Keyboard Command in Safari not working

I followed the instructions to set up a keystroke addition to a Safari menu - this was to use Control-C for the Copy Image command in the contextual menu. The problem is, it doesn't work!
If I Ctrl-click to see the contextual menu, sure enough there is ^C next to the command, but when I key Ctrl-click then Ctrl-C, and go to Photoshop, nothing is pasted, the command has not worked. Yet if I manually select Copy Image the usual way (with mouse or arrow keys), it works fine.
What have I done wrong?

Hello Christopher,
The problem is not what you've done wrong. As far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong at all.
However, the problem is that when you put a shortcut on a contextual menu, the shortcut itself destroys the context! That's why none of the contextual menu commands you find ever has a shortcut attached. Unless you tell Safari (via a ctrl-click or right-click) what the image is to select, "Copy Image" has no way of choosing which "Image" to "Copy".
No doubt with a lot of programming, the facility could be provided by interrogating the current mouse position. But it would certainly slow down normal processing.
In any case, if you arrange your windows carefully, you can actually drag and drop images from a web page to a blank image document—much faster than copy and paste.

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

Command-Z keyboard menu shortcut is not working

Hi

ok will try that and will let you know.. But the undo keyboard shortcut works well in other user profile.

Shift-Command-R does not work anymore

Hello all,
I've noticed that the shortcut shift-command-r does not work anymore on my macbook pro. I used it for the calendar to refresh all calendars, and its also handy to open the reader in safari 5.
When I open the keyboard viewer from the language and text menu I can see it when I press shift, then command but when I press "R" nothing changes, only shift+command stay highlighted. Other letters do work, so its a bit strange.
Anyone know a solution for this?
Thank you in advance

Nope thats not the problem, the listening key is Esc. It is as if the keyboard does not register it when the R is pressed in combination with the shift and the command together. As I said, the keyboard viewer shows every keystroke except the shift-command-r combi.

Command-V will not work!

I use command-c & command-v more than any other keys on my keyboard and all of a sudden, command-v will not work. I think one of my children pushed something that disabled it, but I cannot get it to paste anything even though my other command options work. When I press command-c the "Edit" tab highlights and when I press command-v the "Edit" tab also highlights but it does nothing. It does this in every program so it's not program specific. Wow...amazing how missing one function can disable a person so quickly!

A couple of people who have had this problem found an SMC reset resolved it, which is odd as you wouldn't think there would be any connection. However it is easy enough to do.

1.
Shut down the computer.
2.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
3.
Wait fifteen seconds.
4.
Attach the computer's power cord.
5.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
If that does not work, then explore your idea that your kids may have re-assigned that function to something else. Ask them if they were doing anything like that.

Command "S" Does Not Work To Save Work In Any Application

Hi. For some reason that I haven't figured out yet, holding down the command key with "S" as the keyboard command shortcut does not activate the SAVE menu in Photoshop CS2 or MS Word. It used to work and of course the "S" key and command keys work fine in other keyboard commands except this one. I am using an iBook G4.
Does something have to be activated in preferences somewhere to fix this?
Anyone else have this glitch?
Thanks steve

Hi Niel. Sure enough, I went into Speech sys preferences and Com + S was the keyboard shortcut. I changed it to an unrelated one. However when I went into PS CS2, I selected Com S and I got the Save As dialog box popup. I went into the Keyboard Shortcuts menu under Edit and Com + S was listed for Save and Save As was Com Shift S. I went ahead and deleted the Save As keyboard shortcut, but I'm still having trouble getting Com S to just Save. Of course I can do it with the mouse, but I would still like to use the correct key command. Any more ideas what might be going on?
Thanks again steve

Cmd f in safari not working

command-f is not working to search the page in safari since i upgraded to mavericks yesterday, it's working fine in chrome/finder/etc.
when i push command-f i see 'edit' turn blue but nothing happens, no search bar appears. pressing 'edit>search>search...' also does not seem to work
very annoying,,,

Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
Then launch Safari and try Command + F
Safe Mode deletes some system caches that may help.

Keyboard and trackpad are not working, Keyboard and trackpad are not working

I'm using MBP 15" late 2008 with Maverick OS. A couple of days ago, the internal keyboard and trackpad are not working at all. I did all the troubleshooting. I even reformat it; installing the snow leopard and re-installing the maverick but no good result. I believe there's no problem with my keyboard because i can still do PRAM on my lappy. Everytime i'm booting up my MBP, it always looking for bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. I have not used those bluetooth peripherals from day 1 i've started using MBP. I just read on the internet about the same problem has happened on MBP 13" retina and APPLE fixed it by updating the software. I wish Apple will also do something for the old MBP to fix the intermal keyboard and trackpad problem.

My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

"This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
Keep us posted.

Go to current song (command L) is not working in itunes 11

Go to current song (command L) is not working in itunes 11, anyone having the same issue?

Thanks for figuring that out.
I thought that command-L was working when I first switched to iTunes 11, but then it wasn't working anymore. That's the ticket: I changed the display to show the sidebar.
Still, I'd like to be able to use the command-L feature whether I'm showing the sidebar or not.
I'd also like it if iTunes would keep showing the currently playing song when in Grid or Artist view modes. It doesn't, so I have to keep using command-L to see the current song info.

Safari not working on ipad mini

Hello, I can"t seem to get Safari working on my ipad mini. The screen is unresponsive and the text input boxes cannot have any text inputted. I have gone thru the various remedys I have found in this and other forums and nothing has worked. I brought it into an Apple store for a Genius to try and remedy and the inital troubleshooting didn't work. They tried a reboot, reset, and finally a new restore and the results were all the same.....nothing. They then took a brand new iPad mini out of a sealed box and setup that one. Believe it or not, after setting it up the same problem occured on this new iPad mini! So I asked to have my original iPad back as it had a personalization etched on the back but was told it was already swapped out and they couldn't return it to me. So now I have a brand new iPad mini that exhibits the same problem of Safari not working and also the advice from the Genius that in a couple of days Apple will have an update. I haven't seen any updates as yet so I am asking anyone on this forum if they have a solution to get Safari working. By the way everything else on the unit functions, I can surf using Chrome, read emails, etc.
Thank you

Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db (or ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple. Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. Try the back button.

Safari Not working on certain web sites......

There are many sites where Safari does not work correctly.
A example is eBay.com and GoogleBase.com
Where you are trying to enter text in the "sell a item" window.
I have been told by these sites that I need to update to a newer version or Safari.
I am running Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3) on a iMac G5 2.1Mhz OSX 10.4.8
When I Use Foxfire on these web sites I have NO problem entering text.
Why will Safari not work?
Is Safari to old?
Are the web sites to new?
Thanks

Complying with security standards and complying with web design standards are two entirely different things.
Many web sites don't comply with web design standards - it's an unfortunate fact of life. In a very many cases, it's because the sites are designed to work with Windows Internet Explorer* with no attempt to make sure the web sites work with any other browsers or on any other platforms. Usually that doesn't result in the inability of a web browser to access the site properly, but in some cases it does.
*(In case anyone thinks Windows Internet Explorer should be the standard, this simply isn't realistic, despite possibly sounding sensible on the face of it. Web design standards are based on usability guidelines and and well-researched methods to make web page code more practical, streamlined, and able to be used on a variety of devices and by people with a variety of needs. They're not just a set of rules that can be changed on a whim to conform to a certain web browser's quirky way of rendering sites. Internet Explorer is notorious for not being compliant with agreed upon web standards. Internet Explorer is even inconsistent in how it renders web pages from one IE version to the next, complicating matters even further.)

I am running 10.8 and I am trying to get a E-mu 1x1 midi/usb connector to work with my keyboards. It's not working with any keyboard at all. I believe it is a Mainstage/Mac issue. Mainstage can recognize the the interface but it won't work.

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.
