Mavericks won't let me use key repeat
You know, where you type "o" then hold it down for "oooooooooooooo." Mavericks won't let me have that usibility in any program - mail, docs, internet. Can't figure out how to turn this function back on.
I also lost the functionlity of swiping up with three fingers to go to the top of a page. Crap, that was pretty handy.
Can anyone help me get these functionalities back?
Thanks,
Patricia
See pet3r's comment in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3190706
If you want to force the key-repeat, and disable the "Press and Hold" for additional characters, here is the terminal command:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
Log out and back in and key repeat should work for all keys. Checked in TextEdit, Safari, Pages, and Numbers.
you can enable in specific apps using
defaults write app plist ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true
where app plist is something like com.apple.textedit.
Can't help with the finger-waving nonsense, since I only use a wired mouse w/o those capabilities.

Maverick won't let me use my Canon scanner anymore
After installing Maverick on my iMac my Canon scanner software will not work. I cannot add a scanner to my printer preferences or find an app that works. It seems a lot of items no longer work for ome reason.
I have a Canoscan 8800F. The version of Navigator EX 1.0 I have been using very successfully up to now just crashes as soon as I open it. I have tried downloading a new driver from the Canon website but it does not seem to go anywhere. If I try to use Image Capture it just opens up with no printers or scanner selected and no means to add them, just a blank page.

My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. There's just a thing that pops up and says that in order to activate banners and push notifications I have to connect the app with iTunes. The thing won't go away no matter how many times I push ok, and it doesn't give me another option. Solutions?
Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck! -
I'm trying to migrate my music and pictures over to my new iMac. When I use the migration assistant it connects to my PC fine but it won't let me use the account name and username that I have created as the admin. It requires me to create a new user account - so then I have two separate accounts to log in to which i don't want. How do I get it to let me use the current account that I have to move my files to?
Thanks!Migration Assistant creates a new account and migrates all the information you have requested to that new account. There is no way around that. However once migrated you can move the data to the account you want to. Here are some instructions for doing so:

I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 last night but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" As well as that, it won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime it will only let me use my apple ID which I don't want to do.
Thank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..

I just updated my iPad to the new ios and now it won't let me use iCloud. I have been in my settings and it says I need to agree to the new t&c's but when I click to do it my device freezes. Any Idea what I can do as I can't download new app either
Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch. -

I just got my iPad and the iMessage was working and than all of a sudden it stopped and when I tired to log back in, it said I had a bad connection which I didn't. So it won't let me use my iMessage
Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -

I have iwork on two computers, but my account doesn't show record of it for my being able to reinstall on the new computer. Is there a time limit? I tried airdrop, but it won't let me use it.
Sounds like you installed iWork from before there was the Mac App Store.
If you installed it from a Family DVD you are entitled to install that on 5 computers and can do that from the DVD.
If not then you need to purchase it from the M.A.S. and will be able to install it on any of your computers using the same Apple I.D. However Apple is promising a new version before Christmas so it may not be a good time to buy now.

Firefox won't let me use any of the links-I can't add new links by clicking on the + box. I can't delete or add links. I can't even open one of the links at the top of this page
I'm not sure what you mean by "the + box". Is that a feature on one of your toolbars?

Numbers won't let me use subscripts. Why not?
Numbers won't let me use any of the Baseline commands (Superscript, Subscript, Raise, Lower). No matter what I try, these options are always grayed out, keyboard shortcuts not responding. It's like they've been disabled. What is going on?
I'm using Mac OS X v10.6.7, Numbers '09 v2.0.5. I got this MacBook Pro around 7 August 2010.ethereality wrote:
Microsoft Excel, you highlight the text in the edit line, and of course it doesn't show the after-effect in the edit line -- what I thought you meant. I thought you were saying that it simply wouldn't appear as subscripted in the edit line, analogous to Excel. I didn't realize you were saying the text actually had to be highlighted in the cell, instead of in the edit line. To not provide for both functions seems very shortsighted software design, especially when obviously competing with Microsoft Excel...
The Excel behavior isn't relevant here.
Numbers isn't trying to compete against Excel.
It's targetting "normal beeings", not "professional numbers crunchers"
Its what is described in :
++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++
Apple Human Interface Guidelines:
Apply the 80 Percent Solution
During the design process, if you discover problems with your product design, you might consider applying the 80 percent solution‚ that is, designing your software to meet the needs of at least 80 percent of your users. This type of design typically favors simpler, more elegant approaches to problems.
If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users. Even though that smaller group of power users is likely to have good ideas for features, the majority of your user base may not think in the same way. Involving a broad range of users in your design process can help you find the 80 percent solution.
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
In NumbersLand, every kind of style apply to text.
What is in the edit line is not a text object. Its status is undefined.
It may become a date, a currency amount, a formula, a piece of text…
I never read questions from someone trying to apply Bold in the edit line.
Often what is foolish is not the used application but the interface between the computer's keyboard and the chair sitting in front of it
As far as I know, the value of the Apple quote prove that the way Apple design its products isn't really shortsighted.

Windows Movie Maker won't let me use QT clips
I recorded some clips for a movie, but Windows Movie Maker won't let me use them! Is there any way to convert my Quick Time clips into clips for Windows Media player? Any Help is appreciated!
Windows Windows XPWindows Movie Maker does not import MOV files as you surmised. Third party software is necessary to convert it for importation to WMM.
One such software(free) that works is: 'RAD Video Tools' from 'Bink and Smacker':
www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm
The RAD Video Tools software will allow you to convert MOV files to AVI files, which will import into WMM
A FAQ page on converting files w/the RAD s/w is here:
www.radgametools.com/binkhcon.htm
It may look intimidating at first but all you really need to do is:
1) Browse to your MOV file, select it, then click 'convert a file' at bottom menu.
2) Then in the new window that pops up, make sure the output file type is .AVI(the default output file type should be AVI), then click on 'convert' at right menu.
3) Import the newly created AVI file into WMM
Hope this is helpful,

The following section is particularly important -
You can change your Apple ID to any address, except an address used by another Apple ID. You can change the address of any Apple ID, except an Apple ID that ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
