Can't use arrow keys to move cursor around TextArea after upgrading to 1.4

Hi,
I saw that there have been similar posts, but none are exactly the same nor have they solved my problem...
I've got an older Java application that has been around for many years,
the only updates to it essentially being upgrading the version of the
JDK. So far, upgrading the JDK hasn't caused any issues. However, after upgrading to JDK 1.4, I can no longer use the arrow keys on the
keyboard to move the cursor within a TextArea. You can use the mouse to highlight and you can use the rest of the keys (i.e. type in text,
delete stuff, etc.) but somehow you just can't move the cursor around
by using the keyboard. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I
could do to solve this? Thanks in advance!

Didn't get any replies/comments, but in case anybody is interested, I took the easy way out and upated the TextArea to a JTextArea and the problem went away.

Tiger & Safari 2.0 - Can't Use Arrow Keys in Password Fields

Since installing Tiger and using the new Safari 2.0, password fields in online forms are not allowing the use of arrow keys. I can't go back one character or to the beginning of the typed in the password field. In fact I can't even use the mouse to click anywhere other than the end of this field. It's forcing me to type it straight through, which is not how I type or re-type passwords (* See Example Below). I need to be able go back and edit sometimes, and the arrow keys helped in previous versions, but not now. All form text fields should allow the use of the arrow keys and the mouse to change the cursor's insertion point. Internet Explorer does not do this. But to my dismay the Mac OS X Login Window does! So maybe this is part of the OS rather than just Safari. I hope Apple is listening and fixes this issue in future versions of Safari & Tiger
* Example of how to make secure passwords via the Arrow Keys:
Take two or three easy to remember words or numbers. For example I'll use "steve" "jobs" and the date Apple Computer was formed 4/1/1976 or "4176" for our purposes here. First you type in the first word...
steve
Second you move the cursor with the arrow keys (which you can't do in Safari 2.0) to the beginning using the up-arrow, then alternate typing the second word "jobs" with a right-arrow key interspersed between each letter. So you would then type "j right-arrow o right-arrow b right-arrow s", which combined with what we already typed in step one should look like this...
jsotbesve
Things are looking secure, no one would think of typing that. But we'll go to a third step and just repeat what we did before adding "4176" to the mix, which would then look like this...
4j1s7o6tbesve
No one or thing would guess that password. but it's so easy to remember with the help of Arrow Keys. Now this is just one method. You could use the left-arrow key to go backwards with it, using two left-arrow key clicks...
stsebv6o7e1j4
maybe use 1, 2, and 3 right-arrow clicks...
4j1so7teb6ves
Simple, easy to remember words or numbers made into secure unguessable passwords with the simple help of the Arrow Keys. Please Apple, make them usable in the password fields again.

Still looking for help here.
And now in addition the above-listed issue, this browser has bogged down and is loading pages so slowly it just grinds to a halt.
At this point, I'd settle for instructions on how to fully uninstall Safari and re-install it and start over. This is flat unacceptable, and at this point I'm wondering why in the world I elected to pay for Tiger, only to be "blessed" with this disaster.
Please don't tell me to go back and reinstall the entire operating system. Not unless Apple would like a bill for the hours of my time it will take to do that, re-port all my files and re-install all my other software.

Using Arrow Keys to Move Pointer - Mouse Keys?

Hello, I am trying to use Universal Access on a new MacBook Pro.
Ideally, I would like to move the screen pointer by holding the function key (or some command type key) and the directional arrows - instead of using the mouse. Is there a way to map the keys to do this?
I tried to turn on Universal Access and turning on Mouse Keys, but there are no instructions in the Help section that tell you which keys move in what directions. Anyhow, after confirming that it was on, no keys would move the pointer or do any mouse functions.
Thank you!

Hello Saksiri-san,
Mouse Keys are controlled by the numeric keys which form a secondary keypad in the block: J->1, K->2, L->3, ;->-, U->4, I->5, O->6, P->*, 7->7, 8->8, 9->9, 0->/. M gives 0 and / gives +, all on an English-language keyboard of course. The movement is U or 4 to the left, O or 6 to the right and so on. The I or 5 key gives the mouse click.
Once Mouse Keys are on, you will normally need to use the fn key as well as those in the secondary numeric keypad to move the mouse. This can be avoided by setting the default option to "software functions" in the Keyboard tab of the Keyboard and Mouse pane of System Preferences.

Flash using arrow keys to move between frames in an animation

Hi,
Im currently creating a calculator on flash and I would like to be able to move to the next part of the calculator (the next frame) by using the arrow keys on my keyboard
This is my current code to move between the frames using a buttons.
stop();
var input1:String;
var input2:String;
var Res:Number;
var Quote:Number;
txtLen.restrict = "0-9"
txtWid.restrict = "0-9"
BtnCon2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fnCall)
function fnCall(Event:MouseEvent):void{
input1 = txtLen.text;
input2 = txtWid.text;
Res = parseInt(input1) * parseInt(input2);
Res.toString();
gotoAndPlay(21)
txtArea.text = String(Res);
BtnRes1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fnRes1)
function fnRes1(Event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay(1);
Im trying to do the same thing that im doing with my buttons but with my arrow keys
Thanks

Another way to write what Ned said is instead of multiple if's, you could do something like:
switch(yourEvent.keyCode) {
     case Keyboard.RIGHT:
          fnCall(null);
          break;
     case Keyboard.LEFT:
          fnRes1(null);
          break;
     case Keyboard.UP:
          //do up stuff
          break;
     case Keyboard.DOWN:
          //do down stuff
          break;
     default:
          trace('I\'m confused by this key.');
          break;
Some people find this syntax more legible.

Can't use "Place Linked" or "Place Embedded" or "Open" after upgrading to Yosemite and PS CC 2014

When I go to File > Place Linked / Place Embedded / Open it isn't working anymore after upgrading to Yosemite and PS CC 2014.
If I drag a file to Photoshop, I can open it that way, or by using "Open Recent".
I've tried going to the folder "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings" and deleting the file "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Prefs.psp", and then "Place Linked / Place Embedded / Open" works once, but then it stops working again?

Yosemite is still full of bugs that Apple has not been able to fix. Thank Apple for the damage to your Photoshop install.
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:

Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Cannot use arrow keys to move an object in illustrator

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks!

Is the object locked? If it's locked, then you can't even select it.
If you can select it and it still won't move with arrows (I'm assuming it moves when you drag it), then perhaps the arrow "nudge" setting is so small it's not visible. Go to Edit > Preferences and look at "General" (the first page of settings. Make sure Keyboard Increment is set to something big enough to be useful.
If all else fails, you might try exiting Illustrator and rebooting.

Using arrow key to move down Event list bug

1. I have my event window in List mode.
2. I'm moving down the list with the DOWN ARROW button.
3. I have a clip selected and the clip name turns blue.
4. I take the cursor and skim the clip preview at the top. FCP X makes the name of the clip gray instead of blue.
5. I press the DOWN ARROW button again.
6. FCP X selects an arbitrary clip and not the next clip in the list.
So just open up an event with a lot of clips in LIST VIEW and sort anyway you want, select a clip, skim the clip preview at the top, the clip name in the list becomes gray, then press DOWN ARROW multiple times and see it jump between what seems like arbitrary clips.
I can't figure out the logic of how it's selecting the clips as I press DOWN ARROW.
So what I have to do is skim the preview, then mouse down to the grayed out name and click on it with the mouse, then press DOWN ARROW, etc.
So, basically, the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons are useless in LIST VIEW because I might as well just click on the next clip with the mouse.
Thanks for your time.

Yes, the clip goes gray. The down arrow takes me to the next clip in the list.
Thanks, Tom.
OK, so what I'm seeing is it sometimes works fine, other times it acts as I've described.
I noticed that when I change the sort from DURATION to NAME, etc., it seems to trigger the behavior I'm describing. See if changing events and then selecting, skimming, then changing the sort by clicking on the column triggers it for you.
This behavior happens with the event window in the main window or on my second monitor.
Thank you for your time, Tom.

Bridge CC crashes while using arrow keys to switch images

Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Adobe Bridge 2014 on Mac is crashing every time I press an arrow key to move through images in bridge. I can click to manually select images with no problem, but using the up/down arrow keys to move to the next image up/down brings up the spinning beach ball and immediately locks the program up, requiring a force quit.
Did the usual Mac permissions and fsck stuff to no avail. Ideas?
Dan

Thanks for moving my post to this correct forum. (I'm afraid I missed it when I originally posted.) A bit more information based on attempts to fix and on further attempts to use the program.
After launching Bridge — before I select any specific image — it initially seems to work correctly. For example, I can use menu items and select and open folders. However...
Once I drill down through folders to show raw files in the browser the problems begin. I can manually select an image by clicking on it, but the program the locks up if I do things such as attempt to navigate to another image using the up/down keyboard arrows or select anything from a menu that would perform an action on the image. (The problem happens with any image selected — not one particular image, and with images that worked fine until 48 hours ago.)
ACR still works. I can double click an image and open the raw converter, and I can doubly click a smart object image in Photoshop do go back to the raw editor and it allows me to edit.
I did the step of holding down command-option-shift at Bridge startup and selecting all three options to delete the cache and so forth. Still no joy.
I did the usual Mac disk/file system repair stuff — repairing permissions and repairing disk — to no avail.
I downloaded and reinstalled Bridge but the problem persists.
Since I have a full backup of the drive on which Bridge is installed and since this backup drive is bootable, I double clicked the copy of Bridge on the backup drive... and it opened (slowly!) but worked correctly. (Not that this means much, but my second instance on my laptop continues to run fine.)
I'm stuck, in a serious way, at this point. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Dan

Down one row using arrow keys

Is FrameMaker capable of navigating up/down one row by using the arrow keys? This seems such a basic functionality but I can't do it? I'm using v7.0 (the company is cheap and won't upgrade). Alternately, is there a third party keyboard utility to get around this limitation?

No need to use a plug-in or scripting language, or to use the existing shortcuts if you prefer something else. FrameMaker shortcuts and menus can be customized to your convenience.
For details, see the "Customizing Frame Products" manual. In 7.0, this PDF book is in the $FMHOME\OnlineDocuments where $FMHOME is your main FrameMaker directory, probably something like c:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker7.0.
While you can use a different file, one way to make your change is to create or edit $FMHOME\fminit\configui\customui.cfg. This is a plain text file that you can edit with Notepad or any other plain text editor (if you use FrameMaker make sure to save the file as text and put the filename in quotes in the Save As dialog box so that FrameMaker does not assign a .txt extension).
Suppose you want to use the up and down arrow keys to move up and down one cell. You probably do not want to disable the usual functionality assigned to those keys--moving up and down a line in text. You might therefore want to use Shift-Up Arrow and Shift-Down Arrow. In customui.cfg all you need is:
<Modify MoveIPToCellAbove
<KeySequence +/Up>
>
<Modify MoveIPToCellBelow
<KeySequence +/Down>
>
Here, + indicates use of the Shift key.

After zooming in on an object using arrow keys to nudge, it crashes most of the time

After zooming in on an object, using arrow keys to nudge, it crashes most of the time.
Versions:
Illustrator CS6, latest update
Mac OS X 10.9.4
FontAgent Pro 6.2
Troubleshooting I've tried
-trashed all related Illus. preferences
-updated the only plug-in being used (FontAgent Pro), to the latest
-disabled all but absolutely necessary fonts
-repaired both system and user permissions
-quit all other apps, so that only Illus. running.
-fonts verified
Was never a problem until a couple weeks ago, so the obvious question is "what changed?". The two things we changed in the time period that the crashing started, is we replaced a balky external drive with a new one, and started our TimeMachine backups over again. And #2, we updated to the latest CS6 versions (due to other quirky issues).
One odd thing to point out...perhaps is "normal", but in the crash reports, it's reporting that Illustrator is 16.0.0, but "About Illustrator" shows that it's 16.2.2.
Everything else running fine on this iMac -- no reason to suspect it's the operating system.
Has anyone run into this bug? If so, what have you done to fix this?
I've not seen anything like this mentioned in Adobe's update change logs or their troubleshooting info.

-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select "Navigation Toolbar"
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset"
-> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE any Unwanted/Suspicious Extension (add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable the Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

Acrobat X Pro 10.1.12 under Yosemite crashes when trying to use arrow keys to navigate.

Acrobat X Pro 10.1.12 Mac
Yosemite OS X 10.10.1
Acrobat now crashes when attempting to use arrow keys to navigate. This is true on both MacBook Pro 15 retina and Mac Pro.

I ended up upgrading to Acrobat XI. This works, but Adobe is up to its old tricks changing the interface from what we're used to using. They now have decided to hide all the tools. You have to delve deep into the program to find the tools, then set up your own tool menus. Lord help you finding a tool that you use too occasionally to put on a custom menu.
Adobe has been doing this for years now. In Photoshop of olden days, it was simple to set up a brush, say, that you used frequently. Quite a few updates ago they made that vastly more difficult. And they've replaced words with happy little icons, that are not at all intuitive to use. I challenge you, too, to look at the icon for the airbrush and tell me whether it is on or off. (Sorry, this is mainly about Photoshop, but what they've done to the latest Acrobat is just as bad.)
Of course, their ultimate cuteness in making things difficult for the user is their essential abandonment of a Help system. You can't do a simple look-up of a function -- you have to go to an internet site and sort through a bunch of forums and user comments to get any information.
JEEZ Adobe!

How do I browse through pictures (in open state) using arrow keys

Hi all. I know this is a lame question. But I am new to Mac. How do we navigate through photos in open mode. I mean usually in Windows, we open one picture and use arrow keys to navigate between photos.What are the keys I can use to navigate between photos. As of now, I have to close the photo and then double tap on another to view it. Thanks.

What application are you using? In iPhoto you can just use the right and left arrow keys to browse photos...

Can we use Column Names in Parameter Cursor

Hi
can we use Column Names in Parameter Cursor??
DECLARE
CURSOR Emp_Cur (P_Deptno NUMBER)
IS
SELECT Empno, Ename
FROM Emp
WHERE Deptno = P_Deptno;
BEGIN
FOR Emp IN Emp_Cur(10)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Number is: '||emp.Empno);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Name is: '||emp.Ename);
END LOOP;
FOR Emp IN Emp_Cur(20)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Number is: '||emp.Empno);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Name is: '||emp.Ename);
END LOOP;
END;
In the above Program, I send Deptnumber. If i send Column names like Empno, Ename. What can i do??
If Declare Samething Through Parameter Cursor, it doesn't accept VARCHAR2(Size)

For parameters you don't use size, just the type (DATE, NUMBER, VARCHAR2, CLOB, ...)
DECLARE
CURSOR Emp_Cur (P_Ename VARCHAR2)
IS
    SELECT Empno, Ename
    FROM Emp
    WHERE Ename = P_Ename;
BEGIN
FOR Emp IN Emp_Cur('SCOTT')
LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Number is: '||emp.Empno);
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Name is: '||emp.Ename);
END LOOP;
END;

HT4059 Can I use Consolidate Files to move several different tracks into one Album?

Can I use Consolidate Files to move different tracks into one Album?

No, that's not what the Consolidate command is for. That command for getting all your track files into a single folder. To get all the tracks in an album to appear together, just Get Info on the tracks and make the album name all the same for each track. See:
