Teamviewer hangs with "Pasting from ..." Message on host

DHK1 · July 2017

I'm using Teamviewer 12.0.78517 on two OS X 10.12.5 machines. Periodically my host machine will have a notification "Pasting from " followed by the client computer name. This brings up the dreaded OS X "beachball" and both systems hang for a minute or two. What is this? How do I fix it? Thanks

It's been 2 months since this problem was reported and 5 others have the same problem, including myself.

Any updates or suggestions???

I've not found out anything new. I'm on a Mac, so I've switched to an Apple solution of "Back to My Mac" which covers 99% of my needs.

I think I've solved it.

If you go into Teamviewer settings, Advanced tab: Uncheck "Clipboard synchronization"

After I did that I didn't have this problem anymore.

Seems like this is a bug, but at least disabling Clipboard synchronization is a workaround.

I have the same problem. Where do you see the "clipboard synchronization" setting? There is nothing like this under the advanced tab. (Version 13)

Thanks Man!

It solved the problem for me.

- Right click the team viewer icon on the top bar and click on "Preferences"

- Go to the "Advanced" Tab (next to the "invitation" tab)

- Search for the "Clipboard Synchronization" in the box with the title "Advanced settings for connections to other computers". In this box you should also find "Access Control", "Timing out inactive session", "start remote control automatically... ", "Temporarily save connection passwords", and right after that the "Clipboard synchronization" option.

@Haim What version do you have? I'm running macOS and Teamversion version 13.0.6447 and there is no Clipboard reference in the advanced preference pane.

I'm using:

Controling Computer: TeamViewer:12.0.90924, MacOS 10.13.3

Controlled Computer: TeamViewer 12.0.92876, MacOS 10.13.3

@Haim You're on version 12, I've upgraded to 13... that must be the difference.

Haim · February 2018

Probably so @DHK1

But since we have the same problem there's a good chance that they just moved the location of the "clipboard synchronization" option, I recommand you would go over all the advanced tabs and search for it (or maybe the description of this option was changed?).

Would be very helpful to get some help from @support on this.

You just need to scroll down on the Advanced window. It is easy to miss, but there is a scroll bar on the right, and more options further down the page. Took me a few seconds also to figure that out.
