Multimedia keyboard controls

Was using iTunes 7.2 for a while with no issues. The multimedia keyboard buttons (play, pause, skip forward, skip backwards) worked whenever another window was active. I upgraded to 7.5, and that is no longer the case. The only time those buttons work is when iTunes is the active window, which is useless, b/c then i normally just use my mouse. Oddly, i use the keyboard functions enough to where this is REALLY getting on my nerves. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

on a side note, i don't think apple's website should flag iTunes as being a typo.

i have the same issue. i run itunes in the background while gaming so i can't really tab out to switch stuff easily. i went to update my drivers but the button was greyed out which leads me to believe that it doesn't need updating. any other thoughts on this one? computer's new since the last version of itunes came out.

Satellite Pro A100 - Resume from Sleep with IR multimedia remote control or keyboard

Hi Guys
I have dedicated my Satellite Pro A100 to be a media center that sits under the TV and can play networked media and DVD's etc.
This is using Vista.
The set up I want is that the lid is shut 24/7 365 and when I want to use it I just press "SLEEP" or power button from the remote control or keyboard and it fires up ready for action.
POINT TO NOTE. I successfully did this with my OLD Tecra M3. However was too slow for media center and vista
However I have set the power settings as I want etc, shut lid do nothing, and enabled hybrid sleep (preferred sleep).
Now I CAN put it to sleep with the multimedia keyboard or remote control. BUT can I wake it?...NO!. I have thought of everything possible....gone to device manager and made sure all the options for the remote and the keyboard and the USB reciever are set to WAKE FROM SLEEP. The only thing to wake it is the power button - which defeats the purpose of it being sat there like a dvd player.
when awake the remote and the keyboard function fine - I have made sure the batteries are recharged.
I have the latest BIOS and speaking of BIOS's there are no S3 power options I noticed , but then there werent on the M3 and that worked fine in terms of sleep and waking with the IR.
I come to the forum because although I know some older systems will not work with vista - IF the M3 will work - I am sure the twice as new and powerful A100 will.
Has anyone had this before - what have I missed it must be staring me in the face.
Thanks in advance.
P.S Also of late the touch pad has been playing up i.e the left and right clickers swap function so one second your working as normal next minute you left click and the right clikc menu appears. Reset BIOS - rebuilt - reinstalled synaptic - no difference.
When I worked in support for a big company when this started happening it wasnt good news - is it bad news?

Hi
Im not quite sure why it doesnt on your Sat Pro A100 and why it works on M3.
But fact is that Satellite Pro A100 doesnt support the FIR (Fast InfraRed) port and the
Tecra M3 supports the Fast InfraRed port.
Maybe this could be the reason why you cannot enable the notebook using the infrared multimedia remote control.

Keyboard Control FAIL: Using TAB key on websites directs cursor to nowhere!!! Why?

(using 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 MAC MINI, OS X Lion 10.7.5)
I have always felt safer using the keyboard rather than mouse-clicking on search fields etc. (Open Firefox, hit command+L to the URL I want to go to, then hop to next field with TAB key).
Most notably frustrating example is with using Google, this has not worked right for some time. Say that you to start to search for something on google "main page" and then it goes to the search results page... You go to edit your search or type your next search and the cursor is flashing inside (but off center) of the search field and inputting text is not an option. Also you may instictively hit ESC (while in search field) when you are being given suggestions you don't want, and then the cursor moves again to this no-man's land in between fields.
The other KEYBOARD control issue that I have found is this:
Sometimes you cannot Close Window or even Quit Firefox with the usual keyboard shortcut. Usually when a few windows or tabs are open, or when there is some pop-up survey etc. on page. You can usually ALT+TAB to another open program and then back, and then you can close window or application. But that seems really sketchy to me! This happens all the time on major websites. You can go File-> Close Window or File->Quit, but when you use the same keyboard command the file menu just flashes with an "error tone."

The TAB key thing was the same in safe mode. Actually I should add/correct, regarding that google search example: when the cursor is in "inbetween fields" positions, actually it lets you type at the END of the text that you had typed in the field (even though the cursor is blinking before the text). and if you "Command A" to replace the text in the search field while cursor in this position, it instead selects all the rest of the text OUTSIDE the field. Just doesn't make any sense. I think this happens with fields on Facebook as well.
That first issue is just very annoying because it comes up every day and I never get used to it. I would be actually be curious to hear from someone whom this DOES NOT happen to.
The 2nd issue I mentioned occurs more randomly, and seems more definately a Firefox issue. (When you can only close a window or quit from the drop down menu with the mouse, Command W and Command Q just give an error beep)

How Stop Pop-Up Window: Allow Fullscreen With Keyboard Controls?

How can I cause the cessation of the pop-up window that asks me, "Allow fullscreen with keyboard controls?"
In the last month or two (January- February of 2013), this black, semi-transparent pop-up has appeared every time I go to full screen in the game Battle Pirates on facebook.
After numerous iterations, this confirmation request has become completely unneccessary and nothing more than an unwelcome annoyance.

Tom,
Moderators have the authority and privilege to mark answers as correct, in addition to the original posters. ANY moderator here could have marked it that way.
The Bug report/Feature Request link is not a "vote" page per say, but a place to submit a request for a feature you'd like to see added or dropped from Flash Player. It's the best way to voice a concern or "wish" for a feature, since the development team reads the reports/requests. Management who'd make the decision to add or remove something won't read about it here. They WILL hear about it from development.

Where to buy multimedia remote control for Satellite A100-200 in UK?

Hello,
I recently bought a refurbished Toshiba A100-200 notebook from John Lewis, which, due to being refurbished, did not come with the multimedia remote control and so, at the moment, there is a huge hole on the left-hand side where it should be.
Where can I buy a new one from and how much would it cost?
Many thanks,
Ian

Hi
> did not come with the multimedia remote control and so, at the moment, there is a huge hole on the left-hand side where it should be
At the left notebooks side the Express Card slot should be placed!!!
Express card slot is upper and PC card slot is lower!!!
The remote controller can be installed in PC card slot!!! Don't mix these both slots!
But only some models are optional provided with the remote control.
If you want try to order it from the ASP as suggested above
Please note that the remote control cannot be used if the notebook is running on battery only!!!
It must be connected to AC adaptor!

How to add a custom multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played?

How to add a custom skin in multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played? As it is being played...
I need a time line so any part of the what is being played can be found by time, ie at 1 minute and 30 seconds in and continues for 45 seconds out of a 50 minute audo.

If you're talking about a playback controller within the rich media annotation (RMA) then you need to write your own widget in Flash or Flex, and then place the video and widget files using the multimedia "Add Flash" tool in Acrobat instead of the "Add Video" tool. Aside from a bunch of proprietary code to handle events, commenting and the API (which you can live without for basic play-pause-scrub applications), video RMAs are just an embedded SWF file containing an FLVPlayback component. The skin and the video file itself are added to the RMA as resource entries. You can build your own version and have it display whatever controls you want, provided you know how to write ActionScript!
If you're talking about a controller that's external to the RMA (e.g. a series of links or buttons elsewhere on the page) then in the past you would use FLV video files and the 'cue points' feature that's built into Acrobat - however Adobe removed the ability to create FLV files in the latest version of CC, so unless you have CS6 or earlier it's a non-starter. Instead you can manually set playback start points using the special "multimedia operations" link action in your PDF - though stopping playback at a defined point is very difficult without FLV cues. For that you're back to writing your own widget.

How to add keyboard control on our tree.

hi,
any body can kindly tell me that how can we add keyboard control on out tree widget.
I am also anxious to know that when I compiled and loaded the PnlTreeView sample in Debug mode, keyboard control on this panel was also not working fine, it worked sometime and not on the other.
Can anybody help me for the above 2 questions.

There's no calendar control per-se, but you have an option - create an HTML image-map prompt - that should work....the only problem would be making it dynamic, but I'm sure you can create a big image map

Implementing keyboard control on a window

Hi, I'm currently trying to implement keyboard control for a tetris game I'm attempting to make, but I've done it a rather dodgy way. I've implemented it on a Jpanel instead.
What I want to do is, implement the keyboard control on the window, however I've been unable to do so. I'm new to java (this is quite an ambitious project - but I'm trying to learn) so any help would be really appreciated.
This is the code for constructing the window with the Panels:
please note: I have omitted the import statements.
public class MainWindow extends JFrame
    public MainWindow()
        setTitle("Tetris!");
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        Container contentPane;
        contentPane = this.getContentPane();
        contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        Game game;
        game = new Game(10, 20);
        GameView gameView = new GameView(game);
        contentPane.add(gameView, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        InfoPanel infoPanel = new InfoPanel(game);
        contentPane.add(infoPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
        KeyboardControl keyboardControl = new KeyboardControl(game);
        contentPane.add(keyboardControl, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        this.pack();
        game.start();
}This is the code for the keyboard control:
public class KeyboardControl extends JPanel implements KeyListener
    private Game game;
    public KeyboardControl(Game game)
        this.game = game;
        setLayout(new GridLayout(0,-1));
        setFocusable(true);
        addKeyListener(this);
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event)
           int key = event.getKeyCode();
            if (key == event.VK_LEFT)
                // Move the block left
                game.moveLeft();
                else if (key == event.VK_RIGHT)
                    // Move the block right
                    game.moveRight();
                    else if (key == event.VK_UP)
                        // Rotate the block
                        game.rotate();
                        else if (key == event.VK_DOWN)
                            // Drop the block
                            game.drop();
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent event)
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent event)
}Can anyone provide any hints and sites to look at? I've been through the java tutorials, and the above is what I have achieved.

Your implementation of the keyboard control (or listener) looks correct.
To change it to listen to keyword on the window, would require only a
small change.. See below code.
public class MainWindow extends JFrame implements KeyListener
    public MainWindow()
        setTitle("Tetris!");
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        Container contentPane;
        contentPane = this.getContentPane();
        contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        Game game;
        game = new Game(10, 20);
        GameView gameView = new GameView(game);
        contentPane.add(gameView, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        InfoPanel infoPanel = new InfoPanel(game);
        contentPane.add(infoPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
       addKeyListener(this);
        //KeyboardControl keyboardControl = new KeyboardControl(game);
        //contentPane.add(keyboardControl, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        this.pack();
        game.start();
   public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event)
           int key = event.getKeyCode();
            if (key == event.VK_LEFT)
                // Move the block left
                game.moveLeft();
                else if (key == event.VK_RIGHT)
                    // Move the block right
                    game.moveRight();
                    else if (key == event.VK_UP)
                        // Rotate the block
                        game.rotate();
                        else if (key == event.VK_DOWN)
                            // Drop the block
                            game.drop();
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent event)
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent event)
}

Front Row - Did the 10.6.3 update break keyboard control?!

So, I came across an odd problem today when helping a friend get her data moved from an old iBook G4 onto a new MacBook Pro 2.66GHz. I walked her through setting up the Migration Assistant while on the phone and drove over to help her install some new software. When I got there, she said she was exploring some of the new apps and Front Row looked like it had frozen on her. It wouldn't respond to the arrow keys, Return, or even Command-Escape. Force-quitting via Command-Opt-Esc worked though. I opened Front Row again, and the same thing happened. For kicks, I grabbed my Apple Remote from my backpack and tried it... it seemed to have control just fine, but the keyboard still didn't. Baffled, I told her I'd look into it more later.
When I got home, I tried it on my MBP 2.53GHz and... low and behold... keyboard control wouldn't work on my machine either! I find this very strange because less than a month ago under 10.6.2 (I held out on 10.6.3 for quite a while... was just lazy, I admit) I KNOW I had full control without needing any Apple Remote to do it! I used it for photo slideshows, movies, and quicktime trailers with NO PROBLEM at all. Now, suddenly, under 10.6.3, I can't use Front Row without an Apple Remote?! What gives??
Am I being stupid or blind to some simple setting somewhere, or did Front Row seriously take a change for the worse and disable keyboard control?? If anyone else can chime in here, it would be most appreciated, particularly if you know of a way to help me regain control like I had before without needing an Apple Remote. (For a computer that sits less than two feet away from me, this is a real annoyance!) Thanks for the help!

I have tried that now, but still the same and now my wi-fi printer has stopped working - it is in the print and scan folder and showing as idle but when I send something to print it appears in the folder but does not print. This too was working fine before the update.
I am afraid as a newbie Mac person all this is just far too much for me. After spending £1500 on a machine only 4 days ago, over £50 on books from Amazon to make sure I learn about the Snow Leopard OS X platform, I do not expect to have these issues from just a simple update. When I wanted to turn back the system to 10.6.2 Apple Care told me I have to re-load the iMac operating system to put it back into its original state - on a pc you would just have to do system restore and the whole thing would have been corrected in 5 minutes whilst I waited for all the apparent issues to be resolved relating to the current update.
I have packed it and today it is going back to the shop - sorry I really tried but this experience is just too much for me - but thanks for all your help.

ITunes Not Working with Multimedia Keyboard... help?

I recently installed a new keyboard and mouse software, where the keyboard is a multimedia keyboard. Since that, I've been unable to get any SOUND from anything playing in iTunes, whereas the sound for my computer and any other audio/video programs works fine.
I've tried fooling around with the multimedia buttons on the keyboard, but nothing helps this..
Can someone help me? I want to get back to using my iTunes!

Anyone know anything? If it's any help, I'm using the 20GB iPod that I bought under a year ago.

Logitech Multimedia Keyboard (key not working)

I got a new Logitech Multimedia Keyboard and using xbindkeys I got almost all the keys mapped.
There is one key, however, (the Messenger key) that does not seem to be recognized at all.
It does not show when I use "xbindkeys -k", nor when I use "xev" and there is no "action" whatsoever when I press this key. Yet, being the key there I should be able to map it.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how could I find out and/or map this key?
In all honesty, it is not just about the key ... I can just as well use key-combinations and get Gaim going, but I want to know why it is "invisible". I other words, I want to understand the problem.
Thanks in advance.
R

Copied from gentoo-wiki (and edited for Arch):
If pressing a key doesn't do anything at all (ie, xev produeces no output), run the following command in an X terminal:
dmesg
You will probably see some lines like these:
Code: Output of dmesg
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x96 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e016 <keycode>' to make it known.
This means that the kernel doesn't have keycodes mapped to your keyboard's scancodes. You will have to add one line in /etc/rc.local for each missing key as follows:
File: /etc/rc.local
setkeycodes e008 136
setkeycodes e016 150
... And so on ...
Where the first number (e008) is what you see in dmesg, and the second number (136) is an unused keycode in your kernel. In general you can find a good keycode by taking the last 2 digits of this first number, converting it from hex (base-16) to decimal (base-10) and adding 128.
This will set up the proper scancode - keycode mapping every boot. To set them up without rebooting, run the following as root:
sh /etc/rc.local
After you have the proper mappings setup, restart X and try running xev again, to ensure that a keycode is displayed for each multimedia key you want to use.

Active content vs popups vs keyboard control

Hi Forum
I am using Dreamweaver 8 to build a web site to display some
interactive art work I made in Flash 8. I used Fireworks 8 to build
a navBar with popups and got that working OK with Dreamweaver, but
the popups would not show in front of my Flash art work (Active
Content). I found the fix for that in this forum's archives -- add
the wmode parameter with a value of opaque for the Flash artwork in
the XHTML, and set the z-index of the Flash Artwork below the
z-index of the navBar in the stylesheet. This worked and I thought
I was home free.
Then I tried to add a page of my Flash artwork that uses the
keyboard arrow keys. If wmode/opaque is present, the scroll bar
intercepts the arrow keys in IE 6 and IE 7. In Firefox, no keyboard
commands work at all. If I take out the wmode/opaque thing, the
keyboard controls work fine in IE 6, 7 and Firefox 2, but the popup
menu cannot be seen.
Is there a way to make everything work? If I went to a
commercial product like Project 7, would that solve all 3 problems?
Thanks.
Mote

No, it wouldn't. Redesign the page so the menu doesn't
overlap the flash.

Keyboard control in Captivate 8?

Hello, I am new to Captivate. If I have two buttons labeled "Next" and "Back" and have actions assigned to each, Next would be "Go to the next slide" and Back would be "Go to the previous slide" with "Enter" assigned for keyboard control it kind of sort of works (sometimes):
1. Sometimes you will be clicking "Next" and it just mysteriously goes BACK a frame
2. Sometimes you will be clicking "Back" and it just mysteriously goes to the NEXT frame
3. To top it all off, you don't even seem to have to tab to the buttons for the Enter key to be active (which is not right)
Am I doing something wrong or is there something I'm setting/not setting to make this work properly? I have enable accessibility checked in the publishing settings but I'm not exactly sure what that does (maybe make the text on the screen available to a screen reader?).
If Captivate is not keyboard accessible it is NOT accessible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks.

Hi there
What is your project type? Responsive? If so, that's why animation is disabled. Animations are usually built in Flash and Responsive output doesn't "do" Flash.

Question about keyboard control in Flash presentation

I created a presentation in Flash. And I embedded the following keyboard control scripts so that I can pause the slide by pressing "Spacebar" and play it again by pressing "Enter".
keyListener = new Object();
var isStopped : Boolean = false;
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {
    var keyCode = Key.getCode();
    if (keyCode == 13) {
       _root.play();
if (keyCode == 32) {
       _root.stop();
Key.addListener(keyListener);
I also embedded getTimer script to delay the speed of the flow so that key-point can be loaded one by one.
stop();
t = getTimer();
onEnterFrame = function(){
    if(getTimer()>= t+3000){
        play();
        onEnterFrame = undefined;
Other than the above keyboard control, I also add four buttons at the right bottom so that I can play and pause, fast forward and rewind by clicking those four buttons.
Problems:
1. the 1st and 2nd slide cannot be paused by the above keyboard control command.
2. the play and pause buttons at the right bottom is not functional in the 1st and 2nd slide
(i attached the fla for easier understanding of the above descriptions. appreciated if you can help me to figure out what goes wrong.
http://www.beyondmusic.net/AdBanner/rm_dummy.zip

remove all your code except your key listener code:
keyListener = new Object();
var isStopped : Boolean = false;
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {
    var keyCode = Key.getCode();
    if (keyCode == 13) {
       _root.play();
if (keyCode == 32) {
       _root.stop();
Key.addListener(keyListener)
then change your frame rate so your slides display at the rate you want.
