Can't copy and paste in any application- need help!

I haven't been able to paste text in any application. I can copy and cut, but it won't let me paste. I've tried "apple V" and edit->paste (but the "paste" option is light grey= not an option). Nothing works and i'm getting frustrated!
any suggestions?

When I opened up the clipboard after copying, it shows an old text segment that I copied. It won't let me delete it...does this mean my clipboard is frozen?
but when I paste, nothing happens, not even the old text segment.
????

I no longer see the URL of any website so can't copy and past URLs into any emails, etc. Is there some setting to make URLs visible? when I updated, the URLs disappeared. I'm on a MacBook.

When I updated to the latest version of Firefox, the URLs disappeared so they are no longer visible at the top of the Firefox page. I can enter sites, but I can't copy and past the URLs anymore. Why can't I see the http://... info anymore? Is there some setting I changed or what might be the problem?
thanks.

Try this:
Click on the orange Firefox tab > Highlight Options > click Navigation Toolbar.

I can't copy and paste from Word to the Internet (Firefox or Chrome), but I can copy and paste from Internet to Word

I suddenly can't copy and paste text from Word to the internet (Firefox or Chrome, email or other websites), but I can do the reverse. Any ideas? Copy and paste works between Word docs, and it works between internet sites (e.g., web page to email), just not from Word to the internet. Please help. I need to copy and paste my resume for an online job application.

There are a range of different kinds of forms. For example, this site uses very simple controls that don't automatically convert Word's formatting to an online format. The site where you are trying to paste your resume probably works differently.
What methods have you tried using to paste? Typically one of these will work:
* Ctrl+v
* right-click > Paste
* Edit > Paste (from the menu)
Some sites offer their own buttons to paste, but for security/privacy reasons, Firefox usually disables those.

Can't copy and paste or drag files and folders

In the last few days I can no longer drag files or folders on my desktop, in my mail program (Entourage) and I can't copy and paste anymore. I also can't get iDisk to come up. It keeps givng me error messeges. (error code -50). Anyone had similar problems and know of a solution?

When did you last run a bit of basic maintenance?
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.

By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:

If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Bridge CS6 Mac XMP File Info Panel Bug: can't copy and paste metadata

The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the xmp file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
This bug only appears in the xmp file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste from one field to another works.
The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.

Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

Can't copy and paste between latest firefox and word 2007

I just posted about this a few minutes ago but forgot to mention it happens in both directions. I can't copy and paste anything from a screen in the latest firefox into word, and any links I copy from word do not copy into the address bar in firefox. Can someone help? I have Windows 7. This has been happening a couple of weeks.

Do you have the clipboard enabled or have a locked or user.js file?

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");

I can't copy and paste anymore (I know how it just won't work) and also cannot delete files.

I can't copy and paste anything anywhere. not in a word doc, not in an email, nothing. I am also not able to delete files can you tell me what how to fix this. any suggetsions. I am not very computer savy so you may have to give directions for dummies.

I can't copy and paste anymore after installing 64bit software on 32bit system

I've installed an trial version of Adobe Indesign on my MacBook pro (Max OS X 10.5.8). I noticed that the programm could not be installed because it is an 64 bit version. Sadly I allready installed it and now I have a lot of problems. I can't copy and past files anymore. Also moving files from a folder to another folder is over. When I start applications most of them crash (Avid Media Composer, After Effects ect). When I open photoshop CS4.0 I get the following error: 'Could not import the clipboard because of a program error'.
Allso copy and past in Safary doesn't work anymore. I've tried to remove the com.apple.finder.plist file but dat doesn't work. When I reboot my mac and start up in safe mode the problems are still there.
Anybody an idea what to do?

Uninstall the incorrect version. It should have come with an uninstaller. Repair permissions, restart your computer, install the correct version, repair permissions and restart your computer again.

How can I copy and paste styles in pages on my iPad?

I can not see a Paste Styles command to paste a style to words or paragraphs. Doesnt matter if it's a built in style from a built in template or any custom formatting. Apple help file has clear instructions that do not work.

What I do, since I have shifts with same times just different daily, is make an event for the shift. Then on the repeat option, choose custom, and then monthly choose the days I want to copy the event to. Then on the end date option I choose the end of that month, so it essentially doesn't repeat, more of the copy and paste effect. Hope this helps, cheers.

How can I copy and paste a long page here without using email?

How can I copy and paste a long page without using email?

Thanks for replying. Actually I want to copy/paste a recipe from a website so I can keep the recipe. On p 39 it tells how to copy/paste, which I do a lot already, but it doesn't tell where to paste it so I can access or print it whenever I want. It's kind of a long recipe. Too long to type out. Any ideas for that?

Can't copy and paste paragraphs into Blogger

Hi all,
I don't know why Safari can't copy and paste paragraphs of text into Blogspot.com posts, but I just can't seem to get it to work. It drops the text below the entry field every time, even if I have the cursor flashing in the blogger typing box (composer). It's just not working. Any ideas?
Also, wondering if Safari has any media download functions like Firefox's "Unplug"?

BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),

your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

I can't copy and paste in blackboard discussions.

I can't copy and paste in blackboard discussion or any where in blackboard when using firefox. I can if I use a different browser but I prefer firefox. I have also tried the keyboard shortcuts without succes. Any suggestions?

One possible workaround is to block the scripts on sites from detecting when you cut, copy, or paste using the keyboard or right-click context menu. You can do this by changing a preference in Firefox's about:config preferences editor. This may cause some side effects when copying on other sites, though, so it's not an ideal workaround.
To try it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''event''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled''' to switch its value from true (the default) to false.
This should take effect immediately, or after you reload the Blackboard page.
Does that make any difference?
