Currently, I cannot copy and paste using the icons in the toolbar. How do I enable this?

I am trying to make edits to a website for our company. Currently, I cannot copy and paste using the icons in the toolbar. Instead, I have to use control+c and control+v which doesn't always work. How do I enable the feature to be able to use the icons?

Are those toolbar buttons grayed?
Do the entries in the Edit menu look enabled if there is text selected or text on the clipboard?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

CANNOT COPY AND PASTE

Hi,
I use a lenovo thinkpad E530. It came with windows 7 professional. Recently i experienced a BSOD and had to format it to solve the problem. I installed all the drivers from lenovo and pc working ok however i cannot copy and paste any item within my pc and to a secondary storage device. I can only copy and paste using winzip then extract the zip files to where i want. Kindly assist me with this problem. I have tried running diagnostic tests using microsoft tools but they cannot find any problem with my PC. Registry scans aswell cannot solve my problem. I have as well installed and reinstal windows 7 a couple of times but the problem still persists!

How is the secondary device connected to the computer? Is it an external drive connected to the computer, another computer, thru the network, or is it connected to your router?

Cannot copy and paste anything

Hello,
I need help. I have two very large tech articles to post on my site and I cannot copy and paste anything. Cannot copy in paste items within the page or from word or notepad. It is as if the clipboard does not function at all. I am using Firefox 3.0 with the latest build version. Please help me out.

Hello,
Do you have the same problem with IE or Safari? Please try using a different browser to see if you can copy and paste your content. The current version of Firefox is 3.6. Do you have the same problem if you update Firefox?
What operating system are you running?
Best regards,
Corey

Mountain Lion - cannot copy and paste in finder

Hey,
     I've only just noticed this today and I've done a search but can't find anything so far to help me. I upgraded from lion to mountain lion the day after it was released, not fresh install, upgrade. Basically... I cannot copy files using either cmd+c / cmd+v or using the finder edit->copy / edit-> paste menu. They aren't greyed out. Everytime I try I get the error "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.".
This will happen even with a newly created folder. I can delete files. I can create files. I can drag files in finder without issue but I cannot copy and paste. I'm guessing there are permission issues going on but I don't know where to start.
Repairing permissions didn't help (I kinda didn't think it would given it only works on system files but thought it worth a go).
This is an example of the file permissions assigned to a screen grab on my desktop:
-rw-r--r--@ 1 jackwestbrook staff
64257 1 May 19:48 Screen Shot 2012-05-01 at 19.48.27.png
Even if I blow it wide open with chmod 777 I still can't copy it...
-rwxrwxrwx@ 1 jackwestbrook staff
64257 1 May 19:48 Screen Shot 2012-05-01 at 19.48.27.png
These are the permissions assigned to my desktop:
drwxr--r--+ 19 jackwestbrook staff
646 19 Aug 18:24 Desktop
Can anyone offer me some advice on where to start with sorting out this issue?
Cheers,
Jack

Hey, I was really loathed to try reinstalling the OS and something told me that I'd I can drag and drop but not copy and paste there had to be something interfering with the clipboard.
I disabled Alfred and its clipboard history feature (http://www.alfredapp.com/) and rebooted. Amazingly this fixed my issue. I'm going to email the author in the morning to give them a heads up about this.
Thanks to both of you for taking the time to offer me advice.
John Guo - nice tip, wasn't aware of that!

Cannot copy and paste a slideshow- and what is an Album?

I have created a slideshow in a folder called MISC. I think it is a "slideshow" because the icon looks like a 35mm slide.
I want to copy this slide show and move it to a folder called 2007.
No matter what I do, I cannot copy and paste it. Once a slide show is created in a folder, are you now longer able to move it?
also, what is an album and when would i start one. What is the purpose of an Album?

I want to copy this slide show and move it to a folder called 2007.
Is this in the iPhoto Window? Drag and drop.
An album is an collection of photos. You might gather them together because you want to have all your photos of your dog in one place, quite independent of when they were taken. OF you can make a Smart Album based on any of the criteria you can discover by using the File -> New Smart Album command.
The core difference between an album and an Event is that a photo can be in 100 albums and not take up any extra disk space whereas it cannot be in more than one Event without duplicating files.

Cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail

I cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail. Neither from using the keyboard shortcuts, or using the Menu function. I can copy and paste from other applications into Mail- but for some reason, text copied from a Word document (both in .txt and .doc formats) will not paste into an open email. Anyone else have this issue? It's a new issue. I used to be able to do this easily.

I had similar issues starting about the same time or within the past week. However, I can copy and paste, it just takes considerably longer than it used to before. Copying something from a web page into Word could take up to 30 seconds now on my computer but it shows a busy mouse pointer while it is loading, then clicks/pops when it loads into the Word document, but then actually takes about another 5 to 10 seconds to appear in the Word document. I have no idea why it is delaying now when it did not do it before, but since it is still going into the document I am living with it for now. Are you waiting long enough to see if it appears?

Cannot copy and paste in an Excel 2010 file

Cannot copy and paste in an Excel 2010 file
The user has modify rights, and on other files it works fine. She can save and do everything with the file except copy and then past to another tab in the same file or a new one. Or anywhere.
We tried the file with a different user from the same department and there it does work.
I tried to disable the X-com plugins and disable OVF for performance also. Nothing works...anybody knows maybe what the issue might be ?
The file is on a network drive on a domain and does work on another user to copy and paste. I have not let her log in with the same user account n test it on a different system so I asked and will get a update soon. There are no error messages the
paste option is greyed out.

Hi,
How about the issue now, is it solved?
This issue might be caused by her user profile. What the result would be if using another user account to log on her computer to test this issue.
Also do you have the same problem when you open excel in Safe Mode?
Try opening Excel without any Add-ins or hidden workbooks:
Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the excel program.

I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook.

I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook. I opened Safari and tapped/held the text I wanted to copy, but nothing happened. I have tried everything, and I am getting frustrated.

Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

I want to translate some items but i cannot copy and paste into safari

i want to translate some items, but i cannot copy and paste from my clipboard into translator page using safari .
no, control-c just clunks a no-can-do warning

Thank you Carolyn, but I need to compare and contrast with Google, Microsoft and Babylon to sort out what is being said ... along with my own limited understanding of the language and topic ...
I have found that if I copy text it is in my clipboard with firefox, but I must paste from the firefox edit menu - not command v -
Unfortunately, I can find no workaround for Safari.
Thanks again Carolyn.

Error message when I try to copy and paste using mouse

I am taking college classes online. When I try to copy and paste something using the right mouse button I keep getting error messages that something is blocked on my browser, and cannot copy and paste. When I use ctrl A ctrl C ctrl V everything works fine, but I don't always want to copy everything. How can I fix this because its starting to be a hassle.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.
