Command` only working in finder

I've just got a new Macbook Air and used a Time Machine backup from my old Macbook Pro to transfer settings etc. All works fine except now the command` shortcut for switching between windows in the foremost application only works in Finder, whereas it used to work on all applications (Mail, Microsoft word etc.).
Is there a way to enable this for all other applications again?
Thanks for any help.

Reboot your device. Whatever it is that you typed in, a reboot will clear it out.
Cheers,

Why is my keyboard only working in Finder?

I was typing in Pages and then I randomly typed a bunch of keys. Something happened and now I can only type things in in Finder. The Brighntess keys ect. All work fine.

Copy command only worked partially...

I'm doing a bit of a postmortem here, my iMac is at a repair shop, so this could just be bad hardware... but it seems I was let down by UNIX here, on my iMac G5 the Finder wouldn't stay up long enough to use, and I had already tried to copy my whole disk using:
asr -source /Volumes/PowerBook/ -target /Volumes/Boot
this worked for a while and ended with some errors...
Then I realized that I really only cared about the Users stuff so I tried
cp -Rp Users /Volumes/BigFireWireDisk/.
This worked without errors and fooled me into thinking I had everything... but if I dig down, I find that it only did a certain amount of layers and stopped. So alas, it didn't get some information that I would have wanted.
Should this have worked? Or was there a better way to do this? Oh yeah, another partition with a script backing it up all the time would have been good, but I didn't know that then.

What's a symbolic link? I'm looking for stuff down
inside my Address Book and iPhoto and such...
It is similar to an Alias. You create it from the terminal using "ln -s". I thought that since you were using cp, you may have also used ln at some point.
I don't know any other explanation, cp will copy everything. It is better than a Finder copy because it won't churn for an hour and then say "Sorry, I won't do it" or stop halfway though. Plus, if cp has any problems, it will print them out to the terminal.

Suspend command only works the first time

I'm seeing a strange issue with my machine. If I suspend the system by using either:
systemctl suspend
or
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
the system will suspend the first time, but then if I try to suspend again, it doesn't suspend completely. The screen goes black and my external hd shuts down, but the box doesn't shutdown. It stays running.
Could anyone offer some suggestions on what to check?
I checked the systemd journal and I don't see any errors that stand out as being the problem.

I've got a similar error. When trying to suspend via systemctl the machine goes down.
The screen goes blank and I can hear my harddrives spinning down but before they go completely silent, the system comes back up again.
Fully working as if I never even wanted to suspend. I'm pretty sure my drives don't like that a lot.
The first time after a boot works however, as mentioned by Gumper.
systemctl reports this:
A dependency job for suspend.target failed. See 'journalctl -xn' for details.
But I can't see anything related in the journal.
This is my second suspend problem now. I already have trouble waking up from suspension on my notebook:

This new problem now is on my x64 desktop machine if that helps. Of course this happens on the same day I clean my pkg cache

Find Command not working in some PDF documents

I am running Windows 7 64-bit. I recently downloaded Acrobate XI. I attempted to use the FIND command in a recently downloaded document and it searches the entire document, never finds the word I was looking for. I opened a PDF I downloaded last week and the FIND command worked appropriately. Can anyone help me solve this problem? it is very frustrating.

Is it the same document where Find worked earlier, but not now?
Note that Find can only work on text documents; it does not work with scanned documents, unless Acrobat has performed text recognition on the scanned image.

My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

I need version 3.6.16 for an at home online job. I am unable to find it anywhere from a secure source. Is there a way to get a link to download it? The ChaCha Toolbar only works with this older version. Thanks!

I need the older version 3.6.16 for my at home based job for ChaCha. Their toolbar only works with this version and they say it is more compatible with this. And I have not been able to find a secure link to download this older version. Can you give me a secure link or is it possible to download this older version securely?

If you only need Firefox 3.6 for just one thing then you may be better off using a portable version of Firefox as it will not impact your Firefox 6.0.2 install. You can install it on hard disk or on a usb flash drive. Firefox 3.6.22 is the current security update as 3.6.16 is old.

Quick Find only works once in a Firefox session

Suddenly, "Quick Find" only works the first time I type in a Firefox session. From the second time onward, the Quick Find bar no more appears. I tried clicking on the "/" key, but no good.
I have tried un-check and then check again the "Seacrh for text when I start typing" option. But no good, either.
How can I get it fixed?

Have you seen
* [[searching within a page#w_quick-find]]_quick-find
Try using the single colon ' instead of the slash /
I also note you may still be on Firefox 9, so it may be worth updating to the current firefox 11. <br/>There is also an old article
* [[quick find bar opens when typing in text fields]]
Try Firefox in [[safe mode]]
* no need to make changes in the first window just click on continue.
* if problms continue then whilst in safe mode also ensure you are only using the defult theme, and disable all plugins.

Command Windows.open only works once

Hi all,
Iu2019m using javascript command window.open to open a new browser window from a html link webui and is working fine.
The issue I have is this only works once. If you close the window that you had opened, and click again in the link it doesnu2019t work. It only works if you call another link before. It seems there is a kind of cache in somewhere.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Fernando.-

I've just updated OS to 10.10.1 and Finder keeps trying to open and then closes every 2 seconds with the message Finder is not Available. If Safari is opened full window it immediately closes and will only work with window smaller than maximum.

HT1657 I rented Heminway's garden of Eden. Film only works for 3 minutes. It is very difficult to find help . I feel this fraudulent itunes behavior?

I rented the film Heminways's Garden of Eden. It only works 2 - 3 minutes . My card has been already charged.
Can someone please fw to an official itunes staff ? .
Apple / itunes websites are very difficult to navigate regarding contacting staff for purchases / itunes rentals that dont work.
This feels like fraudulent behavior.
Please advice
Thank you

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
