How do I get capslock, shift, control, option, and command to work normal?

I did a clean install of Snow Leopard onto a new hard drive and restored the rest of my machine from a Time Machine backup.
The behavior of capslock, shift, control, option, and command have changed and are freaking driving me nuts.
Every time I hit shift/control/option/command an image of the key flashes up on the top right of my screen. I want this to stop and go back to a normal keyboard.
Also, the caps lock is no longer doing sane basic behavior like "Tap once for on, then again for off" like every other 3 billion keyboards on the planet. Now its doing this insane thing where I have to double tap it to turn it on, then again to turn it off, but sometimes it doesn't go off.
How do I get the keyboard in 10.6 to just simply act normal again?

Sounds as if you have Sticky keys turned on.
Turn of via System Prefs > Universal access > Keyboard
You can also press the shift key 5 times to turn Sticky Keys on or off.
Check the rest in System Prefs > Keyboard > Keyboard > Modifier keys.

    How do I get my plug ins (Nik and Topaz) to work on Photoshop Creative Cloud?

    Contact the makers of your third party plugins and see if they have updates that work correctly with Photoshop CC 2014.
    Also, make sure you ran the installers for the plugins instead of just copying them, since you may be missing necessary support files for the plugins.

  • How do I get a Mini DisplayPort adapter and HDMI connection working for my Older MacBook Pro?

    I bought a Belkin Mini DisplayPort adapter and attempted to hook it up on two different tvs using two different HDMI cords. I've always received a "no signal" message. I haven't even been able to get my desktop to appear. My display settings doesn't include a mirroring option and I only have the option to use my computer as a sound output. I've called apple support and I went to geek squad. Is it just impossible for older MacBooks?? I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and all of the forums I've read say that video should work at least. I switched out my adapter for a rocket fish one and still no luck. The geek squad employee couldn't get it to work on either adapters. Please Help!

    I upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and now it works perfectly. However, I'm getting random green and black splotches on my screen when I'm not using it with the TV.

  • How do i get a copy of IDVD and will it work with final cut pro x.

    I have a new powerbook. I've purchased final cut pro x because express is no longer available. My Mac didn't come with iDVD and I can't find a suitable dvd authoring tool. Please... some suggestions for DVD authoring or how to get a copy of iDVD and will it even work with FCPx.

    Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes for iDVD.)
    408-996-1010
    800-692-7753
    If you are still within your 15 day return period,  nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • Trying to embed a wmv video in website to work with Firefox. Video works but the controls appear then disappear. How can I get the cotnrols to show and stay. Works in all other browsers.

    Here's the code I used:
    <pre><nowiki><p class="bodytext"><OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="320" height="240" class="imageright"

    src="video.wmv" autostart='1' designtimesp='5311' loop='0'>
    </EMBED></nowiki></pre>
    Also tried showcontrols=1

    I had this exact problem too. Unlike IE, firefox wasn't scaling the video to fit into the height and width I defined. As a result the controls were disappearing off the bottom.
    I found that by making the height of the window 50px larger than the videos native height, the controls were displayed permenantly. Since the other browsers scale the video to fit the window, this solution works for them all.

  • Every time i start my MacBook Air i get the spinning wheel and have to soft boot (shift, control, option, power) it three or four time s before it starts

    Every time i start my MacBook Air i get the spinning wheel and have to soft boot (shift, control, option, power) it three or four time s before it starts. It has only been over the last week or so I also found Safari will not load up and tyou have too open then shut from the drop down then restart it to get a page, any help pleas?

    Do this:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall
         Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                    three times faster than wireless.

  • I'm currently using 3gs. My 'Personal Hotspot' option suddenly dissapear from my 'Settings'. How can i get my 'Personal Hotspot' option back?

    i'm currently using 3gs. My 'Personal Hotspot' option suddenly dissapear from my 'Settings'. How can i get my 'Personal Hotspot' option back?

    The iOS5 upgrade for the iphone allowed network operators to control the availability of the 'personal hotspot' feature. If your operator is one of those who charge extra for tethering (and most do) then by upgrading to ios5 you've facilitated them to remove the option for you.
    Apple bowed to the demands of the opertators on this one.
    I am with Tesco(O2) and as soon as I upgraded to ios5 I lost the 'personal hotspot' option.
    I have the last laugh though; They cant control my Android phone so I put the Tesco mobile sim into that when I want to use tethering.
    Get an Android phone or if you're in the UK use Three mobile who allow tethering.

    I tried it and nothing changed. Even when I right click on an indiviual image all it does is duplicate it. Iphoto seems to be recognizing my external hard drive as an editor......cannot get photoshop except to drag a picture into photoshop from iphoto, and once I have worked on it and saved it to iphoto I cant find it anywhere.

  • How do I get the "Preserve Numbers" option back?

    I no longer have the option to Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers) when exporting a PDF. I only have Convert to Destination or No Color Conversion. How do I get the "Preserve Numbers" option back? I have already tried quitting and relaunching InDesign and rebooting the workstation. When I try different versions of InDesign, I get the same results. When I try another computer, I have the "Preserve Numbers" option.

  • How do I get blue/green screen option & split screen?

    How do I get blue/green screen option & split screen?  On iMovie, these options were presented to me, whenever I dragged a clip over another clip already in timeline.  Where do I find these choices in Final Cut X ?  Also, on iMovie, to resume project production, I would then hit the "done" button -- Where do I find a button to finalize changes?  Also , where do I find the option of "precision editor" ?   Thanks

    Green screen is done with the Keyer effect.
    There is no Done except for transformations in the viewer.
    Double click an edit point to open the Precision Editor.

  • My ex husband had the kid's iPad.. how do I get rid of his info and ability to track me?

    Hello,
    I am recovering from a control freak.  Please help.  My ex husband took off with the children's iPad for over a year.  So the warranty is expired.  How do I keep the games he put on there (like Angry Birds) but get rid of a "restrictions Passcode" he refuses to give me and get his AppleID off of there and most importantly take his ability to stalk me via GPS tracking away?
    Yes he has been stalking me.
    I would like to add an internet browser and be able to have my own restrictions passcode so that when the children are not supervised I can turn off the internet. 
    How do I get rid of his passwords and ability to track me and set the iPad up for my children.  (I have no money, no child support and definitely no cash for tech support.)  I would deeply appreciate the help.  Even after I find a new job, it will be tight.
    Thanks so much!

    You'll have to restore the device, but with out the restricions passcode you'll have to put it into recovery mode first.
