Q: iOS 8.1 : copy and paste still not working normally

Most of the time, copying and pasting between apps give wrong results: when pasting, I get an older version of the clipboard, even after having done 2 factory resets. Does anyone has the same problem? I own an iPad mini first generation.

    That's a good idea. I was thiking along the lines of the feedback link where the word feedback appears in the link. Right now it's tap contact, tap product feedback, copy link, hit the back arrow twice. hit recover, paste. The most important thing is we're talking about a solution Instead of the pointless complaining too many people engage in. I attached a link to flaberguest's solution and the first two replies the people refused because of the keyboard history issue. Oh well, you can only try.

    I can understand people being reluctant to install an app as a solution. At least they know know, in case they get sick of waiting for Apple to fix it.

     

    Have you ever thought of using keyboard shortcuts for your library of links?

     

    The the reason I thought of that is that I just noticed my shortcuts are no longer working! I'm sure I used one this morning, so I'm wondering if this clipboard app has caused this. Anyone else got the problem?

     

    I tried deleting the app, but it didn't fix it. I can confirm though that deleting and reinstalling does clear the history, although oddly there was still one entry remaining.

    i have been experiencing the same problem. Here is my two cents....take your iPad 2 and throw it out the window. F Apple and F 8.1.

    Hello there,

     

    Thank you for using my keyboard app!

    I was developed "Clipboard - Copy History Keyboard Extension". (Too long name...)

     

    It's works fine on your devices? If you have any questions and any suggestions please tell me.

     

    This app will update. (not soon.. maybe a couple weeks later)

     

    - Add some control keys. Enter/Return, Backspace and Space key.

    - Improve UI

    - Can delete each entries (Maybe)

     

    Thank you! and I'm sorry my English...

    Dear Teruaki,

     

    As a programmer, could you explain how it is possible that, since the iOS 8 upgrade, many of us experience this copy/paste problem? Sometimes, when copy/pasting something new, we paste something that has been copied days ago!

    I didn't realized you added to your post. I tried using keyboard shortcuts but everytime I tapped p I got press and hold the home and power button etc. flashed on the screen so I turned it off. I don't think the clipboard app caused the problems with your keyboard shortcuts because a number of other people reported having problems with the shotcuts.

    I still don't met with this problem. And, My clipboard app is not have special trick to work. It is using iOS function usually.

     

    This issue being from iOS 7, maybe?

    http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/394747-ios-7-clipboard-issue

     

    I think this issue is a bug of clipboard or the Copy/Cut/Paste menu in iOS 8.

    I don't know why your device is not works fine...

     

    Would you try this method? ↓

     

    IOS 8 copy paste problem + slowdown

    I had the same problem, then I got this solution:

     

    Back up  device + Factory reset + Restore = Copy / Paste works again.

     

    (Beta testers are encouraged to always do a clean install after a beta period when the official release comes. Shame on me!)

    I will add any cursor keys at next next update.;-)

    And will add some special keys to control a selection.

     

    Please looking forward to update!

    I want to copy a few lines from a website and paste them into a text message. I tried doing the copy command three times, then pasted, but it didn't work. I have no "select all" option for the webpage.

    Re: copy paste problems with iphone 4s 8.1 upgrade

     

      

      

    Hi Diane ..

     

    Tap Settings > Safari then tap to Clear History and Website Data

     

    Then reset the device.

     

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.


    Then open Safari and try to copy / paste.

    TThanks for the app,and for joining this thread! I think that the ability to delete the copy history inside the app is a critical one.

     

    Greatly looking forward to your enhancements.

    I have the exact same issue since moving to iOS 8 using a 16 GB iPad Mini 2012. Copy & Paste doesn't seem to recall what I have copied on the clipboard. Today I now find that Siri isn't working either. I've done a factory reset and still no response form Siri.
