7.0.2. / Copy and Paste Broken In Large .mp4

I have a large .mp4 movie file. I should be able to select a small portion of it, copy, and then paste into a new QT player. When I do, instead of that happening, it oddly pastes in text from the last webpage I was at. I know... ***?!?
Anyone have a clue to what may be up?
Thanks,
JDR

Open the file using QT Pro and view the movie properties. I suspect the file isn't MPEG-4 and instead is a MPEG (1 or 2) muxed track file.
QuickTime can't edit muxed track files. It can only export the video track.
I just tested copy/paste from a "true" .mp4 file on my Tiger machine using QT 7.0.2 Pro. Works fine.
Maybe a restart would fix it for you? Or a possibly corrupt .plist file (Finder) that is preventing the original "copy"?

Copy and Paste = Broken

Is copy and paste broken on all MACs or just mine?
Use case:
Right click a file. Click copy
Right click anywhere in an email, Click paste
It pastes a link to the file (i.e. the location of the file on the PC) - totally useless if you are sending an email
I checked some display MACs in various stores and they have the same fault
I raise it with Apple 5 months ago but it is still not fixed
Why did I waste my money on a MAC that don't work. Drives me mad.

PS; I do not want a work around. I want the product I bought to work correctly

Copy and paste broken in GoLive CS since Snow Leopard

Hi all,
Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, there has been weirdness happening within GoLive CS in terms of the copy and past function. It took me a while to sort out just what was happening, but here's the gist: if you paste text anywhere in GL - a link into the link palette, code or text onto a page - by first selecting other text to replace, then attempting to paste over it with what's on the clipboard - the oddest thing happens. There is no visible change to the highlighted text, but it - and not the text on your clipboard - is now "copied". The text that was on the clipboard is now replaced by the highlighted text you wanted to replace. Argh!
The only solution is to always delete old text before pasting - never to attempt to "paste over".
As I say, I noticed this only since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Since then, I've simply adjusted to the situation since it doesn't happen anywhere else and I'm not going to upgrade my Adobe suite in the foreseeable future - it meets my needs in every other respect.
But I'm surprised to not find any mention of it in the forums here, especially after all this time. Assuming it's to do with some interaction between GL CS and SL, I'd have thought there would be a patch or something by now.
Anyone else experience this problem?

Adobe is not going to release any patch for a discontinued program, especially one as old as CS. There were two releases since that one.
Snow Leopard has incompatibilities with many programs (not just GoLive) that ran well in previous systems. You might find less surprises by running your previous OS.

Copy and Paste is still broken in iOS 8.1!!

This is really ******* me off. I know there were a lot of fundamental changes to iOS 8, so I can cut Apple some slack, but this is ridiculous! It's so frustrating to copy and then paste and get OLD copy results. It's worst when dealing with long complex passwords from LastPass (which can now integrate into Safari, but not other apps). Fix this Apple!!

We are not Apple employees. We are just other users like you are. I have no problem with copy and past in iOS 8.1, but there have been other discussions about this problem. You should look for one of those discussions for a fix, or report this as a bug to Apple.
Here is one discussion.

Copy and paste of images still broken?

I use Firefox 14 and Windows XP, and I can't copy and paste images from the web into, say, a Word document. I used to do this all the time for knitting patterns, and it's very frustrating to have lost this function. I see from the knowledge database that this problem existed since version 11 or 12. Is there a solution somewhere?
Or, can someone help me download an earlier version? All I can find are release notes.
Thank you.

Hello, maybe if you install the newest version of Firefox will fix this problem, here is the link for Firefox 15 http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Also if you think that an earlier version will work for you you can find them here but i dont recommend it.

Has copy and paste been broken in the latest iOS in Numbers

Just tried copying and pasting in the latest version of Numbers on a V3 iPad. The only time I could get it to work, was by copying into the same table. And then only once. I've been using this for months, but not since the latest update. Anyone else have this problem?

Have you seen this thread over in the iWork for iOS discussions:

Preserving styles when copying and pasting?

Howdy folks...still running CS3 on my system here...but just wanted to know what your take was...
In the magazine I work for, we've previously been generating PDFs for press one at a time (ie: take a 4 page InDesign file and generate 4 1-page PDFs), but we now have the system of just exporting entire files in bulk (4 page document, 1 4-page PDF). Since some of these articles are broken up by full page ads, I've also been inserting the ads into the pages.
Most of the time, the client sends us press ready PDFs, but occasionally they send us entire layouts with text that is not outlined. The problem is that is if I'm copying and pasting an entire layout from one document to another, there will be a conflict with styles, causing text to change.
Apart from converting all the fonts to outlines, is there a way to preserve the original styles on the document that I'm inserting?

Thanks...I tried placing the InDesign file and it seemed to work at first, but it introduced a whole load of potential problems when output to hi-res PDF such as slicing up rasterized images and rearranging them (there was transparency involved), but in the end, the safest option will have to be to output the indesign file to high-res PDF first.
But I still have the concern of doing the whole copy-of-a-copy thing (ie: the more steps you add to the workflow, the greater the loss of quality), which is why I was hoping leave working files as untouched as possible before output. Is this something I should look out for?

Copy and paste not working in Mail app on my iPod Touch 32GB

I have an iPod Touch and cannot copy or paste anything in the Mail application. I have no problem copying or pasting in other applications. Unfortunately, being able to copy and paste into/from Mail is probably one of the most important things that I need to do on my Touch.
I don't know if this means anything, but I do notice that the tiny progress indicator, just to the right of the WiFi indicator on the top left of the screen, never stops spinning when I'm in Mail.
I have a 32GB 3rd-generation Touch which is not jail broken, if that even makes sense for a non-iPhone (I've seen this problem mentioned regarding jail broken iPhones).
By the way, I can SELECT text (or position the cursor) with the magnifying glass, no probem. It just never pops up the copy/paste bubble thingy.
Thank you for any advice. This is a real bummer in what otherwise has been a downright ethereal experience with my new Touch.
(I don't know what ethereal means either, but you get my drift.)

Genius I'm certainly not but I'm glad it worked.
FYI, a Reset is a common troubleshooting step for may iPod/iPhone software issues. I generally Reset my iPhone once/week or so, whether I think it needs it or not.
Welcome to the forums.

Cannot copy and paste a table

The Thunderbird text editor does not consistently allow copying and paste a table from Word. More generally, its text editor is full of bugs and anomalies, such as arbitrarily setting text to a different font.

As recently as December 30, 2013, I was able to copy LibreOffice calc data and paste it w/o problems into Tbird messages. Formatting, merged cells, all came across perfectly. I've been doing this for a long time (over a year at the least) without problems.
Now when I copy and try pasting nothing at all happens ... as in literally nothing changes in the email.
It's really frustrating when something this basic gets broken. If you know what version I'd have to revert to until it's fixed (and where to get the download), that would be great.
Don't know if it helps having the following, but just in case:
* Win 7 Pro 64-bit SP1
* Tbird 24.3.0
* LibreOffice 4.2.0.4

ITUNES COPY AND PASTE ARTWORK PROBLEM

Ive had a problem ever since I downloaded the newest itunes update and want to see if anyone else is having this issue. I hope I can explain this accurately.
When you have the album artwork displayed on the bottom left hand of the itunes screen. I used to be able to double click on the artwork and copy that album cover art and paste it onto another track. Ever since Ive updated itunes a couple weeks ago, the double clicking is no longer working. When I doubleclick, it just doesnt work and doesnt give me the option to cut or copy anymore. So now I have no ability to cut/copy and paste artwork from one album to another. I used to always do t his routinely without a problem. Is anyone else having this issue or have an idea what is going on? Did a setting accidentally change?
Im talking about the album artwork on the bottom left of the screen. Double clicking it no longer works- doesnt give me any options. (The music is not purchased from itunes so I often manually update the artwork)

Copy from the artwork panel (and image selection between multiple artwork) is broken on this build. You can still copy art from the artwork tab in Get Info.

There is about a 5-second stall when I right click to copy and paste.

Hi!
I have been having several issues with Firefox since I installed it two weeks ago.
First, there is about a 5-second stall when I right-click to copy and past something. I work off of this computer so speed is paramount. I do not have this issue with Explorer, Chrome, or and offline programs.
Second, when I send emails from my Gmail account, I will send links or imbed pics in the email. When that happens, the first link or pic will show up, and the rest are broken links or code. This does not happen on other computers or web browsers.
Lastly, I have the flash player crashing quite often (multiple times a day).
What steps should I take to remedy these issues? I really like this browser and the add-ons, though speed is what runs my business so I may have to switch to Chrome if I cannot fix these problems. I can be contacted at 314.324.1245 if it would be best to walk me through these issues. Thank you! -Andy

I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.

Copy and Past Nested Sequence loses link to Master

Has anyone else noticed this problem? I've got a nested sequence that I'm cutting and editing around and most of the time everything is fine. If I doubleclick the nested sequence in my main sequence, it opens the nested one and if I then double click the nested sequence in my Browser, it goes to that same sequence. Changed in one will show up in the other.
BUT, if I copy and paste the nested sequence in my main sequence, the new pasted version will open a NEW sequence that isnt linked to the Master in my Browser. So now, changes in the new nested sequence or the Master dont show up in the other one.
Is this just me thats having this problem?

I can see where you are coming from, and where the engineers at Apple were coming from, but I strongly disagree with this behavior. In my opinion, if you want to have a separate copy of a sequence, you should make a copy in your bin and bring that in. That way your new sequence HAS a master sequence and you can CHANGE the name, both of which help to avoid confusion.
So, maybe you're right and most people prefer it the way that it is, but let me explain the workflow I'm using and you'll see why this is so absolutely frustrating to me.
I'm editing a documentary in Chinese and as I dont speak Chinese, I've had it all translated, and added subtitles to the interview footage so I can edit it. And to make absolutely sure that the subtitles and footage stay in sync (since I wouldnt know it if they werent) I've put all the footage into separate sequences and I'm editing those sequences as if they are raw footage.
And due to this, I'm throwing sequences around every which way while I try to create my story. And sometimes that means copying a series of edits into a new timeline to work on separately from the larger project. And as I see it, there is NO WAY to do that currently and keep the sequences linked to the masters, other than pulling up each master sequence into the Viewer, changing the in and out points to match the clip I want and Inserting it into a new timeline. And when you want to copy over a segment that has perhaps 20 edited bits, thats WAY too much trouble.
So I'll admit that I'm editing in a somewhat abnormal way due to my subtitles, but as there is no way to copy and paste sequences and keep the link to the Master, I think the behavior is broken.
Oh, and the "Tools->Create Master Clips" command, which is supposed to relink clips to their masters if there are any in the Browser, doesnt work for Nested Sequences.

AI CS4 - Copy and paste crashes application

Yet another crash because I copied and pasted a few lines of text. And more time from my day wasted redoing work because AI CS4 is a mess.
CS3 was more stable and faster. CS4 would appear to be a disapointing grab for profits. As premature as it is slow and broken.

Thank you for the suggestion.
The text is coming from another text field in the same AI CS4 file. Unfortunately, it's not the first time this has happened although I can't explain why it occurs sometimes and not others. Nothing odd about the text at all. No funny characters. Lorem Ipsum. *Shrug*
I tried pasting it into text wrangler to clear out any junk and had the same problem when I attempted to copy it back. I think the recieving text box was somehow currupt if that is possible. I ended up converting the other text field to suite my purposes.

Hi, I was trying to copy and paste a lot of info for one day on my calendar to another day and an error message popped up saying that the system responded with an error. Msg won't go away I force quit ical

Need help for trying to unfreeze a message on my ical. I was trying to copy and paste some appointment info from one day to another on my ical and a message popped up saying the system responded with an error. All of my info was below the message. I can't get that message to go away or work on the ical now at all. I try to force quit ical and have shut down the computer and it still comes up. Any suggestions?

K,
Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that Library folder, if you are using Lion, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart.
Next, make sure that you are not connected to the internet. Then to to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Use the same method as listed above to get to the correct Library Folder. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal for functionality.

HT201269 itunes cannot see my iphone backup. I have a backup of the backup on an external HD, but even tech support cannot figure this one out. I copy and paste backups into the correct folder but itunes still does not see it. All I need are my contact

Sorry for short novel I am writing. I just wanted to cover as much backround as possible.
So, here it goes. I backed up my iphone 4 after renting a movie. The movie only played the starting credits before I was called on for daddy duty. A few days later the movie would not play, so I restored my phone from my backup. The movie would still would not play so itunes support refunded my purchase and ended my viewing privileges for that rental after verifying that I had not viewed the movie. I then had a problem with my contacts showing up twice in the contacts list after the restore. So I attempted another restore. All was well at this point. I then started having trouble with my pc and decided to copy the internal drive to an external source. A week later I had a system failure and did a factory restore on my computer. I re-installed itunes and tried to copy and paste the old backup into the new itunes. Now itunes just flat out does not see the backup file (I failed to mention that I did a factory reset on the iphone after the last backup, hopping to start fresh). Tech support had me uninstall and re-install itunes and then copy and paste the old backup into the newly installed itunes with no luck. The files are all there, but itunes just doesn't see them (itunes says the device has not been backed up to the cloud or to the local machine). We then tried backing up the factory restored iphone and replacing that restore file with one of my old backups on the external drive. Ok, this is where it gets weird. We replaced the guts of the folder but left the folder itself so itunes would continue to recognize the new backup folder with the old files. Whoohoo, itunes now see's a backup folder full of old files, or so we thought. The new files were deleted using shift delete so they would be gone for good and not mix with any files or folders. When I restore my phone, it restores the files that were deleted from the restore file (pause here for a moment and imagine the stupid look on the face of tech support and I while we silently wonder how files that were permanently deleted were restored). This left tech support and I both scratching our heads. My service issue was escalated to the next level. I waited for the phone call the next day that was scheduled at 10am to my wife's phone, but the call never came through. As usual, apple disappoints again. I just bought an iphone 5s and still have the iphone 4, and am looking for a solution to retrieve my contacts and restore to the 4 or 5s. I am guessing that files in other folders must be associated with the iphone backup in order for itunes to retrieve the files. Any ideas or support in retrieving my contacts would be greatly appreciated.
