Mac / CS6 copy-paste text error

I´m trying to copy-paste text from mail or text edit to Photoshop CS6. PS says cannot paste text, clipboard is empty or text is corrupted. Using Mac Book Pro.

Hello -
Make sure you are updated to the latest version of CS6. And try resetting your preferences:

  • Is there a way to copy/paste text in Photoshop without keeping formatting?

    Hello,
    Is there a way to copy/paste text in Photoshop without keeping formatting (font, size, color, etc)?
    I found this feature very annoying.
    Is there a way to turn it off?
    Thanks.

    You can use this simple workariound:
    copy the desired text  and paste it in a simple text editor app like notepad (win) or textedit (mac).
    Then copy this unformatted text and paste it in photohop.

  • Copy/Paste text between Photoshop & illustrator CC not keeping formatting

    Hi, before when I copied text over from photoshop to illustrator it kept the text formatting. For example the font, font size, color.
    Now when I use CC and copy paste text from PS to AI, all text formatting is lost and everything is placed as whatever the current AI text setting is.
    HOWEVER, pasting from AI to PS WORKS as it should. All font/text formatting is maintained.
    Is this a bug or is there a setting for this that I just never knew about?

    Now when I use CC and copy paste text from PS to AI, all text formatting is lost
    Seems to work for me on Photoshop 14.0 and Mac OS 10.8.4.

  • Unable to copy/paste text or HTML to DW

    Hi everyone!
    I'm new to this but maybe someone can help. I can't copy/paste text or HTML to Dreamweaver. I get two different error messages when trying to do so. I am attaching screen prints of them. Has anyone had this problem?

    There are a number of reasons why JavaScript errors could be
    occurring. Adobe covers some of these errors on this page:

  • How can I copy/paste text from one page to another?

    I feel like I am taking crazy pills... is there really no way to copy a text box (or group) from one page to another while creating books in Aperture 3?  Lets say I have my entire book laid out and I want to add one paragraph at the end on one page which will push text and photos down a half page or so... in most programs for the last decade or so they added really cool functionality... cut/paste...  It seems like the apple developers are aware of it because they are in the context menus but they don't work on text, only photo boxes.  Additionally, you can copy/paste text but it erases all formatting.
    Seriously, am I missing something?  I have trouble believing that they can't include this function.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    Update... it seems to only happen with text boxes which I create.  So when I try an existing theme I can cut/copy/paste just fine, but in that same theme if you edit the layout and add a new text box, I can't copy paste it anywhere... the options are in the menu but nothing happens.
    Thoughts? Solutions?
    I am running 3.4.3 on a MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.3

  • How to copy/paste texts/images from webpages in iBooks Author?

    Hi,
    I want to copy/paste text/image contents from webpages with iBooks Author, somehow images can't be copied, only texts can be copied with copy/paste editing. Wonder if there are any ways to include images with simple copy/paste?
    Tried to search iBooks Author help, could not find answers. Please help.
    Thanks

    Perhaps the people who spent a lot of time and money to produce the websites.....and who own copyright ...don't want anybody using their work without payment or credits. Have you contacted the websites owners to ask permission? 
    IF any person(s)  use anything from websites without permission apart from being to lazy to email to request permission....could face a legal action if and when the sites owners fins out. 
    There is another her misconception that "free" websites and content on "social media" such as the dreaded FaceBook....can be used without consequence. Almost all "free" websites are common licence material - which requires permission and those who give permission do so only for personal or none profit reproduction.
    i Use a blocking script on my websites which apart from preventing a right click...those who try are whisked off  my website to the the UK copyright website page which explains my rights! 
    You may wish to check out your iBooks contract with Apple and read their warnings on use of others copyright material. 
    You could ..and should contact the websites...explain what you want to use and why....and ask them if they can supply media.

  • Keyboard Works OK - But what happened to Copy/Paste Text?

    Ability to Copy/Paste Text is a MUST if you want to search the Internet...

    It's a must if you want to be able to maintain lists on your phone and freely/easily re-org them at will.
    Unless they gave us a drag-able checklist like Apple's insanely great Notes & collapsible checklist/outliner feature from the Newton (see <<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Newton#Notes">this>) then I'd be happy.
    We presume someday you'll be able to request stuff like this for iPhone via

  • When I copy/paste text to an ipages empty document can does it only show the first page of what I copied?

    When I copy/paste text to an ipages empty document can does it only show the first page of what I copied?

    You want to use word processing mode. I suggest you ask your question in the Pages forum and include information about what you are copying. Off the top of my head I can't come up with any reason you'd see this in WP mode.   https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages

  • RoboHelp Crashes when I Copy & Paste Text then Amend the Pasted Text

    I am copying text from one RoboHelp topic then pasting it into another RoboHelp topic (within the same project). If I then try to make a change to the pasted text RoboHelp crashes. This happens every single time so at least it is consistant!
    Any suggestions/solutions?

    Bit weird but it seems to be playing ball now!
    I copy/pasted text in the HTML editor and it works fine. Went back to the Wisiwig editor and tried it again, and it didn't crash.
    Really weird, I must have consistently crashed the sytem over 20 times this morning, so no idea why it chooses to work now!
    Thanks anyway, if it happens again I will reinstall RoboHelp and see if that is a long term cure.
    Cheers,
    Nicola

  • Copy paste text between documents bug

    Hi
    When I copy paste styled text (text or text containers) between CS6 (or CC) documents, the language for the text changes to a wrong one (from Finnish to English: British), along with the spelling of course. The style does follow correctly to the fresh new document, but ID makes an exception to the style for this pasted text (Style1+). The transferred style itself still has the correct language defined.
    Doesn't happen when copy pasting within the same document.
    All default languages are correct (default and within styles). Deleting preferences did nothing.
    Anyone else has this? Any suggestions on how to correct this. I seem to remember there was something like this ages ago too.

    Thanks Uwe
    • New user: no help.
    • Save as or IDML: no change, same problem.
    • Snippet: language does remain correctly Finnish!
    • ID5.5: no problem at all! Language remains correct.
    So, this is my persistent problem:
    • Any text with a style on it becomes (as a local exception to style) wrong language when copy-pasted or dragged as a whole page between docs.
    • The styles them selves transfer correct. Clicking style for each paragraph again sets the correct language (but the original local adjustments are lost).
    • No style has [Basic Paragraph] as a parent and [Basic Paragraph]'s and the general default language are Finnish, too. The wrong language (English: British) is not used anywhere.
    • Text with no style remains correctly Finnish (target default).
    • IDML: same problem. Save As: same problem.
    • IDMS: language remains correct.
    • Trashing preferences doesn't help.
    • New user account doesn't help.
    • Effected versions: ID CC (9.1 fi), ID CS6 (8.0.2 fi). CS5.5 (7.5.1 en) is not effected. System is Mac 10.8.5 (fi).
    • CC has no extra plugins. CS6 and CS5.5 have Suitcase (F4) plugin only as extra.

  • I can't copy/paste text in itunes?

    I use Windows 7, and the latest itunes. I dont have any addons or anything either.
    So, for some reason I can't use the copy/paste function in itunes. I listen to foreign music and when I want to copy the names of songs or artists and paste them into the little boxes in itunes, I can't. It just comes up as a plain, empty box with no text. I can't copy from chrome to itunes, or from itunes text to other itunes text boxes (artist, album, search, etc). This started yesterday and I thought uninstalling itunes and reinstalling would work, but it hasn't changed a thing!
    Thanks to anybody that can help

    You actually have a few choices, simplest is to format the drive as MSDOS (FAT), both Windows & your Mac will be able to read and write. You will be limited to a 4G maximum for individual files however. Formatting as ExFat removes the size limitation but is less compatible with Windows (XP installs may need updating)
    You can also install software on your Mac to allow it to read/write to an NTFS drive (which is what yours is now), I recommend Tuxera.

  • HT1216 copy-pasting text in Unix

    Hello.  I am trying to do shift-insert to paste text from clip board.  Since insert can be emulated using fn-return on a mac keyboard, I do shift-fn-return.  But nothing happens.  I'm doing this in a VNC session.  Any ideas?  Is my problem that the shift-fn-return is not going through VNC?  Or am I just using the wrong key combinations? TIA.

    This is kinda funny because I had a post about the same issue last week(not being able to copy\paste) and apple forums took my post down. I am not sure if they were upset because we are all complaining about not having this feature...but it seems like a necessity they might have forgotten.
    However, I did request (on their feedback site) that this feature be included in the next update...which is what I recommend you doing too!

  • Captivate 7 Widget Copy/Pasting Text Creates Double Text

    I'm using Captivate 7 on a Mac OS X.9 machine and every time we use a Insert>Interaction and have to paste text from either a Word doc or plain text document the text double pastes into the Interaction Widget. This causes issues because its difficult to edit text in the small widget area. Also, once pasted the Widget removes all the paragraph spacing.

    We understand not to copy text from Word which is why we copy it from Word, paste it into a plain text document to remove all formatting, then paste it into the Interaction. It still pastes in double. This has happened in the following types and it is only a MAC issue. We can replicate it on two Macs in the office but not on any Windows machines.
    We do use Full Screen but its still small and I have a very large screen.
    Accordian, Tabs, Process Circle, Timeline, Circle Matrix, Pyramid (both), Glossary. These are the ones we have used/tested.

  • Copy/Paste Text from Word

    I've written a seminar on Word (Greek & English). I want
    this text on Director.
    When I copy the Word text and paste it on Director (on a text
    field) it changes the fonts.
    The problem is that, although I change the fonts on the whole
    text (to "Times New Roman Greek"), the english words sometimes look
    strange. So, I have to mark every english word and change its fonts
    from "Times New Roman Greek" to Times New Roman. As you see, it's a
    very time-consuming process and very exhausting. Is there an easier
    way doing this?

    download and extract to your director xtras folder:
    http://xtrema.rtr.gr/beta/xtrema.zip
    Copy the text you want to translate to clipboard, and then,
    from your
    message window, try:
    _d().fromClip().toS(1253).toClip()
    then try pasting the text.
    1253 is the code page for greek.
    For mac code pages supported by windows (values you can pass
    to the toS()
    command), check the second link - for greek, it's 10006.
