Error message when cutting and pasting in a document

Hi,
When I attempt pasting something from one layer to another in an AI document I am receiving the following standard error message:
You are attempting to paste or drag into one or more layers that are locked or hidden. Do you want to unlock and show all appropriate layers?
Here's the problem--I don't have any layers locked or any layers hidden. I've tried adding new layers and pasting into those, but no go. This problem just started a few minutes ago--till then everything was fine. I've tried re starting AI and re starting my Mac. Nothing.
Anyone have a fix?
Thanks,

Yes.
I see now that I can paste into the layer I am copying from, but not into any other layer. If I lock my source layer, I can't paste at all.

I'm getting a "printer error" message when I try to print a document with a lot of scans in it. Any suggestions?

OK, I tried a few things, and I do not understand the results.
1) I opened the document in Preview, and it would only recognize the three initial pages which I typed using the Pages App. It did not recognize the bulk of the text which I copied from Appleworks 6. It also did not recognize any of the scans.
2) I tried opening a pdf in Preview, and it would only recognize the scans. (No Text!)
3) I tried copying everything (select all, and command-c) in Pages, and then opened a blank Pages doc, and typed Command-v. This got me all of the text, but none of the scans!
4) I was worried that my Pages app might be corrupted, but I successfully converted a similar 78-page document with copied materials from Appleworks 6 and similar scans, ant this worked perfectly.
My conclusion is that my file must be corrupted. Is there any way to check this? shabda88

SQL query works in the SQLPlus, but fires parse error after being cut and pasted into

One of our client has a SQL query like this:
SQL> SELECT LNAME,
2 QUOTA/12,
3 (SELECT SUM(CAMT) FROM CONSULTING WHERE CONSULTANT = P.EMPLOYEE
4 AND ACTIVITYCODE = 'C'AND
5 CDATE BETWEEN '01-JAN-2001' AND '31-JAN-2001') AS SUM,
6 (SELECT SUM(CAMT) FROM CONSULTING WHERE CONSULTANT = P.EMPLOYEE
7 AND ACTIVITYCODE = 'C'AND
8 CDATE BETWEEN '01-JAN-2001' AND '31-JAN-2001') -
QUOTA/12 AS PL
9 FROM PERSONNEL P
10 ORDER BY LNAME;
Running the above query in the SQLPlus returns appropriate resultsets to the
user. After the same SQL being cut and pasted into a portal report
component, running the report component fires the following error:
Failed to parse query
Error:ORA-00911: invalid character (WWV-11230)
Failed to parse as XXX - SELECT LNAME, QUOTA/12, (SELECT SUM(CAMT) FROM
CONSULTING WHERE CONSULTANT = P.EMPLOYEE AND ACTIVITYCODE = 'C'AND CDATE
BETWEEN '01-JAN-2001' AND '31-JAN-2001') AS SUM, (SELECT SUM(CAMT) FROM
CONSULTING WHERE CONSULTANT = P.EMPLOYEE AND ACTIVITYCODE = 'C'AND CDATE
BETWEEN '01-JAN-2001' AND '31-JAN-2001') - QUOTA/12 AS PL FROM PERSONNEL P
ORDER BY LNAME; (WWV-08300)
Cursor is not open
Is this because of the multi-table queries, or something else? Is there any
way around this? Any information regarding this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Sunny,
From the error message that you posted it seems that you are putting a semicolon ";" at the end of your query. I checked the query that you have posted. It is working fine for me. (I am using 3.0.8) but I feel it will work in your version also. I tried the query without a ";" at the end --It worked.
I tried with ";" at the end -- It gave the error that you have posted. So remove the ";" at the end and it should work. If you are still getting the same error then pls write down the version you are using. I will check in that version.
Thanx,
Chetan.

How to avoid renders when cutting and pasting sequences to a new timeline?

I am working on a 45 minute documentary in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3.
The footage is 1080 24p and is being editing in a ProRes standard timeline (not the HQ version). I work on the documentary in chapters (separate sequences)...and then for rough cut outputs...cut and paste the chapters into a separate sequence timeline (also ProRes at the same frame rate).
However, sometimes simple text titles, which didn't need rendering in the shorter chapter timeline, show up as redlines that need rendering in the longer timeline. Which I don't quite understand unless the process of copying and pasting severs the render links...but why should it do that?
My timeline is toggled to SAFE RT in both chapter timelines and the overall project.
Can anyone offer some advice on how I can get those chapters into a longer timeline without the redline bar showing up?
Many thanks,
John

Hi John,
Which I don't quite understand unless the process of copying and pasting severs the render links...but why should it do that?
Well as you noted, the titles don't actually need rendering in your shorter sequence, hence there are no associated render files ie no link is being lost as there is nothing being linked to. Do you follow me? The issue is instead related to how many of these "realtime without rendering" titles that your system can track and handle, and that in turn is related to the amount of RAM in your system and how you have assigned that RAM allocation in FCP's *System Settings...* window > *Memory and Cache* tab. In the short sequence you have fewer titles and so FCP is managing them all in realtime, but in the longer master sequence it would seem apparent that the total number of titles exceeds that which your system can handle with all being in realtime, so the latter ones will require rendering.
My timeline is toggled to SAFE RT in both chapter timelines and the overall project ... Can anyone offer some advice on how I can get those chapters into a longer timeline without the redline bar showing up?
First, I'd ask if there is any specific reason you have set your sequences to Safe RT as opposed to the far more flexible Unlimited RT option?
Second, as alluded to above, you should investigate your current Memory and Cache settings. If its at the 10% default, then try increasing your Still Cache a little (use trial and error, maybe 15% or 20% is enough) ... you should see that your system can handle more of text generator items without needing to render when you allocate more RAM to the task, but note that as you allocate more to RAM to your Still Cache then you are effectively decreasing the RAM available to the rest of FCP, eventually you will hit a tipping point so don't push the value too high.
Hope it helps

Mac running slow when cut and paste

Hi,
recently I noticed that my mac is running slow when I cut and paste (there is a delay of approx 1-2 secs). I thought it might be some kind of spyware which is trying to steal sensitive information such as passwords, credit cards and others. That would be surprising as I thought those were still rare in Mac. Any thought on this? Suggestions on how to protect my mac from these security issues? Thanks in advance!
Mauro

Morning smartasso,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you find your Mac is running slowly, there are a number of potential causes that you can check.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

Why would I repeatedly receive an "unable to download at this time " error message when memory and signal do not seem to be a problem?

Uh, maybe it's a server problem, and unrelated to you or your device?

Text resizes when cutting and pasting

Help? When I cut and paste text from one scene or area to
another, the text changes sizes and does not look uniform to the
next. How do I eliminate that or at least figure out how to make
the text the same size (re: the original text may be 32, but the
pasted text - at 32 - is much larger.)?

The only time you should see a size difference is when you
take text out of a movie clip that has been scaled. Hit Crtl-t to
get the Transform window and see if the object is %100

Premiere still very unstable when cutting and pasting transitions

every beta release of Premiere becomes really unstable whenever I cut and paste transitions. Stock or 3rd party transitions, doesnt matter.... 4.0 - 4.1 beta, doesnt matter either...

Yes, it's sweet when something works perfectly out of the box. It's usually nice when a couple of updages cure all ills. Unfortunately, there seems to yet be a "perfect world." Agree with Jim that until it's discovered, other methods must be employeed. A Feature Request/Bug Report would be the best way to deal with this for now.
Good luck,

Many of the windows conventions are similar, but substitute use of the Command key for Alt key in windows when using a Mac..

The big differences is Apple specified to programmers early on what these conventions would be and they are consistent (with few exceptions) on all Mac Apps.

How to cut and paste long Word document into text generator?

I have a very long list of attributions in a Word document.
When I cut and paste it into the "Sample Text" area, it goes in fine.
But when I try to look at it ... either as simple text or, preferred, scrolling ... I only get parts of the document.
I can correct it by adding a 'return' in the middle of every few words.
But my document is so long, it would take a long time to do that one by one.
Solutions sought: How to just import the whole document and have it scroll, zip-zip?!

Thank you DH and skalaki, I had not known of the Boris title generator. Funny, I had looked in the FCE online manual until 'titling' and editing text ... didn't see mention of that.
In any case ... I've now found it and trust I'll be able to figure it out.
Since skalaki was first with the answer, I awarded the 'solved' there. DH's comments were further helpful.

Error message when cutting a sequence into a sequence

When we try to cut a sequence into another sequence, we either get a nested sequence (the nest tool is turned off) or we crash with this error message:
We are in Premiere Pro 2014.2 with our media on a server. I moved the entire project to my local drive and tried it that way but had the exact same result.
I switched the General Settings and changed the Mercury Playback Engine to software only. It did not help. I have no unlicensed plug ins and cleared my media cache.
I've spoken to the Adobe help line (!argh!) but he was unable to fix the issue. He did delete all of my settings I was starting at the defaults. This did not help either.
Has anyone any experience with the above error message?
Thanks.

Yes.
I see now that I can paste into the layer I am copying from, but not into any other layer. If I lock my source layer, I can't paste at all.
