HT2448 I have a Macally Keyboard with no Eject key. What do I use instead?

The HT2448 article shows all kinds of shortcuts for shutdown, restart, etc They all use the Eject key in the upper right corner of an Apple Keyboard. But one of my computers has a Macally keyboard without Eject. Is there some other key I can use? I've tried F12, but that does nothing. Is there some escape sequence I can use to recode a key, like F12, to get it to act like an Eject key?

Is it the Restart/Shutdown options you want?
The key combo of Control+Eject, (F12), may bring up the Restart/Shutdown Dialog box and the 1st letter of each will select that button.
Command+Option+esc = Bring up Force Quit window
Command+Control+eject = Restart immediately
Command+Option+Control+eject = Shutdown immediately
Command+Control+power button = Force restart

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. How do I fix?

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. This means I can't use the computer anymore. How do I fix? I tried using the Command+F2 keyboard shortcut, but it doesnt' work. It's possible that since I reinstalled the OS, it still needs to be set up, so there's only a welcome screen (but since I can't see it I'm not sure).

There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.

Hard disk in mums macbook failed, bought a new one, formatted it first. Have tried starting it with every possible key and I either get flashing question mark folder or a cursor.

Hard disk in mums macbook failed, bought a new one, used sata adapter cable to format it for mac first. Connected it and have tried starting it with every possible key combination and I either get flashing question mark folder or a cursor. A disk is stuck in it so I can't boot from OSX, and yes I have tried every option of starting to try and eject disk but none work. HELP ME!

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
If you have a 2010 MBP or later, then you can use Internet Recovery. Start by rebooting the computer. At the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION-R keys until a Globe appears in the upper part of the screen. This process can take upwards of 15 minutes to get connected to the Apple network servers. You should eventually see the utility screen of the Recovery HD. You may now go about the process to install Mountain Lion:
Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. 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. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

It needs to be in iTunes, with home sharing enabled on computer and Apple TV. When computer is on and running iTunes you will be able to access via the Computers icon on Apple TV

Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do? I spent 6 hours on the pic and I dont even have a screenshot or anything.

You don't even say what platform you are on, or any other details that may help others assist you.
If you are on a Mac, try opening your file in GraphicConverter (they have a demo version) if that doesn't open it, nothing will, in my experience.
I assume you have tried Adobe Illustrator already to recover.
You may also have a JPEG of your complete file (flattened) in Bridge Cache.
On the Mac you'd find it in your User ~Library (NOT the Root Library ):
Users > yourname > Library > Caches > Adobe > Bridge CS6 > Cache > 1024 > jpg(fileID)number Filename.psd.jpg
The user ~Library is hidden, but you can make it visible for an moment or two. Ask Apple if you don't know how.
I don't do Windows.

I need to use the "apple key" which is, I presume the command key, but I do not have an apple keyboard; is there a key on a logitech keyboard which will serve the purpose?

I need to use the "Apple key" which I presume is the command key; my computer does not have an apple keyboard; is there a key on a logitech keyboard which will serve the same purpose?

The "Windows flag" key on PC keyaboard in Commans, "Alt" is option.
Go to Logitech website to see if they have Mac compatibility software (Logictech Control Center) to make mappings a bit more complex).

Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTS:Password" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for use in specified state

we have developed packages to do the followings
Extract data from DB2 Source and put it in MS Sql Server 2008 database (Lets Say DatabaseA).From MS Sql Server 2008 (DatabaseA)
we will process the data and place it in another database MS Sql Server 2008 (DatabaseB)
We have created packages in BIDS..We created datasource connection in Datasource folder in BIDS..Which has DB2 Connection and both Ms Sql Server connection (Windows authentication-Let
say its pointing to the server -ServerA which has DatabaseA and DatabaseB).The datasource connections will be used in packages during development.
For deployment we have created Package Configuration which will have both DB2 Connection and MS SqlServer connection in the config
We deployed the packages in different MS SqlServer by changing the connectionstring in the config for DB2 and MS SqlServer...
While runing the package we are getting the following error message
Code: 0xC0016016 Source: Description: Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTS:Password" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for
use in specified state.". You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available.

Hi Surendiran,
This is because the package has been created by somebody else and the package is being deployed under sombody else's account. e.g. If you are the creator then the package is encryption set according to your account and the package setup in SQL server is
under a different user account.
This happens because the package protection level is set to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey which encrypts
sensitive information using creator's account name.
As a solution:
Either you have to set up the package in SQL server under your account (which some infrastructures do not allow).
OR
Set the package property Protection Level to "DontSaveSensitive" and add a configuration file
to the package and set the initial values for all the variables and all the connection manager in that configuration file (which might be tedious of-course).
OR
The third options (which I like do) is to open the package file and delete the password encryption entries from the package. Do note that this is not supported by designer and every time you make changes to the connection managers these encryption entries come
back.
Hope this helps.

Does apple have a wireless keyboard with numeric keypad

Does any one know if apple has a wireless keyboard with a numeric keypad if not they should make one

Hello:
Apple stopped making wireless keyboards with numeric pads some time ago. If you want an Apple KB with a numeric pad, you need to get a USB one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B?n=keyboards&fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&s=topSe llers
if not they should make one
That is a matter of opinion. I never use (or want to use) a numeric keypad and LIKE the smaller Bluetooth KB footprint.

Keyboard with more soft keys

I have recently bought HP Compaq 6730b notebook (product number: NB019EA#AKD). It is a good notebook but there is one issue that I don't like. Pressing keys on keyboard is too hard for me to be comfortable. My local HP call center told that HP doesn't have replacement keyboards with softer keys. Of course I expected this answer. But they also told that I can try to obtain keyboard replacement from other producers. There can be some keyboards from no name companies that can be more soft. Do you know such keyboards? I don't want to buy one and pay for transport to my country if I am not sure about it if it is better keyboard than I already have.
My keyboard number is 487136-B31, but I think that it is common for all HP keyboards.

Generally what do you think about keyboards in HP? Do you think similarly as I or not?

I have a new computer with OS X Mountain Lion. I used Entourage before. Can I use it with this OS?

I would like to use Entourage on my new computer. Is this possible and how do I get it from my old laptop to the new one?

Yes you can. It should have transferred to your new computer without any problems if you used the Migration Assistant app. I recently purchased a new iMac 27" & transferrred Office 2008 for Mac with out any problems. It is working perfectly.

HT2305 I have a new PC with Windows 7. What should I download for my iPhone

I have a new PC with Windows 7 and an iPhone 3G....Which version of iTunes should I download onto my new pc so I can sync phone with pc....I'm pretty low tech guy...need help....thanks! Mark New

Download the latest version of iTunes for Windows in the appropriate version for your OS (32 or 64 bit) for syncing. Download QuickTime for Windows for playback videos in iTunes (it's not included anymore). This stuff you can get on Apple's download pages. For syncing your iPhone contacts with Win 7 you need a version of Outlook.

OSX 10.4.9 - Keyboard CD Drawer ejection key won't work

I've two G5 Power PC's. Neither cd drawers will open after the latest OS download from apple. Anyone else experiencing this?

The Eject key now requires a longer keystroke to open. Is that right?? On my Mac it still would not work.
After hours of searching the Net and checking all my settings I found that it would not work because I have Slow Keys on as an accessibility feature to assist me with typing as I have a tremor in my hands.
Not Happy Apple!! Now I can either have easier typing or a CD drawer that functions... go figure!
