None of the mac shortcuts on the keyboard work..help..

ok my keyboard works for all general use purposes, however those shortcut keys you are supposed to be able to use such as
COMMAND OPTION ESCAPE = DOES NOT LOAD FORCE QUIT
COMMAND OPTION SHIFT POWER = DOES NOT RESTART
CONTROL EJECT = DOES NOT RESTART
and so on..all of those normal short helpful commands dont work on my mac board..even the copy and paste shortcuts dont do anything..
i dont think there was any setting for this that i shut off..i looked and didnt see anything..but please correct me if im wrong..
at one point these commands did all work..this is why im scared my board is just bunk or maybe i set something wrong not knowing..
any advise? did i shut something off like accesing sticky keys or something else?
im hoping that im jusst stupid and missing something simple and my board isnt broken..all other keys work, eject and everything..
but its annoying i cant auto load force quit when my towe is stalling..using the mouse just stalls it longer

i tried what u said...there was an option under keyboard to restore defaults but tht didnt seem to do it..
i also see an option to ADD new commands..but when i click the + sign, a box opens
i add the command PASTE
but the next tab is to enter the command buttons wanted and i cant add anything bu numbers from the keypad which seem to not work even if i try using the numbers in this field..
under the keyboard shortcuts tab in preferences they have a list of already set commands which dont seem to work either, but none of the commands are the common copy and paste and so on..its like zoom in soom out, contrast, rotating windows, all of which the assigned commands dont seem to do anything..
there is an option to turn ON ACCESS TO ALL KEYBOARD COMMANDS which i have set to on..but nada..
i feel like its something im missing in a setting, not that the board is bunk..
but i cant say for sure

Mac pro put in new ram now none of the ram works

mac pro put in new ram now none of the ram works
it just hangs on restart
the ram worked great for 12 hours then the computer restarted on its own
since then it hangs on restart and never gets to the desktop

It may not have anything to do with the RAM, or it might.
Not enough to go by to say for certain, and the blunt "get new RAM" doesn't address how to troubleshoot or resolve most likely.
Was it installed properly?
How much did you install?
Make? vendor.
Try running with just the new RAM.
Run Apple Hardware Test - boot 'd' key on startup, you may need your OEM Install DVD.
Run Rember and/or Memtest utility to test memory, or TechTool Deluxe.
When a computer restarts on its own it often means there was a kernel panic or something and damage to files, directory, journal and in need of repair, booting off your DVD or another drive to repair the drive, delete some files, turn journaling off and then on.

Thanks for the quick advice!
Unfortunately, I am still unable to open my core productivity apps, namely Skype and Evernote. Twitter, as well, could not start. But interesting quick fix though, I never knew you could do that.
Here's the error log after the restart:
What else should I try?

Only half the keyboard works after sleep

I have a fall 2011 Air running Lion. It has a weird problem: sometimes (maybe 1 out of 10), after waking up from sleeping (closing the case - I haven't tried manually putting it to sleep - only the left hand portion of the keyboard works. At the login screen, all the left hand keystrokes generate their little password dots, and all the right hand keystrokes do nothing. I wondered whether there was some sort of genetic remnant from earlier macs with Num Lock keys or toggles between numbers and letters with the fn key. That's wrong, apparently, as I've tried using shift, option, fn command and a bunch of combinations to no avail. The only thing I've been able to do to recover is power it down ugly and then when I restart, things are normal again.
Remember, this happens at the login screen, so I have no menus to work with.
Anyone seen this and found a solution??? Thanks

Hi Alex H.
Thanks so much for the advice. I was near an Apple store yesterday so I stopped in and one of the employees shut down the Music app completely and this resolved the issue. I could have sworn that I had tried that before, but it's possible I hadn't.
Thanks again,
Tom

Please supply more relevant information about your problem.
There is no way to troubleshoot a problem and suggest steps to resolve with as little data as you have given.
Basically would need the complete who, when, what, where...
DId it work up until some action on your part...
Was it subject to moisture (a common cause of keyboard issues)
Was it dropped....
Have you taken it by the way to your service provider (hopefully also your source) and had them look at it...
Details, we need details...

Hi Nealeh
Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
The scenario is:- say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
"Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
So technology is not my friend today!

Iphone 5 shuts down, as if no power, none of the buttons work.

IPhone 5 shuts down, as if no power, none of the buttons work. When plug back the charger cable, the screen immediately comes on and battery shows 40% or 50% or even 80%? Also, battery drains very fast on both IPhones after recent ipdate of IOS. Please help.

Hello there, noviipareni.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great steps for troubleshooting issues with unexpected power off:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Particularly:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Additionally this article reviews some recommendations for optimizing your settings for battery life optimization:

Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps.

Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps. The Apple Mobile Device driver is loaded and operating. The anti-virus software and firewall are not at fault (were uninstalled, and made no difference). The iTunes on my older machine running Vista does recognize the inoperative iPod (iTunes has detetced an iPod in recovery mode) and allows me to restore the device. Can anyone help to resolve this problem on the Windows 7 PC?

So yu tried all of this:
Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
If you had then time for an appointment at ther Genius Bar of an Apple store.

On the 2nd and 3rd page of my ipod touch, none of the apps.work. When you touch the screen, they start to "go" then return. This started today. I have reset the ipod, but this still happens. What do I do now?

Ahh, looks like I remembered correctly
To the OP:
This is directly from the KB article lllaass linked to:
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

None of the keyboard shortcuts works

A few minutes ago I posted a quesion about my inability to use Command+Q to quit an application. This might be confusing. All of the keyboard shortcuts I normally use are not working, including the commands to copy, cut and paste. The quit shortcut is only one of dozens on the fritz. j

Logging into the temp account may not fix the problem if you incur it again. Something is fundamentally wrong in your main user account that would cause the problem. When you create the new user account and log into it, you are preventing a number of third-party add ons from loading:
1. Login Items from the Accounts preferences
2. Input managers
3. Contextual Menu Items
4. Preference Panes
5. User installed fonts
6. Preference files
7. User-based cache files
8. User-based log files
Items 2-8 are all located in the /Home/Library/ folder. When you create a new user account none of these items that may contain third-party components will be included in the new account. Any one or more of these could cause the problem.
Simply creating the new account should in no way actually fix anything. Rather it's a troubleshooting technique that helps isolate possible causes of a problem. That your system is now working properly is more likely a fluke.
