Problem with function keys

Only the F11 and F12 keys on my PB G4 seem to do anything at present (Expose and Dashboard). Looking on this forum and others, I have tried to fix this by going to the Keyboard/Mouse section of System Prefs and turning on AND off the "use F1-F12 keys to control software prefs". Have tried using all buttons while holding down the fn key, with the software pref thing on and off, all to no avail. the Num lock key only works if i hold down fn, F6, and the letter key all at the same time. cannot find a way to turn Num lock on indefinitely.
My main problem is that I actually liked being able to adjust the brightness of my screen and my volume with the function keys. I honestly am not sure when this functionality was lost, I had mac laptops through work and personally, so I can't quite recall if my personal laptop was ever "right".
Could one of the software updates have messed up this functionality? I am living in a small town with no mac store nearby, so please help!
thanks!

You know, I thought I was the only one with this problem. A few weeks ago, I noticed that my brightness keys on the keyboard "didn't work." I thought maybe it had to do with getting my LCD screen replaced at the Apple Store since they had to take out the keyboard and disassemble/reassemble the unit to do so.
But I think it is one of those new quirks with the 10.4.9 update.
For instance, you used to be able to eject CDs or DVDs on a whim just by pressing the eject key. Now, you have to hold it down for a few seconds before it will do so. This was--according to someone--done to prevent accidental ejection of discs. A delay of some sort.
Same with shutting down your computer via that similar key combo. You used to be able to do that in an instant, but now there is a delay.
Sure enough, at least on MY PowerBook, in order to adjust the brightness and/or volume, I have to hold down the keys on the keyboard for a few seconds before it will respond.
Before the 10.4.9 update, all you did was lightly tap on the keys and they would respond. I believe this is similar to the intentional delay Apple made (why? I don't know) in making CDs and DVDs not eject right away.
Try it. Hold down your brightness keys and it will work. But not if you merely tap on them like before. I think that is a good idea though. It was so easy to accidentally dim your screen all the way to black, before that.
If it doesn't work, then you may have a different problem. =(

Problem with Function Key in multiple JTextArea's

Hi all,
I have an unusual problem that I'm hoping someone has run into before. I'm working on a chatroom with multiple JTextArea's. I'm filter incoming keystrokes to run the appropriate method. I want to use function keys to perform various functions. I know it will, theoretically work because my test program worked fine in my test apllet with 1 JTextArea. All the other keyevent's work fine but the eventlistener acts like it doesn't detect any (function) event at all. I'm hoping that someone has run into this before.
Thanks.
Chris

Here's a code snipet:
String dummy;
int keyVal = e.getKeyCode();
switch (keyVal) {
case KeyEvent.VK_F1:
But what concerns me is that my debugger doesn't respond to any function key. I can't even debug because the debuger can't see what I'm doing. I've tried listening for function keys in the parent panel but with the same result. This is going to be a bear to solve.
Thanks.

Problem with function keys while using Terminal to connect to UNIX host

We are trying to use macs at my office, but we've hit a big roadblock. Our company software runs on a UNIX server, and until now everyone in the company uses either dedicated UNIX terminals, or terminal emulation software in windows. I was thrilled to learn that we could use the terminal in OSX to connect to the server, and it did not take long to get it to work.
The problem is the function keys. Almost all of the menu options in our company software require the use of the function keys, F1-F10. I was able to access F9 and up by pressing command-F9, etc. but we're now having issues with F3 and F4.
The computer in question is an intel macbook, and we have been using the fn key of course. The specific problem they showed me was with F3. In the software, it is supposed to lauch an extra menu, but pressing fn-F3 on the macbook results in an error ("number required", which is the message it would normally return if we tried to press return).

Your problem is two-sided, I think. The first is that you need to set Terminal to send the right escape sequence. This is done with the Inspector (CMD-I) and selecting Keyboard. Get the correct key mapping in there. The other side is to make sure the system isn't intercepting your intended keystroke, so go into System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Kwyboard shortcuts and make sure that the bindings you're using aren't enabled.

Problems with fuction keys for brightness

i have laptop hp 15 r006tx Product number: G8D30PA#ACJ
i have problems with functions keys for brightness , actually it does't works i can't actually adjust brightness, please help me.....................

OK...
I was right. You have no graphics driver installed for the Intel HD graphics adapter.
I am very surprised you were able to install the nVidia driver because usually you get an error that states you need to install the Intel graphics driver first.
Once you install this driver, the Microsoft Basic Display adapter should be replaced by an Intel HD graphics adapter and you should be able to adjust the screen brightness.
Make sure you have installed this Intel chipset driver first and reboot. If you have done this already, you can skip this step.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-130504-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Next, install the Intel HD graphics driver and reboot. This driver is for W8.1. If you installed W8, you need a different graphics driver.

Mapping problem with compressed key update record

Hi, could you please advise?
I'm getting the following problem:
About a week ago replicat abened with "Error in mapping" error. I found in discard file some record looking like:
filed1 = NULL
field2 =
field3 =
field4 =
field5 =
datefield = -04-09 00:00:00
field6 =
field8 =
field9 = NULL
field10 =
Where filed9 = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), field10 = = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), others are table fields mapped by USEDEFAULTS
So I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record at 2012-06-01 15:44
I guess I need to mention that extract failed in 5 minuts before it with: VAM function VAMRead returned unexpected result: error 600 - VAM Client Report <[CFileInfo::Read] Timeout expired after 10 retries with 1000 ms delay, waiting to read transaction log or backup files. To increase the number of retries, use SETENV (GGS_CacheRetryCount = n) in Extract parameter file. To control retry delay time, use SETENV (GGS_CacheRetryDelay = n). handle: 0000000000000398 ReadFile GetLastError:997 Wait GetLastError:997>.
I don't know if it has ther same source as data corruption, could you tell me if it is?
Well, I created new extract, starting 2012-06-01 15:30 to check if there was something with extract at the time, but got the same error.
If I run extract beging at 15:52 it starts and works.
But well, I got another one today. Data didn't look that bad, but yet one column came with null value:( And I'm using it as a key column, so I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record again:(
I'm replicating from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g.
I'm actually using NOCOMPRESSUPDATES in Extract.
CDC is enabled for all tables replicated. The only thing is that it is enabled not by ADD TRANDATA command, but by SQL Server sys.sp_cdc_enable_table, does it matter?
Could you please advise why does it happen?

Well, the problem begins somewhere in extract or before extract, may be in transaction log, I don't know:(

The SCRP_CODE column has a NOT NULL constraint. The ORA-01407 error is telling you that you cannot update or set a value for this column to null because of the constraint. This has absolutely nothing to do with an index. You can use a marker/sentinel value in lieu of using NULL. For a numeric field, where everything is positive, a negative value (-1) can be decoded as meaning null. For a character field, a code such as NA can represent NULL.
This also has nothing to do (directly) with GoldenGate failing because of this error. The underlying SQL statement will fail everywhere, regardless of the tool or application. It is not a case of failing only in GoldenGate.

Having problem with dead key in Leopard

Hello. I'm having problem with dead key in Leopard.
In Tiger it was working, but in Leopard dead key "'" doesn't work.
In Tiger I could use OPTION key as well to get Latvian special characters (both worked - OPTION Key and dead-key), but in LEOPARD OPTION key is the only possibility to get these characters.
How can I get dead key "'" working?
I'm using Latvian language with Latvian keyboard layout.
Here are images how it looked in Tiger:
1) Before dead key is pressed:
http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/1.tiff
2) After dead key is pressed:
http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/2.tiff

ok, i got answer
so - first problem was that ukelele didn't work in leopard (it wasn't possible to start new layout), but it was possible to edit Tom Gewecke posted layout.
There it is possible to change every thing (dead-key as well).
So I edited it and now i have layout where dead-key works -
http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/LatvianT.keylayout
Just do what Tom Gewecke said with this layout. It should work!

Problem with a key figure restriction

Hi,
I have a problem with one key figure in report: in infocube, this key figure is aggrigated for all the profit centers (summation). In infocube, there is a value '150' for each profit centers (100 pieces) and in the report it is counting 150*100=15000. However, it shouldn't count the sum of all entries in the infocube but show only one value in the report which would be '150'.
I think this should be possible to do but I just don't know how. Hope somebody is able to help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If the values are same for all profit center then change the Profit center infoobject property in the query design to show the maximum values for the 'calculation result as' parameter

Vishwa,

Problem with Internet Key Onda Mt835Up: It doesn't work with mac os 10.6.6

Hi I have a problem with internet key Onda MT835UP. It doesn't work, because my imac is more new than internet key.
Can you help me? Can you send me the upgrade for this internet key?
Thanks

I have called Onda, there isn't the driver for Mac OS X 10.6.7 and they don't know if it'll be released.
So if you have a Mac it's better to not buy Onda internet key,
instead it's better to choose other brands that update the drivers of their products.

Problems with Registration Key, VB 2008 Express Edition

VB 2008 Express Edition. Installed on a pc using Windows 8. Problem with registration key.
I was given an executable program by a colleague that had already been used and I am currently making changes to the program to fit the specifics of my project. Thirty days after I started analyzing/manipulating the code, when I tried to open the program
a pop-up came up that stated that I needed a registration key. When I click on the link on the pop-up to try to obtain a registration key, the link takes me to a page that states "the page doesn't exist" (http://www.microsoft.com/404.htm).
That said, instead of trying to obtain a registration key I then downloaded a new version of VB 2008 Express Edition from Microsoft DreamSpark. I successfully downloaded the program. The website stated that if I ever needed a registration key, I could obtain
it from within the program. However, even still, when I try to open up VB, the pop-up still comes up that states that I need a registration key.
Does anyone have any suggestions or quick fixes? Thanks

I'm not sure that registration keys are available any more for the 2008 version. There have been three versions since then (2010, 2012 and 2013) and a fourth (2015) is currently being previewed.
Is there any reason why you can use the current version? Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition is free for individuals and small companies.

Java API, problem with secondary keys using multi key creator

Hi,
I'm developing an application that inserts a few 100k or so records into a Queue DB, then access them using one of four Hash SecondaryDatabases. Three of these secondary dbs use a SecondaryMultiKeyCreator to generate the keys, and one uses a SecondaryKeyCreator. As a test, I'm trying to iterate through each secondary key. When trying to iterate through the keys of any of the secondary databases that use a SecondaryMultiKeyCreator, I have problems. I'm attempting to iterate through the keys by:
1: creating a StoredMap of the SecondaryDatabase
2: getting a StoredKeySet from said map
3: getting a StoredIterator on said StoredKeySet
4: iterate
The first call to StoredIterator.next() fails at my key binding (TupleBinding) because it is only receiving 2 bytes of data for the key, when it should be getting more, so an Exception is thrown. I suspected a problem with my SecondaryMultiKeyCreator, so I added some debug code to check the size of the DatabaseEntries it creates immediately before adding them to the results key Set. It checks out right. I also checked my key binding like so:
1: use binding to convert the key object to a DatabaseEntry
2: use binding to convert the created DatabaseEntry back to a key object
3: check to see if the old object contains the same data as the new one
Everything checked out ok.
What it boils down to is this: my key creator is adding DatabaseEntries of the correct size to the results set, but when the keys are being read back later on, my key binding is only receiving 2 bytes of data. For the one SecondaryDatabase that doesn't use a SecondaryMultiKeyCreator, but just a SecondaryKeyCreator, there are no issues and I am able to iterate through its secondary keys as expected.
EDIT: New discovery: if I only add ONE DatabaseEntry to the results set in my SecondaryMultiKeyCreator, I am able to iterate through the keys as I would like to.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you for your attention,
-Justin

Hi Justin,
Sorry about the delayed response here. I have created a patch that resolves the problem.
If you apply the patch to your 4.6.21 source tree, and then rebuild Berkeley DB, the improper behavior should be resolved.
Regards,
Alex

Problem with Restricted Key figure!

Hello BW Gurus,
Currently I am having problem with a report that is using a restricted key figure in the formula. When I filter down this restricted key figure, it is working fine but when I use this restricted key figure in formula that calculate greater than value, its giving me wrong figure and when I calculate less then value, its giving me zero total result. I am drilling down this restricted KF on a hierarchy. Did I miss any setting or do I need to do anything extra for this?
Please let me know and thanks in Advance,
Vaghar.

In that case create two calculated keyfigures CKF1 and CKF2 such that
CKF1 = ((Count >100)*1 + 0)
CKF2 = (Count<100)*1 + 0)
and then define Greater Count as a formula such that
Greater Count = Count (CKF1)
and similarly Lesser Count = Count (CKF2).
where Count is a data function which gives a value of 1 when the operand <>0 and returns a 0 when the operand = 0.
Hope this helps.

MiniSAP - Problems with developer key

Hi @all,
today, I started installing the Minisap System on my PC. (SAP NetWeaver Sneak Preview on MaxDB).
After the installation I logged on to the System with the User "BCUSER".
I started t-code "SE38" to start developing some ABAP programms.
Now, I have to insert a valid developer key, which I can - according to the Installation Guide - find on<a href="http://www.sap.com/technology/minisap">http://www.sap.com/technology/minisap</a>.
The key I found there is: 29671482393151224771
So I entered this key in the field, but my System said, it was an invalid key.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
I checked many potential nonconformities, but had no success:
- I definitly inserted the correct key found on the website, because I used the copy and paste function.
- I restarted both the instance and after that the whole pc.
- I installed a new valid 90-day license key from SAP
- My SID is definitly "NSP", Installation-Number: "DEMOSYSTEM"
Does anyone has an Idea, how I can resolve this problem? Is there another developer key available for the NSP WebAS 6.40 System?
Thank you for answering
Best regards
Ralf

Thank you,
I tried to solve my problem on the way you said, but again, the error message "invalid key" appeared.
Is it possible, that there is a general problem with my installation?
Is there anyone else with the same problem?
Regards
Ralf

Office Home and Student 2010 Install problems with a Key Code Err..

I had to install a new hard drive, lost everything..So I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional ..
I own a the 2010 Home and Student CD bought at the Microsoft store...Doesn't come with Outlook...
So I ordered the Home and Business 2010 disc with Service Pack 1 Included, this has 2010 outlook ...It loaded and worked fine up to the point I had to replace my Drive with New Windows 7 Pro...
Everything loaded find, but every time I try and use it, its acts like it is caught in some kind of loop...It keep trying install and configure, then ask for my Key Code every time, sort of like a OLMAP132.Dll err...I did manage to make it work once, I even
got back the test email from Microsoft after setting up Outlook....Then when I rebooted the system, this same loop action started ...
I have uninstalled this at least 4 times, searched for anything with ties to Microsoft office, and uninstalled it..Then did a New Clean Install...Still getting this key Code question every time I open up a Office program....So, I am saying without a doubt,
2010 Office Home and Student and Business WILL NOT RUN on Windows 7 professional ......If you have any idea how to fix this..Please respond with facts on how to repair this please....

Greta,,,After down loading ( Off Cat ) tools...I saved that program...However, there is another major problem with Your Instructions I ran into...It seems I'm not the trusted source to change files such as the Mapi32.dll files..So I was unable to attempt
your repair ...However I have found instructions for the task, but it seems very complicated for sure.. Here are the instructions, and I would like for you and maybe a co-worker to check these.. before I make any changes in system..
How to Change the Trusted Installer name...
1. Right Click on the File Or directory.
2.Click On properties, on the Right Click menu.
3.Click On "" Security "" tab
4.Click On " Advanced" Button on the bottom.
5.In the advance Security Dialog Window, Click on "" Owner "" tab
6.Here you will able to see the Current Owner ( ie: Trusted Installed )
7. To take owner ship of the object, click on the Edit button, Give permission to UAC , the highlight the user name in the " Change Owner To" box that you want to assign as the owner for the object. Then Click " OK " to finish the process.
8.Back in the Advanced Security Settings Window , You will see the current owner has changed to the user you just selected.
9.Click the ""OK "" and exit this window.
10. Click "'OK"" again, to exit completely from the Properties window..
11. Repeat Step 1 to 4 to open the object's Properties Window again...
12.Back in Object's Properties window, click on the edit button , and confirm the UAC elevation request.
13. Highlight the Administrators in the " group of users names"" box. If the user ID or group that you want to manage the permissions for the object doesn't exist, Click on.."" Add"" button, and type in the user name or
group name desired into the "" Enter Object names to select ( can use Everyone as user Name)" box and finish off by clicking on the "" OK""
14. In the permissions for Administrators box below ( or any other user name or group name you choose). click on ""Full Control"" under the ""Allow"" column to assign full access rights control permission to Administrator's
group....
