How do I fix a command key that doesn't work?

I bought a new iMac in December with the keyboard that comes with the system. Now my command key doesn't work. I've tried reseting to defaults in case I did something without realizing it, but it hasn't worked. The really strange thing is that it started working again once, then a few days later stopped again. Any one know what my problrem might be? It could be the keyboard itself, but if so, I'll be very disappointed!

Do SMC reset, in order for it to work it make take 2-3 attempts. You can find instructions by clicking Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

How to fix my iPhone keys that will not work

When I am using my iphone keyboard, the upper row Q thru P will not work. That is in verticle mode, when laid horizontally, the R will not work.
On the number keys, the 4 will not work. The comma key also does not work.
I was told that a software restore could cure this. Also, I tried to load the new version 7 software, hoping this might help. But the Accept option would not work when accepting the TERMS from Apple. It seems that only works in verticle so that whole row/area does not work.

RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

How can I fix the paste function that just stopped working

Paste function just stopped working. Tried restarting, but still doesn't work.

I had this problem as well. It also manifested itself as drag-n-drop not working in Mail. I checked the Console and saw a line about "CoreDragCreate error: -4960".
A Google search for that revealed some details about the "Pasteboard" server that handles this stuff possibly not running.
I restarted my machine and it worked correctly. You might verify in the Activity Monitor that you have "pbs" running.

How do i fix my Apple TV after the sept 2013 upgrade? Can I get it back to the way it was? I shouldn't have to buy a USB cord for it apple did this to my applet tv not me!

No you shouldn't have to buy a USB to microUSB cable I agree, it should have been in the box.
Unfortunately though that's what you need.
Personally I would take it to a nearby Apple store, if you don;t have one contact support and complain.

How to use this frustrating vga adapter that doesn't work with my iphone 4 anymore even after updating it to ios 4.3.4?

I hope I didn't spend my money on a junk.

Hello,
so yesterday I went to the Apple store (yeah, again) and they said that iOs 6.1.2 made the wifi chip overheat and that iOs 6.1.3 was supposed to fix this wifi problem (but once your wifi option has grayed out your phone has to be changed)... So they gave me a new phone and I've no problem so far. The wifi works very well, as before!

I think you'd need to supply a little more information than that if you want help...
At what stage does the restore fail?
Are you trying to update the iOS?
Are you getting an error code? Have you looked it up using the handy link?
Have you tried rebooting your computer?
Have you tried a different cable?
Have you tried a different USB Port?

How do i fix a portrait photograph that has harsh sunlight and shadows in PSE12?

Try this:
Duplicate the background layer, and convert this layer to black/white (ALT+CTRL+B)
Select the young lady's face, and place this on a separate layer (CTRL+J)
Open a Brightness/contrast layer at the top and group the top 2 layers (CTRL+G). Work the brightness and contrast sliders so that the 2 gray scale layers match as much as possible
Keep the face layer, but delete the duplicated grayscale layer below
Change the blending mode of the face layer to luminosity
With the eyedropper tool, sample color from the original skin
Open a blank layer at the top, and change blending mode to color
Paint over the face to match colors. Touch up additional spots as needed, e.g.hand
Add a levels adjustment layer and work the sliders below the histogram to best advantage
Sharpen slightly

A gap between letters started to show in my indesgn files. tried to undo with tracking, the paragraph settings. nothing helped. it ruins the fluent view of the document. how can i restore the program so that doesn't happen?

a gap between letters started to show in my indesign files. tried to undo with tracking, then with the paragraph settings. nothing helped. it ruins the fluent view of the document. how can i restore the program so that doesn't happen?
for example: say i write a paragraph. then, in a weird some sort of way an involuntary gap suddenly appears between different letters of random words(i did not recognize any pattern to the gap appearing) throughout the entire paragraph. once i've double clicked on that paragraph, and made a minor change, lets say tapped a 'space' key, and then clicked ctrl+z to undo, it has aligned(or fixed) the entire paragraph and made it look ok again. i've tried numerous ways to undo the entire thing, but cannot find the reason. i've been working for a few years and there's no reason why this thing all of a sudden should happen right now.
if anyone has stumbled on something like that and can advise, i would welcome it.

if you look closely you'll see that almost every line has a single letter apart. in hebrew there is no usually a singe letter structured words.

Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.
