Keyboard command to shut down no longer works after Leopard & 10.5.1

I recently upgraded to Leopard and 10.5.1 (all at once) and now the Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-Eject shortcut to shutdown doesn't work.
Any ideas or maybe a preference setting somewhere?

A bit of a puzzler there. The button to create a new thread is *not in Safari, it's on the forum page.* (Not the Categories page, a bunch of folders, a level too far back.)
Good Luck, JP

  • My keyboard commands in Adobe Illustrator aren't working after the new update

    Hello,
    I like many others have done the new software update for the Mac - OS X Yosemite. And theres been a few bugs I've experienced. Along with slow internet my Adobe Creative programs have been acting up.
    Mainly Adobe Illustrator CS5.5 - first was the font preview playing up but have fixed that with reduce transparency option. But now and the more annoying one is keyboard command keys are not working.
    Main ones I have notice so far are: Delete, Shift + Command anything, Tool Bar shortcuts i.e Selection Tool (V) etc.
    Its incredibly annoying and is actually interfering with my ability to work especially the simple one of deleting. I have seen a lot questions similar but to other programs and other suite versions. Please have anyone found an solution or please Adobe gives us the key to resolve this as it is a major inconvenience and is stopping productivity.
    Many Thanks

    Phoebe,
    Item 7) in 5) (follow the link) in the general list below shows the usual suspects. You may use that to find out which to avoid.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • VNC no longer working after Leopard install

    I have been running Vine Server on my machine for several months now without a hiccup, and I've really gotten used to being able to access my home machine from work. However, after upgrading to Leopard last weekend, my remote access no longer works. The Vine Server application appears to be running just fine, but when I try to access the VPN from work (using TightVNC - same as I've always done) it just hunts for a few minutes and then tells me it can't find the network.
    I haven't changed any settings on either the router or the Mac. Any idea what's going on here? How can I get my remote access back?

    Screen sharing is broken for me as well, trying to access a mac mini server (was snow leopard - is now Lion) from an iMac using the Lion server admin tools. It says "Connecting to "192.168.1.7"" but never connects.
    SSH connects though so perhaps you can wrestle control of the server using the terminal.
    I can't use the machine locally, the keyboard and mouse are unresponsive and there is no hdmi output to the Sony Bravia that its connected to.
    I'm pretty close to doing a full re-install but I need to track down some urls posted on one of the blogs that the server was running first.

  • Garageband no longer works, after Leopard install

    Anyone else have this problem? I installed Leopard. Of course, supposed to be THE up-to-date thing, now Garageband won't let me do a thing. It opens, but not before stating "possible conflict with 3rd party MIDI drivers" ...No idea. That error box will keep popping up, so that I cannot do a THING. I could care less for Midi, just want to record. Any help on what the deal is with Leopard and Garageband?

    I was annoyed by the same problems.
    But All you want is on the Mac OSX install disc 2.
    I think that you may choose the install option from DVD.
    Direct internet up-grade option didn't work.

  • IChat video no longer working after Leopard upgrade

    I always used to be able to video chat with everyone and then after my Leopard upgrade, no such luck... I looked through the user tips and here is what I have done.
    1) Have you done the Quicktime Streaming setting ?
    Yes, I have it set
    2) Are you running your Mac with the Firewall On ?
    Nope
    3) Did you upgrade from Panther ?
    Nope
    4) How are you connected to the internet ?
    Airport Extreme. Do I need to do set anything? We use it in 802.11n and nothing else.
    5) Do you have any iChat Add-Ons ?
    Nope
    7) Does it have anything to do with connecting to a PC ?
    See Here and here
    8) List your Connection speed
    6.7Mbps
    Any ideas??
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    2) Set the Firewall in Leopard to Allow Specific applications and service and add iChat to the list.
    With an Airport Extreme I expect you have been getting Error 7
    If the Modem is a Cable modem then nothing should be done to the Airport
    If the modem id SDSL and routes then the Airport should not Share An IP and also the ports in the modem need to be opened with UPnP or pointing at the IP the computer has after you stop it Sharing an IP.

  • How can I log in to my computer?  I changed language on keyboard and I shut down my computer.Now keyboard has no numbers,  which I need for my pc password

    Yesterday I was working on my computer and I changed English to Lithuanian language on the keyboard. I shut down my computer. Now when I want open it, I can't type correct password to access my account . There is left Lithuanian language on keybord, with has no numbers. And I need numbers to use for my password.

    It does have numbers of course, they are made by first hitting the ` key (top most left most on a US keyboard) and then the usual number key.  Have you tried that?   Such combos often don't work in password fields, but you never know.

  • Keyboard, IR, Trackpad no longer work after 2.1 upgrade

    Installed the BootCamp 2.1 upgrade and after the reboot, the keyboard, trackpad and IR receiver no longer work.
    Windows recognizes the hardware (Found New Hardware) but during driver install, the dialog box pops up to say that Windows couldn't install the driver (Fatal error during installation).

    I also just made the mistake of installing 2.1 and am having the same problems. The built-in keyboard and trackpad don't work, and my external keyboard doesn't work either. An external mouse works, but that's all.
    ***? Is it possible to downgrade to an earlier version?

  • I keep the itunes encountered a problem and needs to shut down . it was working fine until after i updated to 10.5 can someone plz help

    i keep the itunes encountered a problem and needs to shut down . it was working fine until after i updated to 10.5 can someone plz help

    I did get a "server busy" message when I loaded quicktime, but I'm not sure if it is related or not since I've been seeing that over the last couple of days, I can't remember if it came before iTunes stopped working or not. That message reads "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." My options then are to choose switch to or retry. When I press "switch to" my Start menu opens, and nothing appears to happen when I select retry.
    that's an odd sort of a message (or series of messages).
    hmmmmm. let's try an experiment aimed at working out if there's a program interfering with the QuickTime (which is in turn causing grief with your iTunes).
    try a selective startup using MSCONFIG, with just the itunes and QuickTime background processes enabled, as per the following document:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    does QT open without the strange message after the selective startup?
    does iTunes launch properly?

  • Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software update, startup disk, iCloud, etc. no longer will launch. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use. No go!

    Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software Update, Startup Disk, iCloud, Time Machine, Notifications, etc. no longer will launch even though they do show their icons in the system preferences window. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use with a "Cancel" or "OK" choice. After I click on "OK" the window just keeps reappearing with the same choices and the pane I wish to use still remains inoperative. Third party preference panes DO work.
    Reinstalling OSX Mountain Lion did not help. Neither did throwing away preferences.plist.

    Hi Jeff,
    Tried to reply with my iPhone but not easy! Anyway, back on the laptop now. Yes the crash was bad but Tek support at Prism Sound was really good. In the end I rebuilt the whole system on a new disk which took a couple of days with all the plugins, softsynths etc.... but there seemed to be no alternative in my case, and this was agreed with Prism sound as being the only alternative left to me. I still don't really know what caused the crash but ML and Orpheus are both working fine now. Let's face it, you'll have to update at sometime..maybe best to pick some time between projects On balance, I suspect that my problems were unique to my system and that your installation will go ok.
    Hope it goes well,
    Rick

    The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you.  It is owned by your friend.
    I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do.  Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
    In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way.

  • I recently bought the 27" IMac. I have to force shut it down, the menu shut down doesn't work, and most of the time it will start back up on it's own several hours or even days later. Any ideas?

    Note: No iMac PPC is 27".   PPC is for the iMacs that were new until the beginning of 2006.   They are all Intel now.

  • PgUp/PgDn no longer work after upgrading to Firefox 4

    I just upgraded from Firefox 3.6 to 4.0., and now the PgUp/PgDn keys (page up/page down) no longer work. Or rather, they act as though caret browsing (F7) is turned on, which it is not. (In caret browsing, PgUp is like the back button and PgDn is like the forward button.) To confirm that caret browsing is off, I've hit F7 and clicked No (multiple times), and also checked about:config, which shows that accessibility.browsewithcaret is false.
    More info: (1) Options > Advanced > General > Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages is unchecked, (2) the PgUp/PgDn keys also don't work when Firefox is restarted in Safe Mode, (3) they don't work on any webpage, (4) they do work correctly in other applications (Microsoft Word, etc.), (5) my operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit), and (6) I run Microsoft Security Essentials (antivirus software).
    Any ideas?
    Could this be a bug? If so, what is the procedure for uninstalling Firefox 4 and returning to Firefox 3.6 -- without losing my bookmarks, add-ons, etc.?
    Thanks!

    dmtf2010 nailed the problem here (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640587#c48):
    So, the solution is:
    1. Go to about:config
    2. Find ui.elantech_gesture_hacks.enabled
    3. Change its value from -1 to 0
    4. Restart FF
    5. If you run into a bug that option was designed to fix (non-working page swipe gestures), install the latest Elantech driver (http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/14513/) and reboot.
    I've tried his solution and, so far, so good. :)

  • Back to my mac no longer works after upgrading to Lion

    Back to my Mac no longer works after upgrading to Lion
    After I upgraded my home machines to Lion, I can no longer access them from my work computer, which is running Snow Leopard. When they were both Snow leopard, it worked fine. How can I get them working again? I don't have control over the OS on my work computer. Is it necessary for me to downgrade all of my home computers to Snow leopard in order to get them talking again?
    Additionally the binoculars icon appears in the menu bar all of the time. In previous versions, this would only happen when somebody connected to my machine. Could these problems be related?

    OK, so further investigation has addressed the BTMM issue on a remote machine.
    With all machines running lion, I was having issues trying to log in to a standard user headless machine already running.  In Snow Leopard, I had no issues with this since you can log in via screen sharing using an admin login that's running a standard login.  Lion allows multiple accounts to be signed in which is handy since you can now run virtual sessions.  This means you can admin the remote computer without bothering the remote user.
    The problem was that now logging in using admin login brings up the admin account (which makes sense) instead of the desktop to the standard login.  I applied a similar solution to a problem that was related to screen sharing I found on this board.  What I believe to be the fix is to add the standard user to the screen sharing user list.  Then screen share to the remote account using the standard user credentials. 
    So on the remote computer, in System Settings->Sharing->Screen Sharing, add the standard user to be allowed access.  Previously I only had admins.  This may not be an ideal solution for what I'm trying to do since the remote computers primary login is the standard user to be used as a common computer, but it now works so I am happy with it.
    Now my only "problem" is my AEBS complaining about my MobileMe credentials, but it doesn't appear to have an impact on BTMM performance so I'll quietly wait for a fix down the road.
