Cut and Paste doesn't work in lots of apps

I was surprised that cut and paste does not work in Twitter, in App descriptions and other places. It's nice that it works on web sites and email text, notes, etc. But, am I wrong about this?

I don't understand your reply. I am able to copy and paste from web sites without any problems.
That's because cut and paste to a web page isn't the same copy and paste from it. Your first post (and the title of this thread) referred to +cutting and pasting to+ a twitter web page.
You can copy text from anywhere, but you can +cut and paste+ only to editable fields.

  • Cut and Paste will not work

    I have a Toshiba Satellite/Satellite Pro C50-A series laptop I bought new in December 2013. It has Windows 8 on it. I did the upgrade to windows 8.1 almost immediatley so I cannot remember if my control c / control v, cut and paste worked in 8 or not. But it will NOT work in 8.1 for most of my programs. I desperately need it to work on my All My Movies database software from Bolide software and my Green Eclipse sticky notes. And cut and paste will NOT work AT ALL for those programs. It works sometimes for my email and my Apache Open Office word processor.
    I have contaced microsoft who's tech did something Tuesday morning to get it working. But then I booted down my computer and went to bed and when I booted it up, yep, no more cut and paste ability again! So I tried contacting microsoft this morning around 2:30am and they said it was an OEM problem and to contact Toshiba.
    I have even run a sfc /scannow twice and get the same error message:
    sfc /scannow      ran 1/22  1:30am
    results: windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
    for ex c:\windows\Logs\CBS/CBS.log
    note that logging is currently not supported in offline servicing scenarios
    The above error message I WAS ABLE to cut and paste FROM my green eclipse sticky note to this forum! But when I tried to cut and paste this message back to a NEW sticky note......NOTHING!
    I hope someone here can provide a permanent solution to fix this! It may seem minor but I do a LOT of cut/pasting!
    frustrated!!!!

    There are dozens of possibilities, Lisa.
    Which C50-A do you have? There is a label on the bottom.
    What security applications do you have installed? Webroot is a common offender.
    Do you have Microsoft Office installed? If so, which version?
    Do you use Bluetooth?
    Did you upgrade to Windows 8.1 properly, following carefully the instructions here?
       How to Update from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1
    Find a situation that always gives you trouble, so that know when we learn something.
    Then see if that trouble occurs after a clean boot.
       1. Open the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe). You can do that by typing msconfig at the Start screen and pressing Enter.
       2. On the Services tab, set the Hide all Microsoft services check box and then click Disable all.
       3. On the Startup tab, click Open Task Manager, right-click and disable each Startup item. Then close Task Manager.
       4. Back on the System Configuration screen, click OK, and restart the computer.

    Folder1 ------------> File1 & File2
    Folder2 has no files.
    Now i am cut the file "File2" from Folder1 and paste in to Folder2.
    Issue is "File2" not permanently remove from "Folder1". It is retaining in "Folder1" It self.
    Can anyone tell me. What is the issue in it?
    Regards
    Poomani Sankaran

    Hi Poomani,
    According to your description, “File 2” still exists in Folder1 after it is been cut and paste to Folder2.
    Can you provide more details about how you perform the operations?
    I tried to move the file between folders in a library in the two ways below, both work without issue:
    1. “Open with Explorer”: cut and paste the file in the Windows Explorer interface;

    2. In the “Site Content and Structure”, use the “Move…” feature of a library;

  • Copy and Paste Doesn't Work in Windows

    Copy and paste does not work in iTunes 9.1.0.79 in Windows 7.
    When I select songs in a playlist to copy to a folder in Windows 7, I can select all and copy. But nothing appears when I try to paste those songs. Paste is grayed out.
    (Or is copy and paste supposed to work only within iTunes?)
    Any help in solving this problem would be appreciated.

    When I select songs in a playlist to copy to a folder in Windows 7, I can select all and copy. But nothing appears when I try to paste those songs. Paste is grayed out.
    Correct.
    You are copying the text from the columns displayed in iTunes.
    You can paste that into a text document.
    To assist others which may have the same question and see this topic, what was your solution?
    Just drag the songs from iTunes to the folder you want.

  • Cut, Copy, and Paste doesn't work for some Project files

    We have some Project files where the Cut, Copy, and Paste function is not working.  Suspecting corruption, I tried doing a "Save for Sharing", to no avail.
    Is there a switch setting that we are missing?
    We are using Project Server v2010 with SP2.  Our Project Pro clients are on SP2.

    Hi Chris,
    It could be due to a enterprise global corruption. Does it happen on a specific enterprise view? Does it work well in the default Gantt view?
    Try to open the enterprise global and make a copy of the table with the same fields and attributes, then replace the old table with the new one in all the relevant views.
    Hope this helps,

  • SQL DEVELOPER cut and paste does not work, slow and cannot work fast.

    I have lots of difficulties using SQL Developer, the cut/paste does not work properly, when I type search in he code editor it just paste or type the test in the source code not in the serach box. Very hectic I'm pallning to swicth to TOAD until they a a good version.

    Hello Aukhez,
    I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with SQLDeveloper - personally, I've never had any problems with cut/copy/paste and searching, and I've been using SQLDeveloper from v1.0 to the current version, on practically every version of the JDK from 1.5-1.6u16 on both Windows and Linux.
    Sorry to state the obvious, but perhaps if you could provide a bit more specific information - such as platform, version, etc - and details of what you tried to do, someone here might be able to help...? Regarding speed, there are quite a few things you can do to make this better, but again, without knowing your setup, it's hard to give you proper directions. Plus, you'll find numerous threads here and on google about what you can do to improve speed.
    Regards,
    John

  • Copy and paste doesn't work

    I have attempted to copy values using copy/paste. When I apply the paste nothing is put in the designated cell. I have attempted to copy titles as well and they were not pasted.
    I opened a new spreadsheet as a test and found that the copy/paste technique works on it. Why does this work on one spreadsheet and not the other? Have I turned something off or on which prevents this from working on the spreadsheet? Is there a preference that is involved?
    I am running Snow Leopard on an iMac.

    I had the same problem with a Numbers '09 SS that I got as an email attachment. I couldn't copy and paste cells, no matter what was in the cells. I couldn't move cells or groups of cells. The only thing I could do was highlight the contents of one cell and copy and paste that. But that gets old fast.
    So I tried exporting the SS as an Excel document (I don't have Excel, but it doesn't matter) and then opening it again in Numbers. It Worked!! Now I can move and copy and paste cells, columns, rows.

  • Copy and/or Cut and Paste no longer works from within Firefox yet I can Paste to Notepad and yet again copy the same text from within Notepad or any app will not Paste back into Firefox, thanks

    I 'Copy & Paste' from within Firefox quite often but for some reason the function has stopped working when using some sites, even the menu item 'Paste' is greyed out, yet I can open Notepad and 'Paste'. I tried pasting into 'Notepad' then copying from Notepad and pasting back into Firefox, which I've found in the past sometimes works but today even that does not work. I accept it may not actually be a Firefox problem but I have noticed since upgrading to the latest version, I am having several problems with crashing and hanging exceedingly long execution of the browser.

  • Copy and Paste doesn't work inside compound clips

    If I have two compound clips, when I try to copy some clips from inside one, then open the other compound clip and paste, nothing happens.
    However, if I try the same on a project timeline paste works.
    This is really annoying as I cannot move a clip from one scene to another when I have set up my scenes as compound clips.

    They were created in 10.0.8.
    Are you definitely going into two separate compound clips?
    For example, If I explode one of the compound clips on a timeline then paste works again. That still means I need separate projects for each scene which is a pain.
    What I would like in FCP X, is to be able to have more than one timeline open simulataneously, so I can drag relevant clips between them. I am finding with a documentary that I am editing, where the story is not obvious and scripted in advance, that developing story idea sections as compound clips is really incovenient. I often realise that clips there were in one section work better in another. This was much easier in FCP 7 where you can open two timelines and drag between them.
    I hope apple add the ability to open multiple timelines.

  • Why am I not able to cut and paste to Microsoft Works anymore?

    While using Internet Explorer I was able to copy off the internet and paste into my Microsoft Works word processing. I can no longer do that with Mozilla. I keep getting the answer "it exceeds the size limit" even if it's only one word.

    You should be able to view both PDFs and Powerpoint attachments by tapping on them to download them and then open them. Without a separate app you can't then save them on the iPad, but you should be able to open and the read both of them in the Mail app.

  • Copy and paste doesn't work well in Microfsoft Office

    When I want to copy and paste text in a document I select the text with my trackpad. Because I have to do it repetitive and quickly I use the apple c button while my finger is on the trackpad.
    I discovered it is not possible to have your finger on the trackpad and press the apple c button at the same time in Microsoft Office. It will not copy anything. A successful copy/paste action is only possible when your fingers are not at the trackpad.
    Does anyone knows a solution for this? Thanks!

    You should post questions regarding Office on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software, as they're geared more toward the issue than a forum for Apple products:

  • Cut and Paste between Events not working

    Using iPhoto11, I can drag and drop pictures between events, no problem...but Cut and Paste does not work.
    I select a photo and cut in event A, go to event B, I right click and get a PAST button, It even clicks but nothing happen, the Cut image never gets pasted.
    Is this a bug? whats the solution?

    To delete the test user, go to the black apple menu, click on system preferences, then on accounts. From an administrator account, click on the "test" user and hit the "-" key. when the dialog box comes up, hit "delete the home folder" and it will be gone.
    For the startup disk issue you should repair permissions. From the finder, click on the "go" menu, then on "utilities". Select disc utility. Select your HD and click on repair disk permissions. This will take several minutes (5 or more).
    If that has not done the trick then you may need to reset the parameter ram (PRAM).  Turn your computer off. When you turn it back on, simultaneously hold 4 keysL command-option-p-r. Keep holding them. The startup chime will ring. Continue to hold until you have heard the chime at least 2 times (more won't help or hurt). Then release.

  • Cut and paste from text field not working in early access JRE 1.90-ea-b38

    I noticed that cut and paste no longer works with JRE 1.9 on Windows 7 professional. Anyone else having that problem?
    I haven't posted a bug reports since the Sun days, is there still a place to post bugs?

    Which advice didn't I follow?1) How to write a simple SSCCE.
    Again why do you have a custom TableModel? It is not required for the SSCCE and in fact is not required for your real program.
    Why is KeyListener code included. It has notthing to do with your question.
    2) I also suggested you add the mouse listener to the text area. Well, the text area is defined in the popup dialog, not the editor in my original SSCCE. So why have you made the code so complex by defining a second text area?
    I did look at your sample program (the table with pop-up menu appearing on right-click) That was only a wild guess because you didn't respond the second time when I asked you why the mouse listener wasn't added to the text area.

  • Cut and Paste Question

    Hi,
    Probably a simple answer, but something I find frustrating; I'm transitioning from Excel to Numbers, and in excel, when you cut and paste, it will automatically delete the row you're cutting from when you paste to the new location (i.e., if I cut the original row 2 and paste it above row 1, I won't have a blank space where the original row 2 used to be).
    Can someone explain to me how to do that in numbers? When I cut and paste, it cuts the contents of the cell but leaves the empty cell there instead of automatically deleting it or taking the whole cell with me. It's inconvenient to continually delete the original source cell when the paste is done.
    Thanks!

    Cut and paste does not work the same.  It may be easier for you to simply select the row using the row header (the numbers tha appear when the table is active), and drag the row where you want.
    If you want to swap rows 3 and 4, highlight row 4:
    then click and hold on the "4" at the very right of the table, then drag above three:
    Then release:
    In Numbers cut places the contents of the cells you are cutting onto the clipboard, then deleted the content.
