THe home and end buttons

Just purchased a new iMac G5. For the longest time I was working on a keyboard
that had "HOME" and "END" buttons. Very useful for the timeline. Can anyone give me the answer to the keyboard shortcut for those operations on the more condensed keyboards. This answer, for some reason, has been very difficult to find in a google search.
Thanks,
D

Hi,
The home and end keys are the directional arrows on the right bottom of the keyboard and you use the function button (fn) with them. In other words fn home or fn End.

How can I use the "home" and "end" buttons

I have an external apple keyboard (full style, with number pad and all) plugged into my macbook. However, the "home" and "end" buttons don't function the way I'd like (i.e. they don't go to the beginning or end of a line).
Can I ever get this to work or does it just not function with a laptop that doesn't have that function in the first place. I'd like to not have to use multiple keystrokes just to get a similar home/end result.
Thanks!

"on your hub dont use the phone it will cost you more.when i change over to bt they never told me that i would be charged for useing this phone so i dont now.crafty bt again.when my contract is up i will be leaveing bt for ever,georgesaa."
Not sure why you are charged for calls on this, as standard you would get free evening and weekends and there are packages for unlimited anytime.

Where are the home and end buttons

so i'm new to mac and purchased a mac book pro and that's when it hit me, where are the Insert, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down keys? Where are the arrow keys. I'm not much of a track pad user and although I think it is awesome I like to keep my hands on the keyboard as much as possible.
Also, is it me or does the Delete key on a Mac move in the wrong direction (from right to left instead of left to right)?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The answer is the Fn key...
Held down in addition to the Left arrow is Home, with the Right arrow key is End, with the Up arrow key is PgUp, with the Down arrow key is PgDn, and with to the Delete key is Forward Delete.
You might find it helpful to enable the Keyboard Viewer in Hardware, Keyboard, Show Keyboard viewer in menu bar. On OS X 10.6 it displays a flag for your selected country. (Not sure about OS X Lion 10.7 though.) When enabled, click on the flag and select Show Keyboard Viewer. As you press Shift, Fn, Ctrl, Alt/Option, and Command you will see onscreen what keystrokes result, separately and in combination.

Home and End Buttons

Hello everyone. I'm a long time Windows user who recently decided to take the plunge and purchase an iMac. I'm figuring things out but one thing that's bothering me is the Home and End buttons on the keyboard. In Windows, pressing the Home or End button takes you to the beginning or end of the line of text that you're typing but in OS X, they take you to the beginning or end of the entire text. This is fine if that's the way it works, but it seems like there's got to be a way to get to the end of a single line of text without clicking there with the mouse or pressing the right arrow key a couple dozen times.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the fast replies! I see what you mean Barney. I was trying to do it in Mail and it doesn't work that way but you're right, in Microsoft Office it does work as I expected. In Windows it's pretty universal so I thought it would be the same in OS X as well. Oh well, it's something I'll get used to I guess.

'Home' and 'End' buttons don't work??

I am a new mac user...recently converted, so you guys might see my name coming up a lot in here...lol
So this 'home' and 'end' issue isn't just in Safari...it's on the iMac in general....even in TextEdit....
In Safari, for example, say I am typing a web address and I want to go back to the beginning by hitting the 'home' button (or even right now, I just made a typo, went back and fixed it and wanted to jump back to the end of the sentence using 'end'), but this doesn't work. Again, this is not just in Safari, but even in TextEdit...Please don't tell me iMac doesn't support the 'home' and 'end' functions...I will die! lol Okay, not die, but seriously, that will be a huge headache.
Thanks for any help!!!

Thanks for the and

Let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset (both buttons) and restore as necessary.

You need to connect to iTunes and restore.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
You may need to put the device into recovery mode, this is covered in the link on this page.
Did you back up the device?

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

Thank you for trying to help. I followed your instructions, it took 6 hours to download, and then said it could not solve the problem (something to do with error 9?). It will have to go back to Apple - its only 3 days since it came out of the package and its very disappointing for him. Looks like I have to hang around in the Apple store in Plymouth all tomorrow until they can fix it, or will change it. Thanks for your help.

I tried restoring my iPod, but it told me it was unsuccessful. Now it's stuck at the connect to iTunes screen. I've tried holding the home and lock buttons, just until the unit turns off, and until the unit restarts. What do i do?

My ipad has suddenly decided not to connect to the internet. My WiFi signal is strong. My PC is connected ok through the same WiFi signal. I have tried pressing the home and off buttons to get the apple logo but this makes no difference

My ipad2 has suddenly decided not to connect to the internet either through Safari or email. My WiFi signal is strong and all other devices in my house are connecting ok. I have tried pressing the home and off buttons together to get the Apple Logo but this has not changed anything, still cannot connect. "Safari cannot open the page because your ipad is not connected to the internet"

I have done this and no difference
I have just realised what has caused the problem.
Yesterday I fitted an additional Homeplug with built in wireless N adapter ( I alreday have another type fitted from my main router position) The wireless system to my ipad is obviously "confused" . Having now removed the second homeplug and reset my ipad all is now ok
