How to solve the universal Clipboard ( copy/past between devices) on the new version of the macOS Monterey. I use to cut text or picture on macbook pro and paste on my iPad notes on the previous version but now with Monterey it not working.
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
Hi Guys,
this issue was quickly resolved for me after I called Apple Care. Follow the instructions below.
After the Monterey update
If Universal Clipboard is not working and you 'have not' updated to Montery
After updating to Monterey it is not working for me too. Till now, I am assuming it is because my iPhone is on 14.3 version. Seems not the iOS issue, because I could read ppl already on iOS15 are also having same issue.
Same for me (computer to phone works, phone to computer fails). It's extremely frustrating because we use Google Authenticator on our phones and the ability to copy the number from there and paste that MFA into other systems was invaluable. Any word from Apple on why it's not working?
Unfortunately for me, the problem has not been solved with the 12.1 Monterrey update. My iPhone 2020 SE and iPad 9th generation are both running the latest software, 15.2. They both can use Universal Clipboard between each other, but my M1 Mac mini cannot copy to either device via Universal Clipboard. Sometimes it can receive pastes from the iPhone and iPad though.
It’s very frustrating. I tried all possible solutions listed here as well as Terminal commands to reset the clipboard and clear its contents. No luck.
I just upgraded to Monterey approximately Jan. 15, 2022 (running 12.1) and it will not copy and paste. I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max and have no issue with copy and paste. I have a feeling there's more than a few of us Apple. Would like a fix for this.
Which version of iPadOS are you running? I can copy text/images from my M1 MBA running Monterey to my iPad Pro running iPadOS 15.1.
hello dialabrain,
As I said, I have the latest version on all my device and since my update, to Monterey, the functionality stop working.
I have a MacBook pro early 2015.
regards,
ASTRO24, I believe you may be confusing Universal Control, which will be available later this fall, with Universal Clipboard, which is working for the most part for me. At least on my newer Macs.
I think you are talking about Universal Control and not Universal Clipboard.
Regards.
It works from my iPhone 6s running iOS 15.1 to my M1 MBA running macOS 12.0.1.
i can’t copy between my MBP 2018 and my iPhone 11 Pro
both devices are on the same wifi, bluetooth is on, handoff is on and they’re in range
Are you sure you mean for Universal Clipboard?
Still not working for me. I followed all those steps, Handoff is working. All I can see is "Scan Text" when I attempt to paste (Macbook Pro 2019 Intel to iPhone XS Max iOS 15.1).
I updated around the same time, Jan. 15, 2022, and the universal clipboard has not worked since. Very frustrating. Have wasted tons of time with support trying to fix it to no avail.
