How can I assign a function key on my IMAC's wired keyboard to enter my email address in documents or on internet forms?

I'm trying to set up my wired IMAC keyboard to create shortcuts to enter my email adresses into emails or into web forms. I was able to do this when I was working with PCs but can't find direction on the process for the MAC. There seems to be 7 unused Function Keys at the top of the keyboard that are srrving no apparent purpose so logic tells me they must be available for sutomization.
Please help. My fingers are tired...

I don't think you can with the standard Mac OS X tools / sys prefs..
You have to step into the realm of 3rd party key mapper tools.
I'm reluctant to go there..
I'm happy being able to remap option to be my command key
using the standard System Preferences ->Keyboard..
but.. googling a bit shows some 3rd party tools..

Hi. How can I delete my icloud account on my iPhone? I don't have that email address I was using anymore. I tried deleting it but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

Hi ale.vica,
You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
1.     Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
2.     Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
3.     Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
That should take care of your issue!
Cheers,
GB

How can I assign a function to the on/off button on my imac?

The on/off button on my imac used to turn the computer off. After a re-install, now the button just turns the computer to sleep mode. I don't remember how I had reassigned the function to the on/off-button on my imac. Any solutions? Thank you very much!

I have two cell phone, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can i merge them so apps on one show on the other but keep their emails addresses separate on their own phone?

Have two cell phones, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can I merge them so apps purchased on one phone show on the other. But.as each has their own email address, I want to keep these email addresses separate on their own phone? Thanks.

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

You need to either authorize it from that Apple ID or delete those songs and buy them from your current one.

How can i log out of my old iCloud account when i don't remember the email address and ID password?

Hello hblack123
If you have a rescue email address setup, then you should be able to send an email to reset the password or the security questions. If that is not available, then you would need to contact iTunes Store support. Check out the article below for more information.

I have ended up with 2 apple ID's and want to cancel 1 of them and merge everything together. How can I do this?. Ive tried changing my sign in to the same email address but it wont accept it.

When I signed on at Christmas an update was available on my ipod classic. When I updated it...... it then crashed and when I took it to the store they dismissed it and said its a driver/hardware problem (which it didnt have before I updated it to the latest version) anyway its now dead.
I also have a nano that was purchased as a present for me and I want to add the nano to the same account but it wont let me as it was originally set up in a different account. I have tried to cancel/delete that account but it still wont let me add the new nano to the original account. Can anyone help wih this please?.

How can I assign a period (instead of B) in Keynote for blank screen so I can use a Logitech R800 presenter? An option in next version?

I have recently bought a Logitech R800 presenter which works very well with Keynote on a MacBook Pro. The start/stop presentation key does not work but that can be easily fixed by assigning F5 to "Start presentation" for Keynote in the keyboard system preferences. The remaining issue is that the blank screen button sends a period (".") which works as a prompt for a blank screen in PowerPoint, but in Keynote it causes the slideshow to end. Keynote uses the letter "B" for blank screen.
How can I assign a period (instead of B) in Keynote for blank screen? Some sort of work around would be very useful as I often use blank screen in my presentations and much prefer Keynote to PowerPoint.
Perhaps it will be an option in next version of Keynote?
Thanks

As far as I know you can not change these keystrokes without changing the Program files. I am sure it is possible there, but I have no idea where to even start to tell you where to find it.
Your best bet it to go to the Keynote Menu>Provide Keynote Feedback and let Apple know you would like the option to change them.
