Keyboard shortcuts keep vanishing after reboot/restart

Hello,
In System Preferences -> Keyboard&Mouse, my keyboard shortcuts frequently vanish after a reboot/restart. This happens over 60 percent of the time and I have to enter them all over again. Very irritating.. Is this a known bug? And is there any way to really 'save' keyboard shortcuts?
Thanks,
kds-kds

I have the same problem but it only appears to be with one device (iPhone 5). My iPad and Mac seem to be fine. I even tried a hard reset of the iPhone but that did not help.

Flash: Keyboard Shortcuts Keep Disabling

So I just got Adobe Flash Pro cs6 (64-bit) and one of the problems I've noticed when animating with the program is after a couple of minutes the keyboard shortcuts keep turning off when I'm drawing. I can turn them back on if I drag my animation tab out of full view and then place it back to full view but then after another couple of minutes, they disable again. This happens whether or not the animation is full view or dragged out, the keys keep turning off and I can't task to a new tool because of it.

Good question. If/when it does it again, I'll check. However, until you asked that, I never noticed the keyboard layout options and that one of them is CS5.5. That's an easier fix for me than re-customizing everything, as I was just wanting the CS5 layout.
Something else I noticed is that my workspace is set for "Import from Project" and I'm supposing it's possible that the keyboard layout is connected to the workspace and might be either resetting it to CS6 or custom, which may or may not have had those customizations. About 25% of the projects I'm working on currently are pre-CS6, so every time I load one of those up, it might be making everything else go wonky.
In any event, I have a better idea what to look out for now. Thanks

Keyboard shortcuts sheet for After Effects CC

Hi,
Has anyone got a keyboard shortcuts sheet (single page) for After Effects CC?
Also, any custom keyboards for CC available?
I have seen keyboard shortcuts sheet for older versions of AE and keyboards for older version.

There are nearly 900 keyboard shortcuts for After Effects. They can't all possibly fit on a single page.
The PDF version of the Help document that Hans points to has all of the shortcuts in a single reference section. You can get to the HTML version of the same content using the Help > Keyboard Shortcuts command in After Effects.

Office Start Menu Shortcuts Keep Vanishing!

I have Windows 8.1 Enterprise and Office 2013 Professional with all current updates installed. I prefer to run with Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook on the 'Start Menu' and until recently, this has been working fine. For the last couple
of weeks however the shortcuts for Word, Excel and Powerpoint keep vanishing! Strangely, the Outlook shortcut always remains! I can go to the all programs display, select them and use 'Pin to Start' and they obligingly appear, I move them into
the correct group, they stay there for a while and then vanish! It has even done it in front of my eyes! The Start Menu appeared to slide off to the right and then slide back. When it slid back into view, they were gone!
Has anyone else seen anything like this or have any idea what the problem may be?

Hi,
Was your computer in a Domain?
Please check if there is any schedule or GP to regularity reset Start screen layout.
Also, consider the corrupted user profile issue, you can check whether this issue also happened on another user account.
This issue can also be caused by corrupted system components, you can try to use this command to restore healthy:
Please make sure to run CMD as Administrator:

Keyboard shortcuts stopped working after upgrading to iOS 7

Does anyone know how to make the keyboard shortcuts start working again in iOS 8? After I upgraded to I OS 8 on my iPad air, the keyboard shortcut stopped working. Is there anyone who knows how to make this work again? All the fixes online pertain to iOS 7 and earlier, and they're not applicable for iOS 8.
Hope someone can help!
Thanks!

I lost all my keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 5s after upgrading to iOS 8. They still showed up on my iPad Air (iOS 8) and iMac (10.9.5). There were, however, massive sync problems, sometimes they would only flow from one device to all the others, sometimes from one device to only one of the other two, sometimes not at all.
I deleted all my shortcuts and started from scratch, deleting “~/Library/Application Support/Ubiquity”, ~/Library/Dictionaries” and “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput” from the iMac and KeyboardDomain from my iOS devices.
Rebooted everything a dozen times.
Toggled Documents & Data Sync off and on a dozen times too in all kinds of combination with rebooting and deleting the aforementioned files.
Everything always starts working and syncing fine for a very short while, but sooner or later one of my devices stops receiving new shortcuts as I re-add them.
I reboot that device and it catches up. I enter new shortcuts, and that device doesn’t get any new shortcuts. This time, a reboot doesn’t fix anything.
After using my devices for a while, I notice shortcuts are entirely gone from both the iPhone and iPad, but not from the iMac.
I even upgraded my iPhone 5s to a 6, and right off the bat it had issues with keyboard shortcut sync. I also setup my iPad as new, and same thing: right off the bat, sync issues with keyboard shortcuts.

Keyboard shortcuts problem issue after updating to 6.0.5

Directly after installing this update, Command+SpaceBar on the Mac no longer temporarily selects the zoom tool? Not sure what others keyboard shortcuts might be broken, but this is a very standard one. I have a book due on Monday!!! Any help would be appreciated? Thanks!
Not sure if related, but my computer started lagging and freezing directly after installing this update, and continues to the next day, even after repairing permissions, trashing prefernces, trashing SavedData cache, etc.

That totally fixed the shortcut issue!! Fixed in InDesign and Illustrator. Will keep you posted on the computer lagging and freezing issue. Our IT guy thinks it may have something to do the Adobe Updater itself. But we'll see.... thanks so much!

Keyboard shortcut preferences reset after login (10.8)

The problem:
Every time I log out my keyboard shortcut preferences revert. Anything I have ticked or unticked in system prefs / Keyboard / Shortcuts goes back to how it was before. The state it reverts to is not the same as the 'Restore Defaults' option produces.
All other preferences seem to work normally: dock, hotcorners, desktops etc. are all fine.
Interstingly I imported my partner's account from an old powerbook running 10.7 using migration assistant and in her account the preferences work normally.
What I have tried:
I have deleted the com.apple.preferences.plist and logged out and in again. No change.
I have copied the com.apple.preferences.plist from the other account, logged out and in. No Change
I have deleted the com.apple.dock.plist, logged out and in. No Change.
I notice that in the preferences.plist file it mentions the folowing: com.apple.preference.keyboard.lastselectedtab but this does not exist anywhere.
Can anyone suggest anything else to try?

I guess I have missed something in my process. I think I did follow the complete process as you outline it above. But then again I did it so many times yesterday I may have got confused.
In any case this morning after a shutdown and restart overnight it works.
Thanks Barney-15E !

FontBook does not keep settings after computer restart

I have thousands of fonts on my HD folder, and a standards set of System and Library fonts. Any time I disactivate and acivate certain font families, my FontBook keeps these settings (for activation and disactivation) ONLY UNTILL next computer restart cycle.
After restart, when I load my FontBook application to check my fonts settings (for to make the fonts I set previously working again), Fontbook starts activating all my thousands fonts in my custom library, taking munites of waiting for a spinning wheel. I also do not see (off) signs for fonts diactivated during previous session. I see lots of duplicate font warning because Font Book is auto-activate all.
Consiquently, I have to reppeat all the process of activation/disactivation and to help my computer working with less fonts load and resolve duplicates.
So, why Font Book does not keep setting for fonts activation/disactivation in a custom library after computer restart?

Keyboard layout keeps switching after 10.9.4 upgrade

After the recommended upgrade to Maverick 10.9.4, all of us in my group have the problem that the keyboard layout keeps switching every time a new Word document is opened (and possibly on a number of other occasions).
We have MacBookPros 2011, 2012, 2013, all regretting having upgraded to OsX 10.9.4. As per instructions, mine's a Retina late 2013 and got a 2.8 GhZ i7 with 8GB 1600MHz DDR3, 500GB SSD - no performance issues!
There have been two discussion threads as far as I can see; none with a solution.
"Fixing" the keyboard to a single one is not an option for polyglot people like us who actually need several keyboard layouts.
I have fed back to Apple as recommended weeks ago, but to no avail so far.
This persistent problem is driving all of us mad. Does no one on this list have any answers? Surely there's some setting somewhere that turned a perfectly well working system (10.9.3) into one that's costing us tens of minutes every single day (10.9.4)?
Thanks in advance,
Alexander

There is a box that no one had mentioned...
System Preferences---> Keyboard---> Input Source---> Uncheck the "Automatically switch to a document's input source. The input source is used until the document is closed."
kafetzou... You may want to delete the Turkish keyboard so that the English is on top of the list. Then re-add the Turkish keyboard, this will make it under the English. Though I don't know if this will help your problem, or the box that I mentioned above.

Resistry Keeps Reverting After Reboot

Hi,
I am trying to change a few settings to replicate how another xp machine is, however most settings in the needed hive keep reverting back to their value when I reboot and if I delete the value, it reappears after reboot also.
The hive is \\my computer\HKLM/software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon
I get a file called test.sdb on the desktop if I change some gpedit settings but I'm not sure which ones specifically. if this is unrelated to the issue please ignore it.
How do I find the cause of this or stop regedit from reverting these reg keys?

This can be due to group policies, SCCM scripts, startup scripts, or any schedules task. Please verify if anyone of these is causing trouble.

Hi,
I suspect the IE require reboot and TS cannot catch this. So the TS cannot resume its state.

My keyboard shortcuts are gone after installing IOS 7...

Updated to IOS 7 yesterday and today noticed I had no keyboard shortcuts stored anymore... I looked online and apparently others have had problems with their keyboard shortcuts stopping working with IOS 6 in the past, but I didn't see anything about keyboards shortcuts having disappeared before. Apparently the shortcuts are stored/backed up in var/mobile/library/keyboard, but I can't access this directory because I haven't rooted my phone, so I have no way that I can think of to restore them.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem.
It seems to be linkend to the synchronisation of Documents and data with Icloud : I found this explanation in several forums for IOS 6 a(for example http://forums.macg.co/iphone/raccourcis-clavier-hs-ios-6-a-1201194.html, in french) and it seems to be the same thing in IOS 7.
If you inactivate the synchronisation for Documents and data to Icloud, you will recover your shortcuts, but it doesn' seem to be a stable solution.

Keyboard shortcuts keep disappearing/resetting in Premiere Pro CS6

I'll set my custom keyboard shortcuts and a few days later, they no longer work and when I go into the settings, I'll see that all the shortcuts have reset to default.   Not that I think it matters, but the ones I specifically customize are the Add Marker and Default Title back to the Num* and F9 keys.
As of yet, I haven't noticed any common sequence of events that may lead to this. When this happens, I make sure to exit and then reload Premiere immediately to make sure the settings stick, but the resetting of the shortcuts occurs anyway.   Not a major problem, but it gets annoying when you think you're laying down a couple hundred markers as you tap to the beat, only the realize that Num* isn't working anymore.

Good question. If/when it does it again, I'll check. However, until you asked that, I never noticed the keyboard layout options and that one of them is CS5.5. That's an easier fix for me than re-customizing everything, as I was just wanting the CS5 layout.
Something else I noticed is that my workspace is set for "Import from Project" and I'm supposing it's possible that the keyboard layout is connected to the workspace and might be either resetting it to CS6 or custom, which may or may not have had those customizations.   About 25% of the projects I'm working on currently are pre-CS6, so every time I load one of those up, it might be making everything else go wonky.
In any event, I have a better idea what to look out for now. Thanks

Opera's keyboard shortcuts keep changing

When I browse some sites, like Orkut, my keyboard shortcut configuration changes. Don't know why this happens, and when it happens, I cannot write any letter with an accent, like "é", "ã" etc.
So everytime I enter that kind of site I have to go to Tools - Preferences - Shortcuts - Keyboard configuration and change the standard to Opera standard for UNIX. Now I can write letters with accent, but when I enter the site again, I have to do everything again!
Does anybody have this problem too?

Ever heard about Unicode?
To explain it briefly: Before Unicode every charset consisted of 255 different characters (some are control characters, like e.g. line break). This means you can only use these characters. This is a problem if you want to use e.g. cryllic characters or even worse if you are asian and your alphabet consists of much more than 255 characters.
Now with Unicode there are more characters possible. UTF-8 is now one implementation of Unicode. If you open an UTF-8 document with latin1 encoding, you'll realize that special characters (like umlauts, accented characters,...) break into two characters. e.g. Ä breaks into Ã¤ As you see, there are some characters (standard ASCII) only using the space of one character and some using up two four traditional characters.

Wireless keyboard name does not stick, connection lost after reboot/restart

I know this topic has been addressed many times but I might have additional info to this.
I tried to rename my wireless keyboard. The name stays as long as I only let the computer sleep.
As soon as I do a restart/reboot and the connection is lost again, it's name is set back to the old name.
This might be related to the reason why it looses it's connection over and over again.
Does anyone know where this "name" is stored? There must be a plist file or something somewhere where the name is kept, maybe that's the file which is corrupt and must be deleted.
I also was wondering if it is possible to "reboot" the keyboard itself, maybe this setting is stored on the keyboard itself and it cannot properly maintain it.. that might be a reason why for some users the keyboard replacement has helped.

So, the same problem occurred and in a relatively shorter time than before. I began to think that something is causing this problem.
My theory is that it is a VMWare software issue. What I've been doing differently recently is using it in "Unity" mode as opposed to "Full Screen" mode. My guess is that the program is modifying my wireless permissions and screwing it all up.
So, what I've done is set the "Network Adapter" to "Host-Only". This denies the VMWare program internet access but still allows file sharing between the Windows virtual environment and the Mac hard drive.
Then I had to re-install Mac OS X all over again to fix the wireless settings/permissions mess.

Keyboard shortcuts keep vanishing after reboot/restart
