Copy and Paste issues

my copy function is not copying! It seems that the copy buffer does not get filled with the copied objects. When pasted, it always pastes a blank space)
any ideas of where I can start troubleshooting?

Hello.
This sometimes works if the clipboard is malfunctioning.
In ~/Library/Preferences locate these two files and trash them
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
To re-establish them, immediately log out and log back in again.

Copy and paste issue

While trying to create a simple copy and paste function ( from one open document / image into another open document in Photoshop CS5 ) like:
PsApp.bringToFront();
PsApp.activeDocument.selection.selectAll();
PsApp.activeDocument.selection.copy();
PsApp.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
PsApp.activeDocument.paste();
//more code to work with the pasted image
I have noticed that many times it doesn't paste the image and the next code throws unexpected results, but if I run it in debug mode and place a breakpoint just after calling the function ( like forcing a pause) then it runs fine.
Tried also with scripting listener code, both in flex and Java with the same result; this also happens with a File - place script.
I tried to insert a loop at the end of the process checking if the number of layers have increased after the paste call, and they actually increase but the image is not pasted
For some reason it seems that the clipboard is not working as expected when the process is fast ¿?. Have also tried to clear the clipboard and to purge with no luck.
I have had similar issues with Java scripting before but they were solved using the listener code instead, but it doesn't works now. Other users have the same problem but haven't found a solution.
I'm using CS5 and Extension Builder 1.5.0.2 with Flash Builder 4.5.1

Copy the text, click on the Desktop, CMD+B, and see if it shows up there. If not, then delete the com.apple.finder.plist from your /Library/Preferences folder, OPTION-click & hold the Finder's Dock icon, and select RELAUNCH. That should fix the issue.

Indesign CS4 - copy and paste issue

Hello,
I just installed Indesign CS4 on a Mac 10.5.5 system and I am using Microsoft Word 2004 with the software.
The issue is when I copy and paste a graph or a clipart from Word 2004, I can paste the copied image in the INDD document. When I try to copy a second graph or image, Indesign will paste the original image.
I thought that clipboard may have been the issue and restarted the computer to empty the clipboard. Again, the same issue happens when I copied an image and the program somehow locks into that image.
Also, as soon as the graph/clipart is pasted in the indesign document, somehow, it becomes a link which should not be case if you are simply copying and pasting.
Here are some troubleshooting I tried:
- I trashed the preferences folder from the library folder
- created a new user account wiht admin priveleges
- restarted mac in safe boot
- created a new indesign document and a word document
Any thoughts?

I am attempting to place images which I am using within a mailer onto the web.
I am copying the images from InDesign into Photoshop and getting the same issues. If I close Indesign and re-open it I can copy 1 set of images, but when I attempt a second it places the images I copied originally into the shapes of the second images.
Any clues on how to solve this issue?

Intermittent copy and paste issues...

I've been running into problems with copying from MS Word (Office 2004) into Mail. What happens is I can copy and paste from word once, then after that, no matter how many times I try to copy and paste other selections from word, I can only re-paste the original selection.
Closing and restarting Mail doesn't seem to help, neither does closing and restarting word.
It seems that using Onyx to clear the cache helps, but the problem sometimes comes back... any ideas?

How are you copying/pasting? I have just tried to reproduce the problem, using menu items (Edit/Copy in Word, Edit/Paste in Mail) and couldn't. I copied 5 separate sections of text, all from the same document.

Excel 2013 - Copy and Paste Issue

if I select and
copy a cell that contains a formula that references cells all on the same work sheet and
paste that
cell in the same cell in the same work sheet in another work book, the pasted cell looks exactly like the copied cell.
For example, I copied cell V41 from the ‘Rating Summary’ work sheet in the ‘Analysis_Distr#3_QA#3.xls’ file and pasted it in cell V41 in the ‘Rating Summary’ work sheet in the ‘Analysis_Distr#3_QA#4.xls’ work book and obtained
the following results.
Copied Cell   "   =IF(AND(FLOOR(U41,1)<=T41,U41>0),FLOOR(U41,1),"N/A")
Pasted Cell   "   =IF(AND(FLOOR(U41,1)<=T41,U41>0),FLOOR(U41,1),"N/A")
The pasted cell is exactly the same as the copied cell.
But, if I select and
copy a cell that contains a formula that references cells on other work sheets in the same file and
paste that
cell in the same cell in the same work sheet in another work book, the pasted cell looks different than the copied because
the formula in the pasted cell references cells on other worksheets that are now preceded by links to the source work book.
For example, I copied cell X46 from the ‘Rating Summary’ work sheet in the ‘Analysis_Distr#3_QA#3.xls’ file and pasted it in cell X46 in the ‘Rating Summary’ work sheet in the ‘Analysis_Distr#3_QA#4.xls’ work book and obtained the
following results.
Copied Cell   "   =IF(AND(LEFT(J30,1)="D",'Safe Load Capacities'!H27="N/R"),"District Original
File OPR Ratings",IF(AND(LEFT(J30,1)="D",'Safe Load Capacities'!H27=1),"District Original File OPR Ratings",IF(AND(LEFT(J30,1)="D",OR('Safe Load Capacities'!H27=0.9,'Safe Load Capacities'!H27=0.8),'Safe Load Capacities'!H28="No"),"District
Original File OPR Ratings",IF(AND(LEFT(J30,1)="D",OR('Safe Load Capacities'!H27=0.9,'Safe Load Capacities'!H27=0.8),'Safe Load Capacities'!H28="Yes"),"District Original File SLC Ratings",""))))
Pasted Cell   "   =IF(AND(LEFT(J30,1)="D",'[Analysis_Distr#3_QA#3.xls]Safe Load Capacities'!H27="N/R"),"District
Original File OPR Ratings",IF(AND(LEFT(J30,1)="D",'[Analysis_Distr#3_QA#3.xls]Safe Load Capacities'!H27=1),"District Original File OPR Ratings",IF(AND(LEFT(J30,1)="D",OR('[Analysis_Distr#3_QA#3.xls]Safe Load Capacities'!H27=0.9,'[Analysis_Distr#3_QA#3.xls]Safe
Load Capacities'!H27=0.8),'[Analysis_Distr#3_QA#3.xls]Safe Load Capacities'!H28="No"),"District Original File OPR Ratings",IF(AND(LEFT(J30,1)="D",OR('[Analysis_Distr#3_QA#3.xls]Safe Load Capacities'!H27=0.9,'[Analysis_Distr#3_QA#3.xls]Safe
Load Capacities'!H27=0.8),'[Analysis_Distr#3_QA#3.xls]Safe Load Capacities'!H28="Yes"),"District Original File SLC Ratings",""))))
The pasted cell is different from the copied cell because the formula in the pasted cell references cells on other worksheets that are now preceded by links to the source work book.
However, if I select a
cell that contains a formula that references cells on another work sheet but
copy the
text for that cell from the formula bar and
paste the
text in the formula bar for the same cell in the same work sheet in another file, the pasted cell looks exactly the same as the copied cell.
For example, I copied the text in the formula bar for cell X46 from the ‘Rating Summary’ work sheet in the ‘Analysis_Distr#3_QA#3.xls’ file and pasted it in the formula bar for cell X46 in the ‘Rating Summary’ work sheet in the
‘Analysis_Distr#3_QA#4.xls’ file and obtained the following results.
Copied Cell   "   =IF(AND(LEFT(J30,1)="D",'Safe Load Capacities'!H27="N/R"),"District
Original File OPR Ratings",IF(AND(LEFT(J30,1)="D",'Safe Load Capacities'!H27=1),"District Original File OPR Ratings",IF(AND(LEFT(J30,1)="D",OR('Safe Load Capacities'!H27=0.9,'Safe Load Capacities'!H27=0.8),'Safe Load Capacities'!H28="No"),"District
Original File OPR Ratings",IF(AND(LEFT(J30,1)="D",OR('Safe Load Capacities'!H27=0.9,'Safe Load Capacities'!H27=0.8),'Safe Load Capacities'!H28="Yes"),"District Original File SLC Ratings",""))))
Pasted Cell   "   =IF(AND(LEFT(J30,1)="D",'Safe Load Capacities'!H27="N/R"),"District

The pasted cell is exactly the same as the copied cell.
I want to select, copy and paste a group of cells as described above in ‘red’ but obtain the results as described above in ‘green’; in other words, I don’t want the links to the source work book preceding the references to cells on other work sheets.
At this point, the only solution I know is to apply the procedure described above in ‘green’ one cell at a time. As you can imagine, this would be a tedious process if there are sixteen cells to copy involving seventy-two work books. Thanks

Call parking copy and paste issue

After updating our Lync clients we have run into an issue where the lips emoticon is pasted into the IM windows instead of the actual link containing the parked call to pick up. Previously there was no emoticon for the ":*" string but that is now
the lips emoticon where previously it was the "(k)" string. When pasting the parked call link, this is the unformatted text showing the first portion of the string containing the :* which is interpreted as the lips.
tel:*244;ms-parked-call=34633135643133302D656261332D343233632D623830612D6331356334323261363332623B66726F6D2D7461673D326134663330653432313B746F2D7461673D37363335366431323966;phone-context=<client site>
Disabling Emoticons in the Lync client doesn't help at all. Even though they are disabled, pasting the content into the composition pane still produces the lips but when sending it shows the text :* and the rest of the string is gone.

Hi,
When I copied the orbit number and entered on my Lync 2013 client I got the same result.
Since a prefix can be the value * or # placed at the beginning of the number, you can create a new callparkorbit policy with the value “#” placed at the beginning of the number.

Captivate 6 Copy and Paste issue

After copying a Text Entry Box, Captivate 6 persist in pasting the same Text Entry Box object after several other objects (i.e. screenshots) have been copied to the clipboard. OS is Windows 7.

Hi there
In most of the Captivate classes I facilitate, I admonish folks that if you plan on using Captivate intensively all day long, it would behoove you to close it around lunchtime and re-open it to use it for the afternoon.
The thing is, Captivate offers an "unlimited" number of undo levels from the time it's been started. This can only mean that it's tracking everything and building that history somewhere. My guess is that eventually, that history list will begin to impact the performance of Captivate. Personally, I notice that certain items such as an ability to paste as background will disappear. Then when I restart Captivate, the option magickally returns.
So I don' treally view it as a "bug", per se. More of an operational hazard.
Cheers... Rick

Mouse right click copy and paste issue

No matter if I use the trackpad or any mouse if I go to copy & paste something to the end of a sentence it will backspace to the next word. I can hit SPACE and seperate it and it will still backspace into the last word like this. Example. Hello my name is TomI live in the US.
C&P'd . (I live in the US) as you can see the m and I are together.
I can space 8-10 spaces and it will backup every time. Gets annoying when you have a lot of C&P to do.

@ IffatAsyraff, Not sure how long but it's more pronouned now that I'm having to C&P a lot of my work.
@LexSchellings, I used the space bar not the arrows.
@ LowLuster, No, It does that on it's own.(highlights)
I added space with the SPACE BAR to show that whether I space once or 10 times it backs it up.
I know the video is crappy because I was holding my phone while recoding and when it shows me highlighting the sentence I was attempting to rease it to show how it C&P's but the last part is what it does.

CS6 Copy and Paste issues

I've gotten this slight problem with dreamweaver CS6 where I can copy but can't paste,
also the paste function doesn't appear in the context menu, not sure what i've done however any help will be appreciated.

Did you try doing some testes in Word to see if copy/paste works in it? The reason for the tests is to see if the keyboard is faulty. It is common for some keys to stop working so perhaps changing the keyboard might do the trick.
Copy/paste is very basic Windows/Mac function Not DW function. Dw is only using the Application Development Kits/Framework provided by Microsoft or Apple to make the programs work in Windows or Mac. If you were using a Mac then I would be excited about it because I have never liked them; But using an XP is something unusual because I have always liked XP until I upgraded to Windows 7.
Sorry, i can't think of any other solutions right now.

Non responsive copy and paste in Illustrator CS6

Hello,
Since April we are using the Adobe Design suite CS6. We are experiencing some serious copy and paste issues. When our users try to copy some artwork and paste it into the same image again, it might occur that the system is non responsive to the action performed. Really nothing happens.
This happens in about 50% of the times. The other 50% the artwork will appear within a delay of about 5-10 seconds.
Anyone having similar issues? Of could point us to any working direction?
