Since upgrading to iOS 9 I can't copy and paste any more. The print doesn't turn blue

ME too - and no replies yet so are we missing something simple? I wonder what else IOS 9 will throw at us? For instance I just tried to go back and sort an error and the cursor didn't go in where I needed it too so had to delete and retype. Can someone help?

Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on this device.

• Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
• Press and hold on the Home button
• Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

If this does not help, restore your device to factory settings. Note that this will erase the data from your device.

Take a look this Apple Support article: Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

THank you - that worked - I keep forgetting that this solves most issues.

Sounds good. Good to know the advice was helpful and the issue was solved. Have a wonderful day.

I have this same problem when trying to cut and paste from iCloud on my PC browser. I have routinely dictated something into Notes on my phone, followed by cutting and pasting the text at a later time on my PC (Browser logged into iCloud Notes). I can no longer do that, it only saves the text as an image! ACK!!

I tried resetting the phone and it did not help.
The only way to get copy and paste to work is to do it twice on each attempt. In line that means that when you open the app that you want to copy from you tap on the screen and it will highlight one word in blue. After it highlights one word in blue you tap the screen again which clears the copy and paste function then you tap and hold and highlight and blue again and then the copy function appears.

So yeah this is a glitch that the iOS nine needs to fix

There are more problems with text on iOS 9 than just the copy and paste function. apple definitely needs to make a revision to the ios9

I do basic level 1 troubleshooting for our iPad fleet at work and just had a consultant with this same issue. They were comparing it to a device still running iOS8 saying "It works on the old one but not the new one". Turned out to be user error, kind of - the person was using two fingers at the same time to select an area of text (Apparently something you could do on iOS 8). I'm assuming apple removed this functionality? Anyway, I told her to just double tap the word and drag the selectors out and she was fine.

So if you're trying to use two fingers at once to select the text, stop it.

The same is true on the MacBook and iMac. IOS has prevented "paste" when dealing with it in notes. However, if you need to "copy - paste" something into "notes" on MacBook or iMac, after you pull up "notes" in iCloud or from the dashboard, you may paste something from clipboard to notes using the shortcut keys "command" and the letter "v" to paste. I couldn't get "right click" methods to work but this did.

Same exact dilemma. Icloud notes on pc was very accessible on all pc browsers. Copy and pasting text from notes made organization out of all the sense in the world. I don't know why ios 9 would remove such a feature.😠

I have this issue too - since upgrading to 12.1.3.6.

Now are you referring to Copying and Pasting

music/video etc. from iTunes to the device?

That's my problem. I have to drag & drop

everything, which takes much longer to

load a device or to create playlists within

the device.

Has this issue been solved?
I am now running OS X El Capitan and I am now getting this issue with not being able to copy & paste to NOTES
