New keyboard apple: keyboard shortcuts

Hello,
How to adjust the keys (F1, F2, F3...) for my professional applications (Dreamweaver, Photoshop ...)?
Thank you

1) Go to system preferences and select Keyboard & Mouse.
2) Click on the Keyboard Shortcuts button at the top.
3) Click on the + button at the bottom.
4) Select "Other" on the applications list, and choose Dreamweaver or Photoshop.
5) Type in the Menu Title for the command you want to create the shortcut for.
6) Type in your keyboard shortcut (preferably a long one, since the short ones are pretty much used by the program already),
7) Click OK, and make sure you quit Photoshop in order for the changes to take effect.
That's it! Happy shortcutting!

  • New (wired) Apple Keyboard

    I have a iMac G5 with system 10.4.10. I just bought the new (flat) Apple keyboard and installed the latest software for the keyboard, after having keyboard shortcut problems.
    Now even after installing all the latest and greatest software, I can't use my left-side command key for the command-paste function in any application; even though I can command-paste with my right-side command key. I can do other command-key functions with the left command key though (such as command-C for copying).
    Also, the desktop icons - that should only be the result of pressing the new keyboard's F3 key - randomly activate without my pressing the F3 key.
    Any troubleshooting ideas? I really LOVE this keyboard and want to keep it...I just wish it would function as reliably as my (working) one that came with my computer.

    There has been a lot of discussion about the function keys, this comes from MacFixIt:
    +Apple Aluminum keyboards (#4): More on function keys not working, potential fix+
    +We continue to report on an issue with Apple's new aluminum keyboards where the F3 and F4 keys, which should trigger Dashboard and Expose, do not normally trigger these functions unless the function (fn) key is held down while they are pressed. If you navigate to the keyboard pane of System Preferences and check the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys," the Dashboard and Expose functions are triggered by the F3 and F4 keys, but the rest of the special function keys no longer work (brightness toggling, etc.).+
    +Some users are apparently being told by Apple that the function keys do not work on any machines other than the Mid-2007 iMacs, with which the keyboards ship (they are also available for separate purchase). One reader writes:+
    +"I also encountered the new function keys not working. I contacted Apple support and I was informed that they only work with the new iMacs. "+
    +Meanwhile, we have received word of a potential fix for the non-functioning keys that involves use of one of our favorite troubleshooting tools, Pacfisit.+
    +MacFixIt reader Joe Mullins writes: "I fixed the dashboard and expose keys on my keyboard. The problem is apparently that Dock.app isn't getting updated properly. I fixed it using my original install disks, 10.4.10 combo updater, keyboard update and Pacifist."+
    +Joe's process is as follows:+
    +1. Insert Install disk for 10.4.x and open /System/Installation/Packages/Essentials.pkg/ with pacifist.+
    +2. Within Pacifist, navigate to /System/Library/Core Services. Click on Dock.app and click install. When it's uncompressed, it will ask if you would like to update or replace. Click replace.+
    +3. When that's finished, open the 10.4.10 combo update package with pacifist and navigate to the dock.app again. Click install, and this time when it asks, make sure to click update.. not replace.+
    +4. When that's finished, open the keyboard software 1.1 mpackage, click the arrow to reveal the contents of AppleKeyboardSoftware_Cmn.pkg, navigate to dock.app one more time, click install and then update once again. Not replace.+
    +5. Once this procedure is finished, you can force quit dock.app and the keys should work.+
    You should probably reapply the update after doing the above.
    Please post back with results,

  • New (iMac) Apple keyboard - don't hurry to replace it

    I've been a fan of "clicky" keyboards since my first computer, an IBM PS/2 from a long time ago in a galaxy far away. When Matias sold the first "Tactile Pro" keyboard ( http://matias.ca/tactilepro/index.php ), I quickly purchased one for my old iMac; I still use it to this day and love it. So Matias rolled out Version 2.0 ( http://matias.ca/tactilepro2/index.php ) - in colors matching the new iMac, no less - I ordered one the same day I ordered my new iMac.
    After using the included new Apple keyboard for a week, I finally received my new Tactile Pro. And I must say, I'm disappointed.
    The not-so-obvious problem is the advertised USB 2.0 "hub" which isn't really a hub at all. Matias cheated: the keyboard has two USB cables, the second of which just relocates an existing port from the iMac to the keyboard. Worse, this one (one?!?) port is on the right-side of the keyboard and facing right, where it is typically blocked by mouse placement and thus unusable. What a waste of scarce USB ports.
    The above would be less of a problem if the second cable were removable, which it is not, leaving its connector dangling uncleanly off the back of the computer. And that cable is one of two ways in which version 2.0 of this keyboard falls short of version 1.0. The cable is too stiff, too short, and too inconveniently placed. Out of the left side only? Not redirectable like on 1.0 or most any other keyboard? And coming out of the keyboard sideways, instead of forwards? Ugh.
    But the greatest shortfall of the new Tactile Pro versus its predecessor is the quality of its keys. Matias has clearly cut some corners on the key-switches: they are much softer and thus provide less tactile feedback. Even worse, the keycaps are rather loosely attached to the switches.
    I'm not asking for a refund, as this keyboard is marginally better in its tactile feedback and styling than Apple's new aluminum keyboard. However, the Apple keyboard costs $100 less, uses a more convenient cable (cable_, singular, not cables, plural), and provides 2 USB 2.0 ports, one out each side. I was also planning to replace the Tactile Pro 1.0 on my old iMac with the 2.0 - not any more.
    (Alternatively, try to find the original Tactile Pro on close-out or places like eBay.)
    That's my opinion & experience - YMMV.

    Probably not - but that certainly does not involve iPhoto for the Mac - you need to look at Crashplan support for you options 
    And iCloud is not a place to store photos so that is certainly not a possibility
    If you restore your masters folder out of the iPhoto library you will have all of your original photos to do with what you please

  • Can't Safe Boot or Single User Boot with the new (wired) Apple Keyboard

    I have found that my shiny new Apple keyboard does not recognize the shift key or command-s when booting, making it impossible to boot into either safe mode or single user mode.

    I'm having the same issues here.
    Read on Macfixit about incompatibilities with the Core Duo machines (I'm running a 1.66ghz Core Duo MacMini, 10.4.10) and can't startup using safe mode or single-user. Not sure if this has been addressed yet?

  • Opening internal disk drive on emac with new (non apple) keyboard

    OKAY, I had to get a new keyboard, I can't stand the little apple keyboards!!! they are so laborious for your fingers! i got a great logitech wireless keyboard and the only thing im missing is the disk drive open button on the apple keyboard. of course, you can open the drive through itunes, but is there not a way to open the drive up without opening itunes?? does anyone else feel the same way about apple keyboards?? THANKS!

    Hilary, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Your CD/DVD drive is called a disc drive. Your hard drive is called a disk drive.
    You can open the disc drive on Restart/Startup while holding down the mouse button.
    Another method.
    Enabling an *Eject Menu* - you can enable another means of ejecting discs by opening the folder System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras and double-clicking the file "Eject.menu". An eject icon will appear in the menubar that can be used to close and open selected optical drives.
     Cheers, Tom

  • New wirted apple keyboard

    hello,
    i bought the new apple keybaord (the alu slim and wired keyboard).
    the problem ist, the fn-key doesn't work. the fn key givs no keycode (tested with xev) and FN+F1-F12 key wors not.
    i don't know why. i have also the big alu apple keyboard, with the fn-key on the delete-key. and their the fn key works, why not on the slim?
    has somebody an idea?
    lg
    papierschiff

    If yours is like mine (I have a wireless Apple keyboard) then you'll probably have the same Fn keys behaviour. Apple has set the keys to perform like multimedia keys by default (!).
    So your actual F1-F12 output will only be generated by using Fn+Fx keys . It takes some to get used to (I think it can be convenient, unless you use lots of key combinations with regular Fx keys).
    If you want the regular behaviour, you need to load the driver with a special parameter:
    options hid_apple fnmode=2
    Put that in /etc/modprobe.conf, reload the driver, and it should work fine.

  • New silver apple keyboard: how to desactivate some shorcuts

    I need to desactivate the new F9 F10 shorcuts that come with the new apple keyboard to use these shorcuts with final cut pro. But they are not listed in the preferences/shorcut list...
    How could I desactivate these new shorcuts?

    Both Tiger and Leopard have a checkbox in the keyboard area of the System Preferences "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys"
    This disables all the special functions assigned to these keys on the new keyboards, and allows you to program them normally from the keyboard function panel. I don't know of any way to disable only F9 and F10.

  • New Slim Apple Keyboard Software loaded-but where do I access this?

    OK I loaded the 1.2 update (about 35 mb) "New Slim Keyboard" software, but not that I've rebooted, how do I actually access the features of that software? -- And function keys F17, F18 and F19 are new-- how to use them etc. etc.-- what is this software I installed actually doing that one cannot do in "Keyboard Shortcuts" in the Keyboard & Mouse Preference panel??
    Thanks for any comments here.
    Steve Sunday 16 December 2007

    Thanks for your reply! However, I don't see any change in the "Keyboard & Mouse" preference panel after having installed the "Slim Keyboard" update. I don't see any additional "options" that refer to the keyboard's additional Function keys etc. (Perhaps I need "Leopard" to use some of these?)
    Also, with this new keyboard, hitting the fn key then F4 brings up the WIDGETS, but F12 still does this-- I'm not sure of the advantage of having 2 key commands to do the same thing...
    Also: In System 7 (and maybe 8 and 9 too), F3 was copy and F4 was paste-- those were great-- can I get those back with this keyboard (instead of cmd-C and cmd-V)??
    Thanks for any additional comments here and if there is an instruction manual for the new keyboard / software-- j

  • New Non-Apple keyboard doesn't have Eject key.

    I wear out Mac keyboards fast, so I got a non-Apple Mac keyboard, but it lacks a drive-open/eject key. Is there any way to program an F-key or a combination to open the drive door?

    Hi-
    Go to System/ Library /CoreServices /Menu Extras. Inside that folder, find and double-click on the file called Eject.menu.
    Now, look in your Menu bar, and you should be the proud owner of an Eject icon, which, when clicked, ejects the optical drive (closes it too)!

  • New Slimline Apple Keyboard - what does the software do?

    I loaded the 1.2 update (about 35 mb) "New Slim Keyboard" software, but I don't really see any difference (after rebooting etc.) in the Mouse & Keyboard preferences vs. before I loaded the software -- And the function keys F17, F18 and F19 are new-- how to use them etc. etc.--
    Is the software actually adding some features or just enabling TIGER to recognize it?
    And I'm using LEOPARD on another computer to get the bugs out before moving LEOPARD to my MAIN MAC (MacBook)-- and it seems to recognize the slim keyboard just fine without that update (unless it is included in 10.5.1??)
    Any comments appreciated.

  • New Bluetooth Apple Keyboard - Bluetooth Firmware Updater fails

    Hello,
    I want to be able to use bluetooth to wake my MacBook Pro, I am told by the instructions I need to use the Firmware Updater, so I installed that off the CD provided but when I launch Bluetooth Firmware Updater and click update, I get this error:
    Missing Firmware
    This version of the updater is missing the firmware file. Cannot proceed.
    Can anybody help me with this? I'm not sure how to proceed from here.

    Hello,
    I have checked the settings and they are correct but it is still not waking up properly - watching the light on the front it does look like it is trying, as it stops pulsating and goes solid but it doesn't wake up, I don't get anything displaying on the external monitor nor can I use the remote to start playing iTunes.
    I wonder if this is a different problem, not just the keyboard failing to wake it up?

  • New apple keyboard Fn keys don't work

    Hi,
    Posting this in PowerMac G5 and OSX Tiger as I am not sure if it is a hardware or software issue.
    I just recently bought a new aluminium apple keyboard and am very very happy. EXCEPT:
    When I first plugged it in, all the hotkeys/fn keys (the default ones such as play/pause/skip track/volume/brightness) all worked fine... but I had 3rd party SizzlingKeys installed... that sprang into life, and suddenly all the Apple default key functions stopped working.
    I uninstalled Sizzling keys, trashed all relevent files, restarted... nothing.
    Tried to reset them via SystemPreferences... didn't work.
    How can I make these come back to life?
    Thanks

    I've used SizzlingKeys in the past. It was novel for a few months but conflicted with keyboard commands I was used to in other applications. The iTunes library on that computer is no longer used. However, I see that SizzlingKeys 1.7.2 is still installed. Preferences depict only two SizzlingKey options enabled: Play/Pause and Almost Mute. The rest have their checkboxes clicked off. Here, at least, there is no conflict with the Apple keyboard functions on that G4 computer running Panther.
    It seems awfully odd that a removed application could still be causing a conflict. If SizzlingKeys is the culprit and nothing else worked, I (perhaps not you) would be inclined to reinstall it. Whatever iTunes actions are mapped to F1 through F4 and F7 though F12 can be disabled or changed within the SizzlingKeys Preference Pane. There is even an option to disable SizzlingKeys altogether. Should you then decide to remove it again, do so after disabling everything in the Preference Pane. Between this and the Keyboard Shortcuts button labeled "Restore Defaults" (Keyboard & Mouse Preference) the problem should be resolved.
    (FYI: If you were using a notebook computer, there would be another option to toggle that requires the extra Fn key to the right of the Control key to be pressed for access to special Apple functions. But since you posted this in the G5 forum, this apparently doesn't apply.)

  • Lots of issues since installing a new apple keyboard

    Since I purchased a new a apple keyboard (the new wired flat ones) I have had nothing but issues with any USB devices plugged in.
    Specifically my Belkin hub which prior was perfect now has all sorts of issues.
    Trying to import images on a card reader often results in the 'device being removed' even though it was not.
    The 'ALT" key does not work on start up to choose which operating system to boot into
    When launching windows it will often not launch until the keyboard is removed.
    Other random funky behavior such as the mouse doing its own left clicks many times over and over
    Sometimes when starting up clicking an application in the dock just opens its location in a finder window.
    All this started when putting this keyboard on, and all stops when I take it out and go back to my apple wireless one.
    Do I have a duff one, or does anyone experience this?

    First contact your ISP.  You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.
    Change your router channel.  Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
    Power cycling the router.  Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.

  • How to Use Home+End Key on new short usb apple keyboard on XP

    How to Use Home+End Key on new short usb apple keyboard on XP
    now i use macbook and new short apple keyboard.
    it hasn't Home and End key. i try to use Fn + -> , Fn + <-
    it cann't do that. How can i set the Fn + <- be Home key
    and Fn + -> be End key like on my macbook keyboard
    thank you for answer

    Easy, no need to be harsh. I might not be a Level 9  Discussions user, but I’ve been an Apple Technician for more than a decade now. So believe me, I know what I’m talking about. Be it OS X Server or emptying the Trash. But even I come here from time to time to learn from others. Well, back to topic and being a little more specific:
    The 'My Info' setting always belongs to the first iCloud account you add to an iOS device. In this account you create at least 1 contact, the one you will be using for 'My Info'. You then do the same on your other iOS device using NOT the same iCloud account, of course. You only need to enable contacts syncing in iCloud preferences for these primary accounts. From here on you can use differing 'My Info' on your 2 iOS devices without a problem.
    But you may know that you can use more than one iCloud account at a time. Only the primary one will offer all iCloud options like Photostream. But what they all offer is contacts, calendars, etc. So if you intend (and I did) to share these 2 between your devices you can add them using a second iCloud account to both of your iOS devices. This makes it 3 accounts all in all. You could even go further and add another one just for 'Find my iPhone' if you like.
    I would’ve used the built-in sharing of Calendar.app instead, but Contacts.app does not (yet) offer sharing contacts with others. That’s why I went with the third iCloud account as a secondary account to both iOS devices.
    Apple of course recommends using just one Apple ID for everything to make it easier. But in some scenarios this just won’t cut it, which is even described in one of their support documents.
    I hope that now you have an idea what I’ve done…
    Good night
    Björn
    PS: It would be nice if people did not insist on being right. They too can sometimes learn something!
