Fn+ B : Break

Fn+ S: SysRq

I have an E545. I can't make the scroll lock work. Trying to allow my laptop to scroll. Very frustrated.

X220 - swapping numlock and scroll lock

Hello,
does anybody know, how to swap these both keys? I've searched the registry, but I haven't found anything... Ideal state would be just change the values - in a result numlock would be turned on by pressing "scrlk" key, and scroll lock would be turned on by "fn+scrlk". Num lock would help me a lot, since I don't use Excel very often.
I would be very glad for all suggestions!
Thank You and wish a nice day!

Try KeyTweak.
I can't confirm Fn+keys combinations remapping capability.

"Drag" and "Drag lock" indicator for the trackpad (mouse) cursor

Anyone know how to get a "Drag" and "Drag lock" indicator for the trackpad (mouse) cursor. When using the track pad, I'm often finding that my final click does not release the item I was dragging and then I inadvertently drag it across my screen, as I go to my next function. Would be nice if there was some type of indicator that would pop up on the cursor so you knew when drag lock is active.
Thanks!

Idiot question - How do I re-install Leopard? No matter what I do, it kicks the disk out on restart. I have tried using the 'install' command on the disk, nothing. It kicks the disk out and boots from the hard drive. I have tried rebooting holding down the 'c' key to force it to read from the drive, it still kicks the disk out and boots from the hard drive. What else should I do?
I researched back further and found another thread where people were complaining of the same drag and drop issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6446208
Someone suggested a solution involving permissions. I fixed my permissions. Drag and drop is still not working.
There was also a set of commands to type into terminal that would supposedly fix the issue, or perhaps it was a Spotlight issue that the thread had morphed into. I did that. Drag and drop is still not working.
Am I just totally hosed? Help!

My keyboard has gone haywire, shift keys and scroll Lock keeps turning on by themselves!

Hello, recently I have a problem typing with my laptop. Mutliple times a day, both of the shift keys, and the scroll lock key turns on by themselves. These are the problems I face when typing: 1. Unwanted text is highlighted2. Letters are capital although caps lock is not on.3. When I try to browse in Google Chrome, text gets deleted and random windows start to pop up4. For some reason the word "QWEPRUIO" starts appearing sometimes when I type.
5. Someimes while I type, suddenly the text gone missing and an asterik * appears.6. Also when this happens, my wi-fi gets turned off automatically. IT guys at my work place tried fixing it but we can't seem to find the problem source.Please help me, this is getting rather annoying especially I am using the laptoo for work!It took me more than half an hour to type a decent email to my client Thanks!

By any chance did something get spilled onto the keyboard (even a small amount)? Liquids can definitely cause this type of issue (Trust me, I know from experience, I have kids.). If you rule that out then open the System Preferences and click on the Keyboard settings, put a check in the 'Show Input menu in menu bar' box. This will add a menu bar pull down menu that will allow you to 'Show Keyboard Viewer.' If you select the 'Show Keyboard Viewer' option does the keyboard layout match the keyboard you are using? When you press the keys you are having issue with does the corresponding key light up on the keyboard viewer? Please post your results.

Caps lock and Scroll lock blink continuously without stopping

HP Pavilion Dv5 1004nr entertainment notebook. Caps lock & scroll lock blink continuously. Power light is on. Power light does not flash. Fan and drive start upon powering up. Held down 4 arrow keys during power up, but does not solve problem. Removed all external devices and removed battery. Same problem. Please help.

Urgh, appears to be bad RAM... Running memtest and switching sticks in and out only shows errors with one particular RAM stick installed. I'll leave this stick out and try installing Arch again once the current memtest pass is finished.
I'd have expected better from Patriot!

I've just bought Photoshop CC and the spacebar shortcut for the hand tool isn't working?

I've googled solutions for the problem and most of them say that I need to close down the other programmes I have open, as well as photoshop, and then restart the programme so I tried this and nothing seems to work. The hand tool by itself works but I much prefer using the spacebar shortcut as I need to work fast and it's much easier.
Is there a way I need to activate the spacebar shortcut seeing as I bought the software this morning?
Thanks

I had this same issue and a restart would NOT fix the problem, neither would reseting the prefs, or any of the other solutions mentioned in this post. I discovered the problem to be the Terminal application was automatically opening on login, which had the "Secure Keyboard Entry" option enabled. (Terminal menu item->Secure Keyboard Entry (check marked)) If I quit Terminal without disabling "Secure Keyboard Entry", the spacebar in Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop would work as expected. Although, if I restarted with Terminal still loading automatically with "Secure Keyboard Entry" enabled then the spacebar would NOT work until I quit the Terminal app. The problem is that when the computer logs into the user account and starts the Terminal app it hides the keyboard entry from other applications. Somehow Adobe products are now sensitive to this and the spacebar stops working as is should. So, the solution is to either make sure Terminal is not to load automatically at login, or disable the "Secure Keyboard Entry" option in Terminal and only enable it as needed. Be sure to disable it when your are no longer using the terminal. I have never seen this before and have been using Adobe products on OS X since its release, but I have not always used the Terminal as I do now in such a secure way. Thanks again governments and criminals for even further complicating our lives!

Firefox slow and unresponsive with facebook and zynga and then locks up for all other tabs open

I finally had to uninstall the beta 4 version as I couldn't take the issues any longer. The browser would become slow and then totally unresponsive mostly when using facebook and zynga. however, all tabs would become slow and unresponsive and would have to be rebooted. It wouldn't be 5 minutes and it would have to be done again. Even without facebook/zynga loaded in a tab, the entire browser is unbelievably slow. I am running mac os x 10.5.8.
I went back to the old version until I hear back as I just don't have time to sit and wait and wait and wait only to have to reboot the program constantly.

I found a "work around". I installed Incredible Bookmarks 0.7.3. That allows me to add an additional Bookmarks Toolbar without causing the bouncing problem.
Putting bookmarks in the IB bar was a little tricky. It allows customization, but only to the extent of choosing bookmarks by topic or by a subdirectory of the Bookmarks Menu. What I actually put on the toolbar are such subdirectories (or folders), so I normally could only put one at a time. (This problem doesn't exist with the Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar, which allows you to copy subfolders, not just individual bookmarks).
I solved the problem by moving the additional folders I wanted to put in the IB Toolbar into a folder I (cleverly) called "IB Toolbar", then selected that for the actual Toolbar. The result: a row of folders, exactly what I wanted. (Actually, it's a second row of folders, since I still have the original Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar.)
I'd still prefer MultiRow, but that doesn't appear to be working with Firefox 3.6.18 and higher, so until I upgrade to Firefox 5 (and see if the Plus version will work) this will have to do.

OS 10.4.10 and APPS locking up for no reason

My video card died on me and I replaced it. Now when I run or do anything the nac will lock up or studder on doing things. I checked the HDD tree and checked the permissions seems to be ok. Now I pulled all but one ctick of memory and testing it out then adding another stick of memory and retesting. Is there anything else I need to do if this does not find the problem?

No, because I did process of elimination. I had a stick of memory in last slot and it froze and wanted to shut down. Then I took memory out of the last slot and worked fine. Then I took a good stick of memory and put it in last slot and it still lock up. So to me its on the mother board. Is this true or could it be something else.

I have an ipod 4th gen. and it locked itself for 23 million minutes. I know how to clear everything off of it, and return it to factory settings, but I want to check and make sure I'm backed up by itunes or icloud first. How would I check?

I need to find a way to make sure I'm backed up by icloud or itunes before it's reset.

For iTunes backup go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date of the late backup.
For iCloud backup you have to have another iOS device signed int iCloud and then go to Settings>iCloud>Backup and look.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

Could i use a older USB keyboard with caps, num, and scroll lock LEDs to...

controll a motor? use the power from the LEDs (snipping the LEDs off so they dont draw power) and hook them up to a motor? im thinking about making a DIY cd/dvd duplicator out of a USB scanner. Mabey i should use the existing controller board in the scanner to control motors?....but that would require proramming. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Not really my area of expertise but....
I'd say you coukd use the LED outputs to trigger relays as the voltage and current would be too low for any useful motor. A typical LED is supplied ~ 2.1 VDC @ ~20 mA. ( could be as low as 2 mA ).

[SOLVED] Kernel Panic - caps lock and scroll lock flashing

So I just spent a whole bunch of $$$ on a new desktop, and a couple of hours putting it all together, now I can't get anything except kernel panics when booting the Arch install CD
Hardware:
Core 2 Quad Q8400
Gigabyte EP43-UD3L
8gb RAM
2 x Seagate SATA 160gb
2 x Seagate SATA 1tb
So far I've tried:
- Arch ISO 2008.06 and 2009.02
- Fail Safe Defaults in the BIOS
- 'noapic' boot option
- HPET in 32 and 64 bit mode
The strange thing is that the panic comes at various stages - sometimes before the init scripts start, sometimes after, and also during boot it complains about errors with fd0 - except there is no floppy drive.
Any ideas folks?
