Cross app copy and paste stoped working with 5.1 any suggestions?

After over the air upgrade to 5.1 on Verizon cross app copy and paste stopped working. Copy in one app no past option in the other. I have tried power cycling to no avail. Any suggestions prior to restoring the phone with iTunes?

Having the same problem. AT&T iPad. No help from anyone yet. :-/

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.

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.

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.

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'' ?

I have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

Greetings,
What happens when you drag it?
Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
Click on the movie file and go to File > Get Info and note the "size"
Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
Also note the format of the drive you are copying too. If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
Welcome posting in TechNet forum.
Do you mean the drag and drop action of files within different application?
We may take a try to disable the UAC settings and see if the drag and drop would work. And please note if we have UAC disabled, Windows Store APPs would be expected not going to work.
For the coding edit stuff, I suggest we keep focus on the MSDN thread.

Drag and drop dont pause in a published video

Hi, i have a Project with 3 slides (not responsive) the second one is with drag and drop, it works fine when i preview in browser but when i publish it as a video it dont pause in drag and drop. When i publish it as html5 it works fine but not as video.

Hi there
Please define "publish as video". Do you mean a video you might upload to YouTube? If so, that will never ever work. Video is just video and no interactivity is possible except what YouTube itself offers as a layer above the video.
Cheers... Rick

Why does drag and drop not work?

Why does drag and drop not work?

Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

Drag and drop not working. When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program. Happens in finder numbers and firefox

Drag and drop not working. When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program. Happens in finder numbers, firefox, and when trying to move any file from the downloads folder.
This is a serious pain.
Please help.

Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".
You can file feedback here.

Oracle forms viewlets about SSO and Forms dont work

hi:
the oracle forms viewlets (in Forms Sample Code) about SSO and Forms dont work. it says html as been modified. i think it's a viewlet builder protection.
thanks

Hi to everyone,
This is a rant on the stupidity of Oracle Forms. From my point of view, it is pointless and VERY PAINFUL to develop.
Come on, who in the right would use Oracle FORMS to develop database applications? Heck, I can develop my very own web application in Servlet and JSP twice as quick as this piece of crappy framework can produce. Who are you trying to kid? Tie down PL/SQL to the application level? The very idea of FORMS is bullshit.
To whoever who is reading this, please flame me all you want. Oracle Forms is a crappy product. Dont't waste your time and efforts using it. You are better off using some other MORE PRODUCTIVE framework. So there.Hello,
I have seen many threads speaking about forms future but discussions were also MORE PRODUCTIVE as your framework
pointless ? I think your thread is pointless...
I will not make the pro-forms against the world... There are so many tools, just make the right choice for your needs.
so go back to your fantastic productive framework and have success with it.

Drag and Drop not working since last software update

Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving an icon on the doc and the same thing occured. YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
