I need to remap my keyboard, how do I do it on 10.5?

I have tried FunctionFlip, Spark, and DoubleCommand, and none of them solved my issue ( I cannot install Flip4MacBook because there is DoubleCommand files hidden somewhere in my system ). The mute button, the volume up button, and the volume down button do not do anything. How do I fix this?

If you are not going to use DoubleCommand you should find out how to uninstall it. Dangling kernel extensions can cause problems down the road.
<http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/help.html>
Look at System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard tab -> Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.
Is this selected? If so, unslect it, or hold the 'fn' key when pressing the mute, up/down volume keys.
With respect to keyboard remapping, I have found KeyRemap4MacBook to be most useful, and for creating Hotkeys I like to use BetterTouchTool (mostly because it makes my trackpad so much better, and hotkey creation is just a bonus).
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/25141/keyremap4macbook>
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/32953/bettertouchtool>
But, again, if you are not going to be using DoubleCommand, uninstall it. NOTE: I do not have anything against DoubleCommand. I used it for years, until I found KeyRemap4MacBook. Mostly I make the "Right-Option" key another 'fn' key which makes it easier for me to use the arrow keys as page up/down keys.

Need help remapping new keyboard

I got a new keyboard for my Mac but some of the keys don't seem to be working as I need them. The keyboard is made to function with both OSX and iOS, so it has some F buttons that will work for both, such as volume, brightness, etc. However, some of the regular keys have been replaced to work with iOS, the most important ones being the ESC key and the Eject key. The keys won't work as what I need them to and I can't seem to find a program that will let me just remap them to those keys. What can I do to map those keys properly?

Hey rios741416,
Have you already tried using the options in the Keyboard pane of the system preferences to accomplish this goal?
OS X Mavericks: Change keyboard, mouse, and trackpad settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14317
To change settings for your keyboard, use the Keyboard pane of System Preferences.
You can adjust the key repeat and make other changes to keyboard keys, choose text options, modify keyboard shortcuts, and choose a different input source (such as Greek or Chinese).
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

Need help remapping my keyboard

I just recently purchased an iMac and there are only a few things about the keyboard that I'm having trouble getting around. I need help assigning a different function to a couple of keys.
1.) I need the 'Home' key to go to the beginning of the first word on that line
2.) I need the 'End' key to go to the last letter of last word
3.) I would very much like for the cursor to follow me when I hit page down or page up
Any help would be appreciated. I'm not techy or a 'computer whizz' by any definition of the word so go easy on me if you can!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Take a look at DoubleCommand (link).
The Home and End keys do work in some applications without extra software... MS Word is one example.

I have bought an iPad 4 retina and an Apple mini. I bought also a Targus Versavu Bluetooth keyboard. I ma french speaking and I have problems with the french accents that I can't find. I called Targus who said that I need to call Apple. How can I program the french accents on my Bluetooth keyboard on both computers? I don't want to be à ping--pong ball. Michel Mondou

I would echo BGreg's advice and stick to official Apple refurbished Minis sold through the store.apple.com site. They will have a 1-year warranty and be eligible for AppleCare. And they will have current OSX and iLife software.
The term "refurbished" is often abused by other retailers who apply it to used computers that have been returned by unhappy customers -- but have not actually been fully diagnosed or repaired.
The 1.66 GHz model you list is rather long in the tooth. At least get a Core2Duo model, rather than a CoreDuo.
The links to the offical Apple refurbs are here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB138LL/A
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB463LL/A
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB139LL/A
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB464LL/A
You'll have to check these links daily for a week or more to find them in stock.
I'd be very leery of buying AppleCare via *bay.
But lacomputercompany appears to sell genuine boxed AppleCare at prices close to Apple's educational price for AppleCare.
On another topic you brought up ... for desktop publishing on a budget I'd strongly endorse SwiftPublisher. Just enough features, just the right price -- and to my mind, works more intuitively than Apple's Pages program.

Either of these should help.

Or search 'disk size' in the App Store.
Be carefull with what you delete & have a backup BEFORE you start, you may also want to reboot to try to free any memory that may have been written to disk.

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?

I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS. After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc. Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
That said, any tips?
Thanks
It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom. I've posted that as another question.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.

I need your expert opinion on how to create a map with multiple conditions.

Hello.
I need your expert opinion on how to create a map with multiple conditions.
I have a procedure (which i cannot import or re-create in OWB due to the bug), so i am trying to create a map instead :-(
How can i create a cursors within the map?
My function creates table and cursor.
Then it will have to check for duplicates in the tables (the one created and another table) - the criteria for finding duplicates is a number of fields.I then need to place few different conditions (if some attributes are not available) and it has to load cursor based on this conditions. The next step is to fetch the data into the cursor based on what attributes are missing.
The next thing it will do is insert the data into table (if record doesn't exist), output the error in separate table is record is corrupted, or update the record with changed information.
In short i need to re-create match / merge but with conditions, iterations etc 'built into' it.
I can read up on available functions - it's just what would be the best options? and what would be the best approach to do so?
In my function i use %rowtype - but cannot use it in owb - so what would be the alternative? i don't really want to create a lot of variables and then have a nightmare of maintaing it. are there any tips regarding this?
having looked through Oracle dedupe - it's not really what i need because it is just DISTINCT.
I would appreciate any help / advise on this.
Thank you very much

thanks a lot for your reply - i will look into this option :-)
it is a bit more complicated now as i have to re-create the match / merge and then somehow 'tweak' it to achieve the result i need.
At the moment i am looking to breakdown the package into smaller chunks 'functions' and try creating the map that way.
Anyway, thank you very much for your suggestion.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

If it's the same computer, same CPU and same HD, no de-activation or re-activation should be necessary.
Install from scratch and apply all updates manually.
Please do a forum search. I and others have repeatedly answered the question about failed updates of CS5 a whole bunch of times recently.
Bottom line: the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions. You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.
