What key combination cleans up system files on restart?
My system has become slow and I think it has a lot of junk files and such that need to be deleted. I remember there is a key combination that you can use on a restart to delete this files. Anyone remember what that combination is?

Wish it was that easy. The most simple way is to empty your trash.

Can not start up on my Macbook pro. All I get is a grey spinning wheel. Tried all the Startup key combinations and nothing works. I reset the NVRAM and nothing. I booted with start up disk , ran disk repair and all is ok. Tried to re-install OS but when I get to designating drive its blank. When I go to startup disk there is a "?" mark. When I restart under startup disk search for a drive it still comes up with nothing. Before I got the grey spinning wheel I had a locked screen. Could not move curser or click on anything. Finally just shut down. Thank you in advance for any help!
Shouldn't still have a 'beachballing'... if the drive is being found and the system is trying to boot from it but is having problems, I would suggest looking over ds store's user tip - Step by step to fix your Mac.
It's likely either something corrupt in your system files or a failing hard drive. But follow ds's steps until you find the cause of the problem.
Good luck,

i switched to the classic 'landscape' and when i reboot, it just stays at the greay screen, with the macintosh logo, and a blinking question mark. ive tried several methods of key combinations with rebooting etc.. i just bought this. please help.
I bought this off of craigslist with my christmas money, TODAY. i really need help, i have OS X experience from school, just not OS 9x. I need to reboot back to OS X asap. anything that may help is very appreciated. Thank You.
Chris.Are you able to start up in Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455?viewlocale=en_US
If this works you will see the normal desktop Once completely started up in Safe Mode, try to restart normally and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, ("Macintosh HD" unless it has been renamed). What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Repair permissions on it.
See if you are able to do a little hard drive maintenance to help things out. -
Key combination to choose startup disk
My Windows partition is hosed. How do I get back to a screen that lets me choose my start-up disk? I can't remember the key or key combination.
Thank you,
NancyResetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
>>Turn on the computer.
>>>Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information. If issues persist, your Mac's logic board battery (not a portable Mac's rechargeable battery) may need to be replaced. The logic board battery helps retain NVRAM/PRAM settings when your computer is shut down. You can take your Mac to a Mac Genius or Apple Authorized Service Provider to replace the battery on the logic board.
you don't press them at the same time as the power button, and it's Option, not shift -
Change the font color of a text field in a table by key-combination
I want to change the font color of a text field in a table (single cell only) on pressing a key combination. Does anybody know how to do this.
I have a lot of data in a table. During an evaluation of the data in a meeting I want to change the color of the text depending on the result of the meeting. (for example: High risk = CTRL+R makes the text red).
I know how to change the color using a button, but I do not want to add a button after each cell. For this reason I would like to do it on a key combination that alway refers to the active cell.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
MarcelHi,
I don't think you can use the ctrl key like that as those shortcuts will be intercepted by Reader (ctrl-R toggles the ruler display on / off). You also might have trouble updating the color while you still have focus on it. You can use the shift key in a similar way, so if you only have lower case characters in the text fields then you can do something like;
if (xfa.event.shift)
switch (xfa.event.change)
case "R":
this.fontColor = "255,0,0";
break;
case "O":
this.fontColor = "255,102,0";
break;
case "G":
this.fontColor = "0,255,0";
break;
xfa.event.change = ""; // ignore character
If you need uppercase characters maybe you can have one button to set "review mode" and test that on the if (xfa.event.shift) line. But again it wont take effect until you have tabbed out of the field.

Okay, so I have been having trouble with my mail application all week. The window refused to open and would not quit. Today, I tried to shut down my mac and a pop up window told me that I was unable to shutdown because mail was open. After using a key combination, I successfully was able to quit mail with force quit. Then I was able to shut down with out a problem. However, upon rebooting, my computer refused to let me loggin. I put in my password correctly but then the rainbow pinwheel showed up and stalled for a minute and then my screen flashed and the gray screen reappeared, expecting a password. I tried turning it off and back on again with no luck. I also reset my password after reading a similar discussion, but I still can't log in. How can I fix this?

Is there a way to create a custom shortcut key to paste my email address? I would like to be able to press a key combination that will paste whatever I set it to, i.e. my email address.
There are multiple ways to do similar things. One, built into the system, is to use text replacement. See:
http://www.tuaw.com/2009/12/31/mac-101-making-text-replacement-work/
There are other programs you can buy that can do the job in different ways, such as TextExpander. You could also just create a clipping file by dragging your e-mail address to somewhere like the desktop, and then you can simply drag that file to wherever you like to insert your e-mail address there. -
Key combination Ctrl-Home Ctrl-End not working.
vim has a default binding for <Ctrl-Home> goes to the beginning of the file and <Ctrl-End> for the end.
However, I couldn't get these key combinations to work for me. And I've consulted the #vim channel on freenode.
They said it maybe a problem that the terminal I'm using caught the key and didn't send it to vim, but I find this conjecture hard to believe, because I've since been testing several terminals including xfce's default, roxterm, tilda, lxterminal, lilyterm ... and none of them working.
Later when I reboot I found that, even under the pure console (tty), the combination still doesn't work !
So this must be a problem from the original key mapping itself, and not latter stuffs like xfce, terminals and editors etc...
can anyone help me fix this ? I've also seen the wiki articles but unfortunately they aren't very helpful.The <C-{Home,End,Left,Right}> key combinations work in Xterm, but not in urxvt. All of the terminals that I recognize mentioned above are all VTE based terminals. This thread here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … +bug/89660
is showing a lot of people with gnome-terminal, also VTE based, as not working either. It's definitely a terminal issue.
The following page explains how to get Vim to recognize key combos that are usually trapped or unmapped by the terminal:

How to get Multiple Key Combinations
Hi,
I am trying to get the event for multiple key combinations, ie some thing like "*Ctrl + I + M*" or "*Alt + A + S + D*".
For two key combinations ( like Ctrl+I or Ctrl+M) i am able to get, but for more than two keys combinations, can someone give an idea how to get it.
I tried with both KeyCodeCombination and KeyCharacterCombination.
Below is a quick example to check for the key combination demo.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyCharacterCombination;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyCode;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyCodeCombination;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyCombination;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyEvent;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class KeyCombinationDemo extends Application {
Stage stage;
Scene scene;
StackPane root;
public static void main(String[] args) {
Application.launch(args);
@Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
this.stage = stage;
root = new StackPane();
root.getChildren().add(new Label("Enter any Key"));
this.scene = new Scene(root, Color.LINEN);
stage.setTitle(this.getClass().getSimpleName());
stage.setWidth(600);
stage.setHeight(600);
stage.setScene(this.scene);
stage.show();
final KeyCombination keyComb1=new KeyCodeCombination(KeyCode.I,KeyCombination.CONTROL_DOWN);
final KeyCharacterCombination keyComb2 = new KeyCharacterCombination("M",KeyCombination.CONTROL_DOWN);
this.scene.addEventHandler(KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED, new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(KeyEvent event) {
if(keyComb1.match(event)){
System.out.println("Ctrl+I pressed");
}else if(keyComb2.match(event)){
System.out.println("Ctrl+M pressed");
}Thanks in Advance.

Sai Pradeep Dandem.Hi John,
Thanks for the prompt response.
I tried the way you suggested and it worked well !! Thanks :)
But, still i am expecting a direct way to handle this. :p
Anyway here is code which i modified accordingly
final String keyCombination1 = "_ALT_E_O";
final String keyCombination2 = "_ALT_E_P";
final String keyCombination3 = "_CONTROL_H";
final StringBuilder key = new StringBuilder();
this.scene.addEventHandler(KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(KeyEvent event) {
String codeStr = event.getCode().toString();
if(!key.toString().endsWith("_"+codeStr)){
key.append("_"+codeStr);
this.scene.addEventHandler(KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED, new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(KeyEvent event) {
if(key.length()>0){
if(key.toString().equals(keyCombination1)){
System.out.println("Key Combination 1 pressed");
}else if(key.toString().equals(keyCombination2)){
System.out.println("Key Combination 2 pressed");
}else if(key.toString().equals(keyCombination3)){
System.out.println("Key Combination 3 pressed");
key.setLength(0);
});Thanks & Regards,

The "Quit all applications" key combination no longer works in Lion
The standard Mac OS key combination to "quit all applications" no longer works in Lion. It only quits some of them some of the time - not all of them all of the time. Could this have something to do with the other "no Save-As" problem?
Either way, it's yet another backwards step - one of several in Lion that are cumulatively slowing down and intefering with my workflow.
I fear someone may jump in here and explain that this is one of the great new features and that it's my fault for being too dumb to appreciate it.....Your workflow is valuable to us; your opinions help us solve problems.

Importing Key Combinations of a Lookup table.
Hi, I have created a lookup table which is equivalent to a check table in R3. For example table named, SPT (Special Procurement Type), Which has a key combination (Composite Keys) in R3 itself and the keys are Plant + Procurement Type and so in MDM Look table both keys are defined as display fields. The problem comes in automating the import. In IM source, both key fields are separate fields, I tried combining the field using Partion, but Automap is not working and so the import automation process. Any thoughts/advices on tackling this issue is appreciated.
Thanks
Job.Hi Job,
IF u combine the fields in partition and then if try to do value mapping automatically,then it is not possible .There u have to map manualy .Automap in value mapping can be done only when values are not combination but single.
Like
Source----
Destination
abc----
<null>
def----
abc
xyz----
def
xyz
But if it is like:
Source----
Destination
abc,12----
<null>
def,23 -
abc,12
def,23
in above case it is a combination so not possible.
I hope u im able to make u understand.
If this has helped u then do Reward points.

Neethu Joy

Control key combinations in Keyboard Shortcuts
I want to use the Control key plus letters, such as Ctrl-H, for shortcuts within Keyboard Shortcuts. I appreciate that such combinations are normally used by EMACS but I fail to understand what's happening in the Keyboard Shortcuts section of my Keyboard panel in System Prferences. It allows me to enter the Control key plus letter as my required shortcut but the shortcut never works. Any other shortcut, using other modifiers, even in combination with the Control key works fine. Now I have other utilities, such as FastScripts and Spark that allow me to use such combinations, so why can't they be used in Keyboard Shortcuts?
If anyone else has this problem and knows of an answer it would be much appreciated!Well, the Keyboard Shortcuts panel doesn’t show the warning triangle as shown for other conflicts. Shouldn't the panel reject such key combinations if they're not available? Instead it shows them as being OK. I would have thought it reasonable to use such key combinations in non-EMACS applications anyway. Also, why is it that other utilities make it possible to use them? Most odd. I'll just have to use other methods I suppose!

Two printers need to be maintained for one key combination
Hi Experts,
Requirement:-For one condition record two print out has to be determined on different printers.
As per my understanding we can maintain only one printer for any key combination here as per the requirement if some one has any idea if we can maintain two printers for the same key combination.
Regards,
DharmeshHi,
You cannot assign two printers to one single combination of Condition record.
This functionality is not possible.
