Hi, I own a magickeyboarb, my mac is recent too, mac mini M2 Pro, and I noticed often, I do a copy and paste and it Copy nothing.
Have you met that problem too ?
I think it's related to the new processor made by Apple.
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
I have 2 Apple Magic Keyboard with the Rechargeable batteries
As a Test, I have chosen your entire text in you reply above and used Command ⌘ key + c
Went into Finder >> Edit >> Show Clipboard
Below image are the results
Tested on 3 different Apple Computers each running macOS 15.1 Sequoia
As the Command ⌘ key + c is Hard Wired into macOS since I have no idea for how long
Maybe going back to OS X 10.4 Tiger released on April 29, 2005
I seriously doubt the issue is related to macOS 14 Sonoma released Oct 22, 2023
It's mac keyboard and cost a bunch, and btw I'm a pro user, Coder, Substance, Blender, and I got my first mac in 1995, and never got any problem of Copy and Paste in past.
I just want to see if other pros like me, met the same problems.
Thanks :)
If it were the OS, then essentially everyone would be having this issue. Clearly, that is not the case or mention of it would be everywhere.
You may have third party software installed that is stepping on keystrokes they are not supposed to use. Or, it could be a hardware fault. Or, weak batteries in the keyboard.
Start the Mac up in Safe Mode. It's the only way to eliminate all third party possibilities as the problem could be being caused items in the root Library's LaunchDaemon and LaunchAgents folders, which will load even under a brand new user account.
In Safe Mode, try copy/paste at random intervals for an hour or so. Or, however long and often you feel would prove, or disprove the test. Does the problem persist?
If no, then something in your normal account is interfering with the system. If yes, then there's a hardware issue of some sort. It may be as simple as nearly dead batteries in the keyboard. Also, try removing the keyboard from Bluetooth, then add it again.
Similar to depleted batteries in the keyboard, the batteries may be going bad (not holding a charge). Try the keyboard with the charging cable plugged in. Does the keyboard work as expected when it's always getting external power, but fails when unplugged?
Yes, that's nice but I am on Sonoma, not Sequoia :)
Like the trash, that was fully glitched on Ventura, now it works aweomse on Sonoma.
Depend too, maybe you don't work as faster as me, that could explain.
Btw I haven't said it's doesn't work, just It doesn't work times to times.
I own an M1 Mini with an Apple wireless keyboard with Touch ID and have never had a problem copying things.
I have an M2 MacBook Pro and also do not have any problems with copying.
M2 Pro mini here, and have never had any problem with copy or paste.
The keyboard may be faulty. If you have any other board, try that one. It can even be a wired keyboard with a PC layout.
Well, I didn't say anything about tossing the current keyboard. Just to try a different one to see if the problem persists or not.
Yes i got a similar problem with my old keyboard and the funny sutff here, i got those problem a tons of times today.
So or the mac keyboard sucks or the system .
