Language input switching shortcut doesn't work

Hi! I always use command-space to switch between English and Chinese (Cangjie) input (having disabled this shortcut for Spotlight), but all of a sudden it stops working. I know the command key works and the space bar works, but when I press command-space it does nothing. I have to click on the little language flag to switch language. I also tried restarting the mini.
There is also something weird about the Chinese inputting now but I'll ask that in another post.
Thanks!

I've been having a similar problem, but a little more elaborate.
It started with my Finder switching on its own from US (my default) keyboard input to Hebrew. I would just switch back using the shortcut (command+space bar), a shortcut I have been using for years without problems. Now the shortcut is giving me problems, and sometimes doesn't work, as steveappleotp describes.
While in Safari, the shortcut failed to work. I checked my System Preferences for language input and nothing had changed. When I used the mouse to open the language input menu, 3 of the 6 languages were grayed out. But this doesn't happen consistently. All of a sudden everything is okay and I don't know how to recreate the problem.
Thought I would post this here as it's recent and related, but maybe I should start another thread.
Thanks.

Why do we have to install 2 add ins for something that should be built in? Please add this to the next version or an update to this one even. We should see the full path of a bookmark when we search for it. Show Parent Folder alone isn't enough if you have sub folders, so I installed Go Parent Folder as well in case of sub folders.

Keyboard shortcuts doesn't work with iOS 6.1.3

Since I've upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, my keybord's shortcuts doesn't work.
Can you help me?Key

HI boombadabum,
I understand that you are having issues with keyboard shortcuts with a custom keyboard layout.
I also understand that when you press the shortcuts that the menu blinks like it is working, but nothing actually happens.
As a work around, you may be able to map them out with this add on[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/]

Switch Between Apps shortcut doesn't work, tip won't go away

The only solution I could find for this is to move my mouse to the top left of the screen, but it doesn't work when I do. Therefore, whenever I have an app open, the ****ing tip to switch between apps won't leave my screen. Same thing for the tip that
shows me where the start button is, only when the tip isn't actually there, I can use the button without a hitch. Seriously frustrating considering I haven't had a computer for almost a week and this happened the moment I started it up.

Language-Pack L10N-Kit doesn't work

          The kit seems to be installed in the same manner on both machines as support for
          JDK 1.3. But on one machine the Kit works - on another one it doesn't.
          Has anybody experience with this type of problem?

CMD+ any shortcut doesn't work in Safari after upgrading to Yosemite

After upgrading from Mavericks to OS X Yosemite 10.10 not a single CMD+ shortcut works?!
For example CMD+tab works (switching between apps), ctrl+tab works (switching between tabs), but none of these work: CMD+W, CMD+Q, CMD+F, CMD+C, CMD+X, CMD+P...
They all work perfectly fine in all other apps. It's just Safari.
Does anyone have any idea why and how to fix this?

I have a similar pb :
CMD+SHIFT+1,2,3,... doesn't work in safari.
I'm using "English interface" with "French keyboard".
following miladc advice and link (Shortcuts not working on Safari and Firefox),
I changed my Language pref to French ... so I got "French interface" with "French keyboard" ... and it worked once !!!!
But it works no more ... very weird
All I want to do, it's having shortcut for my bookmarklet !

Keyboards shortcuts doesn't work

Command+1 shortcut doesn't work in iTunes 7?

During the years of having iTunes 5 & 6, I used to have those keyboard shortcuts like command+1, command+2 to show the main window of iTunes and Equalizer. This function is really helpful when you choose one song to play, then close the iTunes window to save the space on desktop, then use command+1 to show the main window of iTunes again when you need it. Really convenient.
But since I updated the iTunes 7 yesterday, I sadly found out that the key stroke combination of command+1 doesn't work anymore. Now every time when you need the iTunes window to show up, you have to click the iTunes 7 icon on the dock again. And same as the command+2 for equalizer. Since iTunes 7 erased the equalizer icon on the main pane in the corner right below, this is really not so fast as before to get those windows showed when you need them.
This issue is really unlikely to happen because I checked the new help topics of iTunes 7, there still are the entries of command+1/2 in the help topics, but they just do not work!!! Is that a new bug of iTunes 7?
Anyone has any idea about solving this problem? Or did anyone found the new keyboard shortcuts? Thanks in advance!!!

"Get Info" - new shortcut doesn't work

I'm trying to create a more convenient keyboard shortcut for "Get Info" on iTunes, since I use it a lot. I want to replace Command-I with F19 on a full-size aluminum Apple keyboard.
Using the Application Shortcuts I entered F19 as the new "Get Info" shortcut, and iTunes duly shows F19 on the menu; Command-I does not work any longer. So far so good - the problem is that it doesn't work on iTunes. It works in the Finder, I can invoke the Info window of a file that way now, but neither an universal All Applications shortcut or an iTunes specific one will bring up the information of a track, which is what I want.
Any ideas? This seems to be a genuine bug, since the menu is updated properly - it just fails to work.

Yes, of course. I understand you're just trying to rule out the obvious first.

Link Device Switch just doesn't work!

Hi guys,
Was really excited to get my spanking new Z10 but its been marred with issues ever since I got it! Now the biggest problem for me is the sync. I have a 9700 on OS6 and have been trying to use the device switch to get all the data transferred onto my Z10.
I started device switch and it successfully backs up the 9700 but when I connect the Z10 and start the process there, in 1 second it shows data successfully copied and then gives me a communication error (Failed to read the device backpup types) and then no data has been copied on to my Z10.
This is extremely annoying! Can anyone please help me with this! Thanks!!

Agreed, it doesn't work.
Have tried via a media card. Copied the "DeviceSwitch" directory to every possible location on the media card and it still doesn't do anything. I suspect the Z10 is looking for a different directory name than that created on the old phone (Curve 9320 running 7.1).
Have tried the PC transfer, this was worse. The only thing that transferred was calendar items. Shame that it stored events from a few years ago to current dates. It's as if it didn't take the year into account and just loaded old data starting with the current date.
This is incredibly poor programming. This is my fourth and LAST BB. I've only had it for a day and after 4 hours of trying to do a simple copy I'm ready to throw it away! I have no patience left for the company I have supported for the last 6 years.
UPDATE - The Z10 won't read the media card from the Curve as it has a different format. This is why it doesn't find the DeviceSwitch directory with the data on it. Does anyone actually TEST software they write these days?

Dictionary shortcut doesn't work for me

I found out that we can look up vocabularies on Safari while pressing ControlCommandD. However, I'm unable to bring this feature out no matter how many times I pressed this shortcut.(I even pressed it for 20 sec and nothing happened.)
Yes, I have went to system preferences-keyboard shortcuts-"look up in dictionary", and it is indeed checked. I even tried to change the shortcut setting and it still didn't work.
Any ideas what's wrong and how can I get it to work? Any known programs that may cause the problem? (I have LiveDictionary installed, would this affect the shortcut key?)
(and no, I don't want to use LiveDictionary to replace the build in dictionary feature because it is only a shareware)

Thank you for the reply.
I only tried this feature on "Safari"; It is a cocoa application, no??
The thing is, it doesn't work. I do not know why. I can't figure out what is causing the problem.
system preferences-keyboard&mouse-keyboard shortcuts tab-"look up in dictionary" <-- it is checked.
So, I don't know why it wouldn't work. I moved my cursor over to the word and pressed controlcommandD for 15-20sec. I even highlighted the word, yet nothing happened.
I still need help on this...

The "hide" shortcut doesn't work

Hello, I want to know why the shortcut "hide bottom" (control E on PC) doesn't work on my illustrator, I need to install all the program again?

Lea,
I am afraid this is what you have (Object>Hide>Hide All Artwork Above being quite useful but rather the opposite):
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-62b8a .html#WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-62b6a
The concept exists, but in other contexts:

TS2634 Ipad 3 cover fault - magnetic switch off doesn't work. Anyone found a way to make this work please?

Ipad 3 cover fault - magnetic switch doesn't work to switch off ipad when cover is closed. Anyone found a way to make this work please?

Has this problem just cropped up or has it been there all along.
The iPad 3 requires a Smart Cover with magnet aligned only in a certain way. This was not the case for the previous models of iPads. So some older covers will work with the newer iPads because their magnets just happened to be aligned just right. Other covers will not.
