Cannot copy and paste text into Photoshop CS6

I am not able to copy and paste text from non-Adobe programs (like Keynote or Word) into Photoshop CS6. I get an error message reading "Could not complete the Paste Text command because the clipboard data is empty or invalid." I have tried shutting down Photoshop, shutting down other programs, re-starting my computer, adjusting my Preferences and asking Adobe for help by phone and chat. I am on a new iMac and have no third party plug-ins installed. Can anyone help?

Yesterday i update Yosemite and Adobe Photoshop CS6
i found error text message like you everytime when i used fontAwesome on Adobe Photoshop CS6 and then i found out to fix this problems Yeahh…

-> Done

  • I can't copy and paste text into photoshop because the copy paste option is acting up

    Let me explain. I found some text on a website I wanted to us for my project so I copied it into a text box that I made in photoshop. I edited the text to my liking and then hilighted the entire text. When I go to copy the text by right clicking and then clicking on copy it just pastes the original text from the website I got it from instead of copying the edited text. I even tried ctrl+ C and it still pasted the original text not copy the one I edited. Last resort- I re-edited my text and go to edit and click copy. Still no fix it just pastes the original text. For some reason photoshop is thinking that the copy option is a paste option. I have no idea why this is or how to fix this. This was not happening about an hour ago so I have no idea why this is happening. I even tried restarting my laptop and I even tried a test in a completely new photoshop document and it still does this. How do I fix this? I have photoshop CS4 currently installed. Help is appreciated.

  • I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook.

    I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook. I opened Safari and tapped/held the text I wanted to copy, but nothing happened. I have tried everything, and I am getting frustrated.

    Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
    Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
    If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

  • How to copy and paste text into email without HTML gibberish

    I've had trouble for some time now copying and pasting text into and out of yahoo emails. I can't just copy and paste text, I have to first transfer to Word for Mac and then paste into a yahoo email. Then I end up with what looks like three lines of HTML gibberish at the start of the pasted text each time. Isn't there a clean and direct way of copy and paste of text into and from emails in yahoo? No other email I work with has this problem, and the Safari browser doesn't give this same issue
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == some recent Firefox update, I think

    I have to agree with bmalmquist.  Need for Speed seems to work great on the Playbook.  I didn't buy the Playbook to play games though.  RIM needs to shift their focus from games to useful and productive apps.  The apps I need to use are either missing very important features, or are just completely missing.  It is somewhat disconcerting to see new apps appear in App World only to discover that the new apps are mostly games.  I'm seeing lots of apps that would help me waste time, but very few that will actually help me be more productive.

  • When I copy and paste text into Captivate 8, special characters disappear

    I'm trying to copy and paste text from a PDF into Captivate 8. When I paste, all the accent marks disappear. (for example: ê shows up as e). I've tried pasting into other applications, and the special characters paste correctly, so it's a Captivate problem. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a quick fix?
    Thanks in advance!

    Upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and try

  • Preview - Cannot copy and paste text from pdf

    Hi there ...
    I usually have no problem copying and pasting text from a pdf using Preview ...
    However .. I recently received a pdf ... and there is no way it will highlight the text to copy ...
    The older pdf's are not affected ...
    I did a get info on the pdf ... it's not locked ... and it was made by Adobe In Design CS2
    I tried opening it with Adobe Reader 9 ...... but still no luck
    IN my search .. I noticed one other person had the same problem ... but he didn't get any responses..
    Thanks for any info ....

    If it's behind something else then you can open it in Illustrator and select the specific object you want. If it's rasterized then no.
    If this is a document you can share with the world then I'm sure we could tell you what specifically is going on if you posted it here.

  • Copy and Paste text into AEFX stopped working

    I have succeeded in copying and pasting two paragraphs of text from Word Pad into AEFX. (ie two layers). I applied Typewriter FX and adjusted parameters , exported etc all fine.
    Took a break and now I can not seem to get the Copy and Paste to work and I have another 8 layers to do.
    Not exactly sure what I have done or changed to stop this Cut and Paste method from working. (And I do not wish to hand type in the test if possible - Pharmaceutical Mandatories)
    Any ideas? Thanx.

    To reassure you: You don't need to do anything to trigger these issues. ;-) They happen regularly, yet under lab conditions there seems no clear way to nail them down... Most of the time restarting the system and starting with a clean slate gives back the functionality.

  • I am having a problem with copying and pasting text into the Safari search bar.

    For example, when I copy and paste "Organic Chemistry: A Short Course" it will change to Organic%20Chemistry:%20A%20Short%20Course"
    It will then tell me it has failed to open page, even though my interenet is otherwise working.
    How can I fix this?

    What you tried worked for me. Try "Organic Chemistry -  A Short Course"    It took me to the same search result as what you are trying.

  • Copy and Pasting Text in Photoshop

    Everytime I've tried pasting text from a Word document or website, all the words jumble on top of each other into one line. Why can't they separate into separate lines like they were originally formatted to look like?

  • Cannot copy and paste objects in my project... Captivate 6

    Hello,
    I actually wrote about this yesterday, but I would like to mention it again because it's a big problem.  I have a Adobe Captivate 6 project, and I cannot copy and paste text captions, buttons, smart shapes, etc.  Do any of the experts out there have any advice?  I could probably send you a video of the problem if you'd like...
    Thank you in advance!
    Ryan

    Solution :  I created a new project and copied and pasted the slides from the old project to the new project.  Copy and paste works as it should in the new project.
