Copy and Paste functions not working

I'm using windows 7 and 8. I can copy and paste photos , but when I copy a URL the paste function does not work. It is greyed out.

Hi,
Are you using remote desktop or other similar software? Please attempt to kill the related process, such as rdpclip.exe, etc.
Where do you want paste the URL?
Have you tried composite key Ctrl + V?
Please try running SFC /scannow command to fix some corrupt system files.

Copy and paste function stopped working?

The copy and paste function stopped working on my laptop (ibook g4, OSX 10.3.9). It does not work in any applications, tried MS word, safari, preview.
How do I recover this function?
Thanks.

Hi Magno2002
Your Finder may have lost contact with the clipboard, so try this.
In ~/library/preferences locate these two files and trash them
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
To re-establish them, log out and log back in again.
You will need to reset your finder and sidebar as you had them before.

Copy and paste buffers not working correctly in iOS 8.1m

Both iPads2's in my family arsenal are exhibiting what I believe to be a bug in the iOS8.1 (perhaps corrected by 8.1.1?), in the cut/copy & paste buffer stack.
When invoking the operation to copy and paste data from one application to another, the paste action consistently selects the previous (e.g., stack level 2 rather than 1 or Top) data as what is to be pasted.
In other words, if you have used the copy and paste routine twice, the second pasting will supply one with the paste data from the first operation, rather than the desired data from the second copy and paste operation.
Copy and paste appears to work correctly from within a single application, but consistently fails when copying data from one application to another.
Does anyone know of a work-around for this bug? Is it a bug that others have identified? Is there a new selection filter menu option for copy and paste operations, and what method is used to invoke the menu?
I hope this is addressed soon, as I use Cut/Copy & Paste operations extensively (I've already had Carpal Tunnel Release surgery once and don't relish a repeat performance, no matter how successful the first was in correcting the damage).
Any clues as to what's going on here?
thanks in advance,
labernache

All you can do is simply see if iOS 8.1.1 helps you with this. With some people it has, and others it has not. I would also recommend doing a clean install of your system, too.
Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

Copy and paste does not work

Hi All,
I have windows vista, adobe master suite collection cS3. I am having trouble using copy and paste and screen grabs in Adobe Photoshop.
Does anyone know what may be cauing this?
Thanks,
Helen

I copied website captures fine onto Paint and copied text and screen captures on Microsoft word fine. I am mainly trying to copy and paste website screen grabs. For example I tried copying a website screen grab straight onto Photoshop.
I am using the manual form of copy and pasting through the mouse right click. Strangely when closing and reopening Photoshop the copy and paste tool works temporarily however after a couple of copy and pasting’s the copy and paste function doesn’t work again!
Thanks John, do you know of any screen capture programs that work on windows vista home and adobe cs3.
Thanks,
Helen

Copy and drag function not working/working sporadically with option click

For some reason when I'm working in the matrix editor and I try to option/click and drag notes - it will work sometimes and not others. I do not understand.

Thank you for posting, I have the exact same problem! iPad 2, with iOS 8 upgrade which crippled my iPad 2 !!!!
I am looking for a fix without reading through so many pages of problems, so thanks you for posting everything so completely. I have tried all those "fixes" too and nothing has worked. I also want to downgrade to the previous iOS which operated well for me.
it is embarrassing for Apple, since they just announced new hardware, they want us all to shell out more money, huh?
no fix for us?
I will look through these pages, but I doubt anything has been solved, I've been reading about trying to find a fix for over a week to no avail.
thanks for posting your complaint/problem as you were very articulate about the problem.
I also can not copy and paste. (Old clipboard keeps showing up.)
apps crash.
safari and Chrome browser are equally slow, unresponsive, hang.
crash to black screen. Crash to white screen.
lots of problems.
(edited to fix some typos which is hard since the keyboard overlays what I am typing.)

Synchronize settings and copy and paste settings not working LR 4.1

Recently upgraded to LR 4.1.
The copy and paste settings and also synchronize setttings in LR 4.1 has stopped working.
Rebooted, nothing new added
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T 3.60gh
16 GB ram
64 bit

I am also seeing issues in 4.1 with Synchronize settings. I'll giove an example:
Select all images, change the white balance in most selected image, Click "Sync..." have only the "white balance" check box checked, click Synchronize biutton. All images in that folder appear to have synched, but looking more closely, some of the images did not get the white balance setting applied - this is really random also. Had the same issue trying to sync exposure across all images in a folder - 150ish images.
Never seen this in any version of LR prior to 4.1 - I have had them all since 1.2.
I am running Windows 7 x64 8GB on i7 920.
Hopefully Adobe are investigating this issue.

Copy and paste is not working

Hi,
I am using Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 32 bit with Service Pack1 Copy paste is not working frequently. Please help me to solve the issue.

Boopathi S

Hi,
What do you by "I used CTRL+P to paste"? As I know, we usually use copy\paste with ctrl+C\ctrl+V.
More information would be helpful.
Anyway, if this issue only happened in IE, then what is the result is we copy something with right-click\Copy?
You can also launch IE in add-on mode to tset this issue, click "Start", type "internet", then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
Meanwhile, clear browser history\caches\cookies, etc. Tools\Internet Options\General\Delete...

Copy and Paste does not work in filter statement of table data

I am using SQL Developer 3.0.04. I can not copy nor paste in the filter criteria when watching or editing table data. Is it a bug or do I have to change some settings?

Hi Sven,
I did a bit more research and now I hope we will be talking about the same thing. Bear with me and let me clarify. In terms of my prior comment about the process necessary to copy a value from a data cell into the clipboard, I was totally off-base. Once the focus is on a data cell, all one need do is Edit menu|Copy or ctrl-c. I have no idea why I had trouble with that yesterday.
Anyway, getting back to what's relevant with regard to your issue:
1) If something is in the clipboard, then both Edit menu|Paste and ctrl-v work for a data cell target.
2) If something is in the clipboard, then Edit menu|Paste fails for a data tab filter target.
3) If something is in the clipboard, then ctrl-v works for a data tab filter target.
So obviously conditions exist where pasting to the data tab filter can work. But here is a scenario where I found a problem similar to what you describe:
1) For the EMP table in SCOTT, display all employees in the data tab.
2) Apply a filter. For example, filter on JOB='SALESMAN'. Now 4 salesman, all in dept 30, are displayed.
3) Next you decide to view only employees in dept 30.
4) Copy the value 30 from the DEPTNO column. Carelessly put the focus on ENAME column in one of the data tab rows.
5) Next focus on data tab filter to blank out JOB='SALESMAN' predicate. Drop down to select DEPTNO. Append an = sign.
6) Finally Edit menu|Paste. Instead of seeing DEPTNO=30 in the filter, we see...
7) The filter contains nothing and is disabled (greyed out).
8) The ENAME column of the prior focus now contains the value 30 rather than the a salesman's name.
Your case may be different/more complex, but at least this simple case demonstrates in a repeatable fashion what I noticed but didn't describe very well yesterday. I have logged the following internal bug:
Bug 12753266 - EDIT MENU PASTE INTO DATA TAB FILTER DOES NOT WORK AND MAY DISABLE THE FILTER
Using the rollback button, blanking out any filter value and hitting enter displays all original employee rows.
Regards,
Gary

My copy and paste is not working.

It works fine when I'm in Word or any other document, just not on the Internet. It looks like it lets me copy, but pasting is never an option. Where can I go to fix this?

Control key copy and paste, etc., not working

I have just purchased a T440S Thinkpad. I am alarmed that Ctl + C and Ctl + V do not work. Also, I cannot use the Control key in combination with + and - to zoom in and zoom out. The Control key in combination with the letter i does not italicize a blocked word. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Will Lenovo technicians be able to provide a fix for this serious problem? David

Is this the case for both CTRL keys (you have a CTRL key on each side of the space key) or is one of them working?
If the right CTRL key is working and the left CTRL key isn't, are you sure you didn't swap the Fn and CTRL key in BIOS?

My Copy and Paste Function is not working

I recently upgraded to Firefox 16.02 and everything worked fine for a while but last night out of the blue my copy and paste function stopped working. As far as I know I have not done anything different. My copy paste function still works in Chrome and IE.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox and that did not solve the problem. As we speak I am running an AV scan and I also cleared the web cache and what not in Firefox. Ran it in safe mode... nothing seems to work!
Interestingly though, when I went to Copy and Paste the "trouble shooting info" from the clipboard to here on this page it worked fine.

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.

My copy and paste functions are not working properly since iOS 8 update

Ever since I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 4s the copy and paste function isn't working. It'll work the first time but any time I copy something else it pastes the first thing I copy. The only fix I've found is rebooting the phone but that is a pain to do every time I want to copy something and should be very unnecessary. I updated to 8.0.2 but that didn't fix it.

Have you tried rebooting?
