HT1171 forward delete on windows 7

im using the Mac's wireless keyboard on my PC running windows 7. Which key combinations produce the forward delete?

After reading as many blogs as available I came across one by lesliebarry.com He provided a link to download a program Unofficial Apple Wireless Keyboard Support (UAWKS). This worked! People have to keep in mind that the Apple Wireless keyboard works differently on Apple devices than Windows OS computers. The UAWKS remapped the keyboard to make than similar. Thank you Leslie!

HT1171 How do I forward-delete in Windows using an Apple Wireless Keyboard?

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1171 says that forward-delete maps to but that key doesn't exist on an Apple Wireless Keyboard (as far as I can tell). Anyone know how to achieve this, as well as home, page up, and page down functions?
I've tried https://code.google.com/p/uawks/downloads/detail?name=Install UAWKS 2008.09.17.exe and uxsoft.cz/projects/awk, but these don't support forward-delete, home, page up, or page down.
Thanks!

Fn and delete works for deleting stuff to the right of the cursor, if that's what you mean?

HT1171 forward delete button

where is the forward delete button? I don't have it on my wireless bluetooth keyboard?

On an iPad this function is still one apple is to provide. On your Mac wireless keyboard it is the usual hold down the fn key and the tap the delete key.

How do I get forward delete to work on a PC w/ an Apple Wireless Keyboard?

Hello,
I have successfully connected an Apple Wireless Keyboard to my Toshiba Portege laptop which is running Windows Vista. The keyboard is working fine but my laptop won't recognize the 'fn+delete' command to execute a forward delete. I've searched quite a bit online but I can't figure out how to replicate the forward delete functionality, which I use all the time, with my Apple Wireless Keyboard. Anyone have suggestions or ideas about other key combinations which may work or mapping software I can use on my laptop to get this done? Thanks very much!

Forward Delete Key in Mail

Where does a message go in Mail when one presses the forward delete key? I thought I was pressing "page down," and pressed forward delete by mistake. I thought the message would go to the Trash folder, but apparently not.

open up a terminal (either type in "terminal" in spotlight search (the magnify glass in top right corner) or in the Finder (New Folder Window) Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and enter:
defaults write com.apple.mail IgnoreSortOrderWhenSelectingAfterDelete 1

How to forward delete I can only backwards delete

how to forward delete I can only backwards delete. Is there a way using the keyboard to delete in the forward direction. The delete key seems to only delete backwards

When using irssi in Terminal, backspace doesn't work, forward delete does

When using irssi (the command line IRC client) in 'screen' over SSH on Terminal.app, backspace (delete) doesn't work. I have to use forward delete (in my case, fn+delete). Is there any way to enable backspace delete?

I should also add that I saw instructions on how to fix this for OS X Tiger, but Terminal.app in Leopard seems to have changed.

"If you're on a Macbook Pro laptop, and using irssi with screen on a remote machine via ssh...
If your backspace key is acting as a 'delete'-key in irssi in screen, Hit command+I, in terminal to bring up your window preferences, under the Keyboard settings, tick 'Delete key sends backspace' - that should fix that."
{quote}
The problem is that Leopard's Terminal doesn't have a "Delete key sends backspace" option to toggle. Does anyone know where I can find this?

My BT keyboard delete button now forward deletes rather than backspacing like it used to do. This happened after I got my iMac back from the hard drive replacement program. Any ideas how to return the keyboard to the default backspace?

The good news after my hard drive was replaced during Apple's Seagate replacement program -- all my data and settings reinstalled seamlessly through Time Machine and my external hard drive. Bad news? My BT keyboard will now only forward delete when I hit the delete key rather than backward delete. I find this so ironic since I hated this feature when I switched from PC to Mac, but now I'm totally used to it. I tried resetting the default under system preferences, but it didn't help. Otherwise, keyboard works perfectly. This is so strange. Anyone have any suggestions? Oh -- and now I see my arrows don't work either.

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically. I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive. will that delete the windows partition too??

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto. I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system. My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too. If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

I accidentally deleted my windows partition

I had created a 100GB partition for windows on my 500GB hard disk from BootCamp and accidentally deleted the windows partition and I've got that 100GB free that I cannot use anymore. The partition cannot be resized and that's it. Please suggest a way in which I can get rid of that free space and resize my hard disk without losing ant data.

there are 2 options here,
1) use bootcamp assistant to delete your failed partition and reinstall windows. or,
The OP has already deleted it, can't delete it again
2) using disc utility open your hdd (use the original branded name, not the short name of the same drive)
select "partition" highlight your failed partition, click the minus button then click apply. this will give you your 100GB back. from here you will be able to start over with bootcamp again if you wish.
Once more, the partition is already deleted, how can it be deleted again?

I have a new iPad Air and in using the App Store, it seems frozen with an app that I didn't want. I cannot look at other apps in the store or anything. How do I unfreeze it? Something equivalent to Control Alt Delete with Window.

I have an iPad Air just acquired yesterday. The App Store seems to be frozen and I have on idea how to undo it. It is as if i clicked on an app to download and it came up but it is frozen. I cannot get rid of it or go to anything else in the App Store. I tried downloading that app and opening it - didn't help. Guess what I am looking for is the equivalent of Control +Alt+Delete in Windows. Thanks.

Double tap your home button and open apps will appear above as smaller screen shots. With your finger swipe the open app upwards and it will fully close.
The cntrl/alt/delete option on an iPad is a reboot and to do so, press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.

My forward delete no longer works when searching or editing on Itunes since installing an update

My forward delete no longer works when searching or editing on Itunes since installing an update. Anyone else have that problem? Any fixes?

Have you tried:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

Ctrl+alt delete in Windows XP. Where is Pause button?

How to do the ctrl+alt delete in Windows XP?
Where can I find the Pause button you see on regular keyboard?

Search the Discussion Board using "ctrlaltdel" as the string. There are a number of possible solutions posted, including key remappers and external keyboards. kierrep posted the following answer earlier this month, and the questioner gave the post a star:
Try "input remapper" instead:
http://www.olofsson.info/
this programm is amazing for windows on a mac!
-it enables the fn-keys (for display brightnes and volume)
-the right click is the second enter key on your key board
-fn-eject works like print screen
-for contorl-alt-delte: fn-ctrl-alt-backspace (of course: delete = fn-backspace)
Just an advice: if you have problems or questions about boot camp, try http://forum.onmac.net/
It is a nice forum and almost every question has already been discussed there. Just use the search function.

After restarting my computer firefox is deleted for Windows, when i try to open firefox a message pops up saying the program has been moved from its original location and is unable to run How do I get Firefox on my computer permanently?

After restarting my computer firefox is deleted for Windows, when i try to open firefox a message pops up saying the program has been moved from its original location and is unable to run How do I get Firefox on my computer permanently?

I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

Shift+Delete = Forward Delete is Driving Me Mad

Is there any way to make Shift+Delete do normal backward-delete instead of forward-delete?
Edit a keyboard layout maybe?
