Copy/paste is disabled

I seem to have killed my copy and paste. It happens in the Finder and my apps. I don't see any way to enable it.
When I try to paste, I get "Copy/paste is disabled" in the field I am trying to paste into.
I have not had a chance to reboot yet.
Thanks,
steve

Where is this happening? If Windoze, then I'm no help. If Mac OS X, that's the first time I've heard of such a problem. A few more details please, especially WRT to any mods you've done to your machine.

Can't copy/paste text!

Somehow copy/paste has been disable on my computer. When I press command V to paste what shows up behind my cursor is "Copy/paste is disabled"
Please help. Did I hit some keys or something? This is a nightmare for a college student with two papers due.

Ok, well a quick google search and I fixed my own problem, here was my resolution:
go to applications folder, utilities, disk utility, chose your HD, then REPAIR DISK PERMISSIONS
A quick restart and everything is fine and dandy again.
Hope this helps someone else!

Feature Request: Disable target tabs setting destination for copy paste

It might have seemed like a good idea at the time but pasting to the targeted layer causes way more problems than it solves. If for instance if I have 10 video tracks which is quite common and wanted to copy and paste a clip to track 10, I have to turn off the target buttons on all 9 tracks below to do that. I do know about option drag which works but sometimes if you're zoomed out you can't get a hold of the clip you are trying to copy. Also I may need one of those layers to help me copy to the right time but now next edit function doesn't stop on them anymore.
What is important is being able to select which tracks you want PPro to stop at when you hit the next edit keys. For instance if I'm doing a color pass I don't want to stop on audio edits or gfx edits. So If I go through that whole process of turning these things off just to clone a clip I then have to turn them all back on. IMO it doesn't make sense to share these two functions with the target buttons and it's just too tedious in the first place to use the target buttons to set paste destination.
What I think would make sense would be an option that says copy paste follows target selection or copy paste to same layer. Then the target buttons would mainly effect which media in your timeline you want to focus on which is way more important IMO. This could also be done with an extra keyboard function. IE paste to same track or paste to targeted track and have both functions available.
Also I think you should have the option of stopping on the ins and outs with the next edit buttons. It's very common to use an in or out as a quick marker for a point in the timeline where there isn't an edit yet.

Yes I know about alt dragging. Not so great to copy a one second clip in an hour long seq way down. That's the point of it. As it is now it will likely copy to a different track then you want it to so you have to go over and start clicking all kinds of buttons to get the thing to not over write something and maybe / probably all off or all on for the target buttons is nothing close to what you need and you had the buttons how you wanted in the first place. And after you paste you have to click more buttons to set that up again.
So for one: this method of targeted copy / paste is not efficient at all, and two: sharing two totally different functions for the target buttons is not a good idea. A very simple fix is to provide the option of copy / paste to same tracks.
This is an opportunity to do it better than FCP because FCP would copy and paste to the same tracks but it had very bad control over which edits the program stopped on using the next / prev edit keys. It's much more efficient to only stop on the video edits and usually one or two tracks when doing a color pass. In FCP you had to disable the audio tracks to get it to ignore them so that you're not pushing the up and down buttons 5 times more than necessary but then you couldn't hear the audio. When you're doing color you want to hit the button once and be on the next shot. With my suggestion you get to focus on exactly what you want and copy / paste isn't a button-fest. This is like golf. Fewer strokes wins!

How do I disable copy/paste for most (but not all) of a .pdf?

Hello, I'm trying to create a .pdf document that is a "how-to" guide. I'd like to disable copy/pasting from 95% of this document, with the exception of a few sections that i'd like my users to be able to copy and paste and use as email templates. I've gone ahead and set pasword security settings and un-checked the box for "enable copying of text, images, and other content". Is there any way that I can enable copy/paste for just a few small sections of my document? or is it an "all or none" function?
Thanks in advance for your help. -Geoff

Graffiti, Can you please expand on that? I'm using Microsoft Word as my original document. I'll have mostly paragraphs of non-copyable text, with a few sections that contain sample email templates that will be copyable. Example below. Thanks, Geoff
Here is my description of an amazing new process written in Word. To use this process, copy the email template below and customize with your own name.

Disable Copy/Paste / Ctrl-Y and CTRL-V

Hi,
is there any way to disable the Copy/Paste function in the SAPGUI? Especially disabling the key commands CTRL-Y and CTRL-C.
The customer would like to disable any kind of copy function
Thanks in advance
hs

I have seen this before for ALV grids, but am not sure whether it was a missing feature or infact an intended and possibly optional one.
I suspect the former case to be true, so you will need to use SAPGui engineering to disable it and ensure that the users cannot connect from a machine they have control over to the server or an older SAPGui version. These sort of preferences have typically also been HKEY_CURRENT_USER settings so you might have trouble retro-fitting it as well.
Which SAPGui version are you using? There is a new "SAPGui Security Center" available in 7.20 which might offer this control (amongst several others).

Copy/Paste Disabled

Hi Team,
I 'am working on a Data Entry Software and this software does not allow me to copy/paste anything in the data filling blocks.
The major problem here is that when I launch this application it purposely disables the Copy/Paste function of my Windows and the Paste Option in the context menu is greyed out, it completely disables the Copy/Paste function and its really annoying
because once this software is launched I cannot even copy/paste anything in a notepad as well.
When I would close this application Copy/Paste function would start to work like normal.
My question here is, what would be that service which needs to be running in the background for the Copy/Paste function to work..
Please Help !!
I' am using Windows 8.1

Hello,
I'd ask the data entry software provider.
However, you could ask in the
Windows 8.1 forum on Microsoft Community.
As the Microsoft Community is on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.
Once there, click on Participate near the top of the screen, and select 'Ask a Question' or 'Start a Discussion':

Copy/Paste disabled within filenames

(Before coming to any conclusions, the computer I'm referencing to is not my own and is not related at all to my information at the bottom of the post)
Basically, Copy/Paste functions are disabled when editing file names (Such as folders and files). Is there anything that could be causing this? The operating system is v10.5.8.

If you aren't actually editing the file name, copying it is sometimes tricky.
You'll know when you are editing it, when the box around the name becomes a black outline around some colored highlighted text. Usually you have to click inside the file name. Of course locked files won't let you rename, and files written to CD and DVD won't either.

Disable copy paste iphone

Is there a way within ios 6 or jailbreak to disable "hold to copy/paste?" Ever since upgrading to ios 6, which I hate, it seems that hold to copy is more sensitive. Maybe not, but it seems that way to me. Now when I try to push a button on my phone, whether a game or in the browser, instead of pushing the button, it tries to select the text of the button for copying. It is very annoying.
Somebody please help with a suggestion. I know apple won't ever suggest it, but my phone is off warranty and I'm willing to jailbreak to stop this from happening. I'd rather have a non-jb fix though.
Thanks.

My keyboard loses functionality when I try to leave comments on Facebook. Delete, backspace, apostrophe and cut, copy and paste are disabled.

My keyboard loses functionality when I try to leave comments on Facebook.
Delete, backspace, apostrophe and cut, copy and paste are disabled. This only happens in comments, no functionality is lost in messaging or status updates.
I have disabled all my add-ons and restarted Firefox and the issue persists. I have updated add-ons, restarted Firefox and the issue persists.
I have updated Firefox and that made no difference.
I have cleared cookies and cache and still no luck.
SOLUTION: I disabled the Grammarly Lite add-on and this seems to have resolved the issue.
I have informed Facebook of the issue. I cannot find any information about this problem in Facebook's troubleshooting.
I cannot replicate this issue in Internet Explorer. All the functions work fine.
I have the same issue on a different device that runs Windows 7 Starter and on a laptop that runs Windows 8.1.

How to disable copy/paste on TextInput

Hi,
I'd like to disable copy/paste on textinput. It's possible ?
I tried with preventDefault() on KeyBoardEvent but it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Christian
await MiniBrowser.InvokeScriptAsync("eval", new string[] { "function (e) {e.returnValue = false;} if (document.body.addEventListener){ document.body.addEventListener('onselectstart',yourHandler,false);} else {document.body.attachEvent('onselectedstart',yourHandler);//for IE} function yourHandler(e){e = e || window.event; var target = e.target || e.srcElement; YOUR LOGIC HERE}"});
It's throw the same error.

Enabling/Disabling Cut/Copy/Paste buttons

Here's today's "Tear My Hair Out" problem.
I'm working on a data manipulation application, where we will be providing the standard cut/copy/paste functionality. We want to disable the menu items and toolbar buttons if there's nothing selected. I know this is possible, since both JDeveloper and NetBeans do it, but I'm at a loss for a clean way to do it.
The only thing I can come up with is to add key, mouse, and focus listeners to each text component and check the selection whenever an appropriate event happens which could affect it. Obviously a lot of overhead.
Anyone know a simpler way to do this?
Thanks.

Check out the Clipboard class, and the getSystemClipboard() method in Toolkit (I think).
If you were to store your data on the system clipboard, like most applications, then you can have a single thread which monitors the state of the clipboard and updates the state of the paste button as and when is appropriate.
Alternatively, use your own clipboard. Just so long as there is ONE resource which stores all the cut/copy data, and changes the state of the paste button accordingly.
For the cut/copy actions, you will probably have only one method which carries this out, so have this method update the state of the cut/copy buttons.
This really is very simple. If it's getting too complicated, you're doing it wrong. Hope this helps.

Registration Applications - Emai and Repeat Email - Disable Copy&Paste

Hi,
The standard behavior of Emai and Repeat Email field of Registration Applications allows Copy&Paste.
I would expect to have standard behavior to not allow Copy&Paste otherwise 'Repeat' don't make sense. May i know the reason behind standard behavior Copy&Paste options for the Email fields?
Can I disable Copy&Paste of the Email field by enhancement, if yes, how?

Disabling copy paste screenshot function from webdypro output

Hi,
I am working on a webdynpro application. I have used formatted text view element the outout view. The requirement is when this text is displayed in output it should not be copied pasted nor screenshot can be taken for security reason.
This means when I execute the program and the text gets diesplayed in Internet Explorer copy paste function should be disable.
Printscreen option should also be disabled.
Waiting for your response.
Regards,
Abhishek

I don't believe that anyone ever said that you could disable cut and paste. This too is a function of the browser interacting with the OS. There is nothing that you can do from Web Dynpro to effect that.
I did a google search to how to avoid cut and paste in the browser. Even with full control over javascript and the HTML rendering (which you don't have in Web Dynpro) this is very difficult to do. Some suggestion are to use a CSS with a transparent image overlay or to render an image with the text. Even some of these approaches can be worked around by someone persistent enough - by viewing source for instance.
Also avoiding the screenshot is pretty much impossible and certainly isn't the responsibility of the application.
