Hi,
     Your migration to Lion brought over a previous hot key preferences document. And this contains one bad key that wasn't updated.
- Quit System Preferences (if open)
- Delete this document to remove a carry-over mapping error.
- Then logout
Note: That this will delete any existing modified keyboard assignments. Re-assign changes manually.
Note2: This document is in your users preferences folder.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist

  • Non-apple keyboard and aperture recovery does not work

    Hello all, I use a mac mini with a non-apple keyboard and I am trying to recover my Aperture database, however, although the alt and command key work in all applications, the combination does not start up Aperture in recovery mode. Anyone any ideas? Thanks.

  • Brand new macbook --- DELETE KEY DOES NOT WORK --- how to fix?

    I have a brand new MacBook and the delete key does not work. Is there a way to fix this?

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to launch firefox 3.6.3 with windows vista? Hot key (ctrl + alt + key) does not work.

    The hot key (ctrl + alt + key) does not work. This is in Windows Vista.

    Thank you Morbus and Cor-el, for your prompt replies. Here's what I did: I've placed the Firefox icon in the quick launch toolbar. So I right-click this firefox icon>Properties>Shortcut tab>in Shortcut Key field, add X (the word "None" changes to "ctrl + alt + X")>Apply>Okay>and that closes the dialog window.
    Then, to try the new launch short-cut, I press and hold down, in order, ctrl, then alt, then x (holding all three down) . . . and nothing launches.
    I thought this would do it! So any further thoughts would be a splendid help ---- many thanx!

  • Tab key does not work

    This is very strange, please read.
    My tab key does not work. It will not move from one text field to another.
    I have checked my keyboard settings. "Full keyboard access:" is at the default "Text boxes and lists only".
    I have deleted this user and recreated the user, and with the completely new user the tab key does not work. Other users on the machine it DOES work.
    This is happening now on 3 of our 5 machines.
    Lastly, when I turn on the keyboard viewer (International/Input Menu/Keyboard viewer: it shows you what key the system thinks you are pressing when you press a key on the keyboard), it shows that when I press the tab key, the Command key is being held down instead. It's not showing that the tab key is being pressed.
    Has anyone seen this previously? Again, it's happening on 3 of our 5 machines (some users the tab key works, some users it doesn't). These are fresh user creations (no special software installed, no prefs changed, etc...)
    Thank you for any info!!!

    "Repair Disk Permissions" from Disk Utility may help.
    Also, cmd-opt-n-v (Clear NV RAM) may help as well.

  • MacBook Pro up arrow key does not work how to fix it?

    When I am just working on the computer the up arrow key does not work at all but when I use bootcamp to go to the PC side the arrow works so i know its not a phisical problem, i have tryed everything i know and still no success.

    Hello brooklinekilla,
    I would be concerned too the up arrow key on my keyboard was not working.  I found an article that can assist with further isolating and troubleshooting issues with the built in keyboard.  I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "Some keys don't work as expected" in the following article:
    One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

  • Always Script Editor ... Alt Gr key does not work

    Hi,
    With IE6 in SQL Script Editor
    Alt Gr Key does not work.
    For instance, I cannot type ||
    In fact it's a copy-paste from SQL command (which works well)
    Note Script Editor does not work with Firefox.
    Thank you for any information
    Regards
    JRD120

    You might try this:
    Remove any USB device except mouse/keyboard
    Perform a PRAM-reset (hold ALT-CMD-P-R until you've heard the starting chime 3 times)

  • Clear Key does not work in DW (OSX)

    In Dreamweaver, when you select a local file and hit the
    Delete key (back delete located in between forward slash and the
    end key), nothing happens. In the contextual menu, there is a Clear
    key symbol but nothing happens.
    Does anyone why the Clear key does not work?
    I'm using OS X 10.6. But I could remember this happening in
    earlier OS.
    Thanks

    Really? Something is wrong there. I sure can....

  • My key does not work/Invalid Registration

    I have been trying for days to unlock Quick Time(QT) Pro, but my registration key does not work!!! I've done all possible requirements, I have copied and pasted my user name and the key code (so those are correct), I do the correct qualifications to run the software, I am using the QT control settings, and yes I do have QT 7.0.3. All my criterias meet to unlock QT Pro but I keep getting the message saying Invalid Registration. I've done all possible trouble shooting techniques given by Apple's tech support but I've simply have had no luck. To my understanding the key code has to be 5 sets of 4 numerical characters (20 characters long) but the one that I got from Apple is only 7 characters long. I've clicked on the link that retrieves a lost key but I get the same number. I try calling customer service but have had no luck in reaching a live operator. What do I do?

    Yea you are right, I am inputting the part number. However, I keep looking for the 20 character long key but there is nothing there in either the confirmation email or the invoice email that they sent me. I check the "Download History" on the Apple Store website but it only gives me the name QT Pro, the part number and the date that I purchased it. There is no 20 character long key given. Could they have not given me the key by accident? Like I said, event when I go to the link to retrieve my lost key, it gives me the same part number! Please help, its been more than a week and I am getting frustrated!!!

  • Caps lock key does not work...

    my caps lock key was working perfectly up until 10-15 minutes ago.
    when i press my caps lock key, the little light on the key does not turn on and all of my letters remain in lowercase.
    i thought perhaps something was stuck underneath the key, but when i took the key off - nothing was there. i placed it back on and still the caps lock key does not work.
    does anyone have any ideas as to why the problem could be and how to fix it?

    Finally found something that worked for me. See this thread and look for the post about removing the Hitoolbox plist files.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10765093&#10765093
    I removed all of them. (Had multiples) Also make sure you empty the trash afterwards.
    Then restart.
    Then I used the modifier key trick in this thread. Turned off the caps lock key. Then restart.
    Then use the modifier key trick and turn the caps lock key back on. Test to see if your lights come back on for the caps lock key.
    If so, next time you restart it should still work. Finally. This thing has been dogging me for a long time.

  • I want to disable or remove Game center from my iphone. It's always pop up during i play hay day game. So i can not solve this problem. Any way i try to log in game center my several Apple id account but it does' not work. I am still stuck in log in page

    I want to disable or remove Game center from my iphone. It's always pop up during i play hay day game. So i can not solve this problem. Any way i try to log in game center my several Apple id account but it does' not work. I am still stuck in log in page

    The Game Center app is pre installed and cannot be removed from the device.
    Best thing to do is move it to the last available screen.
    Hold down the Game Center app until all the apps jiggle then sliide the Game Center app to the right from one screen to the next. This requires a bit of finesse, but it's doable.
    Press the Home button one time to stop the apps from jiggling.
    For the Apple ID issue, try resetting.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then try your Apple ID and password for the Game Center app.

    The only thing I can come up with is that I found a blog that said that in the Trial version Photomerge does not work, however I do Not have the Trial version, I did at one time but I purchase Adobe Elements. Thank you.

    The blog was incorrect. Photomerge should work in the trial, too.
