Possible to lock FN for adaptive keyboard settings

Is is possible to have the FN key being protected so that it does not switch to the other functions that easy?
I use the F1, F2, keys a lot. I have my hands on the keyboard and without knowing I touch the FN key and it switches. I also need the other functions, so is it possible to protect the FN key instead of pressing once, you have to press it twice before it switches?

I don't think it's possible went through the whole document Kasper, all I can suggest you is not to leave your finger on the Esc key.
But I noticed key combinations with Fn-key and other keys are still possible by holding down the Fn-key.
Theoretically, you can achieve what you are looking for by creating something yourself in C#, C++ or VB.NET. I think everything is there what you might need to create this.
I still think the dynamic keyboard row is awesome!
Good luck neighbour!

Is it possible to pre-configure the iPad keyboard settings using Apple Configurator or iPhone Configuration Utilitity?

I have to configure 20+ iPads for events that are sometimes in French, sometimes in English, sometimes both. It is important that I can preset the keyboard settings to allow multiple languages (for example). I've been looking in Apple Configurator and iPhone Configuration Utility, and I can't find where I can set that kind of settings during deployment.
Is there a way I can manage all the settings of the iPads without having to go through each iPad to make sure the settings are ok for my event?

Order Management provides you with the ability to import ATO and PTO configurations from legacy systems or EDI. In your case, you should define the ATO/PTO model first and then import the order and configuration selections from the EDI.
The order import will let you create an Order even if the selections are invalid.
You should then programmatic book and progress the order (using Order actions api).
If the configuration is valid, then the API will generate a * number (ATO item), create bom/routing as appropriate and place that item on the sales order.
If the configuration is invalid, it won't let you book the order. Once you have fixed the invalid selections/configurations, you will be able to book and progress the order.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A89549_01/acrobat/115omapi.pdf for details.
Also refer to the "Importing Configurations" section in Oracle Order Management Suite White Papers [ID 113492.1]

Is there any way to lock just for settings?

When I let my son 5 to play my iPad. He sometimes click Settings and play around and caused change the settings. Is there any possible to lock just for settings. When you click the settings and it must have passcode to change anything in settings.

Settings>General>Restrictions>Enable Restrictions. Take a look at this.
iOS: Understanding Restrictions (Parental Controls) - Support - Apple
You could move the settings app into a folder on another screen that your son might not be apt to look in. Put in a folder on a home screen that he doesn't use. Keep his stuff accessible on one of the first home screens and encourage him to not stray from that screen.

Is it possible to lock the numeric keyboard on the iPad mini so that I do not have to go back to the regular keyboard every time I press the space button?

Is it possible to lock the onscreen numeric keyboard on the iPad mini so that I do not have to go back to the regular keyboard every time I press the space button?

Thanks so very much!! You ROCK! I took your second suggestion and went into the iPad settings menu and then into the app. From there I was able to mute the sound effects I wanted. Really appreciate your help.
Cheers!

Possible to lock phone volume/ringtone?

Hello, is it possible to lock the ringtone and volume settings on a specific line on the 79XX series phones? As an example, I would like to add a line used for emergencies only to specific phones but lock the ringtone and volume on it so individual user's local phone settings would not override it.
Thanks,
-J

Hi Jeremiah,
I'll just add this tech note to the tips from my friend Manish (+5)
Q.    How do I prevent the user from changing the ring volume and network   configuration on IP phones?
A. Users are unable to change the ring volume if you disable the Settings       Access parameter on the Phone configuration page. Complete these steps:
From the Cisco CallManager Administration page, choose             Device > Phone, and click the phone for which you want to             prevent a ring volume change.
Choose Disabled for the Settings Access parameter             under the Product Specific Configuration section.
When Settings Access is enabled, you can change the phone network       configuration, ring type, and volume on the phone. When you disable Settings       Access, the Settings button is completely disabled and no options appear when       you press the button. Also, you cannot adjust the ringer volume or save any       volume settings. The option Restricted is available in Cisco CallManager       version 4.1(3) and later. When you change Settings Access to Restricted, you       can only access User Preferences and volume settings. By default, Settings       Access is enabled.

TS3048 Keyboard won't link and screen is locked, I cant access Bluetooth settings

My keyboard won't link and screen is locked, I cant access Bluetooth settings. What do I do?

First make sure the batteries aren't dead and that the keyboard hasn't already been paired with another device. If it hasn't, the keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Otherwise see these support articles:
Mac mini (Mid 2011 and later) and iMac (Late 2012): Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
If you have a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, you may need a wired keyboard to complete the pairing process. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.

Is it possible to lock the keyboard of a client from a server using java

please explain wheterit is possible to lock the keyboard of a client from a server using java

You want to process code on one machine, and thereby lock the keyboard on another machine? No, that's not possible. It is extremely far from possible.
Of course, if the client is running software with security holes in it you might hack into it and crash the thing. This will lock up the keyboard pretty good. I hope that's not what you want ...
Or are you talking about a setup where you already have code running on the client, and some sort of communication between client and server? In that case what you need to know is whether it is possible to lock the keyboard at all. Once you have figured that out, it is trivial to add the communication code to have the server software tell the client software to lock the keyboard.
So what do you mean with "lock the keyboard"? It's pretty easy to remove/disable all keyboard related listeners in your own application. It's a lot harder (and AFAIK impossible with pure java) to disable alt-tabbing out of the application. And impossible, except from exploiting security holes, to lock the ctrl-alt-delete-combination on windows machine.

In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. How I can disable it?

Hello, In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. All is locked. How I can disable it?

Do you mean the check box isn't enabled?
Or you remove the check but it doesn't "stick"?
Or you remove the box but documents are stil getting locked?
That setting doesn't apply to other things in System Preferences, just apps that support AutoSave and Versions. If you're having a problem with System Prefs, please clarify exactly what.

Separate settings for MBP keyboard and aluminium keyboard?

I just bought myself a Apple aluminium keyboard (USB) and have to say I'm loving it. However, there is one small hang-up.
Basically, whatever key-commands I apply to the keyboard are taking from my MacBook Pro's keyboard settings and seem to have none of their own. I had gotten the impression that there was a stand-alone software to manage the keyboard but that does not seem to be the case as far as I can tell after about 30 minutes of searching the net and Apple's website.
Does anyone know a way in which I can have one set of settings for my laptop's keyboard and another set for my aluminium keyboard?
All relevant software updates, OS X 10.5.2.

Hal settings for synaptic/keyboard not respected anymore (Gnome2.28)

I have a 11-x11-synaptics.fdi config-file with my synaptics settings and a 10-keymap.fdi file with my keyboard layout set.
After upgrading to Gnome 2.28 yesterday, these settings are not respected anymore. I get US layout, and a touchpad where tapping and RTCornerButton and RBCornerButton does not work. Setting tapping manually in Gnomes mouse settings gui makes it work, but only for tapping.
The strange thing is that the same thing happens when logging in to lxde. As I can't see any x.org-packages that have been installed, this confuses me. Could it be gdm related? Has any other things mouse- and keybpard-related been updated just now?
I updated on the 09.10, and I'm pretty sure everything worked fine (didn't use my laptop much the last couple of days). However, when I updated again the 13.10, yesterday, mouse and keyboard settings broke.
This seems sort of related to this post, but he mentions only keyboard layout, and mine has surely worked since then.
A bug? A Feature? Me being stupid?
I have looked trough the pacman.log/warnings, I promise!

I'm also having problem with Gnome not respecting my Hal settings. After enabling tapping in gnome-mouse-properties it mostly works, but for some reason TapButton2 and TapButton3 are reversed, ie. TapButton2 = 3 and TapButton3 = 2. I can't find any way of configuring the TapButtons in Gnome either, which is really stupid.
I guess I can somehow make sure that synclient sets these correctly, but is there no way of telling gnome to either set the corrent values or to not touch the settings at all? Not running gnome-settings-daemon is not an option for me, since it sets a lot of other things that I want.

Locking bar for keyboard ribbon on ABook 1.33GHz logic board broken

HELP! I can't afford £400.00 for a new logic board...
Just changing the hard drive. Very careful, but locking bar for keyboard ribbon destroyed.
Anyone know what to use as a replacement/wedge - the keyboard ribbon is a "zero insertion force" item; Apple says "new logic board needed!"

if you have an ibook (I cannot tell for sure from your post), the ribbon cable can be wedged into its slot using a strip of material cut from a credit card type of plastic (here in the US we all get "fake" credit cards in the mail that I keep just for such projects - they also make good squeegees or soft scrapers).
I just cut with a good scissors, and usually try to shape it like a very wide, or fat "T" so that the bottom just fits into the cable slot, and the "T" crossbar protrudes a bit on either side outside of the top, for easy grasping, if you need to remove it. The fit of the plastic bit should be snug, but does not need to be too tight, as the ribbon is also held in place somewhat by the ram cover.
If you have a powerbook, that's another matter entirely. If the socket is broken from the logicboard, I have heard that the socket can be re-affixed to the logic board by a good electronics repair service. If the socket is broken from the cable, then a replacement keyboard would do the trick.
good luck,
Ray

Hi, my free trial license has expired, and I am wondering if it's possible to only pay for one month for after effects without locking for a year with monthly fee. I only need this for a project that is ending next week.

Num Lock for wireless keyboard

Anybody can suggest how to enable/disable the Num Lock in my wireless keyboard? It's currently not working for input of numbers. It once worked but something has happened and it's now not responsive. Thanks!

Hello, in an other thread I found:
System Preferences - unsiversal ??? - mouse you should disable mouse key

Keyboard Settings button disabled

On opening Region and Language > Input Sources, the wrench button is disabled. I can't figure out which package is needed to select that option despite searching around.
Attached screenshot below.
Anyone else ran into this on a fresh arch install with the gnome 3.6.2 package?

Yup! Have that installed..(thanks for the reply though!)
If I remember correctly, in Ubuntu, this brought up a screen to change the caps-lock key behaviour to esc, etc...I already used dconf to map it, I am sure that there is something wrong with my keyboard settings.
(Possibly) related problem using "Custom Shortcuts" to map "gnome-terminal" to "Ctrl+Alt+T", stops working on reboots until I redefine the key.
