Problem using the F10 key...

I'm reading Diana Weynand's Final Cut Express 4: Movie Making for Everyone, and in the sixth lesson, I'm being instructed to "...press F10 to drop the music clip in as an Overwrite edit." Straight-forward enough, right? Well, it has having no effect. It may have something to do with F10 also being the mute key, but I don't know how to get around that. Any help, please?

I encountered the same problem. I'm using a MacBookPro with external Apple keyboard and display and running OS 10.5.4. This is the way I solved the problem. Go to System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard. Place a check in the "Use all F1, F2, etc." box. Go to System Preferences>Exposé & Spaces>Exposé. Change keyboard shortcuts F10, F11, F12 to F1, F2, F3. My F9, F10, F11 now edit in Final Cut Express 4. To make them behave the way they did before, press the "fn" key + the F-key you need. Good luck.

I cannot get into my BIOS using the F10 Key

I need to get into my BIOS settings to be able to boot from a USB drive and the F10 key does not work.

Hi,
Try the ESC key after power on then Computer setup (f10). If that doesn't work then review this article.

Which iBook do you have?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1772?viewlocale=en_US
Which version of the OS is installed, and which version are you trying to install?
You could try starting up with Startup Manager and see if it will allow you to select the OS X install disc as the startup disk. If so, maybe you can proceed from there. I would recommend repairing the hard drive first since you are evidently having a bit of a problem with it.

Out of the box, to use the function keys as function keys, hold down the fn key when you press the key. Otherwise, you get the picture function on the key. You can reverse this behavior in the Keyboard system prefs.

I am having a problem moving across cells in Microsoft Excel. When I use the arrow keys, the sheet moves, instead of moving to the next cell. Would anyone have any thoughts on this, please?

Hi,
Did you find a way to solve your problem ? We have exactly the same for one application and we are using the same version of HFM : 11.1.2.1.
This problem is only about webforms. We can correctly input data through Data Grids or Client 32.
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Problem with the volume keys on my keyboard.

Hey everybody,
I have a problem with the volume keys on my keyboard. This started a couple days ago and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. When I press the volume up or down buttons, the graphic appears on the screen as it normally would, but has no effect on the volume of the sound coming out of my speakers. Therefore, the only way to change the volume of music or whatever I am listening to is to use the volume control within the program/website itself (itunes, youtube, etc.) Even changing the volume on the volume icon at the menu bar on top of the screen does nothing. If anyone has an idea of how to go about solving this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

First look into the Preference > Sound > Outpur whether internal Speakers are choosen.
The only Preference to delete I can discover is com.apple.systempreferences.plist in your home Library folder. You can try to move it out to the desktop for example, not to loose all your settings. Restart and see whether the problem still persists. If you don't know how to do this here some Terminal (Applications > Utilities) commands. Enter them by copy and paste followed by <enter>
mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist ~/Desktop/
restart
to get it back:
mv ~/Desktop/com.apple.systempreferences.plist ~/Library/Preferences/
confirm with "y" if you are asked to replace this file.

SSL: How to use the same key pair for ABAP & JAVA?

Hello,
I want to setup an XI (3.0 on Netweaver04)installation in the way, that ABAP AS and JAVA AS use the same key pair for SSL. My problem is to define the same private key on ABAP and JAVA. With the JAVA Administrator I am able to define or import a private key. But I could not find a possibility in ABAP to manage private keys in order to use the same on as in JAVA. What is the procedure for this?
Thanks and Regards,
Frank Tottleben

My keyboard freezes after using the option key... what gives?

I have a 17" MacBookPro with OSX 10.6.8
The problem: My keyboard key freeze after using the " option key" in Photoshop or when downloading a file using the option key.
I can usually use it 2 or 3 times before it makes a chirping cricket like sound… then my keys freeze up.? The only way to correct it is to restart.
Anyone else have or had this issue? it's frustrating. What's the deal?

Can I just bring my laptop to the nearest service center and get this problem solved directly? You know, usually it will takes several days to receive the backup keyborad, I can't wait
You'll have to phone the service center and ask. (When I lived not far from Lenovo's Canadian service center and wanted to bring in a ThinkPad for warranty repair they said that would be OK with them but my unit would be put on a queue the same as if I'd shipped it in. They simply didn't offer walk-in, while you wait service.)
In the interim it may or may not be possible to reattach the key, even just temporarily, depending on whether it wasn't put on properly at the factory or if it's physically broken in some way. Or you could use an external keyboard until Lenovo sends you a replacement, etc.
I've just call the local service center, he told me that he can not repair individual key, they can just replace the whole keyboard..... How bad luck I am!!!

Key Bindings using the arrow keys

Following is some code that allows you to move a component around the screen using the arrow keys. I've noticed a problem and I'm just wondering if its Java or my keyboard.
Lets start with an example that works:
Press the down and right keys. Then press either the up or left key. The image moves proving that it supports 3 keys.
Now for the problem:
Press the up and left keys. Then press either the down or right key. Three things to notice:
a) the direction doesn't change when the third key is pressed
b) no output is displayed, so the ActionListener is not being invoked
c) after a short time, the program starts beeping
Now try rerunning the code after removing the comments that assign the key bindings to the "a, s, d, f" keys. Redo the above test and it works even if all four keys are pressed.
I don't remember this problem when I wrote the code a while ago, but I did recently get a cheap new keyboard so I'm just wondering if the problem is my keyboard or whether its a quirk with Java.

if you hold down left and right (so it doesn't move), down works, but not up.
hold up/down, right works but not left.Yes, the problem only seems to be when the up and left in combination with the right or down key is pressed.
num lock off - use the number pad arrow keys and all works OK Thats interesting, I didn't notice that. Although it just confuses the issue as to what the problem is.
So it appears to me that:
a) left + up + down, and
b) left + up + right
are special key combinations that are intercepted by either the OS or the JVM. Do these key combinations ring a bell to anybody?
I'm use JDK1.4.2 on XP. I wonder if other OS will have the same problem?
Again, this isn't a real, problem, just more of a curiosity. Thanks,

Using the Tab Key in Simulations

Hi, I am new to this forum and new to Captivate 5.
I am creating online courses that teach people how to use our company's software programs so I use Captivate simulations often. We use Captivate to record the simulations and then we use Articulate Presenter to create the course.
Problem 1
I still can't figure out how to use Tabs smoothly with Text Entry boxes all together. I've been reading all of the forum information and trying everything and the Tab won't work correctly for me.
I have only placed one TEB on a slide but when I get to the second TEB on the next slide, I start typing the text and the system moves forward to the next action before I finish typing the text. Or, I have to press the Tab key twice to get to the next TEB on the next slide. I am totally confused.
Problem 2
I have been able to successfully create a simulation using the Enter key to validate text entry boxes. I publish the simulation and use the swf file to create a web object that gets placed in Articulate. The web object holds the swf file and the html file below.
Here is an example of the html file:
This works just fine when I use the Enter key to validate text entry boxes. However, we decided to use the Tab key and now I have to deal with the seamless tabbing issues in Captivate. I figured out how to add the seemless tab info to the published file, Can I use the Captivate html file to create a web object? If so, how do I do that?
Please help!!

I have had success using TAB in Captivate 5.
I learned:
Dont put Text Entry Boxes on the timeline appearing at 0 seconds. Have them appear at 0.2. This gives it time to load.
Make sure they are on the top layer.
Appear for the duration of the slide, no transitions, and pause until the user clicks.
I noticed if you type fast (as the learner) it kinda messes everything up. Add a distraction so you learner slows down on their typing speed.
Also make sure you have the update installed. There were some bugs fixed in the TEB area.
Good luck. email if you have any more questions.

Using the enter key on an editable table

Hi,
I'm using 11g adf and I can't figure out how to get past this:
When going through an editable table (with editingMode="editAll") using the enter key, it will stop after a certain number of rows, equal to the value of fetchSize. If I want to go down further, I have to scroll down another way to make it fetch the next set of rows, it won't go to the next row with the enter key. It simply won't execute the query to fetch the next rows.
Increasing the fetchSize will just delay the problem to a row further down (and decrease the performance since the fetch operation can take quite a bit longer).
I've tried to put a clientListener on both the table or the inputText fields to intercept the enter key, but that won't work when the table is in editable mode.
Is there any way to fix this problem?

Hi,
I've tried to put a clientListener on both the table or the inputText fields to intercept the enter key, but that won't work when the table is in editable mode.
The clientListener needs to be on the inputText fields. Then in JS you need to call a server listener which will check if the current row is already at the range end and if calls NextSet (you can provide this as a method binding). Unfortunately after this you will need to PPR the table to show the new rows. This is how I would try it.

Not able to use the Tab key to Tab indent when within a text edit window...

Two questions please... First one is above for the tab function. In Safari I just need to press control+option+tab to indent a tab within a text edit box on a website. This function is being used more via cloud and mobile capability.
Second... I can, in Safari, Copy and paste a site with tables. Works great in Safari. When I try to do this in FF I lose the formatting of the tables and it just give plain text without the tabled fields.
I would love to use FF because the compatibility if much greater than Safari, but... I need my functionality as well to do my work to the best and quickest ability.
Thank you

Help About says I'm on 20.0.1
Up until last week, I was able to use the tab key when typing emails and other multi-line text boxes.
Suddenly the behavior of the tab key changed. This isn't the first time. It's been quite a while ago that the function of the tab key changed from indenting to moving around the page, then after some time it changed back to indenting.
Can we get this fixed and leave it alone, please?
I may give one of those add-ins a try, but my problem with add-ins is that they break when FF is patched or upgraded, then I'm left with out the solution they provide.
Can we just fix Firefox, please?
Thanks,
Frank
P.S. Another potential fix I came across suggested starting FF in safe mode to see if the problem goes away. It does not. It seems to be a change to FF that appeared after an update last week. On or just befor 24 Apr.

I need to use the 'Ins' key for reverting x,y & z axis co-ords

Apple selling X3: The Return. However the problem is that the navigational command 'go to' will only take you to x and z coordinates, the pc users then use the 'Ins' key to flip to y axis for the third dimension navigation point. I have tried looking at keyboard mapping but the new aluminium iMac keyboard is an 'Function Key' nightmare compared to earlier version. Any brave soul wishing to answer this one.

Exiting programs using the escape key

My team and I are design games for autistic children. One of the problems we are having is that we do not know how to quit the application using the escape key. Our team would really appreciate it if you could tell us how this is done.

Quick example:
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ExitOnEscape extends JFrame
    public ExitOnEscape()
        setSize(300, 300);
        addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter()

                int key = e.getKeyCode();
                if(key == KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE)
                    System.exit(0);
        setVisible(true);
    public static void main(String[] args)
