Command-Tab & Dock not working right
I'm talking mainstream apps not showing up in the cmd-tab display. Usually Finder and one other are there, the rest not.
In the Dock, apps which have been successfully quit still show their open dot until clicked on, whereupon, the dot disappears. Dock problem is constant. Cmd-tab problem is intermittent, about 50% of the time.
Try using F8

Command - Tab shortcut not working
My command - tab shortcut stops working after a random period of time and I have to restart my MacBook to get it working again. Any idea what could be causing this keyboard shortcut to fail? I tried killing and re-running the Dock but that does not fix it. A refuse to reboot my Mac everytime it happens (this is not Windows...) Any ideas on what might be causing the problem?
Actually I just researched this further and found a solution here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1830738&tstart=0
+Open the activity monitor and look for something like the "ScreenSaverEngine" - the process should be marked as "not responding" (written in red)+
+End this process and Command+Tab and other shortcuts will work again!+ -
Starting today, the Command + Tab function is not working (this usually allows you to switch to another application with ease). I have tried changing the settings under "System Preferences," "Keyboard and Mouse," "Keyboard Shortcuts," however I have had no luck in doing so. When I click command + tab, all it does is switch from one text box to another on the same page, for example, it would switch from wherever I am on the page to the "Google" search box in the top right corner. If anybody could please help that would be great. Thank you so much.
Hi Kelbertou, and a warm welcome to the forums!
If you're using Safari check Safari>Preferences>Advanced to see if you have Press Tab to Highlight each Item on a Web Page checked.
Have you tried the other Command key+TAB?
If that doesn't help, I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files. -
Snow leopard tab command and Dock not working with spaces
When I have spaces enabled, it wont switch to the desktop with the app running when I try to use dock, tab command. I tried repair permissions in Disk Utility. Tried rebooting. Tried autologin. It won't do anything when I click on the icon in the Dock, if its not in the present window. Of course if I turn off spaces, then its fine. I tried turning spaces on and off.
What is the fix?you need to escape the backslash which is a special character in apple script. that means putting an extra backslash in there.

When I try to open a new tab using the "+" on the toolbar, nothing happens. Even trying to use the cntl t to open a new tab does not work. To open a new tab, I must right click on a hyperlink. how can I correct this? Using Firefox 3.6.18
The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons -
Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?
Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?
It opens up a blank page. The only way to make the link work is to click on the navigation bar in the new tab and press enter to reload the link.Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. <br />
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
If not, see this: <br />

happens all the time. The tab "tab" on the right of the open browser tab does not work and neither does the menu File/New Tab.
Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

Command key not working right in several applications
All of a sudden, some functions are not working right, i.e., in PhotoShop when I select the Zoom key I get a minus rather than the usual plus. In Date and Time, I started getting a 24 hour clock. If I go there in System Prefs and change to 24 hour clock, then the readout on my menu bar is for 12 hour clock. Sometimes when I use Command-Q the machine asks me if I want to close all programs rather than just the one I'm attempting to leave. What is wrong?
Hi n,
I have no idea if this might work, but I'd reset the PRAM and SMC. -
Click on obiee dashboard tabs is not working
Hi,
One remote user using cisco vpn to access OBIEE dashboards. everything is all right but when he click on dashboard tabs is not working. I tried with firefox 3.6.0 and IE 8 both have same problem. we dont have this problem within the network. I dont think it's a firewall issue because everything else is working fine. we dont have any custom java script in obiee dashboards. Is it a browser problem? does any one else got this problem before?
Thanks
Jay.Hi Jay
Yes Its browser issue. Please make sure the patch updates of IE are updated and i do have the same problem with IE 6 when user remotes (or) use citrix
One more important point is we have made the dashboards available directly instead of residing in group folder. If you have Dashboards under group folder, give access to that Dashboard directly instead of Group folder
Eg: Groupfolder A contains A1,A2,A3....A10 dashboards. Give acceess to A1,A2 instead of groupfolder A
Please mark it Helpful or correct if this solved -
Since updating to 706 the sound on my ipad2 is not working right--on videos or music. There is distortion and some kind of interference at all times. Any ideas?
Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
If "No," first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -
The multi-tabs is not working. I have the correct options set for multi-tabs. But when I open Firefox and try to add a site from Bookmarks it uses the same tab that is opened.
Right click a tab and you will get the option to bookmark all tabs. Or use keyboard '''Alt + B''' which opens the old style menu. You can make changes to Firefox, as explained in this post: [/questions/799856#answer-155765]

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.

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. -
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. -
The print tab does not work in mapquest
The print tab does not work in mapquest
You are on the right track to getting the printer installed regarding firewall but perhaps it has saved in a different port on your computer than can communicate correctly. Search Devices and Printers on the Windows 8 PC so you can pull up the printers' folder. Do you see the Officejet 6500 in here (meaning have you installed it again)? If you do not see it here, check your Print Server Properties and make sure the driver is not in here either, if so remove it. Restart the Print Spooler. Make sure you uninstall it completely and shut down the PC (see video link on how to uninstall HP drivers and restart the print spooler in Windows 8 if needed).
Remember to re-install the Full Feature Software and Drivers (for your OS and region) when the PC reboots. Try the test print and if it does not print:
1. Right-click on it and select Printer Properties.
2. Under the Ports tab make sure you see the printer's IP address here or a serial number. Sometimes the HP network -rediscovery ports can be tricky.
3. When the printer is high-lighted in this window, click Add Port.
4. Select Standard TCP/IP and follow the rest of the prompts in the Wizard to enter in the printer's current IP address.
5. Try to print.
If this does not help you, you may have other computer problems.
Have you ever installed a printer on this PC before?
What is the name of the anti-virus software you use?
Are you on a server, proxy, or other elaborate wireless setup?
Answer those questions for me please if the above information does not help you. I will do my best to assist.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

Sound Blaster X-FI Pci Express Front Panel Not working right Win7
ASound Blaster X-FI Pci Express Front Panel Not working right Win7
Please read carefully
Part number Part SB040
Hello,
I have a fresh install of Win7x64 OEM. First, I want to say that I have "AUTOMATICALLY MUTE SPEAKERS" UNCHECKED under the Headphone detection tab. I have tried "Automatically Enable Headphone Settings" checked or unchecked. No difference.
As soon as I plug in headphones to the front panel connector , the speakers in the mixer say "disconnected" (see below) and the SPDIF becomes the default output. There is no way for me to change this. And there isn't any sound coming from the headphones when plugged into the front panel. (the mic front panel works fine)
I am using the nati've Win7 drivers for the card. Apparently the Win 7 drivers on your site are older than the nati've ones.
This worked fine in Windows XP 32. Any ideas.Ok guys this is how I fixed the problem on my X-Fi PCI-Express. Open the Creative SB X-Fi Volume panel. Mine is set in game mode and I have 5 vertical sliders for Line-In /Mic, MIDI Synth, Digital-In, and the last one will say one of three things either Digital-In, Microphone, or Mirophone FP. At the top of the?slider there is a tab which brings up a drop down menu. Mine was default set to Digital-In, I switched it to Mirophone FP (tried Microphone first and it worked but the FP sounds better for me) and cranked it all the way up and my problem was solved. Very frustrating one though as there is no documentation that led me to the fix it was just playing around with it till I could figure it out.
I hope this at least helps some of you out.
