Frequently Asked Questions for Paste Queue
​
Q: I am running Paste Queue 1.6.0 or later. It has stopped pasting. How to fix it?
The app's paste function has been disabled. (At the first time when you attempted to paste from Paste Queue, the OS asked you whether you'd like to allow the app to control your computer. If you denied it, then the OS would disable the app's paste function.) To re-enable it, please do the following:
  1. On macOS 13 (Ventura) or later, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility. On older macOS, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab > Accessibility.
  2. Paste Queue should be listed there. If not, add it to the list.
  3. Enable Paste Queue in the list.
If the paste function works now, you're done! But if it still fails, do these extra steps:
  • Remove Paste Queue from the list.
  • Add Paste Queue back to the list, and enable it again.
​​If the paste function works now, you're done! But if not, continue with the following:

    tccutil reset All HC.Paste-Queue
    • Upon success, you'll see this message "successfully reset All approval status for HC.Paste-Queue".
  • Relaunch Paste Queue.
