Hi Robert and others, Robert’s suggestion to turn off Screen Curtin and then try hand off worked for me! So for now hand off problem solved. Now that is some strange bug. Thanks Robert and everyone for sticking with me through this problem solving adventure. I actually find this feature a

Hi, A while back, I discovered that this feature doesn’t work reliably for me if I have screen curtain turned on on the phone. Robert Carter > On Mar 26, 2020, at 4:04 PM, Brad Snyder wrote: > > Sometimes, when the universal clipboard doesn’t perform as it should, I go > back to the

Sometimes, when the universal clipboard doesn’t perform as it should, I go back to the source and re-highlight and do the copy action again. Usually things work as expected the second time. - Brad - On Mar 26, 2020, at 15:37, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries wrote: Hi, When it comes to

Hi, When it comes to the universal clipboard, there are some considerations. I don't know the specific time restriction, but there is one and I believe that it is less than 30 seconds, may even be 10 or 15. So, It is best to have the iPhone open and ready after copying the text from the Mac.

Hi Brad and others, I’m glad I’m not the only one experienced hand off not working. I was starting to think I was alone with this. I have restarted iPhone and Mac, turned off Hand off and turned on again on both devices. I’ve tried selecting on the Mac and pasting on the iPhone in an edit

I experience that same issue sometimes on my Mac mini that is still running High Sierra. I have learned to cycle VO off and then back on again. This usually fixes most gremlins. - Brad - On Mar 25, 2020, at 15:29, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries wrote: Hi, sometimes, a boring old

Hehehe, similar thought to mine, and I was still typing as you sent. Things sound very strange out of my window now as NZ is in total lock down and there is no traffic noise. > On 26/03/2020, at 08:26, John Panarese wrote: > >I’ve been having issues with the Universal Clipboard as well.

I know simple things that have worked for me when something should work but doesn’t, is to turn it off and back on again. So disable handoff on both devices and restart them and then enable handoff again. You probably don’t need to restart the devices but it doesn’t do any harm. This may not

Hi, sometimes, a boring old restart does the trick. When I updated to 10.15.4 on my MBP, the Extras Menus weren't working. Every time I did a VO-m-m, the first one went to the main Menubar, and the second went to my Desktop. I turned VO off and on, quit apps, all with no joy. I logged out

I’ve been having issues with the Universal Clipboard as well. It had worked like a charm in the past, but it has been really inconsistent over the last few versions of iOS 13. I have all my settings as they should be, but I honestly haven’t had the chance to really investigate and

Hi Tim, I double checked hand off and both are turned on. Mac and iPhone. I have a funny feeling I’m doing something silly like not pasting correctly or not looking for the correct rotor setting. I was copying from Pages on the Mac and trying to paste the content as a Facebook post

Hi, You need more than just Bluetooth enabled. You need Hand-off turned on for both, Bluetooth on, and both on the same WiFi network of course. Hand-off is in the General pane of System Prefs on the Mac. It's also in General of the Settings app on iOS/iPadOS. Later... Tim Kilburn Jamf

Hi listers, Today, for the first time since upgrading I tried to copy text into my Mac clipboard and paste with my iPhone. I’ve done this a few times in the past and found it helpful. I have bluetooth on both Mac and iPhone turned on. I copy the text on the Mac. When I enter
