  • Mac OS X: my arrow keys don't work in swf

    games, mostly.
    I using 10.4.10, Safari 3.0.3, Flash 9,0,64,0
    What can I do to diagnose/fix this issue?

    that is correct, they do not (I use Office '11).  See if this helps: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/mac-word-help/word-keyboard-shortcuts-HA102929 541.aspx

  • Tabulation and arrow keys don�t work through ssh

    Hi!
    I just got a solaris 10 on a v240. But I loggin through SSH, tabulation key and arroy keys don� t work. It � s quite nasty because I cannot just repeat a command for example, I�ve to type it allover again. I� m quite surprised because I have an old solaris where it does work without problem. Should I change something in the configuration?
    Thanks

    Is your shell one that you want?
    csh and sh don't support autocompletion or arrow histories. you'd need tcsh or bash or something.

  • Left and right arrow keys don't work

    My right and left arrow keys do not work, up and down arrows work fine.  I did not spill anything on or near my keyboard.  I don't recall adding any apps/software.  It is a late 2008 MacBook Pro running OS X10.9.1.  I am at a loss.  Please help.
    Thanks,
    David

    Call 1-800-SOS-APPL. If it needs hardware repair, they will send you a box to ship it in for service. Turnaround time is usually just a few days.
    You might try an Archive and Install first to eliminate a software issue. Apple will have you do that anyway.

  • Aluminum Keyboard Arrow Keys don't work in Excel?

    My new Power Mac G5 came with a USB aluminum keyboard. The arrow keys no longer work with Excel as they used to (they move the window rather than the selection). Is there a fix for this?

    Kenichi - THANK YOU. AND your memory is right on. I tried to search for Scroll Lock in Excel help and got nothing so tried your solution and it worked.

  • Satellite M40X: After Bios update keyboard keys don't work properly

    I have a Satellite M40X and I had update the Bios to v. 1.60 and now the keys u, m, 7 and the arrow up are not working properly. The problem is that there is not other Bios version to use.
    How can I resolve my problem?
    Can I recover the old bios version?
    Thanks
    Gabriel

    Hi there,
    no you wont be able to recover the old BIOS. The only two options are:
    1. Retry the BIOS update and check if its working
    2. In case of no success, please visit the [ASP Locator|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT] to search for the nearest ASP in your country and to ask them for a hardware checkup and repair.

  • Macbook keyboard left/right arrow keys don't work

    Hello everyone,
    First time here and first time to touch a Macbook - I'm in IT but on the other side of the fence.
    My partner's laptop is a Core2-Duo @ 2GHz which I've stuck 4GB of RAM and a newer SATA HDD into, I've also updated the firmware just in case it was needed to see the 4GB and also I seem to recall bootcamp wanting it.
    A while back I was asked to put Vista-64 on it, I've done that and like most people mucked around with bootcamp drivers and got nearly everything working.
    I noticed that some keys and the 'right click' ability wasn't working so I installed the Keyboard Input Remapper - this seems to only be for MacBook Pro however it did get me a right-click button so I didn't argue with that.
    I'm not sure if it's because I've upgraded the firmware or not but Windows detects the keyboard as a MacBook Pro - and after I install the keyboard remapper it comes up as a more generic keyboard device "HID Compliant Keyboard" I think it is.
    In particular the left and right directional arrow keys simply don't work, I can't even re-map them with a third party utility like Sharpkeys because it can't detect any input from them.
    Doesn't seem to matter if I use the "Macbook Pro" keyboard or the "HID Compliant" keyboard with or without the input remapper - no combination I've found can seem to make it work and I can't find a non "Pro" keyboard driver.
    I've spent many hours trying to figure this out and reading posts all over the web, the keys work under Mac OS 10.5.4.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Is there a reason the arrow keys don't work with ipad dock

    Is there a reason that the arrow keys appear not to work with the ipad dock? I can understand if the citrix app needs an update (would be great to use with excel) but it also doesn't work with numbers the mac app. Is there a reason they are on the keyboard if they are not for use? Safari they don't do scrolling but really wanted it for use with spreadsheets. Can anyone tell me if I just need to switch on something in settings?

    Hello there,
    Not as such it is the iPad dock. It would be very handy for spread sheets.
    Cheers

  • Arrow keys don't work

    the arrow keys on my macbook air don't work properly, but only for one account.  (they're fine on the other account.)  they seem to operate as tab keys rather than regular arrow keys: so eg i cannot step through text one character at a time, although i can use option-arrow to step word by word, and command-arrow to go to beginning/end of lines.  obviously there is some user-specific problem, perhaps some app has reset these, but i can't figure out which of the preferences i need to reset.  i've looked at all the usual preference panes (keyboard, trackpad, etc) but there is nothing obvious i can see.  does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    When individual keys stop working, it's usually a defective keyboard. Because yours got wet, I would replace it.

  • IOS 7.0.2 - Bluetooth keyb up/down arrow keys don't work on some applications

    I have a logitech ultrathin keyboard that I've been using extensively for text editing with my ipad. Since the upgrade to iOS 7 (and I now have 7.0.2), navigation keys up/down don't work on some applications.
    Eg: Works on - notes / gmail
    Doesn't work on: - messages / writing kit
    This severely impacts the usability of the ipad as a writing instrument.
    Tips?

    It appears to have been a late-breaking change affecting lots of apps with text views, but not Apple's Notes. If it is the same problem, it happens with the standard keyboard also. I found comments on Apple's developer forums whilst debugging my own app.

  • Arrow keys don't work for fine audio adjustments

    I've looked high and low for an answer to this. I've noticed that others have posted with this problem. I followed the directions in those posts and still can't do it. It seems like such a simple thing. I want to fine tune the placement of an audio clip by nudging it. Your supposed to be able to do so by clicking on the clip and then use the left/right arrow keys to make the adjustment. But, the only thing that moves is the playhead. I've tried everything.
    BTW, I'm using a Powerbook 1.33 G4. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    jlweber,
    I think you can achieve the result you want by using the "Snap to items in Timeline".
    You'll find the check box here: iMovie>Preferences>General.
    The arrows keys will still move the playhead, but you can then drag the audio and it will snap to the playhead location.

  • Arrow keys don't work, its a hardware issue, I've troubleshooting.

    i don't remember spilling anything on it. it just stopped working. So i have apple care too, and sometimes one of the buttons just starts randomly going off.

    Does the built in keyboard work fine? If so I'd venture to guess that it's not software related. But just for the heck ofit try resetting the SMC and pram.
    To reset the SMC
    Laptops with a battery you can remove 
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Have new update but when i am on trying to sync I have no scroll down bar to select option on the bottom of pages so sync is not done with all i want on it.  Using my arrow keys also dont work.  I have deleted itunes

    Have new update but when i am on trying to sync I have no scroll down bar to select option on the bottom of pages so sync is not done with all i want on it.  Using my arrow keys also dont work.  I have deleted itunes and reinstall but its still the same.  Any ideas?

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

    Hi Jim,
    You're welcome
    Is the version of Windows 7 Ultimate you have installed 32bit or 64bit?
    Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers - do you see an existing entry for the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC listed here?
    There is an alternative IDT Audio driver you may wish to try on the following link.

  • After installing "Java for OS X 2013-004" update, Java apps don't work anymore as expected

    After installing "Java for OS X 2013-004" update, Java apps don't work anymore as expected.
    Windows of Swing apps don't display all GUI elements.
    After replacing System/Library/Java from a Time MAchine Backup, everything works normal again.
    Is this update corrupted?

    "avoid using Java in a web browser at all,..."
    Good advice.
    "...old Java apps/applets that aren't written to modern specs ..."
    The stand-alone Java Swing applications, that don't display their GUI elements after installing this update, have been written according to modern standards. With Oracle Java7, and with Java6 from Apple prior to this update, they run absolutely flawlessly.
    This is absolutely Apple's fault.
