Command-Option-H not working to hide other apps

Just got a new (refurbished) iMac, with 10.8.3 on it. Transferred everyting from my old iMac without a hitch. There's a weird thing happnening, however. Command-Option-H no longer hides others. It seems to cycle through open apps. But only some of them. So right now I'm in Crome and press the shortcut. It switches to the Finder (with everything else hidden). Then with the Finder up front, I press the keys again, and it goes to Calculator, and hides all the others. I press the keys one more time and nothing happens. But the thing is, I have several other apps open, and it doesn't cycle through those.
The machine is a 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5, with 10.8.3. I am using my old full-sized keyboard, with a wired mighty Mouse (didn't like the tiny Bluetooth keyboard it came with, nor the Magic Mouse).
I've searched and can't find a solution - heck, I can't even find anybody else having this issue.

I think I see some things I don't need to have running, like Adobe Version Cue CS2. Here's the full report – interpret away! Thanks!

  • 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.

    Can any one help me, Please!
    Many thanks!

    I have foud the solution - rather stupid. The system setting for audio input was at 70%, increasing it to 100% solves the problem!

  • Itunes not work while in other app?

    It seems my itunes is either stalling or slowing down a lot when I'm using another app on my MBP...
    all software is most current...
    this is when syncing my iphone 3g...
    is this normal?

    You're limited to what you can do in Faces view. Emailing, exporting or printing the image is not allowed. Why? No one knows for sure but there are work around's.
    If it is only one image you want to share you can right click on the image and select Show in Project. That will take you to the project where the image is and from there you can share it.
    If it's more then one image you can collect them in an album (select all the images and do New Album) or else flag each image and then go to the Flagged album and work from there.

  • TS3274 Ipad calendar won't save dates. I've tried all resets as well as sync options and it will still not work. Any other suggestions?

    Ipad calendar won't save dates. I've tried all resets as well as sync options and it will still not work. Any other suggestions?

    What do you mean it won't save date?  What exactly are you pressing and what happens or doesn't happen?
    Try this:
    Open the Calendar App and Tap Calendar at the bottom of the screen. Make sure all calendars have checkmarks, then Tap Done.  Do your events show up now?

  • 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.

  • Urgent : SSRS reports zoom in option is not working in IE9 compatability view

    Hi,
    We have SSRS reports which when viewed in IE 9 compatability view, zoom in option is not working properly.
    SSRS report have 4 charts inside a rectangle. when zoom in from 100% to 50% only rectangle shrinkes not the charts.
    Please let me know why it is happening and solutions if any?
    Rakesh Jayaram http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rakesh_ramblings/

    Hi Wendy Fu,
    Thanks for your support. Below are the steps and screenshots as per your requirement.
    /*******************Below are the steps to replicate ************************/
    This document explain IE9 compatibility issue with SSRS report (SSRS 2008 R2 and IE9)
    Tools and software used:
    Reports are rendered on Share Point 2010 server which uses SSRS 2008 R2.
    Reports are accessed using web browser IE9, IE10 ….
    Problem statement:
    To work OTHER reports compatibility mode in IE should be ON
    To work SSRS reports (mainly zoom) compatibility mode in IE should be OFF
    OTHER report is being used by customer and they will start using SSRS reports as well. While using both OTHER reports and SSRS reports customer do not prefer to keep switching between compatibility modes.
    “Browser Mode: IE9”
    Steps to reproduce Zoom issue for SSRS report with Compatibility mode is given below:
    Step-1: Select Tools menu -> Compatibility View Settings
    Below setting is suggested for OTHER users so tick as shown below,
    Step-2: On decision center select link and Open the report home page and click the link to open the report.
    Step-3: On SSRS reports Change Zoom level from 100% to say 50%. Here all charts are not moved with container frame.
    If “Browser Mode: IE8” is set with following steps then this issue does not happen.
    Press F12 and from and select IE8 as shown below.
         Press F12 again so this will set the mode and then try Zoom option it works fine. However this setting temporary and will remain for the session only.
    If compatibility mode is OFF then also this does not happen. Please see image below.

  • With 10.2 I can only use system speaker output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps. How can I set this device in FCP 10.2? (it is set in both system preferences and midi)

    With 10.2 I can only use a system (e.g. speaker) output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used without any problems previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps (some like TwistedWave) setup in the program, and others (like Spotify) using system preferences & audio midi setup. How can I set the FF400 to be the sound output device in FCP 10.2? N.B. The FF400 is set as sound output device in both system preferences and audio midi setup.

    From the fcp.co forum. See if this does anything for you.

    I have the solution! Well it at least worked for me. This is the response I got from Apple, Can you please try the following steps towards fixing your audio issue, and report back with your results?
    1. Open the application Audio Midi Setup (located in Applications : Utilities)
    2. Select the Output Tab for the current output device
    3. Select the Configure Speakers option
    4. Select the Multichannel tab
    5. Change the setting to Stereo Now mine was set to stereo but the left channel wasn't showing left. re-clicking on stereo reloaded the settings and after clicking apply it worked.

  • Download option is not working

    my nokia x6 00 ,in Nokia Store option ..download option is not working
    Moderator's note: We have provided a subject-related title to help other forum users easily view and respond to this post.

    Hi ahrar3359,
    Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
    Can you further elaborate on your concern? What exactly do you mean by "download option is not working"? Can you select the Download option? If not, can you describe it? Is it grey out? Any error message? Does this happen to all of your apps? BTW, how are you accessing the Nokia Store? Is it via the Nokia Store app or through your phone browser? If you're using the app, try to access it via phone browser to check if the same issue will occur.
    If you are using the app, make sure that it is up to date. You can update it by going to store.nokia.mobi through your phone browser. You can also try to restart the phone to refresh it. Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    You mean an image such as a scanned document?
    If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
    You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.
