If you "lose" your arrow keys under KDE4.x, try this ...

I've been goofing around a lot lately with various manifestations of KDE4.almost2. Somewhere along the way I "lost" my arrow keys. I tried a lot of fiddling around till I finally stumbled on this easy workaround:
Go to System Settings / General / Regional and Language / Keyboard Layout and disable keyboard layouts. This returned my arrow keys to full functionality.
This is evidently a bug or bug-like, at any rate, since my alternate keyboard layouts in no way tampered with the mapping of the cursor control or arrow keys.
I imagine I can now safely re-enable my alternate keyboard layouts, but since I'm so rarely using them, I'm leaving well enough alone for now.
Here's where Google turned up this workaround: https://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/ … 3&forum=12

Such as a computer keyboard.
With BACKSPACE, TAB WITH SETTINGS, DELETE, TYPE OF TYPE, BOLD TYPE, UNDERLINE ETC....
I HAVE A KEYBOARD COVER AND IF I NEED TO USE CERTAIN KEYS I HAVE TO SWITCH TO MY KEYBOARD CASE AND THAT IS VERY INCONVENIENT.
IT IS ALSO A TIME WASTER.
When you installed iOS 8 did you read about the new features? Applications can create custom keyboards…

You need to look for an app that has a custom keyboard with the features you require, I suggest you find one without CAPSLOCK

Again you need to look at how to manage the device - these settings can be turned off already & you can edit the 'suggestions' too.
Settings > General > Keyboards > turn Auto-Correction Off.
Sadly you cannot disable autocorrect temporarily, so it's all or nothing.

If you lose your phone and you get a replacement . does you imei number change? or do they keep it the same as your old one?

Hi
Every handset has a unique series of identifiers, one of which is the IMEI number, so if you exchanged the handset (for example if it was not working & you were still under warranty) your new handset would have a new IMEI number.
What Apple do though is if you formally exchange your handset (again, under warranty etc) then they record the change on their system, but also give you a sticker which is meant to attach to the original box. That way, if you come to sell the handset, you have a proper record of why the IMEI number on the handset is different from the IMEI number on the box.

If you lose your ipod touch and you have a warranty how much would you have to pay to get a new one?

Full price. Warranty covers only manufacturing defects, not you losing the iPod.
Perhaps homeowners insurance of your credit card plan, if you used a credit card to purchase the original iPod, might cover all or part of the cost.

If you forget your passcode and do a restore will this gain access again to the unit?

If you forget your passcode and a complete restore, will this gain access to the unit?

Yes. For the screen-lock passcode you can restore from backup. You may have to place the iPod in recovery mode to do the restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Ifyou lost the Restrictions passcode yiou have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

If you change your Apple id, do you lose your apps?

Would somebody please answer mé?

If you simply change the e-mail address associated with your itunes account, then you lose nothing.

How can I change the measurement of the kerning quick key? (When you press option + arrow keys)

Right now when I am using the quick keys to kern type, everything jumps too far. I want to lower the measurement or unit that it moves when I use this, as it is currently driving me nuts.

Not likely you can change it, unless something out of wack is causing it.
Anyway
Which operating system are you using?
In photoshop under Help>System Info find the version of photoshop at the top of the list?
Which version of photoshop were you using before?
Have you looked in the Character panel while kerning to see the increments of kern while pressing the shortcuts?

Time Capsule useless if you lose your Mac...?

Hi,
I've just had my logic board replaced by the good people at Apple. When I started up my MB Pro I went to back up to my Time Capsule as usual and it wouldn't see the backups. It wanted to start from scratch as it does the first time you use TC. This actually turned out to be not too much of a problem because my hard drive is completely in tact although it will be a problem if I've since wiped or lost some files. I called Apple and they said it wont recognise your machine because of the change of logic board.
This got me to thinking after I'd hung up with them... What if I'd lost my machine and bought a new one????? As that would have a different logic board, I'm wondering how on earth you get your old data into your new machine? Or, am I missing something..?
Thanks for your thoughts and experiences.
Best,
Marcus.

For that purpose you would want to use Migration Assistant, located under Applications/Utilities. And I just ran Migration Assistant and it had an option to transfer files and settings from Time Machine to the Mac, but like you say, since they replaced the logic board the Migration Assistant will probably not allow you to use that old Time Machine backup.

If you lose your phone, will your unread messages, missed calls and contacts transfer

I don't know why it's such a hard question to find the answer to, but I can't figure it out. If you've lost your phone, when you get your number put on a new phone, will the:
Contacts transfer?
Will you have your un-read messages?
Will you see your missed calls?
Will you have your voicemails?
Please, someone help me out here

Will you have your un-read messages? As long as they had not been delivered to your phone yet(for texts). If they had been delivered to your phone but you just hadn't read them, then no. For emails, as long as they have not been deleted from the server.
Will you see your missed calls? Don't really think so.
Will you have your voicemails? Depends on what kind of phone you had and will have. For example an iPhone utilizes a different voicemail system than any other phone(of course it does, its an Apple product) and voicemails will not transfer to/from an iPhone to any other type of device. Any other phone, they should.
Please, someone help me out here
Edit: Verizon only tries to deliver text messages for 5 days. If you have not had a phone active on your line for more than that length of time, you will start to lose some of your "un-read" messages.

WARNING: Full Backup option is NOT a full backup (you lose your older voicemails)

Just a warning out there for anyone upgrading phones or otherwise restoring from a back up. iTunes gives the option for either iCloud backup, which will "back up the most important data on your iPhone to iCloud", OR Computer Backup in which "a full backup of your iPhone will be stored on this computer".
A downside of the computer backup is that you have to plug in via wire. It is not a wireless option for backup. Frankly, that's not any bother. My phone sits each night at my desk anyhow to charge.
Another downside, however, that I discoverd today is that it is NOT A FULL BACKUP. It does not back up voicemail. Whether there is anything else it doesn't back up, I don't know. But it doesn't back up voicemails. How do I know? When I restored, I lost every voice mail older than 30 days (I'm an ATT&T user). That sweet message my 4-year-old left me. Gone. That client I needed to get back to even thought it's been a while. Gone.
I can't tell you how frustrating this is. Doesn't make it better when Apple tried to start blaming AT&T.
The Apple engineers have screwed this one up. Either allow the option for autobackups during a wired sync AND allow iCloud backup (rather than requiring you to select either or).. OR include visual voicemail backup as part of the full back up to the computer. In other words, make sure that "full back up" means "full". And if you can't do either of those, then don't use the word "full" when it's not a full back up. Include the caveat that you might lost voice mail if you don't do an iCloud back up.
Apple: fix this.
Consumers: Avoid this situation. Before switching phones, do the iCloud sync, then do a manual backup. That would have avoided this situation of losing voicemails. Now I know. Too late for me -- but hopefully not for you.

Apple blaming AT&T (as told to you by AT&T), and you believe AT&T that it's Apple's fault? Voice Mail is a service provided by your provider. Apple is not the provider - AT&T is. In the AT&T User Guide, they tell you how to permanently save your voicemails. They also say this:
4. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO RETRIEVE MESSAGES.
AT&T assumes no responsibility for
the deletion or failure to store or retrieve Voice Mail messages.
As described in Your Guide, your Service will retain only a
limited number of messages and will store messages only
for a limited number of days. AT&T retains the right, at AT&T’s
sole discretion and at any time, to change any
of the capacity limits on message exchange and st
orage. Accordingly, timely retrieval of
messages is your
responsibility.
FYI, here is a link to the AT&T Voice Mail User Guide:
https://www.vm.att.com/dchelp/EN/att_vm_user_guide.pdf
Apple is not to blame here - it is not Apple's job to keep your Voice Mails - it is AT&T's job. iTunes doesn't back up Voice Mail at all as indicated here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
It backs up the Voice Mail password, but not the actual Voice Mail. If you only have 30 days - talk to AT&T....
Sorry you lost your 3-year old's message. That is really sad..... Just wanted you to know where the problem actually lies.
Cheers,
GB

Where do you find your license key for software that I get from the cloud?

I am trying to upload some presets for lr 5 and I can't without the license key. Before when you bought tangible product this key would be on the back. However since I got it from the cloud, i don't know where to find it. Any help

You mean, LR is asking for it's own licence # when you try to upload some presets?
It sounds strange to me...
Open LR, then from the software preferences, go to the "Presets" tab and click on the "Show Lightroom Presets folder...".
Copy and paste your preset there and restart LR... it should be do it.
