Control key combination to activate Repair HD in DiscUtility

I can't remember the key combination to Repair Disc-HD in Disc Utility. Not Repair permissions.
If someone has the answer, please let me know.
Thanks!!
P.S.
Also, wonder if there is a way to update to Yosemite before a failing Hard Drive Fails.
Thanks again!

Why can't you just click the Repair button in disk utility?
Are yo getting an error message that says Yosemite can't be installed because disk can't be repaired? If so then try booting into Recovery and repairing the disk
OS X: About OS X Recovery
If that is not successfully you will have to replace the HD and then install Yosemite

Control key (^) combined shortcuts does not work on mac book pro

All shortcut combinations with the control key (^) do not work. I´m using Mac Book Pro 13 (late 2013) with Os X Mavericks 10.9.4

The Logic Board is the Main system board. In the Windows world better known as the Motherboard. Except with Apple Mac computers the CPU and the GPU are Soldered to the logic board and if it is a Retina screen model the RAM is also Soldered to it.
So replacing the Logic board is like replacing the compete system and costs accordingly.
But there isn't much else you can do if you can't get that switch unstuck. Or just go without sound from the built in speakers. They aren't that good anyway.

Control key combinations in Keyboard Shortcuts

I want to use the Control key plus letters, such as Ctrl-H, for shortcuts within Keyboard Shortcuts. I appreciate that such combinations are normally used by EMACS but I fail to understand what's happening in the Keyboard Shortcuts section of my Keyboard panel in System Prferences. It allows me to enter the Control key plus letter as my required shortcut but the shortcut never works. Any other shortcut, using other modifiers, even in combination with the Control key works fine. Now I have other utilities, such as FastScripts and Spark that allow me to use such combinations, so why can't they be used in Keyboard Shortcuts?
If anyone else has this problem and knows of an answer it would be much appreciated!

Well, the Keyboard Shortcuts panel doesn’t show the warning triangle as shown for other conflicts. Shouldn't the panel reject such key combinations if they're not available? Instead it shows them as being OK. I would have thought it reasonable to use such key combinations in non-EMACS applications anyway. Also, why is it that other utilities make it possible to use them? Most odd. I'll just have to use other methods I suppose!

Control key combination stopped working

I use [control]- and [control]+ on the number pad to zoom the text in and out.
For some reason, [control]+ on the number pad no longer works. It does, however, work using the number keys at the top of the keyboard.
I have tried starting Firefox with no extensions loaded ... no joy. I have tried creating a new profile under my user account ... no joy. I have system administrator privileges.
When I launch Firefox using the Full Administrator's account and password, all the keys work.
I'm using Firefox 22.0 on top of Windows XP Professional.

This is driving me nuts.
The key combination does not work in either Firefox or Adobe Reader when I'm logged in as myself (with Admin privileges). When I login as Administrator, I do not have the problem.
I had to reformat my computer and reinstall all software a couple of days ago due to another problem. Interestingly, until yesterday afternoon, the key combos worked in both my account and the Administrator account. Sometime yesterday afternoon while reinstalling all the software, I lost the key combo on only my account again.
I checked the registry on both my account and the Administrator account ... no difference ... no joy.
If this happens in both Firefox and Adobe Reader, it's gotta be because of one of the pieces of software that I installed yesterday afternoon ... right???
[quote]
Can you think of any external software that might have captured that combination globally for some purpose (e.g., screen recorder software hotkey to start a new capture)?

Oh, I don't use any screen captures or hotkeys. It must be something that I'm not aware of.
Thanks.

Control key not working after repair

I took my macbook in over the weekend to the genius bar for them to look at the display hinge, from the paperwork it looks like in addition to replacing the display they also replaced the logic board and the wifi card.
I got the laptop home and the control key is not working. Resetting PRAM and NVRAM doesn't fix the issue, nor does fiddling with keyboard/universal access settings.
Is this a hardware issue? Do I need to make another trip to the genius bar?

Hm-m, I got exactly the same problem, got the logic board replaced today, and at home discovered that the control key is not working. Have you found the solution?

Can not start up on my Macbook pro. All I get is a grey spinning wheel. Tried all the Startup key combinations and nothing works. I reset the NVRAM and nothing. I booted with start up disk , ran disk repair and all is ok. Tried to re-install OS but when I get to designating drive its blank. When I go to startup disk there is a "?" mark. When I restart under startup disk search for a drive it still comes up with nothing. Before I got the grey spinning wheel I had a locked screen. Could not move curser or click on anything. Finally just shut down. Thank you in advance for any help!

Shouldn't still have a 'beachballing'... if the drive is being found and the system is trying to boot from it but is having problems, I would suggest looking over ds store's user tip - Step by step to fix your Mac.
It's likely either something corrupt in your system files or a failing hard drive. But follow ds's steps until you find the cause of the problem.
Good luck,

Control-Up/Down-Arrow key combination does not work anymore

Hello,
I have a problem that occurred in the last week, not sure if it happens due to 2 security updates that came in via Mac OS X software update. I am unable to assign Control-Up-Arrow or Control-Down-Arrow anywhere in applications! Right and left arrows are working fine.
Examples:
1) in Xcode Preferences, try to assign Control-Up-Arrow to any item in the menu. It doesn't work for me, it's as if I hadn't pressed that key combo. But I am able to assign any other key, Control-Right-Arrow, for example.
2) in Logic Pro 9, I tried the same in the keyboard shortcuts dialog. Control-Left/Right-Arrow are working fine, but Control-Up/Down-arrows cannot be entered.
3) at last, I wrote my own little dummy test Cocoa application in Xcode, and I assigned Control-Up/Down-Arrow to 2 menu items in Interface Builder, and assigned some action. The action did not work when I pressed the shortcut. But it does work with Control-Left/Right-Arrow. Also clicking the menu items with the mouse works, even when configured to control-up/down-arrows.
I checked Universal Access in system settings, and mousekeys is off.
I installed these sw updates last week: Xcode 3.2.4, Security Update 2010-005 + 2010-006. Was anything changed about the key combinations?
Could anyone confirm or deny my findings? It used to work before the sw update. What could have possibly happened to Control-Up/Down-Arrows?
Thanks for any help, it's appreciated!

It turned out that the Control-Up/Down-Arrow shortcuts were taken by the Spaces app - even though Spaces was disabled! The problem was fixed by enabling Spaces and disabling it again.

Control-Space Key Combination not passed to Emacs

I just set up Solaris 10 update3 (x86) and discovered that Control-Space is not passed through to the Emacs application. Control-Space may be set as a keyboard shortcut, but when it is not set, the application doesn't receive it. The application receives practically all other keystrokes.
I tried with the Emacs on the Companion CD, as well as the one that you get when you run pkg-get. No difference. How to figure out where this key combination is going? xev shows the individual components being captured.
I am using the Java Desktop.

Control Key activates Caps Lock in wmii-3.5

I have an odd situation occur only when using wmii-3.5. Whenever I press the Control key, the Caps Lock Key is toggled. I'm using the wmiirc file that ships with the wmii package and have not made any changes to it. I don't have this problem in fluxbox or xfce. I looked at the wmiirc and there doesn't seem to be any config there that would lead to this. Any ideas?
Thanks!

The wiki page for wmii says to put 'setxkbmap -option ctrl:swapcaps' in your .xinitrc which will swap the ctrl and caps lock keys. Remove that line and restart X.

Control Key/Mouse Selecting

I've recently updated my OS X software to 10.4.8 and have noticed a bug with the update. When trying to "label" a folder or item with a particular colour using the "Control" key and mouse combination, the usual drop down menu that should come up no longer does and the screen flips out as if the finder has been relaunched. I now have to go to the "File" menu to select the "Label" selections. I've run a diagnostic; permission repair and disk repair with everything being OK. This bug applies to all user accounts, and other iMacs that have been updated. Can't say how it applies to laptops or towers.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You have a bad contextual menu item. Maybe some previously installed extension that is not compatible with 10.4.8
Look in the "Contextual Menu Items" folder in "Library" at the top level of your disk.

How to get Multiple Key Combinations

Hi,
I am trying to get the event for multiple key combinations, ie some thing like "*Ctrl + I + M*" or "*Alt + A + S + D*".
For two key combinations ( like Ctrl+I or Ctrl+M) i am able to get, but for more than two keys combinations, can someone give an idea how to get it.
I tried with both KeyCodeCombination and KeyCharacterCombination.
Below is a quick example to check for the key combination demo.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyCharacterCombination;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyCode;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyCodeCombination;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyCombination;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyEvent;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class KeyCombinationDemo extends Application {
     Stage stage;
     Scene scene;
     StackPane root;
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Application.launch(args);
     @Override
     public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
          this.stage = stage;
          root = new StackPane();
          root.getChildren().add(new Label("Enter any Key"));
          this.scene = new Scene(root, Color.LINEN);
          stage.setTitle(this.getClass().getSimpleName());
          stage.setWidth(600);
         stage.setHeight(600);
         stage.setScene(this.scene);
         stage.show();
          final KeyCombination keyComb1=new KeyCodeCombination(KeyCode.I,KeyCombination.CONTROL_DOWN);
          final KeyCharacterCombination keyComb2 = new KeyCharacterCombination("M",KeyCombination.CONTROL_DOWN);
          this.scene.addEventHandler(KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED, new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
               @Override
               public void handle(KeyEvent event) {
                    if(keyComb1.match(event)){
                         System.out.println("Ctrl+I pressed");
                    }else if(keyComb2.match(event)){
                         System.out.println("Ctrl+M pressed");
}Thanks in Advance.

Sai Pradeep Dandem.

Hi John,
Thanks for the prompt response.
I tried the way you suggested and it worked well !! Thanks :)
But, still i am expecting a direct way to handle this. :p
Anyway here is code which i modified accordingly
final String keyCombination1 = "_ALT_E_O";
final String keyCombination2 = "_ALT_E_P";
final String keyCombination3 = "_CONTROL_H";
final StringBuilder key = new StringBuilder();
this.scene.addEventHandler(KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
     @Override
     public void handle(KeyEvent event) {
          String codeStr = event.getCode().toString();
          if(!key.toString().endsWith("_"+codeStr)){
               key.append("_"+codeStr);
this.scene.addEventHandler(KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED, new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
     @Override
     public void handle(KeyEvent event) {
          if(key.length()>0){
               if(key.toString().equals(keyCombination1)){
                    System.out.println("Key Combination 1 pressed");
               }else if(key.toString().equals(keyCombination2)){
                    System.out.println("Key Combination 2 pressed");
               }else if(key.toString().equals(keyCombination3)){
                    System.out.println("Key Combination 3 pressed");
               key.setLength(0);
});Thanks & Regards,

What can I do to prevent the control key from not working in the future?

Background:
I bough an macbook pro about 1 year and 3 months ago and after 9 months of usage my control key stopped working for about an hour or two.This happened every time I turned on or awoke my mac from sleep (lid down).I sent it to an authorized apple service center and they replaced the keyboard.Everything was fine for about 4-5 months when the same thing happened again, ctrl key stopped working but this time not when turning on my mac but at random times and for random intervals.I sent it again to the service center but they told me that this time it won't be for free because my 1 year warranty has expired.I should mention that in European Union and Romania (the country where I am from and from which the mac was purchased) the law is that any electronics device sold has to come with at least 2 years of warranty.Apple seems to ingore this law.
Anyway, after long conversations with apple uk on the phone they agreed to pay for the keyboard but not for the labor which was 70 eur ($100).It's not much but my 2 year warranty should have covered it.The sad part is that I have no guarantee that it's indeed a keyboard error and not something else, this might happen again in 4 months and I doubt this time apple would agree paying for the keyboard (which is 150eur) ($215).
I should also mention that before calling apple uk I tried apple's romanian number (listed on their site) and it didn't work on the 3 phone networks that I've tried (2 fixed and one mobile) which led me to believe that apple support is in fact a big joke.
Suffice to say that I will no longer purchase any apple devices or software, I regret purchasing mac os x lion just a week ago, when I will no longer use it because I intend to sell all my apple gear (timecapsule, iphone4, macbook pro) and buy stuff from companies that value their customers and respect their contracts.
My questions are this:
1) why does apple ignore EU and Romanian law?
2) what can I do to prevent this from happening in the future
3) can I request that my macbook be more thoroughly inspected? I suspect the keyboard is not the main problem and it will soon happen again as it happened two times already.
4) can I do something for the repair labor charge to be waved? It is illegal in my country to ask for one in this scenario...

Everyone reading your posts here is just another MacBook Pro user. We're all volunteers, not Apple employees. No one here can speak for Apple.
In my personal opinion, buying Apple products in a country where Apple has no stores and no corporate presence is a risk that the buyer takes knowingly. I don't think it's a wise risk, and I don't recommend that anyone take it. A small percentage of the products sold anywhere are going to have problems, and it makes more sense to buy an inferior product that can at least be serviced locally than to buy a superior product that may have to be sent thousands of miles for repair if anything ever goes wrong with it.

Activation of Bank Control Key field (P0009-BKONT) in IT 0009

Hi,
We got a requirement to activate Bank Control Key field (P0009-BKONT) in IT 0009 for the Countries Barbados, Dominican Republic and Trinidad & Tobago.
For activating this field, we copied a new screen for each country for IT 0009 and made the field P0009-BKONT as Standard in T588M (Screen Modifications). Updated the feature P0009 also.
When checked IT 0009, Bank Control Key is not found. Again, we have added the entries for these countries in table V_T521A (Bank details: Relevance of special fields) by selecting Control Key as Relevant.
Still no luck. Bank Control Key is not seen in IT 0009.
Can someone help me by providing solution how to activate field P0009-BKONT for the above countries. Thanks !!

Hi Sai,
You mean system uses this new screen but you don't see the field on it?
If this is npt the case and system does not select the right screen check the feature P0009 in PE03.

Omid

Vendor Bank Details - Bank control Key for Spain

Greetings,
Can anyone tell me how to maintain the bank control key for Spain in the vendor master data? I can see that Spain uses the key to check the combination of bank number and bank account number, and it looks like the validation points to table BNKAIN. However, where do I get the two digit bank control key (from the vendor?), and how do I maintain it in the table (this table is buffered)?
Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated, and I will gladly assign points for helpful responses.
Thanks!

Hi Eric,
Thank you for your quick response. My problem is not location of the field itself, but rather on what data to use to populate the field. There is no input help for this field, and the system issues an error message every time I try to populate the field. We ran a trace and discovered that the system appears to be running a check against table BNKAIN. I think perhaps I need to maintain that table, but cannot figure out how to access the table to maintain the entries. Do you know how to maintain this table, or is there a specific bank control key that should be used for Spain?

Confirmation Control Key Value in vendor master overwritten by Info Record?

Dear all
In the standard 3rd party processing, we will use S/O to trigger PR and we then convert PR to PO. And when PO is converted, Confirmation Control Key (CCK) Z01 maintained in Vendor master purchasing view will be adopted for all the items in the PO, and in the purchase infor Record for the combination of material & this vendor, we do not maintain any CCK value there.
However recently, the system behaves in such a way that the CCK value does not automatically show up in PO item anymore. And I have been thinking can it be the fact that the blank value of CCK in info record will overwrite the Z01 value in the CCK of vendor master? But if so, why all the past PO I have checked does not have CCK value maintained in info record but the CCK was able to appear automatically?
An interesting fact is that if I create the PO manually by enter Vendor with CCK value Z01, Org Data, account assignment S and Item category S (both for 3rd party processing), and then the material and hit ENTER, the CCK value Z01 will appear in PO Item level under tab: Confirmation.
However, once I enter the PLANT value in PO Overview, seem like the Empty value of CCK in info record will overwrite the existing Z01 value.
Please advise if it is how the info record CCK work to overwrite? Also, how do I get back to the stage where the info record CCK will not overwrite as I do not want to spend time to update all the info record CCK to have Z01.
Thanks

Dear Manohar Raju Kanchanapally
I do not understand why this OSS note SAP Note 909885 - ME21N: Confirmation control key not
from vendor mentions the following:
Symptom:
When you create a purchase order using Transaction ME21N, the confirmation control key from the vendor master is not used, although it is maintained.
Cause and Prerequisites:
The symptom occurs if no confirmation control key was maintained in the existing purchasing info record.
Solution:
Implement the attached correction instructions as a modification.
It is totally contrary with the General Rule that the most specific will always prevails, meaning if I do not maintain CCK value in the Info Record, it will overwrite the CCK value I maintain vendor master when I create PO using same vendor, material, purchaisng org and plant!
Please help!
