Unable to copy and paste, I.e. Copy recipes from FaceBook and paste in NOTES.

I Have an IPad 2 with recently installed IOS 8.02.  I no longer can copy and then paste into NOTES on the IPad.

No luck unfortunately, BDAqua.
Did the following:
1.  Show hidden files
Did the terminal command as above.
Force Relaunched Finder.
All the hidden files appeared.
The root directory had a /tmp shortcut which pointed to /private/tmp.
Created a new folder (“untitled folder”) on the Desktop and —
could copy or move random text files already on the Powerbook's HD to the new folder;
could not copy–paste or drag–drop files from DVD to the new folder.
2. Set up new user account
Created a new user account (“test”) with Administrator privileges.
Switched to the new user account.
Created a new folder (“untitled folder”) on the Desktop and —
could copy or move newly–generated text files from the Desktop to the new folder;
could not copy–paste or drag–drop files from DVD to the new folder.
3. Check Desktop info
Navigated to user root directory.
Selected Get Info for Desktop folder:
Desktop folder is not locked;
Sharing & Permissions privileges for [user] were already set to Read & Write;
changed the Sharing & Permissions privileges for ‘Everybody‘ from Read Only to Read & Write;
Force Relaunched Finder.
Could copy or move files around HD but could not copy files from DVD to HD.

    Assuming you are not manually managing your music, verify the following:
    You are using the latest version of iTunes
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
    You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

  • I am unable to copy files from my macbook pro to my external hard disk.

    I am unable to copy files from my macbook pro to my external hard disk. I tried to copy a movie 800mb in size to my EDD and  it shows the loading box and it says zero kb loaded out of 800mb and sometimes it loads a a few kb of the file, then after a while it ejects my hard disk and gives a message saying you should have ejected it properly. and it sometimes gives this message
    "The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “....” can’t be read or written.
    (Error code -36)".
    This happens with a range of files if they are more than a few mb in size, so I am pretty sure its not the file problem. It also occurs sometimes when i try to copy from my EDD to my mac.
    I have tried everything. I formatted my EDD to MS-DOS (FAT) format because i need to use it with mac and windows. I tried resetting The SMC and the PRAM and NVRAM. I tried verify and disk repair on disk utility. But the same thing happens over again and it is really frustrating. The problem doesnt happen with my PC.
    My EDD is an  Apollo 320GB hard drive from Imation.
    Also are there any particular EDD brands that may not have this issue with MACs and can be used on mac and PC?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey guys,
    So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.

    how to transfer data from macbook pro to an external hard drive, im using (WD 1TB 3.0) ???. I cannot copy anything from my mac to it not a single file.

    ok - since you'll be sharing it with a PC - connect it to your windows pc - then format from there - instead of NTFS format - choose exFAT.
    or, you can read the link below on how to do it in dos mode.
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/how-can-i-forma t-external-drive-in-exfat-not-in/0f6bf19a-19d6-4470-ae05-53ddf26bb476?msgId=1860 eae3-3488-4eea-8326-f87b89d9851b
    once you've formatted it - you can now use it in both your macbook and windows computer.

  • Unable to Copy File From Terminal Server to Client Share

    Hi
    For years client have been able to copy files from our Windows 2003 Terminal Server to their local workstation using:
    copy myfile \\tsclient\mydrive\myfolder
    However we upgraded to Windows 2012 Server R2 and now Windows 7 Pro clients cannot copy files.  The copy function creates the file name in their local folder but no content is sent after maybe 20 minutes or so the copy function times out and they get an
    error message saying that the application was unable to write to the file.  I have tried this function with my Windows 8.1 workstation and the file copies properly and it works fine for older Windows XP clients.  Does anyone know why Windows 7 clients
    are experiencing this issue.
    Thanks
    Simon

    Hi Simon,
    Initially please use latest RDP version 8.1 for windows 7 and check result. 
    What’s the file size which you are copying?
    Does this happens for all users and on all computers?
    You can try below method might resolve your case.
    1. Login to remote computer using Remote Desktop (RDP). 
    2. Open Task Manager in the remote machine
    3. Click the "Process" tab
    4. Locate a program called "rdpclip.exe"
    5. Right click and select "End process" to kill this program
    6. Click on "File" menu in the task manager and select "New Task (Run)"
    7. Type rdpclip.exe and press the button to start the process.
    By killing existing instance of the rdpclip.exe and restarting the program, you can get your copy paste work again in your remote desktop.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Unable to copy music from Mac to Windows PC using Home Sharing on iTunes 12

    Hi all,
    I use both a Macbook Pro and a Windows PC.  I am trying to copy music from my Macbook Pro onto my PC within iTunes 12 using HomeSharing but seem to be unable to do this.
    When I connect to the Mac library on the PC, I can play the tracks without any issue.  But when I try to drag the song to the side to copy to the PC , nothing happens.  I don't get the window that should pop up on the left of the screen and there is no option for Import at the bottom of the screen either.
    I am however able to copy music from the PC to the Mac without an issue.  The window pops up on the left when I drag the track within my Mac, and the Import button shows up on the bottom of the screen.  It is only when I want to copy from the Mac to the PC.
    I have checked the Sharing tab in preferences, and on both systems it is enabled.  I tried disabling and then re-enabling.
    I am also unable to using the download Purchased items in iTunes, as my Mac and PC are connected to different iTunes accounts.  Both machines are authorised to play both accounts though.
    Any advice?

  • Unable to copy file from local drive to external drive

    I'm attempting to copy a 7gb file from my local drive on my iMac to an external firewire drive. Whenever I try to do this I get the following message: Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred.
    I've rebooted, checked permissions on local and external drive. I'm the only person that uses this iMac. It only has one profile on it. Any suggestions?

    Hello Sikwidityo
    If that External HD is formatted MS-DOS FAT32, then there is a 4GB file size limit that the iMac's can write to it.
    See > http://www.macworld.com/article/51972/2006/07/ww_drives.html
    In order to copy large files to it you from your Intel iMac's, you will need to set the Partition Map Scheme to GUID Partition Table and Format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    See > http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/partitioningtiger.html
    Keep in mind that repartitioning and reformatting will erase the current data on the External drive. So if you do, you'll need to copy it's contents to one of your iMac's and then back when your done.

  • Unable to copy files from mac to PC

    Hi,
    I have a mac (osx 10.6.3) and a PC (Windows Vista) connected to my local home network. On the PC there are some shared folders. I can connect to the PC using the "connect to server" dialog and I can get all those PC folders mounted in my desktop (apparently in read/write mode). Dragging files from the PC to my mac works nicely but, surprisingly, there is no way to drag files from my mac to the pc.
    When I drag a file from my mac to PC I'm always getting a dialog asking me to introduce my password to "allow Finder to make changes". I think it makes no sense because Finder should make no changes at all to copy a file to the PC and, on the other hand, I've read/write permissions on those files. After typing my password I get a second dialog: "One or more items can’t be copied to “Movies” because you don’t have permission to read them. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?". Again, it makes no sense because I do have read/write permissions on those files. Unfortunately, any file is transferred after clicking "continue". This behavior is independent of file size, file type and permissions. No way to get any file transferred to the PC. What I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi, paullopez.
    Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, in my previous post, I forgot to comment that I had macFuse and ntfs-3g already installed in my mac. I wonder if the problem is related to the osx implementation of SAMBA. Or, alternatively, ntfs-3g may be not able to work with samba mounted volumes? I have very little experience in sharing files via SAMBA so any help is welcomed.
