When copied/pasted, My contents in a project won't paste into another one.

I have 1.5 hour worth of video in one project, and 1.5 hours worth of pictures in another project, but when I copy either one of them, and paste it into the other project, it doesn't paste and acts as if I didn't paste it, and then freezes up...which means i have to force quit it. how do i fix this?

What might be easier and less taxing on iMovie is to just output each project individually (iMovie is not really stable with longer video over 1hour in length). Go to Share > Export Movie.. (choose Large Size) > And save it to the desktop. Export both projects separately from one another. Then create a new Event Folder, import both of those projects into that new Event. Then drag them both into a new project then Export Movie... to the desktop. That should keep iMovie from becoming unstable and crashing.

IPhoto '11 (9.1.3) moves duplicated photo AND original automatically when copy/paste into another event

I recently "upgraded" from 9.1.1 to 9.1.3 on OS X 10.6.8. I prefer an older version of iPhoto.
The main reason I "upgraded" was because I wanted to try to fix the issue that I have whenever syncing my iphone, which is that my iPhone would not use the "Make Key Photo" image that I selected in iPhoto as my main picture when scrolling through my albums/events in my iphone.
Since this upgrade, I'm having an issue whenever I duplicate an image in iPhoto and cut the image and paste the image into another event, the duplicated image will paste AND the original automatically transfers/pastes itself into the event. When I go back to the original event that I duplicated the image in, I notice that the original image is no longer there because it is now in the event that I cut and pasted the duplicate in.
I was trying to fix the key photo being my real key photo versus when my iPhone is synced it makes the first image in the event the key photo, but now I would like to also fix the original photo from automatically moving itself with the duplicated cut/paste photo issue.
How can this be resolved?

This post by Terence Devlin is an excellent treatise on organizing photos with iPhoto: Better way to organize my images?: Apple Support Communities
It's bound to give you good ideas on applying the concepts discussed to your own needs.

Copying a flash file and pasting into another one...

I want to copy a .swf file I have and paste it into another one, frames and all. I have tried but nothing gets copied over correctly. Either that or my buttons are on a single frame.. and no longer act like a button with the -Over-Up-Down-Hit frames. Can this be done? please help...
Thanks Guys,
-Dedikation-

Select all of the timeline frame, right click the selection and choose Copy FRames. In the other file, Insert -> New Symbol -> MovieClip... etc... select the one keyframe in the empty movieclip's only layer, right click the selection and choose Paste Frames. All layers and frames should paste in as they were copied.

Why is Pages exporting .pdf for .jpg when I copy/paste into another application?

Someone sent me a document that has pictures in it. I want to copy the whole thing and just paste it into an e-mail to post to a blog that way, but when I do it converts all of the .jpg files to .pdf files. I've tried pasting into Mail, which is native to Apple, and this happens. I've tried pasting it to gmail, a web app, and this happens, so I'm sure this is happening on the part of pages and not the applications I'm importing into. How do I change that?
Please help! Thx
*P.S. And just out of frustration for Pages lately (due to no new updates in 3 years), why are there so few options to change in preferences and no support for external plug-ins (like Mendeley and other reference managers that work just fine with OpenOffice)?

PDF is the unique format available allowing Pages to transfert a mix of different objects to an other application. The fact that the app is an Apple or a third party one doesn't matter.
I'm just surprised by the fact that copying a single jpej object give the same result under Lion. I was not remembering that it behaved this way with older operating systems.
If you really want to pass the jpegs, you must enter in the internals of the Pages document.
Duplicate the azerty.pages document
rename the replicate as azerty.zip
Double click it.
You will get a folder named azerty.
It will contain several files including the wanted jpegs.
*P.S. And just out of frustration for Pages lately (due to no new updates in 3 years)
In three years, Pages evolved from
4.0 to 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.0.5, 4.1
As far as I know this means six updates.

As far as I know, Apple if ree to design its produces as it want.
iWork is not designed as a clone of OpenOffice which is a clone of M…oSoft Office.
Happily, one of the rules applying to Apple products design is :
++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++
Apple Human Interface Guidelines:
Apply the 80 Percent Solution
During the design process, if you discover problems with your product design, you might consider applying the 80 percent solution‚ that is, designing your software to meet the needs of at least 80 percent of your users. This type of design typically favors simpler, more elegant approaches to problems.
If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users. Even though that smaller group of power users is likely to have good ideas for features, the majority of your user base may not think in the same way. Involving a broad range of users in your design process can help you find the 80 percent solution.

I really hope that the Pages Preferences dialog will never resemble to Office one.

Clipboard issue- Automatically copying content past into another system across the network.

Hi,
I am facing issue related clipboard in all windows platform in our organization. Say example: Person A copying something from any application or browser in his system and when he is going to past into another apps(word file or text file) in the same system,
its pasting some other text content, which is copied in another system, which is using by person B. Again Person B when is going to copy and paste something in his system, pasting content is from person C's system. It is happening in all system in our organization.
It is very terrific problem, which is seen first time in my life. It is happening intermittently in all system.
Our organization is mainly R&D and software development company, Developers using windows clipboard in local system, but not
in another system thru n etwork or LAN. I have installed updated windows patch, Forefront antivirus in all system and also run scan. Not found any virus. We are continuously trying to identify the issue. Yet we did not get any solution.
We are enterprise customer of Microsoft and we using many enterprise solution of Microsoft. I hope any one can help me on the same.
Thanks,
Nirupam Dandapat

Hi Nirupam,
This is weird. Please disconnect the network from these computer to check if they work fine.
This is also might be caused by some third-party software conflict. In such situation, I would suggest you perform a clean boot in Windows clients to rule out the cause of third party programs.

CR duplication when Copy/Pasting text from a JTextArea

I have a typical scenario of having text in a JTextArea. When I select some of that text and try to paste it either to an external text editor or even in the same JTextArea, I am getting extra line spaces in the screen.
For example, if I have the following text:
<a id=1>
<b/>
</a>When I copy paste it, I get:
<a id=1>
<b/>
</a>When I looked to see what characters were being used for the CR, I see "\r\n". This is the standard line.seperator for Windows OS which is fine. When I save this text to a file using the Java I/O libraries, it is fine (no extra lines). But when copy/pasting it prints extra lines.
Has anyone had similar problems?

Has anyone had similar problems? No. How are you doing the copy/paste? Did you write your own routines or are you using the default Actions. By default, when a Document is loaded it will convert the "\r\n" end of line string to "\n" and store the single character in the Document. When you use the getText(..) method the enod of line string will be expanded to "\r\n" on a Windows system, but this should not happen in a copy/paste operation. How do you add data to your text area?
This section from the Swing tutorial on "Text Component Features" has a working example of using copy/paste:

Can't shown chinese text when copy & paste data from server to Outlook, Word & notepad, etc.( Office 2013)

Can't shown chinese text when copy & paste data from server to Outlook, Word & notepad, etc.( Office 2013)

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, when you copy & paste a data from server to Outlook, word, notepad, then you do not receive the Chinese text.
For Outlook, please follow these steps: -
Close and reopen Outlook in your western locale (or switch the windows system to your Western locale if you changed that),
Manually change the message from Western to Chinese encoding, which you can do in all versions up to Outlook 2007.
If you want to stay in your Chinese locale in Outlook 2007, then:
After you hit reply, go to the Option tab > More Options.
In the Encoding drop-down menu, select the Chinese encoding you are working in (Not the encoding used by the person who will receive the message)
Note:
To set the Chinese locale in all versions up to 2007 the controls are under.
Tools > Options. In Outlook 2010 File tab > Options > Advanced > International options.
Unicode (UTF-8)
is a good setting for multilingual users.
Check the
Auto select 2007)/ Automatically select (2010) encoding box.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Dates change from Numbers generated xls file when copy/pasted

I've saved a Numbers '09 file as xls and sent it to an Excel 2003 for Windows user. The file looks great when they open it in Excel 2003. But, when they copy and paste data into a different Excel 2003 file, the date changes about 4 years, which seems to make this a 1900/1904 issue. But why? If Excel 2003 opened up the original xls file generated by Numbers ok, why can't the dates be copy and pasted into another Excel 2003 spreadsheet?

Apple uses a year pattern that starts with the first day of the first leap year in the 20th century.
Microsoft originally adopted a year pattern that began with the first day of the last year of the 19th century (1900) which, although it was a year divisible by 4, was not a leap year.
Later, MS added the 1904 start pattern, but kept the1900 start pattern as well.
What is likely happening in the case you describe is this:
When Numbers traslates the document into Excel format and saves it, Numbers apparenly includes the flag that tells Excl 'use the 1904 start for dates.' Excel open the file, reads the code, and sets the calendar accordingly.
When the Excel 2003 user then copies the data frm that document, the copy picks up only the date serial number(s), and does not get the coded flag identifying which date system is in use.
That data is then pasted into the new Excel document, and with no flag to tell it different, Excel uses its 'normal' setting—the calendar starts on January 1, 1900—and all dates are interpreted as being four years earlier than they were in the original Numbers table or in the first Excel sheet.
I'd assume there is a setting that can be changed in Excel. Where to find it/how to use it would be a good question for an Excel community discussion site. (Although it's possible an answer might arrive here as well.)

Barry

Why when I copy a cell and paste into another it pastes into the middle of three cells?

Why when I copy a cell and paste into another it pastes into the middle of three cells? I was very fond of using numbers as it was straightforward and much better than Excel. But I made the mistake of installing Mavericks and Numbers 3.0. Now it is worse than Word at doing what it thinks it wants to do rather than what you want to do. I can no longer copy a cell and paste it into another. For some reason on pasting, instead of pasting into just one other cell it pastes into the middle of three cells - what the ****?

Thanks Badunit for your quick response
I have found the answer - it is a incompatabilty between CopyPaste Pro and Numbers: -
Thanks dbg1596 - solved my problem with which I wasted a good couple of hours getting more and more frustrated with numbers 3.0
I had the same problem - copy a cell - paste into another cell and it created three vertical cells with the pasted data in the middle
Definitely a problem between CopyPaste Pro - one of the most useful aps on my Mac for the last many years
Once I quit CopyPaste Pro - no problem with pasting in Numbers 3.0
But I use CopyPaste Pro all the time
Have the folks responded to your query?
But I use CopyPaste Pro all the time - hope that it can be sorted sooner rather than later

Insert Edit when copy/pasting

Hey everyone,
I've been using FCP for years now, so I feel silly that I don't know the answer to this....
I am copy/pasting clips from one sequence to another, but want to insert clips into the edit points, rather than overwriting. Is there any shortcut or trigger for this?

Thanks!
One more question...
When cutting a clip is there a shortcut so that there's not a gap remaining?

Copying from one arrangement and pasting into another arrangement

Hi, I'm using Logic Express 8.
I'm wondering if there is a way to copy several tracks from one arrangement window into another. I've tried to do this simply by copying and pasting, but when I paste into the new arrangement window I get error messages and the tracks pasted into the new window have a speaker icon with an "X" through it - and obviously no sound.
Am I missing something, or perhaps this is simply a limitation that exists with using express instead of pro?
Thanks a lot.

You can do this by simply importing the data from one project to your new one. Check it out here.

It's not always the best soluce.
Example:
copy group of 3*3 cells from a Numbers table
Paste in Pages gives a table with every style attributes.
Paste and Match Style gives nine paragraphs of raw text, one by cell, exactly what we get when pasting in a TextEdit Rtf window and converting it to Text.
Running my good old huge script :
--{code}
set the clipboard to the clipboard as text
--{code}
then Paste, gives three paragraphs with cell's contents separated by TAB characters exactly as what we get when pasting in a TextEdit Text window.

Finished sequences is wrong timebase, cant copy paste into new sequence

I am coming onto a project finishing it for a first time editor and he cut 23.97 footage in a 29.99 seq, there are many time effects etc. I tried copy/pasting into a new seq but everything ends up in different places. I cant change my seq settings as it is grayed out, this is outside the realm of my experience any advice would be much appreciated! Cheers.

Different timebase...OOOCHIE! This is what people get for not paying attention, and what happens with the OPEN TIMELINE being able to edit almost any format. People don't see the RENDER BAR and just carry on...ugh.
Nothing to do but to copy and paste into a correct timebase, and manually close all the gaps. *****, but what you need to do. Been there....cleaning up after an editor.

When I paste into the form, it pastes 3 times. How do I get it to paste 1 time?

When I paste into the form, it pastes 3 times. How do I get it to paste 1 time? WANt to copy text from a pdf and enter into a form- 1 x.

My bet is that there are 3 copies of the same field one on top of another.
You can verify this by going to Form Edit mode and inspecting the fields
list.

When copied/pasted, My contents in a project won't paste into another one.
