Setting Safari Keyboard Shortcutsin System Preferences

Hello All,
I'm currently experiencing some problems setting keyboard shortcuts for Safari in System Preferences. Here is what I have done:
1) Close Safari
2) Open up "System Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts"
3) Add "Safari" to "Application Shortcuts", and add the shortcut (currently being used by for a different shortcut)
4) Open Safari
In order for my shortcut to work, I must go to the tab at the tob of the screen where the shortcut is located.
In my case, i'm using Clear History as the shortcut, with the shortcut being Apple-H (which is being used for Hide). Initially Apple-H continues to Hide. The only time where the shortcut Apple-H works for Clear History, as set in Keyboard Shortcuts, is when I click on History and see the the Clear History shortcut set as Apple-H.
I find the Keyboard Shortcut kind of useless as the only time I can use the custom Keyboard Shortcut is when I click on the History tab at the top of the screen.
Please note that I have tried other shortcuts for Clear History and they do not work. Other shortcuts do work.
Anyway I can get Keyboard Shortcuts to be permanent, and not require me to click on the History Tab to get them to work.
Thanks!
Devin

What is your system preference >> keyboard shortcut set to for Dashboard, is it F12 or CMD F12?
If you are not holding down CMD, and your OS is 10.5.5 or 10.5.6 then you may have another problem. See below

Attempting to set Screen Saver causes System Preferences to crash

EVERY time I go to the System Preferences and try to set the Screen Saver, System Preferences crashes
I moved the .../user/library/preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist.saved and com.apple.systempreferences.plist files out of the directory to my desktop and the problem still happens.
What can I do? Is there a way to remove the screen savers one by one and see if one of them is the cause? Or is there perhaps some other problem?
I get crashes in iPhoto, iWeb, Mail, iCal, Address Book, and Safari, too, but much less often. Is it just bad hardware?

Ferd II -
From your articles I found a reference to Yasu for Mac OS 10.4. (I tried about 5 other things first to no avail...)
Running Yasu in it's default configuration fixed my problem, made my system boot faster after that first reboot, and seems to have given my entire MacBook a nice theraputic massage.
Some items that seemed slower at first after running Yasu are:
image caches in applications
well, lo and behold! caching of anything in applications. Which is what SHOULD happen since Yasu wipes out caches. With that understanding, I can say that running Yasu is going to be the first thing I do whenever I am trying randonm fix-its on weird problems.
Thank you, Dr. Smoke!
Thank YOU Ferd II!
And YASU, THANK YOU MOST OF ALL!

I have changed default language in the program & have set Language & region in system preferences. My Word (Mac2011) keeps on changing the default language to US english every time I check. Please help!

If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Setting function keys in System Preferences?

Can you use applescript to access the volume setting "input level" in system preferences?

I want to make a script that adjusts the output volume of my mac based on the volume that the mic hears. I am not very good with applescript, but I do know how to control the volume. I was wondering if there was a command that retrieved the input level from the mic as it is show in the sound preferences in the system preferences window. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Does the following script do what you are asking for?
get volume settings
set theInput to input volume of result
set volume output volume theInput

Mail, Skype, Safari and some system preferences not opening

I wonder if anyone else has had this problem....my mac starts up but seems to skip loading things at the loading screen when it boots - When it gets to the desktop, Skype, mail (mac default program), and Safari do not open when clicked - I tried to go to user accounts in system preferences and that fails to open also - AIM, Fireofx and Transmit (FTP program) all work fine and are able to connect to the interent - It has done this before (months ago) and I ended up having to do a system restore to go back to factory settings - Yesterday it started this again and after 1/2 hour mail just popped open and all was well - It has been on for 4 hours so far and none of those programs are working - Has anyone else had issues like this ? any suggestions? I am using a Power Mac G5 cpu 1.8ghz and 1.25 gb of ram and 10.3.9 for system version - Any help is greatly appreciated
thanks

Have you done the basics? Repaired permissions, cleared caches, run cron jobs, booted from DVD and run disk repair etc.?
It seems that when you did a restore, which I presume is an archive and install, it cleared up then over time whatever you do is corrupting things or the drive is on its last legs. Add a new drive (cheap) , clone the boot drive to it with Super Duper (free) and boot from that for a while.

How to set the region in system preferences?

Hi all. I just bought my macbook pro with retina. I choose the country as United States when I set up the mac. After that it asks me whether to transfer documents from another PC. So I transfered my documents to the new mac. There are some Chinese documents.
Now calendar displays the dates in Chinese instead of English. I tried to set the region to US in system preferences and restart the system, but it always change back to "Chinese" in the region tag.
How can I make my mac into a pure English one?
Thanks a lot!

Is monitor calibration the same as setting color profile in System Preferences Monitor Color?

I understand monitor calibration using something llike X-Rite or Gretag, but what about the sRGB/Adobe RGB/Generic thing in System preferences>Monitor>Color? Is the latter for printing purposes? What should I select when doing post processing on Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop Elements?

{quote:}After working on my photographs in Lightroom and setting them to Jpegs, I take them to a printshop (semi professional). Would the personal setting on my iMac make any differences to him for printing???{quote}
Yes your Display Profile will slightly affect your finished product, but if that RGB profile is working for you then don't try and fix it. However if you do professional or semi professional work, then you might want to consider using professional calibration tools to calibrate your display.
See > http://www.lightroomkillertips.com/
{quote:}What do you use most on your iMac?{quote}
I only do amateur photo work and then print them on an Epson printer. When editing and printing photos, I use the Epson sRGB Display Profile that was installed along with my Epson software and always get great results.

Safari hang ups & Systems Preferences

Hi. I've read the various recent postings about Safari crashes with interest, as I'm experiencing something very similar. I'm away from my Mac at the moment so I can't tell if the solutions posted by Hawaiian Starman and others will work (I'm sure they will), but there's an additional element to my situation that may be worth a separate thread.
Following success with previous advice on this forum I have tried to check my System Preferences. As soon as I do, I get a pop up window telling my another application has changed my Systems Preferences. When I close the window in order to look at the Preferences to find out what's changed, the same window pops up and I have to force a quit.
It seems obvious that I have a trojan of some kind, but I don't know where to find it or how to remove it! I've got the DNS Changer removal tool (having downloaded it on advice here to amend a previous problem) and it's not that.
Any suggestions are very welcome!
Thanks.

Unable to set login items in System Preferences

Hi!
I have a mobile account maintained by mac os x server 10.4.10. I upgraded clients to leopard. When I want to display the login items pane from System Preferences I get the following log entry:
01.11.07 18:18:19 System Preferences[1315] * Assertion failure in -[LoginItemCell _objectValue:forString:errorDescription:], /SourceCache/AppKit/AppKit-949/AppKit.subproj/NSCell.m:1338

01.11.07 18:18:19 System Preferences[1315] Invalid parameter not satisfying: aString != nil
The login items pane isn't shown completed. There are some fragments displayed. When I want to close System Preferences I need to "Force Quit" it.
Any ideas?
Thanx
Gerhard

Meanwhile I found a workaround.
There is a file called "loginwindow.plist" located at ~/Library/Preferences.
Usually the file looks like as followed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Hide</key>
<true/>
<key>Path</key>
<string>/Library/Application Support/EyeTV/EyeTV Helper.app</string>
</dict>
</array>
<key>BuildVersionStampAsNumber</key>
<integer>18892960</integer>
<key>BuildVersionStampAsString</key>
<string>9A581</string>
<key>SystemVersionStampAsNumber</key>
<integer>168099840</integer>
<key>SystemVersionStampAsString</key>
<string>10.5</string>
</dict>
</plist>
You can edit this file manually by adding a <dict> entry between the <array> tag like it is done above.
It works!
There is only one question left: How do I specify a file path located in my home place? Using "~" as home location ends in not finding the file. Any ideas?
Thanx

Some of the trackpad gestures like App Exposé and switching between fullscreen apps not working, even though I specifically set them on in system preferences. How do I fix this?

They were working up until today and I didn't update anything and my trackpad is still working otherwise.

I've tried looking in the Preferences menu, which had nothing that could help me.
PS In 10.6, there is a Kotoeri preferences box at the bottom of the first tab called "Show Predicted Candidates". Is this checked for you? (I think in 10.4 this is still in Japanese and might be different). In the third tab, there is also a setting related to the number of conversions. And in the last two tabs there are dictionaries that can be either open or closed. I gather you have tried all of these without success?

Time Machine, Safari, and Spaces (System Preferences)

I just notice that, with Spaces enabled when I click on the Time Machine icon in the dock while working on an Space that not have a finder window open, it switches Spaces, but it will not go to Time Machine mode. It does not happens it i click on the menu bar and select Enter Time Machine Now. UPDATE: It seems that the problem only happens when Safari is the active application.

I thought I had it, but it was not. So after I enable it to open in "every space" the problem is gone. Not sure if I had the same problem before SL.

IMac System Preferences Keyboard Shortcut Settings have disappeared ... ?

Hi all,
Yesterday and again today, the Keyboard Shortcuts, System Preferences pain is empty on my Intel iMac running Lion/10.7. IE: the Settings options under Keyboard Preferences isn't populating any options, it's just empty.
This happens on and off throughout the day and no amount of waiting, restarting, opening/closing apps, re-syncing my aluminum Apple bluetooth keyboard, or checking for updates has helped.
Is anyone else having this issue and if so, is there a 'fix?' As I am typing this the settings started showing options once again, so the screenshot I was going to include is rather obsolete as far as helping give a better understanding of the issue, but I am including a shot of the Keyboard Settings pane when it is properly displaying items, just for app/preference clarification.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Eric,
yes, restart is done after removing the user library. Still, the shortcuts are in the system preferences pane.
To explain why I'm after these files: I'm not trying to clear the settings, i'm actually trying to find the file, so i might safe/load them on different users.
My biggest bet did not work: ~/Library.
Is there any other location where I will find saves user settings?

In System Preferences, and CDs &DVDs, I've set the drop-down menu for audio CDs to open iTunes. can anyone tell me why it always reverts to Ignore?

Can anyone help me figure out why the setting in System Preferences and CDs & DVDs will always revert to Ignore when I set the drop-down menu to When you insert a music CD, to Open ITunes? I've tried iTunes Help and it told me exactly what I have been doing. I've even tried downloading iTunes again, to no avail. If anyone has had the same problem, please let me know. I would very much appreciate it.

In iTunes Preferences not system preferences under the General Tab there is a drop down in the lower part letting you specify what action to take when a CD is inserted
Show CD
Begin Playing
Ask To Import
Import CD
Import and Eject
I believe this setting adds to the system preferences
In system Preferences I have
