I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook.

I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook. I opened Safari and tapped/held the text I wanted to copy, but nothing happened. I have tried everything, and I am getting frustrated.

Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

Upgraded to Mavericks not my excel clipboard cannot be emptied and I cannot copy and paste from safari either.

I upgraded to Mavericks. Now when working in excel I cannot copy a cell to paste. When I try to copy an alert pops up saying 'Cannot empty clipboard'. I hit "OK' then I go to another screen, such as Safari, then excel on dock will bump then I have to keep going back to it to select "OK" again.
Also, I cannot copy on Safari, to paste an address on google earth, or paste anywhere else for that matter.
Anyone experiencing same issues?
I already checked my clipboard in finder and it is empty. Also, I tried right clicking to copy and still did not work that way.
Thanks. This is very frustrating because I need to use shortcuts and I work fast. I have business to tend to and need everything working. Excel keeps shutting down and restrting as well, very frustrating because I have to constantly save work and hope that it reopens with last edit.
ANY HELP is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

I cannot copy and paste from Word 2007 into Firefox (gmail), and I cannot copy and paste from Firefox (URLs) into a word document.

Starting two days ago, I can no longer copy and paste between Firefox and Word 2007. I can copy within each program.

I had similar issues starting about the same time or within the past week. However, I can copy and paste, it just takes considerably longer than it used to before. Copying something from a web page into Word could take up to 30 seconds now on my computer but it shows a busy mouse pointer while it is loading, then clicks/pops when it loads into the Word document, but then actually takes about another 5 to 10 seconds to appear in the Word document. I have no idea why it is delaying now when it did not do it before, but since it is still going into the document I am living with it for now. Are you waiting long enough to see if it appears?

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.

Cannot copy and paste anything

Hello,
I need help. I have two very large tech articles to post on my site and I cannot copy and paste anything. Cannot copy in paste items within the page or from word or notepad. It is as if the clipboard does not function at all. I am using Firefox 3.0 with the latest build version. Please help me out.

Hello,
Do you have the same problem with IE or Safari? Please try using a different browser to see if you can copy and paste your content. The current version of Firefox is 3.6. Do you have the same problem if you update Firefox?
What operating system are you running?
Best regards,
Corey

Cannot copy and paste objects in my project... Captivate 6

Hello,
I actually wrote about this yesterday, but I would like to mention it again because it's a big problem. I have a Adobe Captivate 6 project, and I cannot copy and paste text captions, buttons, smart shapes, etc. Do any of the experts out there have any advice? I could probably send you a video of the problem if you'd like...
Thank you in advance!

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Glenn,
I tried upgrading to leopard, even bought the software and brought it home but it wouldn't let me. So i went back to apple, gave them the specifications of the machine and been told my machine is simply too old for leopard. This is incredible to me because it really isn't THAT old (i think just a little over 6 years maybe) and yet i'm left out on the curb when it comes to using newer apple products. I understand technology moves on but the mindset that i am supposed to dump a perfectly working machine after a couple of years or face not being able to use any other apple product is counter to what thought apple was about.

I have the iPhone 3 (iOS 4.2.1) and I cannot update to iOS 5.

I have the iPhone 3 (iOS 4.2.1) and I cannot update to iOS 5. iTunes tells me my current version is the latest version. I have the latest version of iTunes.
Any advice?

The iPhone 3G came out about 4 years ago, and the hardware they had at that time can not support the latest and greatest iOS 5.

Hi-

do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

I have an iphone 4s when I take pictures and send them to my computer or someone elses computer they so times appear upside down. Is it because I have windows? Can I do anything about this?

I have an iphone 4s when I take pictures and send them to my computer or someone else they appear upside down. I have a window operating system. Is there anything I can do to reverse the pictures?

OK, here's the explanation. When you take a picture, the iPhone knows what orientation it is in (portrait, landscape, etc.) and adds that information to the picture's EXIF data so it knows which side is up. Apple devices can decode this information and show the picture right side up when it is viewed. However, Windows computers cannot do this. They are not capable of decoding the orientation information added by the iPhone, so they are displayed in a default orientation (which may not be right side up).
This only happens on Windows machines, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it, except use the rotation buttons in Windows picture view to orient the photo correctly.

HT1386 I have the iphone 5s. I cannot get the playlists from my computer to sync to iphone it will work for my 4s but not my 5s why?

I have the iphone 5s. I cannot get the playlists from my computer to sync to iphone5s but it works just fine with my 4s. I have done everything, it has even deleted my playlists that I have had to re-do 3 times. UGH!!!! Please help!

Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??

I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??

If you haven't set up your own Apple ID already don't. I suggest you use the same apple ID as your wife's. The alternative is to do this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848. It's not efficient as you have to swap apple id's to update apps under both IDs. 20/20 being hindsight, I would have never created a 2nd apple ID for my wife.
Hope this helps.

I have a iphone 4s with ios 8.3 and I used to be able to sync only a week or two of emails from outlook email. Now it won't let me do that and it syncs all my inbox. How can I change it back to sync less. I can't find the right place.

I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available? Any idea why that would be?

I have 2 iPhones sharing an apple ID (mine and my partner). we have just created separate ID's now that family sharing is available. but the partner's ID wouldn't let her update apps purchased on my ID! Help Please

I have 2 iPhones sharing an apple ID (mine and my partner). we have just created separate ID's now that family sharing is available. but the partner's ID wouldn't let her update apps purchased on my ID! Help Please

This is happening to me also but only with certain apps. The message I get with the apps that won't update is "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID. This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled".

I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook.
