IBook G3 startup shortcut key commands not working with OS 9?

My iBook does not recognize any of these key commands:
startup from disk holding "C"
target disk mode holding "T"
PRAM zap
etc...
The only command it listens to is Shift to turn extensions off. My keyboard works fine and none of the keys are stuck. I've never seen anything like this, what could it possibly be?

If there's a firmware password set on the computer, it needs to be removed first. This can be tested by pressing the Option key and seeing whether a padlock appears or the command is ignored.

  • Modifer keys do not work with mouse in Illustrator

    Below is a copy of a bug report I just submitted to Adobe. I don't suppose any users have run across this and found a solution or workaround?
    I found someone else with this problem in an archived topic thread, but the only response that poor fellow got was an accusation of not following instructions (His problem wasn't user error, BTW).
    Thanks
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    Modifer keys do not work with mouse: For example, free transform or rotate behaviors that require "Click-Ctrl" .
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. select object
    2. select free transform tool
    3. left click (without releasing) a corner of the bounding box.
    4. start dragging
    5. press ctrl
    Results:
    object behaves as though the ctrl key was not pressed. i.e. the cursor does not change shape and the object scales rather than distorts.
    Expected results: The cursor should change shape as the ctrl key is pressed and the object should distort rather than scale.
    Additional information: This behavior is intermittent. Occasionally Illustrator recognizes the "Click-Ctrl" combination and behaves exactly as the help file predicts it will. The cursor changes shape and the object distorts rather than scales. I can offer no rhyme or reason for when Illustrator will behave as advertised and when it will ignore the modifier keys.
    The example above involves the free transform tool, but the problem occurs just as often with other tool behaviors that require a modifier key + mouse combination.
    Primarily using Wacom Intuos3 tablet. (with latest drivers), but have also tried combinations with microsoft mouse or both mice installed.
    Also, immediately after an occurrence Illustrator bug, left AI open, went to a different app that uses mouse+modifier (Ctrl+Click). That different app recognizes Ctrl+Click with no problems whatsoever.

    Thanks Guys,
    Good to know it's working for you. I guess that's the nature of intermittent bugs. Of course, Adobe's bug report form has a field for version, which I, of course, filled in. Sorry I didn't add it to this post. I'm using the latest version CS3 v13.0.2.
    Stephen,
    Sorry I was not more clear when I said, "For example, ...". I was talking about the modifier keys not working with several different tools. The Free Transform tool advertises functionality that is supposed to work with a "Click (down, but don't release)then hold down Ctrl" combination. The Rotate tool advertises a behavior that is supposed to work with an "Alt-Click" combination. These are just 2 examples of the modifier keys not working. I focused primarily on one example in the bug report(ctrl after and in addition to click in the free transform tool, not alt-click in the rotate tool).
    Here is what I expect(quoted from Adobe's CS3 help file)
    (From the "Distort Objects with the Free transform tool" help topic)
    "Select one or more objects.
    Select the Free Transform tool .
    Start dragging a corner handle on the bounding box (not a side handle), and then do one of the following:
    Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) until the selection is at the desired level of distortion.
    Hold down Shift+Alt+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) to distort in perspective."
    (from the "Rotate an object by a specific angle" help topic:)
    You can control the exact angle of rotation with the Rotate command.
    Select one or more objects.
    "Do one of the following:
    To rotate around the center point, choose Object > Transform > Rotate, or double-click the Rotate tool.
    To rotate around a different reference point, select the Rotate tool. Then Alt‑click (Windows) or Option‑click (Mac OS) where you want the reference point to be in the document window.
    Enter the rotation angle in the Angle text box...."
    These Tool based mouse-key combinations do occasionally work as they are supposed to, so I know what the expected results are supposed to look like, but whether they work or not appears to depend on the phase of the moon, the day of the week, and the color of the president's underwear.
    Other non-tool based mouse-key combinations in Illustrator work consistently all the time - Ctrl-A for Select All as just one example that always works.
    Thanks Again

  • Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7

    I received a product key for Windows 7 Professional N whilst I was at University via Dreamspark. I'm building a new computer and when it's come to inputting the product key, it comes up saying Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7.
    The version I installed was Windows 7 Professional using an iso and a USB. I rang the phone activation number and when I got through to a representative, I gave him the product key and he said it is valid and should be working. He transferred me to technical
    services but instead I got cut off.
    At this point I'm really not sure what the issue is, the key was for Windows 7 Professional N, I installed Windows 7 Professional and customer support confirmed it as a valid key. Am I missing something?

    Post your issue to the Windows 7 Genuine Issues forum.  Here are the instructions on how to produce a diagnostic:
    MGA
    Diagnostic Report:
    To properly analyze and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once downloaded, run the tool.
    Click on the Continue button, after a short time, the Continue button will change to a Copy button.
    Click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your post.
    One
    Issue Per Thread:
    Most Activation and Validation issues look the same, on the surface, but can have many different causes and fixes. This is why we ask for a diagnostic report and this is also why we ask that you create your own thread for your issue (in other words,
    don't post your issue in another person's thread). 
    It just becomes too complicated to try to troubleshoot multiple different issues in the same thread.

  • My Shortcut Keys are not Working

    Hi everybody.
    I was working on a project for the past couple of days. All of a sudden my "JKL" keys are not working. My "spacebar" will start and stop a clip, but the JKL keys have no effect. Also, none of my other shortcut keys will work.
    The keys work when I go to another application.
    I trashed my preferences and emptied the trash... no change.
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance and Happy Thanksgiving!

    Hi Stuckfootage- thanks for responding.
    Should have mentioned that I restarted/rebooted a couple of times and even turned the machine off.
    No luck...

  • Hp t510 right alt key mapping not working with ctrl + s

    Using the HP t510 to launch a xendesktop session via storefront. We have a mission critical application that uses the ctrl + alt + s hotkey to secure itself. The left alt key with ctrl + s is working as it should but the right alt key does not. When testing in the win7 on screen keyboard the right alt and ctrl stay lit up. When hitting the S key after depressing both the  right alt + ctrl (right or left ctrl doesn't matter) the alt keys disappear from the on screen keyboard as if they were no longer pushed. They hotkey combination never makes it to the application and it does not secure itself.
    I've tested this same workflow on an ASUS thin client, desktop, and laptop hardware with no issues. It does in fact seem to be some hotkey mapping the HP device has baked into it using the right alt key.
    Has anyone seen any issues that even closely mimic this? I've seen some for ctrl + alt + del but their fixes don't work for this specific issue.

  • Enter key does not work with MSTSC

    I have SQL Develoepr 1.0.0.15.57 installed on a Windows Server 2003 (Ver. 5.2 SP 1). I use Microsoft Terminal Services Client (mstsc.exe) to get to that server from a Windows XP Professional (ver. 5.1 SP 1) box.
    When I use mstsc to get to the server and launch SQL Develoeper, it works...mostly. But the <enter> key does nothing. I've tried changing the line terminator (tools/preferences/line terminator) from "Platfor Dependant" to "Windows CR/LF" but that has no effect.
    The encoding is set to cp1252 which is the same as my local version on the XP Pro box (both 1.0.0.15 and the new beta 1.1.0.21) which work fine.
    Any ideas why the enter key would not work when using mstsc from an XP box to a Windows Server 2003 box?
    Thanks,
    Shelby

    Look in Tools| Preferences | Accelerators and see if you have a key defined for 'insert new line'.

  • Message shortcut key does not work in Safari

    Hi there,
    I've a shortcut key specified for sending links through Message app while I'm in Safari. (Command + Ctrl + M).
    It appears in the system preferences and I can even see the shortcut symbol in Safari but it simply doesn't work. I has worked randomly for sometime but does not work anymore. (Changing the keyboard combination hasn't helped either)
    Any idea ?

    Hi,
    Try shutting down the iMac. Disconnect the keyboard. Wait about 5 minutes. Reconnect the keyboard and restart the iMac. See if the Return key works now.
    If not, since it's so new, take the keyboard back for a replacement.

  • Upgrade to 10.4.11 now Expose shortcut keys do not work

    I upgraded about a week ago, and noticed the F-9 - F-12 keys not working. Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Rich

    Hi Steve. Not exactly sure what you've suggested to do. System Preferences > Dashboard & Expose shows the default keys selected i.e. All Windows F-9, Application Windows F-10, Desktop F-11 and Dashboard F-12. System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse show the above shortcut keys all checked for Dock, Expose & Dashboard. Button 3 on the mouse is also selected for the Dashboard and it does nothing. The mouse does scroll using button 3.

  • Key commands not working

    I found an old post about this, but it didn't seem to have a solution to the problem.
    Some key commands I assign simply don't work. They even show up in the menus, but don't do anything (one example, I tried assigning shift-m for Create Marker without Rounding).
    Also, when the key command window is open, typing some key commands jumps to the assigned command, but with others it doesn't (I can see one of the menus at the top flash, as if it's trying to actually do the command). One example of this is command-m which is assigned to open movie. (oddly, getting rid of open movie and changing command M to create marker without rounding worked, although it still didn't jump to it in the list)
    If the function to show used key commands isn't working, how am I supposed to know what's free for additional key commands?
    I'm using the standard US keyboard, standard key commands in tiger (which don't seem to overlap any of the ones I'm tweaking).
    Any ideas on this? It's very frustrating and a big waste of time.

    It's also a pain that the key command window shows codes for the keys instead of what the keys actually are. <<</div>
    Actually, there are 2 methods for simultaneously assigning/viewing the assignment; one shows you alphanumeric charaters and one shows the key codes. But it is true that some key assignments won't work unless they're assigned as key codes.
    I agree -- it's time to either revamp this window (with all of the features you mentioned) or offer an explanation as to how it actually works so that people like us aren't left pulling our hair our because this window's functions don't always seems to work properly. Something like:
    "Hi, this is the Apple/Logic guys. We realize that some users find the Key Commands window to be problematic. Well..."
    and then it could go on in some of the following ways...
    a) there are a few things that don't work properly, such as X/Y/Z... We're hoping to fix the problem in the next release of Logic..."
    or
    b) if you're trying to assign (whatever) to (a function) and it doesn't work, try this instead...
    or
    c) if you're trying to assign (whatever) to (a function) and it doesn't work, please know there's an issue with this particular aspect of the Key Commands window that will be fixed in a future release...
    That's the kind of thing I think we'd all love to see.
    Maybe that's enough venting for now. Wouldn't want to attract the attention of the "venting police" LOL

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
    Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
    BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I installed the "Value Added Package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) which contains the "Flash Cards Utility". In my understanding, the installation of the "Value Added Package" should enable the Fn keys usage.
    This doesn't seem to be true or not completely true.
    Here is what happens.
    - Before the installation of the "Value Added Package" all the Fn keys didn't work.
    - After the installation of the "Value Added Package", if the TCrdMain.exe process is running, all the Fn keys don't work.
    - If I remove the TCrdMain.exe from the startup and I reboot the PC, only some Fn keys work (Fn+ESC, Fn+F1).
    There is no way (or I didn't find a way) to make all the Fn keys working.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
    Thanx in advance,
    mme000

    I do not know for sure but it can be because of SP1. I have installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and all listed stuff (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.
    Does your installations Vista DVD contains SP1 or you have installed it on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate (without SP1) and all stuff from Toshiba support site following Installations Instructions order.

  • Midi keyboard key A2 not working with Logic Pro 8

    Hello
    I was using an m-audio keyrig 49 for a good 3 months, when all of a sudden the A2 key stopped working properly. The transport bar in logic shows that midi data is being received when I press A2, however there is no velocity value. The key only makes a sound when I'm going from another key to it, and even when that happens there is a sustain effect on the note, which aren't on any other keys.
    I have tested this on midi keyboards from m-audio, novation, and edirol... keyboards that require drivers and keyboards that don't require drivers.
    Any ideas?

    Try redefining the key commands. Sometimes they can be a little flaky when importing earlier key commands. Redefining them might "unstick" them...
