How delete on Windows with Mac keyboard?

I'm running Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro. I have a Windows program up that I need to use "delete," but nothing seems to work. Any advice?

If you have Acrobat Standard, it is Windows software. You cannot install Windows software on your Mac.
If it was purchased, get a refund.
If it was bundled, then you just can't use it.

How delete a file in mac os x?

How delete a file in mac os x with a keyboard key? In windows would be removed whit delete.
Thanks.

Finally a solution that makes sense! I can't seem to make it work though. Here's what I've done so far:
Went to system prefs > keyboard > keyboard, checked "use F1, F2, etc.. as standard function keys.."
Went to keyboard shortcuts > Application Shortcuts, clicked on "+"
Selected "Finder", entered "Move To Trash" (no ") and F12.
Tested it. It opened the dashboard instead.
Went back to "keyboard shortcuts", found F12 already assigned to open the dashboard, unchecked it.
Tested again. After a short "beep", the last file in the folder became highlighted. That's it.
Tried with F1. Same thing. Changed "Finder" to "All applications". Same thing. "Help" doc was useless.
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. If you do, please let me know. Thanks a lot.
(Note: there is no check box next to the shortcut I created)

How can I type "š" with english keyboard layout?

I was wondering if somewho can tell me, how I can type "š" with englis keyboard layout, because when I have restart iMac, layout was changed back to english (from Slovak) and now I cant start Mac OS X, cause in my login is "š"

Start with the Apple menu in the upper left of the Menu Bar and select System Preferences. On the System Preferences pane on the top row is the UN flag icon. For Tiger (OS-X 10.4) it was called "International". Click to take you to the Language Options:
The sub-menu called "Input Sources" (as you can see from the above screen shot) will take you to the panel that I referred to in the previous response. If you don't find your language listed then click on the "Edit List at the bottom left of the "Language" sub-menu. Once you make a change in either one of these places you will be given a notice to tell you that the change will be reflected the next time you restart your Mac or the next time that you log in to your account. If you are the only user and do not have another account on your Mac then the restart option will be your method. There is no need to do this procedure from the install DVD.

how to write ! , . with virtual keyboard?
Thanks!

What do you mean by virtual keyboard?I guess he means the "Robot" class, and the answer is
to "press" shift, then press the 1 key, then release
the 1 key then release shift.Are you basing that on the steering the mouse question?
I guess.

Moving a windows with the keyboard

Hello all,
I've had my mac for a while, and I absolutely love it! I've really increased my productivity by using one, and it makes Java development so much easier since the system is BSD Unix based. Unfortunately, I've run in to a problem that is incredibly frustrating, and I can't find a solution, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been using the an application called swf player to view video from Youtube. It has several windows in the application. Unfortunately, the player control window has somehow jumped "off" the left of my screen. When I perform FN+F9 to show all my windows, the player control is displayed, and I can click on it. However as soon as I do it is moved back off the left of my screen. In windows, you could right click on a running application in the taskbar, then click "move" and move it with the keyboard. In the dock, there is no option to "move". I'm sure one exists, I just can't find it anywhere. Can someone tell me how to get this windows back onto my desktop without uninstalling the application?
Thanks,
Todd

I just took a look at the preferences file for this program:
http://www.swf-mac.com/swfplayer.html
I had moved the Control window to my second monitor, and sure enough there is an entry in the plist file for that location. So I trashed the plist file
"/Users/francine/Library/Preferences/com.eltima.SWFMoviePlayer.plist"
Relaunched and the Control window was back in its original position. Of course, you will lose your playlist and recent items....

How to install Windows on MAC? (Can't see the check box "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version" on Boot Camp Assistant)

I want to install Windows 7 on my MBP mid 2012 but in Boot Camp does not appear the check box: "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version". I continued with making the USB bootable with Windows 7 but then when I restart and boot with the USB I still can't install Windows because then I receive an error: ""Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of GPT partition style."
From OS with Boot Camp I didn't manage to make a partition for Windows instead I made one with Disk Utility (formated FAT).
After booting from USB that partition was also formated into NTFS necessary for Windows. Still the same error.
Any idea how to install Windows on my MAC?

My Windows copy is a X64.
MBP mid 2012 with Mountain Lion 10.8.3.
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro9,2
Processor Name:          Intel Core i5

Boot ROM Version:          MBP91.00D3.B08

Should have:

MacBookPro9,2
MBP91.00D3.B08 (EFI 2.9)
If you are refering to this I tried to update the EFI version (I see only SMC version 2.9 as a diferrence of what I have) but on installing I received an error: "This software is not supported on your system."

Windows with Mac-basic questions

I had been using a my Mac for work; then switched to my notebook PC (Dell, D630) . That becuase I had to use outlook and ACT and a few other programs that are work related.
I would like to update my MacBook to Leopard, and use boot-camp to run Windows when I am on the road etc,or in office mainly to get access to read & do emails and ACT databases while off line.
Can someone assist with following Questions:
1. What do I need to do to update my Macbook. What is recommended memory to support this?
2. After Leopard upgrade, what do I need to do next?
3. If I instal windows 2000, do I have to install windows office too? ie when I am running windows, I need windows office, Outlook etc, etc. ? Is there any degradation of speed or features?
4. If I am in Windows and, for example, I simply download from a received e-mail, an attached MS Word file to store in a Document folder, do I have two folders (one when with Mac OS; the other with Windows? . If I save a doc when the Windows environment, and then later reopen to Mac envioronment , can I still easily get at that Word doc in that common folder? And Vice versa, if I am working, say in Mac Word and I save a file to 'Folder A', if I then later switch & re-open to Windows environment on my Mac at work (example) can I see & get to 'Folder A '.
Thanks,

1. If I load MS Exchange on Mac and run on my MacBook when in the Window XP environment, can I get to MS Exchange as I normally do on notebook PC, does it function in this situation ? Any experience with that?
I presume you mean install Outlook.
Generally Exchange has to be installed on a Windows Server.
When running Windows XP on a Mac in Boot Camp, it is the same (well a little faster) as a Windows PC.
Virtually everything you can do on a Windows PC you will be able to do on a Mac running Windows.
Outlook will install, run and can be configured to work with an Exchange server with no problems.
2. Ditto , ACT. Can I use ACT if I load the application? Any experience with that?
No idea what ACT is.
But if it runs on Windows then it can run on a Mac running Windows.
3. Can I use MS Explorer when under the Windows environment (on the Mac). Limitations?
Yes, no limitations.
If it runs on Windows then it can run on a Mac running Windows.
4. Assume I am in Windows on Mac via Boot Camp. Assume I have MS word etc for Windows . Lets say I get an e-mail with an attached word file or whatever doc. If I then save it to say, ' My office work ,Folder A'. Close the Window environment, and Open Mac , can I get to same folder & open same doc?
Yes, if the Windows partition is FAT32, you will be able to make and save changes.
If the partition is NTFS then you will only be able to read the Word file.
Note when running Windows you can not read the Mac partition unless you have third party tools.
I did get a reply about this item (no. 5) but it had buzz words such as NTFS and FAT VOL, I dont understand that,sorry,
A hard drive (the disk) in order to work with an operating system needs to be formatted.
Windows can use two formats, one called FAT and one called NTFS.
Generally NTFS is preferred when running Windows, but FAT is more compatible with OS X for reading and writing files.

How to control scrubbing with the keyboard?

The headline is already the question: I would like to use the keyboad to fast forwad in songs. In the 'itunes a-z' there is only an info how to do this with the mouse. Arrow Keys do not seem to work for this, they only switch to the next or previos song, or album. Ah, I am using utine s10.5.2.11 with WIndows 7.
Any idea?
Thanks, Alex

Here are a few more to try:
setxkbmap
xkbset is the one I currently use, you can find at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xkbset/
keynav might also be worth a look. I haven't tried it though. It can be found in the AUR also.

Print Screen function in Windows using Mac keyboard

The following article gives the Windows equivalent keys on the Mac keyboard. On the PC keyboard, "Alt-Print Screen" would be "option-F14". But it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?

Disregard question... "alt-F14" works. It was just poor execution.

there a reason you want to avoid WindowedApplication?

How do I use a Mac keyboard for Windows functions?

I just changed from an HP to a MacBook Pro and I'm running Windows XP on part of the hard drive. The problem is that I'm missing my key buttons, like <fn><prt sc> to print the screen or <insert> and <delete>. I can't figure out how to compensate for the lack of the buttons on the keyboard.
Any solutions? Does anyone know where there is a good reference for this sort of thing?

I don't know of a chart, there should be one out there.
There is a utility, "InputRemapper"
check http://www.versiontracker.com or Google
what it does is let you map keys on MacBook etc. I use it because it also boosts the fan speed, otherwise my system can get too warm so it needs something, and there is no mechanism in Windows and with Apple's BootCamp services it seems, to use the thermal sensor data to adjust the fans. There are 3rd party like InputRemapper that might - but would like to see it "bundled."
Did you check the search field above next to Support for "BootCamp"

+shift+ delete and +delete not working with external keyboard...

Most of the time, when I try to send a file to the trash or empty the trash using the keyloard shortcuts, it will only work if I use my laptop keyboard but not my external apple keyboard hooked up to it. Ocassionally it will work with my external keyboard, but most of the time it wont.
Does anyone have similar problems to this or know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The only other thing I can think of is that the Finder can sometimes be slow in updating its view of reality. This is a perennial gripe about OSX. So maybe the issue is not the keyboard, but the Finder itself. Are you a fast typist? Try taking 3 deep breaths before using these key combos the next time you try to delete. Maybe that will let the finder catch up.
I only suggest this because, otherwise, the problem is pretty inexplicable.
