No longer able to copy and paste from safari.

When trying to copy and paste from safari to Pages or Mail it continues to paste the original coppiced information.  In my online school environment (java) I am not able to copy and paste from safari to other programs.  I was able to do this without problem before upgradeing to ios5.

jmgoldjr,
Same issue here and I have spoke with Apple support and actually had them log on to my University website and demo'ed the issue for themselves.  This was only yesterday and the response was it would take 5-6 days for upper level support to get back to me for further analysis.
What exactly is happening is when I copy text from my school website, the text is never copied to the clipboard so subsequently when I past it somewhere else it just pastes whatever exists in the clipboard from the previous use. 
Did you ever resolve your issue or find a work-around?  If not I will gladly update this post when I hear more.  My wife's iPad on 4.3.3 is functions perfectly in the same regard.  Apple agree's it is a software issue but like simply require more time to diagnose.
Your University wouldn't happen to be Phoenix would it?
Thanks.

  • Since the update I am no longer able to copy and paste from websites or from emails.  anyone else having these issues?

    Help i can't simply copy a simple sentence from a website and paste it into an email.  I use to be able to do this.

    kimluellen,
    That is very odd that it does not give you the option to copy the text when you tap or long hold on the word. Does this happen in all websites or just some? When you are in a text message or email does it still let you tap or the work and copy the text?

  • Why am I no longer able to copy and paste text from a website?

    I am trying to copy and past text from a website and it will not even let me select it.  I am very familiar with how to do this, and it worked yesterday on the same page in safari.  Please advise if anyone knows how to fix this.
    Thanks,

    Hi, Jrpaige7. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    You can still copy and paste material from various applications in iOS 7.  Here are the steps on how to process these steps.

    If you are experiencing issues with this functionality, I would recommend closing multitasking and power cycling the device.

  • Copy and Paste from Safari to MS Word Text Form Field adds a trailing space

    I know this is just a minor issue, but an inconvenience for me nonetheless.
    When I go to the same page and copy and paste the same text from Firefox, the trailing space is not added.
    What I find puzzling is that when I paste the same copied text into notepad from Safari, it does not add the trailing space.
    So it is likely an issue with MS Word's method of pasting text, but strange to me that it does not happen from Firefox.
    Is there a way to inspect the exact contents of the clipboard to see if there are any differences?
    I just did a little bit more testing, and found that Word only adds an trailing space when I paste into a "Text Form Field" from only Safari.
    Maybe the solution is to stop using MS Word. (Ha, Ha)

    OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
    When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
    So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
    I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
    The other, current, method I have been using is to:
    1. select and copy the text in Safari
    2. paste text into notepad
    3. select and copy text from notepad
    4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
    Or in Firefox:
    1. select and copy the text in Firefox
    2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

  • Upgraded to Mavericks not my excel clipboard cannot be emptied and I cannot copy and paste from safari either.

    I upgraded to Mavericks. Now when working in excel I cannot copy a cell to paste. When I try to copy an alert pops up saying 'Cannot empty clipboard'. I hit "OK' then I go to another screen, such as Safari, then excel on dock will bump then I have to keep going back to it to select "OK" again.
    Also, I cannot copy on Safari, to paste an address on google earth, or paste anywhere else for that matter.
    Anyone experiencing same issues?
    I already checked my clipboard in finder and it is empty. Also, I tried right clicking to copy and still did not work that way.
    Thanks. This is very frustrating because I need to use shortcuts and I work fast. I have business to tend to and need everything working. Excel keeps shutting down and restrting as well, very frustrating because I have to constantly save work and hope that it reopens with last edit.
    ANY HELP is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

  • No longer able to copy and paste bullet format from slide to notes

    In the prior version of Keynote, I could copy a bulleted outline from my slide to my notes, and it would appear in the same format.  I can no longer get an automatic bulleted format for my notes.  Any way to manage this?

  • Why can't i copy and paste from safari into email?

    I am able to select text, copy it, but nothing happens after pasting it to the an email or notes.

    Do you wait until the Copy button turns blue and then does the Paste button turns blue when you paste the text?

  • How do I copy and paste from websites on thge latest Firefor?

    I used to be able to copy and paste from the internet with the last Firefox application. All I want to know js where do O go on the latest application in order to copy and paste information on websites.

    After highlighting something on a web page by left-click and dragging the mouse, you can go to Firefox button (or File) > Edit. Hover your mouse pointer over the 3 images to the right of Edit for a tooltip (scissors = cut, two pages = copy, clipboard = paste) or click the arrow to the far right of Edit for a drop-down, non-icon list of the functions available.
    In Windows you can also right-click (without moving the mouse pointer around) the highlighted text, then choose Copy. On the document, email, etc., that you are copying to, you can use right-click, then choose Paste.

  • How to disable copy and paste from Mail to other applications

    Are there MDM or policy that can limit copy and paste?  Using MDM or ACU to lockdown the phone would be completely useless in regards to preventing data leakage unless copy/paste can be controlled.  MDM provider is advising that there is no API from Apple to allow locking this function.

    No. Not that I'm aware of. If you're that worried about people being able to copy and paste from email messages and having confidential data get 'into the wild' that way, then maybe you shouldn't be issuing or permitting the use of smart phones.

  • Copy and Paste from PDF Looses Formatting in SL

    Hi Everyone,
    I've discovered a strange problem in snow leopard. Prior to upgrading to snow leopard, I was able to copy and paste from a PDF in Preview into Word, save as a text file, and preserve the formatting of the original PDF. This was important because I had written a perl program that extracted relevant information from the text file (the one based on the PDF) to generate reports. The PDF was not scanned but generated from some sort of batch program, and the output has columns and rows. I tried to copy and paste today, after upgrading to Snow Leopard yesterday, and no matter what I tried (including paste special) the formatting when copying from the PDF to Word was lost. I tried Adobe reader as well as Skim and tried copying into TextEdit but nothing worked. I even tried exporting from Adobe reader as a text file but have the same problem.
    Being a good upgrader, I kept a backup of my Leopard install. After booting from it, copy and paste work as before and I was able to generate a properly formatted text file. From my experience with this, it appears as though the way snow leopard renders a PDF, or works with copying and pasting, is different than previous operating systems. Does anyone happen to know if there is a way to make snow leopard's copying and pasting work as it did in Leopard before?
    If it helps, the machine I was using was my wife's white MacBook, 2 GHz with 2 MB of RAM.
    Thanks in advance.

    I likewise rely on ChemDraw and Pages/Keynote for my research and teaching. This is unfortunately an enormous problem, as I use these programs on a daily basis. I will be re-installing Leopard until the problem is resolved. Chambridgesoft's reply to the issue is that "The current version of ChemDraw/ChemBioDraw (12.0.0) was developed and released prior to the release of Snow Leopard. Therefore, ChemDraw 12.0.0 has not been officially tested and qualified under this operating system. We hope to support Snow Leopard in future in a future point release." I guess they couldn't get a hold of a development build? As I'm using ChemDraw Ultra 11.0 I will obviously not be supported in any case.
    Judging from other replies, the problem seems to stem from SN copying as a .tiff rather than a .pict? Perhaps someone has a fix to make SN copy as .pict?

  • Is there a reason why I can't copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop

    Before the last update, I was able to copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, and now I can't. Which really suck. Is there a new way I would have to do it?

    I'm not privy to what impact the latest update my have had, but I believe Photoshop still has "its own" clipboard, and there may still be a tendency under certain conditions for it to become inaccessible from/to the rest of the system. Reboot everything and try again.

  • I use Acrobat to convert firefox pages to pdf and with firefox4 I need to be able to copy and pasted text from the pdf and no longer can.

    With the prior version of Firefox I could convert web pages (financial data) to pdf for maintaining historical files. And then with the pdf, I was able to copy and paste the numbers into Excel. With Firefox4, I can convert to pdf with Acrobat but I cannot access the numbers for copying and pasting as text, only as a picture. While I prefer Firefox, I check to see if this problem recently started with the "other" company's web browser and did not have this problem. So, it is not Acrobat.

    HI djlarp,
    Try triple-clicking in the text that you want to select--it can sometimes be tricky to select text in a converted document. If that doesn't work, it could be that the PDF document was created from a scanned document, and OCR wasn't enabled when you converted the document. (However, OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website.)
    If you're unable to select text by triple-clicking, let us know. I would be happy to take a closer look at your files.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Why I am not able to copy and paste photos from my desktop to my Itouch?

    I am not able to copy and paste photos from my computer to my Itouch. I use to be able to do it. Now there is an error message that says my device is wither disconnected or stopped responding.
    But when I plugged in the Itouch, it still shows on my computer, still able to see my existing pictures in it. Just not able to paste/drag any new pictures into the folder.
    Anyone has this problem and able to solve it?
    Thank you.

    Hi BobRz
