Can't open Keyboard

Hi All,
I'm a very new user to Garage band and the world of MAc's. On a track that I'm working on every time I press cmd & K the keyboard doesn't appear. Does anyone have any clues as to why this is happening.
Thanks in advance

so it's not set at 1344x840 but is currently at 1680x1050, and that is the highest.
i'm pretty sure the window is off the screen somewhere, but while i have a little app that tries to correct this for musical typing, i haven't tackled writing one for the simple keyboard.
the best advice i have, if clicking around the edge of the screen doesn't turn it up, is to D/L MIDIKeys, which is also a little keyboard that will work with GB:
(there's a link to it in the answer for using the computer's keyboard to play instruments)

  • Can't open keyboard/preferences in lion

    HI,
    I've downloaded lion over the week-end.
    Installation went ok but I am getting a few strange behaviors:
    1- When selecting "shut down" from my account nothing happens. I have to first log out and then log out!!
    2- When trying to access system preferences + keyboard I first get a message saying it has to restart the "system preference" to access the option. The system preference is then restarted (I note that at the top it now indicates "system preferences 32-bit") and then a pop up window says "you can't open Keyboard preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based MAC".
    I actually doubt that!!!
    3- Last thing is that when installing xcode 4.1 the tool indicated at some point I had to close safari to continue installation. I did so but the installation did not continue. I had to restart the computer and reintall xcode (without safari opened) to get a successful installation.
    I can survive with (1) & (3) but question (2) is really annoying as I can't customize my mac.
    By the way I am using a macbook pro (2.53 GHz intel core 2 duo with lion (11A511).
    Any help would be welcome.
    Thx.

    TextEdit found in your Applications folder will open Word documents. I have the same problem. come on Apple try sort it out

  • Installed Frontrow 1.2.2. can't open keyboard or sound in preferences.

    Installation went fine on my G4 of Front Row 1.2.2..After installing all opens in preferences except keyboard/mouse and sound and that's where I need to activate it. Please tell me how to fix it or how to uninstall and install it right. I don't think I did anything wrong on the install.
    Thanks

    Installing Front Row on any mac that does not meet the minimum system requirements, you do at your own risk. A G4 iMac does not meet them, because of the infared receiver. Although with some tweaks it can be run, but this is unsupported by Apple, and can cause unexpected things like what you are experiencing.
    Here is a website that talks about what you need to get it going. HTH.

  • When I open the settings and messages of the iPhone 4s I get stuck in a white screen, what should I do? the keyboard to open there is minute, I can not open the settings in any way.

    when I open the settings and messages of the iPhone 4s I get stuck in a white screen, what should I do? the keyboard to open there is minute, I can not open the settings in any way.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How can I open my iPad's spotlight keyboard while using Voiceover?

    How can I open spotlight on my Retnina iPad with gestures. Swiping only seems to work with Voiceover turned off. IOS8

    Hello there, panoramaBobl.
    The following link to the online iPad User Guide for iOS 8 explains how to use the Spotlight Search on your iOS device:
    iPad User Guide - Spotlight Search
    http://help.apple.com/ipad/8/#/iPad8c86df4c
         Spotlight Search
    Spotlight Search not only searches your iPad, but also shows suggestions from the App Store and the Internet. You may see suggestions for movie showtimes, nearby locations, and more.
    Search iPad.  Drag down the middle of any Home screen to reveal the search field. Results occur as you type; to hide the keyboard and see more results on the screen, tap Search. Tap an item in the list to open it.
    You can use Spotlight Search to find and open apps too.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

    I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
    Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
    As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
    If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
    Cheers,
    Jack

    First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop).  Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
    Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
    Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts.  Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
    You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
    Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
    Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards).  You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
    You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
    Good luck.

  • Can't access the "Apple" icon in upper main menu to shutdown my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8!  Also can't open a new finder window and main menus such as File and Edit are sluggish to open or don't open at all.  Doesn't happen each time I attempt to shutdow

    Can't access the "Apple" icon in upper main menu to shutdown my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8!  Also can't open a new finder window and main menus such as File and Edit are sluggish to open or don't open at all.  Doesn't happen each time I attempt to shutdowCan't

    There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
    Control-Eject          This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
    Command-Option-Eject          This puts the machine to sleep.
    Command-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and restarts the machine.
    Command-Option-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and shuts the machine down.

  • Can't open Safari 5.1.7 in 10.6.8 on Macbookpro

    Dear fellow Mac users,
    Today I got a Software notification to upgrade to Safari 5.1.7 and there was also a Java update. I went ahead and subsequently I can't open Safari without getting the 'there was a problem' messgae. So I started searching this forum and found a few things. I downloaded the MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8 as someone said this resolved their problem but it resulted in giving me Safari 5.05 which also had problems so I downloaded Safari 5.1.7 and updated it and it wouldn't open again. I also tried logging in on a different account and still it wouldn't open. Now I'm a bit stuck and am not sure what to look for in this report below. Does anyone else have any wisdom as to what mgiht be the problem. Many thanks in advance Damon

    "This crash has nothing to do with extensions or with SIMBL"
    Great, so now we've been able to rule out a few possibilities either by analysis or empirical testing...
    I came here because I was helping out some people who did have problems with SafariStand and Security update 2013-001 for Snow Leopard and this was one of the "More like this" linked by apple discussions.
    Hopefully DamonUK followed your initial advice and has resolved his problems. Probably I should have noticed that you gave the best solution without needing to explain the log. But seeing as he has not responded to your initial post or marked it as answered I have offered my limited expereience too.
    FWIW I can see that there is no mention of SIMBL or its plugins in the list of binary images in the crash log but how can you tell from the log that this doesn't involve extensions? What would be different if it did involve them?
    I mean, is this because of an absense in the log (like even I can see that SIMBL isn't there) or becasue the OP's description and Dyld Error Message preclude it being an extensions issue?
    ( Don't worry I'm not requesting a tutorial - no doubt I can find one online if I want to learn in depth - but you clearly know what you're talking about so I'm interested how your conclusions are reached. )
    "Networking is not disabled in safe mode."
    I'm happy to be corrected if I have given factually wrong information.
    I should have said WiFi is generally disabled in Safe Boot mode in Snow Leopard and others (along with Spotlight in my experience). As most people network via wifi these days, there is a strong probability that wifi won't work for DamonUK, though ethernet networking is still available.
    "Repairing permissions is a waste of time unless you have an indication of a permission error involving system files, which this poster does not."
    Nonetheless, as I stated, "it never harms to run disk utility and repair permissions when in Safe mode."
    True, repairing permissions not the panacea many believe it to be, but it does no harm and some users will be surprised at the permissions errors that do get picked up over time (excluding the numerous repeated ones that Apple says it is safe to ignore).
    Finally, I would think that a dyld error won't be harmed and wonder if it might even be helped by a safe boot as it removes dynamic loader shared caches at /var/db/dyld/
    I don't know if Safe Boot will help (I understand it is usually helpful in a bluescreen boot siuation) but it won't harm and if he finds he can launch Safari in safe mode, at least that is progress.

  • I can't open the DVD tray

    I can't open the DVD tray. There's nothing inside. I hear a sound (a grrrr) but it won't open.
    I had that 2-3 times in the last 5 years and I always managed to open it by pushing the "DVD ROM drive open button" while I restart but not this time.
    I also tried to put a paper clip in the little hole but that doesn't work either.
    In the Apple help site, they say push the "eject media key" on your keyboard; I didn't know where that is but I know now it's the F12 key; when I push it I hear a sound coming from the tray (like a electric screwdriver) but nothing happens.
    So what can I do ?
    I saw that Andrew Favret had the same problem in October and Don Archibald said:
    • Boot or restart the machine, immediately press the Option key, keep it held down. This will bring up Startup Manager. Once Startup Manager has finished loading, press the key combo Command-. (Command-Periodkey). This should open the tray.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I tried the "Option" key. The Start Up Manager appeared: A display with my 5 drives in the middle, and a Right Arrow icon on the right.
    I did click on the right arrow and it started to load normally as it does when you turn the computer on.
    So I try the whole thing again and now instead of clicking on the right arrow, I tried the command and period key. I hear again, a sound coming from the tray and I see the icon for "eject" on the screen but nothing happens. Tried 5-6 times. And the F12 key don't have any effect at this time.
    If I had a disc in the tray, I'm sure the icons for the DVD drive will appear but the tray is empty.
    Not sure if there's a relation but I just upgraded that same day to a new version of iTunes (from version 7 to 8.0.2) and 3 other upgrades: QuickTime player (from 7.1.3 to 7.5.5) Plus Java and Security something.

    Usually there is a CD/DVD in the tray that won't eject, but you say the tray is empty. Are there any other users of you Mac, especially kids? Someone may have placed something in the tray that is causing the jam.
    Here's the usual fixes.
    First try a Restart while holding down the mouse button.
    If that doesn’t work, look at these links:

  • Can't open several things - missing files?

    Hello - Have just read an article which said you shouldn't install new software if you already have problems and of course that is just what I have done! I have an Emac G4 10.39 1 GHz 256 MB SDRAM - no extra memory installed. I have a mouse, keyboard and modem 330 installed - ADSL Broadband - a scanner (not used recently) an HP Deskjet 5100 and now a new HP Photosmart D7360. I had been having problems with Classic and couldn't open it for a while. Then it reappeared but I couldn't save any Microsoft Word documents. I could create them and open old ones but not save.
    Before buying my Photosmart I installed Tiger. Safari, I Photo and I Tunes stopped working. I couldn't get onto the Internet even after reinstalling the Modem software. It turned out the Modem isn't compatible with 10.4 so I reinstalled the original software and updated until there weren't any more upgrades. I reinstalled ILife and the applications (except Safari) now work. (I don't care I've got Firefox.)
    I installed my new printer but the printer utility kept bouncing in and then out of the dock and then 'unexpectedly quitting'. I had other problems with the new printer which I had to take back and have replaced. I uninstalled the software and reinstalled with the new machine. I had the same problem but otherwise the printer is fine. I decided to try printing from different applications and successfully printed a few pictures from I Photo and from the Photosmart Print Application - all the time the Utility was bouncing out of sight and the error message was coming up. Then the printer stopped responding and I discovered I couldn't look at the print queue. I can't delete the name of the printer from the list - the online support suggests checking to see if the printer is in the system profile which is when I discovered I can't open the system profiler.
    Looking at one of the threads on here I went to Terminal and did the recommended but that hasn't fixed it.
    I have been to Disc Repair and fixed the Permissions ( several times over the last few weeks) I have booted from the installer disc and Disc Utilized also but I still can't open the system profiler or open the printer utility. (Ihave uninstalled the printer software.)
    I have just checked to see if I can print from the 5100 and I can but it said 'Printer Proxy unexpectedly quit'before it did.
    Can anyone out there help - I only know some stuff - it might be a case of a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!!!!.....

    I may have been right to be disappointed - look at this page on their website:
    Link
    I don't know if you can use that as it was so long. so I have copied it - It is possible to use a Western Digital external hard drive on both a PC and a Mac. There are a few things to keep in mind if you want to do this.
    The external drive comes preformatted with one large FAT32 partition. Windows 98SE and later should not have a problem accessing this partition.
    Macintosh Operating System 10.3.x or earlier will only recognize FAT32 partitions that are smaller than 128-gigabytes. Multiple FAT32 partitions smaller than 128-gigabytes will need to be created in order for Macintosh Operating System 10.3.x or earlier to recognize the partitions. You will need to use a Windows based computer to create FAT32 partitions, as Macintosh does not have the ability to create them.
    Macintosh Operating System 10.4.x or later can recognize FAT32 partitions over 128-gigabytes.
    If you will be using multiple partitions, create the partitions while the drive is connected to the PC. If you are planning to transfer files larger than 4GB to the drive, there will be a 4GB file size limit on both the PC and Mac if the partition is FAT 32 . This is a file system limitation and there is no way around it.
    If you use a PC running Windows 2000 or XP to partition and format the external drive, keep in mind that both of those versions of Windows can only create FAT32 partitions that are 32-gigabytes or smaller. This is an operating system limitation. To delete the existing FAT32 partition on the drive and create multiple, smaller FAT32 partitions, use Disk Management in Windows 2000 or XP.
    You can download and use our FAT32 Formatting utility located in our Download Library to partition and format the external hard drive as FAT32.
    Please Note: The Western Digital FAT32 Formatting utility can only create a single FAT32 partition the entire size of the external hard drive.
    I'm not sure what any of that means but if it means I have to link up to a pc I may be stuffed. (quaint English expression which might mean scr**ed in US)

  • Patch for modbin6-1.00.38.exe is out.. "2MBIOS.BIN can't open!" Solved.

    Hi mates,
    ive decide to make a patch for modbin6 1.00.38 to improve stability and minise risk of modding the BIOS. for users which is reading this post if never heard about MODBIN better avoid reading below. its nice program for basic BIOS mod, simple to use, but very danger in the same time couse mess with BIOS and inproperty using may couse disaster. im not gona advert or to invite persons to use it. just wana make this program to be used normally to bring stability and minise risk of making corrupted BIOSes.. for persons which is already using it and have experience with him or with person Enthu which is wana try it and they dont worry if mobo may caouse for trash. there is 2 reasons to making this patch.
       1. couse sometimes im using it there is features on it wchich gives basic stuffs, unlocking hidden features locked by manifacturer(sometimes really usefull especially for DIMM Vcore..). so there is a nasty bug on it which gona explain later. most of persons who is using MODBIN know about it. so that patch will spend me alot of time and minimise risk of mistake during avoiding bug couse operation need several procedure and automatised will risk free and much fastern.
       2. to bring ability for most stable operations to persons which is already using it when need.
    but lets talk about the patch. everyone know that nasty issue with MODBIN(made it by Borg N1,part from his collection). bug is program wont safe BIOS file  and quiting with Abnormal program termination.... gives this one message: !!!File
    2MBIOS.BIN can't open!Thanks for using ModBin6 1.00.38  how nice ...
    here is Borg N1 advices:
    Quote from: Borg Number One on 16-July-05, 05:24:51
    Hi.
    It is a kind of sad fact that many users just know how to use the mouse and keyboard. 
    Well, you have to configure your config.sys (Win9x/ME) or config.nt to run MODBIN6
    (e.g. MODBIN6 2.01.01 (06/25))
    in Windows prompt/console without problems.
    The " FILES " & " BUFFERS " values are the important values.

    http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=63210&highlight=config.nt
    +++ BNOBTC & BNOBLG +++
    http://bnobtc.pix-art.com
    Borg advices is good but unfortuanly doesnt fix that bug... seems author dont have much idea why this is happend...error is constant ... Pure DOS also can't help... i wana add few more tips to the Borg's ones to improve stability when using  modbin, after that will talking about patch.
    TIP: navigate to this folder and open config.nt file:  %SystemRoot%\system32\config.nt
    at the end of file add this ones:
    dos=high, umb
    device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys /CPUCLOCK:ON /HMAMIN=64
    FILES=40
    BUFFERS=40
    STACKS=9,256            -----> Preserving 039A-045Eh   3,152   Sys  039Ah Stacks, 0552h DOSX
    Also MODBIN doesnt work well with long filenames.... etc "document and settings\my profile\desktp\modblabla" if not gona work property and there is a big chance of failure will load but after saving will have problems to update BIOS "core"(original.tmp) so always use 8.3 syntax standart .... best way from root directory make subdir whcih name to no NOT exceed 8 symbols... etc C:\123,C:\MYFLASH,C:\ROFL
    without TIPs it is really big gamble with BIOS....
    Aslo that will prevent Stack Overflow error when BIOS is loading....
    NOTE: To activate changes just quit from any DOS interpretators like(4nt,command.com,cmd and so on). and re-run it. Reboot OS is not requred.
    here how to do:
    Also when executing MODBIN put below executable file this ones without quotes "loadfix forcedos modbin6-1.00.38.exe"
    and ofcourse nasty error is waiting us... "2MBIOS.BIN can't open!Thanks for using ModBin6 1.00.38"
    Patch which iv maked gona RIP this error forever.
    Download: modbin6_1.00.38
    Download: MODBINPATCH
    What patch need? and how to use it? I named patch "Dynamic Patch for modbin" Couse isnt make modification on MODBIN program but momory his parent process when is loaded into memory.
    tips suggested below is recommended but not nesecery for the patch.. patch need MODBIN and your BIOS file (modbin6-1.00.38.exe and mybios.bin) to be copied to systemroot drive(usually C) in folder MSI etc put modbin6-1.00.38.exe and mybios.bin(BIOS which you gona mod) to C:\MSI
    Patch make checking if folder doesnt match will not continue....
    How to use it..... Copy modbin6-1.00.38.exe and mybios.bin to C:\MSI, then from command prompt navigate to C:\MSI and execute "loadfix forcedos modbin6-1.00.38.exe" after that load your BIOS file... when loading is complete navigate to your patch folder and execute patchMSI.exe.... takes 10 seconds to complete after that make active "white" window and enter "Q" then hit ENTER key both windows will be closed, after that return to your modbin window, make what you gona make and save BIOS file like normal procedure... Method is founded and tested by me from years below never let me down(never brings corrupted BIOS), but just today ive made patch couse was too lazy... also Borg's MODBIN can work with most of all chipsets which is using AWARD Modular based... NOTE: K9 isnt tested. the most of here you can view how exacly to do it and differents with and without patch:
    here is one more think some time maybe usefull from me:D
    Here is 1st little short trick:(no analog anywhere, like patch only here can be found if accepted):
    How to reset BIOS if you have nothink? Examples if you are administrator/PC-support or any and must fix same PC but the BIOS has an password?! And you dont have permision to open Case to reset CMOS(couse PC has an sticker with Warantly (and removing that sticker couse lost pc warrantly) You need access to BIOS to re-check,configure somethink there but its password protected. anyway there could be many situation. what we need? nothink special just bootable DOS(or analog- PC-DOS or whatever,doesnt matter where will boot(cd,flash disk,hdd)), no extended commands.[io.sys(jo.sys),command.com] - files requred to boot Here we go:
    boot from desired device.when you see command prompt etc.: "A:\,C:\"
    We will write a program without any languich..directly in PC code..(without compilator), direct in machine code.
    write this:
    copy con ffs.com|ffs          *comment None
    176.230p144144230q195     *comment Hold "ALT" and write number
    ^Z                                  *comment "CTRL+Z" then hit "Enter"
    Explain:
    copy(internal command)
    con (command line switch)
    ^Z (CTRL+Z)
    NOTE: Numbers in second line must be written with holdon "ALT" key and specified numbers.(ASCI Code). Non numbers symbols is normal keyboard selection. on input display should look like:
    copy con ffs.com|ffs                   
    ░.цpРРцq├                                 
    ^Z                                           
    Program is 9 bytes long... (simple but high effective)
    Thats it.Reboot Computer... password is gone. CMOS is reseted to default values. Tested on Award 4.0,6.0, AMI BIOS. Break all..
    and finaly again:
    **To All readers of this thread: Please note that this thread is with regards to Self-Modding BIOS and are of NO Official Testings from MSI. MSI will not be responsible for ANY Damage caused from requesting these self modded BIOSes! Please mind that you'll ONLY request and flash AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!** also MODBIN Author(Borg N1) and me is dont are NOT  responsible for ANY Damage caused by MODBIN or Add On Patch. (i didnt think there is risk exit must must said that warning....couse playing with BIOS is always risky). Happy Tweaking. 

    Well, I was wondering if the system not allowing the tty to change ownership -- but root also has the problem.
    You might try checking which shell is set for your users in /etc/passwd, and then check that the shell really exists at the specified path, and that it is executable.  You might also check that the home directory for you users (also specified in /etc/passwd) is mounted and your user has the appropriate rights to that directory.
    Other than that, I am running out of altitude, airspeed and ideas all at the same time.  There was one thing in your trace I did not understand.  Why is your system looking to the floppy drive?  I wonder if that is contributing to the problem.

  • How can I open my iPhoto library after I installed a new HD?

    My hard disk crashed. I got a new one installed. Now, when I sync my iPhone or open iPhoto I get:
    "You can't open your photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
    Can this only be fixed by reinstalling Maverick? When I first installed it, my computer slowed down to 80% its usual speed and I saw no benefit.
    Can I install the new version of iPhoto without having to install Maverick? If so, where can I find it to download it?

  • Can't Open more than One Internet Browser at a Time

    I bought a Toshiba laptop this past spring which I use, offline, at the office.  i've had a problem with it since the day I hooked it up to the internet the first time.  I can't open more than one internet browser at a time.  Windows 7.  I had need to get online with it today and had forgotten about this problem.
    I called Toshiba and they wanted to sign me up to some fee-based service.  They said, without checking anything (or even asking me who I am, or what my computer serial number is) that I had a virus.  Is there a virus going around that causes this problem?  IF so, how could I possibly get it considering I bought this computer in a sealed box?
    My AV software does not pick up any viruses.  I use Avast.
    Can anybody help me? 
    Thanks.

    That Windows key turns out to be useful, try Windows-D to show the desktop
    To open a new browser window, Ctrl-n while in the browser will probably work, or it your browser supports tabs, try Ctrl-t
