Preference for shift key with tool switching doesnt work

I still have to go throught all the tools if I hit the b key and the Brush was already selected. Thought the preference of the shift key would help, but know. What preference or cache do I reset or am I missing something. Thanks.

What operating system and version of photoshop are you using?
Resetting the photoshop preferences might clear things up, because if your using the use shift key for switching tools preference, then just hitting the letter itself shouldn't switch between tools in the same slot.

I have been trying to get my ibook g4 fixed from apple for 6 years now. my ram doesnt work and the logic board is f'd up aswell... i know 12 people that have had the same issue. 4 of them got there ibooks replaced. anyone know what to do?

i have been trying to get my ibook g4 fixed from apple for 6 years now. my ram doesnt work and the logic board is f'd up aswell... i know 12 people that have had the same issue. 4 of them got there ibooks replaced. anyone know what to do? all 4 ibooks were replaced outside warranty, why wont apple help me...

Apple supports most of their computer products for a 7 year period, could be that your IBook is well past any kind of help.Secondly parts are no longer being made for this machine and never will be again. Finally I find it hard to believe that nothing has been done with this for 6 years.Have you documented the reasons why you were turned down for repairs ? were the replaced Ibooks within a couple of months of warranty expiration? What model is your IBook ? At least if we knew what the model #, some of the more techy types could find out if there were any repair programs for your model.
Seems odd that you'd hang on to a non-working IBook for that long.

MacBook stuck with shift key enabled and numbers not working - even the keyboard app in languages wont type lowercase nor numbers?! Anyone know whats up? no spillage...cant understand why the keyboard app wont do anything.

Anyone have a clue? I can understand the keyboard being broke / shift key being stuck but why in the world would I not be able to type the numbers on the language keyboard app on the operating system? Numbers show up on the app but when I press them I still get the special characters like #^&#* and it wont type lower case. Nothing has ever been spilt, just stopped working one day. Rebooted from Time Capsule restore dated a month ago and its still doing it. (problem started two weeks ago). Only way to get lower case or numbers to actually show up is the copy and paste.
Any help would be amazing!
Details on computer: 13 inch MacBook6, 1 (Late 2009) / Intel Core 2 DUO / 2.26GHZ / 2GB / Memory running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

If you can afford it, I would recommend replacing the topcase and keyboard as Apple suggests. If like me, you can't afford it or are open to a hack fix, then read on.
The problem
Yesterday, a little water spilt on my 13" MBP keyboard. I turned it around immediately, drained out the water and used tissue to suck it all up but the keyboard was still acting funny. I turned it off and left it out in the sun for a couple of hours and turned it on again but problems remained. Like Rickdubya, my warranty had run out just a month ago and I knew Apple would not cover this under warranty. I tried to clean the shift keys and left it overnight with some rice on them with hopes that the moisture might get sucked out. Nothing worked. (The rice bit is an urban legend that seems to work with some electronics). Went to the Apple Store this morning and was told that they wouldn't even take out the key and clean it, and that the entire top case would have to be replaced. A total bill of 156 Euros which I cannot afford. I had a USB keyboard that would let me use the Mac for the moment so I decided to try to work out a fix.
Symptoms
- Boots in safe mode everytime (which I later found out was because the shift key is pressed)
- Cannot login because password is in lower case or has numbers
- Cannot boot in super user mode and try to disable keys or override password as some commands won't work in uppercase (I wouldn't recommend this anyway because its super user mode)
- All text is in caps and numbers are symbols as though shift key is always pressed
- Audio doesn't work
- Keyboard viewer would not always show the shift key pressed. The key seemed to get pressed at random
Fix
1. Hold the Option button down on boot to bypass the Safe Mode ensure a normal boot
2. At the login screen, plug in a USB keyboard and enter your password to login
3. Change your password to one that uses all caps and no numbers
4. Download and install KeyRemap4MacBook .
5. Use a combination of the functionalities of the Keyboard Viewer and KeyRemap4MacBook to figure out which shift key is the problem. In my case, I found out that it was only my left shift key.
6. Disable the left/right shift key on KeyRemap4MacBook and click on the 'Reload XML' button to make that take effect.
If only one shift key was the problem, then you are done. If both shift keys were shorted, then its likely other keys are too. In which case you should probably just replace the entire thing. If you think other keys are not affected, then you can use KeyRemap4MacBook itself to remap the shift functionality to a lesser used key like the Left Option key.
7. Under System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items , add KeyRemap4MacBook as an application that should start on login. This will ensure that your disable/remap of the shift key is active everytime you login.
Usage change/Things to remember
1. Remember to hold down the Option key everytime the computer boots or reboots to bypass safe mode. The fix above is at the software level. The key is physically still shorted at the hardware level and will affect boot.
2. Remember that at the login screen, the disable/remap is not active. So your password now has to be all caps and only letters.
As soon as I can save some money, I will get my topcase and keyboard replaced but until then this solution works great with minimal change. Hope this helps!

Office mac keeps asking for license key with fusion drive

I'm posting this in case anyone else is having this trouble where Office for Mac 2011 keeps asking for the license key. I have a later 2013 iMac with Fusion drive and never have been able to use office on this computer without entering the key. In talking with Microsoft they removed office and all the files and reinstalled with no help. In speaking with Apple, they said there is a known issue with Microsoft Office and the Fusion drive and Microsoft is working on a patch. Evidently the fusion drive moves the files around and to Microsoft that looks like new hardware so it prompts for the key. Realy annoying! Microsoft

I'm a certified Apple consultant and I recently hit this issue at an installation. On seven iMacs with the Fusion drive, I deleted the "Thunderbolt Bridge" interface from the Network System Preference. We then rebooted the computers, entered the product key one more time, and so far, the problem has disappeared and survives subsequent rebootings.
Obviously, if you are frequently networking two Macs using Thunderbolt, this isn't a good long-term solution (though it is easily added back). However, it does appear to work. I have no sound theory as to why it works, except that Office might be interpreting the existence of that bridge as evidence that the software was copied onto a machine instead of properly installed. This is just a wild guess, though.
I have no idea if it will work for others, but hey, the forums are for throwing out these ideas and seeing if one of them sticks for most people. So...there it is.

KeyLocation bug in KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP for shift keys

Hi There everyone
I have discovered a bug with KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP keyLocation values for the shift keys.
how to reproduce this :
1.when no other keys are down the value for left shift is 1 and for right shift is 2 for KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP
2. when you have pressed shift and then press another key - when releasing shift the value for left and right become 0.
There is absolutely no reason why these values should report anything other then what they initially reported on key down as each key fires its own event with details for each , regardless of any key combinations.
Im using cs5.5 windows 7 basic.
can anyone else verify this so a bug can be logged?
Thanks

Shift keys on thinkpad twist not working with certain keys

My shift keys stopped working with certain keys. asdfjkl;'zxcvm,. Those are the letters and symbols that my shift key stopped working with. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Okay, do the following.
1) Go into your control panel. You can get into this by either pressing Windows key + E, or search for control panel in the 'Search' box.
2) Now select View By, and choose 'Large Icon' or 'Small Icon', which is on the top right corner of the Control Panel screen.
3) Select 'Ease of Access Center'. Or you can skip step 1 and 2, by directly typing 'Ease of Access Center' in the search.
4) Select 'Make the Keyboard easier to use'.
5) Make sure you unselect 'Turn on Filter Keys' option.
3)

Preferences for Open Application With is not working (although preferences are saved/appearing. Thoughts?

Although the preferences for using certain applications to open downloaded files is set and saved (it still appears when accessed), the preferences are either not utilized automatically (for most files) or remembered at all for others (docx files). So, each time I try to download/open a docx file, I have to "browse" and tell firefox to use microsoft word, even though the preference is already set. I see that some people are having trouble with preferences being deleted, but that is not that case here. Thanks!

New Apple Keyboard for Dual G5 with KVM Switcher

Hi Everyone,
I have a Dual Mac G5 and a Dual Mac G4 with a Belkin KVM Switcher, so they are able to both share one monitor. I am not sure of the model number of the Switcher, but I bought it because it was recommended by Apple. It has worked flawlessly since I installed it over a year ago.
My problem is this. I plugged the new Mac keyboard into the G5, where the old one was. When I did this, the Switcher just kept switching back and forth, on and off, and just was not behaving.
Is there some software out there that I have to install that will enable me to plug in the new Mac keyboard without any problems with the KVM Switcher?
Thank you for reading this. I would sincerely appreciate any help. Best Regards, Luke 77

Just make F5 as your Dashboard...
System Preferences---> Keyboard---> Shortcuts---> Mission Control---> (check mark Show Dashboard)---> Double click the current state (could be F12). When highlighted, hit the actual key "F5".
From then on, you should be able to hit "F5" and it'll show the Dashboard for you.
I believe there are at least two Apple Wireless keyboard out there. The one that I am on right now shows 6 squares on the F4 key. The other has the dial face on the F4 key. This one also has brightness control for the backlighting on the keyboard, or rather the built-in keyboard of a Mac Book (Air and Pro). Which are on the F5 and F6 keys. Why Apple did that, I have no idea.
You could also use a Hot Corner to open the Dashboard. For instance use the upper left for it.
System Preferences---> Mission Control---> Hot Corners (lower left of the window)---> Select the upper left and scroll to Dashboard.
I personally like to have the Dashboard "fly" over my current screen/desktop. So I unchecked "Show Dashboard a Space."

Plug-in or 3rd party for Chroma keying with DV footage

We shoot Betacam SP, captured to DV with a DSR-45P DV/DVCAM deck.
From what I learn on the web, green is preferred if you edit on DV, due to the color sampling. (4:1:1 for PAL?).
However, it also depends on what background you have. Use green if you are in the forest, use blue if you are at the beach. Sort of.
The built-in chroma keying in FCP is OK, but not more than that. What do you recommend using?
I've found the dVMatte from www.dvgarage.com - is it good?

Just for DV media, the AdvantEdge plug-in from Ultimatte has a preset. It has a resampling method for 4:1:1 (or 4:2:0 if PAL) media like DV.
Take a look:

Utilizing auto-increment/identity fields for primary key with "application" identity

Is it possible to utilise an auto-increment (identity in MS SQL Server)
field for the primary key field when using "application" identity?

To the best of my knowledge, you cannot use auto-increment. Due to the
differences in the way that identities are generated at the datastore
(upon insert) vs. JDO (upon makePersistent), this feature of SQLServer is
not supported yet.
However, we do provide a variety of other ways of generating identity
which may provide a closer fit to what you want, and
our users may have some experience in solving your problem.

T430s Wireless switch doesnt work

My wireless switch doesn't work. I turn the switch on both from the F5+Fn and the little button on the side of the computer. But, the computer still showed "please turn on wireless hardware". I used the one key recovery to turn the computer back to factory settings, but it still didn't work. Any suggestion??? Thank you.

Hi,
It sounds like a broken switch. You can refer the hardware maintenance manual and try reseating the switch. Otherwise, contact Lenovo technical support for assistance.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.

Lock switch doesnt work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the switch at the top of my ipod that locks and unlocks it is broken! now it is stuck on lock. i can move the switch back and forth but it doesnt do anything. it still says its locked. everyone says to do the 5 r's thingy and the first one is reset but i cant do that cause my is locked!! can someone please help me?!

The 'Hold' slide is broken as mentioned in the orig post. There is something wrong with it. Restore, what will that do if the hold slide is broken.
If it is stuck on lock, then restore is not doing anything for it. When the hold is on lock, the buttons on the iPod will not work.
So, the Apple Store will have to perform some magic fix on it. Dig!!
