Left ALT key retainer failed and broke on Equium notebook

Hi
my left ALT button's key retainer failed and broke tonight...
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement key retainer?
Thanks,
PM

Hi
Sounds like you would need a new keyboard.
You can order all compatible parts from the Toshiba ASP in your country.
Also the keyboard.
The service technicians could order the part directly from the Toshiba.
Generally the keyboard replacement is not very difficult but if you have no experience in such replacements a help from ASP would be requisite.

Left Alt Key remapped to Z not being seen by LINUX FIREFOX

HP Laptop Z key failed so I remapped Left Alt key as Z in Precise Puppy LINUX. It works as Z in every other program (even CHROMIUM) BUT NOT in FIREFOX.

Sorry to hear that it is not being detected. As a work around have you tried this addon: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/?src=search]

Left alt key not working all the time

the left alt key seems to be intermittent on versions of windows vista and above using a MS wireless keyboard
I don't know about you but the left alt key is very important in my workflow and it works intermittently
It seems to be something with the driver and the person at MS on the phone said it was a driver issue and he had no idea who to send it to.
Removing the "NEW" mouse and keyboard drivers seemed to have worked but not really
Only solution so far is not to buy MS hardware

Hi,
According to your description, it seems like a hardware problem, it would be better to contact Microsoft hardware support:

Lost 'mask' (using alt key) in exposure and sharpening?

The black or white 'mask' by using the alt key in exposure adjustments AND the 'mask' while adjusting amount, detail and unsharp mask in sharpening is missing for me. The only difference I can think of is that LR is now on a new notebook (ASUS) and am now working with Windows 7 64-bit. Is there something I can do to re-gain those helpful masks? Any idea what happened? I'm in the middle of nowhere and don't have a lot of wireless time to research . . . Any help or suggestion will be appreciated. Joia

Well guys, everything checks out good - specs are fine and both alt keys work. The touchpad is, however, a big problem and seems to be the culprit. It switches between being hypersensitive (giving me only a quick flash of the mask) or unresponsive (the sliders do not move at all).
We plugged in a mouse and I now have control of both the masks and sliders.
Thanks again for responding - otherwise I probably would have given up for now while we're on the road - got a lot of work to do. Cheers! Joia

Keyboard x1 carbon - use of alt key

I have a US keyboard. I would like to be able to produce two symbols, the € and the £. I have found that Alt 5 (but only the Alt key on the right of the spacebar) produces €, but have not found anything similar for the £. My questions:
1) Can I produce the £ in a similar manner?
2) Why do the two Alt keys function differently?
3) What is the purpose of the Left Alt key?
Thanks and regards.

I had major problems with the 10.4.3 update on my iMac, and so had a lot of restarts into that startup screen, and it always seemed to work. I was somewhat surprised that it worked, but it does work. I'm not sure at what point the computer looks for the wireless keyboard, maybe there's two checks, one for actual pairing, but also an earlier check to see if any special keys are being pressed.
Thnk about it, you may need to reset PRAM, or put the machine into Firewire terminal mode, and other possible key press start ups. They all work for me.
Is there a chance that your batteries are borderline, and the keyboard is putting itself to sleep?

Problem with alt key in Photoshop CC2014

I'm running Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 Release under Win 7 on a dual monitor system 12 G ram, i7 processor, and a Radeon HD 6700 Graphics card. Everything was working fine until a few days ago. The first problem I noticed was in using ALT-left click to reduce zoom. CTRL-left click zoomed up OK but ALT-left click acted almost like I was pressing the F key to change the view. There are work-arounds for zooming so I continued working. Then I found I could not add a black mask to a layer by pressing ALT while clicking the add layer mask button on the layer panel. I also found that ALT didn't work right in ACR. For example in ACR holding down the ALT key changes the Cancel button to Reset, but clicking on Reset doesn't in fact reset any of the sliders.
I've closed and reopened Photoshop which helped for a short while but the problem came back. I opened Photoshop with the SHIFT-CTRL-ALT keys held down and accepted the resulting dialog box offer to delete preferences, which helped but again the problem returned. I've deleted and redownloaded Photoshop two or three times to no avail, and the last time I also checked that alt key combinations in both Bridge and Lightroom work OK at the same time they are not working in Photoshop. I haven't seen the Alt key misbehave in any application but Photoshop.
I would any suggestions any of you might have about what is wrong.

Just to clarify, are you referring to Alt Space bar left click and drag for zoom? If yes, then that needs 'Use GPU' enabled in Preferences > Performance. So can you check that? It actually works with either Ctrl or Alt together with the space bar. Left mouse click and drag left and right to zoom in and out.
If GPU is checked, can you try some different settings?

You should also make sure the video card driver is fully up to date, and from the card maker's web site.

Hp t510 right alt key mapping not working with ctrl + s

Using the HP t510 to launch a xendesktop session via storefront. We have a mission critical application that uses the ctrl + alt + s hotkey to secure itself. The left alt key with ctrl + s is working as it should but the right alt key does not. When testing in the win7 on screen keyboard the right alt and ctrl stay lit up. When hitting the S key after depressing both the right alt + ctrl (right or left ctrl doesn't matter) the alt keys disappear from the on screen keyboard as if they were no longer pushed. They hotkey combination never makes it to the application and it does not secure itself.
I've tested this same workflow on an ASUS thin client, desktop, and laptop hardware with no issues. It does in fact seem to be some hotkey mapping the HP device has baked into it using the right alt key.
Has anyone seen any issues that even closely mimic this? I've seen some for ctrl + alt + del but their fixes don't work for this specific issue.

Tried installing Windows Vista, cancelled install and now it won't boot from the OEM Vista DVD, all i get is BOOTMGR is missing error... Ctrl Alt Del to restart and when i turn the computer on i get a blank screen and pressing C is not working to boot....

Topic says it all...
My friend started a installation of Windows Vista, but pulled out after deleting all partitions...
So now i power it on, get a blank screen (seems a bit gray because of backlighting, should show the apple logo right?)...
Then after like 15-20sec it will throw out a:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
I have a OEM Windows Vista DVD in the drive, and i know... Windows 7 is better... but i'm not that fond of stealing software from Microsoft and i have 10 licenses for Vista...
I have tried pressing C while booting up but it doesn't work...
Does anyone here have a magic soloution for me, and no i will not install MacOS on it !!!

Deleting Boot Camp partitions the conventional way will not work . You must use the Boot Camp Assistant to remove a Boot Camp partition. Here is a link to the guide.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf
The way to restart is to hold down the option/alt key during startup* and then selecting the Mac OS. If you have a valid Boot Camp install of Windows it would show up during this type of start up.
* hold down immediately after pressing the power button and until the OS choice screen appears.
To summarize.
1 Use the above method to boot into Mac OS.
2 Download the instructions and read them.
3 Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition.
4 Pick your friends more carefully.

T40's Left Shift key makes right click/context menu appear?

Hello All-
On my T40, on which I just recently got Windows 7 correctly installed, has a curious behavior:
When I press the left shift key, it functions the same as if I had pressed the right mouse button. It functions correctly otherwise, I.E., when using it to capitolize a letter in an email, the letter is capitolized, but as soon as I let go of the shift key, the right click/context menu immediately appears.
This is exceedingly irritating, as I cannot continue typing until I have navigated out of the menu.
I have checked to see if the Keyboard Customiser utility is causing this, as I currently have my left Alt key functioning as a Windows button, but it does not appear to be causing this particular issue.
Does anyone have any idea how I might go about fixing this?
Thanks in advance,
G
Solved!

Nevermind-
Had the keyboard customizer set to use the left shfit key as the application key. Duh.

MacOsX : can't type characters Alt Key modifier on JDeveloper

I have a problem using JDeveloper 9.0.3 on macosx 10.2. My problem is that I cant type any characters alt key modifier like [{|]} and this characters are very important.
Can somebody help me

I just noticed that using the option key ... doesn't seem to work at all for accents or any of the other characters (like œ or © or ®) either.
Could it be that your keyboard is broken? Can you try another one?
Also try creating a new user account and see whether you have the same problem when logged into that.
If you open Keyboard Viewer and press the Option/alt key, do you see the special characters?

Siebel webclient: An attempt to create a registry key has failed

Hi,
I am trying to install siebel webclient on my PC. but i am getting an error "An attempt to create a registry key has failed" and after this, the installer has uninstalled the files.
I have succesfully installed the same around 1 year ago. But uninstalled after that. Now i am trying to install again.
I believe the uninstaller has not cleaned the Registry properly.
Can any one help me to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Umesh

And if you have to include type, it might be better to use a switch statement:
Foreach ($RegVal in $RegGroup.Group) {
Switch ($RegVal.Type) {
"String" {Set-RegString $RegVal.Value $RegVal.Data}
"Dword" {Set-RegDword $RegVal.Value $RegVal.Data} <etc>
I hope this post has helped!

CHANGE BRUSH SIZE WITH CTRL and alt KEYS

Hello everyone,
i'm on the road with my new macbook and i have a problem with setting up my wacom pen.
At home i use a iMac with CS5 and to change the brush size i press the alt and the ctrl key and move the pen to left/tight up/down to chang size and hardnes of the brush. I find this very handy!
On my new Macbook i have CC and i don't have the option to use this easy key combination, i was loking around and did some google, but i could not find the place to get the same settings on my macbook.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thank you very much.

When you press and hold Option/Alt + Control and Left mouse click and drag nothing happens?
(the button on your pen is set to left click?)
The Option/Alt key should always be the second key to the left of the spacebar
The Control key should always be the third key to the left of the spacebar

Left shift key remapped into alt key

Hi Everybody
The left shift key of my Macbook air started to work exactly like the alt key, like it was remapped.
(the alt key works normally)
The solution of the problem might be simple but I couldn't find any way to change the behaviour in Maverick.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

How to detect it left side Alt or right side Alt key pressed?

Hi,
I want to know if there is a way to detect whether it is the alt key on the left of the keyboard pressed or it is the alt key on the right side of the keyboard pressed. I don't want to use JNI stuff. Is there a 100% Java solution to it?
Thanks

I've seen bug reports regarding this issue, and it is stated as fixed, but I don't know for which release of the jdk. So far, I think you can't distinguish between left and right alt/shift/ctrl..

TS3048 I have just purchased a new apple cordless keyboard. The numeric line of keys along the top are not functioning as they should. For example I am unable to get a question mark or a forward slash. I have tried holding down both shift and alt keys.

I have just purchased a new apple cordless keyboard. The numeric line of keys along the top are not functioning as they should. For example I am unable to get a question mark or a forward slash. I have tried holding down both shift and alt keys.

Thanks for prompt response - I tried what you suggested but I'm afraid it has not helped. It seems as though the line of number keys along the top aren't actually doing what is printed on them. Some are OK, but the further towards the right hand side of the keyboard you go, the less predicatable it becomes. So whilst the second key from the left gives me 1 and ! when holding the shift key, by the time I get to the 6 when I press and hold shift I get ^ rather than & symbol which is what is actually printed on the key. The & symbol is actually on the next key along - and when I hit the key with 8 I get * rather than the ( which is printed on they key but actually located on the next key along. Things get even more muddled by the time I am over on the right hand side as rather than a question mark (I have had to type the word as I cannot find the symbol anywhere!) I get this _ and the other symbol marked on the key is a comma, but I get - instead. It is going to drive me mad if every time I want to type something it is a guessing game....! What do you suggest - question mark
