Command + S is not working on my iMac

My iMac can't utilize any order like command + s, c, option, etc while booting.
And I remember last time I want to go into recovery mode was by using Terminal.
Is there any solution for my iMac to solve the problem and work correctly?

If it asks for a password, then you likely have disabled those features with a firmware password.
If you don't think you set a firmware password, the try booting into Recover by holding down Cmd-r.
If that boots, the choose Terminl from Utilities menu.
Type resetpassword and hit return.
Select hard drive and username, then follow the prompts to reset your coconut password.

    Why will my upgraded version of picasa not work on my IMac???HELP
    It will start to load and then error message and cuts off. ( Picasa is photo editing software)

    Picasa is not an Apple product.
    You should ask the developers why they have not updated their application.

  • New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ?

    New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ....

    Because you require Lion to run it. You should not have installed it.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
                 Identifier 5,1 or later.
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How do I paste a screen capture? Edit-paste or command-V do not work.

    How do I paste a screen capture? Edit-paste or command-V do not work.  Tom

    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

  • Hi guys, I have a big problem! My bookmark shortcut entry(command D) does not work anymore and do you know by any changes how to undo resetting of Safari? Thnx a million :)

    Hi guys, I have a big problem! My bookmark shortcut entry(command D) does not work anymore and do you know by any changes how to undo resetting of Safari? Thnx a million

    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.

  • Final cut will not work on my Imac

    I've gone from a 5 year old mac book to a brand new Imac. My final cut express worked on my old mac book but is not working on my Imac. It is saying I need an AGP graphics card, what is this and can I add one to my Imac? Live type and soundtrack are working just not the actual final cut. Please no confusing computer terms as I don't understand half the stuff that is said in this forum! Thanks, Sammy.

    I have the same problem. I can't load and save any movie - shortclip. I have tried several ways without succes.
    I just bought FCE 4.0 and it's new to me. Nothing works for me. I'm still working in Quicktime.
    My camera is Panasonic Lumix TZ7 - AVCHD. I can see my clips in preview but when I put into Sequence a "red hand" shows me "NO DATA". What am I doing wrong? I have also tried different setups i Preference.
    (I have the book and DVD from Apple Pro Training Series - FCE 4, but when I follow the instructions it doesn't match what happens on my computer.

    There is no Exposé in OS X Mountian Lion, Apple removed it for "Mission Control" and yes it is a confusing mess.
