Finder Navigation with Keyboard

I've never been able to figure this out. Is there a keyboard shortcut to going back / forward in the finder?

Tips for faster navigation with keyboard?

I've spent a bunch of time learning Aperture 3 this week, and much of it is starting to make sense.
One thing, however, still stumps me:
How do you quickly navigate with the keyboard among pictures, views, and projects?
I have carefully studied the "Aperture 3 Keyboard Shortcuts" help file, trying all the keystrokes listed, so far no luck. Because Aperture is targeted at professionals who deal with LARGE numbers of images and want to do it quickly and easily, I figure I must just be missing some key concepts or tricks.
EXAMPLE: in iPhoto, from the top level Events screen, you can:
1. move the highlight around with the keyboard ARROW keys to select an event,
2. press RETURN key to enter the event,
3. select a picture with the ARROW keys,
4a. press RETURN to maximize the picture within the iPhoto window,
4b. or OPTIONCOMMANDF to show that picture fullscreen.
Quickly getting back to the main Events page is super fast: just press the ESCape key twice.
In Aperture, I can't figure out the equivalent way of quickly drilling down into Projects, maximizing pictures, then retreating back to the top level Projects view. Perhaps I'm just not grokking The Aperture Way of doing things.
As far as I can tell, it requires:
1. Double-clicking with the MOUSE on a Project (keyboard presses just cause the error beep)
2. Move the highlight with the ARROW keys, just like iPhoto.
3a. Press the V key two times to maximize the picture within the Aperture window, or
3b. Press F to switch to Fullscreen Browser
3c. then V to switch to Fullscreen Viewer of the maximized image.
To get back to the list of Projects, instead of just hitting the ESCape key twice, I have to:
1. Press V to switch back from Viewer to Browser
2. Press F to cancel Fullscreen mode
3. Switch from keyboard to MOUSE, click on Projects left-arrow button at top left of window.
It doesn't sound like a lot of extra steps, but I'm always drilling down into Projects/Events, looking at images, then coming back up to the top level to drill down into a different Project/Event. Because Aperture appears to require extra transitional steps, I'm finding it generally slower and more awkward than iPhoto for the thing I do the most.
I hope I'm just not understanding the right way of doing things.
Suggestions?

Better navigation with keyboard

I'm a developer and basically use a keyboard and it's shortcuts. I want to see better support of keyboard navigation e.g. navigation through contacts, recent chats, typing is chats, comming back to recents and so on.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As a developer, you may know that keyboard shortcut tips is usually shown in the menu after the feature you want. All this is possible using the keyboard today, if one single Skype window is open, and focused, (in split mode atleast, you do run in split mode?) Providing that the focus cursor in chat windows are fixed.

Maps Navigation: Can't find "English with streets"

This is my first post so I hope it's in the correct place.
I'm trying to get navigation with street names to work on 5800 music express. I've installed the latest firmware and downloaded the map loader (version 3.0) on to my PC. I've also installed maps version 3.03 on to the phone.
I've gone into options/navigation but when I look for "English with streets" (in fact any language with streets) it's not there either on the phone or in "voices" on the map loader.
I got it to work perfectly on my N97 and can't figure our what is going wrong on 5800.
All help will be appreciated.
Many thanks.

try Ovi Maps 3.04. When I had 3.03 installed, the with street names language pack only shows as direct to phone downloads. But when I had 3.04 installed, English with street names appeared on Ovi maps loader.
Personally though, I prefer without streets. That voice pack sounds terrible and robotic. Oh yeah, you know certain streets which are named after mountains? Like "Mount Everest" for example. It says, "now turn right at MOUNTAIN EVEREST" its effing annoying, especially since the residential area I am in is full of streets named after mountains.
Just my opinion of course.

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans at full speed.

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen on 2nd? page of boot. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans run at full speed, machine boots then runs normal except the dvdrw will not . The mid 2011 IMAC had the same problem with LION. I changed hard drives, formatted, and installed a clean install of latest os x mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Navigation with rollovers

Hi,
I have the nice task to evalute the Portal of the 9iAS v2.
We have a nice web which should be ported to the Portal.
I have there a nice Navigation Bar with rollovers.
How can I build this navigation? I can use "Page Links" from the items to build a navigation with links.
But I want to use images.
My questions:
1. Are there any build in features to do images with links - rollovers with links
and if not - how can I do this.
2. when I use Page Links I can find the right page just by name - how can I do this when
I have to enter this manually?
thanks a lot,
michael

Here's the bad news - letting a graphics application write the HTML for a production site is not a viable method. The tables produced are completely rigid and will break unexpectedly as you build your page and add content (thereby changing the 'shape' of the original layout plan). Please read this to see why that's the case -
http://www.apptools.com/rants/spans.php
The spans are what create "gaps" unexpectedly as the table tries to maintain its shape. I believe the only way to fix this is to not use that FW HTML at all.

ELoad throwing error - Failed to find navigation path

Hi,
I have a script that runs fine in eTester but fails in eLoad with error - Failed to find navigation path when it tries to click on a dynamic link on a page. I think it records the text of the link based on what account I have searched on. If I iterate through my records in the data bank, the script runs just fine in eTester. However, it fails with the "Failed to find navigation path" error in eLoad. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Are you able to build the regular expression without the company data?
For example if my html had this in it:
<INPUT type="text" id=ticker name=ticker value="TER">
and I want to extract TER to use somewhere else, I would create a custom variable with this regular expression:
<INPUT type="text" id=ticker name=ticker value="(.+?)">
I would have to make the regular expression smaller if the ticker was in there. For example if the html was
<INPUT type="text" id=ticker name=ticker val= "Teradyne" value="TER">
I would have to make the regular expression:
<INPUT type="text" id=ticker name=ticker val=".+?" value="(.+?)">

Best Ipad3 case with keyboard? Can I use a Ipad 2 case for Ipad 3?

I just bought the Ipad3 and I need to buy the case, but all the cases I found are for the Ipad 2 - are the Ipad 2 and 3 the same size? Can I use same case?
Which one is the best case with keyboard for ipad 3?
Thanks!

First, we have a whole bunch of threads on this, so a search would help, and it would offer dozens of answers to this you might want to think about including a long thread where I reviewed a whole bunch of keyboards for the ipad3....
But in short,
The Zagg Folio fits both the 2 and the 3 -- most people are finding in general that almost all cases made for the ipad 2 work with the iPad 3....
The Zagg has what I have found to be, by far, the best keyboard with the least errors -- in fact, I was able to get about 60 wpm on the keyboard without error after only a few minutes of practice. The downside is that the case is flimsy, looks kinda cheap, and its really hard to get the iPad out of the folio case -- I've found I have stopped using the folio at all, and just use the keyboard on my desk at work.
The clamcase fits both the ipad 2 and the iPad 3 -- it is by far the best overall case/keyboard that I have found. It looks great -- and the keyboard works well. Because of the realignment of the magnets in the ipad 3, it does not turn on/turn off the iPad like it does with the ipad 2, where that works flawlessly.
The downside is that the keys are cramped, and the error rate increases. With about a half hour of practice, I got about a 45 wmp typing rate, and that included several errors that required correction. It's a tradeoff because the keyboard feels good, the response is good, but because the keys are not seperated it is harder to type. I use this case only when I go on longer trips and don't want to take my laptop.
The nest overall keyboard is the Apple bluetooth keyboard without a case -- but it's a pain to lug it along, and you need a seperate "easel" for your ipad. Still, it's the best keyboard you can use -- and I get 65 wpm error free with this keyboard. I have one at home, and it's my keyboard of choice when you don't need the case.
Finally, I've gound that Brookstone makes a decent keyboard -- it works well, comes in multiple colors, and its actually more stable than the Zagg folio. The keyboard is not as good, though, and is plastic-y feeling. Still, it might be a fair tradeoff.
Almost all other keyboards are made by the same companies and distributed to third parties who put them into their own cases. I'd stay away from most of the other keyboards.
Overall -- for the convenience of the sheer folio thing, the Clamcase is about as good as it gets, even though it is about 50 dollars more than the Zagg and other similar models. Plus it makes your iPad look like a macbook, which is kind of cool.

Frustrated with keyboard language

In older versions, the Xperia keyboard had the option to add a language toggle key, as well as decide whether it should give word suggestions in all chosen languages or just the one currently activated with said key.
With that option gone, I now find that the Xperia keyboard tends to give word suggestions in the wrong language, especially when swiping. I have both English and Swedish enabled, and getting Swedish word suggestions when typing in English is quite annoying...
While there are other keyboards which might have that feature, it feels a bit disappointing seeing it removed from the default keyboard.
So, please add it back.

Same problem! WE WANT THIS BUTTON BACK!
And i have another one with keyboard. When i was writing sentence on my old xperia after tapping spacebar i was able to finish it with punctation like dot, question mark, etc (LEFT SIDE PICTURE)
Now with z3 (RIGHT PICTURE) I must press 12!? i look for question mark for example.. After double tapping spacebar there is only one option of dot. Kinda dissapointing...
SONY sometimes do changes for worst im afraid just to do the CHANGE.

Finder folder with question mark, now will not start at all!!!

Hey guys, I was working in Avid and i opened up Quicktime, all of a sudden i got a crash log. So i restarted, upon restart i got the finder folder with the blinking question mark. I tried restarting with the OS9 cd by holding down the C button, no luck there. So i moved onto the next step, resetting the PRAM, no luck there (just sat on black for numerous minutes until i let up, then the folder came back). Then I moved onto resetting th PMU, now it will not start up at all. I restart, and all i see is a black screen, nothing. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The machine im workin on is a Powermac G4 (quicksilver), OS9, 1.5 G Ram, machine bases around Avid Editing system
Rhyno

Ok let me clarify this.
1)system crashed restarted and got the folder with the ?
2) tried to boot from the OS 9 CD no luck? it did not boot?
3)reset pram and still the flashing ?
4) Reset the PMU chip and the mac is dead won't start up at all?
a couple of ideas too...
did you press the pmu button more than once?
Check to make sure the power cord is plugged in correctly etc.
Check the Pram battery to see if it might be dead it should read between 3.3v and 3.7v
also try to restart the computer without other devices plugged into it (USB Firewire, keyboard, even monitor.
hmm...

Emulate mouse scroll with keyboard [solved]

I'd like to be achieve a mouse scroll wheel functionality with keyboard, that is, to be able to scroll n lines by using a keyboard shortcut. Page up/down jumps too much and arrow up/down is quite slow and not so eye-friendly. So I'd like to be able to scroll, say, five lines down when pressing something like Ctrl + arrow down.
I'm using KDE 4.3 at the moment and couldn't find anything related in the settings, so I'm guessing it requires a bit more effort. Would it be possible to map some keys into sending an event similar to the event that is caused by scrolling the scroll wheel? I tried to see what xev says about scrolling the wheel, but that didn't help much.

Maybe xbindkeys with xdotool, but I don't know if this is without lag.
Something like this in .xbindkeysrc
"xdotool key --clearmodifiers Up Up Up Up Up"
