Same issue. Running 10.10. MBP Retina 13 (Early 2013).
Previous attempts to resolve the issue
a. have reset keyboard preferences
b. have shut down and restarted twice
c. have shut down and restarted in safe mode, then restarted to clear cache
Learning: Appears to be just for browser software.

2. Go to Word/Text Edit/Evernote or open a new tab in the browser and press CMD+V
3. Nothing happens

  • Why can't I copy and paste from Illustrator to Flash?

    I have this silly but frustrating problem. I've drawn a
    series of objects in Illustrator and have copied and pasted many of
    them into separate frames in Flash and all of a sudden they won't
    paste. There are 3 objects I'm trying to paste onto each frame and
    2 of them will paste, but 1 won't. I don't have anything locked and
    I have no clipping masks in Illustrator. They will copy and paste
    in Illustrator. I've tried copy and pasting them separately, I've
    tried opening a new Flash document and pasting, I've tried
    restarting my computer. Does this sound like just another freak
    thing or does anyone have any ideas? Is there some keyboard
    shortcut I might have bumped in Flash to change some hidden
    setting...? But then why is it just 1 of the 3 objects that won't
    paste?
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I think I tried all the options and none worked. Even so, the clipboard options say "Clipboard on Quit". That sounds like it has nothing to do with between active programs.
    I'm able to paste from CS5 TO CC though.

  • Why can't I copy and paste from word into websites?

    Hi,
    I have been accepted as a writer for 3 online publishers, but cannot copy and paste examples of my work from Word into their websites. The clipboard behaviour seems erratic - sometimes I can copy text from websites and paste into Word, sometimes not.
    Can somebody help? It is vital that I am able to supply examples of my written work without having to physically re-type everything or send the examples as attachments.
    Thanks,

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

  • Why can't I copy and paste from my notepad?

    I am trying to "copy" from my notepad and "paste" it to another site. It won't work!!  Is it the other site or something I am doing wrong??

    I touch the screen, then touch "select all", then touch "copy".  (I'm
    trying to paste it into a dating site - no laughing, please?!?! - in
    reply to a message someone sent me.) I go to the site and touch
    and hold my finger where I want to paste it, but when I have the option
    of touching "paste", nothing pastes. Sure has me baffled!!!!????

  • Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library?

    Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library? I want to have a copy of the music on iTunes so when I update to a newer version of iOS I don't lose my music. And no I didn't buy this music off iTunes and neither will I use iTunes Match.

    There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
    All of your media should be in iTunes already.
    If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
    If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

  • (v 5.5) I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another.

    I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another in Illustrator (5.5). This started happening a few days ago. Restarting Illustrator and also my computer (Mac) didn't help. Any ideas?

    To clarify: If I select an object in layer 1 using command/c or command/x then select layer 2 and press command/v the object gets pasted back into layer 1 instead of layer 2. I've tried everything I can think of and can't correct the problem.
    Now the only way I can get an object from one layer to another is to drag it into another layer in the layers window.

  • Keynote and transfer of presentations why can't I copy and paste?

    Hey Community!
         I've always been a Mac lover, but now....... I'm ready to do somethin'......  Very frustrated with update to new Mavericks and Keynote V.6.  I have updated my presentations from the previous version of Keynote into the new version.  I am trying to copy and paste elements from multiple seperates presentations into one presentation.  When I paste the presentation into my "master", the font size changes, format changes.  It's a pain in the (beep, boop, poop).
    I get a message:  OSX Spotlight search information was removed".
         I'm really confused.  Why can't one just copy and paste from one show to another when its in the same program!?

    If I understand correctly you want the title to appear on top of a later video clip so both title and clip are visible.   The problem is the "whites" background which is both making the background opaque and stopping you from pasting it above another clip.  If you just select and drag the title by itself, the background will be transparent so the video clip below will show through.  You should also be able to copy and paste it directly above the clip you want.
    If you want different parts of the title to have a special effect you will have to edit each instance after you have made and positioned the copies.
    I hope this helps - or have I misunderstood?

  • Why can't you copy and paste text from the Dictionary widget?

    I use this dictionary often, but I wish that I was able to copy and paste the text from it.

    Just use the Dictionary application in the Applications folder. You will have no problem copying and pasting text from the full application. I just tried it and it works fine.

  • Can no longer copy and paste from MS apps

    Could be a nightmare a-brewin'.
    As webmaster for a transit company, I'm responsible for
    updating the schedules for our 50+ bus routes three times a year on
    piercetransit.org. So I opened one up today in Dreamweaver 8 and
    launched our brand new version of Excel Mac 2008 to copy and paste
    schedule times into a web page. And it didn't work!
    Up til now, Excel has been an irreplaceable tool for
    converting data from our weird, 70's-era bus scheduling software
    [Hastus] into something Dreamweaver can understand. But no matter
    how much I fiddle with options under Copy and Paste preferences,
    today I got nothing -- literally. It's as if there's nothing
    whatsoever on the clipboard. Earlier, I'd noticed the same problem
    with our new version of Word, but since I rarely paste anything
    into Dreamweaver from Word, I was only mildly irked by it. Given
    the thousands of bus arrival and departure times on our site,
    however, the inability to insert data from Excel into DMW would be
    a disaster!
    Am I just missing something, or is this some kind of "How
    dare you use anything other than one of OUR products?"
    gotcha from Evilco?

    This has been an issue with Office 2008 for Mac even with the
    CS3 version of Dreamweaver. I believe the only workaround is to do
    a paste special as text only but you will lose formatting this way.
    You can do a search on this forum also for other suggestions
    because I didn't follow the old topics before because I didn't
    upgrade till recently, but there might be some other tricks around
    here.

  • I can't copy and paste from Word to the Internet (Firefox or Chrome), but I can copy and paste from Internet to Word

    I suddenly can't copy and paste text from Word to the internet (Firefox or Chrome, email or other websites), but I can do the reverse. Any ideas? Copy and paste works between Word docs, and it works between internet sites (e.g., web page to email), just not from Word to the internet. Please help. I need to copy and paste my resume for an online job application.

    There are a range of different kinds of forms. For example, this site uses very simple controls that don't automatically convert Word's formatting to an online format. The site where you are trying to paste your resume probably works differently.
    What methods have you tried using to paste? Typically one of these will work:
    * Ctrl+v
    * right-click > Paste
    * Edit > Paste (from the menu)
    Some sites offer their own buttons to paste, but for security/privacy reasons, Firefox usually disables those.

  • How can I copy and paste from Google "Keep"? Whenever i try, the copied text doesn't get copied on the Firefox clipboard, it copies to my 'default' clipboard.

    I can't get the Firefox clipboard to appear when i try to copy from Google Keep. Please help, thanks.

    Hi again LvScience:
    (jsoulless40's advice (thanks js40!) of trying the desktop site in Firefox when using the Keep web app is fine but i think you are using the Keep App right, not the web app version right?)
    Thanks for the device info: "Android OS is 4.1.2 on a Samsung Rugby Pro". I don't have that tablet but I do have two android samsung tablets running 4.x
    I should have asked before:
    '''What exact steps where you following when you copied and pasted into a "newly opened document"'''
    My steps were (on my Samsung Tab S 10 running 4.4.2):
    # in Firefox selected and then copied some text
    # switched to Google's Keep app
    # '''successfully pasted the text in Keep into the "Add quick note", also tapped on the new note icon and pasted the text into a new note'''

  • Why can't I copy and paste a document in an online class discussion?

    I just updated Firefox. I am currently participating in an online college class and for some reason cannot paste a report I have typed in word on the discussion page of the class? I haven't had any trouble before this. This document needs to be done today!
