Pasting text from other apps not always work

Is this a known problem or any way to avoid it? I usually receive emails with copy of text that was already checked for spelling errors, and when I try to copy the text from the email to AE and paste it into the text tool, it does not work 90% of the time, and if it works, it works only once, the next time I copy paste something it keeps always pasting the same old text. I noticed this on all the computers where I have AE installed.
Thanks
Victor

Just a quick update.
This problem has resurfaced AE CS6 (mac OS 10.8.x) this time.
The copy/paste into the search bar doesn't seem to work anymore.
I sent Aobde a note via their Bug/reports page - - (I'd suggest everyone do that.)
So far, my only working solution is to quit/restart AE. --
A shame for any 21st century software not to copy/paste formatted, or unformatted text.
(BTW - the copy/paste text from within AE comps/layers works fine, just not clipboard content from outside .  .  . I'm going to poke around at a few likely culprits and attempt to troubleshoot a solution for my needs, but I can say it's a different problem than my Oct. 2010 post above.)
Cheers

  • I can't paste text from other programs

    What happens when you try? Any error message?

  • Cannot paste text from other application into a signed applet in JRE1.4.1

    I have a signed applet. I just upgrade the JRE from 1.4.0 to JRE 1.4.1 (applet has been recompiled with JDK1.4.1). Then I tried to copy-paste text into a JTextArea from another application like Notepad. It doesn�t work. I can only copy-paste text from the applet itself. But this does work when I use JRE 1.40, 1.3.x.
    Thank you for any help.

    Thank you, Viravan.

    The link is a test applet. It has two JTextFields and a JButton. You can copy-paste text between the two JTextFields with Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. But you cannot copy-paste text between the applet and other application such as Notepad, MS Word. It seems that the applet don?t have enough permissions. But it does be signed. I also put a button on the applet and you can use it to browse your local files. That indicates the applet signed well. Fail to copy-paste between signed applet and other application only happen when using JRE 1.4.1. If you use JRE 1.4.0 or 1.3, it works fine.
    The following if the test applet code:
    package test;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.applet.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class PasteTest extends JApplet {
    boolean isStandalone = false;
    JTextField txt1 = new JTextField();
    JTextField txt2 = new JTextField();
    JButton btnOpen = new JButton();

  • Illustrator CS6 clipboard doesn't paste text from other programs, stays 'frozen.'

    Lion Mac Tryout version: After using Illustrator CS6 copy and paste a couple times (just after you start it up), I cannot change the clipboard.
    I cannot paste common text in from anywhere. It just pastes again the text from the last time the clipboard worked. I have to restart Illustrator CS6 to get a couple more correct clipboard uses before it repeats the same paste over and over despite what I just copied externally.
    I'm having to still use Illustrator CS5.5 because of this. And wonder if updating to the Cloud version will turn off my access to Illustrator CS5.5. Help!
    I think I won't be able to upgrade for real if this keeps happening.

    I refuse to debate with anyone in literally lives in an online forum and has amassed >8,900 posts to their name (expecially at a pace of 8 posts per day, 365 days a year). Nevertheless, I stand by my previous two posts.  It still can be a bug even though some experienced bug-reporting techno-masters have not seen it.  And the fact remains the bug goes away for a while when you relaunch Illustrator.  The problem is that it comes back at some point and none of us like the idea of perpetually relaunching Illustrator while we are working on a project in Illustrator.  Furthermore, the fact some of us are seeing this bug doesn't mean there's a hidden/forgotten clipboard manager on our computers either.  Some of us are also certainly no novices to Illustrator and we know of past bugs -- bugs which did not affect everyone (like the bug in Illustrator CS5 that would cause the application to crash/quit when you try to copy large graphics within Illustrator itself).  It is also important to consider that Illustrator users are most often Creative Pros, not Techno-Wizards. As such they would prefer to be spared the lectures when it comes to proper protocol on bug reporting to Adobe.  Posting in forums like this one is not in vain.  And although proper bug reporting is important, to think Adobe (or the online media) is oblivious to forum posts is naive in the extreme.
    For now, you can get around Illustrator CS6 Paste bug by drag-and-drop.  Works for graphics but in most cases you can't always do that with text.  But at least it is a semi-convient copy/paste-like way to move content from another app into Illustrator CS6.
    I would like to add that I can COPY text or graphics within Illustrator CS6 and then Paste them in an external app just fine.  The bug in CS6 seems exclusive to Copying something outside Illustrator and then PASTING it into Illustrator.  So for those of you filing bug reports on this, you may wish to confirm that point and then file it as a "Can't PASTE content copied from external apps" bug.
    Lastly, I'd like to point out that this thread is currently the lone place on the net that Illustrator CS6 users can Google-up any info about this Paste bug.  Unsurprisingly, CS6 is so new not many people have discovered the bug yet.  Even so, I have little doubt that as time goes on more and more will find this thread and seek some kind of relief, hoping to hear word about an Adobe acknowledgement the bug exists (which implies they are working on a fix).  Filing a bug report is the right thing to do, no question.  But I would like to encourage those of you who don't have this problem to please refrain from writing with a condenscening attitude when replying to people who have been bitten by this bug.  Adobe is a big company and they don't need the help of individual guru users to defend them.  Some people who experience bugs vent their distress in different ways. Sometimes it's best to just "listen" rather than brow-beat.  I try to do that myself in cases where someone reports a bug that I myself have not seen.  I feel their pain.
    Best wishes to one and all.

  • When I cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I get an error stating 'Out of memory, close applicantions and restart windows'. This does not work. When I had IE I never had this issue. Help!

    When I try to cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I receive an error that says 'Not enough memory, close applications and restart windows'. This never works! I never had this issue with IE! How can I fix this issue?

    If the crashing only happens with other peoples projects it could be for a variety of reasons. There are tons of asset references saved in the library (the location every item was imported from) and much more. None of those locations will exist on your system and internal complications may simply happen, especially with any runtime shared assets.
    If possible you should consider adding more system RAM so you can multi-task. RAM is extremely cheap. I'm assuming from a smaller 500GB HD and 4GB RAM that you're probably on a laptop however. Installing RAM is still usually pretty easy if you have the notebook manual (or grab it online). It typically involves just lifting the keyboard or opening a single panel on the bottom of the notebook but it varies greatly. At any rate, 8GB RAM would help you quite a bit. If you do, just make sure you get the correct type of RAM (again, in the specs in your manual).
    Even when you run out of physical RAM, Flash (like any other application) will still see more RAM based on the OS's swap memory setting (using available space on your HD as RAM). It will get much slower but Flash should see the total amount the 32bit OS can handle for RAM (it doesn't know if it's physical fast RAM or SWAP (fake) HD RAM though). If you open other apps with Flash they should also operate, but will also use swap RAM and you've probably noticed your HD crunching a lot while more apps are open.
    That said, I have a 4GB RAM in my older i7 lappie and have used Flash CS5.5 and CS6 on it extensively, with other applications open. Although my projects contain mild assets and mostly tons of code. No issues at all. I just think your heavy assets are crashing you.
    Either way, glad you got your work done. You're welcome and good luck!

  • Outlook 2010 paste from other programs not working.

    Hi,
    Win 7 SP1 x86 w latest patches. Win lang. ENG
    Outlook 2010 SP1 x86 w latest patches. Office lang. ENG
    Regional (date/time and so on) settings EE (Estonia)
    I have about 6 users with same conditions.
    When I'm trying to copy - paste from other programs like IE9, Word, Excel I'm unable to paste into Outlook message body.
    It just wont paste.
    Typically, Outlook shows me "thniking circle" for a millisecond or rarely just hangs.
    There are some exceptions:
    1. I'm able to paste into To: field
    2. I'm able to paste into Subject: field
    3. I'm able to paste even into body if I copied text from Notepad.
    4. I'm able to paste into body when I copied text from another email.
    Additional information:
    Outlook default message format "Plain text" (Rich text, HTML - does'nt matter)
    What I'v tried so far and results:
    1. Repair Office installation trough "Programs and features" - NO LUCK
    2. Changed default paste behaviour from other programs to "keep text only" - NO LUCK
    3. Used SAFE MODE - this helps, paste SEEMS WORKING correctly. Based on my knowledge, SAFE mode mainly disables Add-ins. OK.
    Disabled all Add-ins in normal mode so Outlook shows that "No Active Application Add-Ins" - NO LUCK
    So, I'm out of ideas. I think that this problem starts after installing Office 2010 SP1
    I don't want to uninstall SP1 because for me it's not a solution (SP1 won't dissapear from the list of updates), ok.. agree, it may be
    temporary solution but at the end of the day, there must be something else.
    Any ideas?

    Rename normailemail.dotm to .old when Outlook is closed and see if it works now.
    You can find the file here;

  • Can I not add images to my itunes from Google images or other search engines as when I click get artwork it does not always work

    Can I not add images to my itunes from Google images or other search engines as when I click get artwork it does not always work. I used to be able to do this.

    The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
    It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

  • Copy-Paste From Other Apps (like PPT 2004) Into CS5 Broken ? -  OS 10.6.3

    Hi,
    New Mac, so to avoid problems went for the new post-Snow Leopard Photoshop CS5. Oops.
    Copy-Paste From Other Apps Into CS5
    Pasting images/photos from Powerpoint 2004 to CS5, I experienced the exact problem posted slightly off topic by james norrington in the thread "CS5 does not let me copy & paste file names."  It was not answered and is quoted here:
    ---"I am using CS5 Photoshop and Office 2004 on 10.6.3. I was using 10.4 until a few weeks ago and it worked and still works with other macs in the office using CS4. I can copy and paste from powerpoint but it cuts the pictures in half and does not know what the res. of the image is. Also when I go from photoshop to powerpoint the image res. is also not preserved."---
    Besides that, I also found copy-paste from a digital camera photo.jpg from Preview to CS5 doesn't respect the resolution either. Directly opening the photo into PS CS5, fine.
    From the earliest PS, always was able to copy any image to clipboard, have a new document dialog box come up pre-filled with correct original WxH pixels, original resolution, color mode, etc., and just paste into the new document - perfect fit (even the oddball PPT 576 ppi). Now a shift and cut-off.  Don't have PPT 2008 to test pasting from there.
    I have also found that a similar but less severe image cut off happens when copy-paste from PPT -> Preview, or -> TextEdit, or ->  drag and drop picture clipping.
    Opening Image File in CS5
    Even an original 300 dpi tiff file wrongly went to 72 ppi etc. when opened directly into CS5. Converted the file to a jpeg in Preview - that jpeg file could be opened into CS5 correctly, reconverted the jpeg to TIFF in Preview, still opened OK (not counting loss of image quality). Still couldn't copy paste from either document into CS5 correctly. One difference I noticed in the converted files was that more information was available in the Preview file info. Maybe that made the difference in opening the file correctly.
    I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

    Thanks to Chris for the explanation of the dueling clipboards.
    It's still frustrating, but since I still have a CS2 license from the dead G4 the current Mac replaced, I can try that (wonder if they can coexist), or maybe I could use an older Mac for this particular situation.
    As for the .tif file, it was generated by a Mac OS 8.5 era image capture program that we are forced to use, and the analysis was that the app does not properly encode the TIFF tags to acceptable standards. Preview 5.0.2 just guessed right from the little information that was included - but it didn't work when tried with Preview 3.0.9 on an OS 10.4 Mac. So this was a unique situation.

  • Drag n Drop selected Text from Safari, chrome not working on indesign CC

    In CS6 If we drag drop any selected text from any app on layout it work but in indesign cc it is working only with some app like TextEdit, notes etc. I knew that very few people have such use case but same is also not working from one of my cocoa app.
    while  debugging if i drop content from TextEdit and Notes app on some sample app I found that TextEdit & Notes App registered for this Extra Pasteboard type "com.adobe.indesign-import-ustl" and "com.adobe.indesign-import-styl" where as chrome and safari are not. similarly my app is registered only for "NSPasteboardTypeString" type. Is this is the limitation or bug of indesign?

    Similar bug(#3710667) was exist in CC before 9.2.2 update as you can see in release notes of 9.2.2(CC last update) here. before fix simple selected text drag & drop did not work from any application except TextEdit .I have also spent hours before this update to find out bug I used ClipBoardViewer sample App to find out current Drop flavour and its content it may help you and before fix I find some workAround first is add flavour in your drop which Indesign understand even if you are not adding any data for that flavour so that you start receiving couldAcceptType() and under this call parse your actual data from PasteBoard and remove all data from pasteBoard so that another next helper will not consume it. as you mention even after adding text flavour your couldAcceptType() not hit so may be this WorkAround not work for you but it worked for me.
    second is just a finding  i.e before doing drag and drop on indesign create one new document (from Indesign UI not programmatically ) save it on disk close it and reopen it after it every drag & drop will start working work .

    i had the same problem but i just got a new video converter and made it convert videos to ipod/iphone format and then put them into itunes. i would suggest GOM encoder as the encoder can convert them and then once they're finished converting, put them automatically into your itunes for you. from there you can just sync them to your ipod.

    Just to say, it's a little bit annoying when everything else about Adobe Story is so lovely.

    Downloaded iOS7 on my 4S. Mostly went well, but sometimes screens lock up (especially text, but also Settings). Find I cannot access and send texts sometimes, plus do not receive some texts from others (group messages real problem). Any work around? And related problem: Getting told can not connect to network when trying to sign on with Apple ID to launch Facetime and Messages.

    I've restarted several times. If I restore from backup, unfortunately the backup was done after iOS7 downloaded. Now, am I wrong that "restore as new" will essentially wipe me out? If so, and having backup, you're saying essentially start over and then backup?

    I made my own Apple ID because when I was logged into my dad's my family was receiving my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dad's "find my iphone" app but without signing into his Apple ID on my phone because that was causing them to get my texts. I was told by Apple I could add my device to his by signing into icloud.com but there is no option that I can find to add my device. And I don't want to log back in to his.. Any ideas???

    Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?
