If this sounds familiar, there’s a specific fix buried in Apple’s own developer … Read more
You copy a link on your iPhone, walk over to your Mac, hit paste, and nothing happens. Handoff works fine for everything else, apps show up in your Dock, activities transfer smoothly, but copy and paste between devices just doesn’t.
