary functions and secondary functions. I threw out '2func' in the subject line as a humorous attempt at a new term. ... \--: ...

Any thoughts? How about 'primeclick' & �nonprimeclick' or '#1-click' & '#2-click'? Oneal

Why not use the term "control-click"? It already exists, and accurately describes the "secondary" click function.

Or indeed "secondary click" as used by Apple? Oneal is already halfway
there with "secondary functions".

I prefer "control-click", though, because it works with all Mac OSes and
hardware and is something many Mac users know from long experience.

Which brings up a question:

I've recently noticed messages which talk about pressing " ^Control-click".

What's the purpose of the carat before Cpntrol? For a time I supposed it
might mean Shift, but it doesn't.

Howdy.

The carat symbol, ^, found on the 6 key on the top number row, has for
decades been a standard character that represents "Control."

Control characters began, IIRC, on teletype machines and with the basic
ASCII character set. The first 33 "characters" were non printing
characters that acted as commands to do things like ring a bell,
carriage return, new line of text, and more.

caret is spelling for computer/ASCII caret symbol. ^

caret is a proofreader's mark showing where something is to be
inserted. ^ usually below text line.

carrot is a vegetable. "Ehhh, what's Up Doc?"

carats are how diamonds are weighed. Lots of carats at Tiffany's.

karat is sometimes used as a weight measurement for gold as in 24K.
Also at Tiffany's.

ASCII means American Standard Code for Information Interchange. They
may have been an early development from Telegraph codes.

^ 7 along with a terminal ID would cause a bell to ring on a remote
dumb terminal on a Prime mainframe system I used to admin.

^ 7 in a teletype message would cause a bell to ring at the remote
machine that was going to receive a message to alert the folks there
that a message was ready to come through and be printed.

Ain't English a stitch?

I accessed my copy of "PopChar" and find they identify the " ^ " symbol
as a "Circumflex Accent".

Still a caret to me. I had misspelled the word. It's a 'caret'.

The question remains...

Which you did misspell above :-)
It is a word that has four totally different ways of spelling it, all
of different meanings. The character is caret. The vegetable is
carrot. A unit of weight for jewels (diamonds in particular) is
carat. I believe it is 200mg. Karat is a measure of the purity of
gold, pure gold being 24k.

I can think of two other word sets in English where there are four
possible spellings for that series of phonemes.
Right/rite/wright/write and err/air/ere/heir.

In which case, why would anyone repeat the command " ^ " as well as the
word Control, if they mean the same thing.
Sighhh.
My Mac keyboard doesn't have a Carat on the same key as says Command.
If it's all that important, leave it on, eh?

I mean, my Command key still has the 'propeller", but the Option key has
shed the oddball symbol < ⌥ > that used to be on that key.

No consistency...

Not that it is particularly relevant, but I'm curious as to why?

Both are unambiguous, but may mean different things.

Yes.
1. You are already making an assumption when you call them "primary" and "secondary".
2. Are you ever confused when you read "right-click"?
I certainly know what to do with my trackpad in that situation.

> How about 'primeclick' & �nonprimeclick' or '#1-click' & '#2-click'?

Perhaps when a majority of users no longer have 2-button mice used with their right hands.

Yeah, an aside here: I rushed out and bought a Magic Trackpad as soon as it came out. Kinda sorry I did. It is not as intuitive an interface as I would have liked. I've used it for months and months, but have gone back to the mouse.

My personal Macs have been laptops, staring with the "Wallstreet" G3 in 1998. All have had trackpads.

Last year, when need for repair/service took it away, I lived with the MacPro in the other room, and almost *immediately* ran out and bought an Apple trackpad, so I could continue working that way.
