Ctrl + Shift + T doesn't work anymore. History -- Recently Closed Tabs still works. Other hotkeys still work.

I am using Nightly-Elm 21.0a1 Recently Ctrl + Shift + T stopped working. History --> Recently Closed Tabs still works. Other hotkeys also still work.
I already tried Safe Mode, didn't work. In a new profile it does work.
This guy (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/853883) seemed to have the same problem. The solution offered was to transfer some files from a fresh profile. I am not sure what files to transfer. I tried the prefs.js, but that didn't help.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Ctrl + Shift + T doesn't work

I am using the new Firefox Developer Edition as a stand-alone on Ubuntu, so I can still use the "old" version, too.
Everything seems to be working fine, as in I am logged in and setup sync.
However, I cannot re-open a closed tab with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + T, nothing happens when I try.
When I click on "About Firefox Developer Edition", it shows these details:
Firefox
Developer Edition
36.0a2 (2014-12-09)
Firefox Developer Edition is up to date
You are currently on the aurora update channel.
There is already a question just like this one
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1022757#question-reply
but the only answer does not solve it.
"browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo" is set to 10
"browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo" is set to 3

IMac freezes & Time Machine doesn't work anymore

Hello,
For several days now my trusty iMac (two years old) keeps freezing without a recognizable pattern. Programs like iTunes, iPhoto or maybe even the Finder just stop working and display only the rotating ball - the only thing left to do for me after that is to manually terminate that process or (in the case of the Finder) to restart the whole iMac. I'm really clueless as to where this behaviour suddenly comes from, up until about a week ago the iMac worked perfectly. And now something like this happens every single time I start it.
Another thing that doesn't work anymore is Time Machine. My last automatic backup is from September 17th. After that it just stopped working. Every time an automatic or manual backup is initiated it just says "Searching for backup volume" but doesn't find it, even after several hours of looking. The Time Capsule itself works perfectly, no errors whatsoever.
My iMac is up-to-date, I also already ran the disgnostics of the hard drive program - everything seems to be fine. Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance,
Paul

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Editor doesn't work anymore on my Mac Pro...

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Editor doesn't work anymore on my Mac Pro, running Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. I don't know why, because Photoshop Elements has always worked properly before today.
Quite disappointing. I installed the application in May, 2014, downloading it from the App Store, and now I would like to re-install Photoshop Elements.
Can you help me, please?

Pinching in Safari doesn't work anymore..

In ML it was possible to pinch and get an overview of your tabs.
As I discovered recently this doesn't work anymore.
Pinching to get tab overview doesn''t work anymore and pinching to zoom in/out either.
Any solutions or thoughts on this issue? Perhaps involving the recent Safari update in ML?

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Printer doesn't work anymore.

I have a lexmark (p3120) printer, but it doesn't work anymore. I tried to install it again, deleted the printer preferences, download the available drivers, update my mac os x to 10.4.11 (with de download of the apple site, the combo_update) and repair the disk utilities.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions after re-install, then reboot again.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

Show Desktop shortcut doesn't work anymore...

I've setted SHIFT+F10 as show desktop shortcut, but it doesn't work anymore... in fact no shortcut works anymore, COMMAND/SHIFT/OPTION+F1-2-3-etc.... nothing works!
someone knows why?

I'm having the same problem. Show Desktop works if I assign it to Shift, Control, or whatever, but it doesn't work when it is assigned to an F-key. Shift/Control/Fn + F-key doesn't work either.
Is there a plist file that I need to trash somewhere?
Thanks

[LAVA Cross Post] CTRL+SHIFT+ Shortcuts sometimes not working in LabVIEW

Cross-post from LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/
See the above post for more information - here's a synopsis:
CTRL+SHIFT modifiers are not working while running LabVIEW in a Parallels 7 virtual machine. This problem affects both LV2011 and LV2012. I'm not certain that this is a LabVIEW bug - could be an issue with my virtual machine environment or it's configuration - except that CTRL+SHIFT modifiers work in other applications on the affected VMs. It's just LabVIEW that appears to ignore shortcuts with the CTRL+SHIFT modifiers.
Any ideas?

Efi Express doesn't work anymore so I can't print

I Use Efi Express as RIP and colormanagement software to print to my Epson Pro 4900 printer. Now I need prints and this doesn't work anymore.
I installed Maverick so that is most likely to be the problem, because just before I did this the pritner and software worked fine. I installed Efi Express again but I keep getting a message aboutr a system extension that isn't properly installed.
I looked in the system folder for this .kext file, but it doesn't exist at all.
Please help.

We use the Fiery Express driver with our Canon copiers that use the optional EFI print controller and have no issue with this driver on 10.9. In fact, at this point in time, it is the only EFI driver we have for 10.9.
The Express driver plugins should be located in /Library/Printers/efi and the PPD will be in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj and is called Fiery Express. So trash these files and check the EFI web site for the latest version of the driver.

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues. I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion.

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues.
I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion. I now want to fix the underlying problem.
I'm not running any weird background processes and in my energy saver settings I've tagged "put the hard disk to sleep when possible:, "allow power button to put computer to sleep" and "automatically reduce brigthness". All pretty standard.
Is there anyone who can give me some pointers ?

Today I solved the same problem for my iMac running Snow Leopard. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3008791#15947706. The method may help you, too.
For me it was the DynDNS Updater preventing my iMac from automatically entering sleep mode.
To my knowledge the cause of this sleep problem can only be a peripheral device or a process. So I suggest to first unplug all peripherals and test whether that's the cause. If not, I suggest to terminate one process after another and to test automatic entering of sleep mode after each. Start with user processes; continue with system process if necessary.
At least that's the way I found the offending process. Fortunately, I was able to change the configuration of that process to allow again automatic entering of sleep mode.
Good luck!

Su doesn't work anymore but sudo works

Hi all,
I normally use my standard user account but when I'm installing with macports I routinely "su" into root to do things.
Today I went on my machine and noticed that "su" wouldn't work. Before anyone decides to tell me that I don't need to use "su", I realize that but I use it for my own purposes.
From the system log I am seeing this each time "su" fails:
su[1376]: pam_authenticate: Permission denied
What is interesting is that doing a "sudo su" works, and I'm able to do all of my admin duties that way.
I have a feeling something messed up my bash profile but not totally sure. Has anyone else run into this issue?

Hi all,
Thanks for the help on this issue.
I'll clarify: I'm using this install as a server and this is why I have 2 admin accounts on it. The original account is my own; the one I created when I first installed OS X. I then enabled System Admin (root) so that is the other admin account. After installing MacPorts I have been running the system as a multi-user webserver. I occasionally log in as root to do maintenance and upgrades. I have found that it's easier to use the SysAdmin account in certain situations because of permissions issues and ease of installing upgrades.
I'll often log in under my username and then su to root. Recently (yesterday) I noticed that "su" didn't work anymore when I used my normal username.
There are sometimes that I will log onto the machine as System Admin and usually via the terminal (console) I can log in as any of the other accounts by doing
su <username>
this also doesn't work anymore. I get the error:
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied
I have two servers set up this way. One works the way it should, the other one has this problem. The only difference I can see is in roots bash profile but I'm not sure why they are different on each machine.
Also when logged in as System Admin, I should be able to turn off "allow user to administer computer" on my regular account but it's grayed out. On the other similarly configured machine, under the same conditions, I can. I'm not sure why I can do it on one and not the other.
I've tried turning off enable root via Directory Utility but that didn't fix the issue.
