Problems cutting and pasting into illustrator 4 after upgrading to MAC OS 10.6.44

Hi-
I've been using my copy of CS4 illustrator without a problem until I recently upgraded to a macbookpro running OS10.6.4
When I copy items, any item into illustrator it puts a large black box around where the text is.
When I open up old documents I created on illustrator I can copy and past those text items without a problem. here is an example of what Illustrator is doing to my pastes:
heres what it is supposed to look like:
Here is what the paste looks like in illustrator now: I can't figure out how to fix this. Any suggestions? This is really putting a damper on my publication process.

If you have AppleCare, you should have a simplified Tech Tool Pro CD already. It is not part of Mac OS X. Tech Tool Pro is a third party utility package that helps diagnose and repair some problems that might occur with a Mac. Just Google for "Tech Tool Pro" (including the double quotes) and you will find tons of information on it. If you don't have Tech Tool Pro, its available for purchase at any store that sells Mac software.

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.

CS4 cutting and pasting from illustrator expands appearance

I'm working within CS4 taking a few simple vectors and pasting into ID, Everything seems to work except a few images which the strokes are converted to fills.
The illustrator file has multiple artboards but other items cut and paste perfectly.
Is there anyway to fix this? I've tried throwing a clipping mask around it, grouping, ungrouping, dragging... And I can't get it to work.
Here's the file if it'll help: https://www.yousendit.com/download/Y1RwcHBFNXZCMTVMWEE9PQ

Do you know where the complex vs. simple starts and ends?
At the point that ID doesn't support the constuct natively.
I know that answer is less than useless. If you can figure it out, you'll probably also have a great future at the track or as a stock picker (and I don't mean in a warehouse).

Cut and Paste into Keynote

When I cut and paste an image from another keynote or a full slide (same dimensions), I often get a question mark in a box with the slide/image being 'x' out. How do I resolve? Thanks.

In Numbers I made sure the table was selected as a graphic item:
Then copied and paste into Keynote:
See if this helps!

Cut and paste into FileMakerPro

I've been poking around in the Pages 09 trial, and am concerned about my inability to do some very simple stuff, like cut and paste text from Pages to FileMaker Pro, or translating a document into a text document, so I can Import it into filemaker.
Am I missing something here?

For a cut and paste, the soluce is always the same:
copy to clipboard
run this huge script
set the clipboard to (the clipboard as text)
paste in FileMaker (or in an other document)

Cut and Paste into JTextPane of Applet

I am just a JTextPane in an Applet. I want to allow the user to cut and paste text from word into my applet but it seems like it will not transfer. When I transfer the applet to a application it works or if I run the applet in an applet viewer , it works also. When I run the applet over the net into IE, I cannot cut and paste???
There seems to be two different clip boards. One in the applet and one on the desktop. Any suggestions out there??? Help!

Bingo! It is applet security at work. You can not access the system clipboard from an applet. You must sign the applet and then accept the signature when you run the applet or change your policy file (doing the second has many security risks and is not recommended).
If the applet is signed you will not have to add a key listener, just focus on the text field and type ctrl+v and it will paste for you.

Can't Copy and Paste into Illustrator CS3 from Firefox 3!

I read these things all the time, but first time posting, so you KNOW this problem is annoying me.
I could always copy and paste from Firefox 2 into Illustrator CS2/CS3. However, once I upgraded to Firefox 3 I no longer can! I get the annoying "Quicktime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture." I can't believe more people aren't complaining more about this. Save your time posting about "Illustrator is a vector program, and Photoshop is pixel based," I know I have been able to do it before so that is not the issue. Any light that could be shed on the situation would be great! Thanks in advance.

I found that FF3 originally renamed .jpegs to the JFIF format when draging and dropping to the desktop, and it was not until March when the code was finalized that that you could drag and drop to your desktop without the conversion. You get around the illustrator CS3 problem a number of ways...drap and drop to the desktop and then to illustrator CS3, Drap and drop to photoshop CS3 and then to Illustrator CS3 or save as to the desk top, or use an older version of Firefox. I am currently tyring to determine if the JFIF renaming issue is what is preventing the direct drag and drop to Illustrator, and if there is a fix for issue. Any help out there or ideas would be helpful.

Since I have updated to 9.0.1 I cannot cut and paste into my forum. (Im Admin so you can see this is big trouble for me).. cant do it in my geek forum either yet it works fine in Gmail

I have managed to 'fool' it a few times by pasting into a gmail then going direct to my forum and repeating the process, but if its a cut n paste from a news site, forget it. It will not accept anything into a quote box or img's.
I work in a news room.. please help.

Trouble cutting and pasting in Illustrator CS6

I have several eps files that I cannot select in order to copy and paste - I get a pencil with a circle/line through. I believe the file was created in CS5, so it should select. I have been able to copy other files from this source, but not the latest three files I've received.
Any ideas?

Hi Larry,
I spoke to the original artist and the reason I was having trouble is that the image by intention can’t be copied and pasted, but it CAN be placed (you were right – it is locked, but I can’t unlock it) – so I no longer have a problem. As usual it was my own limited education in the software. If anyone else has this problem, the resolution is to be in the document where you want to place the image, and access “place” from the file menu.

How can I cut and paste into a calendar's event notes?

How can I paste into a calendar event's note section? The attachement way is too cumbersome.

You are trying to copy a link, it is most likely in a different color such as the words "Microsoft's own forums" in his post. In Word highlight the word or words, control click on them, select Hyperlink, then Edit Hyperlink, then delete the link from the top box. It will then have a button asking if you want to "Remove Link", click on it.

I can't cut and paste any images into apple mail

I have had my MacBook Pro for over three years now, without much trouble, but recently I've been unable to send images that I have cut and pasted into Apple mail. I can attach an image that I have saved in my photos and it will send but I can not send an image that I have cut and pasted from the internet.
I am using a gmail pop account and firefox as my primary browser. It took me a few times to figure this out as the image appears to be attached in my mail, but is removed when I send, such that if I have text and an image in an email the recipient receives only the text. Before I hit send I can see both the text and the image.
I have tried starting again in safe mode and repairing permissions. That has not helped. I can login to my gmail regularly and cut and paste images with no problem.
This is exceptionally frustrating.

Hello. In 2012 you answered a query about the following problem:
"I have had my MacBook Pro for over three years now, without much trouble, but recently I've been unable to send images that I have cut and pasted into Apple mail. I can attach an image that I have saved in my photos and it will send but I can not send an image that I have cut and pasted from the internet."
This problem started with me this morning and it does not happen when I open a test account. The thread stops after you asked if it occurs in the test account, did you ever find a solution to this issue? I am using mac mail 3.6 on system 10.5.8.
I hope you receive this, I have never posted in one of these forums.
Thanks in advance,

How to cut-and-paste image into forms

using forms9i, is it possible to cut and paste into a forms image field (database blob field) in the browser?

Jeff,
as far as I know this isn't possible. We only support drag and drop operations for text.

With emails when I send a link it cannot be opened but has to be cut and pasted by the recipient - how can I avoid this

When I send a link to a page or website via email (Hotmail or Yahoo) it cannot be opened by the recipient. Instead it needs to be cut and pasted into their browser bar for them to open it.
This problem only started after loading Firefox on my computer and I wonder if you can help in any way.

Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each.<br />

Cut and Paste Photos iphoto 09

I was experiencing the same problem like the one described in the archived topic with the title "CUT AND PASTE PHOTOS" (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1897601&tstart=120). In few words I wasn't able to cut and paste a picture as when I tried to paste the picture to another event the right click paste command was grey.
I finally figured out a solution. In the 'Photos' in the Source list select the photo you would like to move, then right click and select cut. Select 'Events' in the Source list (left column), select the event you want to move the photos, the event will open in the photo library mode and you will be able to right click and paste the photo.
This doesn't work for Copy. Although paste is not grey, the photo can not move.

The reason you can't cut and paste into another Event is that when you cut the photo goes into iPhoto's Trash bin and you can't paste because a photo can be in only one Event at a time.
You can move a photo from one event to another by clicking and dragging.
