Sep 22, 2016 9:08 AM in response to sphydby Andrea VEH,I also have this problem. It's able to copy from MacBook Air and paste on iPhone, but it doesn't work in another way. After copying some text on the iPhone, the clipboard of the Mac doesn't sync.

You can try
1. Turn bluetooth off
2. Finder>Go>Go to Folder, copy and paste:
/Library/Preferences/
3. Delete the file com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
4. Turn bluetooth on

Sep 22, 2016 11:48 AM in response to leroydouglasby Kiseyob,I have the opposite problem. iPhone to MacBook Pro is working. But it's not working from Mac to iPhone.
Deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist doesn't help.
I followed all in Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support and they are on the same wifi access point.

Sep 23, 2016 3:05 AM in response to sphydby Rockallite,Me too. Exactly the same problem. I have iPhone 6 with iOS 10.0.1 and MacBook Air Early-2015 with macOS Sierra installed from Mac App Store this morning. Mac copying & iPhone pasting works, but the reverse doesn't.

I tried, then there's absolutely the same result: Mac copying & iPhone pasting works, but the reverse doesn't.
I don't think that's a Bluetooth related problem, because the clipboard sync works at lease one way (Mac -> iPhone). This is solely a software problem in my opinion.

Sep 23, 2016 9:15 AM in response to sphydby Rockallite,Simply restarting the iPhone 6 solves the problem. Now iPhone copying & Mac pasting OK!

Sep 23, 2016 12:53 PM in response to Kiseyobby Irina Migunova,Same problem here. Nothing seems to fix it. And actually even 'working' copy from iPhone to mac is very unreliable - it works 1 time out of 2.

Sep 23, 2016 1:17 PM in response to sphydby sswitzer1952,I had this problem as well. iPhone 6s Plus to iMac 27" (running MacOS 10.12.1 Beta (16B2327e). I restarted the phone and now it's working again

Sep 23, 2016 1:26 PM in response to sswitzer1952by Irina Migunova,Actually everything stopped working after I logged iCloud account on mac off and back on. Handoff stopped working at all, even one way clipboard stopped working. The only thing that still works is AirDrop.
Very disappointed for a feature that should 'just work' like 'magic'. Too bad there are no single indicator or tool to troubleshoot it.

Thanks for the suggestion. -
Sep 23, 2016 3:42 PM in response to Kiseyobby seung yob,After rebooting Mac and iPhone, symptom has been reversed. Like other guys, I can copy only from Mac to iPhone now.
