Option Command 8

Option Command 8 is not working .I'm trying to get my floating environment window up and I can only do it from the window bar not the key stroke

Open your Keycommand editor and look for "environment" in the Spoptlight search - under global commands you'll find "open environment window" - the default KC probably got erased so just reassign it by using the learn fucntion.

I am running OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1. Option-Command-Escape now brings up Front Row. How can this be fixed?

I am running OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1. Option-Command-Escape now brings up Front Row. How can this be fixed?
Also, trying to copy portions of articles from Safari (5.1) to MS Word now results in the twirling ball. Any solutions?

Try using the other Option (Alt) key. The reason I suggest that - the real command combo for Front Row is Command-Escape; yet yours was being activated when you pressed Command-Option-Escape. That would indicate that Finder was not responding to the inclusion of Option in the key combo. The simplest explanation for that would be that the Option key you are using is not working for some reason.
One other 'simple' possibility - just to make sure (in case you are using a non-Apple keyboard), Option is the key adjacent to each Command key.

22" iMac desktop OSX 10.6.6 Snow Leopard and it won't boot. I've tried shift start, option command+P+R. It's stuck at the restart, all I see is the spinning wheel below the apple logo.

I have a 22" iMac desktop running OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard and it won't boot. I've tried shift start, option command P R. It's stuck at the restart, all I see is the spinning wheel below the apple logo. And I lost my OSX DVD is there any way to fix this? I just did a software update yesterday and have about 20GB left on my Hard drive. The last thing I did was try to install some plugin's for Pro Tools 8, but it wouldnt let me install so I restarted and now I'm screwed. Please Help!

You have to consider the possibility the hard drive may be dying. If your data isn't backed up, try one of the tools below:

Once you are sure your data is backed up, we can examine other possibilities. In the meantime call AppleCare for your original installation DVDs. You may need them.

"command-z" and "option-command-z" does nothing in Final Cut Pro 5

My iMac is new and I have Final Cut Pro 5 installed. Cannot get "command-z" to undo anything in final cut and "option-command-z" will not open an audio file in wave format. Do these functions just not work in Final Cut?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

opt-cmd-z is "trim with edit selection audio"
After checking the keyboard settings in System Prefs on my MAC I don't see a universal UNDO command in there. It seems that cmd-z is just a common keyboard shortcut used in most apps. (Although Shake doesn't like it very much...) lilrad should check the Tools menu-Keyboard Layouts-Customize, and then click on the cmd and opt icons on the digital keyboard and see what icon it shows. If it is not set, there ya go. If you don't recognize the icon, try going to a command in the side button list (to the right of thte keyboard in this window) and click on a command that does not already have a shortcut. Type the cmd-z, or opt-cmd-z, (after unlocking the keyboard at the bottom left) and it will give you a warning as to what this keystroke is already set for.
There should not be any MAC override, but if there is that would be in the system settings window under keyboard and mouse, keyboard shortcuts. Scroll down and see if someone has set a master cmd-z shortcut. If so, get rid of it. It should be an undo command for all apps. (But that's just me, I could be wrong...)

Option/command does not open a new window from bookmarks

I have an occasional problem: how come sometimes a bookmarked link in Safari does not open in a new window when I click option/command. or even shift/option/command. I have had and still have this issue over the last few iterations of OS X and Safari. Does not do it for all bookmarks just a few.

OK. A couple of other things to try in that case.
It may just be a corrupt preference file causing the issue, so quit Safari, trash this file and then restart Safari:
Hard drive > Users > Your Username > Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
If that makes no difference, does it behave correctly when used from another user account on the same machine? If you don't have another account then use System Preferences > Accounts > \[+\] to create a temporary one for testing.

I have rebooted my computer over 20X and performed the soft reset and the option command p.r. my iMac still gives me the gray screen with the file and question mark.

I have been having issues with starting up my computer for the last 5 weeks it started with a loud clicking sound when starting up and it use to only take turning the computer off and on a few times to get it running. This week it has taken almost a day of me turning off the computer and turning it back on. Last night I did the soft reset and it did come on. I did not shut down the computer and when I returned to it this evening I had to force it to shut down because it was stuck.I have did the soft reset and sad to say it did not work.I decided to try the option command and pr to reset it it did not work do any one have any other suggestions?

You can get a decent new hard drive for $100, plus labor to install it if you're not comfortable doing it on your own. In contrast, a new computer will cost quite a bit more than that. Of course, if that iMac is very old at this point - like, say 6 or 7 years old - the new drive may be worth more than the computer, and you could use this as an excuse to buy a new one!

What keys can duplicate the "option", "command", and "escape" keys

Am having to use an
ONN external keyboard and would like to know what keys can duplicate the "Option", "Command" and "Escape" functions.... Thank you

krisserz,
Actually, yes, a lot of things are similar on MACs, but for example, on this page: http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html it says to find the folder Adobe Illustrator [X] Settings and there is none on my computer.
The Move the folder hint says:
Up to version 10, the name of the folder is Adobe Illustrator [X],
From version CS on, the name of the folder is Adobe Illustrator [X] Settings.
[X] is the version number; up to 10, it is just a number, and above that the Creative Suite version number, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4, and so on, is used (the corresponding standalone versions still have simple numbers, CS is called 11, CS2 is called 12, CS3 is called 13, and CS4 is called 14, but the version numbers with CS are used in the folder name).
So in your case it would be Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings.
It may be worth going through all the Other options and try whichever may be relevant (Entorurage is mentioned under 7, along with quite a few others).
One of the less nice options is to reinstall, in which case the Clean Script should be used. http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html

HT2307 How can you shut off the option command click shortcut that minimizes all windows?

I can't find a place to turn off the option click shortcut that minimizes the last window and option command click that minimizes all of the other windows. Is there a way to do this? They don't show up (or I can't find them) in the Dock Preferences or the Keyboard Shortcuts.

I use Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign and that's the zoom shortcut keys with space. If I use another program on my second monitor and go back to that and want to zoom in it minimizes everything else.
Why reply if you don't know?

When Firefox is open the zoom function (option/command/space bar) does not work in Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator)

Mac OS X 10.6.7
CS 5.5
When Firefox is open the zoom function (option/command/space bar) does not work in Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator). This happens only when Firefox is open and when I close it the zoom functions work fine again without having to restart the applications.
This is intermittent but happens quite frequently each day if Firefox is active.

MDN doesn't mention -chrome being used for ordinary web pages: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#Chrome
When I use
firefox.exe -chrome about:permissions
I get a usable window, but zoom doesn't work as you noted.
How about using an intermediate page and window.open() for the target page? You can (mostly) restrict the chrome of windows opened that way, but it will leave behind the intermediate window...

My mac seems to be frozen on an internet page. I cant force quit. I can't control+options+command+esc. I can't access my activity monitor. I can see my mouse moving but when I click on anything, it doesn't seem to engage or recognize it. Fix?

Thank you. There is a bigger issue. It is not the web page that is the problem. It is that I can see my mouse moving and can move it along the bottom toolbar and the options will highlight but I can't click on anything. I can see the apple icon to get to force quit but cant click on it.
I used your suggestion and force quit came up but I can't select the option to force quit... not even with my arrows and enter/return key. Any other thoughts?
Thank you.

I am using Illustrator CS6 (Mac). I am using free transform tool. Why can't I use Shift Option Command to distort in perspective?

hong,
You need to ClickDrag just a tiny bit, then apply the Shift Option Command.

Option-Command-P-R, produces, only, dark, screen, and, repeating, chime. Would, anyone, be, familiar, with, this, happening.

I would look in, Sys/Lib/Extentions, and, relate, the, specific files, that, I deleted, but I have, deleted, them all, on, all, my up and running, eMacs. Like, I said, they all work, fine, without, the ones, I, have deleted, and I would go so far, as to say the system is more responsive, on booting, and, "snappier" in every app that I use. (Me, Naval, trained, electrian) (first, part oif training, how to design, electronic, and, electric, circuitry) (and you must do this in a short time period, each module is timed, so I became good at it, top three in my class) So, I, see, in my, head, that, poor, HD, read, arm, sweeping, over, the disk, and, having, to, avoid, the Intel, stuff, that it, will, never read, and, it, annoys, me. Classically, to make A perfect install DVD would be quite, A, daunting, task, and most software companys, would like to keep their good program, writers, without, making them rich. There, is, A Leopard, Security, PDF, that, notes, the, uselessness of unused, software, on, A harddrive. Are you familiar, with it? if not I'll post it, or google Leopard Security to find it. It's on Apple's data base. I, would just like to get rid of the rest of the files not used, by the Power PC platform, while not causing A crash! Please let me know if you, come up with anything, thanks.

Cannot duplicate using option + command + arrow keys.

Hi,
I have a new iMac running on 10.6.3.
I just switched from Illustrator 10 to Illustrator CS3, and I'm a bit exasperated. One of the things that is drving me nuts is that I can't duplicate objects using option + command + arrow keys anymore.
Why?
Thanks!
Chris.
