How do I move a file from a memory stick to a an external drive using a mac (copy paste doesnt work)

How do I move a file from one memory stick to another using mac pro? copy paste doesnt work

Have you tried simply dragging the file from one stick to the other? Do you know the format of the memory sticks (Macs can't write to those formatted as NTFS without the use of third-party software)?

I cannot get Copy & Paste to work in iOS 5

I cannot get Copy & Paste to work on my iPhone or my iPad since updating to iOS 5.1
I can copy and paste within an app, buy copying from one app, then going into another, Paste is not available.
Anyone one else having this isuue? I have tried rebooting both devices but no change.

I just checked this out by opening a doc in PlainText and copying some sameple text that I typed. I hit enter a couple of times, pressed on the screen, the paste button appeared and I was able to paste no problem.
I then opened a fresh document in Pages and pressed on the screen to open the paset button and got the text to paste into the Pages doc with no problem.
You may have a glitch in your iOS 5.1 update. You might try doing a reset all settings reset and set the phone as a new one (You should not lose any data, or media) You will need to go in and reset any changes you may have made in settings as this set all of them back to factory defaults but your music, pictures, data, email accounts etc. will not be erased.
If this doesn't work you may need to reinstall the iOS again.I think you can do this through iTunes but am not 100% sure. You may need to take it to your local genius bar (Hope you have one close to your house) and ask them to reinstall the OS for you.

Copy & Paste Stopped Working - DW8

Hi,
I read about this happening in DW8 on PCs. I used to be able to copy & paste text..let's say from an email into my DW design window but it stopped working last week. I don't know if maybe I turned something off?? Now I can only paste onto my code window..which is fine and all but not convenient at all.
I tried doing what they suggested for PCs....forcing DW to make a new panelset.xml file but it didn't seem to change anything.
Any help?
Thank you!!!!!

It was fixed by something as simple as rebooting my system.
Sorry to panic but if anyone else has this problem try the old reboot and it may help.

Why is Copy & Paste not working on CS5 on my Mac?

I'm using two different .psd files - on one, copy/paste (or Cmd+C, then Cmd+V) works perfectly after I have made a selection - it creates a new layer. On the other, this doesn't happen at all. I would attache the file but I don't think I can...
In any case, they are both simple files for Photoshop beginners. The one started out the same as the other, but I went through some basic steps in my learning, and now I am unable to copy/paste in the second file...
Does anyone have any ideas why this might have occurred? Thanks.

I don't know why the problem is happening, but an alternative to try is Cmd+J to duplicate a selection to a new layer.
You can attach a screenshot of Photoshop when the problem is occurring. It's important that the Layers panel is open in the screenshot. Use Shift+Cmd+3 for a screenshot of the whole screen, which will be dumped on the desktop as a PNG file. Attach the PNG to a forum message by using the little camera button above the message entry field of a reply to this post. Note that attachments won't make it to the forum by email.

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

Copy/Paste stopped working

Hi there,
I've been using RD for quite a while at home to control 2 more macs from my imac, and one of the features i use the most is Copy/Paste between the computers, but a couple days ago, i noticed that this features stopped working. I have no idea why this might be, and I can't find any specific reason for it to happen in the manual.
Could someone try to help me?
Thank you very much.

Why is copy/paste not working directly?

Hi,
I have some problems when I try to copy/paste from Illustrator to PhotoShop. There is an error from Illustrator when I try to do so: " The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [Parm]".
What I did so far:
     - Do the updates
     - Run Illustrator with the 64bit version
     - Reset default configuration on most of my settings in Illustrator
I found a workaround that allow me to do the operation but takes me a lot longer. I copy the part of the image that I want and then I paste it in a new document in Illustrator. From this new document, I do another Copy and then. it let me paste it to my PhotoShop.
Specs:
Windows 7 pro 64bit
HP WorkStation Z230 (F1L56UT)
Intel Xeon E3-1245V3 @3.4Ghz
16 Gig
240 Gig SSD + 1000 Gig
Thanks in advance for your time!

Cut copy paste dosent work in 3.0

What am I doing wrong. In the tutorials it gives options of cut/copy. When I hi-light/select type from any source it just gives COPY, which turns blue when I touch it - but then goes away and nothing happens.
wassup?

Sounds as if it is working. If you get the option to copy the box may contract, you then widen it to select the amount of text you need, the Copy button appears, push it, go to your other app, like notes and you'll get an option to paste.
The shrinking selection box is, I suspect your problem, if you don't try and copy almost straight away, it stops asking. So I'm guessing this is the thing that's tripping you up.

Copy/Paste not working in Firefox v23 & v24 without ZoneAlarm installed

Recently I updated my Firefox from version 22 to 23 and I noticed copy and paste text from web pages in Firefox to other applications like notepad and even Firefox not working in my windows 8 x86. Copying text from other apps like notepad and pasting to Firefox works fine!
I also updated it to beta v24 and same problem is still there. I don't have any issue with IE.
BTW I don't have ZoneAlarm Installed.

Hi ehsan453,
If it works when you boot Windows in Safe Mode then it is likely that your security software is causing this problem.
Other programs apart form ZoneAlarm can cause such issues as well.
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

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

Copy Command Doesnt work in Premiere CS6!

When you set your in and out points on your timeline, and then do the copy command, it will not paste your in and out to your selected timeline! I did some research and found a workaround:
Set your in/out
Lift
Undo (cnrtl Z)
Copy (cntrl C)
Paste to selected timeline (control V)
It's nice to know the feature is in there, and that it is simply broken...please fix!
-Joe

Unfortunately, CC does seem to be more finicky than CS6. Once it's running, it's usually very stable. But there do seem to be a LOT of people that have trouble just getting it running.
If you ever solve that, CC allows you to use even unsupported cards for GPU acceleration just by turning it on.

Copy paste stops working lion

Amazed to find, I open a PDF, select text, click 'Edit Copy'...
Go to text edit, click 'Edit Paste', and nothing happens.
If I did not have something on the clipboard, paste does not appear.
Crazy huh, a 'fundamental feature' regression is able to occur.

It's a bad PDF of course... But well, meh.

Copy/paste not work for Word attachments?

Update went fine, and I love it - but apparently I can't copy from a Word doc. Is this normal?

I was able to see the equations display correctly on my iPhone; however, both my gmail using firefox and my adviser's email can't read the equation pictures at all.
