Controlling "play" with the keyboard spacebar

In Logic 9, I was able to use the space bar button to play a track, regardless of whether I was working within the tracks area of main window or whether I was working within the lower right area, after having opened up a track in the piano roll.
In Logic X, I am finding that I cannot use the spacebar in this same way: if I am working within the piano roll editor, I need to select back to the track within the tracks area of the main window, in order to activate the functionality of the space bar as a "play" button.
There must be a workaround. Has anybody got a solution?
Thanks,
David

Hi,
While I do not have any solutions to this problem, I wanted to make sure that you guys know that you are not the only ones annoyed by this. I am positive there has to be a setting somewhere in the OS to set the appropriate flags to revert to the old appearance for system dialogs.
Anyone?

How to control scrubbing with the keyboard?

The headline is already the question: I would like to use the keyboad to fast forwad in songs. In the 'itunes a-z' there is only an info how to do this with the mouse. Arrow Keys do not seem to work for this, they only switch to the next or previos song, or album. Ah, I am using utine s10.5.2.11 with WIndows 7.
Any idea?
Thanks, Alex

Here are a few more to try:
setxkbmap
xkbset is the one I currently use, you can find at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xkbset/
keynav might also be worth a look. I haven't tried it though. It can be found in the AUR also.

When I buy a pre order song how do I get it to play with the rest of the CD?

When I buy a pre-order song from i tunes, and then purchase the CD the song was from it will not play with the rest of the CD.
Example: Tori Amos's new CD Unrepentant Geraldines
I purchased the single Trouble's Lament when it was released, before the CD.
I just purchased the CD and the song should be #2 on the CD, but its not there, it is listed separately, and will not play with the CD.
Also, other issue... Free U2 CD, it says its in my Library when I clicked on the CD add in the store. It's nowhere to be found in my library!! I really would love to listen to it since I have several of there CD's and am a big fan
If anyone can help with either of these issues , I would greatly appreciate it.

For the single, if you select the track in your library and do 'get-info' (control-I) on it and select its Summary tab on the popup are its details (e.g. album name and artist) the same as for the other tracks on the album ?
For the U2 album you should be able to download it into your library by ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences - it should then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for downloading (downloading the booklet for it this way may not work, you may get a 'corrupt file' message when trying to open it, though that might have been fixed by now).
Or go to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage and you should be able to download it from there.
A third option is to sign out of your account (Store > Sign Out menu option), find the album in the store and then click on its free 'price' button - you should then be prompted to sign back in and the album should download.

Select discontiguous rows in a table with the keyboard

I am using jdk 1.3.1 and have tried this on 1.4 as well. I don't seem to be able to select discontiguous rows in a table using the keyboard. I can Ctrl-click with the mouse to do this but can't find a way to do this with the keyboard. I searched and found somebody asked this same question before and the reply was it works in 1.3.1. I am not seeing this. What could I be missing? The Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down keys don't do anything and neither does the spacebar.

I'm pretty sure you can't do this using the standard JTable interface.
You might be able to write your own keyboard listener and fake focus events for up&down arrow, but making this work seamlessly with JTable seemss like it would not be trivial.

If you are using a Bluetooth keyboard on your iPad device, you should take advantage of the keyboard shortcuts for quicker access to copy, cut, paste, undo, redo, and other commands.
Command + C : Copy Selected Text
Command + V : Paste
Command + X: Cut Selected Text
Command + Z: Undo
Command + Shift + Z: Redo
Command + Delete: Delete everything to the left of the cursor on the current line
Option + Delete: Delete the word to the left of the cursor
Command + Up Arrow: Go to top of document
Command + Down Arrow: Go to bottom of document
Command + Left Arrow: Go to beginning of current line
Command + Right Arrow: Go to end of current line
F1: Dim screen
F2: Brighten screen
F7: Back one song
F8: Play/pause song
F9: Skip song
F10: Mute
F11: Decrease volume
F12: Increase volume
Eject button: Show or hide onscreen keyboard

You need to speak to the developer. They should have some sort of contact link on their iTunes page. This is just a user to user tech support forum, no one here has any sort of control over apple or what developers do.
The game developer may also have some sort of fix on their site, so look there.

Moving a windows with the keyboard

Hello all,
I've had my mac for a while, and I absolutely love it! I've really increased my productivity by using one, and it makes Java development so much easier since the system is BSD Unix based. Unfortunately, I've run in to a problem that is incredibly frustrating, and I can't find a solution, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been using the an application called swf player to view video from Youtube. It has several windows in the application. Unfortunately, the player control window has somehow jumped "off" the left of my screen. When I perform FN+F9 to show all my windows, the player control is displayed, and I can click on it. However as soon as I do it is moved back off the left of my screen. In windows, you could right click on a running application in the taskbar, then click "move" and move it with the keyboard. In the dock, there is no option to "move". I'm sure one exists, I just can't find it anywhere. Can someone tell me how to get this windows back onto my desktop without uninstalling the application?
Thanks,
Todd

I just took a look at the preferences file for this program:
http://www.swf-mac.com/swfplayer.html
I had moved the Control window to my second monitor, and sure enough there is an entry in the plist file for that location. So I trashed the plist file
"/Users/francine/Library/Preferences/com.eltima.SWFMoviePlayer.plist"
Relaunched and the Control window was back in its original position. Of course, you will lose your playlist and recent items....

How do I use Panorama / Tab Groups with the keyboard?

Yes I know that CTRL-SHIFT-E opens the panorama window, and then I can use the mouse to organize my tabs into groups.
But how do I do this with the keyboard?
I've [http://lifehacker.com/#!5719596/switch-between-tab-groups-in-firefox-with-a-keyboard-shortcut read] [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1705714 that] Ctrl-`should move me through tab groups. That doesn't work for me on my Danish keyboard. (Where the ' and ` chars are weird. But is how they are on a valid standard Danish keyboard) I've tried changing the keyboard to USA and then moving through tab groups works fine.
In short: Pretend I don't have a mouse. How do I use Panorama / Tab Groups?

Sorry. These are both known bugs:

and

My iMac 24 can no longer be paired with the keyboard; it doesn't recognise any keyboard at boot up, even the one it is paired with. Can anyone help, please?

Thank. Simon

Brian - The batteries are fine and there has only every been one keyboard paired with it. We have tried my MacPro keyboard as well, and it will not even recognise that there is a discoverable keyboard nearby.
Thanks, Simon

How do you bookmark to a folder with the keyboard?

Since getting in to the habit of better organizing my bookmarks, I have bookmark folders that are up to three levels deep.
How can I save a bookmark to a specific folder without having to use the mouse or click "Choose..."?
It would be nice if there were a way to just type it, with folder suggestions coming up.
I.e. I would be able to hit Ctrl+D, type the name, hit tab, and type Classes\303\HW to have it bookmark to that folder. Right now, I can only bookmark to recently used folders with the keyboard.
I know this can be done with the mouse, but I am looking for a fast way with the keyboard, possible with a plugin of some sort.

I will check out the add-ons, see if there is anything that would make it a little faster, but the '''ctrl+d, tab, tab, space combination''' should be good enough for now, I'm surprised I missed that. I knew about the five most recent, but that wasn't enough for me.
Thanks for the help!

How do you select a single image with the keyboard?

I can use the "/" key to deselecting the current photo but how do I select the current photo with the keyboard? Usually the space bar is used for this but that displays the image. Is the only way to select the current photo by using the mouse?

OK, now that the question has been clarified....
Pressing and holding the Shift key as you move through the grid with the arrow keys will individually multi-select them, but that breaks down if you want non-contiguous selections, i.e. lifting off the shift key to skip a photo will cause all previous selections to be lost when you use the arrow key to advance. I think the only way for non-contiguous selection is ctrl-click.

The "Apple ID Password box along with the keyboard keeps popping up on my iPad and stays there. I have changed my email address on my iMac but my old one still remains on the iPad. Also changed password. Nothing works! I can't use the iPad like this!

The "apple ID Password" box along with the keyboard pops up when I turn the iPad on and it stays there. I have changed my email address on my iMac and also changed my password. The old email address is still on the iPad. Anyway, I can't use the iPad because can't get the apple id password box to go away. Thanks for any help!

This is an older photo but the sleep and home buttons are still in the same place on all iPads. The home button is the round button at the bottom of the iPad and the sleep button is also called the on/off button and it is at the top right corner of the iPad.

Hi bubbles213,
The best way to move information from one iOS device to another is to back up the device using iCloud or iTunes (or both), and then restoring the new device from it. This article will walk you through the steps:

Hi there,
It sounds like your purchased content is not transfering via a flash drive. It may be easier to re-download this contnet directly from iTunes. Take a look at the article below for mor information.
