Is there a reason why I can't copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop

Before the last update, I was able to copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, and now I can't. Which really suck. Is there a new way I would have to do it?

I'm not privy to what impact the latest update my have had, but I believe Photoshop still has "its own" clipboard, and there may still be a tendency under certain conditions for it to become inaccessible from/to the rest of the system. Reboot everything and try again.

  • Can't copy and paste in illustrator

    For some reason, I can't copy and paste in Illustrator CC. Even choosing copy straight out of the edit menu doesn't work. Is anyone else having this problem? I tried closing out the program and reopening it, but it still doesn't work.

    I'm having the same problem, but I'm trying to copy between Illustrator and Photoshop. I've done all the usual fixes-trashed prefs in both AICC and PSCC, restarted the computer, even downloaded and installed the latest updates to both apps. Copy and paste works within AI and within PS, so it appears to be a problem with the clipboard, but only the clipboard as it serves those two apps. Copy and paste works fine for Pages, MS Word and everything else. What is a clipboard enhancement, and what does its presence or absence indicate? What would it be called? I'll check the Activity Monitor, see if I can find it, then zap the P-RAM. If that doesn't work I'll have to call CC help. Any ideas?

  • Why can't I copy and paste from Illustrator to Flash?

    I have this silly but frustrating problem. I've drawn a
    series of objects in Illustrator and have copied and pasted many of
    them into separate frames in Flash and all of a sudden they won't
    paste. There are 3 objects I'm trying to paste onto each frame and
    2 of them will paste, but 1 won't. I don't have anything locked and
    I have no clipping masks in Illustrator. They will copy and paste
    in Illustrator. I've tried copy and pasting them separately, I've
    tried opening a new Flash document and pasting, I've tried
    restarting my computer. Does this sound like just another freak
    thing or does anyone have any ideas? Is there some keyboard
    shortcut I might have bumped in Flash to change some hidden
    setting...? But then why is it just 1 of the 3 objects that won't
    paste?
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I think I tried all the options and none worked. Even so, the clipboard options say "Clipboard on Quit". That sounds like it has nothing to do with between active programs.
    I'm able to paste from CS5 TO CC though.

  • I can't copy and paste from Word to the Internet (Firefox or Chrome), but I can copy and paste from Internet to Word

    I suddenly can't copy and paste text from Word to the internet (Firefox or Chrome, email or other websites), but I can do the reverse. Any ideas? Copy and paste works between Word docs, and it works between internet sites (e.g., web page to email), just not from Word to the internet. Please help. I need to copy and paste my resume for an online job application.

    There are a range of different kinds of forms. For example, this site uses very simple controls that don't automatically convert Word's formatting to an online format. The site where you are trying to paste your resume probably works differently.
    What methods have you tried using to paste? Typically one of these will work:
    * Ctrl+v
    * right-click > Paste
    * Edit > Paste (from the menu)
    Some sites offer their own buttons to paste, but for security/privacy reasons, Firefox usually disables those.

  • How can i copy and paste from one spreadsheet to another?

    Trying to shuffle around the rows as part of an everchanging schedule.  When i copy and paste from one spreadsheet to the other, the images overlay each other as if i were litterally cutting them out of paper and then sloppily pasting to another. Is there a way to set them up so crosscutting is more seamless in appearance?

    JRC,
    The reason you get that result is that you are pasting the rows to the canvas of your second document instead of into an existing table.
    Instead, make a large blank table in your receiving document and paste into that table only after clicking on the cell where you want the first cell of the copied data to be positioned.

  • Can't Copy and Paste into Illustrator CS3 from Firefox 3!

    I read these things all the time, but first time posting, so you KNOW this problem is annoying me.
    I could always copy and paste from Firefox 2 into Illustrator CS2/CS3. However, once I upgraded to Firefox 3 I no longer can! I get the annoying "Quicktime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture." I can't believe more people aren't complaining more about this. Save your time posting about "Illustrator is a vector program, and Photoshop is pixel based," I know I have been able to do it before so that is not the issue. Any light that could be shed on the situation would be great! Thanks in advance.

    I found that FF3 originally renamed .jpegs to the JFIF format when draging and dropping to the desktop, and it was not until March when the code was finalized that that you could drag and drop to your desktop without the conversion. You get around the illustrator CS3 problem a number of ways...drap and drop to the desktop and then to illustrator CS3, Drap and drop to photoshop CS3 and then to Illustrator CS3 or save as to the desk top, or use an older version of Firefox. I am currently tyring to determine if the JFIF renaming issue is what is preventing the direct drag and drop to Illustrator, and if there is a fix for issue. Any help out there or ideas would be helpful.

  • Can't copy and paste from InDesign to Illustrator

    Recently changed computers and now I dont seem to be able to copy an object from InDesign and paste into Illustrator. This used to work fine. Any ideas? Thanks

    In my experience, copying and pasting from ID to Illustrator can be quite temperamental -- it often takes a couple of attempts to get it to work, for no apparent reason.
    But I don't recall ever being unable to do so, after a few tries.

  • Can't copy and paste from table to table

    Just upgraded all my clients to CS 6.5 and now no one can copy and paste from table to table.  It locks up every time.  I have already dumped the program preferences and still can't do it.  This is a HUGE problem with my users.  Any help would be appreciated.  I have a wild mix of users - Mac, Windows XP and Windows 7.  Please help if you can!

    Hi Lisa,
    Thank you for contacting Adobe Support.
    The only possible workaround is that you can select (n-1) cell from a particular row where n are the total number of cells in a particular row.
    Ex- If i have a row with 3 cells so i can only select 2 cells at a time and paste it to the location where i wanted to paste and then manually select the last cell and copy paste the content where required.
    Please let us know in case of any concern.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Can I Copy and Paste From One Project To Another?

    I have a scrolling title working very nicely in one project and wanted to "simply" copy and paste it into another project.  After doing the copy on project 1, when I get to project 2 to do the paste, there is nothing there to paste.  Is this something with Premiere Elements 12, or with my iMac for not keeping what I copied in the appropriate buffer?  I found something online that implied there was some software to do this but I can't believe that is the only solution. 
    I also created a "temporary" project for easier editing with pictures, transitions and sound added that I want to put into my "master" project.  I could create an avi and bring it over but I was hoping to have the finished project all in one source.  Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
    Rick

    Thanks for the info.  I'll keep that in mind if I ever want to do it again.  Unfortunately, I had already just re-done it in the master before I saw this.  Amazingly (to me, anyway), I couldn't even cut and paste the TEXT in the title to a Word doc just to save me from keying it in again.  (It was more than a title - it was like movie credits with names, songs, etc.)  I figured I could at least cut and paste the text.
    The bigger issue was I had done a "save as" of my main project, deleted all but the 55 pictures I had, then added transitions and music, burned it to a RW DVD so I could see how it looked, then figured if it looked good I would just copy and paste the info into my master.  Well I wound up redoing that as well once I figured out I couldn't do that.  In Pinnacle, whether it was a title or just the video track or audio or both it was a simple highlight of what I wanted, copy it, close that project, open another one, paste it in.  Done.
    I also had trouble editing today.  If I edited my pictures, maybe changed one or added one, it messed up my soundtrack.   In Pinnacle I would click a lock icon on the timeline and edit either the audio or video to my heart's content and not mess up the other track.  I could leave the audio in place but replace the video.  For my daughter's wedding, for example, I took video from 3 different cameras but used the audio from just one so it played smoothly but I could switch the video around for the best shots and it looked very good.
    Dare I ask how to lock just the audio or video track?  Don't spend a lot of time replying.  I already edited my music file by putting it way out in the timeline where there wasn't any video track.  Then I could split the audio clip, copy part of it, and paste it back in.  I needed the music to last a little longer while the pictures were displaying.  Then when I was done I moved it where I wanted, but even at that, I had to be careful because moving it sometimes messed up the video track if I didn't do it just right.
    The good news is I'm pretty much done with my video.

  • I can not copy and paste from My E-Bay adds. Please help

    Hi lori2616,
    Thank you for your question. It sounds like there might be an issue with the clipboard, but I do not know exactly what might be preventing this. Did you make any recent changes to the Firefox configuration?
    If not please consider a Firefox Refresh. [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
    The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
    '''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
    To Refresh Firefox:
    # Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    #*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
    #Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
    #Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
    Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • How can I copy and paste from Google "Keep"? Whenever i try, the copied text doesn't get copied on the Firefox clipboard, it copies to my 'default' clipboard.

    I can't get the Firefox clipboard to appear when i try to copy from Google Keep. Please help, thanks.

    Hi again LvScience:
    (jsoulless40's advice (thanks js40!) of trying the desktop site in Firefox when using the Keep web app is fine but i think you are using the Keep App right, not the web app version right?)
    Thanks for the device info: "Android OS is 4.1.2 on a Samsung Rugby Pro". I don't have that tablet but I do have two android samsung tablets running 4.x
    I should have asked before:
    '''What exact steps where you following when you copied and pasted into a "newly opened document"'''
    My steps were (on my Samsung Tab S 10 running 4.4.2):
    # in Firefox selected and then copied some text
    # switched to Google's Keep app
    # '''successfully pasted the text in Keep into the "Add quick note", also tapped on the new note icon and pasted the text into a new note'''

  • How can I 'COPY AND PASTE' from my mouse and not use EDIT, Fiefox 4

    when I try to copy and paste in Firefox 4, it only works from EDIT on toolbar. This limits where I can use info between tabs or other windows. When I highlight a phase or link using mouse it says 'ADD THIS ETC' copy or paste doesn't appear. I want to use mouse to COPY AND PASTE

    Hi joao,
    If you have your PDF open in Adobe Reader, it's easy to select the text and copy it. Just drag to select the text that you want to copy and then choose Copy from the Edit menu. If you can't select the text, it may be that your resume PDF was created from a scanned document.
    If I misunderstood your question, please let me know.
    Best,
    Sara
