Copy & Paste Doesn't Work

I'm using InDesign CS3 on a couple of different Macs on Leopard and Snow Leopard. When I save a document I usually copy (command-C) the name in the "Save as" field, create a new folder, and then paste (command-V) the name into the "Name of new folder" field, and finally save the document into the newly created folder. In previous versions of InDesign (and every other application) this worked fine. Now, in CS3, when I go to paste into the new folder field nothing happens. So, I have to stop, grab the mouse and select Paste from the Edit menu. Is there a way to restore the keyboard Paste command?

Hi,
Are you able to copy and paste in the putty session, with mouse or keyboard?

Please restart your PC to check whether you can get back the copy and paste function. It can be caused by some compatibility issue.
Please also run "sfc /scannow", check if it find and fix any errors.

Copy Paste doesn't work during and after a remote login session

Hi
I am using a Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 laptop to login into Linux. I am using Putty and Xming to SSH and view the desktop. Whenever I start a session the copy paste functionality gets disabled in my laptop,i.e., I cannot copy text from one text
file to another or within the same text file. The copy paste doesn't work even upon closing the connection.
From what I have gathered it is not possible to copy from one computer(host) to another(guest) during a remote login session but I am not able to copy within my windows laptop.
Is there some setting that I need to change to prevent it from happening? What are the possible solutions?
Thank You
Rishabh

Copy/Paste doesn't work in Address Bar and Smart Search Field

Yeah, that's true. Say, I copied a sentence from a site. When I try to paste that sentence into 'Smart Search Field' and press 'Enter'. It doesn't work! Same thing happens when I try to paste a URL into Address Bar/Smart Address Field. What's going on? Anyone else having this problem?
PS - In case you're wondering what 'Smart Search Field' is, here's a pic http://images.apple.com/safari/images/features-search-smartsearch-20090528.jpg

Yes, I've got that too. It's not clear why it hits some people and not others. Haven't seen any commonalities among the reports that I can tell at the moment.
Some workarounds discussed in this thread:

IPad 2 has slowed down copy paste is not working it hangs when filling in user name , please do something to solve all these problems ,Apple please wake up

IiPad 2 has slowed down with ios8 copy paste is not working it hangs when you try to fill up forms ,Apple engineers you need to do something fast

Apple engineers do not participate here. Have you updated to iOS 8.1 which was just release yesterday? Have you done any other troubleshooting? If you haven't start here.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
Now close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If those three things made no difference, try this. Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
If all of that fails, restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad before you restore, then restore the backup when you are done. If that still doesn't help, restore your iPad as new and start all over again. Most purchased content can be downloaded again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID and as long as the content is still available in the store.

Copy & Paste problem stops working

I've been experiencing an unusual issue with the copy and paste function on my MacBook Pro. The copy & paste function appears to work fine after I've restarted the computer, but after a short period (can be hours or days) the copy & paste function stops working. Instead of copying the highlighted section (usually I'm copying text) when I go to paste the text, all I appear to get is one space. As I use this feature countless time in the run of a day (copying from mail, Daylite, NeoOffice, Text Edit...)this is turning out to be very annoying.
I have recently re-installed "MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.11Intel.dmg" to see if that made any difference, and everything seemed to be working great for about 5 days, then the same issue started again. If I shut down and re-start my Mac, it seems to offer a temporary solution to the issue.
I have not tried re-installing the operating system.
Thanks in advance.

Amazingly, I found this looking for a fix for the exact same problem. Mine started today, though it could have been yesterday as I don't remember using copy or paste yesterday.
The one change I have made in the last 48 hours is that I installed the MS Office SP 1 update that just came out. I know it was working right after that update because I was using copy/paste in Word.
The other difference I've found is that a restart doesn't seem to fix mine. I just restarted and still no copy/paste - just a single space instead. And you're right, it doesn't matter what you copy, it always pastes just a single space.
I've tried CMDC/CMDV and the menu items to the same effect.
I hope someone has an answer.

Paste doesn't work on IPad, on sites that use frames

I work for MindBody Inc. and a client of ours brought to my attention that paste simply doesn't paste on our site. This is quite annoying for them, and in trying to find a fix, I discovered that a fairly moderate bug in Safari on the IPad. Paste just simply doesn't work in frames.
Does anyone know how I would go about submitting a bug to Apple?
The test:
I've created the following test
frameTest.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Iphone frame test</title>
</head>
<frameset id="mainFrameset" rows="98,*" frameborder="0" framespacing="0" NORESIZE>
<frame name="topFrame" src="brianTest.html" frameborder="0" noresize scrolling="NO" >
<frame name="mainFrame" src="brianTest.html" frameborder="0" scrolling="YES">
</frameset>
</html>
brianTest.html:
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing IPad Paste</title>
</head>
<body>
Testing: <input type="text" name="test" />
</body>
</html>
When browsing the frameTest.html paste doesn't work. It shows up but clicking it pastes nothing.
Going to brianTest.html, paste works as expected.

Same problem with Atomic Web Browser on the websites using frames.
All the "identify web browser as" options have been tested, unsuccessfully.
It seems that the new iPad 4.2 iOS version solves the problem. I will test it on monday and post the results here. Stay tuned, or check it by yourself...

Copy and paste doesn't work

I have attempted to copy values using copy/paste. When I apply the paste nothing is put in the designated cell. I have attempted to copy titles as well and they were not pasted.
I opened a new spreadsheet as a test and found that the copy/paste technique works on it. Why does this work on one spreadsheet and not the other? Have I turned something off or on which prevents this from working on the spreadsheet? Is there a preference that is involved?
I am running Snow Leopard on an iMac.

I had the same problem with a Numbers '09 SS that I got as an email attachment. I couldn't copy and paste cells, no matter what was in the cells. I couldn't move cells or groups of cells. The only thing I could do was highlight the contents of one cell and copy and paste that. But that gets old fast.
So I tried exporting the SS as an Excel document (I don't have Excel, but it doesn't matter) and then opening it again in Numbers. It Worked!! Now I can move and copy and paste cells, columns, rows.

OS X - Copy Paste doesn't seem to Work Here!

Hi...
In AME, I strive to set an output folder. I DONT want to have to write the same name all over again
So I try to copy and paste.
So I click the output path which opens an OS X Browser. I click New Folder and hit Apple+V to paste.
Nothing happens. I have to right-click in the name field and choose PASTE to do that.
Wonder if it is my machine only or a BUG !

Whether the bug is in AME or OS X is rather inconsequential. It affects the AME experience, therefore Adobe needs to be aware of it. If our investigation shows that OS X is the cause of the problem then we can send it to Apple via their developer bug report system.
In this case, I believe it is a bug in AME. Rather, it is an unimplemented feature; it feels like the copy/paste code just never got hooked up to this dialog. Doing so is apparently the responsibility of the app developer, though I also see the argument that Apple should enable it by default. To verify that such behavior was possible, I compared AME's behavior to the same repro steps in After Effects. Copy/paste works with the similar dialog in After Effects, therefore there is reasonable expectation that we can make it work in AME.
(FWIW, that means that yes, I did file this bug already. And no, me filing the bug internally is not a good excuse for you not to do the same if you haven't already. Seriously, folks, bugs filed by customers carry more weight than bugs filed internally. It's proof that our customers are affected by the problem. That doesn't necessarily mean the bug will get fixed faster, but it does give it a better chance.)

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.

Copy and paste doesn't work well in Microfsoft Office

When I want to copy and paste text in a document I select the text with my trackpad. Because I have to do it repetitive and quickly I use the apple c button while my finger is on the trackpad.
I discovered it is not possible to have your finger on the trackpad and press the apple c button at the same time in Microsoft Office. It will not copy anything. A successful copy/paste action is only possible when your fingers are not at the trackpad.
Does anyone knows a solution for this? Thanks!

You should post questions regarding Office on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software, as they're geared more toward the issue than a forum for Apple products:

Copy Function Doesn't Work After Updating user.js File

I tried the Copy Function at the web site www.gogvo.com and got an error message from Firefox that Copy wasn't enabled. I got more info and created a user.js file in my Profile with the above site inserted following directions on the Troubleshooting Help page. I restarted Firefox but still can't use the Copy Function when I right-click a highlighted field to Copy. I have no problem when I use Internet Explorer 9 with my Windows 7 Home Premium. I have the latest version of Firefox. I have no problem copying on other sites, such as MSN Hotmail.

I tried {Ctrl+C} and that doesn't work. I deleted the user.js file and downloaded the allowclipboard-helper file extension, and that doesn't work. I only have this Copy/Paste problem HERE: [http://www.gogvo.com/affiliates/optin_message.php GVO Responder Opt-in Message Edit] and don't have any Copy/Paste problems anywhere else. Is there another solution to try?

Copy/Paste Style not working consistently in iOS Pages

I cannot figure out what is going on with iOS Pages Copy/Paste Styles.
Sometimes it works, but often it doesn't. I copy a style, and then select the text I want to paste the style to, and the 'paste style" option doesn't appear. It's as if no style was copied in the first place. Tried multiple times with the same result.
Also, it is not really clear to me WHAT is included in iOS Pages styles. It appears the font and size is included, but not the color. Not sure about other elements (line spacing, etc.). Is this described completely someplace?

You are not doing, something wrong. I have the same problem.
Past Style, disappears ....
This must be a BUG, in Pages, after the latest update.
Had zero problem, with this before.
Have to over and over again turn off iPad and restart it.
Very, very annoying!
Apple: Fix it! Now!

Tween : copy / paste properties not working on a particular tween

Hello,
I'm making very simple tweens with the "new" (not classic) method.
I want the object to move only after a while so I'm trying to duplicate start position to a later keyframe but, for some reason, it just doesn't work on my project whereas it work on a test file.
I copy and paste properties of the first frame to the other keyframe but it's not applied at all.
1 = start position
2 = keyframe with pasted properties but position is still the same (between 1 and 3)
3 = end position
Any reason why this wouldn't work ? Thanks.

3 is a keyframe. it doesn't matter what you change in keyframe 2. keyframe 3 is unchanged and is expected to remain unchanged unless you change it.
start over and drag the start (keyframe 1) to frame 12 where you want the tween to start. if you want the tween to end on frame 24, remove some frames from that tween after moving its start (and end).
