Pages iPad Cut and Paste not working right in latest update

First -- everything on my iPad is up to date with iOS and Pages update...and everything has been rebooted and works just fine...
BUT -- new problem...anytime I select a paragraph and cut and paste, it places it in a text box, resizes it, and inserts this text box into the document where I paste. That then remains as it's own section and not a part of the larger document.
Did something go wrong? Did I miss some setting to turn off? I don't want anything I copy and paste to be put in its own text box, merely to paste it into the same document in a different place.
What went wrong here?....

If you want to paste text in with other text, you need the cursor/caret to be in text when you paste (keyboard should be up on screen). Sounds like you do not have the keyboard up, so it's creating a new text box for you.

  • Cut and paste not working in iphoto

    I can't cut and paste between events in iPhoto any longer.  i tried flagging a photo but the add flag item to event was grayed out. how can you move photos between events.  i tried dragging but page didn't scroll very well so was a little inefficient

    I see, in the "Photos" album I cannot cut and paste either. I can cut the photo from the event, but not paste it into a different event, because It is impossible to select the event for pasting in the Photos album.
    @ Terence Devlin, is pasting into an event supposed to work inside the Photos album?
    I can paste into an event in the Events view. And dragging and dropping between events is working well in the Photos view.
    i tried flagging a photo but the add flag item to event was grayed out.
    This cannot work in Photos view, because "Add flagged items to the selected event" requires an event to be selected, an in the Photos album is no selected event. You can create a new event from the flagged photos and drag this event on top of the event where you want them to go.
    So, I am afraid you will have to switch between the Photos album and the Events view to move your photos around.

  • Cut and paste not working

    Cut and Paste functionality has stopped working, even after a Restart, in both Numbers and Pages.  OS is Mavericks 10.9.2.

    I can paste a .jpg object into a Pages document, but can't cut and paste text blocks.   When I select and execute "Cut" (either via keyboard or menu), the "Paste" function does nothing (although it might be inserting a single space character).   This failure to "Paste" also exists in the TextEdit app.
    In Numbers the problem exists both for text blocks and for cells.
    This has happened in the past, but seemed to be corrected with a Restart of the OS.   Not this time.

  • Cut and Paste not working for specific client?

    Gui Gurus,
    I have recently upgraded some users to Gui 710 Patch 8.  However on one users install, she cannot copy and paste the entire content of a cell.  For example:
    If she copies aaaabbbbbccccdddd, she'll only get aaaabbbbbcccc.  For some reason it gets truncated.
    I have tried this on my identical install and can do the exact same cut and paste for the same input field fine.  I did a reinstall of her Gui, but that did not help.  I checked her user parameters and could not find anything to alter this behavior.  I tried "Quick Cut and Paste" also, and that yielded the same incorrect results.  I did not see anything else in the Options / I18N that would alter this?
    Any ideas where to look?
    Thanks,
    Jeff Martens
    Basis Admin.

    Martin,
    Thanks for the reply.  I did try the cut & paste option in the expert tab and that did not work.
    I am copying from a normal user input field to another input field.  This is not static text that you would have to CTRL+Y to copy.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Cut and Paste not working on Mountain Lion

    I downloaded Mountain Lion on the first day of its release, upgrading from Lion. Ever since then My cut and paste functions havent been working. It would function after the first 10 to 15 minutes, but soon after that time passes, I am unable to copy/cut paste anything either via the mouse or typing commands. This is very frustrating. I would have to shtdown and turn the computer back on just to get the function back temporarily. Does anyone have a solution for this?!
    Also, I just updated my Mountain Lion to 10.8.1 as of yesterday, and its still happening!!
    Lastly, I verified permissions and reinstalled the OS, still happening...

    1. Open Disk Utility and repair the permissions
    2. Go to Finder, press Option key, select Go > Library, open Preferences and delete com.apple.dock.plist

  • Cut and paste not working in (total)finder

    Hi all
    I have noticed an issue with my cut and paste option on my macbook pro since I upgraded to Mountain Lion OS. I used to be able to cut items from a folder and paste into another folder quite efficiently. It's fine when I copy and paste, however this means I need to go back and delete the items I have pasted.
    Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi CT and meera404,
    I am having the same problem of not being able to perform "command-x" and "command-v" (cut & paste) in Finder on Mac OS X 10.8.2.
    When I go into the Finder menu options and click on the "Edit" tab menu, it appears that the "Cut" button is not available and appears as disabled.
    Any suggestions on how I can enable this?
    Thanks in advance for the feedback!

  • Cut and paste not working on linux?

    Hi,
    I am a beginning user of Jdeveloper. I noticed that I can cut and paste to and from my windows applications to my Jdev on linux, but is unable to cut and paste from emacs or xterm to and from Jdev on the same linux box. Is there a simple configuration somewhere that I forgot to set?
    Now, I must use my windows notepad as a middleman to do cut and paste...really inconvenient.
    Thanks,

  • Office 2010 - Copy, Cut, and Paste not working

    Firstly, I am on a corporate domain and most of our users are using Windows 7 with the Office 2010 suite, both of which contain the most current updates. My problem is that some users are unable to copy and paste from one application to another.
    For instance, User A is unable to copy or cut cells from Excel by either right-clicking and selecting the option, or by keyboard shortcuts and then pasting into another area of the same document or any other document like notepad. User
    B, cannot complete the same operation in Outlook from email to email or from email to lets say, Word.
    However, and it's a big HOWEVER, none of this happens while the browser is closed. I have seen this with all three of the major browsers, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. So all functionality comes back with the copy and paste once the browser
    is closed, and if you reopen the browser the problem reappears as if the browser takes over the clipboard.
    If anyone has a solution or suggestion your feedback would be much appreciated.
    Regards,

  • 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'' ?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Three years later and still not working right

    Moved to my new address about 4 1/2 years ago, and for 18 months never any problems, 100% working, 1MB reliable. Then something changed !!! Got a new Homehub (with blue lights on), and since then DISASTER. The line drops (log states "unreachable") and some days if the winds in the right direction I can get 2MBs, otherwise its down to 64kbs (I kid you not). As I work from home (computer/server support) I pay the higher rate for my BB (unlimited) and the service offered is **bleep**. Over the last 3 years I have had 4 engineer visits, who have changed the faceplate each time for the latest version, and have confirmed its NOT MY FAULT, its the exchange or its the ext wiring to the excahnge. Once they even traced it back a few miles and told me they dug the road up to change a connector (funny I drive down that road all the time and never saw them digging up the road the day they claim to have). My latest saga ? I'm lucky if I get 90 secs without being kicked off (I had to cut and paste this). The hub logs state some of the following

    And it goes on and on like this, as a result it kicks off any wireless connected devices (printer etc), which will no longer connector till they are rebooted. If the homehub is powered down, and back up then the internet works fine for a few minutes, then crash down it goes again. Got engineer number 5 coming thursday, but I think the same will happen again, new faceplate, and told its the exchange or the wires to the exchange! Anyone got any clues or suggestions I can use to get this resolved ? By the way neighbor is with Pipex and never has any problems, yet they did when with BT ? strange I thought they used the BT lines ?
