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?

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)?

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.

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 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.

Hi, I can't get my old wacom intuos2 to work with mountain lion, any suggestions? Apart from buy a new tablet.

I was out of town for a few days. I had no issue installing the driver on Mountain Lion (10.8.2). What specifically happens when you try to install?
If you get this message:
then you need to right-click on the installer package and select 'Open' when you get this message:
If this isn't your issue you need to be more specific about what is happening.

Hi,
I have the same problem. I've been trying everything; opening ports, adjusting quicktime streaming preferences...everything discussed in other posts in this forum regarding error -8.
I really hate iChat...I think it's unbeliveble that Apple claims to be so better that Windows, but I never had problems wits MSN video.
But let's try to solve this irritating issue. What kind of messenging software do you have instaled/open when you try to use iChat?
I have Skype installed. When I deinstalled it, everything was working fine (so I thought). Next day the same BS all over again.
I could use skype to videochat, but I have an .mac account and I want to use iChat...the f&^%$*g .mac account is to expensive not to use...And do not forget that iChat AV quality is way better than Skype.
I really hope Apple comes with a solution soon.
Greets from an unhappy iChat user.

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!

Copy and paste not working in Mail app on my iPod Touch 32GB

I have an iPod Touch and cannot copy or paste anything in the Mail application. I have no problem copying or pasting in other applications. Unfortunately, being able to copy and paste into/from Mail is probably one of the most important things that I need to do on my Touch.
I don't know if this means anything, but I do notice that the tiny progress indicator, just to the right of the WiFi indicator on the top left of the screen, never stops spinning when I'm in Mail.
I have a 32GB 3rd-generation Touch which is not jail broken, if that even makes sense for a non-iPhone (I've seen this problem mentioned regarding jail broken iPhones).
By the way, I can SELECT text (or position the cursor) with the magnifying glass, no probem. It just never pops up the copy/paste bubble thingy.
Thank you for any advice. This is a real bummer in what otherwise has been a downright ethereal experience with my new Touch.
(I don't know what ethereal means either, but you get my drift.)

Genius I'm certainly not but I'm glad it worked.
FYI, a Reset is a common troubleshooting step for may iPod/iPhone software issues. I generally Reset my iPhone once/week or so, whether I think it needs it or not.
Welcome to the forums.

Copy and Paste not working across apps - 3.0 software

I can't seeem to make the copy and paste work across applications. works fine in e-mail from notes but won't paste in text. anyone else having this kind of issue?

The app you are trying to use probably hasn't been updated for iPhone 3.0. Check that all of your app are upto date and if you still have an app that doesn't allow copy and paste check the version number in the app store to see if it has been iPhone 3.0 tested. I have copy and paste fail to work in one app (sorry can't remember which) and after an update to the new version it worked fine.

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
