OK, that makes me think you didn't really do a full job. There are TWO folders involved with ID prefs, and you usually need to remove a file from each (generally not the entire folders), so please read the link and try again.
As I recall, and it's been years sins I needed to reinstall an OS on Mac, the installer will ask if you want wipe the hard drive or archive and install, but one of the Mac regulars can say better than I. That's pretty drastic, however, unless you you previously did an in-place OS upgrade. If you did, it may be worth doing that, and it won't take much longer than uninstalling and reinstalling individual apps (you'll have to reinstall the apps either way). You can run the uninstallers for Adobe apps, then run the clean tool, not the other way around, if you are convinced they need to be uninstalled (and if you did an in-place upgrade onthe OS and tried to migrate the apps, they probably do).

Cannot copy paste from Outlook 2011 to anything

I'm on 10.9.5 and cannot copy/paste text from emails in Outlook:Mac 2011 to other apps like textedit or textwrangler or MS Word. I've tried killing pboard in the Activity Monitor and from command line, and tried stopping and starting com.apple.pboard with launchctl. Restart has fixed this in the past, but that is not a good solution.
Looking at other threads here and other places, it seems like a pervasive issue that goes beyond Outlook. Any other known fixes? Thanks-

Suddenly I cannot copy paste between applications.

Has anyone dealt with this issue? I used to be able to copy and paste between all my applications.
Now I can copy from one web browser to another, and from one Word document to another, but I cannot copy/paste from the web to Word or vice versa.
I'd appreciate some help!

What Mac do you have, with what version of OS X?

Cannot copy/paste from email

I cannot copy/paste info contained in email. Elsewhere my browser works fine

Thanks guigs2 and cor-el. I used keyboard shortcuts.
It's not related to a specific site. The issue is general.
I've not used Firefox in safe mode, and unfortunately, don't know what it is.
What's puzzling is that this only started recently, never was an issue before, and is not fixed with the update. Perhaps it's related to the webmail programme I used that's provided by my website host. The programme is Horde.
(BTW, the copy, paste problem does not seem to occur in Chrome.)
I recently installed an add-on to Firefox for copying. It mostly works.

How to copy & paste an image into a new Pages document?

With the latest version of Pages, you cannot copy & paste an image from iPhoto or the web any more.
Is there an easy alternative?
Using the toolbar alternative "Media" takes ages.
Why did Apple remove this great feature of Pages????

Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Cannot copy, paste, drag or drop

This suddenlly happened last night. I hadn't downloaded any new files immediately before this and wasn't downloading any software at the time. Basically I can open any folder or file but cannot copy or paste anything or drag items on my desktop or elsewhere. Does anyone have any ideas what to do? I'm currently using 10.5.8
The only solutions I have found ultimately tell you to do a Archive and Install procedure but it appears that in doing so you lose all your applications. Is this correct?
Help!

*A few suggestions:*
Restarting your computer may cure your copy/paste & your other problems. You did not mention that you have already done so after repairing permissions.
=========
Boot up from your Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

Can't copy/paste or move objects.

Entire Edit Menu, other than "Clear" is grayed out – can't copy/paste anything. Also can't move objects with direct selection tool. Reset preferences and still have same problem. Ideas?
Mac 10.6.8, CS5.5
Thanks!

I just had this problem as well. I'm using InDesign CS6, MacOS 10.6.8 where my cut & Paste grayed out and after I made any kind of object. Even though I could select it, I couldn't drag it/move it UNLESS I used my arrow keys to do so. I tried deleting my prefs and restarting InDesign multiple times as listed above but after a full shut down and restart of my machine I finally saw operations return to normal.
Just an FYI.

Cannot copy & paste

I'm trying to move or copy & paste a column within Numbers '09. Unfortunately when I try to paste the contents I receive the general system beep warning and console only gives me:
Numbers[2487] NameKeyHashSet and ObjectHashMap out of sync: object map entry for __NSDictionary0 0x3024510 references name "NSMutableDictionary-0" instead of "NSMutableDictionary-5"
Has anyone else encountered this before?

I am getting these messages in the System log as well for any Numbers document that I edit. Having no other problems with Numbers.
I tried to resolve this by reinstalling Snow Leopard 10.6.1 from the free-standing updater, then removing iWork '09 and related preferences and reinstalling from the original CD.
This made no difference.
I get two types of messages in the log:
Oct 16 12:36:15 Thor Numbers[2394]: Object (0x3024530 of class __NSDictionary0) named "NSMutableDictionary-0" was already registered with another name "NSMutableDictionary-59".
Oct 16 12:36:15 Thor Numbers[2394]: NameKeyHashSet and ObjectHashMap out of sync: object map entry for __NSDictionary0 0x3024530 references name "NSMutableDictionary-0" instead of "NSMutableDictionary-57"

Brand new W540 cannot copy/paste

Hello
Can anybody help me with this issue? I have tried running "regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Bluetooth\btmoffice.dll"" but it gives this error:
copy/paste does work but always. 50% success rate.
Bios updated today.
Very frustrated with this.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The issue is due to the Bluetooth add-in for MS Office which causes a small bitmap image to be copied to the Windows Clipboard every time a MS Office application with said add-in comes into focus. When the image is copied to the Windows Clipboard it replaces any previous content.
Said image cannot be pasted inside MS Office but it can be pasted in other image applications such as MS Paint.
To remove said add-in on Lenovo W540 models is necessary to run this registry removal command:
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Bluetooth\btmoffice.dll"
Note that the add-in path can change depending on the model. An easy way to find out where the add-in is installed is to open a MS Office application, click options and then add-ins. Then find the Bluetooth add-in description.

I cannot copy/paste in CS3

Pretty basic functionality we're talking about here.
I also cannot copy back and forth between Ps and Ai.
Am I missing some "cool new feature"?
I already tried trashing the prefs.

There are many copy/paste issues between Adobe apps. It's worse in CS3, but constantly and inexplicably I will no longer be able to copy shapes from Illustrator and paste them into After Effects as masks.
I have to restart one or the other-- often times both-- in order to make it behave again... but of course it only works 2 or 3 times and stops again.
I have wasted so much time with this in the last couple of days I cannot even tell you. And add to that the fact that Illustrator just hangs on quit about 75% of the time for no reason and must be force killed, which just takes even more time out of the day.

Cannot Copy, Paste in OneNote webapp under Firefox

I have attempted to modify the profile to activate the copy, paste functions to be used in OneNote webapp as follows:
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://office.live.com", "http://docs.google.com", "www.mysite.com www.mydomain.com");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");
It still does not work. Don't know if there is any syntax problem or wrong site address. Thanks

Yes, I am having the same problem... mine works most of the time, but fails about every 1 out of 5 attempts, sometimes multiple times in a row. Extremely annoying. There is a bug report for this:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=883554
It started happening to me as soon as I upgraded to FF 22, even on local HTML files where there are no clipboard events.
Glad I did a search before gutting my profile.

Cannot copy paste in numbers 09

I imported a fairly large spreadsheet from excel. then I createda new document by "saving as". And now I am not able to copy paste any data! Any one familiar with this problem? I would appreciate any help.

We are not sooth sayers so with so few infos we can't help you.
Send the original XL document and the Numbers one to my mailbox.
With them, I guess that it will be easy to discover what is wrong.
You are supposed to get my address thru a click on my blue name.
