Paste ( cmd+v ) not working

For some reason I can not paste into any application anymore using cmd + v on my MacBook running Lion 10.7. Copy ( cmd+c ) seems to work though. So far I have tried repairing permission and setting all keyboard shortcuts to default. Didn´t help. Anyone have an idea ?

Ok, silly question, but are you using the same command key both ways?  Have you tried plugging in another keyboard?  I had a mac that I thought wouldn't boot into single-user mode, but it turned out that the command key on the left side of the spacebar was broken.

  • CMD+ shortcuts not working in Dreamweaver CS3

    I'm have a very strange issue with CMD+ keyboard shortcuts
    not working in Dreamweaver CS3 on OSX 10.5. These actions are
    working from the menus (i.e., copy, cut, paste, etc.). CMD+
    shortcuts work in other CS3 apps. I've searched this forum and
    googled up and down and found some references to issues like this
    with Dreamweaver 8, but nothing for CS3.
    Has anyone experienced this problem? I'm completely stumped.

    My concern wasn't with the navbar, but thanks for the headsup.
    The problem is that the link in the upper left hand corner, Suzie's Story, is a rollover image but it does not reveal the other image when the cursor goes over it.

  • CMD+ shortcut not working on Czech keyboard

    Hello,
    I have this problem. CMD+ and some other shortcuts are not working or are working weird on Czech keyboard. For example it works in Preview (sometimes) but not in Safari.
    On Czech keyboard there is + sign on the key with number 1. (normal press = "+" shift and press = "1"). When I activated Keyboard Viewer in could see that when I press CMD the "+" key turns to "1". So then its impossible to press CMD+. The weird thing is that in Preview it sometimes works like CMD+ and sometimes like CMD and 1 (I really don't know why, in both cases i have a pdf file opened).
    Then I tried setting CMD and 1 as a shortcut for Zoom In instead of CMD+. Here is another weird thing. When I pressed CMD+ the shortcut was set to CMD+ with no problem, but when I want to use it it always acts as CMD and 1.
    Can somebody explain me why this all works weird like that or maybe can somebody look into it and fix it somehow?
    Thanks
    Regards

    This could be lots of things.  I'd say it was some type of system corruption.
    First, thing is to define a new user  & see if the problem exits there. 
    If not, -- good news -- it is probably some finder preference.  You need to delete the finder preferences.
    Otherwise, the corruption is somewhere else.
    the  swag stuff…
    You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
    Check the amount of free space on your harddrive.  You should have a several gigs free.
    You should run disk utility
    a) verify the disk
    b) update your permissions.
    Try a safe boot.
    Shutdown your machine.  Hold down the shift key.  Poweron.  Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive is being checked.

  • Copy and Paste of Images NOT working.

    When I right click on an image and choose 'copy image' and then try to paste it into my editing software, all i get is a string of text that is the location of the image as if I had chosen 'copy image location' instead. what gives?

    I too was unable to copy & paste ''IMAGES'' suddenly. This function continued to work correctly in my Internet Explorer and Chrome browsers while not working in Firefox. (I WAS able to copy & paste ''''TEXT'''' however in all 3 browsers.)
    As described by another poster, I would click on "Copy image" as I always did, but instead of the image appearing when I clicked paste, the ''URL'' of the image appeared instead.
    My computer developed this problem suddenly yesterday after downloading and installing the newest version of Firefox, which is 12. I tried some of the suggested solutions here to no avail, but I strongly suspected the problem was with Firefox 12. To test this, I re-installed Firefox 11 and immediately my copy & paste function started to work correctly once again and I am now able to copy & paste images once again.
    I will not install Firefox 12 again until Firefox corrects this problem. I need this function and do not want to have to deal with a convoluted method of saving a graphic with unnecessary extra steps, thank you. Every single time I upgrade Firefox, something is incompatible with the new version and no longer works. This is always a nuisance, especially when it is my Norton toolbar.
    This time it was my copy & paste function (again, for images only.) Anyone else with this problem should re-install Firefox 11 to see if their copy & pasting of images function is suddenly restored, as mine was. Good luck! :)

  • Left cmd x not working

    Since this morning I can't 'cut' in an applications using left cmd+x it works ok with right cmd+x but this is rather a annoying to press.
    If I use the keyboard viewer I can see that the press of the x is not registered when I hold down the left cmd key, but is regsitered when holding down the right cmd key.

    Please do a SMC Reset at least 2-3 times, then resart normally and retest.

  • Cut and Paste between Events not working

    Using iPhoto11, I can drag and drop pictures between events, no problem...but Cut and Paste does not work.
    I select a photo and cut in event A, go to event B, I right click and get a PAST button, It even clicks but nothing happen, the Cut image never gets pasted.
    Is this a bug? whats the solution?

    To delete the test user, go to the black apple menu, click on system preferences, then on accounts. From an administrator account, click on the "test" user and hit the "-" key. when the dialog box comes up, hit "delete the home folder" and it will be gone.
    For the startup disk issue you should repair permissions. From the finder, click on the "go" menu, then on "utilities". Select disc utility. Select your HD and click on repair disk permissions. This will take several minutes (5 or more).
    If that has not done the trick then you may need to reset the parameter ram (PRAM).  Turn your computer off. When you turn it back on, simultaneously hold 4 keysL command-option-p-r. Keep holding them. The startup chime will ring. Continue to hold until you have heard the chime at least 2 times (more won't help or hurt). Then release.

  • Object Lock Shortcut (Cmd 2) - Not working

    I can use the Object Lock shortcut on my Mac at home but for some reason that I can't solve, it does not work on my office Mac.
    Are there any triggers or settings that I can toggle to allow me to use this extremely helpful shortcut???
    Thanks

    There are a couple of places to look as to why your CMD 2 is not working
    Illustrator  >> Edit >> Keyboard Shortcuts
    Yours should look like mine.
    Also look at your system preferences >> Keyboard, and you want to look at all of these to make sure CMD 2 has not been used for nay of the commands here.

  • Copy and Paste Keyboard Shortcut not working

    My copy and paste (Command C) function is not working. Tried to resent in keyboard menu, but it didn't do anything. VERY FRUSTRATING as I use this function all day long in my job. Can somebody help please?

    The 'input menu' would put a small flag on the main menu bar and allow
    you to click there, and see Keyboard Viewer, and Character Palette. A
    small keyboard will appear on the desktop and mirror all keys you use
    on the real keyboard. Or not. When they don't work in the Viewer, you
    can safely assume they don't work. (Or it is software, vs hardware.)
    Someday, when you have time and perhaps some extra hardware, you
    may consider making a backup clone of your computer contents on a
    large enough external hard disk drive to support bootable OS X clones;
    and also large enough to have more than one partition there, for extras.
    Then, do a completely new installation on a 'secure erased' hard disk drive.
    And then update it. You could migrate previous user setting info, into the
    new installation from an external drive's clone; or if you have extra discover
    time, you may find a cure to the underlying problem's cause and use the
    clone in the external hard disk drive as a backup. Maybe DiskWarrior?
    The problem in the system may be due to at least one possible malady; a
    corruption of system data, a bad block on the hard disk drive, or some other
    matter that somehow became bigger than life when combined with another.
    You may try the SafeBoot mode, repair disk permisions in Disk Utility, and
    then try reinstalling the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo update file, on top of it all.
    Then when it restarts, run SafeBoot again and re-repair disk permissions.
    (But any actual hard disk drive issue may exist and remain unattended.)
    Odd problems often are best attacked at a root level, after you have adequate
    backup; a bootable clone on supported self-powered external hard disk drive.
    Clone utilities such as SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner are fine tools;
    and CCC (bombich software) has evolved to be top-notch with site support.
    Glad you were able to remap some keys; I found several links in a search on
    how to do that, and had previously posted some URLs to help someone else
    on another user forum that covered some angles of resolving keyboard issues.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Paste functionality suddenly not working

    I currently use Captivate 3.  I have been working on a project where I have been editting the background image in Photoshop and pasting the editted version as a background to the original slide. Captivate is no longer pasting the image as a background. I do recieve the warning message, but when I click OK,  the old image is not replaced. I also tried it on a blank slide and the slide remained blank.
    As I was trouble shooting I realized the paste as image functionality is not working either.
    I am able to save images, import them to the library and then replace the background using the slide properties,,, but this takes way too long when you have 50 slides to edit.
    Any thoughts as to what is happening?
    Thanks-

    Hi there
    Perhaps try restarting Captivate. Sometimes it gets tangled in memory and needs a kick in the pants to straighten itself out.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Copy Mask Path, Paste to Position not working correctly PLEASE HELP!

    please help I'm really at the end of my tether with this
    When I create or place an object on my AF comp and then draw a mask. I try to paste that path into the position properties the path will be 'offset' and the object will not go to the start of the mask..it moves the mask then starts moving the object. this happens in AF CC, CS6 and CS5. I follow the tutorials to the letter and it off sets the object every time. What am I doing wrong?? I know its something really simple but i cant figure it out
    Please help!

    I just worked a complete thread on this subject. A quick search of the site with mask path in the query would bring up this thread.
    To simplify the explanation you layer must be at 100% scale and at the default position in the composition for this to work. It's as simple as that. If your layer's anchor point of position properties are not at the default position this will not work.
    Please check out the thread. There are multiple screen shots and explanations.

  • My copy and paste functions are not working properly since iOS 8 update

    Ever since I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 4s the copy and paste function isn't working. It'll work the first time but any time I copy something else it pastes the first thing I copy. The only fix I've found is rebooting the phone but that is a pain to do every time I want to copy something and should be very unnecessary. I updated to 8.0.2 but that didn't fix it.

    Have you tried rebooting?
