Copy and paste In safari

II'm having huge problems with safari after upgrading to IOS 8.0.2. I have no ipad mini wifi only. It's extremely slow at loading pages. Sometimes not at all. Most recently I found that copy and past is frozen on a link form before. Seems I can copy a new link and past it in the new tab but not to a new app. It always paste the old link in the new app. Same issue when copy and pasting into safari from another app. It works just fine with other apps just not safari. Always paste the old
iink. This is driving me nut I've resorted to using another browser. Its very rare I uses a secondary app that is native unless it just no longer usable IE calendar ap.
anyone else having this issue? Any ideas?

Hi kdhkdh,
In the typical Mac application, including Safari, you can copy items such as text or pictures by selecting the item to be copied and then either using the Edit menu > Copy or the keyboard shortcut Command-C. Paste is accomplished by selecting the location you wish to paste into and then Edit menu > Paste or the keyboard shortcut Command-V. See this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

No longer able to copy and paste from safari.

When trying to copy and paste from safari to Pages or Mail it continues to paste the original coppiced information. In my online school environment (java) I am not able to copy and paste from safari to other programs. I was able to do this without problem before upgradeing to ios5.

jmgoldjr,
Same issue here and I have spoke with Apple support and actually had them log on to my University website and demo'ed the issue for themselves. This was only yesterday and the response was it would take 5-6 days for upper level support to get back to me for further analysis.
What exactly is happening is when I copy text from my school website, the text is never copied to the clipboard so subsequently when I past it somewhere else it just pastes whatever exists in the clipboard from the previous use.
Did you ever resolve your issue or find a work-around? If not I will gladly update this post when I hear more. My wife's iPad on 4.3.3 is functions perfectly in the same regard. Apple agree's it is a software issue but like simply require more time to diagnose.
Your University wouldn't happen to be Phoenix would it?
Thanks.

I want to translate some items but i cannot copy and paste into safari

i want to translate some items, but i cannot copy and paste from my clipboard into translator page using safari .
no, control-c just clunks a no-can-do warning

Thank you Carolyn, but I need to compare and contrast with Google, Microsoft and Babylon to sort out what is being said ... along with my own limited understanding of the language and topic ...
I have found that if I copy text it is in my clipboard with firefox, but I must paste from the firefox edit menu - not command v -
Unfortunately, I can find no workaround for Safari.
Thanks again Carolyn.

Copy and Paste from Safari to MS Word Text Form Field adds a trailing space

I know this is just a minor issue, but an inconvenience for me nonetheless.
When I go to the same page and copy and paste the same text from Firefox, the trailing space is not added.
What I find puzzling is that when I paste the same copied text into notepad from Safari, it does not add the trailing space.
So it is likely an issue with MS Word's method of pasting text, but strange to me that it does not happen from Firefox.
Is there a way to inspect the exact contents of the clipboard to see if there are any differences?
I just did a little bit more testing, and found that Word only adds an trailing space when I paste into a "Text Form Field" from only Safari.
Maybe the solution is to stop using MS Word. (Ha, Ha)

OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
The other, current, method I have been using is to:
1. select and copy the text in Safari
2. paste text into notepad
3. select and copy text from notepad
4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
Or in Firefox:
1. select and copy the text in Firefox
2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

Copy and Paste on Safari 5.0.2 does not retain formatting

Hi there.
I'm on Safari 5.0.2. and when I copy and paste something (in this case, on a message board--vBulletin, but it doesn't work on anything else) it does not retain the original formatting (for example--bold, italics, underline, etc.) If I copy something from Safari and paste it into another program, TextEdit for example, the formatting remains and works fine.
This is extremely annoying. Anyone have any ideas?
*If you're on Safari, try copying* and *pasting this sentence in a reply* --it will remove all the formatting for some reason. It will work in TextEdit, however. It's not just this message board software either...try it somewhere else too.

Hi
copying formatted text & pasting in Safari does retain the formatting, so long as the place you're pasting it supports varying fonts/styles.
So copy/paste here, just shows as plain text.
c/p to blogger.com in the 'compose' tab - works fine
c/p to blogger in the 'html' tab - plain text
same with textedit: paste from safari to textedit +in a plain text document+ -you get plain text.

Font changes when copy and paste url (Safari to Mail)

When copy from iphone 5 (vs 7.1.2-& no I don't want to update yet ) Safari, a URL/web address and paste into MAIL app, the font changes and won't paste in the same format as the email I've been typing. Is there any way to correct this? Also, anything I type after the paste keeps that same "other" format, when I want what I had started email in to stay the same.
I tho't I"d look at some settings and under iphone Accessibiilty I have Larger Text ON and Bold Text chosen, and Reduce Motion ON. Under GENERAL and TEXT SIZE I have it set to 4th choice up. I don't see any MAIL settings re FONT. Would any of these be the cause?

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!

Why can't i copy and paste from safari into email?

I am able to select text, copy it, but nothing happens after pasting it to the an email or notes.

Do you wait until the Copy button turns blue and then does the Paste button turns blue when you paste the text?

I can't copy and paste on Safari.

I cannot copy anything from Safari nor paste anything into my url bar nor any textbox on websites. What shall I do?

When you used Safari reset it clears alot of accumulated data stuff. Perhaps you can do some maintenance proceedures which can help. Here is a link to a tip sheet by user d s store explaining how to do some of these things.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
Some to consider would be:
2: PRAM reset
7. Hold Shift key boot for "Safe Mode"
11: Disk Utility > Repair Permissions
12: OnyX cache cleaning
If you want to try to delete the Safari prefs then this would be the way.
13: Corrupt Preferences files
Just be sure to export the bookmarks ( under the Safari file menu) so that you can import them if needed after trashing the Safari prefs

Copy and paste between apps not possible in iOS 5, suggestions?

What happened to being able to copy and paste between apps (i.e. copy something I want in Safari and paste in an email or from an Excel attachment to an email)?

Copy and paste ios 5

Are anybody working on copy and paste problem on ios5? I thought that it will be fixed in 5.0.1 but not, still I can't copy and paste from Safari to email attachments or paste images.

The copy and paste feature hasn't changed in iOS 5. If it doesn't work for you, maybe you should consider restoring the iPad to factory settings and then rebuild your iPad - adding the content back to the device slowly and carefully.
You could even try restoring from a backup, which is not as painful or time consuming, and it just might work for you.

When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.
This does not happen in Safari.

Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.
