Copy and paste has stopped working. Bad memory.

Strange new event. In some programs, so far two, if I copy some text there is now a clicking sound (new) and when I paste that text in to another place in the program then it either pastes what was in the clipboard before, in a prior paste, or it pastes a hybrid combo of what was there before and the just-copied text.
If I go to text edit, or to safari or mail program, then copy and paste work just fine. If I look at what is in the clipboard (via Finder) then the expected content is there.
Has anyone run into this odd thing?
Thanks,
Richard

Copy and paste has stopped working in all applications.

It looks as if the text is being copied, and it looks as if there is somwething to paste in the Edit dropdown window - but nothing appears when you do paste. Also, the 'Undo' button appears in the edit window, as if it has pasted...

When you say "edit window" I am going to presume you mean the Edit menu.
If you start your MacBook in Safe Mode (that is by holding down the shift key on startup and during the login process) does this change anything? This takes a little time, so don't lose patience.
Let us know we'll keep working with you.

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 Have Stopped Working!

All of a sudden, it's like a switch has been thrown: I can't copy and paste between applications, or even within an application. I've tried to use Edit->Copy and Edit->Paste, rubber-banding and dragging, and even Apple-C and Apple-V, all to no avail.
(When I do Apple-C, the Edit item in the menu bar goes blue, but then when I do Apple-V, I get the "boop" sound.) Was doing this fine until a day or so ago.

Hi James
Alright, Open text edit, type a few words,
With your mouse select some text (which overlays a blue strip), press the Command key down and tap C, to copy it. (Keep your eye on the blue flash Edit),
Release both keys.
Check to see if it has copied to the clipboard by
Clicking the Finder icon in the Dock, in the Finder menuitem Edit
select Show Clipboard
Is the copied text there?

Copy and paste has stopped keeping the source formatting.

Hello,
I have used Firefox for a few years but just recently I have run into this problem. I copy Twitter links and send them via email using Microsoft Outlook 2003. Within the last week or so the formatting will not stay the same as the source website as before. There are some Twitter links where the hyperlink will not even be clickable like before.
I have used Internet Explorer to see if it was a Word or Outlook problem but using IE it works correctly like before.
I have done a refresh of Firefox as well as removing it completely and reinstalling fresh. I have ruled out anything else but Firefox (I believe).

I did some more digging thru your site and found someone that reverted back to a prior version of Firefox so I gave it a try.
I went from 37.X to 36.X and my problem has gone away!
I hope Firefox can address this in the future. I enjoy your product and will continue to use it.

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.

First, note that this is a user-to-user forum. If you want to contact Adobe, you'll need to call or write them on their main site.
That said, as the note says at the top of the forum, you're going to have to provide us a lot more information if you want us to help you. "Stopped working" doesn't tell us much. Does this mean that it was working in the past but then stopped? What stopped? What did it do that it's not doing now? What were you doing when it stopped? Was it when you were adding video to your project, for instance?
What operating system are you using? If Windows, have you manually gone to Windows Update and made sure you've got the non-critical updates, which don't download automatically to your system? Have you ensured you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements?
How fast is your processor, how much RAM do you have and how much free, clean, defragmented space is on your hard drive?
What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it? Did you use Premiere Elements to get the video from your camcorder to your Premiere Elements project?

How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

I don't think the list style transfers. Copy and paste the text in to Mail, select it and then choose "Insert Numbered List" as a work around.

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.

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.

'Attach photo' to emails and messages has stopped working. Help?

'Attach photo' to emails and messages has stopped working.
The function is grayed out. Help?
— Relatively new iPhone 6+ with latest system ...
If on a mac, I'd be running a disk utility or looking to overwrite an app, or re-install the system.
Although over 25 years on Macs, this is my first iPhone... and I'm missing a few (probably) subtle things to do to resurrect this function.
Help?
Thanks

Hi CartoonBob,
If you are having issues with being unable to attach a photo from Mail on your iPhone, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Are you receiving or able to send email?
ashlee, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
After reboot give it a few minutes and see if your data starts working again.

My daughter has an iPod and FaceTime has stopped working as she is not able to verify her email address please can you help.

My daughter has an iPod and FaceTime has stopped working as she is not able to verify her email address please can you help.

As long as you can't get a hold of the device, you can't do anything more than talking to your daughter about it.
Erasing the device could also be an option to keep her from using apps you don't want her to have on her device.

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.

Everytime I try to copy and paste, Firefox stops responding. Why?

Ever since I updated to the latest version of Firefox, if I try to copy and paste anything, Firefox stops responding. If I try to paste in another program such as Skype or AIM, that program stops responding too. What can I do to stop this?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"
