Arrows and Pg Up/Dwn keys no longer function correctly in firefox.

When in a browser, if I use the down arrow keys to move down the page, the page immediately goes to the bottom, instead of the next section of screen to be displayed.
The Pageup/pagedown buttons have the same problem - they go to the absolute top and absolute bottom of the screen instead of going to just the next section of the page to be viewed.
I have tested it and I do not have this problem in IE which makes me think it is not a setting on my particular machine (ie: scroll lock, etc) but more something is off in Firefox.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Arrows and page up/down keys don't work (also not in previous version)

Arrow and page up/down keys don't work. Problem started a fe2w months ago; upgraded to Beta but it made no difference. Sorry to report that they work fine in Internet Explorer but i DO NOT want to switch. Thanks!

IU'm curious if this is a 'getting used to Macs' issue;
I'm on my first Mac [and OS X] as well, and to
me tthese friggin keys "don't work" either.
That is, they do not do anything useful, like
go to the start or end of a text field. The
keys do function, though. Home goes to the start
of a document, and end goes to the end. Seems
silly to me; how often do you go to the start
or end of a document, versus the start or end
of a line? Two points off your usability rating,
Apple
Anyways, if this [the keys doing different things
under Mac] is the issue, see if Apple-Left Arrow
and Apple-Right Arrow do what you're expecting
Home and End to do.

For some reason the function keys on my mac book changed, I restored them and now the shift keys have the function of showing the desktop and all windows. I there a way I can restore the original function?

You do not tell us what OS version you have. In OS 10.8.2, do this:

[SOLVED] Page Up and Page Down keys no longer working correctly

uname ...
3.12.9-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64
I use KDE 4.12.2
For some reason - applications in KDE are no longer responding to the PgUp and PgDown keys.
For example previously in firefox PgUp/PgDown would scroll the current web page up or down, but now it doesn't work.
Firefox DOES change tabd using CTRL + PgUp/CTRL + PgDown as previously.
Another example Okular ignores PgUp/PgDown - although (again) it does respond to CTRL + PgUp/CTRL + PgDown.
Previously it responded with the correct move one page up and down.
If I go to a terminal
showkey
keycode 28 release
# PgDown
keycode 109 press
keycode 109 release
# PgUp
keycode 104 press
keycode 104 release
If I try to set a keyboard sortcut in a KDE app (e.g. change the Previous / Next page keyboard shortcut in Okular) the app recognises the PgUp and PgDown keys, but the application doesn;t respond.
I've also tried a different keyboard and I get the same behaviour.
I'm completely baffled, any help?
What could be causing this strange behaviour?

From what I understand - they would have to be global keyboard shortcuts. I've looked in the KDE system settings anmd there are no global shortcuts defined for PgUp and PgDown. I certainly haven't configured anythin to use them.
I'm not sure if there is anywhere else to look for them.
EDIT: So after about an hour or so of poking around, it seems I DID set shortcuts for PgUp/PgDown (and promptyl forgot about them.)
These set global shortcuts that aren't recognised by the KDE system settings shortcuts applet.

Escape key no longer functioning to back out of photos in Event view

In iPhoto '09, when you drilled down to view a photo in Event view, you used to be able to use the Escape key to step back a level. With iPhoto '11, I have been unable to do this. Is there a setting I'm missing or something?

I just figured out a great solution to this problem! The goal here is to remap the Escape key in iPhoto so that it functions like the Command-Left-Arrow, which currently has all the functions we wish Escape had. The instruction are fairly simple:
Install KeyRemap4MacBook. It's a wonderful program that lets you take control of your keyboard. It's stable and powerful and quick and free.
Follow these instructions which tell you how to add your own custom settings. (Skip steps 4 through 6, which just give you some example settings to add.)
Edit private.xml so that it looks like the following (or at least contains the following "item", if you have other custom settings installed):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<item>
    <name>Escape to Command Left Arrow</name>
    <identifier>private.app_iphoto_escape_to_command_left_arrow</identifier>
    <only>IPHOTO</only>
    <autogen>--KeyToKey-- KeyCode::ESCAPE, KeyCode::CURSOR_LEFT, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_R</autogen>
</item>
</root>
Finally, save private.xml, then click "ReloadXML" under the "Change Key" tab of the KeyRemap4MacBook preferance pane. Your new setting should appear at the top of the list. Enable it. Restart iPhoto if you feel like it (you probably won't need to). And now, in iPhoto, Escape should work as you want it to!
NOTE: There is one downside I've discovered. You won't be able to get out of Slideshow mode using the Escape key anymore, as this was the one case where Escape originally functioned sensibly. Rather, you'll have to use your mouse to click the X button to escape. But Slideshow mode is terrible anyway. Just use full screen mode instead.

Volume keys no longer functional?

the volume keys quit working on my wired aluminum keyboard this morning.
nothing new, just stopped wrking. other function keys seem to still be working.
tested on 10.7 and 10.8.
tried installing keymap to see if the keys could be tricked into returning, but sadly, no. volume not working with the keyboard any longer.
this is a wired keyboard. F11 (volume down) now does some thing where it makes stuff on screen slightly larger to fill the screen.
I am suddenly surprised how often i use volume keys now that they do not work.

thanks, checked every possible combination to restore the volume keys using the keymap4macbook preference pane (what a dumb name, but it is free). working correctly again.

After 2/5/2012 update to 10.0, the enter key no longer functions on the URL bar. (Running Windows 7 Home Premium on 64 bit Intel Core i3)

The URL line accepts text, but using the "Enter" key generates no response. The right arrow at the end of the URL line will take me to the URL.

I recently upgraded to Lion and my 2004 Microsoft Office no longer functions. So all of my word docs are unreadable with the Lion system. If I buy pages, will they be converted? Also, I used Microsoft Word for editing docs, making comments and tracking

I need help. All of my word docs from Microsoft word 2004 cannot be read in Lion. I can't believe I'll have to pay for a Word upgrade. Is it worth it? Is pages as good? Will all of my docs be recognized once I upgrade to the current word or Pages? I tried Open Office, but that doesn't synch all of the previous Word docs, it needs to be done one doc at a time.

The fact that Lion is unable to run PowerPC only applications is publicized for months.

In the expression editor dialog box my TAB key doesn't function correctly

This is bizarre behavior that seems to have started recently.
In Visual Studio 2012, an SSRS project, any expression editor dialog:
The tab key doesn't work right.
Open the expression editor and:
* I see a blinking cursor and I can type in the expression box.
* If I hit the tab key, the cursor disappears and I cannot type. I appear to lose focus in the editor but focus doesn't appear to go anywhere else in the dialog box.
* If I hit the tab key a 2nd time, the cursor is still gone and I cannot type.
* If I hit the tab key a 3rd time, I can finally type again and note that I am now
3 tabstops in. In other words it seems like the tabs were working but I lost the ability to type anything until I "tab" 3 magical times.
I can work around this by hitting tab key then grabbing the mouse and clicking where the cursor SHOULD be which returns focus to the text area.
Hopefully this image helps clarify:
Anybody know what is wrong?

Hi Bostaevski,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
According to your description, as you said that the cursor disappears and cannot type issue. It seems that the issue may be not Visual Studio the VS IDE issue.
In addition, I find a similar thread about the
Expression Editor Cursor Issue,
please see:
http://www.beta.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedbackdetail/view/780682/vs-2012-rdlc-expression-editor-cursor-issue#.
Therefore, I suggest you could also try to press alt with left and right arrow keys and check if it is works fine.
Thnank for your understanding!

Display no longer functions correctly after update

After updating this morning (the only package updated being wayland), the display on my main computer (laptop still works fine) no longer works properly. It is a bit difficult to describe the problem: there is a constantly changing display of symbols in various colours, "behind" which the usual terminal messages are still legible, though a bit garbled. This began right after re-boot following the update. Because the problem is apparent immediately when the display starts with the manufacturer's logo, I thought at first my monitor had given up. But the same problem occurs on a replacement monitor, which leads me to think it is a software problem. Any hints -- or even better -- a solution? X won't start, making it pretty useless. I can still ssh into it from my laptop, but a real solution is required. My graphics card is NVidia, if that matters (Intel on my laptop).
Many thanks!
Thea
PS I should add, I have read other posts from today regarding similar display issues, and this one appears to be different, although perhaps related. I retrograded the wayland package, but the problem remains. Wayland was the only package I updated-- that is, the only difference between pre-update (no problems) and post-update (dispaly does not work properly).
PPS further details:
1. The problem is already apparent at start-up (push the ON button): the computer (not the monitor) manufacturer name appears, but the display is in dashed lines.
2. After Arch Linux boot and login, there are 5 vertical bands each about 4cm (1.5 ") wide of "shimmering" pixel colour squares spaced evenly across the screen, the intervening spaces are "normal" -- that is, display correctly and without problem. So to some extent, still workable. X will not start, giving me an error message:(/var/log/Xorg.0.log)
NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module
with the advice to consult kernel.log. However, this log (and all other kernel logs) is empty.
3. When the monitor goes into standby mode, the "shimmering" bands are still visible.
Update 1:
After mesa update this afternoon (21 Feb.) video display returned to normal (ok, mesa depends on wayland) until trying unsuccessfully to start X. Since then (and also after a couple of reboots) the problem is the same. Am hoping the silence on this issue indicates that work is in progress in fixing it.
Update 2:
After a night in a cold office (I live in southern Ontario) and a literally cold boot (but no updates), everything appears to be back to normal.
Still, it would be nice to know what the problem was.
Update 3:
So much for magic. This morning (23 Feb.) after normal system update (no obvious problematic packages relating to graphics) the display oroblem returned, as before. Fresh boot made no difference. What's going on??
Am re-posting this as a new message. Monday, start of the week, who knows, maybe someone can help.

My volume keys aren't functioning correctly?

Well, I just got a brand new keyboard for my iMac, and it's a bit different from my previous keyboard.
My volume keys aren't working when I try pressing it, and the only way I am able to raise/lower the volume is by going to the top right hand corner and raise/lower the volume with my mouse.
It gets pretty annoying sometimes when I have to constantly use my mouse to raise/lower the volume, instead of just pressing two buttons on my keyboard.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks!

Is it an Apple Keyboard?
If so what about pressing fn+VolumeUp/VolumeDown

Links no longer function correctly when selected in applications

As of relatively recently I've started encountering an issue that happens any time I click on a hyperlink/link within an application.
What I find myself having to do is click the link 2-3 times before it correctly opens up in the browser. So this can happen from OS X applications such as AirMail, Twitter, etc (any application that supports opening a link in the default browser).
The first 1-2 times I click on it the browser (Firefox 32) switches into the foreground but the link never opens, only on the 3rd time (mostly) does it actually then open the link I clicked on properly within the web browser (sometimes it does on the 2nd attempt if I hold the link down for longer, but this may just be co-incidence).
I have no idea why this has started to happen or for that matter how to fix it.
Any assistance with this matter would be welcome!

Audio preview no longer works correctly since AE-CC update

Hi everyone.
Since updating AE CC a couple of days ago (now on 12.1.0.168) on OSX 10.8.5, 2.7GHz i7 16GB RAM, the audio and RAM preview no longer functions correctly.
The steps I follow are:
Open AE
Open project
Press . to preview audio from where I am on the timeline, OR RAM preview workspace
What happens is my cursor turns into the wheel of doom for a about 20 seconds, then the playback begins but the audio is sped up which is wrong. Video is correct speed.
If I stop the audio or RAM preview, then preview again, everything is fine and plays instantly. If a RAM preview loops, then the audio reverts to normal speed.
I can open up any and all of my different project files and audio previews perfectly and instantly as it should. It's just the first time I press the . key on a freshly opened instance of AE that I get this problem.
I've tried restarting my mac to no avail, and also changing the pref settings away from what the settings have always been and that doesn't work either. I've even trashed my prefs and that also doesn't work.
I work exclusively at 25fps. Frame rate for RAM preview is set to auto (25) and changing this from auto to 25 doesn't work.
Memory settings are default since trashing my prefs, 16GB installed, 4GB for other apps, no checked boxes are ticked.
Any ideas on what has happened please?

Thanks for letting us know, however, this is a user to user forum and not an "Apple Run" forum.

Airprint no longer functions

connected deskjet 3052a and airprint initially worked but no longer functioning. i use iphone/ipad

Hi johnter,
Does your device see the printer? If so and it doesn't print, check your print queue to make sure a print job is not stuck. If your device(s) no longer see the printer, reboot all devices bringing up the router first (give it 30 seconds) then bring up the printer and then your devices. Now try your print job again.

G4 won't boot from any Linux disc I put in it and c key no longer boots cd

I have a G4 Powermac (sawtooth, DVD drive, 512 MB RAM, 30 GB HDD) which has started refusing to boot from any Ububtu discs I have all of a sudden.
I'll be more specific. I've previously been able to boot from Ubuntu 6 cds (originals from shipit, not burnt) as well as Ubuntu 7 (burnt disc). I haven't made any changes to the system that should stop it booting from them. Currently installed on the hard disc is System 9 and Puma. It is still booting ok from my System 9, Puma, Panther and Tiger discs; but when trying to boot from my ubuntu discs (I've tried all of them to eliminate the possibility of a stuffed disc) the screen goes black for a second as if it is starting to boot, but then it kicks me to the flashing folder screen you get when it can't find a startup disc. Oddly enough the background colour of this screen isn't grey like usual. It's orange. I've never seen that before. If I leave it sitting at this screen after about 30 seconds or so it starts up from the hard disc on its own.
Another odd thing: the c key no longer forces the machine to boot from the cd when held on power up. This is extremely odd, as holding down option brings up the startup disc selector, and cmdopt+shiftdel also works. I've tried everything I can think of. Used a different keyboard, reset the NVRAM (by cmdopt+pr and my manually going into open firmware and doing a "reset-nvram" and "reset-all"). I've tried the PMU reset switch on the logic board. I've tried using different drives. In all cases it still refuses to boot from cd when holding c.
I don't think that the mac refusing to boot while holding the c key is coincidental. I believe that whatever the issue is that's causing this issue is what is also causing the mac from not booting any Ubuntu discs. It's a very strange problem and upon searching around, it seems this doesn't seem to have happened to anyone else before. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, yoshi -
I just have to be rush to get the cd in the drive and then to hit cmdshift+optdelete before it's too late...
You should also be able to use Startup Manager to choose the CD as the boot volume -
Article #HT1310 - Startup Manager: How to Select a Startup Volume
A feature not discussed in that article -
Once Startup Manager has loaded, if the CD is not in the drive you can press Command-. (Command-periodkey) to open the drive - this should work even if another disk is already in the drive. Insert the disk you want to use, close the tray, wait a few seconds for the disk to spin up and get recognized, then click the circular arrow icon on the left - this forces a rescan of the available drives, which should result in an icon of the new disk appearing in the array. Click it to select it and then click the straight arrow icon on the right (or press Return).
