Key stroke or other means to open CD Tray

I have a G4 with a G3 keyboard. I can't open the CD Tray with this keyboard. Are there any key strokes or other means to open the CD tray?

See my answer on your other post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9590659#9590659

  • Can I open with a single key stroke my events?

    Can I close and open with a single key stroke my events (Film rolls). They are all open when viewing the Library Photos. I would like to be able to close them all and just see the title of each event sometimes rather than scroll all the pictures. Iphoto 08

    Bring up iPhoto's help file and search for "keyboard shortcuts".
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • My wireless mouse does not work-how do I link it by wired keyboard?  Is there a key stroke to open system preferences?

    My wireless mouse, keyboard and keypad for my iMac have all become unlinked for some reason.  Just turned it on, no linkage.  I do have a wired keyboard that I connected in order to sign on.  Now I cannot choose system preferences and link my wireless devices without my mouse.  What key strokes are used to choose the Apple, the system preferences in the dock, or some way to start the linking process?

    First, make sure your batteries are fully charged; you can also use alkaline batteries if you want. When you insert the batteries, press the depressed button on the right side of your keyboard/wireless mouse; both should automatically "link" onto your computer via bluetooth connection.
    Also, make sure the bluetooth devices are linked by going to System Preferences/Bluetooth, and make sure the "On" and "Discoverable" boxes are checked.
    And please, post here if you've achieved success.

  • My G5 won't boot up. The Gray screen comes on and it thinks about it until the fan revs up like it is about to explode. A friend said to start it up with the OS disk and then go to utilities. Didin't work. Any suggestions? Isn't there a key stroke to help

    Oh, so this is where I ask my question. Sorry, first time here. As I was saying in my long intro, the gray screen come up and the thing is spinning at the bottom, but nothing happens. Then the fan starts reving up like it is about to explode and I have to manually shut it off. A friend told me to start it up with the OS disk and then go to utilities. I couldn't find the thing, so I went out and bought another. Needless to say, it didn't work. Is there a key stroke to help jump start the machine? How can I get into this thing? I would prefer not to take it in because there are a lot of things on there I don't want just anyone to have access to.Thanks, in advance, for your help!

    The last time you had to hold down cmd opt pr more than twice was a decade ago....

    Apple has a number of resources like "Power or Startup Quick Assist"

    Your drive does need to be repaired, and best things to buy are another backup recovery drive, with a small OS X partition; a copy of Disk Warrior is expensive @ $90 but excellent and best.
    Never bother with or use the drive or reinstall while there are errors. Don't take a "clean' bill from Apple Disk Utility to mean there are no errors. Only that it didn't find what it looked for.

    Make sure to have multiple backup sets and of your system so if there is a serious problem, you can just erase and restore to be back runninig.
    Sounds like your G5 though needs PMU reset, not PRAM, and the best way for those is to clear nvram instead. might even want to check for dust; tell what System Profile says (later) as to "PowerMacX,Y" or "MacProX,1"
    http://www.apple.com/support/powermac or /macpro
    http://www.apple.com/support/sitemap/
    The Utility menu is on the menu bar of an "OS X Install DVD" and at the point where you get to but stop at "install....' for OS X. you probably do need to install OS X on another drive to work from.
    Oh, a real severe issue and damage to the drive directory or filesystem CAN in cases prevent booting from DVD (the system still tries to find and see what boot volumes are present) and can help to pull or disconnect the drive. Putting a drive in a FW case to turn on after startup is very useful.

  • How to capture key strokes

    Experts,
    For copy and paste functionality in oracle forms tree object for node using CTRL C and CTRL V.
    On KEY-OTHERS trigger I want to differentiate that the user either press CTRL C or CTRL V.
    Any solution to differentiate key strokes.
    Thanks,

    I'm afraid that you have two options:
    1) to search for a ready to use PJC in net (for example in http://fdegrelle.over-blog.com/)
    2)to develop a PJC in which the java code can make this differentiation.... i mean Java has an event called 'KeyEvent'.....which catches the keys pressed ...

  • Simple key stroke to insert a prime symbol instead of an apostrophe?

    Is there a simple key stroke that you can to insert a prime character instead of an apostrophe when your prefrerence is set for "smart quotes" so that you don't have to re-set your preferences???

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    "Simple"? Not exactly...
    This older discussion details the steps to use Unicode entry.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1899290?start=0&tstart=0
    Open , System Preferences, Hardware, Keyboard allows you to check the box, 'Show Keyboard and Character Viewer in menu bar'. This step gives you quick access to your chosen Keyboard defaults in the menubar.
    Open , System Preferences, Personal, Language & Text, to checkmark the Unicode Hex Input box. This permits you to use Unicode for quick(er) special character entry, provided you know the hex equivalent of the desired character(s), listed in the character tables.
    With the Unicode Hex Input enabled, hold down the alt/option key and type 2032 (the Unicode decimal number) for the prime symbol ′.
    Within the Characters table, save your favorites by clicking the 'gear' button at the bottom left of the Character table, then you can quickly find them and press the 'insert' button in the lower right.
    Note that the prime character appearance changes with the font in use, and probably is not available in every font.

  • Monitor Key Stroke

    I am fresh to java programming. I want to keep a track of my kid when he logs into yahoo. i guess he is chatting and exchanging e-mails on yahoo with somebody and everything sounds like dirty talk. he is only 8 yrs old and i want to know what ever he keys in when he logs into yahoo.
    Please help me do this, and is it possible to run such a program always so i can get the key stroke log only when my kid logs into the system. or is it possible when anybody opens http://www.mail.yahoo.com url.
    Thanks
    Hazel

    You can't do that with Java. However keystroke loggers and more general parental control software are easily available, already written. I would suggest you get one of those programs.

  • Detecting key stroke

    Hi,
    I need to detect a key stroke, so I extended
    KeyAdapter and ovewrote methods. However, my program
    doen't have any windows or whatever has addlistener
    method.
    How can I do this?
    thanks in advance

    Not sure what you mean.
    When you press a key there has to be a way to detect it no matter whether you have windows or not. I can't use io because then the program just stops and waits for input.
    I have several threads running, and one of them should do something when a key is pressed.

  • Mozilla browser lock with one key stroke

    When I open mozilla and start to open another page by typing in the address line after one key stroke it locks up. If I restart it the same thing happens...
    If I open explorer it does not happen..
    I downloaded mozilla again and installed but the same thing happens..
    Thanks

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Drag the Safari icon straight up and off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ...
    Now click and hold the Safari app in the Applications folder and drag that to the Dock.
    See if you can open a webpage in Safari.
