Does problem with shortcut announce a bigger issue?

I posted this question in another forum as well, but maybe the answer is awaiting here.
I added shortcut (in the System Preferences, Keyboard & mouse) for saving the highlighted part of text in Safari in a new textedit window. One of our forum fellows helped me out with this, and it worked well for few days, but all of a sudden just stopped working. I added a ShiftAppleZ, and now when I press it, it just gives me the warning sound. The new shorcut previously appeared in the System Preferences shortcuts list, but now it is gone.
It is not so much that I cannot live without the shortcut, but my question is more why did it happen and does it mean something is corrupt in my system?
Thanks,
Zo

  • Constant "Problem with Shortcut" Every Time iTunes updates

    Sorry to vent, but this really bugs me.
    Ok, this can't be hard to fix and isn't hard for ME to fix when I update iTunes, but this is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY annoying.
    Here's the issue. Every time iTunes updates itself, it invalidates every Shortcut for the executable. I get "Problem with Shortcut" Windows Window and which says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
    This happens EVERYTIME iTunes updates itself, which seems very often.
    It is really, really annoying. And it ONLY happens with iTunes (no other software - for example Firefox doesn't do this), which says to me that Apple can't be bothered to make sure that the path to their new executable is the same as the old when they do the update. Actually, now that I look at it, it looks like it is somehow deleting the path in the existing shortcuts when it updates, which sounds like a bug.
    Any decent usability testing would find this and quickly fix this, but this happens on EVERY windows computer I have EVERY time iTunes updates itself, and it has been there for at least the last 5 upgrades, so I know it is not a 1 off thing only I am seeing.
    Please, please, please fix this in your next patch.
    Thanks.

    Add me to the list of the angry. Safari on Windows does this too.
    Apple apps are the only ones I've ever seen on Windows to do this. I don't even understand how/why it happens - does it take the time to find all the shortcuts (which are separate files it would have to search your HD for) and deliberately break their paths?! If Apple are going to make windows applications, it'd be nice if they swallowed their pride and learnt the windows platform and its norms. 99.999% of other software vendors have figured out how to make shortcuts that work...
    The worst thing about this is that the error message (admittedly, I think it's a windows message) gives the impression you have to reinstall iTunes! A quick Google search shows that a fair few people think that's the solution.
    *If you're getting this problem: there's no need to uninstall or reinstall iTunes!* the problem is with the shortcut only, not the program. To fix it, find a working shortcut to iTunes (as mentioned above, there's normally a fresh one in your start menu somewhere) and drag it wherever you need it, then delete the old one. If you can't find a working one, browse to "program files"->"itunes" on your hard drive, select itunes.exe, go to File->Create Shortcut. A new shortcut will be made in that folder, that you can put wherever you like.

  • "problem with shortcut/fatal error during installation" on other user accts

    I-tunes installed and works with no problem in original user, but when another user account attempts to open Itunes, program attempts to install/configure again, then results in a "problem with shortcut / fatal error during installation" message. Setting the other users to administrators doesn't help, nor does un-installing/re-installing, etc. I am at least the 4th person with this problem (see Burthomp earlier today,Jan. 17 and Richard 1018 on Dec. 29). This problem started with Itunes 7.5, and is still a problem on Itunes 7.6. I have a standard Dell setup, Model E510. There must be a lot of people with this problem. Apple, are you working on this? Anyone else have a suggestion?

    I ran into the same problem, but I think I have the solution. First, the problem isn't with iTunes, its an access problem with Windows XP. I tried to run the iTunes program from the Program Files, and I received an "Access Denied" error.
    If you try to open the Program Files in My Computer\Local Disk(C:) and receive an "Access Denied" Error, that is why you are receiving a "shortcut problem/Fatal Error during installation".
    Here is how I corrected it:
    1) Shut down the computer and restart it in "safe mode". I had to look up how to do this, but I pressed F8 when it was restarting and I highlighted the "safe mode" and started the machine. The icons will be large, but ignore it.
    2) Open a user that has administrative access -- I used the one user that has access to itunes.
    3) Go to My Computer\Local Disk (C:) and right click on the "Program Files" folder. Select "properties" at the bottom.
    4) Go to the Security Tab
    5) At the top you should see one or two users that have access to the Programs File. One will be the user that itunes works on. Click Add, then click Advanced, then click Find Now.
    6) At the bottom should appear a list of users. Select a user on which itunes doesn't work. Click Ok, then click OK again.
    7) Give that user full access to the Program File by putting a check mark in the Full Access box.
    8) Repeat for the remaining users.
    9) Restart computer in normal mode.
    10) Go into a user that had problems and click the itunes icon, and it should run.
    It worked for me, I hope it works for you.

  • "Dialog box "PROBLEM WITH SHORTCUT"

    When my T40 p starts up I keep getting the following message, over and over again until I close the system tray IBM Connect bar. 
    "Dialog box “PROBLEM WITH SHORTCUT”
    The drive or network connection that the shortcut IBM Access Support.lnk refers to is unavailable.  Make sure that the disc is properly inserted to the network resource is available, and then try again. "
    Help!

    You'll need to find your iTunes folder. It's usually located on your main hard disk under My Documents/My Music/iTunes. Copy this whole folder to another hard drive (if possible) or burn it on a CD (probably will take more than one--depending upon how large your library is) or DVD. Once you have a good backup of your library, try downloading and reinstalling iTunes.

  • Problems with shortcuts

    Strange thing happening to the shortcuts that appers in the menus.
    Instead of showing the actual shortcut, it displays a question mark instead of the key.
    Example: for saving, which should be "CTRL + [S]", it appears as "CTRL + [?]".
    It looks like this:
    I tried to delete my .KYS file, tried to uninstall then reinstall Ppro, the problem is still there.
    Do you have any idea what the problem might be?
    Thanks.

    >I can't really switch my OS language can I?
    To be honest I have never tried.
    I suspect that this issue is one for Adobe Tech Support. Your system is doing something I have never seen before. Please do report back your findings so that it can be documented.
    One thought is to temporarily change a shortcut mapping in the keyboard customization window and see if that fixes all of them.
    Cheers

  • Problems with shortcuts on 5800 homescreen

    I've had my 5800 xm for a few weeks now and initially it was great. As soon as I got my phone I updated the firmware to v 21.0.025. About a week ago or so the 4 shortcuts simply disappeared. When I touch the space where the shortcuts should be I see a blue highlight as if I am opening an app but nothing happens. This is annoying but I can still access these apps by going through the main menu. Two days ago the same problem arose with the contacts and the dialler. I can, however, see both icons for these but when I touch them they highlight blue but do not open. Again, I'm not too bothered about the contacts because I can access them through the main menu but I cannot open the dialler. This means that the only way for me to call a new number is to save it first as a contact. I have re-installed the same version of firmware and this has made no difference.
    Has  anyone else had this problem?
    Does anyone have any advice or know how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

    You could try a hard reset, but you should back up your data with Content Copier within PC suite first!
    By pressing "Green", "Red" and "Camera" button at once during power up of the phone, you´ll perform a hard reset of the phone which will erase all the data.
    Note: This´ll only work on version V20...and up.
    Let us know if this solved your problem!
    By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

  • Problem with shortcut attachment in email

    Hi Workflow consultants,
    I have 2 problems using the program RSWUWFML2.
    Iu2019m using RSWUWFML2 program with the following data as input data and scheduled it to run every minute in background to send email for the work items.
    Job suffix: 2
    Task: <our respective task>
    New Work Items Only <checkbox>
    One Message per Work Item
    Work Item Execution <checkbox>
    Message Class for Subject:      SWU_NOTIF     
    Message Number for Subject:      2
    All <Radio button>
    Problem1:
    This is a PR approval scenario. Whenever a PR is released at a particular level, the next level approver will be intimated via email to release from his side. The email contains the attachment u201CExecute Work Item.SAPu201D. When I click the attachment I get the following messages before getting the logon dialog box.
    Screen 1:
    Not all data for SAP GUI shortcut is available.
    System description and GUI start parameter are unknown.
    Enter the missing data.
    After giving OK.
    Screen 2:
    Screen title: SAP shortcut properties
    Title: <blank>
    Type: Transaction
    Transaction: *swnwiex p_action=EXECUTE; p_wi_id=000000660172; DYNP_OKCODE=ONLI
    System description: (Other system)
    System ID: DEV
    Start parameter: <blank>
    Client: <displayed correctly>
    User: <respective approveru2019s user id>
    Password: <disable>
    Language: EN
    When I select the system description manually as my development system and given OK, then the logon dialog box comes as expected.
    Problem2:
    The program RSWUWFML2 which is scheduled to run at background every minute sends the same email every one minute to outlook.
    But when I run the program manually, it sends the email only once. And when I execute it again immediately after receiving the email, it says u201C0 work items were read. None were sentu201D .
    Please help me on what to do to get the logon dialog box once the shortcut is double clicked from email.

    Hello,
    Problem 1)
    In a previous question about this in SDN, someone (sorry, can't remember who) answered:
    "Have you or the user logged into the SAP GUI before? If not, have them login in. Our problems occured
    with new users that never logged into the SAP gui and so the user profile was never loaded with the ini
    file."
    Please try that.
    Problem 2)
    Are you sure it's running with the same variant in the background?
    What if you try every 5 minutes instead - maybe a minute is too short and it gets mixed up.
    You could also try copying RSWUWFML2 to ZRSWUWFML2, inserting an infinite loop and then attaching to it in order to debug it in the background.
    regards

  • Problems with Shortcut keys

    I have a project originally created in version 4.  Opened it in version 5 and there are several slides with short cut keys that do not work.  The keys are Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V.  These slides are showing how to move cell contents in an excel spreadsheet.  I can change them to another short cut such as Ctrl+C and it works to move to the next slide but that is not the correct combination needed in the project.  Anyone have an answer to this problem?

  • Problems with shortcuts appearing in trash

    The problem I'm experiencing is that when I download anything I hear the trash can noise and it changes to full. When I open the trash can I notice that there are shortcut copies of Macintosh HD & Network. This also happens whenever I move something even just moving a desktop icon. Does anyone know what may be causing this. I've scanned for viruses - none found/ I ran System Optemizer X - didn't fix it.

  • Problems with linksys EA2700 and software issues

    Hello
    Once I setup the EA2700 wireless router, I was able to setup my Iphone and Ipad and use the internet.  Problem is no one else can.  I setup the conncetion and use the password on their devices but to no avail. I tried to access the tool software and it keeps coming up with browser not supported,load the newest version of windows, which is strange since it had no issues when I first installed it.  I am using Windows 7 Home Premium and have Internet Explorer 11.
    Any help is appreciated
    James

    Hi jcargile. That’s seems odd, because the minimum system requirements for windows web browser is Internet Explorer 8 or higher. You may try using a different browser (Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome) and then access the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi page again. Once you’re in, you may play with the wireless settings of the router. You can try using channels 11, 6, 3, 9, or 1, pick the one with the best result. By the way, what is the security set on the router? Because most of the time the security set on the router, play a big part.

  • What am I doing wrong with this filter (counter/frequency issue), probably another newb question.

    I extracted the part of my VI that applies here.  I have a 6602 DAQ board reading a counter for frequency, using a Cherry Corp proximity sensor.  Getting a lot of noise and errant ridiculously high readings.  Speed of shaft which it's measuring is currently 2400rpm with one pulse per revolution so 40hz. 
    Trying to use the express filter VI to clean up the signal and ignore anything over, say, 45hz and under 35hz.  No matter what setting I choose I continually get the  20020 error, Analysis:  The cut-off frequency, fc, must meet:  0 <= fc <= fs/2.  I know this relates to sample period somehow, but for the life of me I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. 
    I used this VI without filtering on bench tests with a hand-drill and got perfect output every time.  Now it's on the machine and being erratic.  Any help here will ease my stress level significantly, thanks.
    VI attached
    Still confused after 8 years.

    Hello Ralph,
    I'm not sure about mounting your sensor to your rig, but I can provide a couple ideas about the filtering. Depending on the type of noise, the digital filters on the PCI-6602 could help eliminate the behavior you are seeing. If the noise manifests as a "glitches" or a bouncing signal, you could use another counter with a minimum period to help eliminate the noise. This concept is discussed in greater detail in this KnowledgeBase. I noticed that you are using NI-DAQmx; the practical application of the digital filters on the PCI-6602 in NI-DAQmx is discussed in this KnowledgeBase. A more detailed description of the behavior of these filters is provided in the NI-DAQmx Help (Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>>NI-DAQ) in the book entitled "Digital Filtering Considerations for TIO-Based Devices".
    I also wanted to comment on your original post and explain why you were receiving error -20020. For convenience, I have copied the text of the error code below.
    Error -20020 occurred at an unidentified location
    Possible reason(s):
    Analysis:  The cut-off frequency, fc, must meet:  0 <= fc <= fs/2.
    I think you may have misunderstood exactly what the Filter express VI does. The Filter express VI takes a series of values in a waveform and performs filtering on those signals. So, it will look at a waveform made up of X and Y values and apply the defined filter to this waveform. Specifically in your application, the cut-off frequency (fc) is the Upper Cut-Off level that you specified in the Filter express VI; any frequency components of the waveform outside of the range you have defined will be filtered. The fs is the sample rate based on the data that you wire to the Signal input of the Filter express VI. In your VI, this data is coming from the DAQ Assistant. So, fs will be the sample rate of the DAQ Assistant and is associated with the rate at which points are acquired. The sample rate does NOT relate to the bandwidth of the signal, except that the Nyquist theorem tells us that the sample rate must be at least twice the signal bandwidth in order to determine periodicity of the signal. So, in this case, the sample rate of the DAQ Assistant would need to be at least double the high cut-off frequency.
    However, you are performing a frequency measurement using a counter. I think this is where the confusion comes in. For the frequency measurement using a counter, the DAQ Assistant returns a decimal value which represents the rate of the pulse train being measured by the counter. It does not return the actual waveform that is being read by the counter. It is this waveform that would be band-pass filtered to eliminate frequency content outside of the filter's bandwidth. Instead of the Filter express VI, I would recommend that you simply discard values that are outside the range you specify. I have modified the code you posted earlier to perform this operation. The image below shows the changes that I made; rather than using the Filter express VI, I simply compare the frequency to the "Low Threshold" and "High Threshold". I use a Case structure to display the value on if it is within the limits. Otherwise, I display a "NaN" value. I have also attached the modified VI to this post.

  • Problems with shortcuts when selecting file to upload in BPS

    Hi all,
    We have a problem when the user is navigating through the directories for selecting a file to upload. When the user navigates between folders it is ok but if there is a shortcut to another disc the program interprets that as a file and then generates a lot of errors in BPS.
    This worked only a month ago and the only thing we have changed is a GUI upgrade from 640 to 710. Could this be the problem?
    We are using cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog for uploading files in the planning layout.
    We are on:
    BW: 3.5 Patch 17
    GUI: 710
    SEM: 4 Patch 8
    Thanks for any help!

  • Problems with shortcut keys anyone???

    Ever since I installed CS5, I am having a problem that is driving me nuts!!!!!!!
    It happens about 70% of the time, not every time. When using shorcut keys for: save, to access tools, etc, the shortcut doesn't work unless I first click on the active window I am working on. It's almost like when I move the cursor outside of the active window area, it becomes disconnedted from Photoshop and I have to click on the actual photo to reconnect it again!! Totally annoying.  It seems like when the problem happens, which as I stated is more often than not, it happens most often after accessing a dialog box for Levels, Hue/Satuation, etc. It is so annoying and makes my workflow take so much longer. It also happens a lot when I try to use the shortcuts to run actions. The same thing happens, I have to click on the active window first before the shorcut will work.

    I'd look at what else is running; specifically whether some other program could be momentarily stealing focus from Photoshop.
    Normally it doesn't do what you have described.
    I suggest you take a close look at all the processes running in Task Manager, and the use of the free tool from Microsoft called AutoRuns to look at what's starting up on your system.
