Forward and Back Delete Keys on Wireless Keyboard (short)?

Hello, All:
My new Apple wireless keyboard (short version) has only the delete key on it. Is there a way to program the additional delete key, allowing me to delete in the right-hand direction? The current delete key deletes only the in the left-hand direction.
Thank you,
Dean

I've just been setting up a new Wireless Keyboard for a client using a MacBook with Tiger - on which the Fn+Delete combination works - and have found that it doesn't work on her Wireless Keyboard like everyone says it should! It just gives an error beep. Help!

How to repair broken delete key on wireless keyboard?

My wireless keyboard has a stuck delete key that will not come back up ( releasing the key). I have taken it off but am not sure if there should be a spring or if the 2 clips under key are in the wrong position when placed onto the key's slot. Any one familiar with keyboards?

Hi,
You can forward delete by pressing down the Fn (Function) key and then afterwards (while holding down the Fn key) pressing the Backspace key. Apple does not include a dedicated Delete key because for most applications on Mac OS X, the backspace key does what a dedicated Delete key would usually do; for example, in the Pages application, deleting a table or an image in a document.
For a list of keyboard shortcuts, such as screenshots, etc., see: http://homepage.mac.com/frakes/MOSXPT/content/keyboard.html (someone's website I found doing a quick Google search for "mac keyboard shortcuts").

My keyboard (wired) has lost functionality on the music PLAY/PAUSE, FORWARD and BACK, and VOLUME KEYS. They do NOTHING. All else is fine. How can I reassign them correctly? (Don't see those functions listed with System Settings/Keybard shortcuts).

Crayolla,
Try doing a SMC and PRAM resets. Sometimes it takes 2-3 attempts for them to work so be a little persistent if they fail the first time.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Forward and Back Buttons Don't Work

Greetings,
My forward and back buttons on the mouse don't work in PSE 7. Instead I always have to click the forward or back buttons on the toolbar, or use keyboard shortcuts (alt+left arrow or alt+right arrow).
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Thanks,
Shane.

This is working for me. The forward and backward buttons on the toolbar would work only with pressing of Alt button i.e. Alt+Left arrow.
Suppose you are in Single image view, and press left and right arrow keys, application would switch to previous and next photo respectively.
Please let me know if you have other concern.

How do you use forward and back button on mouse and use "zoom" in web browser.

Ok so apparently this forum is ruled with an iron fist or something my very honest and truthful problems with these issues seem to have been instantly deleted in my last discussion?
I'll try this once more.
1) How do you use the forward and back button on a mouse without having to buy a product like Steer Mouse? There must be a way to do this without having to buy a program given it's such a useful feature that 99% of users need. I don't want to spend hours researching something that should already work. Any advice?
2) How do you zoom in for web browsers like Chrome without it globally zooming in everything on the monitor (even background applications). I don't want to zoom in background applications. I want to be able to zoom in the web browser and still maintain all the features like the side bar, not just a little magnifying glass type thing.
I'm currently zooming in with the CTRL-Middle Mouse button, but I can't find a way to use this feature so it's useful to browse the web it seems to not scale the browser correctly but rather is a global zoom. Any solution for this?

Thanks so much!
Like I said I am new to Apple products so it's still unclear to me which programs I do or don't need as I'm setting up and configuring all my software and devices.
The Logitech Control Center appears to work perfectly for what I was trying to do!
I accidently clicked "This helped me" instead of "This Solved My Question", sorry about that this was a solve!

If you want to get a little more "exotic" you can try remapping the function keys. I did a little google searching and the hits that looked promising are,

Forward and back buttons wont work

I'm runnung Tiger 10.4.5 and Safari 2.0.3, for some reason the forward and back buttons won't "activate" or work. Everything else is fine. There is nowhere I can download a new copy of 2.0.3. Any help is appreciated.

System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Mouse Tab
Anything there?

Forward and Back in Increments

Does the Apple TV allow the user to move forward and back in short increments, such as 3 seconds, as well as fast forwarding x15, x30, x300?

Doh!! Stupidly I hadn't thought of looking under keyboard shortcuts, and I've now set Shift/Arrow as I've been used to. So job done. Many Thanks indeed.

Yes, there are lots of Bluetooth keyboards available for the iPad 2. Logitech and Zagg have several.

Embed pdf in website, show one page at a time, with forward and back controls?

Hi,
Not sure if this is possible (or if this is the right place to ask), but I need to take a multiple page pdf, embed it in a website so its on the left half of the screen, have it only show one page at a time, and have the forward and back page controls.
Is this possible, and if so, could someone point me in the right direction?

Typically you would save it to a JPeg and post those on the web site. Expecting a PDF to show up depends on the client computer configuration and browser. This is too risky, unless you don't mind getting nasty little notes that it does not work. If you do it with JPegs, then all the browsers I know of can handle it. Then simply put the PDF separately for those who prefer to download the PDF and look at it separately.

I was messing with the computer, not sure what i hit but now all my toolbars at the top of the screen are gone? (file, edit, history, tools and my forward and back button). Please help me get these settings back to the way they were?

My file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, and help buttons at the top of the screen are gone, along with my forward and back button.

In Firefox 3.6.10 I was able to go forward and backwards between pages without the page defaulting to the top of the page. Is there any way to prevent the page from automatically moving to the top when using the forwards and back buttons in Firefox Four?

I like to be able to navigate backwards and forwards without having to scroll down and find where I was previously. In Firefox Four, when using the forwards and back buttons, the page will automatically return to the top of the page. Is there any way to change this setting in Firefox Four to prevent it from doing that?

Thanks for the response. No Time Machine, but I probably have a backup from a few months ago on an external hard drive. :/ I guess it'd have useful history, but not if it overwrote the last 3 months or so of Awesome Bar, that might not be so great.

Firefox 8 and 9beta. Back and Forward buttons greyed out. Right click menu also has forward and back greyed out. Updated all plugins, then disabled all plugins and extensions and started in safe mode. No change.

My forward and back buttons are greyed out after update to Firefox 8. Tried to move to 9 beta, but same behavior. Back and Forward also greyed out in right click menu.
Attempted to fix by updating all plugins and extensions, then disabled all plugins and extensions, and then tried to start in safe mode. Nothing worked.

You could have backed up your profile folder. If you did, [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] can help :)

Forward and back buttons greyed out, no forward or back available in right click menu either

After upgrading to the latest FF14 the forward and back buttons and menu versions of forward and back are greyed out.
Tried the sqllite check and it says all my databases are fine. Tried safe mode, same thing. Tried a new profile, same thing.
Any other suggestions?

I have lost the use of the 'forward' and 'back' button

On Win 7 I have lost the use of the forward and back button - both are greyed out - except on this page ??? when I leave this page the greyed out appears on all tabs or links in use. I am using Firefox 3.6.16. To get to this page I have 7 tabs open at present and all ( except this one - odd! ) are greyed out.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
