Sorry, no manipulations with clipboard allowed

I've been trying to copy and paste but all that shows up is "Sorry, no manipulations with clipboard allowed." I tried using the activity monitor, terminal and restart method. However, nothing seems to work so I would like to know how to resolve this issue.

Hello vc2002,


Thanks for reaching out through the Apple Support Communities about that difficulty with copying and pasting on your Mac.


Does this occur with multiple apps and documents?


Have you been able to copy and paste in the past without any difficulties? If so, approximately how long has this been happening?


Also, is your Mac all up to date? Update macOS on Mac


Hopefully those details will help to further isolate this behavior.


Take care.
