Creating shortcut in OSX Lion Mountain isn't workingHi

Hi
I went to system prefrences and created an application shortcut for system prefrences but whatever kind of shortcut i assign
to it it doesnt work .. i choosed F3 Command + ` and many others so what Im doing wrong ?
Regards

What specific shortcut is it? Sometimes there are simple issues like the use of three dots "..." versus an ellipsis symbol (which is a single-character representation of three dots) used as trailing characters in a menu command, so if you use three dots when the command contains an ellipsis (or vice versa), then the assigned hotkey will fail.
There at times may be other punctuation nuances that prevents the character from working.
Lastly, if the chosen hotkey is already in use by the application (even in a hidden manner), then it may not work. Try using a hotkey with all the modifier keys (Shift-Control-Option-Command) to ensure uniqueness in the hotkey you choose, at least to test the situation.
Finally, sometimes hotkeys simply do not work. Even though a command may appear to be assignable, it may simply not work with Apple's hotkey assignments, especially if others seem to work when the desired one does not.

  • How do I change the cmd w (close window) shortcut on OSX Lion?

    Hi,
    I have a macbook air running on OSX Lion, and I can't find the way to change the shortcut cmd+w...
    I need those keys for another application without quiting it every now and then, and I can't add or modify any of those controls. Can somebody help me with this?

    Thank you for the clarification. Customizing the folder icon,
    open your picture you want on the folder with Preview. command -A will select all the picture, command- C will copy.
    Open the info pane of the folder without opening the folder, highlite the icon in upper left of the info pane (command- i to open info pane,)  and command -v will paste it.
    Not all formats work if my memory serves me.  PNG files ( like a screen shot) certainly do.

    Hi,
    This might help:
    Adobe Forums: Finding and customizing keyboard shortcuts
    In Lion you will need to find a way to get into the Library folder which is hidden. One methode would be to use the Goto command and paste the thread: (your main harddrive name)/users/userfolder/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Premiere Pro/6.0
    If that doesn't work right away then reduce the thread back until your in the hiden Library folder and then look for a Premiere Pro folder.

    I am having the same problem with Safari. Won't open Facebook and various other pages. I have tried zapping all the cache and cookies and everything. Also I think I unistalled Rapport with a command line in Terminal. Worked for three seconds. Even just getting to this page was not easy. YouTube wasn't working, no videos played but now that seems to be resolved. Very odd. And frustrating.

  • Is there a list of valid system root certificate authorities for a vanilla OSX (Lion, Mountain Lion) installation?

    I'm looking for a current list of valid CAs to compare to those in system keychain.  thnxs!

    You can dump all of the root certificates with:
    security find-certificate -a -Z /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
    Here's a script I wrote a while ago as part of an attempt to mitigate CAs that I didn't want to trust... I work in a government environment, so it seems silly to trust CAs from China and Russia, as well as an assortment of other oddball countries.  Maybe it will help you find what you're looking for:

  • How do I install Mac OSX Lion client on the new Mac Mini Server?

    If Apple would have had the quad-core processor option for the non-server Mac Mini, I would have just bought that, but I wanted the quad-core. I do not, however, need the server software. I found this article talking about how to disable the server functionality, but this article highlights how little that method actually does.
    Ultimately, I just want to do a clean reinstall like I used to do prior to Lion. This process used to be so easy. Create a disk image of the desired operating system on USB, option boot, and you're done. Now it appears that Apple purposely impedes this process, as every time I boot from the USB I created with Mac OSX Lion client, I get a circle with a line through it. Is there any way around this restriction? Editing firmware, editing .plist files, etc?
    Very disappointed that Apple is limiting what used to be such a simple process on Hardware and Software that I paid for but now can't get the functionality I want.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but what I don't think you can do what you're asking for.  Closest thing is going to be disabling the server components like it says in the article, but again, that doesn't do much.

  • OSX Lion connection proble on NAS

    2TB LaCie ETHERNET DISK XP Embedded EK
    Hi
    I just installed OSX Lion 10.7.1
    First thing I see. I can't connect anymore to my NAS
    It's a Lacie 2TB Ethernet with embedded XP
    I saw on the net that it is a worldwide problem
    I saw several solutions
    I tried them, none works.
    I took contact with Lacie, their answer.
    We don't support that model anymore.
    I didn't find any solution for this model
    Can somebody help me out.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi!
    Sorry for kicking this,
    but I have a permanent solution for this problem, it requires no changes at the client side, which I usually prefer.
    You can actually log in to the Lacie XP Embedded system and upgrade the ExtremeZ-IP software it uses, it has a 25 user OEM version you can upgrade. Just make sure you have the latest installer ( ExtremeZ-IP 8.0.2x195 ) ready on the NAS (upload via FTP) to install.
    The trick is to log in with Microsoft Remote Desktop as an administrator and visit the "Firewall" section. From here you can go to the exception screen and click "Add Program" From here you can browse to "Desktop" and right click on "My Computer" and choose "Open" from here you can launch any installer and program you wish to install.
    So you need to upgrade the ExtremeZ-IP software and change the Bonjour Service to C:\Program Files\Group Logic\ExtremeZ-IP\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe after installation. Reboot and everything should work just fine, even with OSX Lion / Mountain Lion.
    For safety, please make sure to backup the C:\Program Files\Group Logic folder and clear logs.
    Good luck!

    That has never been a feature of Mac OS X, but I believe there was some kind of third-party software that could add that capability.  i don't recall what its name is, but you must have had that installed, and it either isn't installed anymore (perhaps removed as incompatible?) or is not working properly in Mountain Lion.

    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When its download finishes, close the installer and open Lion Diskmaker to create a bootable USB drive with Mountain Lion.
    2. Press Option key while your Mac is starting, select the external drive and open Disk Utility.
    3. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the drive.

    any ideas ?

    Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.
