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

How to duplicate calendar events copy paste?

I am trying to build my schedule on calendars with my iPad. I would like to put in my work schedule but I don't work the same days every week. I am looking for a way to copy paste/duplicate entries so I don't have to keep inputting them. Because I don't work the same days each week/month I can't use the repeat feature. I have tried a long press to copy and paste but it moves the whole event and doesn't duplicate it. Is there a way to do this? I have found that I can do this on my Macbook Pro in iCal and then it updates the iPad through iCloud but I would like to do it with my iPad because I have the iPad and iPhone with me all the time and the Macbook stays at home.

As you know by now, there is now way to copy and paste (drag and drop duplicate) iPad Calendar events. However, I have found a workaround that allows you to duplicate an event and place the duplicates in various dates on your Calendar. NOTE: This is probably not too practical for making a single copy, but it does save time and keystrokes for multiple copies. In Calendar, tap on the event you want to duplicate and select Edit. In the Edit window select Repeat. In the Repeat window select Every Day, then tap Done to take you back to the Edit menu. Tap End Repeat and select an end date that will give you the number of copies you want (e.g., if the original event date is 11/12 and you want 5 copies, select 11/17 as the End Repeat date. Tap Done twice to return to the Calendar. Then just drag the Repeats/Copies to the various dates where you want them placed (works best in Month view). When you finish each drag/drop, you will get a "This is a repeating event" pop-up window; you need to select "Save for this event only."

I've reinstalled Dreamweaver 8 and that doesn't fix the

Error "Compile error: Invalid character" after copy paste operations in VBE 6.5 PowerPoint 2011

This is a weird problem with the VBE 6.5 in Office 2011, running natively on a Mac.
Sometimes, yet often, when I select a word by double clicking on it or a line by highlighting that line in the editor and then copy/paste it somewhere else in the code, the compiler throws the error "Compile error: Invalid character"
The thing is, what I see has been pasted is exactly the same as the source text. However, if I then paste the same clipboard item to a text editor, I can see that there is an 'invisible' character at the end of the string which is counted in the text editor
where the cursor is shifted past it but does not shown on the screen!!!
Back in the VBE, if I select a line that is dubious and drag it, the semi transparent dragged text has a '>' character on a new line.
In some copy/paste cases, the compiler doesn't see an error but the code doesn't work as expected and I have spent hours debugging stuff that has invisible characters in it (the hardest debugging I've ever had to do!).
I'm not sure if this example will paste correctly into the forum but this looks like 19 characters but is in fact 20 as there is the offending copy/paste invisible character between 'Test' and '.'
<code>Test.Value = False</code>
This seems to be a major oversight in the code of the VBE 6.5 so are Microsoft aware of this and when is it due to be fixed?
Jamie.

I had this exact issue. This is a terrible bug. The code looks perfect, but there are hidden characters that throw compiler errors. Thanks for the quick fix, Microsoft.

Copy & paste embeded object to file system

Cross-post at:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27685791/copy-paste-embeded-object-to-file-system
Background:
I wrote a large piece of VBA code in an Excel workbook to help handle a lot of repeating jobs. I found it is painful to maintain and modify the code by using the "pool" VBA Editor. Then, I decided to move those VBA code to C# solutions, which I
suppose I can benefit from the modern editor - Visual Studio.
Problem:
Although I don't know too much about VBA, I know even less about C#. Hence I got some problem when I try to "translate" my VBA code to C#, and here is one of them:
I create a document-level solution for Excel. I need to embed some files (.cab, .exe) into the solution, so when I run a method (e.g. by clicking a button), those files will be copied to the file system, and do some job.
In VBA, I embedded those files in the Excel workbook, then I can copy the embedded objects to the clipboard by using the following VBA code:
Sheet1.OLEObjects("obj_cab").COpy
And then I can paste the object to the file system by using the following VBA code:
CreateObject("Shell.Application").Namespace("C:\Sample\").Self.InvokeVerb "Paste"
In the C# solution, I can use the following equivalent method to copy the embedded object to the clipboard:
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.OLEObject OLEobj = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.OLEObject)sheet1.OLEObjects("obj_cab");
OLEobj.Copy();
Then I stuck here, I don't know how to get this object from clipboard and put it to the file system. The 'CreateObject' method does not exist in C#.
Anyone can help? Either a better way to embed those files or a working way to paste those objects (files) from clipboard to the file system?
Thanks a lot!

Hi FantaC,
It's possible to save the oleobject to the disk. But it's not very simple. Because when you call the Copy method of OLEObject to clipboard, it's actually not the exact the oleobject file itself, it's actually a wrapper of the file, it means that it has different
file headers and some other information from the original oleobject file.
To save oleobject on the disk, you need to analyze the byte array by yourself, this would be a little complicated. You could check the answer in this thread for the code sample:

There is no problem if the second drive is empty.

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 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 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.

Unfortunately, the VBOx docs can be pretty spotty.

From you example above it appears you are working with Ubuntu on one side or the other, but it it is not clear if that is host or guest. If we can get that clarified perhaps we can offer some more assistance.

Help - I can't drag/copy/paste!

I can't drag anything and it won't let me copy/paste (using shortcuts or the edit menu)
Please help!

OK, then try booting into safe mode. If the problem still persists then something is badly corrupted. I would suggest doing the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
