Keyboard window does not work.

When recording a track using the Keyboard window, all notes clicked with the mouse are recorded just as very short notes. It's as if the mouse was always let up right away after clicking during recording. I'm having this problem with an eMac - there is no problem on other Macs I've tried.
I cannot figure this out...thanks for helping...

OK. I think I finally figured this out...
The specific file I was using was "2-1 Eyewitness Starting" from the CD that comes with the Apple Training Series book "Garageband 2" by Mary Plummer, that is published by Peachpit Press.
The problem exists in some of the files from this book (but not all). I'm wondering if these files are in some way corrupt, or possibly created in an earlier version (1.0?) and are not converted properly.
Anyway, I have no problem with newly created files, so I'm satisfied.
Thanks.

Popups: Navigation from view to window does not work

Hi,
I open a second window as popup. This window has 2 views embedded, displaying view1 first. On some actions I would like to navigate to view2.
Defining an outbound plug on view1 and an inbound plug on view2, connecting them and firing the outbound withith the onaction works absolutely fine.
However, for some reasons I would like to avoid a direct navigation, but would like to navigate from view1 to the popupo window and from there to view2 (or maybe another view, ofcourse also embedded in the same popup window). Unfortunately I fail on this scenario - I can fire the view-to-window plug, but the destination on the window side (handle in method) is never reached.
Since the same concept works fine on non-popup windows I wonder whether a navigation from view to embedded window does not work for popups?
Any idea?

Hi Yashpal,
no, just one window.
The first link is view1 -> window, the second window -> view2.
I.e., I fire in the view the outbound plug, which is connected with its window.
In the window I fire an outbound plug, which is connected to view2.
In theory this should work - for non-popup windows I do not have any problem at all, however, for popup windows the navigation from view1 to the window is not processed.
In the meantime I played a little bit further: Instead of firing a navigation from view1, I now fire an event defined in the component contoller, on which an event method is registered within the window. Doing so, I reach the window, which I didn't reach via the navigation link. Once in the window, firing to view2 works just fine ...
Hope the issue is a bit clearer now. Also I found a solution, I am surprised that the simpler way via navigation does not work.

Double Click on Keyboard shortcut does not work

I want to change a keyboard shortcut. I have a Norwegian keyboard and the key combination for change active window in an application (multiple mail messages or Word documents) is not available. The Keyboard shortcut is set to ' - on my keyboard the ' character is <. The key combination < does not work unless I change layouts to a US keyboard. Keyboard shortcuts says that a double click on the shortcut will allow me to change the combination. This does not happen. I get an error bing instead. Any ideas of what is going on and how to change a shortcut in Leopard. I think this worked in Tiger. I have tried a hardwired as well as my bluetooth keyboard.

Solved this one - you have to click on the key combination itself and not in the text area that describes the key combination.

Custom shortcuts addee via Keyboard.prefPane does not work..

Hi,
I read several sites that all refer to a way to create a shortcut for a menu command without one, ref.: <http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/keyboard.html>
However, that does not work at all for me. Never has. So what I am doing wrong? In particular, I would like to add a shortcut to open the main window of Address Book, after closing the window leaving the app running.
Anyonw could do me a run through? Cause the above mentioned procedure does not work.

Welcome to our community
The issue is typically a matter of focus. Particularly in Firefox. In IE, when the page loads and is presented, the Flash object (your Captivate movie) is given focus. So the keyboard shortcuts work. But that doesn't happen in Firefox. In Firefox, you must first click somewhere on the Flash object to give it focus. From there forward, shortcuts work because the Flash object is now listening for them.
In every class I facilitate I demonstrated this and advise that it's a good idea to have a button on the first slide. This serves two purposes.
It forces the user to click to proceed
It keeps the first slide paused until the user is ready
Yeah, before someone comes along and says: (in an annoyingly nasal tone) Mr. Man, you KNOW there is an option in Captivate to keep it paused at the start... I'm well aware that Captivate offers this option without adding a button, but I prefer it for the reasons above.
Cheers... Rick

Right click on a link and selecting "open in new window" does not work. How do I gewt this feature to work? PS Right click on a link and selecting open in new tab does.

No matter where the link is - in an e-mail or on a web page - the "Open in new window" feature does not work. Very annoying. Also I close Firefox in a session, but then cannot re-open it. When I shut my PC down I get a prompt to End Task -[ Firefox ] and a window opens asking if I want to save tabs and quit; quit; or cancel. After closing Firefox it does not show as an application running in Task Manager
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I recently re-installed Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

MAXIMIZE WINDOW DOES NOT WORK IN FORMS 9i

Hi,
I am performing forms conversion and developing new forms in Forms 9i. The problem I am running into is that :
the SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW, WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE)
and SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(ROOT_WINDOW, WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE)
in the When_new_form_instance trigger don't work.
I've also tried adding a parameter to initiate the running mode as WEB as suggested in a response that I saw on this
forum, with that parameter I would set the ROOT_WINDOW State to NORMAL
then set WIDHT=800, HEIGHT=600, POSITION=0, 24.........
but it still does not work. When I run the form, the browser opens up as a full screen, but the form only fills up the gray rectangular
area when the Jiniator is running and loading the applet.
If I don't set the Maximize property of the main window to Yes then the vertical and horizontal scroll bars are automatically added,
if I do set so then no scroll bar is added and the form is cut off.
Is it a known problem ? and is there a solution to it?
Any response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
TLe

Thanks, it worked, and I've been playing with other parameters, such as replacing the lookandfeel (this works), but splashscreen and background don't when I specified the .GIF file name, it did not display the GIF image.
Thanks again.

Apple software update for windows does not work properly

Apple software update does not work properly

I FIXED IT!! I can't believe it . I actually figured out how to make it work(well sort of). My Apple Software Updater now works (almost) perfectly and I just successfully downloaded and installed itunes 10.6.3.25 through it!!!
Ok , the way I see it, either the latest itunes update or the recent Windows Patch Tuesday on June 12th, 2012 must have inadvertently removed the Administrative Rights from the Apple Software Update Tool .lnk file.
So you must go to where the file resides on your hard drive - for me that was C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs - Right click on the Apple software Tool icon and choose properties. Click on the compatibility tab. At the bottom of this tab click on "change settings for all users" and hit Yes at the UAC pop-up. Now make sure you place a check in the "Run this program as Administrator" under the Privilege level section at the bottom. Hit Apply and then OK. The hit Ok again to get off the properties pop-up.
When I went back and clicked on the Apple Software Update shortcut, I got a UAC pop-up asking me if I wanted to proceed(something I had always, in the past, gotten but haven't since this problem started). The Apple Software Update tool came up and to my suprise the progress bar STAYED and started to slowly fill up partially with the green progress bar. Viola, the itunes 10.6.3 update showed up on the top part of the screen as a new update needing to be installed - the bottom screen, as usual, had the changelog info for the 10.6.3 update. I clicked on install and , again, Viola. the update downloaded and installed flawlessly. I had to reboot my computer and when it restarted, itunes was working perfectly and it was correctly showing as itunes v10.6.3.25.
I say it is almost or sort of fixed because when you click on the Apple Software Update shortcut after the 10.6.3 install it goes back to doing the same thing it did before(i.e. processing for a second and then saying there are new updates but showing a blank field). Maybe this is the way the software now looks if there are no updates available to install - maybe Apple is working on this to eventually get it back to normal. All I know is the process I outlined above worked for me(at least to get the ASU to recognize and properly download and install itunes 10.6.3). It's certainly not perfect, but it worked. Please try this method and let me know what results you have with it. Good luck.

Keyboard illumination does not work. No light.

Hi every one,
I have a problem. My keyboard's illumination does not work at all. I tried pressing on F8/F9/F10 and nothing. Then something happened and now I have to press FN + F8/F9/F10, or even sometimes when I clicked on those, a thing popped on the screen with a "blocked logo" or "restricted logo" kind of a thing. I tried the Lab Tick and no good. I did PRAM reset and saw no difference. So, basically there is still no light at all.
BTW in System Preferences>Keyboard>limitation is checked.
So basically
1. How do I fix the illumination/light on my keyboard?
2. Why did the F8/9/10 work after I press FN at the same time?
Help please...

Show Reading List keyboard shortcut does not work

The Show Reading List keyboard shortcut (shift-command-L) does not work in Lion Safari 5.1.

Problem has been fixed. I reported the bug to Apple from the Safari menu. Also, I had a different application that used the same keyboard shortcut for one of their hotkey's which I disabled. Then it worked fine. Shift-Command-L now shows reading list in Lion.

Keyboard shortcut does not work on first slide in Web Browser

I'm using a workbook to learn Captivate.
I added a keyboard shortcut, the Enter key, to buttons on the first and second slides.
When I preview the project in Captivate, the shortcuts all work.
When I preview the project in a Web Browser (specifically Firefox 3.6.16), the shortcut does not work on the first slide, but does work on subsequent slides.
Any ideas why this would happen?

Keyboard shortcut does not work on ML

Hi everyone!
I've been in love with one smal feature of Lion: to send email with chosen file just out of the Finder by simply pressing cmd+shift+1.
In spite of that this feature is available in ML disability access preferences it does not work at all. I'm not sure if TotalFinder caused this failure, because it worked perfect during times of Lion.
Has anyone of you know some suggestion?

Never heard of that shortcut before. Where exactly do you see it? In Accessibility? Which section?
If I set up a shortcut with that combination, I do not get any warnings that it is in use.
You would have had to set that up yourself or a program was helping you do that.
In Mountain Lion, if you right-click, there is an Email option in Share.
You could also create an Automator Service to do what you want and assign a shortcut to that.
It quite possibly could be TotalFinder interfering with whatever you had set up before.

Boot camp 3.2 windows xp keyboard wire does not work key volume and brightness, etc.

I bought today a new apple keyboard with wire.
The old keyboard had a broken button, but the control keys f1-f12 all worked with both os mac or os both windows.
Now I change the keyboard, but I do not work anymore keys f1-f12 under Windows XP, but they work under Snow Leopard.
I updated bootcamp in XP until version 3.2, but the problem remained.
What can I do?
best regards

Adding to the above: I also tried plugging in an Microsoft USB keyboard at the point when Windows freezes at the Windows log-in screen. The keyboard is not recognized and the only way I can leave this screen is to power-off the computer.
