| I'm also having this problem. I can't copy anything to the clipboard and can't drag anything related to the OS or application controls. This started happening after I installed the keyboard firmware update a few days ago, but I can't figure out how to fix the problem. Anyone?  |

 Erase and install I know this is going to sound extreme, but I had to do an erase and install to get that problem to go away. After doing an archive and install, the problem would come back |

| I found other forums that have postings about this and it looks like for some reason, the SECURITYSESSIONID environment variable is being set for the Finder's environment. If this is set, it disables copy/paste and drag/drop functionality. Not sure why, but that's what I've gathered. It is set the environment.plist file, but I don't have one. When I open a terminal window and type 'env' I get a list of variables, and sure enough, that one exists. So, out of curiosity, when you view your environment variables in the terminal, do you have that variable set? Also, do you have this file: ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist ? If you do, is there anything about that variable in the file? Thanks. |

| No I did not have that file. This is the info from typing env in terminal: MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11/man TERM_PROGRAM=Apple_Terminal TERM=xterm-color SHELL=/bin/bash TMPDIR=/var/folders/PS/PSZf4JMYG3STik+Ea2IQd++++TY/-Tmp-/ Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render=/tmp/launch-CJDuqd/Render TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=240 OLDPWD=/Users/cnassaney USER=cnassaney COMMAND_MODE=unix2003 SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/launch-lSXEly/Listeners __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F9:0:0 PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin PWD=/Users/cnassaney LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHLVL=1 HOME=/Users/cnassaney LOGNAME=cnassaney DISPLAY=/tmp/launch-XH2prv/:0 SECURITYSESSIONID=9a49b0 _=/usr/bin/env |
