Booting holding the alt key

I try to boot my newly bought Mac Pro holding the alt key but I only get a blanc screen.
Holding shift or "c" or "d" is working, but it seems to freeze on holding the option-key.
I already tried to remove everything that is not "standard" (PCI eSata card, extra hdd).
Even did a clean reinstall of the OS but nothings helps.
Couldn't find much answers on the net.
Anybody a idea or suggestion?

What I did:
Booted from the original install dvd, started diskutility, checked al partitions (bootable and not).
No problem found.
Still with the install dvd in the optical I removed all hdd's and tried to boot with the alt-key. white screen.
I disconnected the optical drive and put one hdd with 2 partitions back in place. white screen.
Still with only 1 hdd I disconnected everything except the keyboard.
=> 2 bootable partitions found . . . whoohoo.
Connected 1 device at a time back untill I got again a white screen without bootable partition.
The ethernetconnection seems to be the guilty one.
RJ45 disconnected => correct startup with ALT-key
RJ45 connected => white screen.
I tried it several times so I'm sure about this.
The MP is connected to a small gigabitswitch from d-link.
Nothing special in the network.
A solution or reason for this would be nice, but now I know how to work around, so the 'urge' is gone now?

T420i Fn and ALT keys trigger sleep or shutdown

Hello,
I need help with my T420i, that started to become weird few weeks ago.
symptoms : it shuts down or enters sleep mode while working. First i thought it was somehow random, but then i've reliazed that it happened when i typed Fn or CTRL+ALT key combinations. It first happened while using ubuntu installed in dual boot, but it appears to behave the same under win7.
Diagnosis and repairs trials :
> with a linux live distrib : same behaviour
> using ultimate boot cd : memory check, hdd check, video memory check, with no issue
> formatted the disk and installed debian from zero : same behaviour once installed
> wiped the disk using UBCD (partmagic), and re-installed everything from the initial recovery dvds -> back to original win7 installation
> updated all the drivers and softwares, flashed the bios to new version.
> Tried with an external keyboard : no issue
> Unmounted the keyboard, checked the connector, and made tests with keyboard unmounted, in order to assess whether it could be due to a short-circuit between the keyboard cable and the mother board or the roll cage : no effect.
I suspect a hard problem with the keyboard itself, but is there any other tests i could have forgotten, remaining options to explore ?
If you believe it is actually the keyboard that needs to be replaced, how should i do to have my computer repaired, or to be sent a new keyboard, since it is still under warranty?
thanks for the ideas and suggestions !
Arnaud.

Well, sort of.
I found a setting on my LMS that plays in full screen mode, which solved the problem.

Catching Alt Key Press with the Key Down Filter Event

I am writing an application that requires specific key combinations using ctrl, shift, and alt in addition to a function key (F1, F2, F3, etc). The application works great except for when I try to catch an alt key press. The alt key press does not seem to fire an event eventhough it is an option in the PlatMods cluster as well as the VKey enum. When I press the alt key when my application is running the cursor changes to a normal mouse pointer from the usual finger pointer and prevents any other key presses from going through (in addition to not firing an event itself).
I have tried completely removing the run-time menu, which doesn't seem to help. I currently discard all keys after I handle them in my event structure.
I really hope that the only solution isn't using a Windows DLL. Any suggestions or ideas at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ames

Hi Ames
As Kileen has said Khalid has already given you a good solution to detect the ALT key.
I have another approach that might let you stick to your event-driven approach. I suggest that you have another loop in your app that polls the keyboard using the Input Device utility vi's. When this poll loop sees an ALT + KEY combo it raises a dynamic user event and will be processed in your event structure. This means you can keep your key down filter event to process the CTRL + KEY and SHIFT + KEY events.
Example attached in 7.1
cheers

Alt-Key Freezes Captivate

Hi there! I've just started using the trial for Adobe Captivate and I love the program...bar this one snag! Whenever I'm recording something (while working in Flash or Photoshop), pressing the Alt Key seems to freeze the screen up for a few seconds, which then returns back to normal.
This practically renders Captivate unusable (and is not helping at all with my decision to purchase it after my trail!). I've seen a few other people with this problem over the net, but there's not been a definitive answer. Anyone got any fixes/workarounds for this one?
Many thanks!

Hi there,
Can you please try to recreate the preferences of Captovate 6.
Close the Captivate first
Then goto C:\Users\[current user]\AppData (hidden folder)\Local\Adobe\Captivate 6.0
Rename Captivate 6.0 to Captivate 6.0old and then launch Captivate.
Launch the captivate again.
Check whehter this helps.
Thanks.

Problem with alt key in Photoshop CC2014

I'm running Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 Release under Win 7 on a dual monitor system 12 G ram, i7 processor, and a Radeon HD 6700 Graphics card. Everything was working fine until a few days ago. The first problem I noticed was in using ALT-left click to reduce zoom. CTRL-left click zoomed up OK but ALT-left click acted almost like I was pressing the F key to change the view. There are work-arounds for zooming so I continued working. Then I found I could not add a black mask to a layer by pressing ALT while clicking the add layer mask button on the layer panel. I also found that ALT didn't work right in ACR. For example in ACR holding down the ALT key changes the Cancel button to Reset, but clicking on Reset doesn't in fact reset any of the sliders.
I've closed and reopened Photoshop which helped for a short while but the problem came back. I opened Photoshop with the SHIFT-CTRL-ALT keys held down and accepted the resulting dialog box offer to delete preferences, which helped but again the problem returned. I've deleted and redownloaded Photoshop two or three times to no avail, and the last time I also checked that alt key combinations in both Bridge and Lightroom work OK at the same time they are not working in Photoshop. I haven't seen the Alt key misbehave in any application but Photoshop.
I would any suggestions any of you might have about what is wrong.

Just to clarify, are you referring to Alt Space bar left click and drag for zoom? If yes, then that needs 'Use GPU' enabled in Preferences > Performance. So can you check that? It actually works with either Ctrl or Alt together with the space bar. Left mouse click and drag left and right to zoom in and out.
If GPU is checked, can you try some different settings?

Problem with ALT key display

Hello,
I am having an aesthetic problem with my q10 that i just got today. I was entering some contacts into my phone when I realized that the ALT key is activated whenever I add phone numbers. When I first got the phone the ALT key did not light up whenever I put contact numbers on my phone. I restarted, and set the phone to the factory settings but this will still not disapear.
I am wondering if there is a way if I could the ALT key to not be showing while I put in contact numbers. It does not effect my phone, its just annoying to see something that didn't used to be there.
Thanks

Lasso tool problem, using alt key, no click within 5sec causes loss of active window focus

I have been using Photoshop since ver. 4 and have never seen this happen. The only difference is now I'm on Windows 7 64bit. Did not have this problem with XP. Current version CS3 Extended.
Problem: While using Lasso tool with the alt key if I do not make a mouse click in 5 seconds Photoshop's active window loses focus for a split second and then the first point of my selection and the last point will connect. Thus, wasting my time and my attempt at a selection.
I have task bar buttons to "Never combine". I see for that split second what appears to be another program button opening but it is so fast that I cannot see if there is a name on the task bar button. The current Photoshop button moves to the right and back too fast. This all happens very quickly as the window loses focus.
I first thought it was some another program but after many searches found nothing I can identify as the cause.
Right before posting this I had a thought and did a test that concluded in the 5 sec rule. For over a minute I held down the alt key and made a mouse click within the 5 second window of time and there was no loss of window focus. While still holding down the alt key in this same test but not making a mouse click within 5 seconds the window lost focus and the tool stopped with my selection.
I have a wireless Logitech M305 mouse that this morning updated the driver to its current version 5.20.51, Control Center version: 6.20.50.
I have not tested a wired mouse, yet.
Any help would be appreciated. Anyone else seen this? Windows 7 64 bit the culprit?????

UPDATE
After I removed Photoshop from Norton 360's Administrative Settings_Silent Mode Settings_User-Specified Programs, I did not have the problem with the lasso tool that I first had with loss of window focus. I then put Photoshop back in the 360's settings and the lasso tool still worked, BUT...............
After a couple of days of not using Photoshop and turning computer on and off in that time, I tried Photoshop again and the same problem, it came back. Loss of focus after 5 seconds of not clicking mouse. So, once again I open Norton and took Photoshop out of the User-Specified Programs and the problem went away, no loss of focus.
So, I will see if after a couple of days of turning on and off the computer and NOT putting Photoshop in the Norton's User-Specified Programs setting if the problem stays fixed.
I don't have to have Photoshop in the Norton's setting I just thought that it would be a good idea so Norton didn't try to do any background processes or whatever while I was working in Photoshop or I was rendering a filter or something.
Another thought I also have the Full Screen Detection setting ON. I do use Photoshop in Full Screen mode so maybe when having both the Full Screen mode and User-Specified Programs setting selected it makes something go wacky.
Hope this helps anyone having the same problem I "did". Will post back after a few days to let you know if focus problem is gone.
If it does relieve the problem then I will leave Photoshop off the list in Norton. No sense in trying to fix something that really doesn't matter, really.
UPDATE 2
January 8, 2011, I tried the lasso tool again and it still appears to be working. I did my standard test of holding the alt key and clicking to make selections then not click for 5 seconds or more and I did not lose window focus. I do not know why the Norton 360 setting triggers the loss of focus but since I turned that setting off I'm not having any problem.
Will update again if something changes.
Anyone else out there with the same problem that was solved using this method?

Captivate Alt-Key Freeze bug

I have read other posts on this question.
Problem:
When using Captivate 5.5 or Captivate 6 on Windows 7-64, and recording AI CS5.5, AI CS6, PS CS5.5, and PS CS6 I get a "freeze" whenever I hold the ALT-key. (Which is very often) It occurs under any video circumstance, FMR, Demo etc.
This happens on mutliple machines. I have a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet, but this happens regardless of whether it is plugged in or not/services are running. (I had thought maybe it was an issue with the Wacom)
I have seen that others have reported this, but does anyone have a workaround?
Jim

I am sorry for the delay in responding. Thank you for your response.
I work in both situations, where there is a network drive, and where there is not. The issue exists in either situation. I moved the cache to a different drive - still froze. I moved it to a different folder on C drive and it still froze.
The drive is 0% fragmented.
The drive has 45gb free space.
I removed Temp files and did a CCleaner to remove other temp files.
In FMR, the problem persisted.
The first time I used the recorder in Auto Mode, I was able to make a simple Alt-Drag copy of an object on the artboard. However, when I tried to move a second object, the pause/freeze happened again.
I just don't get it. A cheap screen recorder (Screen Recording Suite from Aipowersoft) works perfectly. It's editing tools don't work as well, but at least I can get a smooth screencast.
Thoughts? Is their a command line to create a debug log?

IMac mid 2010: disable LAN check while select bootmenu (ALT key)

Hallo Apple community,
I have the following iMac:
iMac mid 2010 21,5 inch, 8 GB RAM
and also installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
While trying to switch on boot the operating system (with ALT key) the boot menu appears after over 1 minute.
This is to long!
I unplug all USB devices except the cable keyboard.
That was not the problem.
After unplug the LAN cable it takes only 5 seconds to see the boot menu
How can I disable LAN checking on bootup? In Mac OS X the first boot device are Mac OS X. The second (network boot) cannot be disabled.

Problem with ALT key in X apps through ssh

Hello
I am using gnome-shell with no problems so far. I use a couple of programs in remote machines made with QT, like kwrite for example.
I connect to the remote machine using:
ssh -Y user@remotehost
In the ssh console everything works just fine, but when I start any remote QT application, I see that there's something wrong with the keyboard. The right ALT key doesn't seem to work.
I use Spanish from Spain in my computer and in the remote machines and I use the right ALT to access characteres like #, {}, []. €....
When I try to write € for example (the euro symbol is in the "e" key), I get an "e", not the euro, as if right alt does not work at all. The same happens with the others as far as I tried.
I also get a bunch of errors or warnings in the console when I open, for example kwrite, but I don' t think they have anything to do with the problem I'm trying to fix here. Just in case, this is what I get when I start kwrite en the remote machine:
X Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) 10

kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kconf_update.so
QPainter::setCompositionMode: PorterDuff modes not supported on device
I use konsole locally, so I installed it along with its dependencies of kdebase, but didn't change anything.
By the way, remote QT apps look awful, the buttons are like... VGA, and the fonts look sawed and sharp. (Locally, I have the Ubuntu's patched fonts and they look really good)
I don't know how to begin a diagnose of the problem, any help would be apreciated.
Thanks

Ok, I'll see what I can find about that.
And what about the ugliness of the fonts and qt controls ingeneral?
Thanks

haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

Hello
I have an emergecy question
Is there any problem running again "bdls" after being disconnected while running it (my network connecton to laptop got broken)
Thank you in advance

Hi,
Be sure that it does not continue to run. If it was really interrupted, yes, you must run it again. Otherwise you would have a lot of inconsistancies.

How fix problem of the Alt Key, when used with with the Clone stamp, generating an overlay image?

I am using CS5. When I try to use the Clone Stamp or Healing Brush Tools, pressing the Alt key generates an extraneous image which overlays the
the image which is being worked on prevents these tools from functioning by sliding at around when the ALT tool is pressed. Does any one elso have this odd problem? How can it be fixed?

. Yes this was the problem. As a novice, I would have spent hours and hours figuring this out. Many thanks.

There is something Definitely wrong with iOS 7 regarding DATA USAGE being logged to wireless carrier in for WIFI instead.
I read all the previous replies and same issue.
I rarely use my mac to sync....its all wifi sync for the last 2 years....never had this issue before... and i know it began with iOS7.... here is why....
My iPhone was at home when I updated to iOS7 connected to wifi...but it logged Data Usage to Rogers Wireless (700MB approx)...data will never do an update over 50mb in app store (it gives the warning to use wifi) I play a lot of games and pay for them so I always update through App Store. 2 weeks later, simposons halloween update (650mb)...at home, using wifi.
Rogers told me there was 700+mb data usage on the day of update and 650+mb data on oct 1.st (tapped out).
Went over my 6GB plan and paid the fees.
This has never happened before...It must come to apples attention by now...
