"Get info" (command I) shortcut not working

When using Finder (MacBookPro 10.5.5), if I try to use the keyboard shortcut of command-I to get info on a file, it doesn't work. Nothing happens.
If I go through the menu, then it works fine. Other shortcuts, like open (command-O) still work.
I've added this shortcut under system preferences, but that hasn't helped.
Option-Command-I and control-command-I will bring up the info window.
Note, this is not for itunes--I've seen that plenty of people are having problems with "get info" there.

Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists. If not, there's corruption/conflict in the original account. If so, then it's system-wide and installing the latest COMBO update, repairing permissions, and restarting should fix it. If not, report back for more detailed steps.

Command - Tab shortcut not working

My command - tab shortcut stops working after a random period of time and I have to restart my MacBook to get it working again. Any idea what could be causing this keyboard shortcut to fail? I tried killing and re-running the Dock but that does not fix it. A refuse to reboot my Mac everytime it happens (this is not Windows...) Any ideas on what might be causing the problem?

Actually I just researched this further and found a solution here:

+Open the activity monitor and look for something like the "ScreenSaverEngine" - the process should be marked as "not responding" (written in red)+
+End this process and Command+Tab and other shortcuts will work again!+

ITunes 12 - old style Get Info using Shift-Click not working

I've become accustomed to using iTunes 12, but because I have for a number of years utilised most of the fields available in the older version Get Info screens (not available by default in iTunes 12) in order to create and manage smart playlists, I have been relying on retaining that access by using <Shift-Click> to bring them up. Alarmingly today I've attempted to access the old style Get Info screens only to discover that the <Shift-Click> option is seemingly not working!
As I hadn't heard of a change to this feature, nor can I find anything on the net about it, I am just wondering if anyone else is having this problem, and if so, does anyone know of a workaround? I keep my versions of iTunes up to date and recently downloaded the latest version (to 12.1.0.71), so perhaps a change was included in that update?
Without easy access to those fields I may as well give up iTunes and go fly a kite, so any advice will be gratefully received!
Cheers.

Access to the "old style" metadata editors has been dropped from iTunes 12.1 - I suspect that it was left in 12.0, with the shift right-click option, only because the new style editors were somewhat unstable/unfinished. In most cases all the fields that were available pre iTunes 12 are available in 12.1. Admittedly, the layout is a little counter-intuitive as you may have to scroll up/down, or expand the window by dragging one of its corners, to see everything. One issue that some have noted is that the available metadata elements are now more constrained based on media kind - for example, track and disc number fields that used to be universally available are no longer displayed or editable for TV Shows and Movies. There are also some strange inconsistencies - for example, that the Description element for audiobooks is only available for single items but not for groupings of two or more items, including albums.
For Music it looks like 12.1 has all the same fields available as were in iTunes 11. For a single song you get this (Details and Sorting tab):
and for an album (or any selection of two or more songs) the corresponding tabs are:
Depending on the fields you use for your smart playlists you may find that the editors in iTunes 12.1 will work fine, though it may take a while to get used to the new layout. If there still is a "back door" to the old style editors in 12.1 I've not seen any reports of what it is!

Command - C shortcut not working

Ok when i press command and C over a highlighted phrase it doesnt work, the copy shortcut isnt working but pasting and all of the other things are working fine. HELP!
Message was edited by: gchhour

I'm having more or less the same problem (was first stricken with it about two weeks ago).
Clicking Copy in Edit menu does the trick, ie copies, but the Command C shortcut, in any application mysteriously and infuriatingly brings up some document in Adobe reader.
In addition, it may by pertinent, this problem first manifest itself when the keyboard shortcut I had assigned under the dictionary app Ultralingua( nothing to do with Command C) also brought up the same uncalled for document in Adobe Reader.
I have tried various things, including repairing permission, but to no avail.
The problem (both of them actually) is driving me nuts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Command Delete shortcut not working

When I try to send files to the trash from Finder, the Command & Delete button combo that usually work, refuse to work now. Does anyone have any idea on how to get this working again? If i click on the file, i can manually move it to the trash. Just a pain because I need to delete files rather frequently. Thanks!

Was having the same problem and this fixed it.
Go to System Preferences>Keyboard and Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts and click the "Restore Defaults" button. Worked for me!
Best,
David

Command T shortcut not working

Hi, for some reason I'm suddenly unable to use the command T keyboard shortcut to open a new tab in either Safari or FireFox. I'm not sure when the problem started I just noticed it today. I can open a new tab from the finder window but not with the shortcut.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to go into the preferences and make my own keyboard shortcut.

I have a few desktop icons that won't allow me to move them to trash or relocate them on desktop. A PDF, a DOCX and a PART. Not locked under get info or get info command doesn't work. Suggestions?

Whenever I close down Photoshop CS5 I get the message: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the get info command in Finder to unlock the file or change permission on the file or enclosing folders." What on earth does it mean? How can I stop this message from appearing?

See here:
I cannot save recent images.

Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Get Info' command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file.

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

Go to current song (command L) is not working in itunes 11

Go to current song (command L) is not working in itunes 11, anyone having the same issue?

Thanks for figuring that out.
I thought that command-L was working when I first switched to iTunes 11, but then it wasn't working anymore. That's the ticket: I changed the display to show the sidebar.
Still, I'd like to be able to use the command-L feature whether I'm showing the sidebar or not.
I'd also like it if iTunes would keep showing the currently playing song when in Grid or Artist view modes. It doesn't, so I have to keep using command-L to see the current song info.

Shortcut not working in cs6

The keyboard shortcut command - h does not work. But it does from the menu bar drop down under Dreamweaver. On a mac 10.7.4

I can confirm that Cmd+H doesn't work in DW CS6 on a Mac. However, Cmd+Q works every time for me.
When you find what you think is a bug (and Cmd+H is definitely a bug), the best place to report it is through the bug report/feature request form at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

Command-V will not work!

I use command-c & command-v more than any other keys on my keyboard and all of a sudden, command-v will not work. I think one of my children pushed something that disabled it, but I cannot get it to paste anything even though my other command options work. When I press command-c the "Edit" tab highlights and when I press command-v the "Edit" tab also highlights but it does nothing. It does this in every program so it's not program specific. Wow...amazing how missing one function can disable a person so quickly!

A couple of people who have had this problem found an SMC reset resolved it, which is odd as you wouldn't think there would be any connection. However it is easy enough to do.

1.
Shut down the computer.
2.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
3.
Wait fifteen seconds.
4.
Attach the computer's power cord.
5.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
If that does not work, then explore your idea that your kids may have re-assigned that function to something else. Ask them if they were doing anything like that.

Why is my keyboard shortcut not working?

Indesign keyboard shortcut for CUT (command+x) is not working. I'm on a Mac running OS 10.9.5. I need that puppy!

My installation has been known to randomly forget which shortcut set I prefer.

Shift-Command-R does not work anymore

Hello all,
I've noticed that the shortcut shift-command-r does not work anymore on my macbook pro. I used it for the calendar to refresh all calendars, and its also handy to open the reader in safari 5.
When I open the keyboard viewer from the language and text menu I can see it when I press shift, then command but when I press "R" nothing changes, only shift+command stay highlighted. Other letters do work, so its a bit strange.
Anyone know a solution for this?
Thank you in advance

Nope thats not the problem, the listening key is Esc. It is as if the keyboard does not register it when the R is pressed in combination with the shift and the command together. As I said, the keyboard viewer shows every keystroke except the shift-command-r combi.
