Getting a cmd key on an external 101-key keyboard

I'd like to use my classic IBM Model M keyboard with my new MacBook Pro. I've connected the keyboard into the MacBook Pro via a PS/2-USB adapter and am able to type fine and enjoy all of its old-style clicky, mechanical key goodness.
The problem is, however, that there is no cmd/flower/Apple key on an old 101-key keyboard -- and this key comes often comes in handy in OSX.
Is there any way to simulate the cmd key in OSX? Or can I perhaps reassign another key to work as the cmd key? I do have at the top of the keyboard "Print Screen", "Scroll Lock", and "Pause" keys, which according to keyboard viewer, work as F13, F14, and F15. F14 and F15 work as screen brightness up and down and F13 has no function. Could I perhaps assign one of these keys to work as the cmd key?

*Modifier Keys* will indeed allow me to assign the Caps Lock, Control, or Option/Alt key to be the Cmd key -- but then I'm out either a Caps Lock, Control, or Option/Alt key.
Well, I decided I can live without a "Caps Lock" key better than I can live without a "Cmd" key, so I swapped away my "Caps Lock" for "Cmd" in "Modifier Keys".
It's functional for all the cmd-key combinations, but alas, it does make it HARDER TO SHOUT LIKE A N00B ON MESSAGE BOARDS.

How do you get the hot keys / keyboard shortcuts to work?

I have the free trial version of Photoshop. I am new to Photoshop, I am just starting to learn how to use it. I notice that some of the shortcuts/hot keys don't work.
For example, one basic hot key that does not work is the F7-key. The F7-key opens and closes the layers palette.
Another hot key that does not work is the spacebar. My teacher taught me to hold the spacebar down when you want to move the canvas around. When I am in handtool mode I hold the spacebar down, I then apply pressure on my laptops touchpad, I then slide my finger across my laptops touchpad in order to try and move the canvas, but the canvas does not budge.
Some shortcuts work. For example, tapping the F-key multiple times will expand and reduce the size of Photoshop.
Closing my web browser did not resolve the problem. Updating the software did not resolve the problem.
I am eager to learn Photoshop, but it's hard, and probrably a waste of time, to try and learn Photoshop when some of the softwares hot keys don't work. Anyone have a solution they can offer?
Thank you,
Jennifer

How do i get itunes to download on my external, and not my desktop?

I've been trying to get iTunes to download in my external hard drive instead of on my desktop; but every time I download iTunes it starts downloading automaticly onto the desktop. I don't have enough memory on my desktop to transfer all my music onto their, so how can I get it to download onto the external instead? If anyone could help me with this problem I would really appreceate it.

Download and install iTunes normally, launch it with the Shift key held down, and create a new library on the external drive.

Yeah, I'm having the same exact problem - It seems that the thunderbolt minidisplay port is only able to output the analog VGA signal, not the digital signal to support DVI and HDMI. This is a bug that came up after installing 10.7.1. I bought my macbook air with 10.7 on it, upgraded it to 10.7.1 as soon as I got it, so I have never been able to use hdmi or dvi with my macbook air. This is an extremely frustrating problem for me, I used HDMI on a daily basis with my PC. I have spent many hours at the genius bar running diagnostic tests so Apple can get as much information as possible to create a fix for this problem. I have been emailing tech support for 3 or so weeks now, they keep saying that they are working on a fix and it should be out soon, but 10.7.2 has come and gone and I still have no HDMI functionality with my MacBook Air!

I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

I can not re-install/ update apple iTunes on my HP PC running Win7-64. I get a registry key error when installing and am asked to make sure I have access. IT is a home PC with one user and I have admin priveledges.

When the updater notified me of an iTunes update, I selected the update option. The update failed and killed the version I was running. I have tried for a year to fix the problem without sucess. I can't completely remove all Apple products. I can not install any apple products especially iTunes which is the only one I am interested in.
When I install iTunes now I get a registry key error similar to this:
I am using a machine where I am the only user and am the Admin. I have looked at the security settings on this key and see nothing wrond with it or the parent keys. I tried removing all apple products but ran into similar problems. At this time I still have Bonjour. Mobile Device Support, Software Update, and Application Support installed.

These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
c. Perform the following actions
i. Right Click on Components Folder
ii. Select Permissions
iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
iv. Select Advanced Button
v. Select Owner Tab
vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
ix. Select Apply
x. Select Apply again
xi. Exit the Registry Editor
Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time?

How can I get a replacement key for my Macbook's keyboard in a country without an Apple Store?

I'm in Guyana, South America, and there is no Apple store in this country. I have asked my friends in North America to go to an Apple store to purchase a key, but they were told that I must ship my Macbook to an Apple store. This seems like unnecessary troubles just to get a single key.
I had bought my Macbook Pro for no longer than 2 months when my 'H' key popped out and the clip became damaged. This is heartbreaking.
Any recommendations?

I would check these guys out. They have a great selection and ship worldwide

P.S. they will also help you find out exactly what key mechanism you use.

How to get the number of current active external modes?

hi all,
I need to get the number of currently active external modes. This can be done by calling function THUSRINFO. But this only works propperly, if you are logged on only once. If you are logged on more than one time then the function returns several entries in the parameter USR_TABLE. The entries mainly differ in the first parameter TID (type UTID, INT4) "terminal-identification" but how can I know which is the valid one for my current session. Functions TERMINAL_ID_GET, SPH_TERMINAL_IDENTIFY and SPH_TERMINAL_ID_GET dont work.
Or is there another way to get the number of active external sessions?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

How to get selected row keys from RichSelectManyCheckbox

Adf Table has getSelectedRowKeys but SelectManyChekcbox does not has anything similar. Can you tell me how to get selected row keys programmatically for RichSelectManyCheckbox?

Hi User,
selectManyCheckbox component's value property holds the selected items values. Bind this property to some bean variable(of type list) so that you can get the selected values by accessing the bean property.

How do I get the arrow keys to move one character at a time in the address bar or search box?

I can no longer get the arrow keys to advance or retard "one character at a time" in the address bar, the search box, or on any form in Firefox. This feature works in other browsers without a problem. The "Home" and "End" keys do not work either. How do I fix this behavior?

How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
Launch the AirPort Utility.
Select the AX.
If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

How to get the PRIMARY KEY of a table at runtime ???

Hi everybody,
My requirement is to update a z-table at runtime according to the data given ata runtime. So the main difficulties for me is that whenever I tried to update the table based on the data given in UI many rows are getting updated as these fields are not unique. So I think if I can get the PRIMARY KEY along with these given fields then I can update only one row at a time.
So Can anyone suggest me how to get PRIMARY KEY of a table based on the data in UI..??
Any suggestions will be appreciated..
Thanks,
Sekhar

U will get primary keys of transparent tables using FM "REUSE_FIELDCALATLOG_MERGE".
pass tyour table name and u will get fieldcatalog filled. In tht their is a field called "KEY" if it has 'X' then tht field is a primary key of transparent tables & if it has "space" then it is not a primary key...
Or else you can try with 'DDIF_TABT_GET'
Or try this code
PARAMETERS: p_table TYPE tabname OBLIGATORY.
DATA: go_strucdescr   TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,
      gt_tab_fields   TYPE ddfields.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <gwa_tab_field> TYPE dfies.
TRY .
*   Get the details of the DDIC table
    go_strucdescr ?= cl_abap_elemdescr=>describe_by_name( p_table ).
CATCH cx_sy_move_cast_error .
    MESSAGE 'Error while casting' TYPE 'S'. RETURN.
ENDTRY.
* Check if input is a DDIC table
CHECK go_strucdescr->is_ddic_type( ) = 'X'.
* Get the details of the table fields
gt_tab_fields = go_strucdescr->get_ddic_field_list( ).
* Display the Key fields of the table
LOOP AT gt_tab_fields ASSIGNING <gwa_tab_field> WHERE keyflag = 'X'.
WRITE: / <gwa_tab_field>-fieldname.
ENDLOOP.

Hi,
As you are running a Trial version, I do not think HA/ASCS would be relevant for you.
As you found in the dev_ms trace, the port 3601 for message server is not accessible:
NiIGetServName: port 0E.11/3601 = servicename 'sapmsN4S'
***LOG Q0I=> NiPConnect2: connect (111: Connection refused) http://nixxi.cpp 2769
ERROR => NiPConnect2: SiPeekPendConn failed for hdl 0 / sock 4
Check via command netstat if the port 3601 is free for use. The hardware key is obtained from message server and since this port is not available, neither is the message server/the hardware key. Perhaps a VM restart could also help.

Srikishan

Manage Account does not appear in the options sync tab. How do I manage my account to get the recovery key?

I cannot sync my Firefox 18 desktop with iPad or iPhone browsers. I have tried everything suggested on the Web and have tried safe mode as well. When I enter the three-line synch code, I get a sync failure. I have deleted my account and then set up a new account without success. Manage Account does not appear in the options sync tab. How do I manage my account to get the recovery key?
I’ve spent hours on this and am considering using Chrome as my regular browser since I have no trouble syncing Chrome with apps. Help appreciated.

You can only inspect the sync key via manage account if this device is has been setup and is connected to the sync server.
You can find the sync account password and the sync (recovery) key in the password manager on computers where a sync account with a specific e-mail address has been set up.
Look for:
* chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Password)
* chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Encryption Passphrase)
You can look at this version of the about:synckey extension that I have modified to show the sync key in current Firefox versions (desktop and mobile).
