Mapping media keys to xfce4-mixer

I tried to search and find someway to link my media keys on XPS M1330 to my xfce4-mixer. My keyboard is setup as evdev, running xev shows my keys are already set to XF86Audio(something). I even tried to map xmodmap and it didn't help. Anyone know if it is possible to map keys to control xfce4-mixer?

Maybe, I don't know. I have solved it using another software that comes with ALSA. (The result is the same, it will show up in xfce4-mixer too)

Mapping media keys on G5 keyboard

Hi Mac Pro folks
I am not sure how many Mac users today still prefer using the old, big G5 keyboard, anyway I am one of them. The first thing to start using my brand new Mac Pro was to pair it with my G5 keyboard over Bluetooth.
However, the G5 keyboard does not have the media keys like those on today's Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. The media keys are very convenient as they are always workable even you are not operating iTunes.
Is there a way to map these media keys to some of F keys on my G5 keyboard?
Thanks,
B

I tried to add F8 as Play for iTunes but it did not work.
Moreover, does Application based mean the key won't work once iTunes window is not the current active window?
What I am expecting is to get the media keys (always workable even iTunes not in the active window) mapped to a few Function keys. Any hints please?

Media keys to sensitive

I have an issue with the media keys of my laptop. With an own map they're recognized by the gnome shortcut manager and i can assign the volume up and down button, but they react way to sensitive. When i press it once the computer acts like i pressed them for seconds (compared to when i use another key as shortcut vor volume up or down) also the mute button causes toggling for seconds. Has anyone an idea how to fix this?

Media Keys Recognized Correctly Using Xev but pressing has no effect.

On g15 keyboard Xev maps the multimedia keys correctly
(KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x5600001,

XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 162
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
but Clementine doesn't react when the key is pressed.
I don't know what changes but rebooting can fixes / creates the problem randomly.

I have g15daemon , g15composer, g15macro, g15stats, libg15, lib15render installed.
The media keys are detected when setting them in the global shortcut for clementine, but pressing them has no effects (works on some reboots as i mentioned).
Hmmm....G15 media keys works out-of-the-box for Amarok. I can experiment on my box once I'm through with work in a few hours.
Looking at the Clementine bugtracker-there's an open bug regarding multimedia keys on Win7 and Clementine already. I'll play later-but I'm thinking this is something to post on their bug tracker.

IWeb page generates IE9 error for Google Maps API key

My iWeb site generates an error in IE9 "This web site needs a different Google Maps API key". Is there any fix in iWeb for this?
I've found this link that offers a solution for IE9 users. It seems to be a bug with IE9 mixed content security settings, but people will blame my website and not their browser
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_7/ie-9-is-telling-me-my- website-needs-a-different/59bfa1ed-f757-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5
Excerpt from that site "Okay, I resolved the issue. I went into my Security settings. Under Miscellaneous I changed Display mixed content to "Enable". I believe there is a bug in the Display mixed content feature. I should be able to keep the setting at "Prompt", then see the content when I click the appropriate option when prompted. I believe the Google Maps API message was shown in error."

You have to get your own API key: https://code.google.com/apis/console/
My map uses a custom solution (Web Apps & Google Maps API V3) and is still working fine.

ITunes 10.5 and Microsoft keyboard media keys with IntelliType Installed

Hi. I just updated to iTunes 10.5 and the media keys (play/pause, back, and forward buttons -- the latter two of which have been mapped to previous and next track respectively) on my Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 keyboard no longer work when iTunes in minimized. It works fine if iTunes is the active window. I tried installing the latest version of IntelliType (v8.2) and the installation notified me that I already have the latest version. I had no problems with the older version of iTunes (10.4).
Is anyone else having this problem? Any solutions? Thanks in advance!

I managed a different FIX. This is just for Microsoft Multimedia keyboard (I have Microsoft 8000)
I uninstalled Microsoft Intellitype 8.1 that I had and then installed the newer 8.2 Version.
Before I did that I Downgraded to Itunes 10.3 64x like someone else said, but it did not help.
If this fix don't work with Itunes 10.5 then Downgrade like I did, It easier..No copying of files needed.
After you uninstall Itunes 10.5 and Install 10.3, it give you an error for your library.
So you press "SHIFT" and then open ITUNES.
then you go to "My Music\iTunes" folder inside your genereal music folder, it should be there. (WIN 7)
then to "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and you should have a backup or and some kind of old "itunes Library folder" files...you choose one of them and Itunes opens fine with all playlist and everything.
Now everything workd find.
Good luck!
P.S
I after all this this does not work, might be because I installed Itune 10.3 before the new Intellitype 8.2.
So try Uninstalling Intellitype 8.2 again.
Then reinstall it...maybe it does things when Installing...I don't know.

Next / Previous media keys don't work on 3rd Party Keyboard, Play/Pause does work. [MAC]

Hello!
So I am using a Logitech G710+ keyboard with my Mac (running 10.9) , and the media keys (Play/Pause, Stop, Next and Previous) work perfectly fine with iTunes, even in background.
Now, when I use Spotify, I usually quit iTunes (to stop conflicts), but only the Play/Pause key seems to work.
It does work in the background, which is good, but crucially the Next / Previous keys don't work at all.
Any ideas?

So I have the exact same issue as everyone else here. I have a Logitech K750 wireless keyboard running Yosemite on my MBP. I don't necissarily think this issue resides with Spotify, but instead with Logitech. If I use the media keys on my MBP I am capable of using Next/Previous even when Spotify is in the background. On the wireless keyboard only Play/Pause and the Volume buttons work. I think the issue is with the key mapping with the Logitech. Then again, I don't know how the code is written. Maybe Spotify missed an alternative key map for the media buttons. I didn't write the code.... The logitech forum is a ghost town for this issue though. Only post I found was 5 years old. EDIT: With further reasearch I DO believe the problem lies with Spotify. A tech for Logitech explained to me that Spotify wrote some "interesting" code for the keymap functionality for its Mac client. A quick Google search shows that it is not only Logitechs experiencing this issue. It would be great if we could get someone to look into this. It isn't critical, but it sure would be nice to get fixed.

Key mapping/ remote key

Hi All,
I have some understanding of key mapping internal functionality.
my question is ... should I use this key mapping feature from all look up tables, main table while importing from remote systems?
should all my feilds have REMOTE KEY enabled.
Lets say I have loaded data into my repository from 3 different remote systems(R1,R2,R3) using remote key feature.
Now, I want to see all the records that belong to R1 only or R2 only?
Can this be seen using remote mapping feature? or how can I see only specific records for one remote system.... should i create another field that identifies the source and just map it? ....... generally how do we handle this?
Also, have uploaded the data for my lookup table DIVISIONS,when i try syndicating it for remote R1......
in my destination preview i can see some records that belong to only R2 and R3 also. I mean I am not able to see only the
records belong to R1 system.
I mapped
division <-> div
desc     <-> desc
there are two more keys like remote key, v...... Should I also map these keys?
Pls let me know,
Thanks & regards,
Vee

Hi,
my question is ... should I use this key mapping feature from all look up tables, main table while importing from remote systems?
should all my feilds have REMOTE KEY enabled.
1. It is totally dpeend upon business requirement which table you want to make remote enable.
    The main reason to use remote key is to syndiacte the data to remote system specific.
     So if you are syndication your subtables to then it is good to make remote key enable.
2. Only tables are remote key enabled not the fields.
Lets say I have loaded data into my repository from 3 different remote systems(R1,R2,R3) using remote key feature.
Now, I want to see all the records that belong to R1 only or R2 only?
Can this be seen using remote mapping feature? or how can I see only specific records for one remote system.... should i create another field that identifies the source and just map it? ....... generally how do we handle this?
This is not possible as standard way.
But workaround is when you map the source field to remote key at destination side in import manager,just make the clone of source field and map it to the new fields to store the system from where the records came.
So in data manager you can search on this field to see only records that is specific to some remote system.
Also, have uploaded the data for my lookup table DIVISIONS,when i try syndicating it for remote R1......
in my destination preview i can see some records that belong to only R2 and R3 also. I mean I am not able to see only the
records belong to R1 system.
I mapped
division <-> div
desc <-> desc
there are two more keys like remote key, v...... Should I also map these keys?
Yes you have to map these fields as well.
Even after mapping this option if you want to syndicate all the remote system records then there is option "override remote keys".after enabling this option there is record generated for each remote system.
hope it helps you.
Thanks,
Sudhanshu

Media Keys Not Working - Apple Wireless Keyboard - Snow Leopard 10.6

Hello, I am a new user to this Support Area and i tried calling but as its Christmas Day i cant get through because there closed so i decided to join here.
Ok basically my problem is that i have a iMac and i recently installed Snow Leopard and on Christmas Day i got a Wireless Apple Keyboard i set it up all went well and got through all the bluetooth process fine except when i went to try use the Media Keys which are Brightness Up/Down, Volume Control, Play/Pause/FastForward and the other two don't know what there called tho when i press any of them they dont work when i press F12 which has a picture of Volume Up it goes to my Widgets thing and when i press F11 which is Volume Down it moves all the current apps out of the desktop like a clearing space function.
I Really would like to have the Media Keys back to how there supposed to be i don't know why it is doing this but i think its Snow Leopard.I Have tried everything possible in System Prefs even removed the keyboard from the Bluetooth paired devices and re paired it but still nothing. It would be mostly appreciated if one you guys could help me soon..
Thanks Sean

Wow! I am in the exact same situation. I don't think it is Snow Leopard tho b/c when I plug my old keyboard back in the media keys work fine. It might have to do with the apple aluminum keyboard 2.0 update but when I try to download that it says my system is unable to support it (eben tho it only requires at least 10.5.8).
If you find a solution let me know.

Media keys no longer work

Do you have any screenshots you can attach to more clearly explain your issue?
No

I don't have google music neither, my problem started after the first time running Windows Media Player in Windows 8.1, and after that every time I press the media keys it opens WMP.
I already desactivated WMP from the control panel but it doesn't work the media keys for now...
Also I saw a video that in Win 7 they go to msconfig and unselect the service from there but I don't find it in Win 8.1
Any other guess???

Illumination Media Keys stopped working

Please help me.
My illumination soft touch media keys are not working. I try to reinstall the Value Added Package but still the media keys are not working.
What should I do?
Thanks I really appreciates your help.

Marlon I don't believe it is hardware problem. To be honest best way to fix this and test the functionality is to install OS again using Toshiba recovery image. After doing this you will have factory settings and clean preinstalled Vista and everything should work properly again.
You can start installation from HDD using F8 at start-up. All data saved on second partition will be there and you will not lose them.
If you are not sure how to do this check this document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

Quick time Media keys issue

Hello
I work for a company which makes .mov files, which is embedded with quicktime movies,So my computer at work has all the media keys fed to the quicktime by me....
The problem is it keeps disappearing once a day ...which results me in entering them again ...which is a pain entering
Anybody have any idea why this is happening .....
Thanks in advance

Hello
Thanks for reading
Thanks Kyn Drake
I thought I will provide more information about my issue which will give explain the issue a bit better
The company I work for makes movies (AVI) and put them in our custom software as .mov and sell it,Which is converted to .mov and encoded using media keys through Sorenson Squeeze..(This is done on a separate system dedicated for the use of Squeeze)
So if we have to play them in my computer, where we make these movies I embedded the corresponding keys in quicktime media keys section in order for them to play.
So the movies plays no issues
But,The issue is Once I installed the software it doesnt work, Let me explain how our software licenses the keys.
Our software which consist of all the movies with different media keys plays in any computer without these keys since the software comes with an usb key ( which has these keys embedded in them)
I installed the software in my computer which already has media keys in the computer and also the usbkey plugged in inorder for the software to run without any issues...
So every time the software loads it loads they movie file to quicktime(inside the software) and then removes the keys from the Quicktime ..since it already has the keys in the usb.
( To my understanding it is not suppose to remove the media keys no matter what)
I am not sure if quicktime is destined to do this or is there any way to fix this issue
Sorry English is not my first language so if any of the above doesn't make much sense excuse me. I will try to be more explanatory
Thanks in advance

Quick question about Quicktime media keys.......

I had a question about encoding video and media keys. It seems to me that the only codec that allows you to encode it with a media key is Sorenson (Sorenson 3 I think). Why are they the only ones that are enabling that in their codecs? Is it kind of a dying technology or practice? I've experimented with Sorenson 3 and Sorenson Squeeze trials and, even though it looks ok, it simply doesn't stack up to others like Apple's H.264 or open-source x264 or even Xvid. I guess I wish there were a way to be able to use media key options with all the new H.264 codecs. Is it possible to do that, either with Xcode or AppleScript? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

QuickTime has supported 'media keys" since version 3 but you can only add them using the third party software.
You would be better served by contacting Sorenson and asking them about their support for newer codecs.

Media Keys

When I installed Windows 7 RC for the first time the media keys worked.
When I rebooted, they no longer work.
How do I solve this?

Thank you guys for your help. However i have done both power down function and reinstalled the value added package. The media keys i'm talking about are on the left side of the keyboard under the power button. There is the Eco, Mute, movie, play/pause, reverse fast forward and fast forward and volume up and down. The power button lights up, the caps button lights up, the satellite word lights up on bottom left and above the touchpad and below the spacebar that lights up. I just can't use those keys. They use to work and I thought I had to do some checking in a box but I've gone throught the toshipa HS setup and my Bios is V3.10 11/30/09. I'm running windows 7 service pack 1 64 bit.
This has happend to me before when I had to do a sytem restore but I can't find or remember how to get them to work again. Also people have said use the function key and held down but I can't find anything that talkes about making those buttons work and light up.
Thanks,
Christopher

Multi Media Key Board

The multi media keys on my HP HID wireless Multi Media keyboard no longer work although the rest of the keys are O.K.. I think I did something wrong when I went into the 'properties' as I can no longer see the 'BUTTONS' listed there. Can anybody help please.

Hi Waren
Adding to Tulse's helpful suggestions...
I recently created my first Keynote. Before using the application I watched the short videos from this Apple Keynote Tutorial. This short time investment helped me immensely. Saved a lot of time.
Images: you will have to import your photos into iPhoto or Aperture, as Keynotes Media Browser accesses your images from those sources. And, as Tulse suggested keep images at or smaller than 1024x768. Otherwise you may experience lag time.
When I prepare images for Keynote, I first alter them in Photoshop as PSD files using a minimum of 240 dpi. When saving, I change the DPI to 150 dpi (probably can get away with 72 dpi, however I bumped it a bit just to be safe). Then, I save as a JPG using the maximum quality setting (12). Image size is usually around 350K. Then, I open iPhoto (or Aperture) and import the images (shift/command/I keys is the iPhoto shortcut). I haven't had any problems with artifacts, however, if you do, then I also second TIFF as the alternative.
Also, make sure you are creating the keynote presentation on the same machine you'll use to run Keynote. On the MacBook Pro in Keynote, you'll set the Keynote size via the Inspector>Document panel to match your machine's monitor display size. In your case, select the Custom option and set it to 1440x900.
Lastly, always best to have at least one dry run, ideally on screen. Keynote has great transitions. The tutorial provides some good suggestions about how to use them effectively to keep your audiences attention.
Good luck
