I download an iPhone mockup PSD and it looks like this:
As you can see, there is a placeholder layer at the top that says "YOUR ART HERE". I'm not sure what to do though. The mask works: I can only draw on that layer within the boundaries of the mask. But when I try to paste my app's screenshot into that layer, a new layer is created. How can I paste into this layer with the mask? I have tried merging the pasted layer down, but that destroys the mask or the layer.

- Paste the image you want to use. It will become a new layer above the masked layer
Press CMD/CTRL+E (i.e. Merge down)
When the warning appears about the underlying layer having a layer mask, hit the Preserve button.
And here's the result

You don't paste, you place... in your case into your masked layer - in my case into a smart object - and you can always declare your masking layer a smart object too, BTW - which I find a good workflow myself.
Here you can see the layer structure of my mockup file
Double click on Smart Object, which opens the embedded file; I Place>Linked my UI file
Close the Embedded Smart Object file and zap - we're back in the mockup file and my new UI elements are showing as expected.
Hope that helps!
