  • Why won't illustrator Cs5 allow me to copy and paste layers when they aren't locked?

    I am working on a project and when I try to copy and paste unlocked layers to paste them in to another image it doesn't paste. The only thing it pastes is the text unformatted. I tried resetting the settings by removing the setting file to see if I can set Illustrator back to square one and it isn't working. See Picture for before (copy) and After (paste)

    I am also using windows 8 on a pc. I would say it was the OS but it was working fine untill yesterday. I am begging for help on this. It is really ruining my work flow today.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    I just opened the document "san_jan_email.ai" and this is what i see:
    i didn't try to copy and past yet, cause the document it seems fine, have you fixed it? otherwise i can say another stupid thing, i dont know if it's cause the document is too "heavy" for your computer? have you seen if you are not going out of ram or of some hard disk space? at first i could thinking about resetting the settings in Illustrator but since you just said that you already did it, and also that you tried with a CS6 copy, i think it's not that the case.
    edit: i tried to copy and paste as well, for me it's working.

  • What happened to the edit tab that used to display at the top allowing me to copy and paste website addresses sent to me in e-mails?

    There used to be a display at the top of the page that had tabs for edit and other items that are no longer there with FF4. Am I missing something? I have checked the drop-down at the upper left but can find no way to copy/cut and paste while in e-mail mode.

    You can find the Edit menu and the associated icons in the drop down list if you click the orange Firefox button.

  • Copy and paste between projects???

    Hello,
    iMovie '09 allows users to copy and paste clips between projects, but it do so with affecting quality. I mean is it the same as dragging clips from Events?
    NOTE: I won't be home to check this for a week and I'm trying to help a friend via e-mail. So any help would be great.
    Thank you.

    It does not affect quality. When you copy a clip from a project, you are copying a reference to certain frames in an event.

  • How to enable copy and paste in Firefox

    I have tried over and over and over and I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out how to configure Firefox to allow me to copy and paste. I've downloaded EVER SINGLE EXTENSION YOU HAVE and some I found online!!!! HOW DO I COPY AND PASTE??? And please don't be a smart aleck and tell me to right click..I tried that. I've tried everything it's not working...

    If right-clicking doesn't work, it could indicate that the site is intercepting and blocking Firefox's regular context menu. Some sites are cheeky and show you a copyright notice when you right-click.
    You can change a setting so that you always get Firefox's right-click context menu. If the site has its own menu, Firefox's will appear in front of it. To access the site's menu after making this change, you have to carefully dismiss Firefox's menu with a single press of the Esc key. (I think I've only seen one site where ''both'' menus disappear when I press Esc, so it nearly always works.)
    Want to try it?
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''context''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''dom.event.contextmenu.enabled''' preference to switch it from true (sites can detect and re-place the right-click menu) to false (they can't).
    Does that help?

    What error are you getting? What is it your are trying to copy/paste? Is your email set to plain text for some reason?

  • Copy and paste applications folder?

    Hey,
    I used to back up my powerbook to an external drive partition using Disk Utility but niw it throws up an error after a few seconds of copying over, and I can't format the external drive as it has other important stuff on the other partitions. So I've been copying and pasting my home folder ( which works fine ) to this partition.
    What I was wondering was if I copy over my Apps folder too, in the event of my Mac dying and a new one arriving, would I be able to import my Apps folder via copy and paste and have everything sitting like it is now??
    Or does anyone know why disk utility crokes everytime??
    many thanks
    John

    I'm not sure why Disk Utility won't do what you wish, - what is the error it gives you? - but I don't think that using copy and paste will work on your Applications folder.
    The reason is that while some applicaions are self contained, many have references to folders in the /Library or /System/Library (for instance any the required an Admin password to install) as well as to your own Home/Library folder, and any of these can only be re-installed with the supplied installers.
    Instead of this, you could CLONE the hard drive which would make a complete copy of the drive on your external disk. There are several apps which will do this for you.
    In relation to copying and pasting your home folder, have you considered using software that will make incremental back ups (that is, only copy the changed files, which is a lot faster. There are many out there from the very reasonable to the horrendously expensive.

  • Within the Sendible, I cannot copy and paste links (when not hyperlinked). The help info indicated it was connected to a Mozilla profile issue. But I cannot make these changes on my own. Please help! PKennedy

  • JTextPane and Copy and paste

    Hi All,
    I have a JTextPane inside applet and It doesn't seem to copy anything outside the applet.
    Is there any way to copy and paste the content outside the applet ??

    There are security restrictions in place with applets. Since an applet is a foreign object downloaded to your PC, it has limited access to PC components such as the Clipboard.
    You need to digitally sign your Applet. I have always had problems with the clipboard and applets even after signing them. I found that newer version of Java Plugin still did not allow me to copy and paste to/from a swing component.
    I hope you have better luck.

  • Copying and pasting text inserts

    Hi all,
    When creating certain projects, I like to use the same font size, colour, style etc throughout the whole project. So I would love to be able to copy a text insert and then paste it many times into other parts of the project, thereby only having to change the text content. At the moment I can't seem to be able to do this and its a bit frustrating having to set up each text insert from scratch every time.
    Years ago I used an old Windows-based video editing package called 'Arcsoft'. It is light years behind iMovie in so many respects but it did allow you to copy and paste text inserts which was really helpful.
    Can anyone advise me? Is there something I am missing?
    Thanks, Guy

    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:

  • Does iPhoto '11 have the copy and paste function?

    On my old MacBook the iPhoto allowed for the copying and pasting of adjustments, on my iPhoto '11 where the copy and paste option used to be there's nothing.

    Terence -
    I tried that, but it didn't work .. and I discovered why.  The key was in the last word of your sugg's first line:  "move."  I don't want to MOVE the pic, I want to COPY it to another event, and following your suggs produced this box:
    So, with your and the Old Toad's help, I now see I was pounding sand - can't do it!  Unless we can get the iPhoto developer gurus to add that capability, we'll have to consider this case ... Closed.
    Thanks, guys!

  • Secure Copy and Paste in Sandboxed mode

    Hi,
    while working on copy-and-paste of mathematical formulae for our ActivMath learning environment, a web-based one, I, of course, chopped to the problem that sandboxes (be them in Java applets, JNLP, JavaScript, Flash, ...) refuse the access to the clipboard.
    That's partially survivable thanks to drag-and-drop...
    I realized, however, that the class TransferHandler could be easily adapted to allow a secure copy and paste that would not touch, itself, the system-clipboard hence, should be allowed to sandboxes:
    - a copy action can be requested using standard gestures. In a browser, this includes the browser's copy menu-item and related shortcut. In many native components, the shortcut is actually working. Such an action would then trigger trusted code and invoke the handler's createTransferable method and put it into the clipboard.
    - similarly a paste action can be requested using standard gestures and invoke the importData method.
    Can anyone tell me how insecure that would be ?
    thanks
