few days ago, my macbook was automatically update the supplemntary patch of high sierra. Then, i can only COPY but nothing can be PASTE. Whenever I PASTE, there was a pop-up message notify me that the ''pboard quit unexpectedly"
Can anybody tell me how to solve it without reinstall OS ??? thanks
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13)
Entering this command in Terminal and restarting the Mac cleared up the issue for me:
sudo update_dyld_shared_cache
It will ask you for your admin password, which you enter and hit "Return".
Let it run until it is done (it will spit out a bunch of "warnings" - DO NOT BE ALARMED, THIS IS NORMAL).
Then restart your Mac.
Because nobody every runs a Terminal command without knowing what it does (!!!), right?, here's the low-down:
WHAT IT DOES:
It updates the listing of shared system services used by various applications ("dynamic linker").
Simplified explanation:
When any application uses a function supplied by the operating system, it needs to reference, look up, and dynamically load the system library that actually performs that function. This can take time, so every time you install software or first run it, the system looks up all the libraries it requires and puts them in a list linking them to that app (in earlier systems, this was called "update prebinding", these days, it's what happens when you see "optimising system").
This saves a lot of time later on and speeds up performance.
Apparently, a bug in High Sierra can cause the libraries needed for copy and paste (the clipboard) to get disconnected from the list of services, the dynamic linker daemon database.
So forcing the system to re-check all of that database (dyld cache) will restore this functionality.
I’m having the same problem too..
Apple, what is going on? It just worked before and stopped work recently...
Safe mode and killall pboard doesn't help
Dude, you are a lifesaver.
Thanks! This solved the issue for me.
Thanks Spheric! you saved my life :-)
Thanks a lot for you answer. Unfortunately it didn't work for me, maybe because I have this message at the end of the process:
Bus error: 10
Do someone know what it means?
copy/paste is not working after updated High sierra
