Hello I updated MAc and got a new Iphone 12 and it stopped copy and pasting between each other on the go. How do I turn that back? Thank you
They both connected to the same wifi and same icloud and etc.
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
hello viktoriia0712 and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty with the Universal Clipboard feature on your iPhone and on your Mac. Start here:
Use Universal Clipboard to copy and paste between your Apple devices
Cheers.
Hi Viktoriia0712.
That will depend on what data is associated with iCloud on your device. For most people this means contacts and calendar events. You can check to see what services are using iCloud on your device at Settings > [yourname] > iCloud.
For additional guidance, reach out to Apple Support directly.
Contact Apple for support and service
Cheers.
So, If I'm trying to sign out it will delete everything, I kinda don't want to do that. It will take tremendous time to put everything back. How can I avoid this?
Can I keep a copy or should I erase everything?
Do I need to keep a copy of my Icould photos on my mac? Or delete from Mac? (if keep, then how I erase it in the sake of space on my mac? )
Hi viktoriia0712.
Signing out of iCloud should not delete data. As a fail-safe, when you sign out on the Mac, you'll be prompted to choose whether or not to save local copies of specific data sets. Signing back in should restore the data on all devices.
Cheers.
Hello Mario49, Thank you and it still not clear to me what I should choose for the save and fast process?
"whether or not to save local copies of specific data sets." - So what should I do? Which one?
It's all connected to the right network and iCouldб. I have done everything that is on this page but still doesn't work. What do I do next?
Hi viktoriia0712.
Thanks for the reply and additional information.
As this feature is tied to the Apple ID you're using on both devices, try this:
1) Sign out of iCloud on both devices. On the Mac, do this at System Preferences > Apple ID > Overview. On the iPhone, do this at Settings > [your name]
2) Shut down both the Mac and the iPhone
3) Reboot and sign in on the Mac
4) Reboot and sign in on the iPhone
5) Test
Cheers.
My mac and phone not copying to each other
