Several keyboard access dead ends

1. Is it possible to focus the Finder's sidebar with a keyboard? I'm having no luck.
2. Ditto iTunes?
3. I'm having a problem focusing some system preferences with a keyboard. For instance, I just tried to change Menu Translucency with no luck. Anybody know a way?
4. Contacts cannot be added to the address book (it's not possible to change the default categories, or make new ones, without clicking the annoying arrows and + signs).
5. Is it possible to focus iChat message text? This is very imporant to me. For instance, it's impossible to follow a hyperlink that someone sends me without reaching for my mouse.
6. Could someone explain what "Move Focus to the Window Toolbar" actually does? (Default: ctrl-F5). More directly: what qualifies as a Window Toolbar?
7. Could someone explain what "Move Focus Between Controls or text boxes and lists" does? (default: ctrl-F7). How can I spot a "control" vs a "text box" vs a "list"?

VoiceOver is not just for vision-impairments. You might try opening VoiceOver utility and turning off the voice (and maybe the sound effects). At this point, you have full keyboard access to all parts of the OS and any application that implements the Cocoa accessibility APIs. This includes the Finder, iChat, iTunes, Mail, etc.
Tip: Go through the VoiceOver Quick Start (ControlOption+CommandF8) when you first start VoiceOver. This will help you learn it, then you can turn off the voice once you get comfortable with the navigation interface.

  • Need help getting around the following error: JBO-27101: Attempt to access dead entity in EO.

    Hi everyone,
    My logic in prepareForDML() updates some attributes (shown in the snippet below) based on whether an insert or update is taking place. But, when I delete a line, I get the following error: JBO-27101: Attempt to access dead entity in EO. So far, I have not been able to catch this error.
            if (operation == DML_INSERT) {
                setLineId((new SequenceImpl("eo_s",

    Hi Timo,
    Thanks for responding. Whenever I delete a line and commit, I get the error. And, since inserts and updates are all that I am interested in, I did not think that I needed deletion logic. The VO contains several EOs, but all are reference EOs that cannot be updated except for the main EO.

  • No keyboard access in bootcamp after upgrade to Early 2008 MacBook Pro

    How do I regain keyboard access in Bootcamp after a hardware upgrade to a new (early 2008) 15" MacBook Pro (MBP)?
    I was recently forced to upgrade from a July 2007 MBP 15" to an early 2008 MBP due to a burglary. The original MBP also had a Bootcamp partition in use for business purposes (Windows XP SP2).
    Fortunately using Time Capsule and WinClone I had very recent back ups of all data and migration to the new MBP went well until I encountered an insurmountable problem at the point I wished to update the new MPB Bootcamp drivers in the restored Bootcamp partition.
    The problem being encountered is as follows:
    When starting up in the restored Bootcamp partition I am unable to update the with the latest Bootcamp drivers as the keyboard is inoperative. I am therefore unable to get past the CtrlAltDel security pane and navigate to load the Leopard install disk.
    I do however have mouse control.
    I have also tried rebooting with an external keyboard and mouse. Again the mouse worked but not the keyboard.
    To add further confusion or insight into this problem I had a BartPE Windows CD utility disk set-up available for emergency use and this will boot on the new MBP. Once booted it does provide mouse and keyboard access suggesting that somehow in the WinClone restoring process the original keyboard driver was damaged.
    This may well be the case as when I first started up the Bootcamp partition after the restore I encountered a Windows 'blue screen of death' that pointed to a Driver fault in a file called "bcmw15.sys".
    After restarting Windows I no longer encountered the blue screen but had no keyboard access as described above.
    Unforunately using the BartPE CD to bypass the keyboard problem has thwarted me as this configuration does not appear to have a means available to eject the BartPE CD itself, allowing me to then insert the Leopard install disk in its place.
    Given the unique nature of the Windows system configuration I had in use any suggestions as to how I might overcome this without having to resort to rebuilding the configuration from scratch would be gratefully received.
    In particular if anyone may know of the MacBook Pro Windows keyboard driver name and location this would be of particular assistance.
    Dion

    Booting from the Windows Install CD did not work.
    I have however recovered the partition and got operational again.
    The solution in the end was achieved by gaining access via Windows XP start-up in 'safe mode' using an external MS USB keyboard (the new MBP 'delete' key was not being recognised, and then using the 'Administrator' password to gain access to the Windows XP 'Device Manager'.
    The full saga of difficulties encountered is too lengthy to relate in full unless someone out there really wants to know the gory details for their own specific similar need.
    Suffice it to say that the most of the problems that arose were:
    a) the result of the hardware changes between the old MBP and the new one requiring select old drivers to be located and removed and then new drivers installed;
    b) due to an upgrade that occurred to the MS Enterprise server software in the period between when the WinClone image was taken and when the new MPB arrived and I attempted the restore (including that as a consequence of the burglary I updated my corporate mailbox password online causing the back-up XP image to be out of sync with Enterprise server once networking was revived); and
    c) a Parallels software upgrade reinstall also caused issues in regaining sync with the revived Bootcamp.
    Isolating the driver causing the offending ""bcmw15.sys" driver crash proved very tricky as Windows appeared to keep reinstalling some sort of generic driver that kept repeating the problem. Thereafter getting past the blocks to accessing the Apple install CD also required enormous trial and error skill to overcome.
    Bottom line WinClone did perform. It restored the partition on the new machine with sufficient integrity to allow a skilled Sys Op (far beyond my Win experience) the capability to fully restore Bootcamp XP functionality.
    Nevertheless the process is definitely not one I'd prefer to experience a repeat of - its taken several man days (and nights) to resolve.
    Nevertheless thanks xnav for your advice.
    Regards
    Dion

  • Re: - List View keyboard access

    Joseph,
    Have you tried this method with the ListView widget under Win95/NT4.
    I have used this method myself with other types of widgets, but it
    doesnt seem to work with the ListView?
    For some reason, the Default button is not default when the focus is
    inside the ListView.

    Hello Dave,
    i have to use the Enter-Button in all my Application. The second part
    of your message is the right solution. You have to create an <enter_button>
    - widget.
    1. Create an Enter-Button Widget in the Windows-Workshop and set it to the
    default Button.
    2. In the Display-Method (or Event-Handler) write following:
    when self.Window.Form.Traverse(source=source,dest=target) do
    if dest.name.isequal('enter_button') then
    source.NextTabfield.RequestFocus();
    end if;
    3. To hide the Enter-Button write:
    <enter_button>.widthinpixels=1;
    <enter_button>.heightinpixels=1;
    4. You have to say which Nexttabfield have to follow e.g:
    <FieldWidget1>.NextTabField=<FieldWidget2>;
    <FieldWidget2>.NextTabField=<FieldWidget3>;
    ... (and so on).
    This above makes the solution for using the Enter-Button.
    If you have an Array-Field or something else, which use an Array (e.g.
    Array-Field).
    You have to do it explicit by using the Array's Functionality instead of
    the widget one. This means:
    rownum : integer;
    rownum = self.<{ArrayFieldname}>.GetRowForField(field =
    {ArrayFieldWidget});
    Now you know the selected Field of the Array.
    Hope this helps

  • How to implement Oracle user/role security with Access front end?

    Hi,
    We have successfully migrated our Access database tables to Oracle 10g using SQL developer. We've recreated all the users and roles(i.e., access groups) in Oracle and granted rights to tables.
    In the Access front end database, in the Database window we have saved linked Oracle tables which replaced the Access tables. The forms, reports, queries run fine with the linked Oracle tables. All the linked table use one ODBC DSN to the Oracle database with the same Oracle user id.
    We need to be able to authenticate users into the Oracle database and RE-link the tables based on their own unique user id. By during so we can allow users to use the Oracle standard user id/role and system privileges to control select, update, ect. rights to the database.
    I've been able to use the VB code within Access to logon into the database with a unique id, but I have not been able to find out how to RE-link the tables to the unique user id using VB. There should be some way to relink tables dynamically, based on users login into the Access front end.
    I don't know a great deal about Access projects, but I do know with SQL server allows login into your Access project and link tables dynamically.
    Can someone give me some assistance or point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance,
    Larry

    We had one of our programmers here come up with a VB code solution for re-linking table within Access. However the relinking takes 3-4 minutes for 100+ tables.
    In an effort to help you understand the situation better, I will attempt to elaborate on the problem:
    We have an Access 2003 application which currently has a front end using Access(forms, reports, queries, & VB code) and a MS Access 2003 backend.
    We have migrated the backend tables to Oracle. However, we still have a need to maintain the front end in Access, since we have over 60 forms, 40 reports, 200+ queries in Access. Its easy to understand, we have a significant investment in the front end(Obviously, the plan is to migrate the front end also at some future date).
    In order to utilized the existing front end, we have to validate and modify the current front end connections to the new Oracle backend. One of the features of Access is that you can "link" tables and save the link for runtime. Each Access table can have its own link which is a separate ODBC/JET connection. As such, each separate link has its own userid/database information.
    The other issue with using the Access front-end is that Access utilizes a workgroup file to implement user and group security. The workgroup file contains all the users and which groups the users belong to in Access. Then within Access, you allow users access to object(tables, queries, ect) by their userid and or group. When users open an Access database with Access security enabled, they are required to log into Access. The login is authenticated by the workgroup file. Once, logged into Access, users have rights to Access objects based on their rights granted to their userid and groups they belong. The problem here is that when you remove the linked Access tables and replace them with linked Oracle tables, Access has knowledge about Oracle table rights granted to users; nor would you expect it to.
    The dilema is the disconnect between Access and the fact Oracle utilizes a similar but much more sophisticated security model. It creates users and roles(which are similar to Access groups), and again this is independent of Access security.
    Our solution was to still use the Access workgroup file security along with the Oracle security model. By using the Access userid and then creating a similar Oracle userid with similar table rights granted in Access, you could apply security within Access and also with the Oracle database.
    For example, a user BOB logs into Access via the workgroup file, using VB code, Access then establishes a Oracle connection logining into Oracle using the same unique userid BOB into Oracle.
    After connecting and validating user BOB into Oracle, then the Access tables are relinked to Oracle using the user BOB userid and table rights.
    This Oracle userid has been granted table rights specific for this userid.This allows the user BOB to use the Access application and still be authenticated into the Oracle database.
    The problem with this solution is that the relinking of the saved Access tables takes 3-7 minutes for about 100+ tables. This is not acceptable for users each time they log into the application.
    Our current alternative is to use one Oracle userid to login each user, and use Access form restrictions/security to allow/prevent users from updating/viewing data. Obviously, this is not the optimal solution in respect to security, but it at least allows us to control access to the data(via the forms) by using one logon required for each user, and quick startup time for the application.
    I understand SQL server does a better job in integration, but we use Oracle which is what I am trying to work with.

  • Toggle Full Keyboard Access is Not Working after Shutdown/Reboot

    Hi,
    I'm yet another keyboard maniac and somehow as above subject was keep re-occured every time after enabled it, I've turn it on full keyboard access in system preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. All seemed to be good before I shutdown or reboot my macbook pro. I could access all the dialogs and windows. After a reboot or shutdown, all the dialogs from any other apps can still be accessed via keyboard except one single window, the shutdown window (both from hitting apple->shutdown and control+eject.) I have to toggle control+f1 or control+f7 every freaking time in order to enabled keyboard access to shutdown/reboot. I've tried "defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode" in terminal and it returned 3 which is "Full Keyboard Access ON and All controls" even after a fresh reboot:-
    +++++++++
    Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
    3
    +++++++++
    But when I'm using sudoer to check the result was set to "0" means disable:-
    +++++++++
    Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ sudo defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
    Password:
    0
    +++++++++
    So what I do for the workaround/fix is by the set value to enabled it using root access level or sudoer:-
    +++++++++
    Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ sudo defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleKeyboardUIMode -int 3
    +++++++++
    Once done do reboot your Mac & check the result in Terminal should shows as below:-
    +++++++++
    Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ sudo defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
    3
    =========
    Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
    3
    +++++++++
    So it's fixed for my issue. If anyone have better suggestion or the proper method please share.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can I use an Access front end and Access button to control a LabView Shared variable boolean?

    My company has invested a lot of money on the office network to write many many access databases and front ends. I'm looking for a way to tie a button on an access front end to toggle a LabView boolean shared variable to notify me when they changed something on their side of the network. I'm not seeing anything that helps on a web or forum search. They don't like the idea of a separate labview control that they have to push a button on to let me know.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Patrick,
    While this is not the intended purpose of Network-Published Shared Variables, you might be able to accomplish this by writing separate accessor VIs for reading from and writing to the variable, making sure to wire the inputs and outputs. Then, you could build a DLL, making sure that you include the accessor VIs as Exported VIs and include the DLL Library in the Always Included section of the DLL Build Specifications. During this process, you will define the function prototype, which will provide the function call, required parameters, and return values. Once the DLL is created, you can then call it and its functions from another programming language (C, C++, C#, VB, etc.). This may or may not work, but it is the only way that I can think of at this point. I have included some references that may help you in this process.

    I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini.  Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead."  The mouse still works but I can't type.  If I restart, everything is fine again.  Is there anything that will fix this problem?
    Also, I am trying to connect my Mini from the mini-Displayport to the Displayport of my Dell U2410 monitor.  The image is very grainy,even though it is set to the correct resolution: 1920 X 1200 at 60Hz.  If I use HDMI to VGA input, the image is much clearer.  Is there a way to get the Displayport to work?

    I'm having exactly the same keyboard issue.  Certainly nothing has ever enhanced my concentration while coding like suddenly becoming unable to type.
    I'm seeing a great many devicemgr and rake errors in my system log.  I don't know if they're related.  How 'bout you?
    If you're unfamiliar with the system log…
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.

    system.log is at the top of the FILES section.
    Try searching it for hot words like DEBUG, FATAL, and aborted.

  • Unwanted ITUNES Purchase, Frustrating Errors, Dead Ends and Angry Wife.

    This morning my wife flew off the handle as she had just given me a lecture yesterday about how broke we are and to not spend any money till our next payday as we can't afford any overdraft fees. So imagine my frustration when I wake up to her screaming at me because I made an alleged ITUNES purchase of $4 that we sadly did not and don't even have in the bank currently. So now we have negative $34 + dollars. I swear to her up and down I made no ITUNES purchase. I log into ITUNES and VIEW ACCOUNT. AND I scroll down to PURCHASE HISTORY. Which looks like a link or something, (Its blue text..I'd show you a pic, but thats not working either...more on that in a second.) but you can't click it. It says "Most Recent Purchase : March 28, 2013" There is no more info but that...I look on the ipad to see what my purchase history looks like there. There I am able to see pictures of the things that have been "PURCHASED" Nothing had been downloaded or "PURCHASED" save for a few FREE APPS in the last few days. XBOX GLASS, ANGRY BIRDS HD FREE (Because my son got this Angry Birds toy for easter that makes the Birds turn into pigs. We've already bought Angry Birds for the IPHONE, No intention of buying the HD version as well. My point is all downloads were free things. Nothing that would cost money and a bit of my soul. Still unable to see the raw info of PURCHASE HISTORY. The screen with the ORDER NUMBERS and what not. The IN APP PURCHASES ARE SHUT OFF. (As we've been burned by that in the past from our son.) So I can't give her any explanation as to what the heck just punched us finacially in the throat. So I do some google searches trying to get a more detailed discription of our history. Plenty of sources of info come up. Telling me what to do. Telling me what I already know. I try and follow the instructions with no luck. I find a link in the instructions that I can click that says.
    "On a computer with iTunes installed, click purchase history to have iTunes open and display your purchase history. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and password."
    I click on the "purchase history" hoping that some light is going to be shed on where this mystery $4 charge came from. I get an error saying "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (12001). I google that and get an answer that says this error happens when the clocks on your computer are not in sync with the actual internet time. This is a WINDOWS OS answer. I'm on a MAC. I check my clock anyways and everything is normal. Correct Date, Correct time. It's set to be set automaticallly by the computer as it always has been.
    So finally I goto to contact APPLE SUPPORT because I have no other options. Already knowing in the back of my head that this going to be a DEAD END. That some how its going to be my fault even if its not. I click on APPLE SUPPORT and get ANOTHER ERROR saying "We're Sorry, but we were unable to complete your request at this time. Please try again in a few minutes or START OVER NOW. system 99" I click the the START OVER NOW button and get the same error. I wait for a few minutes and get the same error. I wait some more and still get the same error.
    I took pictures of all these errors and dead ends and unability to see my purchase history with order numbers and zero in on this 4 dollar purchase and when I tried to upload them. (after resizing my screen grabs to the porportions set by apple.) I'm able to choose my image, but the button to actually post it in this message is greyed out. So I can't even have the simple pleasure of showing you the frustrating road block signs that are popping up for some lame reason too.
    My wife was waiting for me to give her some answers, standing there with her coat on, because she was about to goto work. I'm trying desperately to find some answers and literally every flipping turn is blocked by some crazy error message.
    I mean, I know how to check my purchase history. I've done it many times in the past. So its super frustrating and sad how a ghost purchase of $4 from the itunes store is going to put me in the dog house all day today. And I can't even SEE WHAT IT IS!?
    Thanks apple for putting me one step closer to divorce.

    Go here:

    to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They should be able to help you with this problem.

  • What do you do when you download an app and the app doesnt work right, then you call itunes and they cant do anything about it cause it's in a different language and you come to a dead end

    I downloaded the ispytoys app for the tank, the tank works but not all the features and the tank will only travel 2 feet at a time then you have to move the button forward again, I call itunes but there's nothing they can do cause its in japanese or chinese, anyway, nor itunes or I can read it, so I'm at a dead end. What are my options, this ***** cause one of the features is you can email the videos and pictures out that you take with the tank but mine wont let me. I taled to the people I bought it from but there is nothing they can do cause its in the app and itunes cant do anything about it either, so , do I live with it? Sincerely one bummed out person. If anybody can help me, I would seriosly appreciate it.

  • Illustrator CS6 does not honor Full Keyboard Access setting

    Why does Illustrator CS6 not honor the Mac system setting for Full Keyboard Access? Under System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, I have Full Keyboard Access set to allow the Tab key to cycle between "Text boxes and lists only". But Illustrator allows the Tab key to focus on all controls, including buttons. Is there a setting somewhere in Illustrator to change this behavior?

    You can try to edit the keyboard file, but you need to find out the code for the Danish keys.

    Updated itunes - windows quickly shuts it down and says something about "Data Execution Prevention". I followed the instrucxtions to a dead end. I have re downloaded it twice and used the repair files once but get the same result. It worked fine before I updated it to death.

    Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

  • Getting an error of "JBO-27101: Attempt to access dead entity in".

    Hi All,
    I have one Create Page where I have functionality of Create new SCodes in normal way as well as I have provided a functionality of Copy existing SCodes to new SCodes.
    Copy function works fine in all cases. But in one scenario, it is getting failed with the following error and that happens when I Save new records which creates in normal way and then try to copy the existing code to new code. I mean this errors is coming when we try to copy after saving a new record without doing any other operation.
    "oracle.jbo.DeadEntityAccessException: JBO-27101: Attempt to access dead entity in XxxxxEO, key=oracle.jbo.Key[20675 ]"
    Following is the portion of my code for Copy feature written in AM.
    XxxxxVOImpl vo = null;
    vo = getXxxxxVO2();
    OARow row;
    Row sourceRow, dataRow;
    vo.first();
    while (true)
    if (vo.getCurrentRow() != null)
    vo.removeCurrentRow();
    if (vo.next() == null)
    break;
    int recCount = 0;
    while ( !((sourceRow = sourceSiteVO.next()) == null) )
    recCount++;
    row = (OARow) vo.createRow();
    vo.insertRow(row);
    row.setAttribute("SCode",sourceRow.getAttribute("SCode"));
    If there are 2 old records to copy, first record gets created but while creation of second record this error is coming. It is failing at "vo.insertRow(row); " line of the above code.
    Has anybody faced the same problem and got any solution? Please advice me how to overcome on this issue.
    Help is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Arvin

    Iusue is resolved by removing following lines from the code.
    vo.first();
    while (true)
    if (vo.getCurrentRow() != null)
    vo.removeCurrentRow();
    if (vo.next() == null)
    break;
    Thanks,
