How do I chose the shortcut for the normal Eyedropper tool in October 2014 edition?

In the all my previous versions I chose a personal shortcut Cmd+i to access quickly the Eyedropper Tool which I use a lot to edit my text, and copy styles quickly. With the new Colour Theme Tool this is not possible any more since Cmd+i is used to toggle between the normal Eyedropper Tool and the new Colour Theme Tool. If one goes to change the settings in the Keyboard Shortcuts the Eyedropper Tool is not there anymore. So I cannot chose my preferred shortcut Cmd+i in default and especially in the Text Context to be able to copy text attributes from style to style in InDesign. Only for this I would not have upgraded to the October 2014 CC version, and I wish I knew a way to go back, because I would. I don't see a use for the new Colour Theme Tool and Cmd+i keeps bringing this up and not the good old Eyedropper Tool.

Thanks for the tip!
I use the Eyedropper Tool within text boxes exactly as you do, cmd+i shortcut and all.
The proposed workaround kinda works, but if I inadvertently hit the "i" shortcut twice, or if I use the Color Theme Tool, I have to remember to re-toggle it before continuing my normal workflow.
This currently happens often enough that I find the Color Theme Tool to be more of an annoyance than anything else...
Most tools have distinct shortcuts for each variation.
Like the "Type Tool + Type on a Path Tool" combo, or the "Rectangle Tool + Elipse Tool".
When you hit "M" on your keyboard, you know you'll be able to make a square box – no matter if you already had the tool selected of not.
I would have preferred – and expected – that type of behaviour for the Color Theme Tool.
Anyway, I won't downgrade just for that, I like new toys way too much!

For some reason, your Mac doesn't recognise that a keyboard is present, so it looks for a wireless keyboard. The question is, why doesn't your Mac recognise that a keyboard is attached?
First, you need to make sure you remove all peripherals, especially USB peripherals (the keyboard is on the USB bus). Then restart holding down the Shift key. This should boot in Safe mode. If the computer boots normally (not in safe mode) and the keyboard is still not working, try resetting the SMC

If that still doesn't fix the problem, then the keyboard (or its controller) is probably damaged and needs to be replaced.

Hi kshieh
You can try two possible steps:-
1]Triple click the home button. You should get an accessibility menu.deselect the negative/black and white option.
2]Go to settings->General->accessibility->and deselect invert colours.
That should fix it

How do i change the default hand tool to select tool when a document opens? also how do i get it to open in a single page view instead of 2 pages side by side

how do i change the default hand tool to the select tool when i open a document.
how do i change the view from 2 pages to a single page?

Try setting the check boxes in Edit>Preferences>General for the following:
- Make Hand tool select text & images
- Make Hand tool read articles
- Make Hand tool use mouse-wheel zooming
Adjust these as needed but does it make any difference?

In Preview, I suddenly am unable to get the "Adjust Color" tool panel to edit images. I just get the rectangular image selection tool instead. How do I ge the "Adjust Color" tool panel back?

Hmmm, I wonder if that window is hidden or off screen? Have you moved the pic window around to look under it?
Might try this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.bookmarks.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

I have run MacKeeper and all seems well
Yikes!
Many users will see references to an application called MacKeeper on various web sites and via pop-ups (and even re-directs) on their browser. Not only is it expensive for what it purports to do (freeware applications that do the same or more are readily available and in fact make up a large part of MacKeeper), it can sometimes install itself without the user realising it, and it can be very tricky to get rid of.
Most positive reviews of it have been found to have been paid for by Zeobit (developers of MacKeeper) in the form of ‘free upgrades’ etc. For example (posted by fellow contributor Softwater), on their Facebook page and on their webpage they have this apparent endorsement from UNC Charlotte:
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-18670779-12515 7/450-259/Screen+Shot+2012-06-17+at+17.04.04.png
Softwater contacted the Director of IT at the College of Arts and Architecture UNC Charlotte, about whether they endorse MacKeeper and his response, quoted here, was:
No, please do not download and install MacKeeper. We have seen problems with this software in the past.
MacKeeper has been described by various sources as highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system, adding that it is unethically marketed by a company called Zeobit, with a history of making false advertising claims backed up with paid-for reviews, and a rip-off. One such opinion is:

Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware can be read here:
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
MacKeeper have recently said that the uninstaller from here:

now works.

Equally phoney was iAntivirus:
http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=341
until it was purchased recently (May 2012) by Symantic (makers of Norton anti-virus which does not work well with Apple OS X). Even after having tinkered with it, iAntivirus still fails to do the job properly and cannot be recommended.
There are no viruses that can affect Apple OS X and there is therefore no reason to run anti-virus software on a Mac, but a Mac, like all computers, can transmit viruses and malware to other users particularly those running Windows. Note, however, that Trojans are another matter and can represent a genuine threat, an example of which was the recent 'Flashback Trojan' which you can read more about here:

How do I chose the amount of space I want my music to take up on my iPad mini?

UGH!!!!!! This is ridiculous!!! In the past I could chose the amount of memory I wanted allocated for music. Now I have two options. Put my ENTIRE LIBARY on my 16gb iPad OR automatically fill ALL THE FREE SPACE WITH SONGS. Which by the way every single time I do this it picks the SAME SONGS EVERY TIME!! I want to pull my hair out, punch the walls, beat my dog! For real. I don't understand why every "upgrade" to iTunes is actually a downgrade. 12 *****. I will be trying to downgrade if I can.

You need to go to your iPad in iTunes and then go to Summary. In that window there is an Options box. Make sure "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked.
