Safari "jumping" to top & bottom, plus keyboard lighting...

Since upgrading to Mac OS X 10.6.8, when I try to scroll down webpage it keeps "jumping" back to the top multiple times before I can finally get it to scroll down. Also, when I search on google it jumps to the bottom of the page. It didn't do this before the upgrade -- is it a setting?? I have searched and can't find an answer.
Same with the backlight on the keyboard. I can't get it to stay on. I've tried the solutions I've found (change energy saving settings, push fn and F6, and selecting "illuminate keyboard in low light conditions" but it still goes off after a while. Didn't do this before.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

There is no quick way of doing it, either scroll or exit the album access a different album then access the previous album again and you will be back on top

  • Keyboard shortcut for top/bottom of mailbox list

    Hi,
    I have some large mailboxes, and when in the middle of the listing it is a pain to have to scroll all the way to the top/bottom to get to the most recent messages (mailbox ordered by date).
    Home and end keys don't seem to work - is there another keyboard shortcut that can jump to top or bottom, or is it possible to do something with applescript to enable this? (I am a mac beginner so would appreciate any help)

    Is there a solution for this? I too have several people with large mailboxes who regularly need to jump to the top or bottom.
    Control/Page Up or Down scrolls the mailbox by a page, but I can't find the shortcut to jump to the top or bottom. Does anyone know what it is?
    Thanks,
    -Terry

  • Jumping to the bottom or top of a photo album?

    Just wondering whether there was a way on the iPhone to jump directly to the bottom or top of a photo album, like the Safari jump to the top tap? Would be very useful for photo albums in the hundreds.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to jump to the bottom of my library?

    Surely there is such a thing, but I can't find it and it's killing me. I'm using Apple's wireless keyboard if that makes a diff. Thanks!

    Look for the "End" key; that will jump to the bottom. Note that this doesn't change which track is currently selected, only which tracks are showing in the view. On Apple laptops, the "End" key is the right arrow key when you hold down the "fn" key.

  • N900 Physical keyboard lights not working

    Hi,
    Physical keyboard lights are not working when display is fully up. Keyboard lights work only when display is halfway up. Lights go off just a millimeter before when display reach it top position.
    Can anyone suggest is this a software issue or there is something physically wrong with phone (slider-switch is slightly misplaced or broken)?
    Thanks. 
    Solved!

    Thanks to all for content-rich reply..
    -> to cpitchford: I downloaded package and entered the commands you suggested. X terminal reply after "sudo gainroot" was "Enable  RD mode if you want to break your phone". I'm not at home with RD mode, so I rather don't mess with it.. After all it was mentioned to just monitor when the switch is on/off? Keyboard light comes ON when display bottom edge reaches middle of Q-letter (on keyboard) and go OFF after the "clunk". Then, if I slightly press down the display (1mm) the keyboard lights come ON again.
    _> to DrEJV  :I think the background light sensor is working OK - when I cover the light sensor with finger ,display dimes slightly. Problem is that keyboard light don't work at all when display is fully open, not even in total backround blackout.
    Think that there might be wrong something with physical switch, as jlpils suggested, because now I know that they SHOULD be lighted
    thanks again 

  • Problem with Battery and Keyboard Light

    First off, sorry if this is in the wrong section. This is my first time on these forums.
    Just today I was skyping my girlfriend on my Macbook Pro (that I got in the summer or 2010). I have SmcFanControl installed and I regularly use it to monitor/increase my fan speed. As I regularly skype and play WoW on this computer, my computer temp often sits around 160-170 degrees F.
    Today it was at around 170 and I had it on my lap. I sat up and jostled the computer a little and it shut off. The power cord light, which was green, immediately turned off. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in and it stayed off. The computer wouldnt restart for about 30 seconds. Finally after hitting the power button several times it turned on.
    It worked fine for 10 or so minutes. I assumed I just moved it too suddenly, although I have never had a problem with that before. Then, I moved again and it shut off AGAIN. It took another 30 seconds to register the power cord and to turn on.
    This time, when it booted up, it said my clock was set to a date before 2008, althought it was still at Feb 16, 2011. Also, as soon as I turned it on, the fans were going full speed (as loud as when i have SmcFanControl set at 6200 rpm). I opened SmcFancontrol and it says my computer's temp is at 32 Degrees F and 000 rpm, which I know is not correct. I can't change the speed of the fans and the temp of the computer hasnt changed at all.
    Also, my battery icon has an X through it and says "No batteries available" "Power Source: Power Adapter." The green light is very dim on the charger.
    AND on top of this, my keyboard lights no longer turn on, even pushing F5 and F6. I am in a dim room so they should auto turn on.
    I am afraid that I may have overheated the computer, but I was wondering if anyone has any advice. I was thinking of opening the back up but I dont have a small enough screwdriver at the momment. I also tried doing the "top -u -s3" command to check cpu% and my highest one is Firefox around 10-15%.
    Any help would be appreciated. I'm thinking this is gonna require a look at the Apple Store, however I am an out of state college student and I'm not returning home for another week and I need my computer for assignments.
    Sorry for the wall of text. Thanks in advance.
    P.S. My computer is up to date.

    SMC reset works best with anything that relies on power for the machine. When it comes to batteries SMC reset and PRAM usually do the trick. Also a lot of people miss this, do not plug on the top plugs use the lower plug.
    As for the temperature on the lap, expect a lot of heat, the computers are designed to lay on flat SOLID surfaces. The underbelly on aluminum chassis laptops act as a heatsink. In addition the rubber feet keep the product high enough so air can pass through and help cool the system.
    As far as the adapter you can have AppleCare send you without waiting a week for it. If it is an obvious hardware problem they may do an exception for you if you are out of phone support. Highly recommend APP for the phone support. You would have a battery on it's way to your current location in a couple days!

  • I just bought a Macbook pro and the keyboard lights flash on and off.  What's wrong? do I need to take it back?

    ahhhh help!

    you can switch off the automatic lighting of the keyboard by going to system preferences then keyboard and uncheck 'automatically illuminate keyboard in low light' . after this you can control your keyboard light by using the buttons F5 and F6 at the top of your keyboard

  • How to stop keyboard lighting change?

    Ok so my question is pretty straight forward, I want to know how I can stop the illuminated keyboard from changing lighting levels when I go from a dark room to a lit room.
    For example, lets say I'm in a dark room and I illuminate the keyboard on the MBP by about two levels, if I take my laptop to my bathroom and switch the light on the keyboard illumination level jumps to like the 8th level. I want to make it so that when I go in between the lit room and dark room that the keyboard lighting does not change levels.

    It is unchecked, and I think the setting your talking about has to do with the keyboard illuminating by itself when it's in the dark, what I am trying to fix is the illumination levels on my keyboard from changing from low to high when I take my MBP from a low lit room to a bright room.
    I'm starting to think theirs no setting to change what is going on.  :/

  • 17"MBP(2011) has no keyboard lights

         Question saya it all. Please help.

    There are some sensors, probably beyond the top edge of the keyboard, that are intended to turn on the keyboard lights when the light levels are low enough. Normally, the light levels do not require the keyboard lights, so they stay off.
    There are also some configuartion options in System Preferences > Keyboard.

  • How to adjust the green (starting) and the red (end) rectangles pixel by pixel (top, bottom, left and right) by changing the number of pixels in ken burns.

    How to adjust the green (starting) and the red (end) rectangles pixel by pixel (top, bottom, left and right) by changing the number of pixels in ken burns. Help please.

    If you look closely at the top of the canvas pane, as you move either of the boxes (green or red) there is an indication of pixel positions... "top, bottom, left, right," and "scale."
    Admittedly, it doesn't seem as if you can "enter" the dimensions with your keyboard, however, as you move the boxes, you have a real time indication of the boxs' locations.
    (I couldn't take a screen shot, as you have to actively move the box with a mouse or other input device... thus, I could not also take a screen shot with same device.)
    I hope this helps.

  • My mac keyboard lights are not working

    hi..
    i m using mac pro 13... suddenly lights of my the keyboard is went off...i restart the machine by nothing happen.. the problem is still same only..plz help me out...
    thanks,
    jatin

    What do you have in System Preferences, Keyboard under "Adjust keyboard brightness..."?
    What happens when you push F6 to increase the keyboard light intensity?
    Normally, if you have that checked, the keyboard lights only come on if the ambient light level is sufficiently low.  They go out when the light level gets high enough.  (Sorry if I am stating the obvious.)  The sensor is at the top of the display, where the camera is.  If you cover the camera lens, do the lights come on?  (You may have to turn up the light intensity with F6.)
    Try unchecking that preference box.
    If nothing else works, try resetting the NVRAM.
    If that doesn't work, you probably will have to take your machine in for servicing.

  • C6-00 keyboard light not working....

    Recently when i sms using keyboard on phone suddenly the light on keyboard turn off and i still typing a work...Any solution for this...Plus when my keyboard turn off my LCD light still on....Also did we nid to bring our phone to nokia center to service?When?FOC?

    Hi,
    There are light sensors in the C6-00, the keyboard light will switch on only when the sensors sense that the phone/ keyboard is in dark place.. if there is sufficient light (or light falling on the sensors) then the keyboard light doesnt glow.
    Hope this helps!
