Keyboard shortcut for star shape does not work - arrow keys

I need to use the star shape to make a sort of badge with many points.
In the past, I've used the star shape and held up arrow or down arrow to change the number of points on the star. This no longer works for me in Adobe Illustrator CS4 (on a Windows Vista). Did this shortcut change? All my other keyboard shortcuts work. I tried resetting the preference file for Illustrator just in case, but it didn't fix it.

I have found a work-around for this problem, although it's a bit annoying.
I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and encountered the same problem with establishing the number of points on a star. I tried everything and noticed it worked sometimes. Well, turns out that it will work only once after changing the settings for your pen. I just moved the tip feel setting leaving the pen tablet properties window open, went to illustrator and the arrow keys worked. If you try drawing the shape again, it won't work. You have to go back to the pen tablet properties window and move or change something, go back to illustrator and it works again. It's a little annoying, but if you're used to using the arrow keys to create shapes, it's handy to know it's there.

Flash CC keyboard shortcuts for test/debug movie not working

My keyboard shortcuts all work exept for the various test / debug options, like debug on device,test on desktop. None of these options work.
I tried different keys combinations, so it's not the problem.
I'm tired of going trough the menu + submenu each time because I frequently switch (desktop is faster for quick testing).
I mean, I do this a hundred times a day. Please check this! thanks.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to answer.
Flash CC, Win7 64bit, I use sublime text, nothing else is running...
Absolutly nothing is happening if I try.
Correction: ctrl+enter has been successfully assigned (I see the text in the menu) and is recongnize for "test movie ...air debug desktop"
Others don't appear in the sub-sub-menu for testing or debugging over usb.
I've assigned them to ctrl+alt+enter/return and ctrl-shift-enter/return. (I've tried other keys as well...)
So it appear the problem is with test/debug USB...
EDIT: Just to be clear, I try to set custom shortcuts, to avoid the default behaviour (one shortcut to launch the last choice). this weird behaviour is probably the cause of the problem in the first place.

My dvd slot for imac10,1 does not work. It rejects the disc. Problem after reinstall of backup from hdd.

My dvd slot for imac10,1 does not work. I had a new harddrive installed in November and the MacStore installed my backups from an external harddrive. I do not use it other than to upload programs, so I have not tried using it until tax season, but it rejects the disc. The ata file indicates no dvd firmware, but the serial-ata does indicate firmware for a dvdrw. What might I do about this to bring the dvd back, least expensive to most?

Yesterday I started having the same problem. Can read disc (play movies and music) but blank disk are ejected or idvd cannot see the blank disk. I have a almost 12 month old 27" i7 imac.

Can't get to settings to turn on wifi because "sign in to icloud" pops up and asks for pw which does not work because i can't get to wifi ?p

can't get to settings to turn on wifi because "sign in to icloud" pops up and asks for pw which does not work because i can't get to wifi ?

The problem is I cannot turn on wireless setting. The "sign in to icloud -- enter appleid password" popup will not go away. when i enter the pw and click ok, the same balloon pops up again. If I click "cancel" it pops again. Since I am not on the internet (because I cannot turn the ipad wireless on) the sign in to icloud obviously will not work. Vicious circle.

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.

What can I do for the following situation: I think my insert slot for the headphones does not work; when I put in any cable that should and can go in all I hear is low frequent static sounds.

You might try talking to the Apple store manager and see if you don't get more help...you might also contact Apple.com/support and see if they can give you a contact with the Apple Italy offices.
Sounds like you have two levels of failure, the first shop that did the repair and broke a wire, and the second that has disabled something else and isn't helping.
Apple officially refurbished equipment is usually good quality. Surprising this has happened but you need to press on with complaints and try for resolution.

Logfile monitoring for MSSQL ERRORLOG does not work with sapccmsr

Hi
We are running MSSQL2005 and wants to monitor the ERRORLOG for certain patterns, using the logfile monitoring feature of SAPCCMSR.
We are using logfile monitoring with sapccmsr for a lot of other logfiles without problems, but for ERRORLOG is does not work!
To be more precise: The agent does not report alerts for the text patterns specified. The agent runs fine and in RZ20 we can see that the logfile are checked every minute (but without finding the patterns).
The strange thing is that:
- It works for all other logfiles
- If we do a "type ERRORLOG >> <new file>" and runs the same monitoring on this "copy" of the ERRORLOG then it works
Any ideas?
Best regards
Tom Bo

Hi,
Please look at SAP note 1013331 https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1013331.
In special the changes after patch collection 2007/5.
Practical you have to use a unicode CCMS Agent to monitor the ERRORLOG file of SQL2005, and add the "ENCODING=UTF-16" parameter in the template file....
hope this helps..
Regards
Rolf

KeyListener does not capture Arrow key Events in textField

Love................
I added a key listener to TextField it does not detect
Arrow Keys events in keyTyped, KeyPressed,KeyReleased methods
why?????
I want to shift focus from a textfield to other component
on capturing Arrow key Pressed How

Here is a Java demo where it works since it is not a printable character you must get the keyCode:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/example-swing/index.html#KeyEventDemo
public class KeyEventDemo ... implements KeyListener ... {
...//where initialization occurs:
     typingArea = new JTextField(20);
     typingArea.addKeyListener(this);
/** Handle the key typed event from the text field. */
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
     displayInfo(e, "KEY TYPED: ");
/** Handle the key pressed event from the text field. */
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
     displayInfo(e, "KEY PRESSED: ");
/** Handle the key released event from the text field. */
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
     displayInfo(e, "KEY RELEASED: ");
protected void displayInfo(KeyEvent e, String s){
     char c = e.getKeyChar();
     int keyCode = e.getKeyCode();
     int modifiers = e.getModifiers();
     tmpString = KeyEvent.getKeyModifiersText(modifiers);
     ...//display information about the KeyEvent...

Keyboard shortcuts to Dashboard, Application Switch not working

I think other people are having a related version of this problem! After a certain period of time after starting or restarting the computer (perhaps whenafter the computer goes to sleep?) the keyboard shortcuts for Tiger, F9, F10, F11, and F12 don't work, and neither does Cmd + Tab to switch between applications. What is going on?

I've not a solution, but for what it's worth I have a TiPB, a MacBook Pro, and two Quicksilvers running Tiger and have not experienced your problem. Not to suggest the problem doesn't exist, but perhaps it's related to something specific with your computer. You might try booting into safe mode to see if the problem ceases. If it does, then it's related to something safe mode disables. Another thing you can try is to create a new test user, then log out of your normal account and log into the test account. If the problem disappears, then it may be related to a bad preference file or something running in you normal account that isn't in the test account. It could also be a problem related to a corrupted cache file. Use one of the several utilities around for cleaning cache files.
If none of the above are successful, consider doing an Archive and Install to reinstall a fresh copy of Tiger.

'select all' in pages 'shapes' does not work

When drawing 2-D floor plans using Pages / Shapes......the 'Select All' function does not work !
I am uisng Mountain Lion, v 10.8.3
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
Sheldon

Hi Sheldon,
Is your document based on a Page Layout Template?
In Pages, a floor plan is more suited to a Page Layout document (which mimics a drawing app) rather than a Word Processing document.
Here is a document that I created with Template Chooser > Page Layout > Blank.
I added some Shapes and Text Boxes.
'Select All' (command a) selected everything:
I hope this helps.

Quicktime plugin for screen capture does not work in flash player 11.2

Hello,
I have created a quicktime plugin (it is .component file) for screen sharing purpose.
I have used quicktime framework for that. plugin is detected in flash player.
This plugin is working perfectly for flash player 11 and below.But,
It does not working in latest flash player 11.2.
I have seen following error on console -
Google Chrome Helper EH[240:e92b] *** QTCaptureSession warning:
Session received the following error while decompressing video:
Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-8974
"The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -8974.)".
Make sure that the formats of all video outputs are properly configured
Note - Compression format used in plugin is kBMPCodecType.
Please, help me.

The issue ended up being the change in resolution to my external monitor. Flash was unable to detect the proper coordinates of the color I was trying to select because I was running my monitor in HD mode rather than selecting an actual resolution from my monitor preferences. Changing the settings to an acutal resolution, instead of generic "HD mode" fixed the issue.

F4 help on Parameter for ddic domain does not work

Hello,
I try:
Parameters: pa_waers TYPE WAERS.
WAERS is a ddic data element for currencies and also a domain with this name exists. The domain WAERS has a check table TCURC.
When I press F4 for my field PA_WAERS in the Selection Screen, I assume a value help from the check table TCURC.
I activated and re-generated my coding (as mentioned in the ABAP-Keyword help for "PARAMETERS") but it still does not work.
Does anybody has a clue why this does this not work.
The same thing is for a parameter:
Parameters ..... type CTU_MODE.
Domain CTU_MODE has value Fields (A, E, B) but also here on my program no F4 help occurs.
Thanks in advance
Stefan Berger

A value table is assigned to a domain. It becomes a check table when a foreign key relationship is established for a field in a table. The field uses the data element and the data element uses the domain.
For example, if you try:
PARAMETERS: PA_WAERS TYPE EKKO-WAERS.
You will get the F4 help you are looking for. If you use tran SE11 and view EKKO, find field WAERS, use tab Entry Help/check and you will see that table TCURC has been established as a check table. You can use the foreign key button to see the relationship that has been established between EKKO and TCURC.
Also, domains cannot be used to type a field. Your reference to CTU_MODE must be referring to a Data Element. I tried this in a 4.7 system and the F4 works for me. What version are you using?

Looking for a keyboard shortcut for Back. Neither Cntr + left Arrow or Cntr + backspace work.

The Firefox help on this subject titled "N900 Keyboard Shortcuts" indicate that the either Cntr + Left Arrow or Cntr + Backspace equates to hitting the "Back" button ... Neither work. Perhaps this advice is a remnant from an earlier version that no longer works ... This is an important shortcut for those of us with repetitive motion strain ... Or for using a touch pad ...
Thanks

You can use the Backspace key to go back (above the big Enter key).
or
Hold down the Alt key and then press left arrow while still holding down Alt.
