Restarting fixes it but then it starts again right away. It is still an (infrequent) current problem as at 10.9.2."Īgreed! I am still having this problem. I have a suspicion that this stuck clipboard is a bug in OS X Mavericks 10.9 – I don’t recall it happening before I installed that. Once you’ve done that, OS X will kill the faulty PBoard process and re-establish it with a fresh one automatically. Click the “x” button at the top left of the window which represents ‘quit this process’ In the search results below, there should only be one result - a row listing the “pboard” process.
Type “pboard” into the search box at the top rightĥ. So, to fix a stuck clipboard (pasteboard) problem, you simply need to:Ĥ. Instead, the correct process to kill is PBoard.

Other websites incorrectly advise to kill the PBS process and restart it.Īpple’s manual page for PBS notes it is not related to the Pasteboard process. Searching for this issue online provides a lot of bad advice (one website I saw said “repair permissions and if that doesn’t work, reinstall the OS”… terrible advice.)
One solution to this is to reboot the Mac, but since Mac OS X is generally so stable and doesn’t need to be periodically rebooted as a matter of course, rebooting a machine with many open apps and windows can be a hassle. Instead, when you ‘paste’ in any app, the clipboard always pastes back the last thing you successfully copied. Something has been bugging me with OS X for a while - sometimes the OS X clipboard (officially known as “pasteboard”) gets stuck and won’t accept any new ‘copied’ content.
