Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

But when all the object are in place and ready for animation on fram 1. i press shift + E then i want to go to another frame but then everything pops in a differend spot and i cant undo it. look at screen shots.

Looks like you have aready keyed some frames in, Look at the frame time slider at the bottom of the screen are there any red tags there, if so delete them, click on the frame that the tags on then right click delete........dave

By the way, just as a general rule, it's better to duplicate objects (edit > duplicate or duplicate special) than doing a copy + paste type thing.
