Command-R not working on Start-up

I need to do a clean install of Lion on my iMac and I'm using the Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard. But on Start-up using the Command-R function, it still takes me to the Login screen. I've tried it with another bluetooth keyboard, but still no solution. Is there any way to fix this? Or do I need to go out and purchase a Wired Keyboard?

Yes, I have - it works for me. I follow the instructions in this article as well as waiting until the keyboard is actually recognized by the computer (after the green light flashes on/off):
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3273
It is also sometimes easier to achieve this when booting up rather than restarting.
@MichelX - not sure why your method works for you; I've tried that many times (before following Apple's instructions) and it never worked. Powering/pairing up a wireless keyboard before it can be recognized because the computer is powered off seems to be to no avail, but as long as it works for you, that's great.

  • Some commands are not working nor in illustrator nor photoshop, any advice better than Adobe?

    Illustrator is not fuctioning at 100%, some commands do not work ( eg - command open, nor place etc ) and same with photoshop....

    pcmyhre,
    You may try the list, possibly starting with item 7) in 5), which is a list of the usual suspects, which may disturb and confuse Illy so she fails to do even simple things.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
    In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

  • Command Sets not working on ACS 5.1

    I'm running ACS 5-1-0-44-3.
    I have everything running properly on ACS 5.1.  I'd like to implement command sets for selected users and groups.  Under Access Policies -> Device Admin-> Authorization I have Command Sets selected.  The cisco provided is DenyAllCommands.  I have this command set running on all groups and every groups is still able to issue any command they wish.  I've also created a "show_only" command set that I've issued one group and they are still able to do conf t or any other command.
    Am I missing something?
    Do you need to reference the command set name under the shell profiles?
    Its my understanding that all you have to do is reference it in "Authorization" in the rules under Device Admin.
    I can understand a custom command set not working because of user error but DenyAllCommands should work.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    I have already re-patched the ACS
    Stopped and started services.
    And it seems like Command Sets is the only not referenced in the logs

    I do it a lot 
    could you paste screnshot of your command set?
    I've recently met another issue,
    with my command set definition as below (as you can see its very simple):
    almost every show is blocked (as suspected) but not "show run" (which is strange for me)

    Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V
        -H             Displays the SQL*Plus version and the
                 usage help.
        -V             Displays the SQL*Plus version.
    Usage 2: sqlplus [ [<option>] [<logon>] [<start>] ]
      <option> is: [-C <version>] [-L] [-M "<options>"] [-R <level>] [-S]
        -C <version>   Sets the compatibility of affected commands to the
                 version specified by <version>.  The version has
                 the form "x.y[.z]".     For example, -C 10.2.0
        -L             Attempts to log on just once, instead of
                 reprompting on error.
        -M "<options>" Sets automatic HTML markup of output.  The options
                 have the form:
                 HTML [ON|OFF] [HEAD text] [BODY text] [TABLE text]
                 [ENTMAP {ON|OFF}] [SPOOL {ON|OFF}] [PRE[FORMAT] {ON|OFF}]
        -R <level>        Sets restricted mode to disable SQL*Plus commands

                 be 1, 2 or 3.  The most restrictive is -R 3 which
                 disables all user commands interacting with the

        Specifies the database account username, password and connect
        identifier for the database connection.  Without a connect
        identifier, SQL*Plus connects to the default database.
        The AS SYSDBA and AS SYSOPER options are database administration
        privileges.
        The /NOLOG option starts SQL*Plus without connecting to a
        database.
      <start> is: @<URL>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
        Runs the specified SQL*Plus script from a web server (URL) or the
        local file system (filename.ext) with specified parameters that
        will be assigned to substitution variables in the script.
    When SQL*Plus starts, and after CONNECT commands, the site profile
    (e.g. $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql) and the user profile
    (e.g. login.sql in the working directory) are run.  The files may
    contain SQL*Plus commands.

    Hi
    I had the same issue on linux a few weeks back. What tuned out was, when you install the Oracle app svr it does not include the system paths by default.
    The path where mkdir is located may not be visible to the app.
    Try to hardcode the path for mkdir as /bin/mkdir .... and seee if that works.
    If the above statement works then add that path in the paths variable in default.env file located in $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server directory

  • External command is not working in File Receiver Adapter

    Hi,
       I have tried to copy the file which is mentioned in my File Adapter (Receiver) to 3 different folders thru OS command. The purpose is to save time. I have created one CC for Source(File) and one CC for target(File). After the target file is created, I want to copy this file in 3 folders. For this I have written one batch file in my system.
    File Name: copy1.bat
    @ECHO OFF
    COPY %1 C:\TEST1\arch_t1
    COPY %1 C:\TEST2\arch_t2 
    COPY %1 C:\TEST3\arch_t3
    DEL %1
    The command which I entered in the Receiver CC (File Adatper is)
    Run Operating System Command After Message Processing
    Command Line: C:\FILES\copy1.bat %F %f
    Timeout(secs): 60
    Terminate Program After Timeout - Check box is selected.
    But, this external command is not working. (because the target files are not created in those directories C:\TEST1, C:\TEST2, C:\TEST3)
       I did this scenario by refering the Michael'w weblog:
    /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2007/02/08/xipi-command-line-sample-functions
       In this blog, he has also given how to troubleshoot external command. I tried this also. It is not working.
        I use Windows XP OS. XI 3.0 SP 18.
       Friends, Could you kindly tell why this external command is not working? What could be the problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind Regards,
    Jeg P.

    Hi, Jeg.
    As the note says, please check the java Runtime.exec behavior
    with the proper user.
    If in doubt, check if the command can be successfully run through
    the Java Runtime.exec(...) API. Also note that the command is run
    as user "<sid>adm" (Unix) / "SAPService<SID>" (Windows).
    So, Could you check the following(very dirty one!) Java in your
    XI server and check if it works? For simulating %F, create a test
    file C:\FILES\test.txt whatever the content is.
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class ExecJava {
      public static void main(String args[]) {
        try {           
          Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
          Process proc = rt.exec("C:/FILES/copy1.bat C:
    FILES
    test.txt");
        } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
    Good Luck.

  • Why export audio to movie command not visible and detect cuts command is not working in 64bit mode?

    Does anyone know why export to audio disappear from menu in 64bit mode?

    I tested on several machines (brand-new iMac, brand-new MacPro with 10.8 OS, MacPro with 10.6.8),and everythig wotks in 32 bit mode. As I switch to 64 bit mode detect cuts only put one marker at the begening of film.
    I also noticed that Firewire output option in 64bit mode is not avaible.
    Is there a certain film format that I have to use to make it work? I tried DV PAL, but I had ther same result.

  • 6120 classic:My voice commands do not work

    Please help.
    Don’t know if I'm just being stupid or there is something not right with my 6120c.
    My voice commands do not work.
    If I press the button for a voice command, it says that there are no voice tags saved.
    If I go into the voice command application (Which should create the voice tags on opening), I cant playback the voice tags, its give a 'voice system error' error message.
    Is there something that is not set up properly? In the voice command settings, the synthesizer is 'on'?
    Also, I don’t have voice tags on my contacts??
    I read somewhere that this is a firmware problem and the phone should be taken back to nokia. Is this the case?
    Somebody please help.

    I formated my nokia n6120 using the code *#7370#. It deletes !everything! (settings, aplications...), but I have no voice sytem error now.

  • Power book G4 Leopard 10.5.8. File sharing preference checked but not working after start up until unchecked and the rechecked?

    I hope the title is enough info, please ask. In the mean time I have created an applescript to open preferences/ sharing and uncheck then check the file sharing box. This works but I would obviously prefer it just work normally. I have no corrupt preference files. Perhaps a file is missing? Thank you.

    Greetings Kwnez
    I'm not up to your level of expertise yet. I'm networking and file sharing too, on my Mac Powerbook 1.33 GHz PowerPC G4; OS 10.5.8 Lepoard. At the public library I found by asking the clerk a book Authored by David Pogue. "Mac OS X Leopard the Missing Manual". It (the book) has helped me ask better questions. I'm not saying that your question "
    Power book G4 Leopard 10.5.8. File sharing preference checked but not working after start up until unchecked and the rechecked?
    is hard for me to understand, I went to system preferences and looked at the sharing box. when I clik it it opens up and the first thing I see is my computers name, and under that i see, " Computers on your local network can access your computer at: ...-powerbook-g4-15.local"
    What I'm saying is "Are we on the same Page"

  • Shift+command+b not working for bold

    I just updated to cs6 and my "bold" key command is not working. (shift+command+b on mac) I am using a font that has BOLD. I can select bold from the character palette and it works fine but the key command will not work. I checked my key command list and is there by default. It should work. It worked fine on cs5 for me. I even tried holding the fn key but no dice. Any ideas? I have to bold many many items so I can not possibly use the character palette....thanks.

    "Nope" the first word of my response, was to your question. It means No. Meaning "No I did not copy a custom set". I am using default set.
    I wonder if some other app has taken that kb shortcut. Nothing happens when I press it though....and I wouldnt know how to find out.
    edit - problem solved. Even though the font says that it has a bold face I guess that it does not. Bold still works fine for other fonts. Sorry for your time.
