Is it possible to lock out the Key Board commands in Keynote?

Is it possible to lock out your key board actions in Keynote? This happened all of a sudden. My keyboard has no effect on my trying to change text colors or enter characters. By using the mouse to add text the text box appears but I cannot change the character color.I can change it with the mouse and the new color is displayed but when I type nothing appears as the default color is white and the background is white. I did a copy and paste from a previous slide and I can enter the line to start editing but nothing appears. Nor can I delete anything with the Key board. This is only happening in Keynote. If I use the Key Board to send an email everything works fine. Can type and use the delete button so it seems that the Key Board is fine with other Apps, this is just happening in Keynote. It seems like the Key Board actions are not taking place, it is as if the Key Board is locked out of the Keynote functions.
Thanks in advance for any help

Try resetting Keynote as follows:
remove Keynote version 6.5, you must use an application removal tool for this procedure to work: Appcleaner is free, I use Appzapper
empty the trash
Shut Down the Mac (Apple menu > Shut Down)
wait 10 seconds, then press the power button
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key, release the Shift key when you see the grey Apple screen
start up will take a few minutes longer than usual as the Mac is performing a repair routine
restart the Mac normally, (don’t hold down any keys during startup)
install Keynote from the Mac App Store

Is it possible to take out the keys in my keyboard so I can clean them?

I noticed that a lot of dust has gotten inside my computer recently and my keys are in need of a dusting.
Is it possible to take out the keys without breaking them..?

Compressed air is the best way to get the dust out. Don't worry about lodging dust inside somewhere, everything important is sealed up against compressed air.
Getting the keys back on is very, very, very fussy work. And that's presuming you don't break any.

I want to lock out the PC keyboard while allowing barcode reader input

I have an application that uses a barcode reader to enter part numbers. I have been asked by manglement if I can lock-out the keyboard to prevent the users from typing in the part numbers (too prone to error in typing). As the barcode reader is a separate USB port from the keyboard, is there a way to identify the keyboard port and disable it programmatically?

Since your barcode reader is USB, you may have the ability to set it up as a COM port. Several USB readers will either behave as a keyboard or a COM port. You would then have to modify your software to look at the COM Port. You can change the control to an indicator and the user will not be able to do anything.
The other option, which is what I typically do, is to add prefix and suffix characters to the barcode scanner. I pick a prefix that corresponds to a LabVIEW Key Navigation settign to set focus to the control. This way, whenever the barcode scanner scans, the control is automatically highlighted and the barcode fills end. I usually use a suffix of the ENTER key so the data is entered.
This way, you can hide your control off-screen so users cannot see it. Use an indicator on-screen. You can even set the off-screen control to be skipped while tabbing. The other nice thing with the prefix is I can simulate the barcode with the keyboard by using the special key navigation sequence. This is not 100% tamper-proof, but most operators aren't going to know what you are doing to skip the barcode reader unless you show them.

Can you lock out the Ipad while it is traveling down the road?

I would like to put an Ipad in my trucks, but I can't trust the drivers to not use it while they are driving. Is there a way to lock out the Ipad while the vehicle is moving?

Perhaps a Workstation Associated app that just pushed an invalid value for the
GINA.DLL
Either Remote Regedit or another Force-Run app could restore this to a correct
value.
Needs testing to make sure you can fix what you break, but this would lead
everything intact.

Is it possible to find out the names of the various objects (jpegs, pdf's, etc) in a keynote presentation?

I have to re do a keynote presentation for powerpoint -- the export feature won't work on the pc -- it simply says that it wasn't possible to display some of the text and objects because they had become corrupted, and were replaced with blank slides. I was wondering if it's possible to find out the names of the objects used in the presentation. That way I could save them to a folder and just paste them in to the PPT version on the PC. I know they have to be somewhere on the Mac that the presentation was made on, so is it also possible to find out where they would be?
I tried right clicking on the objects in the slide, but there was no 'get info' option, like there is in a finder window. Please help if you can.
Chris

There are a few options for you here. In the Inspector>Metrics Tab, when you click on the picture, it will display the name. Then you can use the find feature of the Finder to locate the picture. If you have Keynote set to save files as Packages, you can right click the file in the Finder (or control click) and then select Show Package Content. This will show you all the files that make up your Keynote and you can copy the pictures out of there into a new folder. Finally, if you can't find them any other way, you can select and copy the picture in Keynote, then open Preview and command-n (or File Menu>New from Clipboard) and then save the file to where ever you want so you can find it.

Was is the approx cost of repairing/replacing the key board, "Glass of Red Wine"

How much was spilled? Just a teaspoon or much more?
A teaspoon and you might be fine with a new keyboard, might.
If much more, then forget it, the logicboard is fried (or will corrode and then fry) and it's not worth spending a dime more on it, except to ship it off for parts.
User damage not covered under AppleCare or warranty.
You can take the hard drive out and use a SATA to USB adapter and Migration Assistant to a new Mac, or install MacDrive on a Windows PC and grab your files that way.
OtherWorld computing has parts, tools and videos how to disassemble.
Good Luck

How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

I think a rule of thumb is what you're looking for.
Full bandwidth CD audio (AIFF): about 10 MB/min
Apple Lossless: about 5 MB/min
MP3 @ 256k: about 2 MB/min
MP3 @ 128k: about 1 MB/min
Of course the MP3 file size is exactly linear with bit rate.
As for sound quality:
Apple Lossless is, as the name says, lossless.
MP3 @128k: fine for listening in the car or the kitchen etc. If you have an audiophile sound system, this will remind you why you spent all that money.
MP3 @256K: barely distinguishable from CD on very good equipment.
MP3 @320K: probably not distinguishable from CD.
I presume that since you're talking about importing classical CDs these are ones you own. Remember you can always do it again if you need higher fidelity or if better technology comes out. I import most CDs at 128k, since most of my MP3 listening is in the car, or walking, or as background. And I can always play the CD if I want to sit and listen.
The logic for purchased music is totally different -- you probably won't get to upgrade that without buying it some different way. So buying 128k MP3s (or AACs) is something you'll probably regret later. Buying 256k MP3s is a lot less problematic.

How to find out the failed sql command and its data from DEFERROR

Hi,
has anybody a procedure or some other possibilities to read the content of column USER_DATA of the advanced replication view DEFERROR in order to find out the failed sql command and its column values?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vishwa,
             The control would be something like this for navigation in Get_p_xxx method u mention as link and u mention a event name which gets triggered on the click of this hyperlink. So your GET_P_XXX method would have the following code:
CASE iv_property.
    WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_fieldtype.
      rv_value = cl_bsp_dlc_view_descriptor=>field_type_event_link.
    WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_onclick.
      rv_value = 'EXAMPLE'.
Now you have to create a method as EH_ONEXAMPLE at your IMPL class and within which you would give an outbound plug method. Within the outbound plug the target data would be filled in the collection and window outbound plug would be triggered.
This is a huge topic and i have just mentioned you basic things.
Regards,
Bharathy.

When I go into any app that requires me to use the key board I instantly go back to the home page and can't access anything (not even settings)

When ever I go into an application that requires me to use the key board the app just closes down and takes me back to the home page. I can't even get into settings. Also if I bring up the key pad it just sticks after I press a couple of keys? Help? I can't get into fb/pages anything!

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Where is the long line "--" on the key board?

where is the long line "--" on the key board? I can only find a short one and thus have to press is twice.

Here's a somewhat more helpful answer:
option-shift-hyphen
This will give you what's called an em-dash. If you also want an en-dash (commonly used to separate groups of numerals, as in phone numbers in printed materials):
option-hyphen
Here's more about typing special characters and symbols:

TS1702 When using safari as soon as I enter the cursor in the google search box the key board drops down and re-appears and is then usable?

When using google with Safari as soon as I enter the cursor in the text box the key board drops down, when re-entered it is fine and useable?

Post a screenshot please. Are those regular Short Answer Question slides or custom quesiton slides? To which master slide did you add the shortcut, because I don't even know which one is used for Short Answer, it is not mentioned in the master slide titles. There is a master slide for Hot Spot, one for Matching, one for Likert and one for MCQ/TF/FIB/Sequence. I suppose the last one is also used for Short Answer but never checked it. Reason is that for short answer I never use the default question slide, because it is so limited for validation: you cannot use 'contain' to check the answer.
I don't know of any way to have the focus immediately in the Answer Area, sorry

You can install this extension to make it easier to edit userChrome.css:
* ChromEdit Plus: http://webdesigns.ms11.net/chromeditp.html
The file needs to have this code:
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#personal-bookmarks #bookmarks-menu-button { display:none !important; }</nowiki></pre>
You can reach the profile folder this way:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
The file userChrome.css needs to be in the chrome folder in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so if the chrome folder is missing then you need to create a folder with the name chrome.
