Can't Copy Text to Note/Document on Facebook

New problem with Safari:
I cannot copy text from Text Edit or Apple Works, to create a new Note or Document on Facebook.
When I tried Firefox, worked just fine!
This problem started about a month ago. I really like Safari, and would like to continue using it ....
I don't like the way that Firefox works, especially with Facebook. Firefox cuts off part of the words, and the cursor doesn't work properly in Firefox. Other issues too ....
Is anyone else having this same issue with Safari?

Thanks for the link. I've already posted this issue and several others on the Facebook Forums, but have NEVER got an answer to any of my posts ....
I am able to copy and paste text from a word processor (Apple Works or Text Edit) into a new Note or Document on my Facebook using Firefox with no issues.
So it appears to be issues with Safari.

Can I copy text from a website or Facebook account and paste it into another web application?

Can someone read my question above and help to resolve. It does not make sense that I cannot copy from the web????

I've done it. Select your text, copy and then go into the other application and paste it.
If you want to see what it'll look like you can open the notes app or a word processing app and paste it there, then into your final destination.

Can't copy text in a preview-document opened in Safari.

Since the last upgrade of safari (I think) I can't copy text in a preview document opened in Safari. Can I adjust anything in the preferences or is there any other solution to get the normal behaviour back?

Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
Relaunch Safari and test.

How can I solve the problem with copying text from Google Documents?

Ctrl+C and Ctrl+X are not always working in Google Document opened with Mozilla Firefox 30. This problem first occurred 2 days ago. No changes to the software were made.
The problem is not stable and permanent. I can successfully copy several lines from document and paste them somewhere else. And suddenly the next one is not copied using ctrl+c. Even ctrl+x is not working until I change the selection of the lines. Sometimes it begin to work after changing the selection, sometimes not.
I'm using Google Documents for a long time. I always use Firefox to work with them. And I've never had this problem before.

This problem happens for me as well. I can copy/paste from Firefox initially, but then after pasting elsewhere the Firefox page has to be refreshed in order to copy something else....

Can't Copy Text From PDF Within Gmail Preview

Hi,
If I click on a pdf attachment while inside gmail, I get the expected preview window of that PDF. However, I can't copy text from it. If I press Command-C, it just makes a beeping noise letting me know nothing is being copied. If I select text and right-click, there's no 'copy' option. Also, in the top toolbar, Copy is greyed out in the Edit menu. However, if I just hold down Command-C for a couple seconds the text will copy anyways (while hearing a dozen audible beeps). I can copy text without issue using Firefox from the same PDF attachment preview inside Gmail.
Thanks for any help.
Yosemite 10.10.1
Safari Version 8.0 (10600.1.25.1)

Having same issue as well. I've had this problem pre-Yosemite and it seems to be Safari related. Copy to clipboard in Gmail preview works fine in Chrome & Firefox, just not Safari. As you indicated if you hold ctrl-c long enough it will eventually copy, just forces you to listen to the series of annoying bongs.
Also there's no copy to clipboard in the context menu as illustrated below:

Pretty annoying really, I'm not about to download a dozen attached PDFs to copy to clipboard, so now I'm sitting in the Delta lounge with my laptop bonging away as I wait for Safari to copy to clipboard and everyone looks at me like I'm a moron.
NOTE: No I do not have acrobat or any other software loaded besides vanilla Safari. This has gone on on my MBP, Mac Pro and now this brand new MBP I got Monday as a company upgrade, it literally has nothing installed on it at the moment.

How can i copy text from web link title in safari

Hi. How can i copy text to clipboard from web link title in safari in ios 7? Thank you

Once you have selected text, there will be blue circular buttons on the corners. Get the ones on the end and move them in towards the text that you want to copy. The problem that you seem to be facing where you are is that this text is a hyperlink. Because of that reason, you will have a difficult time tapping on the text without activating the link. I'm not sure you will be able to do that.

How can I copy text in Adobe Digital Editions?

How can I copy text in Adobe Digital Editions for an eBook that I have purchased?

Adobe apps can be reset to their factory defaults by using Ctrl+Alt+Shift, not Del. The rest doesn't really make any sense since you did not provide any details and authorizations can't be changed that way, anyway. If you want to transfer books to other devices you need to contact the vendors to release the DRM/ provide a new download and if you want to change the registered ID, you need to contact support or create a completely new account, which in turn will require you to buy your DRM managed books again/ get a new download as well.

Same problem in iphone4s and ipad2
iOS 5.1

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks for your advice... My overall iPad performance is much mor "snappy" but here is what I get with a paste to this message:iPad 2 User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software)
Touch and hold the link. You can open the link in Safari or copy the link address to the clipboard .
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf
And this was not what I was most recently copied to my clipboard while using Safari! Befor trying this copy/paste I even cleared Safari cookies and cache! Any other ideas would be appreciated.

How can I highlight text in a document scanned in pdf format?

How can I highlight text in a document scanned in a pdf format?

If it wasn't OCRed in Acrobat then you can only use the non-text commenting tools, like the Square or Polygon. Press Ctrl+E to open the Properties bad and you could make it look like a text highlight annotation.

How can I copy text&image from a website to Apple Pages at once?

I'm using Apple Pages 9.1, I can't copy text and images to pages at once. When I paste the copy contents to it, it just only shows text. With Safari, this functionality seems normal. I could copy and paste what I want to the pages.
What can I do now? I don't want to open Safari just only to copy and quit it after that. :D

Does it matter how widely you select? Firefox may be somewhat stingier in what it includes in a selection than other browsers. For example, I suspect you would have better results if you select the entire page and copy and paste it compared with a section of the page. But that's just a guess, I've never used Pages (or any of iWork).

Why a pdf document with embedded fonts can be copied but is not searchable in pdf reader

I am writing a pdf files with embedded subset fonts. As required, I am including the ToUnicode and CIDSet objects. To test, I created a simple PDF with two Hebrew characters. I can select the two characters and copy to the clipboard, and paste it properly into another application such as Word. But I am not able to search for a word containing these two characters. Adobe Reader (or Acrobat) displays the message that the word was not found. So in essence, I have created a PDF document which can be copied properly, but is not searchable. Any idea what I might be missing when creating the document?
Additional information: 1. The file in question is a minimal file with just two characters. I have tested with many such files in many different languages including English. None of the files are searchable. 2. Curiously, if I search for the letter 'e', Adobe reader highlights an incorrect word, even if the letter 'e' does not exists in the file. 3. Adobe acrobat is also not able to search within this file, however when I save the file to another disk file, the saved file now is searchable. I confirmed that the major objects such as the font-file, ToUnicode object, CID object, and the font description objects are the same in the saved file. However, one of the font object is brought up closer to the top of the file. 4. FoxIt is able to search these files properly.

I figured the app might have that ability - considering you can add text, highlight, add a signature, annotate and draw - so my thought was why not delete a page, or rearrange for that matter?.. That should be an option, this way we don't have to export to one of the other apps to delete or rearrange..
Thanks for the help, Bernd.
BTW if anyone is looking - PDF Max can do all of the above and delete and rearrange. With PDF Splicer you can delete and rearrange as well, but it has no other features.
And as for Steve Werner whose comment was deleted after it got to my inbox, it is much more than a Reader, as you can plainly see from the amount of tasks the Reader app can do above.
