Suddenly unable to copy & paste in Indesign CS5

I was working in a document, and I'm now unable to use copy & paste. Keyboard shortcuts do not work and items are inactive in the top menu.
Any idea what's wrong ?

Unable to copy+paste from Illustrator CC 2014 to Fireworks CS6

It seems to me like Illustrator CC 2014 is riddled with bugs and compatibility issues. The latest one I have found is that I am unable to copy+paste directly from Illustrator CC 2014 to Fireworks CS6. However it does work when I copy+paste from Illustrator CC 2014 > Illustrator CC (previous version) > Fireworks CS6. Anyone else have this problem?

CS3 & Leopard - can't copy/paste from InDesign Illustrator?

I have just loaded Leopard and then CS3 onto my new MacBook Pro and then upgraded my existing iMac with another Leopard and the same CS3. Neither machine will allow me to copy/paste images or text boxes from InDesign > Illustrator - It appears to try to (shows the working color wheel - then nothing happens) It will allow me to select/copy the text WITHIN a text frame but will paste text only - not attributes????? I can copy /paste Illustrator >InDesign. also have no problem between Photoshop and either of InDesign or Illustrator?????? Have spoken to Adobe - they have no solution at this point and are 'getting back to me'.... Not a problem on Tiger/CS2 on iMac before upgrade. Appreciate your help!

Possibly running out of ram since it needs to rasterize for photoshop. Save the ai file then let photoshop open it.

Suddenly I cannot copy paste between applications.

Has anyone dealt with this issue? I used to be able to copy and paste between all my applications.
Now I can copy from one web browser to another, and from one Word document to another, but I cannot copy/paste from the web to Word or vice versa.
I'd appreciate some help!

Unable to copy/paste text or HTML to DW

Hi everyone!
I'm new to this but maybe someone can help. I can't copy/paste text or HTML to Dreamweaver. I get two different error messages when trying to do so. I am attaching screen prints of them. Has anyone had this problem?

There are a number of reasons why JavaScript errors could be
occurring. Adobe covers some of these errors on this page:

Unable to copy & paste text in Godaddy email

I've don't use Safari, but wasn't able to recreate the issue just now. But in Firefox, my primary browser, this has become a major issue over the last few months with using Godaddy webmail. It wasn't as noticeable an issue at first, but now it's with every email. I've also deleted all cookies and cache files in my history.
I frequently use templates to compose new emails to clients. If I try to copy text from a template to paste into an email, none or only part of the text will actually paste. If I try to paste the text again, the same thing happens.
Sometimes, if I try to paste text, a big white space will appear with only part of the text. Other times the text will copy in a completely random spot in the email, such as the very top or bottom.
I've found that there are sometimes dead zones in the Compose Email window, and if I can space far enough away from that a bad spot, it'll then allow ALL the text I've copied to be pasted correctly. I will then try and delete all the extra space. Sometimes this works, other times it will then also delete the pasted text. This then seems to be some kind of formatting issue, but the Goddady Browser Tool says that there aren't any compatibility issues with the Firefox.
This process is now doubling and tripling the time it takes to compose emails that I already have templates created for. Please help!!

I've tried that also (that's mainly how I cut and paste), and it still happens. When I called godaddy and explained that it looked like a formatting issue, the rep said he'd never heard of this being an issue on their end.
I then read online that others had similar issues using godaddy webmail with firefox.
I've switched to safari for now, but I'd love to still be able to email from firefox.

Unable to copy-paste into a few fields in Safari

Hello, can anybody tell me why you cannot paste text copied from programs, such as Excel into some of the fields in Safari? Take this website as an example: http://www.banamex.com/estudiosfinanzas/finanzas/divisasmetales.htm
it is a currency converter. at the bottom right there is a field "Cantidad". You cannot paste anything in there, you have to type. If you open that same link in another browser, you will be able to paste into that field. Can anybody help? Thanks very much!

Hi Jorge
your example is the same for me in Safari & Firefox, neither allow pasting, but Camino does.
It's due to a javascript function deliberately set on that field to allow (validate) only certain numbers (no letters etc, only 2 decimal places) - disable javascript & it works more normally.
Presumably, Firefox & Safari present pasted data in a way that triggers the website javascript function to reject it, regardless of the correct content.

Unable to Copy/Paste Named Range within Same Worksheet

Excel becomes unresponsive when copying a named range over one column. I have multiple sheets and it works fine on all but two of them. This is not just a macro issue as I can't get the paste to work even when doing it manually outside of the
macro. I've tried deleting the name and recreating it, but to no avail. Has anyone else had this issue?
Code:
    Application.Goto Reference:="Copy_CP"
    Selection.Copy
    Range("B6").Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
Thanks,
C.

Hi,
I suggest to copy without selecting the ranges. it will save a lot of time
Sub Test()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Range("Copy_CP").Copy Range("B6")
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Unable to copy paste from a popup that is part of a specific software. I can do this in IE, but not in Firefox

We use BMC Remedy (ITSM) to track our work and it has a popup for the expiry date for each ticket. When I click on the link, a box pops up with the information, everything except the expiry date can be highlighted, but it is the expiry date that I need to copy. I can copy this info when in IE, but not in Firefox. We are not allowed to install anything on our computers directly from the internet.

You are using a version of Firefox that is 10 versions behind it's supported version. It is not safe to use on the internet. Please either update to Firefox 30, or contact your company's IT department for an update.

I am unable to copy and paste text from mozilla, clipboard error

Hi-
It seems I am suddenly unable to copy and paste anything from mozilla into other text editors (word, wordpad, notepad).
I am unable to use ctrl c or v, when trying to do Edit-copy or paste it seems as though nothing is "recognized" by Mozilla.
I'm using a netbook running Win7.
In an effort to fix this problem I restarted firefox, started in safe mode, disabled all plugins, returned to default settings, and have done basically everything except for uninstalling and reinstalling.
Are there suggestions? I looked in older posts, but I also do not have the pushow.dll(or something like it) or the new.net(or comparable) malware so I cant get rid of that either.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Firefox button > Web Developer > Error Console or {Ctrl + Shft + J} from the keyboard
Do you have any messages relating specifically to that error? <br />
You can right-click a message and use Copy to get that message into the clipboard - and then Paste it here. (If that works.)
Beyond that, try a new Profile (don't Delete your current Profile). <br />

Sudden Copy paste failure & then return

Hello,
I Just had a sudden failure of copy & paste feature whilst in feedback
attempting to paste a message. Then also when i typed my reply nothing there in preview, tried to paste something on mail message nothing tried drag & drop nothing. This is the log message, from the console I am not sure of the meaning. Does any one else know? Then it returned, as sudden as it was gone. This is on the FP 10.3.9.
Would this be a font problem/ conflict ?? ( it worked just now )
Any advice, guidance would be so very appreciated.
Thank you.

Why is Copy & Paste not working on CS5 on my Mac?

I'm using two different .psd files - on one, copy/paste (or Cmd+C, then Cmd+V) works perfectly after I have made a selection - it creates a new layer. On the other, this doesn't happen at all. I would attache the file but I don't think I can...
In any case, they are both simple files for Photoshop beginners. The one started out the same as the other, but I went through some basic steps in my learning, and now I am unable to copy/paste in the second file...
Does anyone have any ideas why this might have occurred? Thanks.

I don't know why the problem is happening, but an alternative to try is Cmd+J to duplicate a selection to a new layer.
You can attach a screenshot of Photoshop when the problem is occurring. It's important that the Layers panel is open in the screenshot. Use Shift+Cmd+3 for a screenshot of the whole screen, which will be dumped on the desktop as a PNG file. Attach the PNG to a forum message by using the little camera button above the message entry field of a reply to this post. Note that attachments won't make it to the forum by email.

Why can't I copy/paste album art in latest version of iTunes?

I have the latest version of iTunes and I am unable to copy/paste album art from the internet. Whenever I try to copy/paste album art from Amazon, it just displays a blank box. I was able to copy/paste album art just fine before the last iTunes update. Any suggestions?

Artwork seems to cut/paste in my situation, but does not "attach" to the file so the icons appear as generic in a list view or when viewing the file using "get info". Also noticed that cut and paste does not work for text in the comments window either, especially if the copied text contains style changes (underlines, etc.) or hyperlinks.
Also, if importing AIFF files into iTunes, the song that plays upon import (usually the highest numbered track) will not accept artwork no matter what, unless you convert to another file type (like AAC). The only workaround is to make a copy of the last song, rename it with a higher track number, then import both at the same time. Then just delete the higher numbered track. This has been an on again/off again problem for at least the last 3-4 versions of iTunes.
MacBook Pro/OS X 10.6.8/iTunes 10.4(80)

Copy/paste functions only work intermittently.

Windows 8; FF 26 -- not working: cut & paste -- not always. I've noticed that copy is greyed out on the edit menu so I can't even do it that way. I have to drag the selected text.
I don't have zone alarm or any of the other things other people have installed. Is there a solution to this yet?
Thank you.

Hi lotusgreen!
Are you unable to copy/paste only in Firefox or is it the same for IE and Chrome?
