Copy and Paste: Only works for some phrases

Since the update to IOS8, I've been experiencing problems with the copy and paste function with certain pieces of text. Some will appear to copy fine but often won't paste and I will instead get an older item from my 'clip board' rather than the one I just recently copied.
This doesn't apply to in-app buttons, like YouTube's copy link feature under the share icon; these links copy and paste fine.
I'm using the Swift Keyboard and I believe this contributes to the problem in some way. Any thoughts?
This is becoming increasingly frustrating and inconvenient. Please help!

Ugg I totally knew you would all say that (because I already knew that would offer me the easiest solution), change hosts and now I'm embarrassed to say that YES I am paying for the hosting; BUT, I have to explain that I'm with this hosting company because way back when I started that site I needed something super user friendly because I was just learning. Now I have learned more and have started to use Dreamweaver. I just stayed with the same hosting and will use FTP to upload my new more updated site. In the company's defense even though they do offer a way to FTP a site up, their main objective (I think) is to have a really easy way for people to get a site up without knowing anything about code or css or anything; and they operate under the assumption that MOST of their customers will be using their super easy software and not use FTP. That is why I think they are limited to what they offer, at least that is my take on it. My more recent sites do not use this company as I have tried to learn and 'move up'.
Anyway I guess if I don't want to switch hosting I still have the same problem. Is it really that difficult to make something that has just one use ID and password which would be the same thing for every person? Might be a great learning experience for me?
Yep it might be time for me to switch hosting.... sigh. What to do.....

How can I get Copy and Paste to work?

It doesn't work with the key pad, ctrl v, or in edit. Copy and paste always worked for me and just quit working a few days ago. I have not done anything different with the computer- no new programs, setting changes, etc. I just can't paste anymore. Why might this have happened and what can I do? I've looked through the forums and haven't found any real solutions. It's really frustrating to get anything done without that function!

Mollexter,
did you mean Command-V rather than Control-V? (Control-V is used for pasting in Windows.)
Have you been able to confirm that it is pasting that is not working, rather than copying not working? (If copy doesn’t work, then there would be nothing to paste.) Try cutting with Command-X, then pasting; does the pasting work then?
In the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, have a look through the Shortcuts section. Has any other shortcut been set to use Command-V (or Command-C, if it’s actually a problem with copying)?

Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work?

I did the fix a few times and restarted firefox, with no success. Also, I installed the latest version of firefox and it is slower now. I have to use firefox for school, otherwise I would just find another way.

In what way is Firefox slow?
Is this all the time or only with loading web pages?
What kind of fix do you mean with: ''Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work'' ?

Copy and paste not working across all apps in lion

Copy and paste stops working across all apps in lion. It maybe some compatibility issue. After a reboot I am able to copy and paste but at some point it stops functioning.

I am also having this problem. After running for a while copy/paste stops working, whether from menus or using the keyboard equivalents.

How can I get copy and paste to work in Lion?

Never had any problem using copy and paste function on my old iMac (Snow Leopard OS X). Just bought a new iMac with Lion. Now, the copy and paste function won't work.
Tried to copy and paste a web link into a Mail message unsuccessfully (tried select text, command C, then command V- no luck. Then tried select text, menu bar Edit- Copy, then Edit-Paste- No luck. Last, tried right-click menu,Copy, then right-click Paste- no luck). Also, selected some text in an email message and tried to copy and paste it elsewhere in the same email message- no luck. Opened TextEdit and used all the above techniques and could not copy and paste into TextEdit. Also could not use copy and paste to work in Safari when I tried it when working in a gmail message.
This is extremely frustrating. I searched but could not find a fix that addressed this precise issue.
Please help. When suggesting fixes, please recognize that I'm an intermediate user- not a beginner, but also not an advanced techie.
Thanks much.

Something seems to be interfering with those functions.
Two troubleshooting steps to try.
First, boot into Safe Mode and see if it still occurs. If it doesn't, then there is some third-party program interfering.
To boot into Safe Mode, hold down the shift key on restart when you hear the tone. Hold until the gray screen. It does take longer to boot as it runs some checks. It will also boot to the login screen regardless of your login settings.
Second, try a new user account. If it works there, it is isolated to your particular account and not the whole system.

Copy and paste stopped working...

My Copy and Paste function works on and off, sometimes not at all.
The problem has been around for months.
I have a 2008 13inch Macbook Pro
running Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5
HELP!!
If it is at all relevant, frequently, and for way longer than my Copy & Paste has been malfunctioning, my keyboard randomly jumps th cursor position...

If you haven't already done so, log out or restart the computer and see whether there's an improvement.

Cross app copy and paste stoped working with 5.1 any suggestions?

After over the air upgrade to 5.1 on Verizon cross app copy and paste stopped working. Copy in one app no past option in the other. I have tried power cycling to no avail. Any suggestions prior to restoring the phone with iTunes?

Having the same problem. AT&T iPad. No help from anyone yet. :-/

Hello all, I bought an iPhone 5 in the US and brought it back to Brasil. Now I'm trying to use Siri, but once I press the "home" button "voice control" appears and it only works for me to call my contacts. The manual guide tells me to go to Settings Gene

Hello all,
I bought an iPhone 5 in the US and brought it back to Brasil. Now I'm trying to use Siri, but once I press the "home" button "voice control" appears and it only works for me to call my contacts. The manual guide tells me to go to Settings>General>Siri. At the General menu "Siri" doesn't appear. What should I do to set Siri up if it doesn't appear at settings>general?
Thank you,
Melanie.

Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure Siri is set to On.

"copy and paste" not working only offers "cut"

I have a client working on an 11" MacBook Air purchased early this year reporting that she cannot access copy and paste across applications:
"At the moment I can’t COPY anything in Word or indeed any other documents, including emails etc. Driving me mad. Only the CUT option comes up - and as I’m working against a deadline… "
And she also reports this issue with Apple Mail which seems to have lost its preference file settings:
"Also bloody Mail programme has now changed its layout and everything is bloody FIXED - so I can’t move it about the screen while I dig up another document I need to refer to. It wasn’t like this before… again very labour intensive and irritating. I have to use my online Google mail to get around this resistance… "
I have suggested that she uses Disk Utility to repair permissions on her Hard Disk and then restart in Safe Mode to see whether Copy and Paste is restored and also that Mail is back in order, through a corrupted Preference file may require resetting.
Any body else seen any of these symptoms or have any thoughts as to a cause and a possible solution. At the back of my mind is the thought that she may have been hit by a Trojan. I'm reminded of the strange symptoms experienced by clients using MS Office when the Flashback Trojan struck in 2012.
Any help appreciated.

I have found various other explanations – still following links discovered through DuckDuckGo – raising the possibility that other utilities may be interfering, such as Koteri for those switching between English and Japanese and perhaps the most likely explanation, that my client has accidentally engaged some element of the Accessibility controls.
For the Koteri explanation see this Microsoft Community Forum response:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2008-macpowerpoint/cannot- paste-objects-in-powerpoint-2008-for-mac/7d0f7bbf-dc49-4496-b1fd-2a4cf36b12f7
For the Accessibility thought about the activation of Mouse Keys see this Ask Different Forum response:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2008-macpowerpoint/cannot- paste-objects-in-powerpoint-2008-for-mac/7d0f7bbf-dc49-4496-b1fd-2a4cf36b12f7
If you have ever inadvertently engaged keyboard zoom you will know how odd the Mac feels with such changed behaviours in place. Perhaps my client did thunder on the option key 5 times in a moment of frustration and make the leap into a parallel universe where the reassurance of Copy and Paste does not apply.
I'll report back once I've investigated further.

Copy and Paste not working in the apple email app

I have an iPhone 3GS and copy and paste works fine everywhere else. For some reason, copy and paste will not function in the email app. Is this normal? When advertising copy and paste, Apple's website describes being able to copy and paste in email. I understand that paste shouldn't show up when reading a received email, only copy or select. But I am getting no options. The weird thing is, if I double tap a word or paragraph, the highlighting tool shows up. I am able to adjust what text is highlighted with the "bars." But once I take my finger off the highlighting tool, no option menu pops up. The text remains highlighted with no ability to click copy. Also, the highlighting tool only appears if I double tap. If I hold my finger down, a magnifying glass appears with a curser (but no keyboard b/c it is a received message) yet if I take my finger off, a "select" or "select all" doesn't appear. Clearly something has to be wrong right, otherwise why would I be able to highlight text? Anyone else have this issue/ know how to fix it / suggested troubleshooting tips?

copy&paste does behave differently in mail than other apps... i have found that if you hold for the magnifier to appear then slightly drag left and let go you then get the select button...
while in other apps just tapping grabs the selection... it's def. different in mail but it is there!

Cut, Copy and Paste not working Photoshop CC

Cut, Copy and Paste are not working in Photoshop CC.
I tried resetting my tools and preferences, using edit > purge, reinstalling Photoshop CC and reinstalling OSX. Nothing has worked! Help!

For about 2 weeks I had this problem and today I fixed it!
Didn't fancy doing a Reset of Firefox as I'd only just done one a few months ago, manually.
Basically, I uninstalled ZoneAlarm. I've been a ZoneAlarm fan for years but the software just got worse and worse and for about a year this weird thing pops up while I'm in Firefox by pressing CTRL Enter or something, it's like ZoneAlarm has put some kind of layer between me and the browser.
Anyway, uninstalled it, it rebooted and did a scandisk which did find and fix a few errors too, so could also be that.
But I'm happy without ZA now as I've found a better one called Online Armour... non of that sneaky trying to install toolbars in your browser rubbish of ZA.
Hope this helps!
I can't tell you how good it feels to have copy & paste fully working again!

Cut and Paste not working for specific client?

Gui Gurus,
I have recently upgraded some users to Gui 710 Patch 8. However on one users install, she cannot copy and paste the entire content of a cell. For example:
If she copies aaaabbbbbccccdddd, she'll only get aaaabbbbbcccc. For some reason it gets truncated.
I have tried this on my identical install and can do the exact same cut and paste for the same input field fine. I did a reinstall of her Gui, but that did not help. I checked her user parameters and could not find anything to alter this behavior. I tried "Quick Cut and Paste" also, and that yielded the same incorrect results. I did not see anything else in the Options / I18N that would alter this?
Any ideas where to look?
Thanks,
Jeff Martens
Basis Admin.

Martin,
Thanks for the reply. I did try the cut & paste option in the expert tab and that did not work.
I am copying from a normal user input field to another input field. This is not static text that you would have to CTRL+Y to copy.
Thanks,
Jeff

Copy and Paste not working properly in MLion

A week or so ago I purchased and installed the upgrade to Mountain Lion OS X. Whenever I try to copy large number of files from one folder to onother in my desktop, the copy and paste process does not.
Copy/Paste of a few files works, different from the previous OS system but works. However, if I copy 3000 files or more then the computer slows down significantly or freezes. The little colorful spinning wheel replaces the cursor arrow and cannot use anything else in the computer. I need to abort the finder (op+com+esc) to stop the process. While copying large number of files the copy status bar never appears to show the copying process. I was used to see the copy status window with information about the number of files, their size, time remaining and the little bar in the middle growing from left to right as the copy process continued. None of this happens with MLion.
I called Apple for service. I spent hrs with their customer service people on the phone who suggested a number of things that we implemented to try to correct the problem. Nothing worked! Finally they asked me to reinstall MLion and so I did. The problem was not fixed. They asked me turn on, off, unplug the computer, etc. and nothing fixed the problem.
In sum I just want my old OS system that used to work fine. MLion is substandard, we do not want our money back we just want the computer to work as it used to so we can return to be productive again. Any suggestion on how to reinstall SLeopard without having to reinstall every single piece of software in the computer? Thanks.

I am actually CUTTING and Pasting (CMD+C, CMD-OPTION-V) and Finder gets stuck either with the keyboard or dragging (Holding CMD to Move the Files)
I was downloading Midi files from a reliable website that I've using for years www.vgmusic.com. I was using Safari, so I downloaded Midi soundfiles from a particular videogame using the ALT key to speed things up. Say I downloaded 120 small (10-100KB ) files. I SHIFT selected them from the Downloads Folder and then I dragged them with CMD to place them in my 500GB (the non-system) partition. It got stuck. File is being used, was the message given.
So I thought it was Safari-related, so I switched to Firefox and downloaded another batch and dragged them to my Midi folder on the 500GB. Same thing. I've restarted and quit all open programs. I thought it was an external drive that was hogging access, so I unplugged all my external HDDs (320GB FAT32, 1GB NTFS, 3GB HFS+).
I also thought that VLC was the culprit so I reinstalled it and erased the preferences. Now it is not running.
Now I have some greyed-out files that are zero-kilobytes in the destination folder.
Let's say I try to move the first one "pkrs_petersburg.mid" and "pokecenter.mid" , this appears,
A message saying "preparing to move to "PokemonRSE" "preparing to move 2 files". Come on, I would expect to see this if the files were large, these are 23KB and 9KB!!
The message is in French and it means "It's not possible to move the file "pokecenter.mid" right now because it is being used by another task, such as the copying or moving of a file or the emptying of the Trash. Try again once the task is finished.
The other message (from a previous attempt) is "It is not possible to place all selected files in the same place: at least one of them, named "pokecenter.mid" is being used."
I already emptied out my Trash!

Copy and paste stopped working in photoshop CC

I've been using Photoshop CC since march and this is a new issue. Not previously a problem until today.
When I select and area to copy, from a JPEG or photoshop PSD photograph, and make a new file to paste it into, the new file comes up the same size as the clipboard contents, as it is meant too, but photoshop will no longer allow me to paste. The selection EDIT, Paste is still there in black, not greyed out. I temporarily fixed it by restarting my computer and it worked until I closed Photoshop down again and reopened it, problem is back...what is going on?
Is it to do with preferences and how do I change them to fix this?
the only thing I've changed recently was telling JPEG files to use photoshop as the default programme to open up in my computer. I changed this because Bridge was no longer showing photoshop as an option when you rightclick an image and chose which file to use to open it. The fix was to close Bridge, chose a jpeg and change the default to photoshop to open it.
I'm running windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
any help recieved with thanks....

Thanks again,I did manage to delete the preferences using your method above. but again, copy and paste using PSD files still not resolved.
Copy and paste works for PNG GIFF JPEG files but not for PSD
OK thanks to Curt Y, I suggest the solution is to do the preferences first, then the purging.
I went back and purged the clipboard again after resetting the preferences and now it appears to be fixed.
thank you
