How do you remap the menubar shortcut?

I find it excessively awkward to hold the 'fn' + 'ctrl' + 'F2' key to get to the menu bar.
I would like to remap that shortcut, but when I open the 'Keyboard Preferences' and I go to the 'shortcuts' tab and then select the 'Move focus to the menu bar' item all I get is a highlighted editable field I can't edit?
Any suggestions?

Thanks Barney. Oy! It's getting more like WinBloze everyday.
Really. That's the simplest way I can think of to create shortcut. The only other option would be to hunt for all the little symbols for option, control, command, and shift, then type a string of them in. Just type the shortcut you want to use. How is that difficult or unintuitive?

How do you remap the F1 key to paste your email address into a textbox on a website?

I would like to know if FIREFOX allows keys to be remapped. I want to be able to make the F1 key paste my email address into a textbox on a website to make it easier to type stuff. I have seen other programs that allow you to "remap" the keyboard and I wanted to know if FIREFOX allows this or not?

According to this: [[Keyboard shortcuts]], it is not possible.

How do you remap the Fn key on windows for gaming?

As many of you know on the macbook pro the bottom row of keys is in this order: [fn][control][alt][command] instead of the more logical [control][fn][alt][command]. This can be a huge problem in gaming which requires the use of the control key. Most remapping programs I have tried (in Windows 7) do not recognise the fn key neither do the games themselves when you try to change the keyboard setup. Is there any solution to this problem? You will be helping mac gamers everywhere!

How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
Thanks.

This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.

When you drag a link onto your desktop, how do you change the image for the shortcut?

How can you change the display size on the task bar

how do you change the display size on the task bar

If, however, you want to change the size of the display of the menubar, meaning make the icons and text larger, there is no way to do that directly other than to change the resolution of the screen.
You can change the as-viewed size of that temporarily by using either -
• Mouse zoom - if you have a Magic Mouse (Apple wireless mouse), hold down the Control key and use the scroll up and scroll down finger gestures on the mouse.
• Zoom - go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing and turn on Zoom. You can also use the noted keyboard shortcut to enable/disable this Zoom feature.

How do you change the artwork in the new itunes? it won't let me delete it

how do you change the album artwork in the new iTunes? it won't let me delete the old artwork even when I highlight it

The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
Delete Artwork
On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
Add Artwork
Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
Replace/Remove All Artwork
The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
Old Style Get Info Dialog
Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

How do you see the size of your library now in iTunes 11?

On iTunes 10 when you were looking at your song list, at the bottom everyone has seen the small informative text that tells you how many days it would take to listen to the songs that you currently have on the screen. Where is that information now??
How do you see the size of your library, or is there an option in iTunes 11 that will allow you to enable a way to see that text again at the bottom of your screen?

How do you alter the bookmarks bar on an iMac?

How do you alter the bookmarks bar on an iMac?

Safari bookmark bar is viewed by clicking on the book icon on the far left side of the bar, and selecting the Bookmarks Bar Collection.
Drag bookmarks and folders into the Bookmarks bar Collection or directly into the bookmarks Bar if you want them to appear there. You can edit them right on the spot by clicking on them once.
If you mean the Dock, the translucent bar that starts at the bottom of the screen (which you can put on the side of the screen), just drag items to the left side of the Dock's divider that are applications you wish to keep a shortcut to. Folders to the right side. When you minimize a window with the yellow control, it minimizes to the same side of the divider as the folders and documents you might drag to the Dock. Note, the Dock is only a shortcut. Many mistake it for a folder. It is not. If you want your application to be dragged out of a DMG you just double clicked, drag it to your Hard drive -> Applications folder. Dragging it to the Dock will only make it inaccessible when you dismount the image. And when you trash the image, the application is gone. Only if you store it in your Hard drive -> Applications folder is it safe.
If you mean the Finder window left sidebar just drag items into it between the icons already there. Your Finder menu's Preferences allows you to select default folders and devices to show there.

How do you see the path in Yosemite?

How do you see the path in Yosemite? What is the command to reveal the path to any given file? Is it somewhere in Finder?

This is even better:
Open the Terminal application
Enter the line below exactly as it appears (Copy/Paste may/not work: highlight the line of text > switch to the Terminal app > cmd-v):
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool TRUE
*Note: there are single spaces after 'defaults', after 'write', after 'com.apple.finder', after '_FXShowPosixPathInTitle', and after '-bool'
Then hit enter
That's it! Go ahead and Quit Terminal (cmd-Q).
Now:
Close any Finder windows you have open.
Open a new Finder window, and it should look like this:
You can then get rid of the path bar at the bottom:
Finder Menu > View > Hide Path bar -- or just use the keyboard-shortcut: cmd-opt-P

HT5248 How do you start the dictate feature?

After the update iWork still looks the same and search Help did not bring anything up. So how to you start the dictate feature to have your speech to text?

Once you upgrade to ML, you go to System Preferences and enable it. Then you select your shortcut for turning it on and off. The default is a double-tap on the fn key.

How can i pin the tabs (shortcuts on the left) FOREVER?

how can i pin the tabs (shortcuts on the left) FOREVER?
I PINNED THE TABS AND NOW I HAVE THE SMALL TAB ICONS ON THE LEFT OK COOL BUT I DONT WANNA DO THIS EACH TIME I OPEN FIREFOX. I WANNA PIN THEM FOREVER. AUTOMATICALLY!!!!

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

* [1] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
* [2] http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
* [3] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox
It is also possible to use the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting, that is usually a more reliable way to restore session data.

That's weird that these iphones are restored/activated through iTunes. I have a Apple so I have iTunes, yay!! I am guessing that the link that you gave me will tell how to put this iphone into Recovery mode? Now, this old iphone would of been activated on his laptop, which is with him and he is out of state. I have a new Apple, his new iphone would of been activated on our new Apple computer because he was here for Christmas and he didn't bring his laptop with him, or did he bring it with him, I don't remember now.... Now the question is, will I be able to restore his old iphone on my new computer seeing it would of activated on his laptop which is with him out of state. I am so worried that I am going to lock up this phone now. I thought I deleted the orginal guestion, and rewrote it, good grief, lol Oh wow, you are a level 10, I would be at a level -10!
