Suddenly copy / paste works more Illustrator CS5

All of a sudden my copy / paste has stopped working. In Illustrator, if I select something, copy and then open a new file and try to paste what I copied in, nothing is displayed (although paste icons appear to be functional).

However, if I try to do the same and paste my selection in Word, paste icons are grayed out.

It happened all of a sudden...

I use a Windows XP computer with tons of memory.

Help, please!

Try a re-boot.

  • Copy paste - working in some guests of Win7, but not others?

    Using 10.0.1 on Windows 8 x 64 Workstation (installs clean).

    I have read most of the discussions on issues of paste and tried a bunch of suggestions, none work. The strange thing, I have 3 open guests: 2 Windows 7 x 64 guests and a guest Windows 8.1 and I noticed that there have a Win7 and Win 8.1 copy - paste works perfectly, one of the guests Win7 it won't work at all (in any way round).  I can't isolate why this one does not.

    Things tried - turning "isolation" market, comments reboot, uninstall tools-> restart comments-> reinstall the tools full screen off, close the comments leaving to run in the background and reopen the .vmx file, check the services that are running and the "isolation" options enabled.

    It doesn't seem to be a host issue since at the same time, all this happens, other guests are having no problem at all.  I can't understand more things to try, and of course if other guests are working fine it tends to limit to a problem of comments rather than host somehow?

    What can I try next? I've exhausted the usual stuff I know and sought the community pages.  It is a huge problem.

    Hello Foxxen2

    Yes, these are the basic troubleshooting steps.

    That you found during your research, sharing the Clipboard is provided via vmware tools.

    There are other possibilities that can interfere with your vmware tools installer.

    For example, some antivirus or anti-malware tools can prevent proper operation.

    Before I go any further can confirm you that in the Task Manager in the Windows 7 guest where the Clipboard sharing works that you have two instances of vmware tools running?

    1. a vmtoolsd of the task runs under the SYSTEM user

    2. a vmtoolsd of running under your current user task

    Another thing to check is if the other parts of the vmware tools work properly. As the feature slide - déposer.

    Can you - when your virtual machine is in windowed mode - just drag and drop a file from your host on the VM problem?

  • Copy paste works intermittently in windows 7

    To reproduce the problem

    1. Open outlook
    2. Open cutting tool
    3. SELECT and the area of the screen
    4. Click on copy
    5. Click outlook
    6. Click new e-mail message
    7. Fill in the sender and subject line
    8. Press CTRL + V in the content area
    9. Nothing is stuck, 'bing' sound occurs
    10. Return to snipping tool, press CTRL + V
    11. Go back to open the message
    12. Press CTRL + V
    13. Image is now stuck

    The question

    The problem occurs when measures are introduced between copy and paste all content or image from any application to any other application. If there is no further action between the two, then copy paste works. If he does not any in-between steps, copying and pasting the most likely dough. Do not paste the copied element one its bing appears i.e. press Ctrl + V, 'bing '. The problem occurs when you need to copy the content or image again seized can be pasted successfully. It's frustrating and tedious as my job requires a lot of copy and paste.

    I thought I saw a bug fixed for this MS just now, but I can find no longer.

    Please could you direct me to it?

    I've seen this happen too, and I finally understood what was the cause in my case (paste in Word, Outlook, Excel, or PowerPoint).  In my case, there are add-ins loaded into my office (Adobe Acrobat in my case).  Something about this supplement is empty the Clipboard when it is loaded.  When I disabled it, it stopped happening to me.

    I hope this helps for you also.

  • Work in Illustrator CS5. Try creating an EPS and get a runtime error.

    Tried to stop and restart, and it does not help. Anyone know a solution to this problem. Never happened to me before.

    Kristine,

    If you have made any changes (for example, upgraded the operating system to Yosemite or other daring acts), the list may be relevant, probably 6) or maybe 4).

    Sometimes, (some) things may fail or stop working for no apparent reason. When (other) possible reasons/remedies do not work, it can be a kind corruption (temporary or permanent) that can be cured with something on the following list. It starts with a few easy suggestions and safe) 1 and 2) for less severe cases and continues with two 3 ways) and 4) preferences of the society (irreversible and reversible), then follows a list 5) various other possibilities, and it ends with a complete reinstallation 6). If no other suggestion doesn't work, or if no other suggestion appears, you can start on the list and decide how far to go.

    The following is a general list of things, try when

    (A) the question is not in a specific file,

    (B) you have a printer installed, connected and turned on if it's a physical printer (you can use Adobe PDF/Acrobat Distiller as a printer by default without the need to have a printer on, of course you will need to specify when you really need print on paper), and

    (C) It is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media (see below).

    You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) (check the box to delete the preferences), run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) to uninstall and reinstall. It is important to use this step three way: otherwise, things may persist.

  • Stroke in the wrong place after copy/paste in Illustrator CC

    Since the passage of the CS6 at CC, I have a problem of copy/paste, work of one Illustrator document to another.

    Sometimes features are in the wrong place as you can see in the screenshot below. On the left side I just copied a picture from another file I and lines appear at the bottom right where they should be (in this case it is not possible to select the lines "out of place". Moving all about what I selected moves around the misplaced lines, but they keep the same distance. The way I found for this problem is either doing "Contour lines" or to make the illustration more bigger or smaller. Which will appear automatically the features in place. If I can undo these changes traits remain in the right place.

    This seems to happen with illustrations that have been made to the CS6, but save the original file does not help CC; the problem is occurring. It also seems to occur to the traits that have a variable width profile. Features with a uniform profile remain in place. I had this problem in Illustrator CC on Windows and Mac, with various files that I created initially in CS6. It is quite annoying because I copy and paste a large number of these illustrations, so I find myself constantly having to do "Contour lines" and then "Cancel" to remedy. What can I do to prevent this?

  • Copy-paste to other applications (like 2004 PPT) in broken CS5? -OS 10.6.3

    Hello

    New Mac to avoid issues went to the new Leopard snow after Photoshop CS5. Oops.

    Copy-paste from other Apps in CS5
    Paste images/pictures in Powerpoint 2004 for CS5, I knew the exact problem posted a little off-topic by james norrington in the thread "CS5 doesn't let me copy and paste file names."  He did not and is quoted here:

    -"I use Photoshop CS5 and Office 2004 on 10.6.3. I was using 10.4 until a few weeks ago and it worked and still work with other Macs in the office using CS4. I can copy and paste from powerpoint, but it divides images into two and don't know what is the resolution of the image. Also when I go from photoshop to powerpoint the resolution of the image is also not retained. » ---

    In addition, I found also copy - paste of a photo.jpg digital camera Preview for CS5 does not respect the resolution either. Directly open the photo in PS CS5, fine.

    PS earlier, was still able to copy any image to the Clipboard, have a dialog box new document come pre-filled with correct original LxH pixels native resolution, color mode, etc and just paste in the new document - perfect fit (even the eccentric ppi PPT 576). Now a passage and cut.  Don't have not PPT 2008 to test paste them from there.

    I also found a similar picture but less serious cut happens when copying and pasting of PPT-> preview, or -> TextEdit, or-> drag and drop photo clipping.

    Open the Image file in CS5
    Even an original file tiff 300 dpi went to 72 dpi when opened directly into CS5 etc. Convert the file to the jpeg preview - this jpeg file format can be opened in CS5 correctly, converted the jpeg to TIFF in preview, always open OK (not counting the loss of image quality). Still could not copy paste every document in CS5 correctly. A difference that I noticed in the converted files was more information available in the information on Preview file. Perhaps, that makes the difference by opening the file correctly.

    I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

    Photoshop CS5 uses the Cocoa API for the paper, which are very different from the old APIs of carbon.

    In addition, the Cocoa API as convert formats (sometimes wrongly) and have different assumption of transparency than the old APIs.

    Yes, we have found several applications where Clipboard support did not work properly and notified Apple so they could fix the cocoa of the Clipboard functions.

    (Note that Office is still carbon, and probably wrote PICT in the Clipboard, that cocoa tries to translate in TIFF format)

    Regarding the file TIFF - can send you one of these files to ccox at adobe (dot) com?

    I'll take a look at metadata and see why the resolution is not be read correctly.

  • Copy / paste stop working. Recently upgraded to Windows 10

    I installed Windows 10 a week ago and everything seemed ok. Suddenly, copy / paste don't work in Firefox or Thunderbird. For example, I can't copy words or links in this message.

  • copy / paste no longer works in photoshop CC

    I've been using Photoshop CC since March and this is a new issue. Was not a problem until today.

    When I select and area to copy from a photo in JPEG or photoshop PSD and make a new file paste it in, the new file is the same size as the Clipboard content, as we hear too, but photoshop is more will let me paste. The selection CHANGE, dough is still there in black, not greyed out. I fixed it temporarily by restarting my computer and it worked until I closed Photoshop again and reopened, problem is back... What is happening?

    Is it to do with preferences and how to change their resolution to this problem?

    the only thing I changed recently said use photoshop as the default program to open JPEG files in my computer. I've changed that because the bridge was no longer photoshop showing as an option when you right click an image and choose which file to use to open it. The fix was to close the bridge, chose a jpeg image and changes the default value of photoshop to open it.

    I am running windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.

    all help gratefully received...

    Thank you again once, I managed to remove preferences using your method above. but once again, copy and paste using PSD files that are still not resolved.

    Copy / paste works for PNG GIFF JPEG files but not for the PSD

    __________________________________________________________

    OK thanks to Curt Y, I suggest that the solution is to first preferences, then the purge.

    I returned and purged the Clipboard after reset preferences and it now seems to be fixed.

    Thank you

  • able to cut, but no copy & paste / xp sp3

    do not write to the Clipboard

    Hi Ron,

    You happen to have installed Iobit Advanced System Care (or just their Smart Ram program)...

    If you do, make sure you have "Own Clipboard" UNCHECKED under the Smart Ram settings.   Had the same thing happen to me and had even made a "repair installation" of Windows until I came across this one...   As you clear everything except Microsoft services & programs, the computer worked find until I have reactivated my programs...  Then, lost copy & paste it again...  So again, the 1 re-activated both (with a re - start eventually) disabled until all of a sudden I lost copy & paste it again...   The program was Advanced System Care...   When I searched on their website, I found other people had the same problem & the solution was to uncheck own Clipboard...   Copy & paste works well since...

    I you don't have this program (or Smart Ram), I suggest you do what I did to help out...  Turn off everything that is not Microsoft, then reactivate 1 both with a re-boot each time...  I hope that you will be able to isolate the program that gives you problems and change a program setting will fix it.

  • Can I use Javascript to call check spelling? Illustrator CS5

    I currently use Javascript to export jpgs out of illustrator when I'm done with a graph. I would like to add a "Auto-QC" function that would fire a spell checker before exporting it. I can't seem to find any documentation on how to call check them the spelling (Edition > check spelling...). Anyone have any ideas? I would also like to if I could the fire smart punctuation (Type > Smart punctuation...) as well, but it is a lower priority. I've seen it mentioned in CS6 forums, but nobody knows how to make it work with Illustrator CS5?

    Thanks for any help in advance!

    RESlyder wrote:

    You can try:

    // Supposed to work CS6 and above, * untested
    app.executeMenuCommand('Check Spelling');
    

    However, I doubt that you can get to the appearance of smart punctuation, etc. without Applescript or VBS, if it would be possible, even in this case. Also, using the foregoing may also requires user interaction and thus suspend the script until the user input?

    Hope this helps your efforts, let us know.

  • VMware View 5.0 problem of copy/paste operations

    View 5.0

    PCoIP

    I was unable to copy and paste between my office and my view client session so I turned off the VM from view and added that the following advanced configuration-VM:

    insulation. Tools.Copy.Disable = true

    insulation. Tools.Paste.Disable = true

    Partial success... I can copy my desktop and paste in the virtual machine to view but I can't do the reverse.  I can't copy inside the view virtual machine and bring this text clipboard réécrirait on my desktop.  I don't see anything about copy/paste in the pool of the view connection server or global configuration.

    What is interesting is that apart from the Customer View, copy/paste works both directions for access to the virtual machine using the vSphere Client remote console.  That tells me the above commands work and are correct, except that they do not work 100% with the customer in sight.

    Am I missing something?

    Thank you
