Copy/paste error in Illustrator CC 2014?

Anyone experiencing any copy/paste behavior in AI CC 2014? When I copy objects from one Illustrator file and paste them into another, I get double the objects onto the canvas (from 2, 4, from 3, 6, etc.) ... and I do not have a trembling set of digits that causes my to paste multiple times in a millisecond. This only happens "here and there" BUT often enough to have me asking you all. Thank you.

si-bone,
You may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Copy+paste issues in Flash CC 2014

    Is anyone else having trouble copying and pasting code in Flash CC 2014? I typically work with smaller code blocks and then merge them into a master file, but that requires copy+paste. When I copy, it appears to copy (paste becomes highlighted) but I cannot paste in any way into the code. it's not working between documents, and not even working inside a single document.
    Am I missing something obvious? Any help would be appreciated.
    - Just confirmed, switching back to Flash Pro CS6 works just fine with copying and pasting, as long as the content on the clipboard is copied from Flash CS6 and not CC 2014. I cannot copy anything from Flash CC 2014 into another Flash document.

    It's in the code area, and I tried pasting it (didn't show anything) and then executing the code, and it didn't do anything.
    I then tried creating a text area on the page, and went to the Edit menu - and "Paste Special" was the only available option. So I tried that, and it says "Source: Unknown Source" and the only option I have is to Cancel.
    I then went into Flash CS6, and copied a line of code from that. I tried pasting it into the Flash CC 2014 actions console, and it did nothing. I then went back to my text area (still in Flash CC 2014) and it pasted the code in there fine. 
    So, it looks like I still cannot copy from or paste into the actions panel Flash CC 2014, which is what I need. But, maybe this sparks another idea? Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

  • Copy/paste shapes from Illustrator also brings in a black background. Why?

    When you copy/paste a shape from Illustrator into Muse, it also brings in a black background. Why does this happen and how do we delete it?
    Thanks!

    It's a bounding box when you copy Vector from Ai and paste it into Muse the file gets converted to a Raster image.
    you should copy the vector shape into Photoshop and scale to the size you need then export it. (Still Raster)
    But you can also Export it as .swf and import that into muse and it scales nicely looks good in preview even after you resize the shape...   (No bounding box)
    Hope this helps

  • CS3 & Leopard - can't copy/paste from InDesign Illustrator?

    I have just loaded Leopard and then CS3 onto my new MacBook Pro and then upgraded my existing iMac with another Leopard and the same CS3. Neither machine will allow me to copy/paste images or text boxes from InDesign > Illustrator - It appears to try to (shows the working color wheel - then nothing happens) It will allow me to select/copy the text WITHIN a text frame but will paste text only - not attributes????? I can copy /paste Illustrator >InDesign. also have no problem between Photoshop and either of InDesign or Illustrator?????? Have spoken to Adobe - they have no solution at this point and are 'getting back to me'.... Not a problem on Tiger/CS2 on iMac before upgrade. Appreciate your help!

    Possibly running out of ram since it needs to rasterize for photoshop. Save the ai file then let photoshop open it.

  • Help, is there a way to retrieve copy paste errors / files? Please?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am in a desperate situation.
    I am working on a project that I did in Pages, don't know what version I am in but I have a 10.6.8 OSX. I have a Macbook Pro.
    My problem is I didn't turn on the Time Machine (which I NOW know I should have done).
    I have been copy pasting some text into a master file to make use of the Table of Contents feature.
    In the midst and rush of things, I ended up with an error.
    I erased part the original file, I was copying from. I discovered it a day or two after.
    The thng is I had emptied my trash bin to save space almost the same time too.
    Is there anyway I could retrieve the original version of the that file. Might it be hidden somewhere in my hard drive?
    How do I retrieve it?
    That was probably 4-5 pages long and now its 1 page only.
    Please please help,would appreciate any tips.
    Thank you so much for any advice.

    No I'm sorry, but it is gone. The older file is overwritten by the newer when you save.
    No comfort now, but if you had upgraded to OSX 10.7 (Lion) there would have been an older version retained within the file and you could have regressed back to that.

  • Copy/paste errors after updating Acrobat Professional to 8.1.3

    Hi,
    I as well as my colleague has recently experienced problems with copying/pasting comments in and between pdf-documents. It seems to me that the problems appeared after updating to 8.1.3. Very frustrating because we are using Acrobat intensively in our roof reading process.
    I found one other thread mentioning this but there is no solution.
    Lars Lindbjerg

    Sorry to hear about the trouble.  We've heard some reports of similar issues with files not opening after the 11.0.01/10.1.5/9.5.3 updates were installed.  I would suggest uninstalling Acrobat, the reinstalling and patching up to 10.1.4 again as an immediate solution.
    To help us figure out what may be going with your particular files, could you open one in Acrobat and choose File > Properties.  I'd like to know what it says next to the PDFProducer and Application lines.

  • Copy/paste "Error list" Items with errors as plain text ?

    When I attempt to run a Labview project main.vi I get a long "Error list" window, listing many .vi files within the .lvproj as "Items with errors". I would like to get this listing as a plain text file for documentation purposes (another developer checked this code in, and it is supposed to be working).  However the small window cannot be resized very much and it is not a plain text field that I can copy and paste in the normal Windows way. Is there a way to export these errors as plain text?

    Thanks for the responses. I'm using Labview 2014 SP1 Version 14.0.1 (32 bit) on Windows 7.
    Certainly I do need to talk with the other guy but he won't be back for some weeks.  The errors I have cause a "broken arrow" condition so the program does not even start. Does an error handler at the end help me in that case?  Yes I can do a screen shot, but there are so many errors it would take about 5 screen shots to scroll through the (fairly small, non-resizeable) dialog box and capture them all.  
    I was hoping for an easy way to capture this,  but now my guess is that LabView was just not intended to work that way.  I'm more used to other programming environments, where errors were always available in plain text format.

    The first thing you should try when you get unexpected error

  • Drag and Drop/Copy-Paste Error!  Help!

    My good old mac seems to finally have began its death throes. I've never had a real problem with the machine until this point.
    The most noticeable part of the issue is my inability to drag and drop anything. On top of that I can't copy and paste, and can't send files via Instant Messenger or anything like that. I can attach files to e-mail for some strange reason.
    Another strange system is the pixellation of the icons in my dock. For some strange reason the shortcut icons in my dock for random apps become pixellated, again, randomly.
    I just finished a disk repair with Disk Utility and am about to restart. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, have you tried resetting the launch services to see if that fixes your icon problem?
    Look here.
    Otherwise, it may be a sign of a dying video card, or heat buildup.

  • Copy/Paste error: system pastes previous entry

    Hello everyone,
    I am having a strange problem. When I apple-C some text, then apple-V it into a browser or worddoc, rather than pasting the text I just copied, it pastes the text I had previously copied, the last time I hit apple-C. So, it is as if it forgets/ignores that I just hit apple-C...
    Anyone ever seen this?
    I am experiencing it not on my laptop, but on a coworkers Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.6.
    Thanks thanks thanks,
    Lizzy

    Hi Lizzie,
    Try this, navigate to ~(yourHome)/Library/Caches and drag that folder to the desktop. Then restart or log out and back in.

  • IDSCS5.5 How to determine if a pageitem was copy/pasted from Illustrator

    Hi,
    My flow is as follows:
    - Open document in IndesignServer
    - (XML)Tag every pageitem with our custom IndesignServer plugin (c++ SDK)
    - If pageItem is a group, tag every member separately
    - save/close the document
    My problem is:
    - If pageitem was copy/pasted from Illustrator and pageitem has a gradient fill => IndesignServer crashes while tagging.
    - Copy/pasted illustrator items with plain colorfills work fine.
    Note that:
    - Copy pasted pageitems from illustrator with a gradient fill are considerated as group in Indesign.
    - The gradient fill of Illustrator is not recognized as such in Indesign ( I could only test with Illustrator CS4).
    - The lack of color information in that situation is not enough to consider the object as "from Illustrator".
    My question:
    - How can i determine if the origin of the pageitem is Illustrator? (I have no control on the creation of the document).
    I know this is a hard one...
    Thanks in advance for any usefull input!

  • Arabic text direction and language in Illustrator CC 2014

    I have a rich text format document in Arabic and the text direction is from right to left. when I copy the text in TextEdit software and paste it in illustrator CC 2014 I can change the characters to Arabic but the text direction in from left to right. I've read about Adobe World-Ready Composers and the option for paragraph direction in the adobe site in this link Creative Suite Help | Arabic and Hebrew support in CS6 but I don't have this option in my version of Illustrator CC 2014. This is the image shown in the link http://helpx.adobe.com/mena/using/arabic-hebrew/_jcr_content/main-pars/image.img.png/World -readyComposer.png and these are my options shown in these two screen capture images of my software. What should I do?

  • Calling Javascripts with a panel then prevents copy/paste functions in Photoshop CS5

    Hi,
    I have a simple panel in Photoshop that calls a Javascript when a button is pressed.
    I have a simple script that does some Duplication of layers and a bit of simple image manipulation.
    I run the script from the Extended Toolkit and eveything works fine.
    I run the same script from the Panel and the script runs fine; but then the copy / Paste functionality of Photoshop is broken.
    I have to close the Panel window or run the script from the toolkit to get the functionality back.
    EDIT:  I have not narrowed this down to simple interations with the Panel can casue this issue - clicking on icons, switching `Tabs` etc...
    Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Cheers,
    Pete

    Hi,
    I created a simple panel that only had a button that calls an external JavaScript.
    Even if I simply click on the panel a few times, move it around etc without executing the script, I can get the copy paste error.  It happens 90% of the time and interestingly it only happens on the currently active document.
    The only way to get the functionality back is to close the panel.
    It seems to be a focus issue,  but as I'm not calling any script in this case - where could I put the Bridge Talk command?
