How do I get to the startup manager with wireless keyboard?

When starting up, if you hold down the Option key you are supposed to get to the Startup manager, where you can select which disk to start up from, etc. But this doesn't seem to work when using the Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard. If ever I get into trouble and need to start up from a repair disk or my system disks, I won't be able to. How can I get this to work?
Thanks.

Paul, you may need a USB KB for emergencies.

Lion will only let you add documents to iCloud through iCloud.com, iCloud.com requires the iOS apps before you can use it.
Mountain Lion will let you add documents to iCloud from the iWork apps themselves, you don't then need the iOS apps before they can be opened on another Mac.

Hi
If you press the "alt key" and click on Go when on the Finder display, Library is shown halfway down - just click on it to open.

How do I get to the contacts manager on VZW web site? I last used it months ago but it doesn't work now.

A family member has an LG Revere flip phone, and when we need to add several or remove several contacts, it USED to be easier to go into the contacts management page on the VZW web site, but when I went to look tonight, it kept showing the Backup Assistant information for the wrong phone, and ONLY showing me the (nonexistent) contacts for that other phone. The Revere is the only non-smartphone on the account, so it's the only phone I have ever wanted to use the backup assistant and online contacts manager for.
Now that I think of it, tonight it was also asking me to agree to use the Backup Assistant, which I thought was strange because (as I said) we were already using it for that one phone but not the others. But when i agreed it showed me the (default -- generic Verizon) contacts for MY phone, not the one I was looking for. When I have tried several different ways to get to the other phone information, I have been seeing more and more website errors.
I guess there was a glitch somewhere... I will try again but I'm putting this out there in case someone has an answer.

I have tried clicking all around and I cannot get to the contact manager at all anymore. Now when I click to it I go to My Verizon Online Sign In - Verizon Wireless (not sure if that link works here) and the web site says:
You are seeing this page for one of the following reasons:
1) The Sync & Connect feature does not appear on your account. To add this feature click on Home above, then click on the Change Features link.
2) The Sync & Connect feature has recently been added to your account and the request is in process or pending completion. Please sign in again later.
There's no "Home" or "Change Features" visible on that page. The more I do the stranger the site has gotten. This time it kept telling me I needed to sign back in, but then it would continue acting as normal (I AM signed in).
I suppose there's a glitch.

How do I get my iPad2 to discover my wireless keyboard?

I can't get my iPad2 to recognize my wireless keyboard.

After much frustration, I just successfully connected my BT keyboard to my Ipad2 by turning off my nearby Imac. It wasn't enough to just unpair my keyboard with the Imac. I also changed my batteries which may have helped. The problem I was having is that I wasn't getting the blinking light on the keyboard which indicates it is discoverable and ready to be paired. As soon as i turned off my computer my keyboard was discoverable.

How can I get a replacement key for my wireless keyboard?

I have a first generation Apple Wireless Keyboard with a key that has come loose. When I enter the serial number (beginning 3374900K***) into the selfcare database, it is not recognised, which prevents me from proceeding further and finding out if I can get a replacement key.
Should I bring the keyboard into a store, or is there any other way (online) I can get this resolved?
Thanks.

Hello w:
I think an Apple store would be the best approach.

How do I get to the startup menu. I have 6 apps start when I power on that I want to turn off.

I want to turn off some of the apps when my system starts up. There are about 6 apps, programs, that start and it takes too long for the mac to get going.

Two possibilities: Open System Preferences, select Users & Groups, and right above your user picture you'll see buttons for Password and Login Items. Select Login Items. In the window pane you'll see a list of items that are selected for startup at login. Select an item you don't want and click on the minus button at the bottom of the pane.
If any (or all) of the programs that are starting up don't appear in this list it means that these programs were running when you shut the computer down. In Lion, by defaul, any program running when the computer is shut down will automatically restart. There's a dialog box that appears when you select logout or restart which allows you to cancel this for that logout only. In other words, you much click the checkmark each time you logout/quit. I don't shutdown often and have an SSD so this behavior doesn't annoy me much, except at work where i don't have an SSD and I do shut down more often.

How do I get past the password prompt with a locked iPhone?

I updated to iOS7, and everything seemed fine. But then when the phone locked after a few minutes, it asked me for a password to unlock. I never used a password before. So the phone is asking me for something I didn't have to do before. Now the phone remains in a locked state.
I tried my Apple ID password, 0000, 1234, last four of my phone number, last 4 of my SSN, and nothing works. Has anyone else encountered this?
The ultimate solution is to restore the phone to factory settings using iTunes, but that is pretty drastic, and besides, there is another little quirk about my phone that makes it not so easy -- I can't turn the phone off. The button on the top no longer works. I've learned to deal with that by just setting the phone to blank out after a minute, and of course when the new phone becomes available, I'm going to buy it, but in the meantime, the only way to turn the phone off is to let the battery discharge. So in order to restore to factory settings, I also have to let the phone discharge.

Yes, I have the same problem! It is driving me crazy as I don't have a clue what code they want me to put in and now everytime I try a new one my phone is disabled and I have to wait half an hour until I can try another one! It's ridiculous!!!
I am praying that someone finds a solution soon!!!

How do I get to the tools function, with windows 7, to enable or disable cookies? the link only pertains to XP.

When I click on the Firefox box at the to of the browser, there is no "tools" in the drop down menu.

Hey utahron,
Try going to ''Options->Options'' in the Firefox menu. This will open Options menu and you can change your settings of cookies in the Privacy tab.
You should also look at [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 this article]. It describes some of the differences between the older version of Firefox and FF 8.
Hope this helps!

How Do I get to the EAX Equalizer/Settin

Hello im new to these boards due to the extreme level of frustration im currently experiencing. I'm using a X-FI XtremeGamer soundcard. My question is how do I get to the EAX Console with the Speaker/Equalizer/Sound settings. I know how to get to the Audio console but thats not what im looking for.

While alexs3d2 is for the most part correct, there are two things missing from the Audio Console that are available in the full console on the CD, and one is indeed the equalizer that you seek:
[img"]http://serve.ryanjohnwilliams.com/images/x_fi_equalizer.jpg">
The other is the THX console, which allows you to tweak variables such as speaker distance, and has a bass booster (although this is unsurprisingly just an adjustment of several equalizer knobs at once by X decibels, up to the Hz of your choice).
Creative have the cheek to actually not give this software away and want you to buy the CD with it on, even though many of the currently circulating X-Fi boxes don't contain the CD like they should. As such, you'll need to look for the X-Fi Vista CD on BitTorrent (if you do a search for 'bittorrent' you'll find older discussion of this).

You can use iCloud with 10.7.5. You do not need to upgrade to Yosemite. You should provide a minimum of 15 GBs of free space or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
