KDE does not recognize brightness keys.

Hey guys. Went back to KDE, but I'm having one issue that irritates me. My brightness control works perfectly fine using my brightness keys, and KDE's power manager, but I have a issue that irritates the hell out of me. KDE does not recognize the brightness keybinds what so ever. Example: I press FN F6(Brightness up), and the brightness is increased by the kernel in the tiny default increment. But KDE does nothing, nor does KDE realize the brightness has changed. But then I can also use KDE's slider to change brightness fine. I played abit with KDE's keybinds, and it recognizes the keybind as "Brightness Up" when I bind it, but the bind itself does not work. To test, I set brightness up to open a terminal, failed to do so. So KDE isnt intercepting the binds. These are the ONLY two binds I notice that it doesent intercept. This is a KDE only issue, Gnome's backends handle it fine. Any help in getting KDE to handle the bind would be fantastic. Thanks.

I have a Asus X202E. Asus netbooks seem to have historically had issues with the backlight under linux. A few kernel versions ago, backlight control did not work whatsoever, so I remember playing around with the ACPI OSI options alot, though it was all patched in kernel 3.9. Its odd that this affects only KDE though. Using a null OSI doesent affect KDE at all, the change it does make though, is to KDE, brightness 0 is now Minimum brightness, while previously brightness 0 was screen off. I'll try some of the other options such as osi=legacy, etc.

Quit the editor, then relaunch it while holding down command+shift+option. Keep holding down the keys till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
It wouldn't hurt to repair permissions, either.

System Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts does not recognize some keys

Upgrading to Snow Leopard meant leaving Unsanity's elegant Menu Master behind. I've been trying to make do with System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Applications Shortcuts. I've had some success. I'm now looking for help dealing with unfortunate shortcomings.
At the top of my list:
Keyboard Shortcuts doesn't let me use some keys I was accustomed to using in Menu Master:
• Delete, Help, forward Delete, Home, End, Page Up and Page Down just beep.
• Enter is accepted, but it's treated the same as Return -- these are two different keys!
Is there some way to trick/force Keyboard Shortcuts to accept these keys?
For example, I seem to recall Menu Master required a mouse-down to enter some special keys.

not for me. it's both displayed and treated differently. I suspect what you are seeing is a byproduct of using a haxie such as Menu Master.
no it's not. it's treated differently.
In Leopard, Menu Master let me assign Command+Enter to Address Book > Edit Card. When I attempt the same using Keyboard Shortcuts, both Command+Return and Command+Enter are displayed as Command plus a "return arrow." After that, in Address Book, both Command+Return and Command+Enter invoke the "Edit Card" menu action.
not for me.
if you want to use those keys in the shortcuts use one of the many 3rd party app launchers. any one of them will let you do this: Qucisilver, Butler, Spark, Launchbar, ikeys, quickeys etc.
I've been using QuicKeys since the beginning of time, and I have some experience with Butler and LaunchBar. They're useful for what they do. But, as far as I know, none add keyboard shortcuts that are displayed directly in the menus. That display feature is what makes Menu Master and Systems Prefs > Keyboard Shortcuts so attractive.
that's because Menu Master is a haxie. none of the other programs mentioned are. you want such functionality you are going have to use a haxie. personally - i stay away from them as they destabilize the system.
When I'm considering new shortcuts, I use KeyCue to display all current shortcuts in a single display. KeyCue now displays QuicKeys shortcuts in the same display, which is a big help.

My Mac Book Pro does not recognize the presence of a DVD or CD

Ever since I upgraded my MacBook Pro, it does not recognize a DVD or CD of any type when I put it in. I have a store bought DVD, the Social Network, which worked fine before upgrading to OSX operating system. Music CD's were okay then, too. Now, neither is even recognized by the player. Thought maybe it needed to be reloaded, but na't figure out how to do that. This is very frustrating, and makes me start to second guess my decision to switch to an Apple product. I've only hd this computer about 18 months, did the upgrade last September (?) and have had difficulties ever since. HELP me please!!!

Use Apple Hardware Test
Open the Help Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) and choose Print to print these instructions.
Disconnect all external devices except the keyboard, mouse, display, and speakers. If you have an Ethernet cable or external DVD drive, disconnect them.
Restart your computer, holding down the D key while the computer restarts.After your computer restarts, you should see the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen. If you don’t, Apple Hardware Test may not be available on your computer. You may be able to start Apple Hardware Test from the Internet. Reconnect your computer to the network, and then restart your computer while holding down both the Option and D keys.

HT3819 My iPad will not allow me to type in my password. Curser is blinking but what i begin typing it just does not recognize that i am printing

Is there any process I can use to allow me to type into my iPad my password. When I open up the device it sets itself up for me to type in my password. The cursor is blinking, the key pad comes up but it does not recognize that I am typing in the password. The cursor remains in the same position. However it will still play a sideshow of my photos, play music but I cant get into the iPad to operate it to get emails, or operate Safari etc. Is there any thing I can do other than take it to a technician? .

My macbook is connecting to a wifi network, but my ipad in the same room does not recognize it.

my macbook is connecting to a wifi network, but my ipad in the same room does not recognize it. I have reset the ipad settings, etc. Any ideas?

Try a restart of your entire system. Shut down both your modem and your router if they are two separate devices. Then restart each item one at a time with about three minutes between each device.
Also reset the iPad by pressing and holding the Start and Home keys together, ignoring there'd slider until the Apple logo appears.

VBA Outlook Email Failing: "Outlook does not recognize one or more names"

I use VBA code to send emails from within Microsoft Project 2010 Standard to notify task owners of task status. This code has been working fine until the last couple of weeks. Now I get the error "Outlook does not recognize one or more names".
The VBA code sends email to each addressees internet address. I am referencing the Microsoft Outlook 14.0 Object Library.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Outlook Drag 'n Drop functionality does not recognize BP Code

Hi,
I am using Outlook Drag 'n Drop functionality (with cockpit) in order to synchronize incoming e-mails. However, it does not recognize the BP and it lets the field blank. I have set the e-mail into the corresponding field on Business Partner as well as Contact Person. Isn't this the unique key for choosing automatically the BP?
Thanks

Help...people picker control does not recognize outlook formated bulk users

Hello,
Currently out of the box people picker control provides a textbox, User validity icon and a find user book. If there are bulk of users from outlook and paste it, the SharePoint control does not recognize user and cant find bulk
users in the find book directory all at once(need to find user details one at a time) , so I was told to hide the user directory icon and link. Will you please suggest me to on how to hide directory icon? is there a way using JavaScript or Jquery to hide?
Otherwise if there is a way to directly transfer bulk of users from outlook into SharePoint people control works great.
multiple users allowed in sharepoint people picker control however it does not support outlook format in SharePoint people picker.. such as
'abc, xyz <a href="mailto:[email protected]>' ; efg, pqr <">[email protected]>' ; efg, pqr <[email protected]>
Can anyone suggest me to hide the finder link & image? also to add bulk of users directly from outlook?
Thanks

Nobody has anwered. I have solution and done myself to hide and manage controls on SharePoint list. Key thing here is to map the jquery library correctly and specific version.
Hope this helps at least others and can overcome difficulties I have undergone
Here is the Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript" src=".../jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){$('a').each(function(){if($(this).attr('title') == "Check Names")$(this).hide();});});
</script>

Server does not recognize my username password

Hello I just tried to change my account on IPHOTO's to email some photo's. I am still getting the message that the server does not recognize my username/password.
I am getting really frustrated. They mention what is my username , using my email address plus smtp server is added to the end of my email address in one place , so I am not sure what this is and why I am having such difficulty.
Thank you for some help here
Maureen

Hi Bob,
The following is exactly what I do, I go to IPHOTO and click on the photo I want to send, then I go to the Share menu and insert the email address where I want it sent. In that message it shows my other account which is my email address that I use all the time for all my correspondance. So I have that as the address I am sending from
Then I hit send and a text box comes up saying there is some text related to the photo looks like you could put a description here so I just hit Send anyway. Then I hit the send key and that is when the message box pops up with my complete email address with ;smtp.me.com" at the end . None of those letters or characters are in my email address. Any help you can offer I am greatly appreciative!
Cheers

Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the ST card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the SD card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

Check your Import settings in the Import Panel, i.e. all that might exclude the image type you want to import:
If you did not exclude any file types, and still Aperture will not import, remove your ImageCapture preferences fro your user library:
To remove the image capture preferences:
If Aperture is running, quit Aperture, and log off and on again.
Open your user library from the Finder's Go menu: Hit Command Shift G (⌘⇧G) and then type in: ~/Library/Preferences/ then hit return.
In the window that opens remove "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist"
and look into the subfolder "ByHost": if there are files named com.apple.ImageCapture something .plist remove them too.
then try again.
And if that still does not help, remove the Aperture preferences as well:
~/Library/Preferences/aperture.plist
Regards
Léonie
P.S. in MacOS Lion and later the user library ~/Library is hidden by default.
You can reveal it also from the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > Go, then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences".

IPhoto does not recognize Tiff format

I am trying to import my photos in TIFF ext however I get a response from iPhoto that it does not recognize the format.
What I am doing wrong?
thank You!

Did this test in the begging, and it doies not give me the option to create a new library.... : /
Then you're not holding the correct key or not holding it long enough while launching.
But I could import all to Aperture and then from iPhoto import the pictures......however when in the iPhoto library they have been "converted" to JPEG file and lost all quality...the same picture in Aperture (TIFF) has 36MB while in the iPhoto after I imported 684KB!!
You need to understand how to use Aperture. You're getting the Aperture Previews, not the original files.
