How to replace Insert key? Need for Maya!!!

Hi, I've just bought MBP 2.16 Ghz, 100 Gb 7200rpm, 2 Gb RAM for graphic prog-s a. animation. But there is no INSERT key on my keyboard, which I really need for Alias Maya.
Does anybody know how to replace the INSERT key with key combinations or somehow?
tnx
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2.16 Ghz, 2 Gb RAM

I think... and I use the word think loosely...
That you can go into system prefs --> keyboard & mouse --> keyboard shortcuts and add the function you want... it can be overall for the OS, or it can be specific for the application.
I hope that works for you.
My external keyboard doesn't even have "insert"... so it may not be possible

How to replace a key on keyboard

hello
one of the keys popped off my keyboard, the letter "I"
only the key came off, the white bracket thing still attached to the grey thing.
i tried to push down on the key to see if it would snap back on, no luck. i have done some searches on how to fix it, all were not very clear.
i recall speaking to a person a long time ago about this, he said its hard until you know how, then it is easy.
any suggestions=?
right now i am typing with the "I" key just kind of balanced in position.
Thanks,
wayne

How to replace squeaky key on Retina MBP

Hey guys,
Does anyone have any directions for lifting off a key on the MacBook Pro retina keyboard? I have a squeaky spacebar and I'd like to avoid the hassle of taking this in to the Apple store which is a decent trip to get to. Seems like it'd be an easy fix to just lube the key mechanism a bit an dpop it back on.
Thanks!

How to replace shift key?

I was having trouble with my left shift key, so I decided to pop it off but I used too much force and all the little bits underneath went everywhere, nothing is broken but I don't know how to put it back on. Is there a help page for this specifically? Thanks.

Head to System preferences / language and Text, click on the "Input Sources" tab, choose "British".
If you have keyboard input menu showing in the menu bar, make sure that the British flag is flying there in the appropriate spot.
You will now find that "Shift 3" (not "Shift 4) gives you the £ key (as on old style typewriters, from memory, as well as on standard PC and Mac UK keyboards)
If you really want it to be "Shift 4" instead, then have a look at Ukelele. This excellent utility lets you create keyboard maps of your own choosing.

Broken key... how to replace

my right apple-key is physically broken. It still sends the signal to the computer when i press it, but it's wobbly and will come off from time to time. by looking at it, i can see exactly what is wrong and it's only the grey-plastic part of the key that is broken. If i get a new one I believe I can stick it back on there pretty easily. My question is, if I go to Apple for a new command key will they need to replace it themselves (i.e. send my computer away for who knows how long) or can I just get it fixed on the spot. Or can I call apple and have them ship me a key? or does anyone know where I can get an individual key for cheap?

Hi
I've had one of my keycaps broken off before and had luck replacing it with parts from powerbookmedics.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/Powerbook-Keys-MacBook-Pro---Individual-Key-Keycap -p-16753.html
It may be easier to talk to someone there in order to get the keycap you need. (I could not get the "apple key" to come up in the shopping cart)
Good luck.

Left command key has broken off - how to replace?

So a few days ago I caught my left command key with my nail and the top half of it lifted away from the mechanism underneath. I pressed it until I heard it click back into place and then merrily continued using my computer as usual. Today I was typing and the whole thing just came off under my thumb, which is annoying to say the least.
The biggest issue is that as I was trying to reconnect key to mechanism, the little criss-cross doohickey came off as well! I am left with a little silicon nipple which, while titilating, is not really conducive to the kind of high volume typing I'm used to!
I really don't want to pay 40 bucks to get Apple Support to replace a single key for me - I just need to know how to do it myself. It's only one key and I could probably learn to get used to using the right one, but it would be easier if I could just click it back into place. It's not broken, the mechanism itself seems fine and the key works if I push the little nubbin, so I'm not concerned about that. I just think $40 is too much to pay someone to click a key back into place! I wasn't even doing anything out of the ordinary with it like trying to remove or replace the keys T^T
I'm especially gutted since I just bought a new iPhone from the same Apple shop I bought my laptop like three days ago - if I'd known my laptop was gonna bust I'd have saved myself the money and spent it on repairs instead! Fml, right?
Any help you folks can offer would be very gratefully received - if it comes down to it and I have to fork out the money then I'll do so, but I'd like to explore community options first on the off chance that someone knows how to replace the mechanism and key without having to lug my computer all the way into the city to get it fixed xD
Thanks in advance!
Ehryn

It's pretty easy to do, get something thin like a credit card and run it along the bottom and sides of the keyboard and there are several bracket things that will pop the keyboard up when you pressure them. There will be a couple of cables to clip out behind it so lift it up gently.
You should be able to find a video on youtube anyway!

It shouldn't be too hard to track a replacement down.

How to replace key on keyboard

Hi
I can't replace a key that came of my keyboard. can someone help me?

Assuming you have a replacement key, or you have the one that came off...
Place the key in the correct orientation over the spot it came off of. Push down on the key so it fits into the indent that is under the key. If you hear a small snap or click, then it's locked to the plastic retainers and should not come off. If it comes up on only one side after this, then push firmly down on that side.
Hope this helps!

How to Replace the arrow key on Pavilion dv7

So, the left arrow key on the laptops keyboard popped out. My laptop is HP Pavilion dv7-6195us.
I'm living in Croatia, Europe, but I have found this site , and I want to order the key.
But the problem is I don't see my laptop model, specified above. Can you guys give me the exact link which key should I buy?
And if you know any better site for ordering the keyboard keys, please let me know.

Hi,
You should buy a new keyboard. I don't think that you can replace a key on a laptop keyboard (it won't last too long). I have a manual with all the part numbers so I guess that you will need the same keyboard as in Slovenia, because I can't find a dedicated keyboard for Croatia. The Czech rep and Slovakia use the same keyboard as well.
The part number for a black Slovenia keyboard is: 639396-BA1
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02842278.pdf
It looks like the laptop is from the US so the part number for the original keyboard is: 639396-001
I guess that you will have to stick with the US keyboard.

How to replace a field's search help of DDIC in FPM feeder class?

Hi All,
I want to replace a field's search help in DDIC structure, for an example, in structure HCMT_BSP_PA_XX_R0009, the field BANKL(Bank Keys) has a search help named 'H_BANKL', I want to replace this search help with other one such as 'H_BANKEY' in the FPM feeder class CL_HRESS_PER_DETAIL, I redefined such method:
method if_fpm_guibb_form~get_definition.
field-symbols: <fs_field_description> like line of et_field_description.
call method super->if_fpm_guibb_form~get_definition
importing
es_message = es_message
eo_field_catalog = eo_field_catalog
et_field_description = et_field_description
et_action_definition = et_action_definition
et_special_groups = et_special_groups
ev_additional_error_info = ev_additional_error_info.
read table et_field_description assigning <fs_field_description> with key name = 'BANKL'.
set search help name of field 'bank key'
if <fs_field_description> is assigned.
<fs_field_description>-ddic_shlp_name = 'H_BANKEY'
endif.
endmethod.
I test it and found the search help window was replaced indeed, but all the value of import/export parameters in the new search help was lost, it means, the value of import paramer BANKS(Bank country) and the export parameter BANKA(bank name) were lost. Only the value of BANKL itself can be returned by the new search help window. Can you give me some suggestions about how to maintain the link( value exchange) between structure HCMT_BSP_PA_XX_R0009 and dynamically defined search help 'H_BANKEY' in FPM feeder class?
I tried to use sap memory ID but it doesn't works well.

This question was answered at [Webdynpro Forum|how to replace a field's search help of DDIC in FPM feeder class?;:
That is because for the import and export of DDIC Search help values to work in WDA, not in FPM layer.Feeder Class can do nothing about it.

How to replace hard drive and transfer everything over?

I've looked everywhere but am unable to find a definitive guide on how to do this.
Currently I have an early 2011 MBP that came with Snow Leopard and upgraded to Lion later. It has an HDD and I want to replace it with an SSD and transfer everything over to the SSD. Considering Lion created a Recovery partition (and there is also an EFI partition), I'm confused on how to do this the best way to basically copy my current hard drive to the new SSD.
The best I've figured out is to connect the SSD with a SATA-USB cable, use the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant ( http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1433 ) to create a Recovery partition on the new SSD, then, booting into Recovery, install Lion on the new SSD, and then use Migration Assistant to transfer all my files over.
Is there a simpler or better-explained way to basically copy my current hard drive over to a new SSD and then remove the HDD and use the SSD?

How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) 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 installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

How to distinguish individual rows in a view?

As well known, we can use rowid to distinguish individual rows in a table. However, who know how to distinguish individual rows in a view? For there are not rowid in a view.

I'm not sure I usnderstand your question, or at least I hope I don't.
We do not use ROWID to distinguish rows in a table: we use unique iodentifiers, that is primary keys. A primary key is stable across the lifetime of a record: a rowid is guaranteed only for the lifetime of a transaction, and then only if we have locked that row.
From this it follows, we should so design our views that each row in the view has a column, or combination of columns, that uniquely identify it.
Cheers, APC
