Option-apple-8 no longer toggles zoom in 10.4.8

Before upgrading to 10.4.8, option-apple-8 would toggle zooming on and off, and would remember the last zoom level I'd zoomed to with option-apple-minus or option-apple-equals. Now, it turns zooming on and off, but when it turns it back on, it sits at the unzoomed screen. I have to hit option-apple-equals to start zooming in again.
Can anyone else confirm this same behaviour?
Any ideas how to get this old behaviour back?

Hi, bfk. Welcome to the Discussions.
I can confirm that it is working as you describe. A bug has also been introduced with respect to how Zoom's preview rectangle works now vs. before. See my "Black rectangle appears after Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update" FAQ.
Good luck!

My Apple TV no longer lists the ITunes store, netflix and many other options. This just started happening last night. I've tried unplugging and nothing changes. Any ideas?

Just recently my Apple TV quit listing the ITunes in the option bar and no longer lists Netflix and other many other options in the other option bar. I tried to unplug the device, but nothing helps. Any ideas?

Glad to hear I am not the only one with these issues. Seems as though this is an Apple issue. I have an ATV 1st gen. Can not purchase or preview music via iTunes on my ATV. Can not listen to Internet radio on the ATV nor on iTunes on my MAC. for whatever reason videos can be previewed on my ATV but none can be purchased. I have had the purchase problem for awhile but now the Internet radio is new as of 2/26.

Apple remote no longer works?!

Hi everyone,
I recently replaced the 120 GB hard drive with a 200 GB hard drive, clean install (no disk imaging or time machine). I did it myself having seen it been done before and relatively knowledgeable about computer hardware. I grounded myself and was careful to put everything back as I saw it.
Everything went well EXCEPT *my Apple Remote no longer works*. The light in the button to open the laptop works fine and my remote works on other computers, but in System Preferences the option to pair the remote doesn't even exist anymore. I understand I probably screwed something up when I opened my laptop up, but I have a few questions first.
My first question is this: *Is there some sort of software setting/diagnostic that I can run to test the connection to the infrared receiver?*
My other question is: *Is there anything special I should know about the infrared receiver hardware? Any known issues, typical problems, or things I should check to make sure everything is connected?*
I've double-checked the connection, the receiver is DEFINITELY connected to the mini-strip (along with the button light).
Thanks,
- Keith

The Hardware Tests (boot from the install DVD and hold d) should show if the receiver isn't working.
In System Preferences/Security is "Disable remote control infrared receiver" checked by any chance, try checking/un-checking it and see if Pair lights up ? (I don't Pair, I leave it to work with any remote as I have three floating about)

Well first you locate your Caps Lock key. It is located above shift, and below tab. Now you press it, and take a deep breath. If your iPod is outside of its service, have you looked into other options like local repair shops? Sometimes they still service older products.

I no longer have zoom out in Safari (greyed out)

Since update to Safari 5.1 and Lion I no longer have zoom out. (greyed out)
Just checking to see if anyone else has the same problem.

"Perhaps you should do a little research on the Versions feature. If you do, note the Duplicate command"
Agreed theoretically. But in practise, Apple should review itself:
1. why the Help has been so useless! (There is certainly a "Save as", only after you click on the Duplicate...)
2. why there is no Change List to announce ahead or during beta about the changes and wipe outs (such as dumping the Reminders from Mail!)
Can Apple give more respects to current application users?

All of a sudden I can no longer toggle or clip angles in multiclip sequence

Hi,
I've got a project with a number of sequences, videos, angles, etc and all of a sudden I can no longer toggle between angles in the sequence timeline. It was working last night and then stopped and it's still unresponsive. Every time I click to switch an angle or cut to an angle I get the alert beep.
I am not out of disk space and haven't changed any settings as far as I am aware of.
Thanks

Not sure what the deal is...have you added any new software or upgraded/updated anything since this started?
Have you tried opening an autosave version, to see if it works there?
Trashed prefs, run disk utility?
I'm not sure I've ever heard an 'alert beep', so would wonder if the drive is failing.
Can you be a little more explicit about exactly how it 'stopped working'...were you right in the middle of working on it, or had you stepped away for a bit?
Have you tried shutting down, then rebooting after 15-20 minutes?

My Apple TV no longer sees my MacBook Pro / Itunes Library.

My Apple TV no longer sees my MacBook Pro / Itunes Library. Apple TV tells me to turn on Home Sharing on my computer, which I have.
Also:
1. All other ATV connections are working (Netflix, movie previews, etc.)
2. I have all the latest updates for ATV and Itunes
3. Home sharing is turned on for both ATV and MacBook Pro Itunes
4. I am correctly logged in to my Itunes account on both ATV, and Itunes on the MacBook Pro
5. Everything had been working perfectly for approximately one year until yesterday.
I'm not sure what to try next.
Thanks.

Thanks. I just closed Itunes, came back today to check it out and the pull down menu with "Computer" or "Apple TV" was inexplicably back again and everything now works. I had tried restarting Itunes, the modem, and router before with no luck. Anyway, it's magically working.
Thanks.

Apple TV no longer showing up in Itunes

I went to settings on Apple TV and tested the network, which was o.k. Apple TV is connected through an ethernet connection to a Linksys router. Apple TV no longer shows up in Itunes. An aside question relating to Itunes: In my movie library, to the left of the movie name, a circle sometimes appears. Some movies have no circles. Some of the circles which appear are solid blue, some are half blue/half white. What do these circles and color codes mean? thanks

How exactly did you do that

Have you tried restarting all your equipment, has anything anywhere on your set p changed.

A blue circle indicates you haven't yet watched it, a half blue circle that you have started to watch it but didn't finish it.

I recently updated my iPad to iOS 8 and still checking on the settings. When I happened to swipe on my screen fro too long, it zoomed and I can no longer see what's on it. I can not even unlock it. What shall I do?

Try double tapping with three fingers and see if that reduces the screen image. If it does, unlock the iPad and go to Settings>General>Accessibility>zoom>Off. If double tapping with three fingers doesn't work, try triple tapping the home button instead.

You're welcome.
Going back to your original post:
5) Tried running Itunes in 'safe mode', running itunes as an administrator..nothing.
Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.

My third party lightning sd card reader sold to me in the Singapore Apple shop no longer works w

My third party lightning sd card reader sold to me in the Singapore Apple shop no longer works under iOS 7

Having the same problem with one I bought with my iPad in the Regent Street Apple Store. Not sure why it wouldn't work unless the OS now needs the lightening Connector certificate to use a card now.
I am hoping there will be a fix real soon or maybe someone knows a work around?

Apple Mail no longer showing unread messages in dock

Apple Mail no longer shows unread e-mails in my dock. I recently upgraded to 10.8.4. The program is running and I have tried the various "Dock Unread Count" settings in Preferences. I have also rebuilt the library envelope index files to no avail. I have a lot of rules and over that I use to put e-mails in various folders - is it possible that the rules are interefering with the dock count even though they didn't under 10.7?

In System Preferences > Notification Center, select Mail in the left hand column, and check the box, "Badge app icon" toward the bottom on the right.

Apple Remotes no longer magnetic?

I was under the impression that the Apple Remote was magnetic so that it could be stored neatly on the side of your computer. However this is not the case with my newly purchased iMac and a friend down the road also has noted this. Are Apple Remotes no longer magnetic or should we report this as a fault?

Well maybe I'm the dumb one here.
Perhaps the magnet was in the old iMacs cases and the remote had a some magnetic material inside. I don't know I'm just guessing here. With the change to Aluminum cases perhaps they changed and just didn't let us know. I remember when I got my machine I was a little disappointed my remote wasn't magnetic because I like keeping my desk neat. The remote now sits on the pedestal stand, not at aesthetic but it works.

Holding down the option key when booting my iMac lo longer shows me my bootable external drives, the system just boots up to the main system. Also, holding down command, option,P,R no longer zaps the p-ram. the system just boots up.

Holding down the option key when booting my iMac lo longer shows me my bootable external drives, the system just boots up to the main system. Also, holding down command, option,P,R no longer zaps the p-ram. the system just boots up normally. Why do these key fonctions no longer work?

It could be your timing if on a bluetooth keyboard. I find it best to hit the keys as soon as i hear the chime, release and hit them again but this time holding them before the chime ends....like a fake pump in football.
But....you can always open up system preferences, startup disk, and select your bootable clone for booting. If it doesn't show up there, the Mac doesn't think it's bootable.
