Maverick 10.9 download.  Command key makes the current page hide and return.  How can I stop this?

Hello,
The Maverick update on my 2009 Mac caused the command key to cause the current page to hide.  It sometimes stays in the side but mostly, after a delay, will return to the screen with the action completed.  Such commands as Print, Copy, Paste, all of the Command shortcuts do this.
It is impossible to focus on the work since it disappears, delays and then returns. 
How can I change this to act like the usual commands and just make the action occur instantly on the page as it rests on the screen?
Thanks

    Under the older iOS, when you opened a blank Safari page, Bookmarks automatically opened. However, with the newer iOS, this does not happen anymore. What iPhone and version of iOS do you have?

    It is a panel that pops up and the heading on the panel is 'Universal Access', it is actually just an image of a panel, you can't access it.  I have checked keyboard shortcuts and none of them are assigned to the command key only

    . You do not need a seperate Apple ID. One one device you just need to go to Settings>Messages and add another/different Messaging email address and delete the common Apple ID address. Also see:

  • I have 2 hotmail accounts on my mail, when I send from one account I receive the reply in my other account, how can I stop this from happening?

    I have 2 hotmail accounts in my Mac Mail, when I send from one account the reply comes back to the other hotmail account, how can I stop this?

    You should be able to open both accounts.
    I believe Hotmail T&C may expect you to have only one account, but possibly multiple alliases.
    You may have problems opening two separate hotmail accounts at once in Firefox. Try using a new private browsing window for the second one. With any look that will separate them enough for you to use both at once.
    (With other account holders permission.) I sometimes open my own and another persons hotmail account by that method.

  • How to stop tabs re-opening after firefox crashes.........when it crashes and I have multiple tabs open, when re-starting firefox all of the tabs re-open too. How can I stop this?

    Firefox crashes quite often, especially when I have multi tabs open. I usually have to use CTRL ALT DEL and end the process as Firefox stops responding.
    My problem is not the crashing........it is the re-opening of the multiple tabs I had open, when normally it is one of them (not the home page) that caused the crash in the first place, so I cannot re-open firefox until I restart the pc, because every time I do it is the same story. Firefox tries to re-open all of the tabs and stops responding. I have looked in options but nowhere does it allow me to stop multiple tabs opening after a crash. If this continues, I will have to uninstall Firefox and stick to Chrome.

    Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • I just updated my phone and now my phone is acting up. Now while playing my ipod music the sound fades in and out how can i get this to stop and play whole song?

    ok so last night i finally decided to do the upgrade on my phone... well i guess BIG mistake.... now my phone is tripping.... my apps arent working right.... had to delete fb several times..... my photos wouldnt load back up....and my ipod music wouldnt upload for @ least 2 hours.... really krazy... well im frustrated cause i really wanted to listen to my music and when i was trying to do so my sound kept going in and out..... all by its self.... how in the world can i fix this problem?????? HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!! Oh and i have tried resetting my phone several times with no such luck.....
    Also side note my phone is really really slowwwwwwwww now!!
    thanx again

    But I do back up everything, as much as I am able...
    However, it seems to me I've got to shift everything back into iTunes - Again.
    if this is the norm, I would like to see - for others because now I know! - a little warning
    "Hi, We're iTunes, and you need an update. So please update, just let it be known however, then when you do - we'll delete your catalog and any playlists. Thanks for using iTunes"
    something like that, because now I've gotta re-load everything back... bolics I say bolics.

  • Every time I connect my ipod touch to itunes it changes the time to three hours ahead how can I stop this

  • When I make a pattern swatch, it moves. How can I stop this?

    I understand that pattern swatches sit relevant to where they are made on the artboard. So I thought I could create one over the spot I want to fill with it (and avoid making lots of clipping masks). However, when I create the swatch, the pattern moves, and I can't seem to get it to align.
    Have tried using the ~ key as suggested elsewhere (although on my PC this is on the # key so probably doesn't have the same effect?).
    So the pattern goes from this:
    To this:
    Each time I do it, it moves to another location. Doesn't seem to be any logic to it.
    Would appreciate anyones wise input!

    Whenever I apply the clipping mask, the shape contains no fill. Perhaps that is because it is a set of copy and a logo repeated in a line (this is a design for a lanyard). It's not that I am afraid to use it, I have tried and it doesn't work.
    So if the pattern is relevant to the 0,0 position on the co-ordinate grid, how do you work that out? When you make it, the co-ordinates are relevant to the artboard, not the grid. Maybe I'm just missing something obvious.
    Sorry if I seem stupid. Self taught etc.

  • Every time I go to a new site, I also get "How to set the home page: Firefox help. How do I stop this?

    This is a Firefox help page that I didn't request, nor do I need.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
