Enlarge feature, combination doesn't work with wireless keyboard

Hi
When I use my wireless keyboard (I also have one with wire and numeric pad: no problems here), I can't use the feature to enlarge text and images. It works from the Safari menu and it works when in the tools bar (modified) I use the A symbol. The feature to reduce (command -) works perfectly.
I must add that the + (plus) symbol in my international keyboard is over number 1, so I tried both command 1 and command shift 1 to obtain the combination command +.
Command 1 redirects me to my first preferred bookmarked site (a fonction that is not in the menu and that doesn't interest me),
I have default keyboard shortcuts (I didn't modify anything).
I know that I can modify the shortcuts through System Preferences > Mouse and Keyboard >...
but is it normal that I can't use in the combinations the symbols that are over the numbers? Did I forget to do something? (something like the fn key in MacBooks or a preference)?
Thanks

HI boombadabum,
I understand that you are having issues with keyboard shortcuts with a custom keyboard layout.
I also understand that when you press the shortcuts that the menu blinks like it is working, but nothing actually happens.
As a work around, you may be able to map them out with this add on[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/]

  • Log on screen not working with wireless keyboard only usb KB

    Since upgrading to mountain lion from the latest version of Lion, I am not  able  to log  on  with my wireless keybord only with usb kb but  the  wireless kb  is  working  well, it  react  but no stars ** appear in the  log on password field
    So i  enter  with  the  usb kb and  then the  wireless kb  is working  well
    I put  all  keybord settings  to  default
    I reset  smc  and pram  but  same behaviour
    Any  hint  to  fix  this  ?

    I fought for it for long time. I used command-r, option key, command-option-r, option-r, everything you can imagine but it did not work. I even  shut down the imac and then tried all these combinations but it still did not work. I EVEN TRIED APPLE's OFFICIAL ANSWER TO THIS ISSUE BUT BELIEVE ME IT DID NOT WORK AS WELL. Then I deeply thought for a while and shutdown the iMac. Then I took off the batteries from the wireless keyboard. Then Waited for 5 seconds or so. Then I just started the wireless keyboard with the button on the side. It started blinking. I immediately understood that my trick is going to work. I understood the problem. While the keyboard was blinking I started the imac. Now after startup chime from apple i just pressed the option key. And guess what- THE RECOVERY OPTION POPPED UP! See, the point is after you restart or shutdown the keyboard is still kind of paired with the imac so when you start it those keys are kind of overlooked. When you reaaly take out the batteries from the keyboard the pairing is lost. When you restart the imac the pairing is established during the startup chime tone. This is precisely the moment to press those keys like option or command-r. The command-r key works only if you have imac that was preinstalled with 10.8
    I hope this saves your hours of work! I really wished that APPLE knew it. I have so much believed in this company so far.

  • IPad 3rd generation not working with wireless keyboard.

    Hi,
    I have recently bought the 3rd generation iPad. I have an apple wireless keyboard as well, but for some reason I can't get the keyboard to pair with the ipad. I have disconnected the keyboard from previous devices so they have now all 'forgotten' the keyboard. And I have read numerous 'discussions', but none of which are relevant to me.
    At first, when I was trying to connect them, the keyboard was flashing green twice really fast but was not discoverable. I then turned my MacBook Air on and the keyboard became discoverable on both the ipad and the air. But when I tried to connect the keyboard to the ipad it would do nothing. I then tried to connect it to the air and I got further, but everytime I'd type in the passcode ontot the wireless keyboard, it said there was an error. I then clicked on 'passcode options' or on the macbook air and selected the default password to '0000' instead of randomly generating one. This fixed the problem connecting the keyboard to the air. However, it wasn't fixed with the ipad. The iPad now shows the keyboard as discoverable, even when the mac is off, but when you select the keyboard from the list of bluetooth connections it prompts you to input a random password on the wireless keyboard, however, when you enter the (correct) password it immediately says 'Pairing Unsuccessful - make sure keyboard is turned on, in range and is ready to pair'. No matter what I try I can't seem to get the iPad to accept the password and there is no option on the iPad to use a default password like on the mac.
    Is there anyone that knows how to solve this issue.
    Thanks

    what kind of keyboard, Apple brand or some other?
    also what are "ten keys" - function keys, number keys?
    usually no configuration should be required once the keyboard is recognized,
    keyboard is not supposed to cause your system to freeze.

  • ITunes 10.4.1 doesn't work with my keyboard anymore.

    I used to use mmkeys.dll before to use the media keys on keyboard which is a 'Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000 v2.0' but now I can't use the media players without the iTunes in like control or whatever (not sure how to call it, but its when my iTunes is like 'in front' of the other programs I have in use, and like I can control it and stuff, sorry for my stupidity >_>).

    One of the latest updates broke media keys. Apple "fixed" it by making it so you can use media keys when itunes is the active program, but they didn't fix it for when itunes is in the background. Unfortunatley, no one needs to use media when itunes is the active window. Logitech keyboards got a fix, but everyone else is stuck until a real fix comes out.

    iPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

    At least to 10.6.8. You must do this to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later

  • Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect; status bar looks good. But audio always comes out the speaker. Thx.

    Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect as expected (with a PIN); status bar looks good and shows Bluetooth active, and I even see the iPhone displays the battery levels of the wireless earbuds. But audio always comes out the speaker. (If I plug in wired headphones into the headphone jack then audio comes into the wired headphones, as expected.) I have rebooted the iPhone; I have had it forget about the wireless earbuds, and repaired and reconnected; I have reset all network settings. Thx in advance.
    PS: I understand that more recent versions of iOS have a way to choose where audio output goes (speaker, headphone jack, Bluetooth device). Does this older version of iOS? I could not find an option or setting.

    I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
    What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

  • Quicklook doesn't work with .avi files

    Hello, i've got a little problem right here on my mac. The thing is that I used to have Snow Leopard as a OS and quicklook used to work great, it opened all the extensions I used to work with. The thing change when I format my HDD and installed a clean copy of Lion OS. Now quicklook works fine as it used to but not any more with .avi files. I remember that this feature was working great on my previous OS, and it's really important for me to find a solution because quicklook is an absolutely amazing feature of our Macs.
    I've tryed to download plugins, restoring permissions or even trying it with a guest user, but no success.
    Please help me. If you need more info about specs or something i'll be glad to give them to you.
    Thank you!!!

  • Media Encoder CS4 doesn't work with Premiere (pic related)

    Oh hai!
    I just got Adobe Master Collection CS4 and my Media Encoder doesn't work with Premiere CS4. When I try to export the file, Encoder starts normally. Then I click "Start queue" and Encoder starts loading. Loading takes almost five minutes, which is a long time, because my project is very simple. After that nothing happens, just a warning sign appears. When I click it open, some kind of log file open and it says:
    Encoding failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    And I didn't deleted anything. So what does that mean? Why that "Source Name's" path is different than my project files path? Can this problem relate that somehow?
    I have also another problem with Premiere CS4, maybe there's a link between these two problems. I can't get Premiere projects linked to open in Premiere CS4. When I right-click the project icon, and click “Open with…”, I can't find Premiere from the list. When I click "Browse", I can find Premiere.exe from my computer, but if i doubel-clicked it, nothing happens. It won't appear to the list or anywhere else. Or have I missed something? So now the project files are linked to open in After Effects. Of course I can open projects from Premiere, but how do I get them open straight from file?
    I have long experience using Adobe Premiere and this is the first time I got this kind of problems. I have also downloaded new updates for Premiere and Encoder, this didn't help. Does that matter, that I didn't installed Premiere in C-drive? However it's in my computers internal drive, I have divided my hard drive for five parts, one part contains all of my softwares. My scratch disks are in different hard drive (external), does that matter? I tried different location, but that didn't help.
    Please help, I can't do any video editing, because of this problem. And sorry for my english, ask if you didn't understand something. =)

    Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
    solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
    you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
    that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
    1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
    2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
    I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual  "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..  
       I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
    History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
    1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) . 
    I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
    Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
    2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
    and showed in error export log file :
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
    3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
    i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
    I did these steps :
    a-uninstall master coll suite
    b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
    c-removed raw directories in locations
    •C:\Program Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    d-removed these links from registry file
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    e-restarted the PC
    f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
    g-update the software
    result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
    4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created  ANOTHER NEW admin account.
    4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
    4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
    4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
    result :
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
    (in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
    problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
    this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
    what i expect :
    to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
    what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
    to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

  • WRE54G doesn't work with PS3...

    Hello,
    I bought yesterday the range expander WRE54G because I would like to expand my WiFi singal and make it accesible to my PS3.
    I configured de range expander and it works fine with all my electronic gadgets with WiFi, but it doesn't work with PS3. My PS3 is always contecting and disconecting... And, curiously, when i connect PS3 directly to my router, using wifi too, it works fine...
    What can i do to solve this problem? I only bought it to use with PS3.
    i put the same SSID and chanel of the router wifi to the range expander... I think it must be in that way, no?
    Thanks in advanced.

    You have correctly setup the WRE54G if you have same SSID, wireless channel and wireless security on this device and the router. The range expander will reduce the wireless connection speed by Half. So may be your connection drops because of lower connection speed.

  • Firefox 3.6.27 (Mac) doesn't work with Google Blogger's Blog Archive links?

    I noticed this just started happening about week ago. Firefox 3.6.27 (Mac) doesn't work with Google Blogger when clicking in the Blog Archive sidebar links. I can't upgrade because I'm using a PowerMac. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

    I press the combination after having some of the document's text selected, otherwise there wouldn't be anything to apply the paragraph style in the first place. But the real thing is I do the exact same with other paragraph styles combinations (Cmd+Alt+1, Cmd+Alt+2, Cmd+Alt+4, Cmd+Alt+5...) and it works. In Safari, even the one I'm interested in works (Cmd+Alt+3). The natural solution, it appears to me, would be a shortcut conflict, but I can't manage to find it, not even disabling my four add-ons (Adblock Plus, bookmarks-deiconizer, Customizable Shortcuts, YouTube to MP3). The Google forums are not finding a solution either. Anyway, thank you for trying.

  • ITeufel Radio v2 doesn't work with iOS 5.0.1

    My iTeufel Radio v2 doesn't work with iOS 5.0.1.
    It does not charge (just a short "beep" when connecting, but then it does not charge) and the audio function also doesn't work.
    I already tried to reset the phone, but this didn't help.
    Any ideas? Thank you.

    I got Wi-Fi to reconnect by restarting my router and re-entering the wireless password. I wonder if the wireless account passwords were lost in the update process? I wonder if I would have just had the phone “forget” the wireless account and reconnect if that would have worked.
    On an interesting side note, the exchange server connected after I got Wi-Fi back working! I am wondering if there is a issue with 3G and the new IOS 5.01? I could not get any exchange connectivity after the update on 3G.

  • Keyconfig doesn't work with FF 24.0. Is there a way?

    I have just completed rebuilding my PC from a hard disk format. In doing so, I loaded the latest FF 24.0.
    Part of my essential application was a script that used keyconfig to cause Easy Copy to send page source to the clipboard, where the script parses it. Unfortunately, keyconfig does not work with FF 24.0.
    The write-up for Easy Copy starts to explain how to make it act on a key combination, rather than on mouse action without using keycopy - but then says how it doesn't need to, because it's too much effort, and besides - keyconfig exists and does the job - which, I agree, it used to, very well - but it doesn't any more.
    What to do? If there is no other way, can I get a downgrade of FF that works with keyconfig?
    There is a new add-on, key config (note the space), but it doesn't do what keyconfig did.

    Hmmm...
    The first time I loaded it was through the FireFox Add-ons tool, so that was the natural mechanism to use to do it again. Even now, it is listed on the tool - but a notice comes up saying that it doesn't work with FF 24.0. Before getting help from you, I was on the point of downgrading FireFox to be able to use the add-on with an older version.
    Another solution to my problem (possibly a better one) would be if the writer of Easy Copy would give instructions for making a key combination to cause his add-on to respond to the keyboard without the intervention of keyconfig - hence only one add-on would be needed instead of two. He has made hotkeys for two of his functions - to copy the URL to scratchpad, for example, but there is no hotkey to copy the page source. I was going to suggest it on his web site, but it doesn't accept input.

  • Google toolbar doesn't work with Firefox. How to Fix?

    The Google toolbar doesn't work with my current version of Firefox. When I went to update, the Google toolbar was removed and I can't get it back. How do I fix this so I can still use Firefox?

    Google needs to update the Google Toolbar program for Firefox 5.0.
