Copy/Past Not Working, New MacBook Pro

Hello! I've seen this issue addressed in a few different forums, but no solution has been offered.
I have a new MacBook Pro and have been having this issue all evening. I can copy and paste in the same window, but I can't copy and paste from a different window, which is kind of the point of paste and copy, at least in my situation.
Can someone help me out?

Often times problems like this are caused by incompatible third party software.
Does this problem persist when logging in as a different user, e.g., Guest?
Does this problem persist when starting up in Safe Mode?
It will probably be helpful to see a system profile via EtreCheck.
P.S. If your machine is new you should be able to get free support from Apple. Contact Apple Support - Apple Support

I bought a second hand G4 iBook with iLife 09 on it. I have copied iLife to my new Macbook Pro. The applications would not open, so I did a software update and update all three applications, but they will still not open. Can anyone help?

The seller should have given you the original disk so that you can reinstall as needed. But it likely was a single-user license (which really means single computer) so you can only have a copy on one computer at a time. If the seller didn't give you the disk he is probably still using the software on his new Mac. Your best option to get any of the iWork apps to use in OS X 10.6.6 or later is through the Mac App Store. You can then install them on any Mac you have that has access to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID.

I have upgraded ML but when the MBP tries to restart with the upgrade the MBP does not restart so I susapect the ML upgrade is not complete ? When you refer to 10.8.5 supplemental is this a separate upgrade ? When I connect the Thunderbolt to the MBP the Thunderbolt charges my MBP & I can play music from iTunes via the Thunderbolt. It is only the display that is not working on the Thunderbolt

Generally signing out and signing in (signing out and back into the Creative Cloud application ) will fix this. If it isn't resolving the issue for you, let us know what you see and we can try something else.

Copying iPhoto Library to new MacBook Pro

I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro primarily to use when travelling. I also have a iMac which will continue to be my main mac. I naively thought that by using Migration Assistant I'd be able to copy/transfer all the stuff I have on my iMac (iTunes Library, iPhoto Library etc....) to the MacBook Pro but it's clearly not as simple as that.
Can someone please help me to get the content on my iMac to the Pro and is there a way to update any new photos etc automatically from my iMac to the Pro? It's worth adding that I also have a Time Capsule which is used for backing up from the iMac.
All help gratefully appreciated!!

I don't know what problems you've had, but I was able to do that with Migration Assistant.
To move your Library:
1. Connect the two Macs together
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder on the iMac to the same location on the new one.
3. Launch iPhoto.
That's all there is to it..
is there a way to update any new photos etc automatically from my iMac to the Pro?
Yes, simply use the Pro as a back up location and back the library up using an app like DejaVu.
However, this will work only as long as you use the Pro as a back up for the iMac. If you add photos to the Pro and then try and sync the two you may damage either Library.
Alternatively, you can use iPhoto Library Manager to move Photos, Events and Albums, plus associated metadata between Libraries.

Internal mic not working on macbook pro

Hello,
A few days ago I was trying to use my macspeech dictate software on my new macbook pro for the first time, I had to plug in the mic it came with and it would not work. Now my internal mic will not work at all in any other programs. I made sure it was selected under system preferences but for some reason it does not pick up on any sounds. I have my computer all up to date with version 10.6.8. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Thank you

I doubt that the update did it, My daughter Macbook has it too and it is a general update of Yosemite. But, if you can backup your files you could go to the restore partition and reinstall Yosemite. The reinstall only installs the operating system and usually does not alter any of the other files. But having a backup is always a good idea. You can start by holding down Option or Option R at startup to do the reinstall.I cannot tell you that this will fix the internal mic problem as it could be that it is defective.

Old Macbook connects to corporate ethernet --- but not my new Macbook Pro

I've now tried nearly everything to solve this problem: My old white plastic Macbook connects to the corporate LAN --- but not my new mid-2009 Macbook Pro.
All the settings are the same. I have on occasion managed to connect the new Macbook Pro to the network but only for a short time.
Our IT folks have checked the cable, the ports,routers etc and everything is just fine.
I am able to connect to the network from other ports in the office --- but not from my office (except with the old white plastic Macbook).
Please, can someone help?

If you can connect when using other ports in your office the problem is almost a certainty that the issue is with the port you can't connect with. Did your IT guy switch ports at the switch side to one that is known to work? We can't troubleshoot your LAN and it sounds like your computer is set up correctly if it connects using other ports.

Lightroom not working on Macbook Pro (2014)

I've just bought a new Macbook Pro, 2.8 Ghz i7, and I've installed Lightroom 5.6 via the Creative Cloud. Everytime I open the software, after the splash screen, all I've got is a grey window (where the actual software should be displayed). Also, I've noticed the top menu is reduced to only "File, Edit, Window and Help".
I've tried uninstalling and installing a few times, and the problem persists.
Here's what happens:
I've also tried downloading Lightroom 4, that actually works (but since my previous laptop already had the Lightroom 5, I've lost a lot of presets, so, I don't consider a downgrade an option).
Any clue on how to work around this problem?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
Can you please provide screen shots or a screen recording of the issue your experiencing? Capturing the Timeline panel, Program monitor and Effects panel would be helpful.
This will allow us to see exactly what your setup it and hopefully allow us to reproduce the issue.
Thank you,

De-interlace Filter not working with MacBook Pro

Anyone know about or experience anything similar? Ever since I started using FCP HD on my new MacBook Pro the Flicker and De-Interlace Filters cause severe video defects in the clip that I apply them to. Perhaps something to do with Intel chip? Any help would be well appreciated.

i just put a flicker and deinterlace filter on some test clips and they look fine
what codec are your clips? what codec is your sequence? what other hardware are you using? how are you monitoring the video? can you be more specific about the nature and symptoms of the problem? are you using FCP 5.1.1?

Save for Web not working on MacBook Pro

Just got a new MacBook Pro (OSX 10.5.7) and installed my CS3 Design Premium Premium, with PS Extened. Save for web window comes up fine and I can access and change any setting. The problem comes when I hit Return and the window pops up asking where to save the file. It doesn't let me click on anything or even hit Enter to let it save where is.
I've trashed the Save for web prefs and restarted PS without any luck.
Any ideas? TIA.
Mike

Trash your Photoshop preferences. Refer to the FAQs if you don't know how.

Message not working in MacBook Pro

Message is in my apps, but I cannot get it to signin. It works OK on my iPhone, iPad, a MiniMac and another MacBookPro. It is allowed in security incoming settings. How can I get this to start working on this MacBook PRO 15"?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

Cannot Drag anything, copy + paste not working

My shiny new macbook was working great until this morning, when things went rather awry.
I have no idea why, but I cannot copy and paste any text (either using apple-c or the edit menu) and I am unable to drag anything such as files or safari interface components. (I somehow managed to get rid of the address bar and I cannot drag it back)
Does anyone have any idea why it would be doing this?
I've just noticed that copy and paste works in TextMate, but not in camino or safari

I have this issue as well and have put a thread here with Apple Support Communities
I can copy/paste on the iMac's Hard Hrive to any folder with no restictions. If I try to copy/paste to an outside source i.e. USB – DVDRW – external HDD or NAS, it does not give the PASTE option in the drop down menu. If I drag and drop a file, I get a circle with the line through it when placed in the folder and does not copy/paste. I think that’s an error or stop signal.
In Mavericks I can copy/paste to a mapped drive on my NAS, only if I first right click on NAS Drive icon and go to ‘Get-Info’ and in the General area’s Tick the ‘Unlock’ box. As soon as I have finished pasting, the lock box ticks again by it's self.
If I right click on the USB and go to ‘Get-Info’, in the General area I only get a Share Folder Tick box and not an Unlock Tick box. Share does not allow paste to activate in the drop-down menu
How do we permanently Unlock Mavericks’ paste, Apple?
Thank you
