Apple, why did you change my Keyboard and remove the enter key?

Hi all,
I had my new black MacBook delivered just before Christmas. The keyboard has changed from my previous Black MacBook (the one a colleague poured wine over and killed... grrr).
Apple have changed the look of the command key and removed the Apple logo (very sad), but more frustratingly have replaced the 'enter' key with another 'option' key.
I found the 'enter' key really useful, especially for pull down menu and really miss having one.
Does anyone know if there is a way to assign the new 'option' key to be an 'enter' key?
Cheers
Scott.

I just received a new(refub) MacBook 2.2GHz today and was very disappointed to find the enter key missing. After selling my G4 PowerBook six months ago, I was so looking forward to having the convenience of being able to slap the enter key for dialog boxes with and submitting forms without having to move my hand from the trackpad. I hope that someone will come up with a way to replace the functionality of the missing enter key.
Which brings me to my next point- There has been a big oversight in the implementation of the MacBook's replacement of the Enter Key, which is to use the FN+Return keys. It seems that when using the FN key with the Return key, the system will ignore the Command key being invoked. I discovered this very quickly. Anyone who uses Apple Remote Desktop knows that in order to send a Unix command to a remote machine, you type the command in the 'send UNIX command' window, then hit Command+Enter to send the command. Return produces a carriage return, FN+Return does nothing, and FNCommandReturn does nothing. The only current work around is to use the track pad to the "Send" button and click, which really slows things down.

Can you change iMessage to not use the enter key to send a message on a macbook pro?

I'm using a mac with OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1 and I'm wondering if you can somehow change the settings of iMessage so that when you press the enter key it doesn't send the message. Thanks if you can help.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Why did you change the event calendar?

I updated my phone and now I can only have one alert on my calendar for an event. I was putting in an event and having an alert one day before and then one hour before. Why did you change it?

Just FYI, "we" didn't change anything. You're not communicating with Apple when you post here, and you will not get a response from them. We're all just fellow users.

Apple why did you take the Sites folder with my website in it? Nobody helps!

Since upgrading to Mavericks I lost my local website folder that used to be in the Sites folder!
Error: Can't connect, check your info! Oh Apple why did you take it? "H E L P P L E A S E!"

Thank you Barney-15E
I have no clue why this is or why I am getting this error in Mavericks. All I have is a local website folder in the Sites folder using Dreamweaver CS4 to update my files, working perfect on my other drive running 10.6.8 . Why I cant update and get the error above is the reason I am posting here. (and several other spots)
You said:
"First off, FTP is disabled in Mavericks, which is why you likely cannot FTP into your local Mac--why are you ftp'ing to the Mac you are working on?"
You said:
"Your Sites folder is in your Home folder. However, if you created it somewhere else, you'll have to figure that out."
When I say my Sites folder is not in my Home folder you can bank on it. No I never changed any folders in there.

Why did you change the way a current program is recorded?

Why did you change the way a current program is recorded? Now I can only record a show from the time I press record not from the beginning. So if I turn on the TV and a show has already started, I can no longer record it from the beginning as I did in the past. As much money as I pay shouldn't I have the option to choose?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
That is determined by what type of disk that it is. It may be a disk that only allows you to install Windows on your Dell computer and would not allow Windows to be installed on a Boot Camp partitition or as a virtual machine in an app such as VirtualBox on your Mac. If that is the case, you would need to purchase a retail Windows install disk.

How can I remove the "enter" key from the keyboard? (New Macbook)

I have the last white macbook, I spilled beer in a couple of keys, I managed to removed them without problems, but I can't find the way to remove the Enter Key, and there is no help on internet Anyone?

What characters are you talking about exactly and why would you want to remove any?
There is really no way to modify Apple's keyboards or add your own in iOS, but there are some apps that may provide a work around.

Swiftkey keyboard, where is the "Enter" key???

Simple question...added Swiftkey keyboard in iOS 8 to my iPad, and it gave me a "send" key where there should be an "enter" key. How in the world do I get the "enter" key on my keyboard instead of the "send" key? I can't find that setting anywhere. The keyboard that they show when you pick a theme has an "enter" key, but mine has a "send" key. Useless.
This is driving me crazy, any hits for the hintless?
Thanks.

I see now that it's context dependent. However, when entering text for a search string in the browser, Swiftkey shows a "Send" key instead of "Enter/Return". When I have an Enter/Return key there, I can just press it and the browser starts my desired search immediately. With the "Send" key, I press it and nothing happens other than a space character appearing immediately after the search string! If I press it twice, the browser will finally start my search.
This is just the wrong context for Swiftkey to have a "Send" key in place of the "Enter/Return" key. In fact, I'd rather have it be an "Enter/Return" key all the time, that has always worked for me in all contexts. So I'm about ready to throw Swiftkey out of the boat, although I've happily used Swiftkey on Android for a couple of years...On Android Swiftkey, the "Enter/Return" key never changes to a "Send" key, so I think that this is just broken on iOS 8. I really don't like it when keys on a keyboard change depending on context, anyways, that just a badly designed user interface.
If they don't fix it soon I'll be dumping Swiftkey until they do fix it. I really did like Swiftkey on Android, but on the iPad not so much. Maybe I can find another keyboard, other than the Apple keyboard, that works well on the iPad. Bums me out, I was looking forward to being able to use Swiftkey on iOS 8 like I could on Android.

I removed the ENTER key and can't get it back on

Hi,
Approximately 2 months ago i removed a few keys off my Macbook Pro to clean them. I managed to replace all of them except for the ENTER key.
Underneath the casing there are 2 plastic bases which scissor. These bases attach via hooks on the main keyboard. I managed to get one back on but i can't get the other base back on. The enter key itself still works but without the housing on top.
Went i went to the genius bar i was told because t was out of warranty they would charge me or if i went back to the retailer (Tesco) they would fix it within the 6 year european consumer law. The genius said that he could see it had not been mistreated and it shouldn't be a problem. When i consequently called Tesco they told me they wouldn't as it was user damage and that i should go back to Apple because when Tesco arrange repairs they get Apple to do them anyway.
Im a little tired of heading backward and forward between the two companies and no one is helping. I just want my key back on.
I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro. i5 Processor, 4GB Ram, 500GB HDD.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F). 
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. 
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

Apple, why did you delete multi touch gestures for iPad in iOS5?

I have to say that this is a bit of a kick in the teeth. We spend all this money on Apple products, expecting software updates to add the he functionality of these devises - not to have really cool functions taken away... Why would you take this away? If it is a performance issue at least give people the option to turn it on or off.
Bring it back please in 5.0.1... Oh and fix all the bugs that had me deleting apple apps like 'find my phone' and reinstalling them from the app store...

Apple never included multitouch gestures in a consumer release of iOS before 5. You had to use developer tools to get them. So, from their standpoint, they never gave it to you in the first place. But, at any rate, you're not addressing Apple here. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

Your "More System Details" shows an extension named "RightSurf" which based on a Google search is something that most people prefer to remove. In case that is corrupting your display, try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Also, visit the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent additions to the top. Typically this will show a bundle of several different unwanted programs that snuck in with something "free". Remove anything that you don't recognize or don't need.

Can you change or copy and paste the duration parameter?

select them all... Inspector>Properties>Timing>duration.. you might then wanna adjust your in points on in your timeline cause there's gonna be lots of overlapping... -_-

How do you get a keyboard to show the correct keys

I'm using my wireless keyboard & mouse from my old PC. It's identified and works OK apart from some keys on it.
On the keyboard, the " character is above the number 2 and the @ is above the ' key. However, they are now swapped around, with the " appearing when I press Shift+' and the @ appearing when I press Shift+2. There are other issues with key on the keyboard and the character that is appearing...pressing end in an edit box does not take me to the end of the line, but rather the end of the page.
Any ideas?

You probably have a non-English keyboard.
To the top right of your screen you should see a US flag. That means the keyboard is using the US layout. If you click the flag you will see a menu item "keyboard viewer". There you can change the setting.
I regularly switch to the German keyboard layout if I have to write in German, and the switch back to US English.
I wouldn't do this, though, as when you switch to a different language setting, you lose certain letters or symbols. I'd get a new keyboard - it's not expensive.

Apple, why did you remove keyboard short cuts for EQ in v7?

now gone in v7
command-1 for main window
command-2 for equalizer!
that eq window short cut was cruitial(for me at least) when I'm doing parties and I need fast access to the EQ
bad move - apple programmers, what were you guys thinking?

Apple changed the commands and they are now used for video.
You can program it back in with different keyboard commands.
Close iTunes. Go to System Preferences>Hareware>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts.
