How in the world does a Mac lose it's universal shortcuts like CmdC (copy)?
Lost the universal copy/paste functionality. Had to manually add them back in to keyboard shortcuts. They don't work in every program. If I copy/paste a url from a browser, it doesn't paste into ANYTHING. What an absolute frustrating experience! The most common of functionalities went missing and now they don't work right. Really? Come on Apple! This is not what Mac users are used to out of Apple.

Run Disk Utility to see if the startup disk needs repairing.
You can also try a Safe Mode boot which deletes system caches that may help..
Follow these steps to start up into safe mode.
- Start or restart your Mac.
- Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key.
- Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
After the Apple logo appears, it might take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your desktop. This is because your Mac performs a directory check of your startup disk as part of safe mode.
To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.
Then try copy / paste keyboard shortcuts.
