Lightroom paste settings not working

I have noticed this problem in every edition of LR4. About 50% of the time right-click paste settings in develop module does not appear work.Typically this will happen when I have quickly selected a new image in the filmstrip and tried to paste settings while the image is still loading, or immediately after loading. I have noticed the following behaviour when trying to use right-click paste settings:
The lightroom taskbar processes to show that a task is working
Paste settings appears a new event in the history panel
The main image preview shows no change whatsoever
This happens regardless of what kind of settings are being pasted
Keyboard shortcut for paste settings work every time no problem
Using the 'Previous' button works fine
Here's the thing: when I hover the mouse over the paste settings event in the history panel, the image navigator thumbnail shows the image with the settings applied even though the main image appears not to have made any changes. I can click back one stage in the history and then click on the paste settings event and the main image updates. So for some reason, right-click paste settings is working but just not showing up on the main image. Any idea why, and how can this be fixed?
My settings: intel quad core, 8gb ram, Win7, brand new install (only lightroom 4.3 and windows running), cleared and replaced image previews.
[For what its worth, this and the many many other bugs in LR4 compared to the excellent LR3 make me wish I had never bought it - disappointing QC from Adobe in this product.]

You should install 4.4.1 update before anything else.

Synchronize settings and copy and paste settings not working LR 4.1

Recently upgraded to LR 4.1.
The copy and paste settings and also synchronize setttings in LR 4.1 has stopped working.
Rebooted, nothing new added
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T 3.60gh
16 GB ram
64 bit

I am also seeing issues in 4.1 with Synchronize settings. I'll giove an example:
Select all images, change the white balance in most selected image, Click "Sync..." have only the "white balance" check box checked, click Synchronize biutton. All images in that folder appear to have synched, but looking more closely, some of the images did not get the white balance setting applied - this is really random also. Had the same issue trying to sync exposure across all images in a folder - 150ish images.
Never seen this in any version of LR prior to 4.1 - I have had them all since 1.2.
I am running Windows 7 x64 8GB on i7 920.
Hopefully Adobe are investigating this issue.

IPad 2 has slowed down copy paste is not working it hangs when filling in user name , please do something to solve all these problems ,Apple please wake up

IiPad 2 has slowed down with ios8 copy paste is not working it hangs when you try to fill up forms ,Apple engineers you need to do something fast

Apple engineers do not participate here. Have you updated to iOS 8.1 which was just release yesterday? Have you done any other troubleshooting? If you haven't start here.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
Now close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If those three things made no difference, try this. Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
If all of that fails, restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad before you restore, then restore the backup when you are done. If that still doesn't help, restore your iPad as new and start all over again. Most purchased content can be downloaded again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID and as long as the content is still available in the store.

Copy/paste function not working in Firefox 22. Always good in previous versions

Copy/paste function not working in Firefox 22. Always good in previous versions editions

Well I've uninstalled FF22, thanks for the suggestion.
Chrome works perfectly with ZA and C&P.

SQL DEVELOPER cut and paste does not work, slow and cannot work fast.

I have lots of difficulties using SQL Developer, the cut/paste does not work properly, when I type search in he code editor it just paste or type the test in the source code not in the serach box. Very hectic I'm pallning to swicth to TOAD until they a a good version.

Hello Aukhez,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with SQLDeveloper - personally, I've never had any problems with cut/copy/paste and searching, and I've been using SQLDeveloper from v1.0 to the current version, on practically every version of the JDK from 1.5-1.6u16 on both Windows and Linux.
Sorry to state the obvious, but perhaps if you could provide a bit more specific information - such as platform, version, etc - and details of what you tried to do, someone here might be able to help...? Regarding speed, there are quite a few things you can do to make this better, but again, without knowing your setup, it's hard to give you proper directions. Plus, you'll find numerous threads here and on google about what you can do to improve speed.

I am writing an applescript and want to paste the clipboard contents into a new file that opens in TextMate. This is what I have so far. The paste is NOT working...

This is what I have so far:
tell application "Google Chrome"
view source of active tab of window 1 -- Or whichever tab you want
delay 3
          repeat while loading of active tab of window 1
delay 3
          end repeat
select all of active tab of window 1 -- Must *always* be the active tab
copy selection of active tab of window 1
delay 3
--          delete tab (active tab index of window 1) of window 1
end tell
delay 1
tell application "TextMate-1.5.9"
activate
open
paste
end tell
Paste is not working.

This works, I am sure that there is a more elegant way??

Apple 10.4 managed clients dock settings not working

I have an issues with 3 or 4 of my 10.4 clients all are managed by WGM on an apple 10.5 server. The I have managed dock settings on all apple clients are getting the proper dock settings however I have 3 or 4 clients that are not. The clients that are not getting the dock settings are in the correct computer group. And I don't see any of the clients dedicated in the computer group. And suggestions or tips would be welcome help.

THAT WORKED and all is back to normal.
By the way I did not lose any of the icons on my dock either. All the apps light up under the icon and they now mimimize correctly!!
Thank you very much capfred!!!

Try deleting com.apple.dock.plist from the preference folder located in your user Library.
You can open the hidden library in Finder's menubar, Finder > Go > hold the option key down > select Library.
Edit: you'll have to add back program icons to the dock that you moved there.

Compression settings not working on Premiere Pro CC

I am a freelance editor working for a satellite delivery company. They have specific settings they require for their uplink signals. These setting have worked great on CS5, CS6 and CC2014. However the company is now using CC and these settings create HUGE pixels and the file is unusable. Why do the same settings not work on CC?

You're welcome.

Copy and paste is not working

Hi,
I am using Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 32 bit with Service Pack1 Copy paste is not working frequently. Please help me to solve the issue.

Hi,
What do you by "I used CTRL+P to paste"? As I know, we usually use copy\paste with ctrl+C\ctrl+V.
More information would be helpful.
Anyway, if this issue only happened in IE, then what is the result is we copy something with right-click\Copy?
You can also launch IE in add-on mode to tset this issue, click "Start", type "internet", then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
Meanwhile, clear browser history\caches\cookies, etc. Tools\Internet Options\General\Delete...

Cut and Paste will not work

I have a Toshiba Satellite/Satellite Pro C50-A series laptop I bought new in December 2013. It has Windows 8 on it. I did the upgrade to windows 8.1 almost immediatley so I cannot remember if my control c / control v, cut and paste worked in 8 or not. But it will NOT work in 8.1 for most of my programs. I desperately need it to work on my All My Movies database software from Bolide software and my Green Eclipse sticky notes. And cut and paste will NOT work AT ALL for those programs. It works sometimes for my email and my Apache Open Office word processor.
I have contaced microsoft who's tech did something Tuesday morning to get it working. But then I booted down my computer and went to bed and when I booted it up, yep, no more cut and paste ability again! So I tried contacting microsoft this morning around 2:30am and they said it was an OEM problem and to contact Toshiba.
I have even run a sfc /scannow twice and get the same error message:
sfc /scannow      ran 1/22 1:30am
results: windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
for ex c:\windows\Logs\CBS/CBS.log
note that logging is currently not supported in offline servicing scenarios
The above error message I WAS ABLE to cut and paste FROM my green eclipse sticky note to this forum! But when I tried to cut and paste this message back to a NEW sticky note......NOTHING!
I hope someone here can provide a permanent solution to fix this! It may seem minor but I do a LOT of cut/pasting!
frustrated!!!!
lisa

There are dozens of possibilities, Lisa.
Which C50-A do you have? There is a label on the bottom.
What security applications do you have installed? Webroot is a common offender.
Do you have Microsoft Office installed? If so, which version?
Do you use Bluetooth?
Did you upgrade to Windows 8.1 properly, following carefully the instructions here?
   How to Update from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1
Find a situation that always gives you trouble, so that know when we learn something.
Then see if that trouble occurs after a clean boot.
   1. Open the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe). You can do that by typing msconfig at the Start screen and pressing Enter.
   2. On the Services tab, set the Hide all Microsoft services check box and then click Disable all.
   3. On the Startup tab, click Open Task Manager, right-click and disable each Startup item. Then close Task Manager.
   4. Back on the System Configuration screen, click OK, and restart the computer.

Image Settings not working when exporting in Lightroom v1.3.1

When I try to export Images in Lightroom v1.3.1 to jpeg the image settings do not work. Example: Color space - SRGB, resize to fit checked, long edge set to 10in and resolution set to 250 gives me a image of 24in X 34in @ 72ppi. If I do nothing but save as a tiff I get 8in X 10in @ 250ppi. It works fine for everything except JPEG. Help please!

If you care about the resolution tag, do not check "minimize metadata". Otherwise your 24x36@72 ppi is EXACTLY the same image as a 10" long dimension image @250 ppi, because they are both 2500 pixels in the long dimension. Lightroom scaled your image correctly in other words, it just neglected to write the silly resolution metadata tag to your file, which it only writes to jpegs when you do not check the minimize metadata checkbox. The only thing that matters is the number of pixels. P.S. if you really want a 4x5 ratio image, you'll first need to crop it in Develop. The 24x36 implies it is still at a 2x3 ratio.

Copy and paste buffers not working correctly in iOS 8.1m

Both iPads2's in my family arsenal are exhibiting what I believe to be a bug in the iOS8.1 (perhaps corrected by 8.1.1?), in the cut/copy & paste buffer stack.
When invoking the operation to copy and paste data from one application to another, the paste action consistently selects the previous (e.g., stack level 2 rather than 1 or Top) data as what is to be pasted.
In other words, if you have used the copy and paste routine twice, the second pasting will supply one with the paste data from the first operation, rather than the desired data from the second copy and paste operation.
Copy and paste appears to work correctly from within a single application, but consistently fails when copying data from one application to another.
Does anyone know of a work-around for this bug? Is it a bug that others have identified? Is there a new selection filter menu option for copy and paste operations, and what method is used to invoke the menu?
I hope this is addressed soon, as I use Cut/Copy & Paste operations extensively (I've already had Carpal Tunnel Release surgery once and don't relish a repeat performance, no matter how successful the first was in correcting the damage).
Any clues as to what's going on here?
thanks in advance,
labernache

All you can do is simply see if iOS 8.1.1 helps you with this. With some people it has, and others it has not. I would also recommend doing a clean install of your system, too.
Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

Copy and Paste does not work in filter statement of table data

I am using SQL Developer 3.0.04. I can not copy nor paste in the filter criteria when watching or editing table data. Is it a bug or do I have to change some settings?

Hi Sven,
I did a bit more research and now I hope we will be talking about the same thing. Bear with me and let me clarify. In terms of my prior comment about the process necessary to copy a value from a data cell into the clipboard, I was totally off-base. Once the focus is on a data cell, all one need do is Edit menu|Copy or ctrl-c. I have no idea why I had trouble with that yesterday.
Anyway, getting back to what's relevant with regard to your issue:
1) If something is in the clipboard, then both Edit menu|Paste and ctrl-v work for a data cell target.
2) If something is in the clipboard, then Edit menu|Paste fails for a data tab filter target.
3) If something is in the clipboard, then ctrl-v works for a data tab filter target.
So obviously conditions exist where pasting to the data tab filter can work. But here is a scenario where I found a problem similar to what you describe:
1) For the EMP table in SCOTT, display all employees in the data tab.
2) Apply a filter. For example, filter on JOB='SALESMAN'. Now 4 salesman, all in dept 30, are displayed.
3) Next you decide to view only employees in dept 30.
4) Copy the value 30 from the DEPTNO column. Carelessly put the focus on ENAME column in one of the data tab rows.
5) Next focus on data tab filter to blank out JOB='SALESMAN' predicate. Drop down to select DEPTNO. Append an = sign.
6) Finally Edit menu|Paste. Instead of seeing DEPTNO=30 in the filter, we see...
7) The filter contains nothing and is disabled (greyed out).
8) The ENAME column of the prior focus now contains the value 30 rather than the a salesman's name.
Your case may be different/more complex, but at least this simple case demonstrates in a repeatable fashion what I noticed but didn't describe very well yesterday. I have logged the following internal bug:
Bug 12753266 - EDIT MENU PASTE INTO DATA TAB FILTER DOES NOT WORK AND MAY DISABLE THE FILTER
Using the rollback button, blanking out any filter value and hitting enter displays all original employee rows.
Regards,
Gary

Scale Attribute Times and Paste Attributes not working as did before

Using Copy and then Paste Attributes as I have done many times before upgrading the FCP 5, the option to "Scale Attribute Times" is grayed out and the keyframes are not placed correctly. This happens even if the cips are the exact same duration. I read a post from November that states that this feature is not working is FCP 5. If that is so, has anybody found a work-around or know of a fix?
Dual 1.25 G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) FCP 5.0.1

The problem is that the content is replaced correctly but the keyframes move (they were originally at the beginning and end and now they are not). The "Scale Attribute times" box is grayed out.
I just tested this out and, from what I can tell, FCP (5) now needs Timecode to match in order for Paste Attributes > Content (with keyframes intact) to work as we'd like.
I placed a 10 sec image - with (the default settings of) In at 1:00:00;00 and Out at 1:00:09;29 - in the Timeline. I set keyframes for Scale & Rotation at the In and Out points (100% & 0 degrees -> 200% & 360 degrees)
When using the Paste Attributes > Content method with a second image having identical timecode In & Out, it works fine.
However, if the second clip's timecode is not the same - say In is set at 1:00:02;00 and Out set at 1:00:11;29 - then the content will be pasted but the keyframes will not adjust for the new timecode. They remain at the first clip's points (that is,1:00:00;00 and 1:00:09;29).
So, you can try to match timecode (which isn't always convenient) or you can...
Select the first clip & copy
Overwrite/replace the (first) clip with the second clip
Paste Attributes > Basic Motion (or whatever attributes you're pasting, except Content)
Or was that a workflow you were hoping to avoid?
