Command-Left/Right Arrow not working

Very strange behavior I'm seeing today.
My left/right arrow keys work. Even Option-Left/Right works correctly.
But, Command-Left-Right do not work. No movement at all.
Curiously, Shift-Command-Left/Right work fine.
I've not changed any keyboard shortcuts recently. I've checked the keyboard shortcuts that are currently defined. Nothing that would indicate a problem, but clearly there is.

Just found a solution that worked for me here. Basically, it seems to be a bug with the Dock. If you type "killall Dock" (the command is case-sensitive) into the command line in Terminal, it restarts the Dock. After that the arrows seem to work normally again.

Gmail - Compose email - Command-left/right shortcut not working

Firefox 3.6.12
Mac OS X 10.5.8
In the 'Compose mail' window of GMail the shortcut Command-left arrow or Command-right arrow to jump to respectively beginning or end of a line, is not working. Command-up/down (go to top/bottom) and option-left/right (jump per word) are all working fine.
I already tried running Firefox in Safe mode but still the same issue. Also tried clearing the cache and all history but to no avail.
In Safari the shortcut works fine but I'd like to stick to Firefox.
Thanks for any suggestions.

This problem has been marked "solved" but isn't solved at all. This problem still exists, and is infuriating to any Mac/Firefox/Gmail users who like to stick to the keyboard. I've also noticed this happens in other google apps (blogger, docs, etc).

Windows key + left and right arrows not working with RemoteApp windows

My office is deploying RemoteApps to replace certain locally installed applications. I, and many of my coworkers, have 2-3 monitors and the Windows
+ left and right "snap" function has been an extremely convenient way to juggle multiple windows across multiple monitors. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work with RemoteApp windows. Does anyone know a way to get this working?

Hi,
Based on my test, I agree with Keith Langmead, it seems Windows key + left or right key cannot work with remoteapp.

Left/Right Arrows Stopped Working

Hello,
I just noticed my left and right arrow keys have stopped working. I updated my computer earlier today and when I tried to move the line cursor over, it wouldn't move. The top and bottom arrow keys work fine, but not the left and right keys.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
--AL

Apple Magic Mouse--right click not working, left-right scroll not working

Brand new out of the box, right click does not work and neither do the left-right swipe. Is it likely I have a faulty mouse, or is there a software update or setting I have failed to find? Running 10.6.4 on brand new MacBook Air. Experts--help please

I have the same issue. My magic mouse is only about a year old and i honestly don't use it that often... it seems to me the right click is not "connecting" well as i have to click several times or very hard to get it to make a clicking sound. not sure if its stiff or broken or not.
Overall I'm pretty frustrated as this thing was EXPENSIVE.
Any ideas how to fix it?

Magic Mouse left right swipe not working

I got the mouse with my computer about a month ago. And suddenly, the left/right swipe has stopped working. I've wiped down the top and changed the batteries. I restarted. It doesn't seem to be working.
Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Take it back to Apple and get a new one, yours is still under warranty.

Working through David's book - trouble with Control-Left/Right Arrow

I have worked my way through David Nahmani's book in the Apple Pro Training series and it is EXCELLENT! It's the best investment I've made in a long time. The investment I made in the new computer and software would be so much less AWESOME had I not found this little gem. I do have a question, though...
When it comes to the command keys, I can't get the Control-Left/Right Arrow commands to work. They are supposed to be zoom keys - but they just wipe my window left and right. I'm probably doing something wrong. Anyone know what it is?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Gina

Gina,
The problem is that Control + Arrow Keys is the default key command to switch between Spaces (window sets) in Leopard. So, here's what you do:
1. Open System Preferences
2. Click on "Exposé & Spaces" (top row, fourth icon from the left)
3. Click on the "Spaces" tab
4. In the bottom portion of the window you'll see a section for "Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts", in the second pulldown menu change the setting from "^ Arrow Keys" to another of the choices. I personally use the second choice, which is Command + Option + Arrow Keys.
Now, back in Logic your Control + Arrow Keys should be controlling your Arrange window zoom.
Hope this helps!

I was downloading podcast video in my itouch using wifi, but suddenly my wifi got disconnected and now there is a link in my podcast list which on opening uses wifi to play that video. I want to delete that link. Right to left swapping is not working.

I bet this is too late but...
Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain.

Why do the "SHOW THE PREVIOUS PAGE arrows not work on some websites such as when I try to return to the previous page the arrows at the top right of the page are not dark black they are light grey and do nothing---HELPPPP

why do the "SHOW THE PREVIOUS PAGE arrows not work on some websites such when I try yto return to a previous page the arrows at the top right of the page do not work instead they are light grey instead black and do nothing---this is frustrating to not be able to return to the page before--HELP

If a page you go to opens in a new tab, there is no 'back' to go to. If that is the case, just close the tab and you'll be at the page you came from.

DV6-2030sa right click not working

i have read the posts on a similar problem, but it hasn't solved the problem for my machine.
I have a dv6-2030sa
the right click on the touchpad button does not work, even if you hold it down.
on initial start up, the left click does not work properly until you run task manager? quite weird.
have reinstalled drivers, was a problem, then seemed to get fixed, is a problem again.
perhaps a driver issue? the latest version (according to website), file sp49392 is what i have installed

Try to uninstall the device from the device manager (right click on the "Computer" in the start menu and choose "manage" - now if you're not using an external mouse, you can use the Start key to open the Start menu, use the arrow keys to navigate to "Computer", then press Shift-F10 for the menu, and select "Manage" and press Enter to activate it.)
One you have the touchpad uninstalled, restart the computer. You may not be able to move the mouse after you uninstall, so use the keyboard shortcuts.
the Start key and the arrow keys will allow you to select shutdown or restart, then "Enter" to activate it.
Windows will need to be completely loaded before it will install the drivers for the touchpad again, so you may not have a mouse for a minute or three.
If this don't work, try using the Synaptics 9.1 driver from Synaptic's website. You may lose functionality as fas as gestures or virtual scrolling, but the touchpad, left and right buttons should all work.
Hope this helps!

Left Outer Join Not working in BI 7.0 Infoset

Hi All,
I am working on BI 7.0. I have to create a report where I have to display the Target values from a target DSO against the transactional data (Operational data).
I have a DSO where for a subteam value target has been set up on different KPIs.
In the Info Cube, I have transactional data on daily basis per subteam. I have to show the actual and target values.
I have created an Info Set using Target DSO and Daily operational cube, so that I should able to compare the target and actual values of KPIs, for all the subteam values (From DSO, irrespective of whether the data is available in cube for those sub team).
I have used Outer Left Join in the Info set (DSO on left side), but I am unable to see the desired results. It is working just like an inner join.
Any Idea why the Outer Left Join is not working? The DSO has only one fey field called subteam on which I have set outer left join.
Regards,
Amit

Hi,
did you solve your problem? because I have the same issue right now: the left outer join doesn't seem to do its job.
Let me know if you have found a solution, it would be appreciated.
have a nice day,
Dominic

Left rear channel not working - Xfi

My left rear channel is not working. Its not the speakers nor the connections, its the soundcard (Xfi XM). I know this because I switched the front/rear connections to test them and the same problem?channel did not work. The problem is in both Vista and XP, so its not the software/drivers either. Any solution to this? Thanks.
