Control (Ctrl) and Function (Fn) keys are swapped on ProBook 4530s. How can I restore this?
I have HP ProBook 4530s which was working as expected i.e. Ctrl keys and Fn Keys were working correctly. Now somehow these two keys are swapped and I want to restore them so that Ctrl Key work as Ctrl key. Please note that I am running Windows 7 on this machine. How can restore this?
Just a quick update. I had the same issue with CTRL and FN swapped on my ProBook 6560b. I tried many possible solutions:CTRL + FN+ ALTUninstall keyboard deviceDisable keyboard deviceLook for setting in BIOS to swap the keys. This solution - remove the power supply and battery - solved my issue. There is clearly a wierd bug in many of these HP laptops.

I have os x 10.6.8. When I try to update it says there are no updates for my system. I want to get iCloud on my Mac Book Pro and one of the requirements is 10.7.2 how can I get this done?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can purchase Lion from the Mac App Store. You will need to meet the requirements for Lion, but the Mac App Store will tell you whether your Mac is capable of running Lion or not. -
When I download PDFs on my macbook I am given the option of saving them to iCloud and in Preview they are listed under iCloud. How can I then view them on my iOS devices? Help please.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't share preview files to an iOS device. There are several other options for pdf's such as Adobe Reader or iBooks. -

I cut and pasted a description from the Internet. It posted as a link in iPhoto. It seems to have made a global change--all my descriptions are now blue, underlined, and Times Roman 12 rather than Arial white. How can I get this back to the default?
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

When using iTunes on my iMac, I use my Delete key to delete a song and I get a pop-up. This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" (or Cancel) button, and so I need to use my mouse. How can I do this only with keyboard?
Huh.. Interesting. I went back to check these proceedures and found there is a difference between using the return key or the space bar as the action command.
tabbing the blue ring moves the selection and then spacebar takes that action. The return key takes action of only the blue collored button.

You are apparently both using the same Apple ID. Change her to a different Apple ID and this will stop.

I just got a new iphone and we are hooked up to the same apple ID in this family, and his Ipad Have been receiving my texts. How can I fix this?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages. -
My computer has been stolen and I don't have af back-up, and all my pitures are on my apple TV - how can I get them back to my new PC?

You can't unless (assuming you have the Apple TV 1) you remove the drive and connect it to a computer. -
I am having some issues with email. My iphone shows 4 emails as unread yet when I look thru all my emails, both on my iPhone5 and my outlook there are no unread emails. How do I clear this up on my phone?
Email does not and has never synced between the iPhone and the computer. It sounds like you may have had your PC set up to use POP3 for e-mail, which will download e-mail from the server and delete it, causing it to vanish from your phone if the phone was set up for IMAP. IMAP provides full synchronization between the server and clients. What you delete on one will vanish from the others. This is the preferred method of managing e-mail as it prevents e-mail from being downloaded, for example, on a PC and making it inaccessible on your phone.

I have an ipad 3 that has wifi and for some reason my youtube, facebook, and app store app are all not working. How do i fix this?!!!
Hey there FlamingTurd!
If you are having issues connecting to the App Store on your phone, there is an article here that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
We also have an article that deals with troubleshooting apps you have downloaded from the App Store and installed on your computer. That article can be found here:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Finally, if neither of those articles resolve the issue, you may need to restore your iPad:

I have an iPhone and use Roadrunner as my email server. When I open RR it gives me 4 choices, inbox, drafts, sent and trash. I would like to add saved, how can I do this. I contacted RR and they said it is an Apple problem to solve.
Roadrunner is POP email, and the feature you are looking for
is a function of IMAP email. Roadrunner has not announced
any plans to make IMAP available. If this is important to you,
get a gmail account (which can be setup as IMAP) and configure
your Roadrunner account to automatically forward emails to the
gmail account.
