Why can't I copy and paste from Illustrator to Flash?

I have this silly but frustrating problem. I've drawn a
series of objects in Illustrator and have copied and pasted many of
them into separate frames in Flash and all of a sudden they won't
paste. There are 3 objects I'm trying to paste onto each frame and
2 of them will paste, but 1 won't. I don't have anything locked and
I have no clipping masks in Illustrator. They will copy and paste
in Illustrator. I've tried copy and pasting them separately, I've
tried opening a new Flash document and pasting, I've tried
restarting my computer. Does this sound like just another freak
thing or does anyone have any ideas? Is there some keyboard
shortcut I might have bumped in Flash to change some hidden
setting...? But then why is it just 1 of the 3 objects that won't
paste?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I think I tried all the options and none worked. Even so, the clipboard options say "Clipboard on Quit". That sounds like it has nothing to do with between active programs.
I'm able to paste from CS5 TO CC though.

Why can't I copy and paste from word into websites?

Hi,
I have been accepted as a writer for 3 online publishers, but cannot copy and paste examples of my work from Word into their websites. The clipboard behaviour seems erratic - sometimes I can copy text from websites and paste into Word, sometimes not.
Can somebody help? It is vital that I am able to supply examples of my written work without having to physically re-type everything or send the examples as attachments.
Thanks,
AM

Do you wait until the Copy button turns blue and then does the Paste button turns blue when you paste the text?

Why can't I copy and paste from my notepad?

I am trying to "copy" from my notepad and "paste" it to another site. It won't work!! Is it the other site or something I am doing wrong??

I touch the screen, then touch "select all", then touch "copy". (I'm
trying to paste it into a dating site - no laughing, please?!?! - in
reply to a message someone sent me.) I go to the site and touch
and hold my finger where I want to paste it, but when I have the option
of touching "paste", nothing pastes. Sure has me baffled!!!!????

Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library?

Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library? I want to have a copy of the music on iTunes so when I update to a newer version of iOS I don't lose my music. And no I didn't buy this music off iTunes and neither will I use iTunes Match.

There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
All of your media should be in iTunes already.
If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

Is there a reason why I can't copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop

Before the last update, I was able to copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, and now I can't. Which really suck. Is there a new way I would have to do it?

I'm not privy to what impact the latest update my have had, but I believe Photoshop still has "its own" clipboard, and there may still be a tendency under certain conditions for it to become inaccessible from/to the rest of the system. Reboot everything and try again.

(v 5.5) I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another.

I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another in Illustrator (5.5). This started happening a few days ago. Restarting Illustrator and also my computer (Mac) didn't help. Any ideas?

To clarify: If I select an object in layer 1 using command/c or command/x then select layer 2 and press command/v the object gets pasted back into layer 1 instead of layer 2. I've tried everything I can think of and can't correct the problem.
Now the only way I can get an object from one layer to another is to drag it into another layer in the layers window.

Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?

Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?
At the moment it just appears as "Vector Smart Object" in Photoshop and I have to take another step and change the layer name.
Thank you!

Not that I know. PS doesn't care for these kinds of things and uses its own naming system.

Can't always make sense of its effect, but I suspect what your seeing comes under the influence of Photoshop > Preferences > General > Options > Resize Image During Place

Keynote and transfer of presentations why can't I copy and paste?

Hey Community!
     I've always been a Mac lover, but now....... I'm ready to do somethin'...... Very frustrated with update to new Mavericks and Keynote V.6. I have updated my presentations from the previous version of Keynote into the new version. I am trying to copy and paste elements from multiple seperates presentations into one presentation. When I paste the presentation into my "master", the font size changes, format changes. It's a pain in the (beep, boop, poop).
I get a message: OSX Spotlight search information was removed".
     I'm really confused. Why can't one just copy and paste from one show to another when its in the same program!?

If I understand correctly you want the title to appear on top of a later video clip so both title and clip are visible.   The problem is the "whites" background which is both making the background opaque and stopping you from pasting it above another clip. If you just select and drag the title by itself, the background will be transparent so the video clip below will show through. You should also be able to copy and paste it directly above the clip you want.
If you want different parts of the title to have a special effect you will have to edit each instance after you have made and positioned the copies.
I hope this helps - or have I misunderstood?

Why can't you copy and paste text from the Dictionary widget?

I use this dictionary often, but I wish that I was able to copy and paste the text from it.

Just use the Dictionary application in the Applications folder. You will have no problem copying and pasting text from the full application. I just tried it and it works fine.

Can no longer copy and paste from MS apps

Could be a nightmare a-brewin'.
As webmaster for a transit company, I'm responsible for
updating the schedules for our 50+ bus routes three times a year on
piercetransit.org. So I opened one up today in Dreamweaver 8 and
launched our brand new version of Excel Mac 2008 to copy and paste
schedule times into a web page. And it didn't work!
Up til now, Excel has been an irreplaceable tool for
converting data from our weird, 70's-era bus scheduling software
[Hastus] into something Dreamweaver can understand. But no matter
how much I fiddle with options under Copy and Paste preferences,
today I got nothing -- literally. It's as if there's nothing
whatsoever on the clipboard. Earlier, I'd noticed the same problem
with our new version of Word, but since I rarely paste anything
into Dreamweaver from Word, I was only mildly irked by it. Given
the thousands of bus arrival and departure times on our site,
however, the inability to insert data from Excel into DMW would be
a disaster!
Am I just missing something, or is this some kind of "How
dare you use anything other than one of OUR products?"
gotcha from Evilco?

This has been an issue with Office 2008 for Mac even with the
CS3 version of Dreamweaver. I believe the only workaround is to do
a paste special as text only but you will lose formatting this way.
You can do a search on this forum also for other suggestions
because I didn't follow the old topics before because I didn't
upgrade till recently, but there might be some other tricks around
here.

In FF33 why can't I copy and paste (any) selected text/photo, etc.?

Whether in an email or from a web page or even a URL, I select then try to copy and paste and am unable to do so. Use an iMac with (primarily) Yahoo email, MS Word.
I just now tried to select troubleshooting info from this page and no go.
Thanks.
