[How to Copy and Paste on Mac - How-To Geek](^4^)



With Universal Clipboard, you can copy text, images, photos, and videos on one Apple device and then paste the content on another Apple device. For example, you can copy a recipe from your Mac and paste it into a note on your nearby iPhone. Or copy a file from one Mac to paste in a folder on another Mac.


Copy and paste is one of the most basic and helpful computer shortcuts. It saves time and ensures that text and images are preserved in their original form; no need to type out text you see on a webpage into an email or document when you can simply copy and paste.




Copy All For Mac




There are several different ways to copy and paste on a Mac, and knowing them all helps you use this function no matter what you're copying and pasting. You can even copy and paste content across Apple devices.


1. Highlight the text you want to copy using your mouse or trackpad, then right-click. If you're copying an image, GIF, or another file type, simply hover the cursor over it before clicking.


If you need to move text, an image or another object from one part of a document to another, or from one app to another, you need to use copy (or cut) and paste. On a Mac or MacBook, the keyboard shortcuts for this are different to other devices, so if you are coming from Windows you might be confused.


We find that there is nothing more frustrating than copying and pasting from one document to another, or from one application to another, only to find that it also copies over the formatting (such as the font). This is annoying if you have different formatting in the document you are working on and it makes things look mismatched.


An external storage device (external hard drive or USB flash drive) can be used to copy data between your Mac and your new PC. For the broadest compatibility, you can format that drive with the exFAT* file system, which both macOS* and Windows* can write to.


When you back up your iPhone using iTunes or iCloud, a copy of all of your text messages is automatically included in the backup file. The problem is, you cannot directly access that file and read it since iTunes and iCloud do not provide that access. In order to copy your text messages from your iPhone to your Mac in a format you can then read directly, you will need to use a different application, such as iExplorer or PhoneView.


Click on an SMS conversation in the middle pane, or click "All." Click "Copy From iPhone" in the top menu, select the location to store your SMS messages and click "Save." PhoneView will copy your SMS messages to that location on your Mac.


To copy and paste text, images, or files on a Mac, you can either use the contextual menu or keyboard shortcuts. The contextual menu is a pop-up screen that appears when you tap on your mouse or trackpad.


Instead of copying, you can choose to cut textand images to move them from one location to another. Unlike copying whichretains the copied text, the Cut command will get rid of the text in theoriginal file.


There are numerous guides for getting the most from rsync, rsync command examples provides relevant examples. Take care with the trailing slashes; these can make a world of difference if your copy starts with a folder.


I'd still use rsync, because if interrupted for any reason (cat steps on the power switch?), rsync will not recopy the files that were already successful. It also won't copy any files that are the same and in the same place.


The Restore function in Disk Utility makes use of a block copyfunction that can speed up the copy process. It also makes an almostexact copy of the source device. When we say "almost exact," we don'tmean to imply that useful data may get left behind, because that's notthe case. What it means is that a block copy copies everything in adata block from one device to the other. The results are almost anexact copy of the original. A file copy, on the other hand, copiesdata file by file, and while the file data remains the same, thelocation of the file on the source and destination devices will likelybe very different.


WARNING: When you restore one volume to another, all the files on the destination volume are erased. Before you restore a volume, copyany files on the destination volume that you want to save to adifferent volume.


Do a thorough backup and file clean-up before you make the transfer. Then, transfer your files over a network, burn them to a CD or DVD, or copy them to a USB flash drive. If the new system is on the same Mac, you can copy them from one partition to another.


Using Bcc in Apple Mail is fairly simple, and is available through macOS Sierra 10.12 and later. Blind carbon copy (Bcc) will send your email to multiple addresses in a group without revealing those addresses to the recipients.


I really do not want to export all 1,000 entries and copy those files over to the new computer. I've found that the exported files when run require you to enter the username/password verse automatically getting it from (I assume) the keychain.


Apple includes a useful tool as part of macOS: Migration Assistant. This feature is similar to Setup Assistant, which only runs during the setup of a new Mac; therefore, if you have set up your Mac as new, you will have to use Migration Assistant to copy files from either a backup or a different Mac.


If you go this route, you then must manually copy files from your old Mac, or from a backup. This part of the process can be time-consuming, but it can allow you to sift through your files to find what you really need, and slim down your Mac. When you do this, you may be surprised to find how much you can ignore from your old Mac.


Your Library Folder: there is a special folder in your home folder called Library. By default, this folder is hidden, but it contains many files that you should copy. For example, all of your email is in this folder, as is the information in the Contacts app. First, you need to tell your Mac to display this folder. Go go to your home folder; you should see folders like Documents, Pictures, Movies, etc. Choose View > Show View Options, or press Command-J, then, at the bottom of the window, check Show Library Folder. It will now be permanently visible.


Here are some of the folders that you want to copy from the old Library folder to the new one; though if you sync a lot of data with iCloud, then many of the folders below will already be populated with your up-to-date data:


As you work on your new Mac, you may find that certain files are missing. For this reason you should absolutely not delete your old backup, and especially the /Library folder. You may need to go back into that folder and copy some other files to the new Mac.


When you move an item, the item is copied to the destination vault, then deleted from the original vault. If you want to permanently delete the original copy of the item, learn how to permanently delete items.


The shutil module offers a number of high-level operations on files andcollections of files. In particular, functions are provided which support filecopying and removal. For operations on individual files, see also theos module.


Copy the contents of the file-like object fsrc to the file-like object fdst.The integer length, if given, is the buffer size. In particular, a negativelength value means to copy the data without looping over the source data inchunks; by default the data is read in chunks to avoid uncontrolled memoryconsumption. Note that if the current file position of the fsrc object is not0, only the contents from the current file position to the end of the file willbe copied.


Copy the permission bits from src to dst. The file contents, owner, andgroup are unaffected. src and dst are path-like objects or path namesgiven as strings.If follow_symlinks is false, and both src and dst are symbolic links,copymode() will attempt to modify the mode of dst itself (ratherthan the file it points to). This functionality is not available on everyplatform; please see copystat() for more information. Ifcopymode() cannot modify symbolic links on the local platform, and itis asked to do so, it will do nothing and return.


When follow_symlinks is false, and src is a symboliclink, copy2() attempts to copy all metadata from thesrc symbolic link to the newly created dst symbolic link.However, this functionality is not available on all platforms.On platforms where some or all of this functionality isunavailable, copy2() will preserve all the metadatait can; copy2() never raises an exception because itcannot preserve file metadata.


This factory function creates a function that can be used as a callable forcopytree()'s ignore argument, ignoring files and directories thatmatch one of the glob-style patterns provided. See the example below.


Recursively copy an entire directory tree rooted at src to a directorynamed dst and return the destination directory. All intermediatedirectories needed to contain dst will also be created by default.


If ignore is given, it must be a callable that will receive as itsarguments the directory being visited by copytree(), and a list of itscontents, as returned by os.listdir(). Since copytree() iscalled recursively, the ignore callable will be called once for eachdirectory that is copied. The callable must return a sequence of directoryand file names relative to the current directory (i.e. a subset of the itemsin its second argument); these names will then be ignored in the copyprocess. ignore_patterns() can be used to create such a callable thatignores names based on glob-style patterns.


If copy_function is given, it must be a callable that will be used to copyeach file. It will be called with the source path and the destination pathas arguments. By default, copy2() is used, but any functionthat supports the same signature (like copy()) can be used.


If dirs_exist_ok is false (the default) and dst already exists, aFileExistsError is raised. If dirs_exist_ok is true, the copyingoperation will continue if it encounters existing directories, and fileswithin the dst tree will be overwritten by corresponding files from thesrc tree. 2ff7e9595c
