Jose,
It would help if you specified the nature of the error messages you
received.
The following works fine for me.
Plot[ArcSin[x], {x, -1, 1}];
But the following produces Plot::plnr error messages because ArcSin[x] is
not a real number over parts of the plotting domain. I am guessing that that
is what your problem is.
Plot[ArcSin[x], {x, -2, 2}];
Plot::plnr: ArcSin[x] is not a machine-size real number at x = -2..
