COPY & PASTE not working!

I recently did the OS update on my MacBook Air, just to find out the copy and paste function is not working. I already searched Apple support and followed the steps to try and fix the issue. However the 2 that were suggested did not work. Can someone please help me. Thanks.

Try rebuilding the launch services database. These are only cache files but can get corrupted.


Launch Terminal Triple click anywhere on the following line to copy entire line then at the prompt copy & paste this command: Then press return. Wait for the cursor to return to the command line.


/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain u -domain s -domain l -v
