Command-C is not working consistently to.

Command-C is not working consistently for me. In multiple apps, but mostly in Word, I find myself pressing Command-C and then Command-V to paste and what I paste is the LAST thing I copied, not the most recent. I sometimes have to repeat teh sequence several times before it pastes the thing I want it to. Any suggestions? I tried searching for this problem, but didn't find any relevant discussions. Thanks!

Hello eeinna,
I was thinking it might be a good idea to reset the SMC and the PRAM on the computer. Here are the 2 articles for those processes:
About NVRAM and PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
And
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
If needed I would also recommend testing the issue in a new user, and following the directions in this article as well based on what you find.

All the best,

Wifi with stock kernel driver rtl8192ce not working consistently

Hi,
My wifi card RTL8188CE does not work consistently with kernel driver rlt8192ce. The problem that i observe is that after some time ~1hr wifi devices get disconnected and are not able to reconnect. On restarting wifi using systemctl restart hostapd sometimes the system hangs.
Here are the outputs.

Go to current song (command L) is not working in itunes 11

Go to current song (command L) is not working in itunes 11, anyone having the same issue?

Thanks for figuring that out.
I thought that command-L was working when I first switched to iTunes 11, but then it wasn't working anymore. That's the ticket: I changed the display to show the sidebar.
Still, I'd like to be able to use the command-L feature whether I'm showing the sidebar or not.
I'd also like it if iTunes would keep showing the currently playing song when in Grid or Artist view modes. It doesn't, so I have to keep using command-L to see the current song info.

Power button not working consistently

Have owned my Macbook Air 13" for almost a year. Over the last few months, I've had some issues with the power button when in standby mode. I think this happened even before I updated to OS X Yosemite. Sometimes when I go to turn my computer on, the button is completely unresponsive. I have to press the button over and over again. Sometimes I hold it down firmly and it turns on, other times it seems to turn on after a light touch. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks-

Post relates to: Tungsten E2
Just an FYI Laura - you can press any of the hard buttons on your Palm and it will turn on. Many of try to avoid using the fragile power button, choosing instead to use a hard button to turn on, and the normal timeout to turn off.

The back button does not work consistently, and rarely works if I open an attachment...any ideas on fixing this?

The back button does not work consistently, and rarely if ever when I open an attachment. Does anyone have a fix for this?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I installed firefox

Same problem here: I never had a problem with the previous versions and now I don't even get my homepage when I click Firefox. Instead, I am getting a blank screen that says "New Tab", only after I click the "Home" symbol I get my Homepage (Yahoo). The browser - back and browser forward button don't work anymore, very annoying. Normally a newer version should be an improvement but it looks like Mozilla really messed up with this "improvement". probably I am going to use Google chrome from now on.

Command-V will not work!

I use command-c & command-v more than any other keys on my keyboard and all of a sudden, command-v will not work. I think one of my children pushed something that disabled it, but I cannot get it to paste anything even though my other command options work. When I press command-c the "Edit" tab highlights and when I press command-v the "Edit" tab also highlights but it does nothing. It does this in every program so it's not program specific. Wow...amazing how missing one function can disable a person so quickly!

A couple of people who have had this problem found an SMC reset resolved it, which is odd as you wouldn't think there would be any connection. However it is easy enough to do.
from;
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
1.
Shut down the computer.
2.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
3.
Wait fifteen seconds.
4.
Attach the computer's power cord.
5.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
If that does not work, then explore your idea that your kids may have re-assigned that function to something else. Ask them if they were doing anything like that.

how did you take the screenshot?
if you used a key combo like command+shift+ a number it will be saved as a file on your desktop
you need to add control* to whatever key combination you pressed to put it on your clipboard
*sorry for saying shift before i meant control

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

Shift-Command-R does not work anymore

Hello all,
I've noticed that the shortcut shift-command-r does not work anymore on my macbook pro. I used it for the calendar to refresh all calendars, and its also handy to open the reader in safari 5.
When I open the keyboard viewer from the language and text menu I can see it when I press shift, then command but when I press "R" nothing changes, only shift+command stay highlighted. Other letters do work, so its a bit strange.
Anyone know a solution for this?
Thank you in advance

Nope thats not the problem, the listening key is Esc. It is as if the keyboard does not register it when the R is pressed in combination with the shift and the command together. As I said, the keyboard viewer shows every keystroke except the shift-command-r combi.

I opened something that won't seem to quit. Command Q is not working and nothing else will, what else could I do to quit?

Nevermind! I right-clicked on the application and clicked force quit and it worked! That's all I had to do!

I have a MacBook Air using Maverick. I have files in the trash I want to recover. I do not have "Put Back" and Command Delete does not work.

I have a MacBook Air using Maverick. I have files in the trash I want to recover to their original files. I do not have "Back Up" and "Command + Delete" does not work.

Drag them out of the Trash and put them in their original location. Put Back may work on one file at a time.

Command-I does not work!

I am running Mac OS 10.6.4. I bought this iMac brand new with 10.5 last year, installed Snow Leopard with the drop-in install DVD, and it has always had this strange quirk. Anytime I try to use the Command-I shortcut for "Get Info," it won't work. It doesn't work in Finder, iTunes, Safari...any application! My Command key is not broken, because all of the other shortcuts seem to work just fine (e.g. Command-S, Command-Q, etc.). The only one that doesn't work is Command-I.
I've scoured the internet but cannot find anyone with the same problem. Anyone know what's going on or how to fix it?

No. Since the issue is specific to your original user account, you can proceed in two ways. One is to log into your new account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything on that other account's list from the original account's Preferences folder into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.

Clickpad Right Click not Working Consistantly

I just purchased an HP laptop with a Clickpad and reviewed your documentation for what areas on the pad to use for clicking however I can't seem to get a consistent right click even when I click in the area indicated by the diagram. I can be almost in the bottom right corner of the pad's surface and still get a left click response.
Is there a trick to it I am missing or do I have a dud?

Hello Kyraoko,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the right-clicking action on the touchpad, of your notebook, is not working properly. It is likely a hardware issue, to be honest. However, please try the following steps before assuming anything:
1. Tap the upper-left corner of the touchpad a couple of times to turn it off, then turn it on. This is considered resetting the touchpad.
2. Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset is the next step. A hard reset clears driver instructions, recent configurations, etc. This forces the hardware to reread all instructions from the drivers and software stored within Windows.
3. Update the mouse/touchpad driver. These instructions will guide you along the right path:
a. Go to the HP Drivers and Downloads webpage. Enter your computer model number and then click Go .
b. Select your computer model from the list of results.
c. Select your operating system from the drop down menu and then click Next.
d. Scroll down to select the driver category "Driver - Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices".
e. Click the Download button next to the appropriate TouchPad or ClickPad driver. The file downloads to your Downloads folder.
f. Open your Downloads folder and double-click to install the latest driver. Follow on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Source: Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8)
4. If that doesn't work, we will have to try a more direct approach of reinstalling the mouse driver:
a) Go into Device Manager, then "Mice and other pointing devices".
b) Right-click on the touchpad driver, and select "Uninstall".
c) Restart the computer. This will force a new driver to be written based on the detected hardware.
5. Try connecting a USB mouse to the computer. Test it to see whether or not it is working properly.
If those steps do not help, then I would call HP phone support so they can physically address the hardware of the touchpad. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks for posting, and have a great day!

Left side shift/command/option keys not working

I have a 2010 11" macbook air and out of nowhere my left side Shift Command Option keys are not working at all. Anyone had this issue? or know what I can do to solve it?
I have tried connecting my keyboard to it and doing the reset PRAM, SMC, PMU with no luck. I tried installing new Mountain Lion OSX hoping it was a software issue and it is still not working.

I had a key fail on my MBA and the problem progressed to other keys. It turned out to be the electoonics in the keyboard, not the individual keys. When it progressed to W, I had to replace it;) Given you have two keys failing at once it could be a similar problem.

Command-C is not working consistently to.
