复制和粘贴功能可以轻松地在应用程序中复制和移动文本、多媒体文件和其他类型的文档。您可以使用键盘快捷键从菜单栏复制和粘贴数据,也可以使用(Menu Bar)通用剪贴板(Universal Clipboard)功能跨Apple设备复制和粘贴数据。
尽管在应用程序之间和跨设备复制数据非常容易,但一些Mac用户在尝试复制和粘贴文本和文件时会遇到“抱歉(Sorry),不允许使用剪贴板进行操作”错误。
如果这描述了您当前的困境,您应该阅读这篇文章以了解此错误的含义、其成因以及如何解决它。
“抱歉(Sorry),不允许(No Manipulations)使用剪贴板进行操作”错误是什么意思
当您在设备上复制文本或文件时,macOS 会将复制的项目临时保存在称为“剪贴板”的虚拟存储中。复制的项目会保留在剪贴板中,直到您关闭Mac或复制新项目。“抱歉(Sorry),不允许使用剪贴板进行操作”表示您无法访问或将数据写入Mac的剪贴板,因此无法复制或粘贴数据。
如果系统进程为剪贴板供电出现故障,或者您的 Mac 操作系统存在错误和过时,您将收到此错误。恶意软件(Malware)和病毒感染也可能导致此错误。以下故障排除步骤之一应有助于消除错误。
(Restart)重新启动或刷新(Refresh)粘贴板服务器(Pasteboard Server)
粘贴(Pasteboard)板或印刷板是一个重要的系统进程,负责将复制或剪切的数据从一个应用程序存储和粘贴到另一个应用程序。板服务器还临时保存您移动到Mac上不同目的地的数据。
例如,当您将文件从一个文件夹拖动到另一个文件夹时,它会在移动到目标文件夹/位置之前临时存储在“拖动粘贴板”中。
如果粘贴板服务器出现故障(pasteboard server is malfunctioning)或意外退出,您可能会遇到“抱歉(Sorry),不允许(No Manipulations)使用剪贴板进行操作”错误。刷新服务器有时可以解决问题。
从活动监视器重新启动 Pboard 服务器(Restart Pboard Server From the Activity Monitor)
- 转到Finder > Applications > Utilities并双击Activity Monitor。
或者,按Command + Space bar ,在Spotlight搜索字段中键入活动监视器,然后选择(activity monitor)Activity Monitor。
- 在右上角的搜索栏中输入pboard ,然后在“进程名称”列中双击pboard 。
- 选择退出(Quit)。
- 选择强制退出(Force Quit)。
这将终止并立即重新启动粘贴板服务器。关闭活动监视器(Activity Monitor)并检查您现在是否可以在Mac上复制和粘贴数据。
使用终端重启 Pboard 服务器(Restart Pboard Server Using Terminal)
您可以使用macOS 终端实用程序(macOS Terminal utility)做很多事情。您可以使用该工具来识别网络设置(identify network settings)、清空 Mac 的垃圾箱(empty your Mac’s trash)以及终止(terminate ancillary processes)在后台运行的辅助进程。如果通过Activity Monitor(Activity Monitor)刷新粘贴板服务器后错误消息仍然存在,请尝试从终端(Terminal)控制台终止进程。
- 前往Finder > Applications > Utilities并双击Terminal。
启动终端(Terminal)的更快方法是通过Spotlight搜索。在搜索栏中输入终端并选择终端以(terminal)启动(Terminal)应用程序。
- 在终端控制台中键入或粘贴sudo killall pboard ,然后按(sudo killall pboard)Enter。
- 输入 Mac 的密码,然后按Enter。
关闭终端(Terminal)控制台并检查您是否能够复制和粘贴文本和文件。请注意,刷新或重新启动粘贴板服务器将清除 Mac 的剪贴板并删除所有以前复制的内容。这将删除剪贴板中的所有损坏数据并解决“抱歉(Sorry),不允许使用剪贴板进行操作”错误。
强制退出 WindowServer
WindowServer处理构成 Mac 图形用户界面 ( GUI )的多个组件,例如Dock和菜单栏(Menu Bar)以及其他重要的后台进程。从社区讨论来看,强制退出(From)WindowServer似乎可以解决 macOS 的复制粘贴功能问题(fix issues with macOS’ copy-and-paste functionality)。
请注意,强制退出WindowServer将关闭所有活动的应用程序和窗口。该操作还会将您从Mac中注销。虽然所有关闭的应用程序都会在您登录时自动重新启动,但您可能会丢失未保存的数据。因此,我们建议您在重置WindowServer之前手动关闭所有应用程序和窗口。
- 启动活动监视器,在搜索字段中输入windowserver,然后双击WindowServer。
- 在弹出的新窗口中选择退出按钮。(Quit)
- 选择强制退出(Force Quit)继续。
当您重新登录帐户时,macOS 将自动重新启动WindowServer 。输入您的密码或使用Touch ID登录,然后检查强制退出WindowServer是否可以解决问题。
更新你的 Mac
系统更新解决了阻止核心系统进程正常工作的故障。单击菜单栏上的Apple 标志,检查“(Apple logo)系统(System) 偏好设置(Preferences)”旁边是否有更新通知。
将您的Mac连接到 Internet 连接,在 Apple 菜单上选择系统偏好设置,选择(System Preferences)软件更新,(Software Update,)然后单击立即更新(Update Now)按钮。
重新启动你的 Mac
如果您的Mac(Mac)没有可用的更新,或者安装更新后错误仍然存在,重新启动您的Mac应该可以解决问题。安装软件更新后重新启动Mac(Mac)至关重要,尤其是在 macOS 安装程序建议这样做的情况下。
关闭所有活动的应用程序,单击菜单栏上的Apple 标志,然后选择(Apple logo)重新启动(Restart)。
扫描 Mac 中的恶意软件和病毒
如前所述,此错误可能是由于恶意软件或病毒感染所致。如果您的Mac上有防病毒工具,请执行完整的系统扫描以检查潜在的病毒感染。此外,请查看最佳 macOS 防病毒软件的汇编,以(compilation of the best macOS antivirus)获取一些可靠的选项。
如果在尝试了这些建议后仍然出现此错误,请联系 Apple 支持(contact Apple Support)或前往附近的Genius Bar 天才吧(Genius Bar)检查您的Mac是否存在与硬件相关的问题。(Mac)
How to Fix “Sorry, No Manipulations With Clipboard Allowed” Error
The copy-and-paste functionality makes it easy to duрlicate and move texts, multimedia files, and other types of documents within applіcations. You can either copy and paste data using keyboаrd shortcuts, from the Menu Bar, or across your Apple devices using the Universal Clipboard feature.
Despite how easy it is to duplicate data between apps and across devices, some Mac users encounter a “Sorry, no manipulations with clipboard allowed” error when they try to copy and paste texts and files.
If this describes your current predicament, you should read this article to the end to see what this error means, its causative factors, and how to fix it.
What Does the “Sorry, No Manipulations With Clipboard Allowed” Error Mean
When you copy texts or files on your device, macOS temporarily saves the copied item in virtual storage called the “clipboard.” The copied item stays in the clipboard until you shut down your Mac or copy a new item. The “Sorry, no manipulations with clipboard allowed” means you cannot access or write data to your Mac’s clipboard and thus, cannot copy or paste data.
You’ll get this error if the system processes powering the clipboard malfunction or if your Mac’s operating system is bug-ridden and outdated. Malware and virus infection could also cause this error. One of the troubleshooting steps below should help eliminate the error.
Restart or Refresh the Pasteboard Server
Pasteboard or pboard is an important system process responsible for storing and pasting copied or cut data from one application to another. The pboard server also temporarily holds data you move to a different destination on your Mac.
For instance, when you drag a file from one folder to another, it’s temporarily stored in the “drag pasteboard” before it’s moved to the destination folder/location.
You might encounter the “Sorry, No Manipulations With Clipboard Allowed” error if the pasteboard server is malfunctioning or quits unexpectedly. Refreshing the server sometimes fixes the problem.
Restart Pboard Server From the Activity Monitor
- Go to Finder > Applications > Utilities and double-click Activity Monitor.
Alternately, press Command + Space bar, type activity monitor in the Spotlight search field, and select Activity Monitor.
- Enter pboard in the search field at the top-right corner and double-click pboard in the “Process Name” column.
- Select Quit.
- Select Force Quit.
That’ll terminate and immediately restart the pasteboard server. Close the Activity Monitor and check if you can now copy and paste data on your Mac.
Restart Pboard Server Using Terminal
There’s a lot you can do with the macOS Terminal utility. You can use the tool to identify network settings, empty your Mac’s trash, and terminate ancillary processes running in the background. If the error message persists after refreshing the pasteboard server via the Activity Monitor, try terminating the process from the Terminal console.
- Head to Finder > Applications > Utilities and double-click Terminal.
A quicker way to launch Terminal is from the Spotlight search. Type terminal in the search bar and select Terminal to launch the app.
- Type or paste sudo killall pboard in the Terminal console and press Enter.
- Enter your Mac’s password and press Enter.
Close the Terminal console and check if you’re able to copy and paste texts and files. Note that refreshing or restarting the pasteboard server will clear your Mac’s clipboard and delete all previously copied content. That would remove any corrupt data in the clipboard and resolve the “Sorry, no manipulations with clipboard allowed” error.
Force Quit the WindowServer
The WindowServer handles several components that make up your Mac’s graphical user interface (GUI), e.g., Dock and Menu Bar and other vital background processes. From community discussions, it seems that force-quitting the WindowServer can fix issues with macOS’ copy-and-paste functionality.
Note that force-quitting the WindowServer will close all active apps and windows. The operation will also log you out of your Mac. Although all closed applications automatically relaunch when you sign in, you might lose unsaved data. Therefore, we recommend that you manually close all applications and windows before resetting the WindowServer.
- Launch the Activity Monitor, enter windowserver in the search field, and double-click WindowServer.
- Select the Quit button in the new window that pops up.
- Select Force Quit to proceed.
macOS will automatically restart the WindowServer when you sign back into your account. Enter your password or sign in using Touch ID and check if force-quitting the WindowServer fixes the problem.
Update Your Mac
System updates resolve glitches preventing core system processes from working correctly. Click the Apple logo on the menu bar and check if there’s an update notification next to “System Preferences.”
Connect your Mac to an internet connection, select System Preferences on the Apple menu, select Software Update, and click the Update Now button.
Restart Your Mac
If there’s no update available for your Mac, or the error persists after installing the update, restarting your Mac should fix the problem. It’s essential to restart your Mac after installing a software update, especially if the macOS installer recommends doing so.
Close all active applications, click the Apple logo on the menu bar, and select Restart.
Scan Mac for Malware and Viruses
As mentioned earlier, this error could be due to malware or virus infection. If you have an antivirus tool on your Mac, perform a full system scan to check for potential virus infections. Also, check this compilation of the best macOS antivirus for some reliable options.
If this error keeps popping up after trying these recommendations, contact Apple Support or visit a nearby Genius Bar to get your Mac examined for hardware-related issues.
