I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

Having problems copying and pasting in Photoshop CS5

Hi,
I'm running Photoshop CS5 on my laptop (Win 7) and desktop (Win 8).
When I have three documents open and open a New one, I can't get the others to copy and paste by keys or menus...not even by dragging to the new document.
Same thing happens in both version of Windows. The images are all jpgs, RGB, 8 bit.
Also, sometimes when I create a New doc, one of the other images suddenly disappear.
Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

You probably simply crash your graphics acceleration by exhausting all resources. Turn off openGL in the prefs and/or update your graphics driver.

CS4 problems copying and pasting masked items

The problem: Copying and pasting a placed image combined with other Illustrator art with multiple gausian blurs that have been masked/grouped. Placed image type does not matter. PDF, JPG, TIFF, etc placed in Illustrator CS4 (or 3). Some images are complex and others are not.
What happens: After copying and pasting, the masked (grouped) image breaks apart into separate components that are no longer masked/grouped. Happens with different files with different images on different computers. WIth or without text in document. Sometimes image pastes correctly but most times it does not.
Hardware/OS: 3 separate iMacs (20" and two 23") all with intel chips but different processing speeds. All running latest and most updated version of Leopard. All with 4 MB Ram and more than a 100 GB of free hard drive space.
Software: Illustrator CS4 (latest update) and CS3 on one of the 23" iMacs.
Solutions tried so far: Ran Onyx, repaired permissions, scripts, cleaned caches, zapped PRAM and on one iMac, ran Disk Warrior. Tried in Safe boot mode and tired with a new user account. Created new files with new images and tried old files. Tried opening files from the server and from the desktop. Threw out illustrator prefs and emptied trash.
Thought it may have to do with font conflicts but some files don't have fonts. Turned off font management programs (Suitcase on one iMac, Font Explorer Pro on others, all updated to latest version) and restarted so only system fonts loaded. No luck. Turned on fonts used in various documents, still no luck.
Thought it may have to do with memory issues after copying masked items. Sometimes the copied image would paste correctly and then the next time I pasted it, it would not. Before pasting a second time I would copy a small item (to clear the memory) and then paste it and then recopy the masked item and paste that. Still no luck.
Checked activity monitor but nothing looks to be a memory hog or out of place. Happens on all three iMacs and while the OS and Illustrator are common to all three, Fonts and font management tools are not. No weird plug-ins or third party extensions installed. Plus it happened in safe boot mode so all extraneous fonts and such should have been deactivated.
Curiously, if I drag copy the masked item using the option key, the masked item copies fine. I know this can be used as a work-around but I would like to resolve this as sometimes the designers need/want to use command-c/command-v.
Not sure what else to try. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you.

This might work, this might not. I have copy paste problems
on a regular basis and all that works for me is closing Captivate
down and then re open and continue. At worst, a reboot tends to
solve this glitch in my experience.
Good Luck

Having Trouble Copy and Pasteing Local Variable in LabVIEW 2010

I am Having Trouble Copy and Pasteing Local Variable in LabVIEW 2010 in s subVI.
I have a VI that has a Local Variable called "Node Addr". I can select it OK, and it appears to Copy OK, But when I go to paste it, nothing appears. It doesn't matter if I use Cntrl-C Cntrl-V or the Copy and Paste from the Edit menu, I get the same results. I tried many times and got the same results. I made sure that I had click a paste location. I can insert the Local Variable if I use the Data Communication panel.
On one of the Paste, I got an error in the error list that said that a Local Variable was not connected to anything. When I clicked on the error, it took me to an insible item in the lower right corner of the block diagram that had nothing but a select box around it. I couldn't select the invisible item, but I could delete it.
Why does the copy and paste of this local variable not work?
Why does the paste cause the insertion of an invisible item?

My VI is fairly complicated. In several places in the VI, I am either reading or writing to this variable which is an numeric Indicator on the Front Panel. Using local variables seems to be the best way to handle this situation rather that using wiring all over the VI. Since the VI is mainly a State Machine and there are only 2 Writes to the local variable, I am not afraid of race conditions in this case. NO!! While you may think that using Locals is your solution to wiring, it is not! The fact that you are writing and reading, most likely from several places, will most definitely contribute to a race condition. Depending on your implemetation, you should ALWAYS use wires. The wires are the variable. If you are using a loop (While, For), then using shift registers are appropriate means for routing values so that they are used by other sections of the code, later. One thing you must respect with LabVIEW is the dataflow. That's where Locals often fail.
I am not copying the Local Variable from one VI to another.

The Data Communication panel is one of the panels that shows up in the Functions pop up list when editing the Block Diagram. It is the panel that includes the Local Variable function.
I don't know if the invisible item that was inserted in my block diagram was hidden or not. All I know is that the Errors List said that it was a Local Variable and that it was not connected to anything. I couldn't select it to get more information. All I could do was delete it.
You did not address my questions about why the Copy and Paste does not work properly for my Local Variable. Maybe it's a sign from the Software Gods not to use them LOL!..
So if I understand correctly, you are trying to copy & paste the Local Variable from within the same VI. How large is your block diagram? Did you try right-click on the variable and select "Find > Local Variables"? If it's a block diagram larger than 1 single screen (which it shouldn't), then it is possible that the Local is hiding beyond the screen. You should find it as I described earlier.
See my comments in red above.

It's currently taking me ages to send multiple emails as I'm having to copy and paste the email each time. Does anyone know if there is a way that I can send the same email several times but that can be addressed (Dear....) to different people?

Oh at least just duplicate the same email several times so all I will be maunally inserting each time will be the address/name??? Please help!!!

Problems copying and pasting multiple slides from one captivate to another.

I have been able to copy and paste several slides into
another captivate and suddenly this has stopped working. I am using
the ctrl key to select multiple slides (a set of 3) and the using
the Edit drop-down to select copy slide. Then, I click on the other
captivate and click paste slides. It is only bringing 1 slide, the
first one, and not the 2nd and 3rd... any ideas. I've had another
set of eyes look over my shoulder... and we're both scratching our
heads.
Also, for some reason the text entry boxes are being copied,
but the failure caption associated with it does not come along. It
also copied the button but lost the association with the text entry
box. WTH?

This might work, this might not. I have copy paste problems
on a regular basis and all that works for me is closing Captivate
down and then re open and continue. At worst, a reboot tends to
solve this glitch in my experience.

Looking for an app that I can save what I highlight when I am reading an article without having to copy and paste

Looking for an app that I can save what I highlight when I am reading an article without having to copy and paste

I looked at Bento and at first glance I think it would do everything I want it to do, then I saw a review or something from a customer that indicated the information in Bento could not be exported (say to send out a mailing). I may want a program that can do that as well, is there one out there? If not it does look like Bento will work. When you save a picture to a customer in Bento can you open it up full size?

Problems copying and pasting text on Ipad

since updating to iOS 8, when I use the Touch and hold copy function to copy text, it sometimes pastes the correct text and sometimes pastes text that I had copied a long time ago.
For example, I touch and hold some text until the black "copy" option appears, I copy an address from eg. Mail and paste it into Maps and it might work, but when I then copy a different text like a name and paste it, it will paste the address from before.
It seems to be completely random regardless of which apps I am copying from or pasting to. Any answers would be appreciated!

Yep, it's a feature that Apple announced called "Intelligent Text Selection". It's supposed to make it easier to copy columns of paragraphs of text from a multi-column document and keep the paragraphs in the right order when pasted into a new document.
It works perfectly if you actually have a newsletter or other multi-column document and want the paragraphs to stay in order. You are seeing an unintended result. The new "Advanced Artificial Intelligence" is not properly analyzing your document.
Intelligent text selection has been added in Preview. This has to do with the app's ability to select text in PDFs. In the current version of Mac OS X, selecting text in PDFs is not always logical. For example, if you have three text columns and just need to select the text in one of them, you may not be able to do it. "Advanced artificial intelligence" included with Snow Leopard "analyzes each PDF document to understand the structure of its words, paragraphs, columns, and visual layout and create a map of the document’s organization," Apple reveals. "Preview uses this information to help you accurately target the text you want to copy and paste, even if the text is in columns."
It would be nice to be able to turn this 'feature' off:

5.0.2 I'm having trouble copying and pasting blocks of 10+ clips so that...

I have 10+ overlapping clips which, when I try to copy and paste to reuse later in the movie don't paste in the same order or even in the same general spot in the movie. Basically, I have to first go searching for the pasted pieces and then try to put them together all over again. It seems like there must be an easier way.
This is for a music video and i'm working ONLY with audio (all video has been deleted), which, as i said is very much overlapping.

Your only choice at this point is to use a machine running 10.3.9 at the latest.
Even the you will need to resort the audio.

Problems copying and pasting a head from one photo onto a body of another photo

I used the magnetic lasso tool in PSE8 to trace around the head
and then copied it from the edit menu. Opened the new photo with the
body I wanted and pasted the head into the photo. Instead of just the head, a
white margin was around the head and it covered up part
of the shoulders on the body and background of the picture.
How do I just copy the head without the added white margin around it? My last
PSE version was 3 so 8 is a big jump for me.

Hi,
Select the head via any ool and create a layer via copy from right click.
Now open the destination image and drag this layer to that image and move around it using the move tool. It works fine on me. If this doesnot fix the issue, please let me know the exact steps.

PDF problem: copy and paste results in squares

hello all,
I have problem with my PDF's. I'm afraid the problem maybe is not related to the distiller, but I hope someone here can guide me in the right direction. I don't know exactly what the right starting point is for this case.
The problem is that whenever I copy text from a document (reader 7.0 or Adobe Acrobat 9 pro on windows XP) that is created with the distiller server and I paste the clipboard in a word document, the result is a string of squares, one per character. It seems the font size is preserved, as the squares appear in different size.
Can any of you guide me with this? The problem seems to be the postscript that I use as a starting point. When I distill it (distiller version seems to be not important, I use distiller server 4.05 for windows) the problem arises.
What can be the cause of that? Can I change the distiller options to fix this or do I have to change the postscript? Do I have to upgrade the distiller? Has it something to do with the fonts?
I have an example of a postscript that gives this problem here: http://pastebin.com/EbVGBhAL
thanks in advance for helping me, Ruud

OK, Bernd, now I see.
So the encoding vector maps the character codes to character names; the charstrings map maps the character names to the characters.
And the character _names_ are used during the copy to clipboard. That is you meant by 'the encoding is incorrect'. The character names in my postscript are like 'c01', 'c02' and so on; the copy to clipboard can't use them. Interesting.
Bernd, can you tell me how you know that character \016 maps to a 6 in the font table? On the moment, that is my 'missing link'. If I only know how you did it, I could make the mapping myself. I would be very happy....
thanks a lot, Ruud

I am having trouble copying and pasting.

Once I have sent a copied item it reappears when I am wanting to select a new copied item. I am mailing on hotmail. Also, it does not always paste/ appear at the other end.

Unless you want the whole screen, why not use the Snipping tool? It's great!
Anyway, regarding the clipboard problem try Edit > Purge> Clipboard before you capture what you want.

The send link is not working. I get taken to my Outlook inbox where a message is displayed 'navigation to the webpage is cancelled'. Any ideas on how to fix this? It's driving me mad having to copy and paste the link rather than clicking on 'send to'!

I am using Outlook 2010 and I have set this as default. Furthermore, this does not seem to be recognised by Windows XP as it is not listed in IE8 options, programs drop down list. Very strange. Had no problems previously with Outlook Express.
