Another keyboard Finder related question!

My keyboard stopped working in Finder last week. 
I see a number of other discussions were going about this but either thier problem was not the same as mine or the solutions given were not available to me, such as rebooting from a disc.

Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Another EDGE discount related question

    I am new to Verizon and got two phones under EDGE (moved from TMO). As soon as I moved, I started discovering confusions regarding the discount all over the Internet. Hence, I am hoping someone from Verizon would be kind enough to clear those confusions. Please help me here.
    - Once my EDGE contract expires, does the monthly discount expire? In my case, I am supposed to get $25/line discount.
    - If I pay out early, will I loose the discount? It doesn't make sense to lose it but I have read somewhere that this might happen.
    - If I switch to another device but keep making EDGE payments, will I lose the discount? Again, no clear answer anywhere.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for your response RushFan2112. I was told otherwise by a rep via chat: "The only way to keep getting discount is having an EDGE agreement".
    I moved to Verizon recently but having difficulty locating any sort of information of this kind. Does any Verizon employee actually know how the whole discount thing works? I know it is not reasonable to expect any answer from them in this forum. At least they can update their website with relevant information. It seems like they are trying to hide something. Even AT&T has more transparency regarding their NEXT program.
    Not happy at all.

  • Yet another rm-1500 related question

    Ive bought sound blaster 24bit external because i needed better sound quality on my laptop. And i was more than happy to get a remote to. But it appears that this little device has shortened my li've by 5 years Whole week i was trying to make it work. I have browsed google for hours. How to turn the device sleep (stand by) off!? Whenever it automaticaly goes to sleep mode, to use it again i have to sit for 2 min and press the buttons on remote rapidly til the thing starts to work. Mainly i've tried to control winamp, so i downloaded rmx, which is by no doubt good plugin. everything works fine except that frustrating stand by mode. Plz help.

  • "Find Related Items" in Entourage (like Outlook on PC)?

    Hi,
    I use Outlook on a Win XP machine at work and Entourage on my Mac at home. I cannot find anywhere in Entourage where there is a command that behaves the same as the "find related items" command does in Outlook. I use this extensively on my work computer because it automatically finds any messages in my inbox and sent items which belong to the same thread and allows me to quickly select all those
    messages and file them in another folder together.
    There is a "Find Related Items" command in my Edit menu in Entourage but it is always greyed out. From what I can read about it, it will only find "related" items which I have manually created links to. Not very helpful in my opinion. Is there a third party script or something which gives Entourage the same functionality as Outlook?

    If you don't get an answer here, there is a help
    newsgroup devoted to Entourage:
    I tried there first and have gotten no replies. I saw that others were asking Entourage questions in this forum so thought I'd give it a shot. Any solutions I get from either forum I will make sure to post to the other forum.

    I just got a call today that I reached my 300GB limit for the month.  I called and got a pretty rude response from the security and data usage department.  The guy told me in so many words that if I do not like or agree with the policy that I should feel free to find another service provider.!!! I tried to explain that we watch Netflix and XFinity on-demand alot and I was told that that can not be anywhere close to the data usage. I checked my router and watching a "super HD, dolby 5.1" TV show on Netflix will average about 5-6 GB per hour (1.6MB/s) ... sp this means that I can only watch no more than 1-2 Super HD TV shows a day via Netflix before I run out of my data usage.    This seems a bit redicilous doesn't it? Maybe the TV ads about the higher speed than the competition should be accompanied with "as long as you don't use it too often"   Not a good experience ... 

  • Another "get album artwork" question

    another "get album artwork" question
    I notice that when I click "get album artwork" it seems to go through the whole library and look for cover jpegs. (in my case, that's going to take a long time!)
    here's my question: it's looking for artwork, yes, but it's NOT going to do anyything to the many, many albums for which I have already (manually) added artwork, is it? If it does - I am in trouble! Please, somebody, reassure me that the artwork I have painstakingly added manually to zillions of albums is safe!

    Updade...
    So, as another test, I uninstalled iTunes, then checked the hard drive again.
    All the icons have now turned into Quicktime icons, which leads me to believe that when you look at your music in finder, it shows the icons related to your default music player.
    So, my next step is to find a new default player, and maybe my album covers will show up again.

  • Easier way to find unanswered questions?

    How about some features to make it easier to find unanswered questions in a forum?
    Like a button that says "show only unanswered questions"?
    Another option like "show unanswered questions with 0 replies"

    Some, but not enough.
    Sometimes a question is answered but the post-er never marks it as such. That's why I'd like a filter called "Open Questions with 0 replies"
    That's why I asked if it satisfied the first part of your request. I was aware it didn't satisfy the other details you mentioned.
    You aren't the first to ask for more sophisticated filters. I have as well. I think we'll probably eventually see some of these things. The Hosts are aware of all of these requests and continue to add them to the big list of features people would like to see. Of course, for some time now they have had to concentrate on forum stability before even beginning to add more features. But I they've said in the past that they have hopes to work on these details once everything else is under control.

  • How do I activate the "Find Related..." function by right clicking on a message?

    I was able to right click on a message and use the "Find Related...." function to find all messages within the same subject string so I can file all related messages to the folders accordingly. After I re-install my Outlook 2010, when I right
    click on a message, I can still see the "Find Related..." function, but it's shaded now (i.e. meaning that I cannot use it). How do I re-activate this function when I do the right click?

    Hello Fyma_Master,
    Most probably you have configured am IMAP account in Outlook. Am I right?
    Anyway, as a workaround you can try to open a message and then located the "related" control in the ribbon:
    I have found a similar forum thread
    Find Related Messages Option Grayed Out in Shortcut Menu (Outlook 2010) .
    Finally, I'd recommend asking such questions in the
    Outlook IT Pro Discussions forum instead. The current forum is for developers.

  • FRM-41100:  Cannot find relation %s.

    Hi dear friends,
    FRM-41100: Cannot find relation %s. I received this code when I get focus in the master block.
    The explanation:
    A few days ago I was working in a form that it will be joined to another (copy and paste every object in the form) so, when we want to join this objects surprise! in some cases the blocks was the same, so I decide to change the names to all my blocks. finally the form it's running but, when you get focus on the master record, forms send the message, then I push ok, and the detail records shows as nothing was happened.
    Some of you had this kind of experience or an idea about what happened with this relations
    Thanks for you time
    Jorge

    hy,
    there error when yo copy and past, try to: delete relation and re-create it from master to detail.
    Relation in Forms is very sensitive regarding joined master-detail

    Actually, we cannot (at least anymore) directly email the team. I tried and got a reject from the mail server.  So, I'm going to post here so I can feel better knowing I said something and then I can get back to programming :-)
    Ok, I’ve been developing Windows apps since Win 3.1 (yeah, a long time) and have always admired the Microsoft attitude towards Developers and it’s desire to educate and empower R&D.
    So, I’m wondering what’s going on?  Why am I being asked to have an account to develop anything for MY own PC?  Why am I being asked for my Microsoft account password, repeatedly, when I’m just looking up documentation on UserControl or C3 keywords…
    repeatedly?  This is nothing short of annoying and it gives me pause and concern about the ecosystem.  Is the plan to lock down programmer’s capabilities, knowledge and tools?
    I’m involved in the TAP program for Windows 10 and have voiced concerns in the same category with regard to installation and deployment of Universal Apps.  Security is not a reasonable excuse.  Some of us love to program and actually
    control their PCs.  We are not planning to sell everything we write on the Windows Store.  What happened to programming something cool for your home network or just for friends?  We need, and used to have, Microsoft’s support in doing
    this sort of thing.  Documentation and tools are more important now than ever.  I’m saddened to see the direction things are heading…
    If there is a sane reason I’m being badgered to ‘log in’ to read .NET documentation every hour, please share.  If not, please consider lobbying to get things back on track.
    Thanks

  • Flashing Finder Icon/ Question Mark on Boot

    Today I left my 1.33ghz G4 Mac Mini turned on whilst I went to the shop.
    When I came back i found it eith a flashing finder icon/ question mark.
    I restarted it and it booted up a grey screen, then after a while the flashing finder icon/question mark.
    I have tried putting in the OSX install disc and holding down the C key to start up using the CD and nothing happen, all I get is the same grey screen and flashing icon.
    I have also tried pressing the X key, and holding it down and restarting to get up the startup disk menu, but again nothing.
    Pressing 'option' key during start up only gets me a blue background with refresh button on the left and right arrow on the right - with no Boot Up CD or HDD Icon.
    I have also tried resetting the PRAM, it resets, but after it hasn't solved my problem, as i am back to square one with the boot screen and icon.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    big.bad.ben

    I would agree with DP that using a wired keyboard will give better results when holding down the C key. The timing of holding down the C key is tricky, and you might have to experiment with it.
    The question mark means that the Mini can't find a bootable disk. Usually this is because the internal hard drive has enough directory damage that it is not bootable. Usually this can be fixed by reformatting the internal drive or replacing it.
    But if you truly can't boot from the install CD, that suggests a more serious problem with the logic board or RAM memory.
    When you power-up the mini, do you get a series of beeps or light flashes? The pattern of such beeps/flashes is a diagnostic aid to determine what might be wrong. Report back with what pattern you observe.
    Be sure to give the install CD some more tries, varying the timing of holding down the C key. Usually you want to do it right after the startup chime.

  • Another Unlimited Data Upgrade Question

    (Yes, it's another one of those questions.  I'm sorry, but searching - on here, or on Google - only left me with conflicting information.)
    Here's my question:
    A friend of mine is interested in selling me his Galaxy Nexus phone.  Would I be able to keep my single-line, grandfathered, unlimited data plan if I buy his phone and switch to it, or is that only possible if I were to buy the phone new, directly from Verizon?
    Here's my story:
    I have an HTC Thunderbolt that I purchased when it launched.  A few months after buying it, it turned into the HTC Bad Dream, and now it's the HTC Nightmare.  Random heat issues, battery draining, random reboots... It's the same song and dance we've heard before.  These are design issues with the phone; not something a replacement or a repair would fix.
    The real annoyance, though, is the mobile hotspot.  I pay $30/month to use the hotspot legitimately, unlike the users who root their phones to use it without paying for the option, but ever since Verizon started blocking the third-party wireless tethering apps, I've had to choose between using the stock mobile hotspot app and unleashing the above-mentioned Phonemageddon, or simply going without.  I could drop the option from my plan, but seeing as the unlimited data plan no longer exists, I wouldn't be able to get it back without switching to a tiered or shared plan.
    Switching to a more stable phone would alleviate my issues, hopefully, but the difference between Verizon's retail prices and other retailers is hundreds of dollars.  Giving up my unlimited plan, however, wouldn't make the venture worth it.  A definite answer to the question of buying used - either from a Verizon representative, or a customer who's been in the same scenario before - would be very helpful.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    If you provide your own equipment (your friend's Nexus or from ebay etc) then YES you can keep unlimited data. Another wayto keep unlimited would be to pay full retail for a new phone. But I'm sure your friend will give you a better deal than that
    Hope that helps!
