Shift-Command-4 - Numbers Changing

Hi, I have a weird problem.
You know how you can press Shift-Command-4 on a Mac and draw a rectangular selection to take a screenshot? Well on my Mac using my Magic Trackpad, I draw a selection and after a second the numbers in the bottom-right corner of the selection change.
So, for example, 150, 250 changes to something like 1174, 623
Has anyone else experienced this? I wonder if it is related to my Magic Trackpad or just a general bug in Mac OS X 10.6.7

No, no, you don't quite understand.
• I type Shift-Command-4 which gives me a crosshair pointer with co-ordinates changing by it.
• Then I tap with 3 fingers and drag down and to the right
• If I wait still for less than a second, the co-ordinates change
It's hard to explain, but I haven't noticed this behaviour on other Macs.

TS2570 Hi I had a question, it is that when I pressed the shift-command-V, it became black , numbers and letters kept coming and then stopped. Last thing said is calling register service

So I tried everything even the shift-command-V thing it has been on for about 10 min and nothing changed. Please help

Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP, it's covered by a 1 year hardware warranty. If you have AppleCare then give them a call but I'm pretty sure they will advise the same. If you have not purchased AppleCare yet please do, this will extend the warranty to 3 years however it MUST be purchased within the first year of ownership. Let it go 366 days and you are out of luck. AppleCare will also include telephone support too.
Good luck.

How do I repeat a command in numbers?

Excel has the capability to repeat and undo a command. It appears Numbers can only undo a command (CMD-z). Does Numbers have the capbility to repeat a command?

Undo applies to (almost) any action, not just commands.
Its opposite, Re-do (shift-command-Z) applies only to something that has been Undone.
Numbers has no equivalent to Excel's Repeat feature.
Feature enhancement request may be made via Provide Numbers Feedback, found in the Numbers menu.

Shift Command 4- screenshot

I'm running 10.3.9, and the shift-command-4 shortcut allows to capture part of the screen as an PDF image file. I've found that 10.4 and higher saves such a screengrab as a PNG file, rather than PDF. Is there a way to set preferences, or otherwise set this function to default to PDF files?

This is for Tiger but may work in Panther (and I hope the horrible link works):

Shift Command 3 Not Working, Any Suggestions?

Hello, My Shift, Command, 3 does not take a screen shots any more. I tried to delete (com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist) and reboot but it did not work. Im using OS10.8.5 on a Mid 2007 iMac. Also I bought this from my friend and I changed the Name of the iMac & Disk, But the "HOME" Still has my fiends name why is this? Can anyone help me here? Thanks!

The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.

How to use keyboard shortcut OPTION SHIFT COMMAND PLUS?

The application I am using has two keyboard shortcuts for changing the KERN of some text:
TIGHTEN = OPTION + SHIFT + COMMAND + MINUS
LOOSEN = OPTION + SHIFT + COMMAND + PLUS
The TIGHTEN command works fine but the LOOSEN command doesn't. If I plug in an external keyboard then it works fine as long as I use the or on the NUMPAD.
Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot for your post. I tried your suggestion and indeed got the Excel short-cut back. It wasn't obvious as "Mission Control" and "Application Windows" are mapped to F9 and F10 (rather than the ctrl-shift-down" combo).
It's ok since I don't really have any use for shortcut launching "Mission Control" or "Application windows".

Shift-Command-R does not work anymore

Hello all,
I've noticed that the shortcut shift-command-r does not work anymore on my macbook pro. I used it for the calendar to refresh all calendars, and its also handy to open the reader in safari 5.
When I open the keyboard viewer from the language and text menu I can see it when I press shift, then command but when I press "R" nothing changes, only shift+command stay highlighted. Other letters do work, so its a bit strange.
Anyone know a solution for this?
Thank you in advance

Nope thats not the problem, the listening key is Esc. It is as if the keyboard does not register it when the R is pressed in combination with the shift and the command together. As I said, the keyboard viewer shows every keystroke except the shift-command-r combi.

Why won't Final Cut Pro 7 allow me to Shift, Command or Option-select items?

I am having a major problem with Final Cut Pro 7. I commonly select multiple items using the Shift (⇧), Command (⌘), or Option (⌥) keys. However, just recently it started not allowing me to select multiple items this way. What happens is either the timeline, the slug, or the canvas will play (depending on which one is selected) I didn't change anything on the computer; it just started happening. I even tried reinstalling the whole entire Final Cut Studio. However, the problem still remains. This is a real problem and really is causing major issues for me. How do I fix this!?!? I'm at a loss. I've tried everything that I could think of short of reinstalling the entire OS (which I may end up doing). Can someone help me?

>I believe that the uninstaller that Digital Rebellion provides (and I used) does, in fact, delete the preferences...
Of course. DR's FCS Remover does exactly what it says on the tin. Except it does not come in a tin.
What it does is remove every vestige of any version of Final Cut Studio.
I ran it on my computer and filled the space that FCS took up by running a script which installed an animated .gif of a dancing banana several times over. Let's be honest. Video editing is a stupid hobby anyway.
Here is the banana...

Shift + Command + 3 not working anymore

Hi there!
Strangely as of yesterday I can't get the screenshot shortcut ( Shift + Command + 3 ) working anymore (it did work quite well for the last years).
Does anyone have an idea how that could be? Or how I could troubleshoot this?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Delete this file: com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
See if that helps...

Shift+command+b not working for bold

I just updated to cs6 and my "bold" key command is not working. (shift+command+b on mac) I am using a font that has BOLD. I can select bold from the character palette and it works fine but the key command will not work. I checked my key command list and is there by default. It should work. It worked fine on cs5 for me. I even tried holding the fn key but no dice. Any ideas? I have to bold many many items so I can not possibly use the character palette....thanks.

"Nope" the first word of my response, was to your question. It means No. Meaning "No I did not copy a custom set". I am using default set.
I wonder if some other app has taken that kb shortcut. Nothing happens when I press it though....and I wouldnt know how to find out.
edit - problem solved. Even though the font says that it has a bold face I guess that it does not. Bold still works fine for other fonts. Sorry for your time.

After using shift command 4 and send to desktop,how can I had iphoto to the list "open With" to preview menu?

After using shift command 4 to send a photo to the desktop, how can I add iphoto to the list of"open with" menu ?

All that's doing is forcing iPhoto to import the image. Dragging it to the iPhoto icon will do the same, or create an automator action and save it as a Contextual menu item.

Left side shift/command/option keys not working

I have a 2010 11" macbook air and out of nowhere my left side Shift Command Option keys are not working at all. Anyone had this issue? or know what I can do to solve it?
I have tried connecting my keyboard to it and doing the reset PRAM, SMC, PMU with no luck. I tried installing new Mountain Lion OSX hoping it was a software issue and it is still not working.

I had a key fail on my MBA and the problem progressed to other keys. It turned out to be the electoonics in the keyboard, not the individual keys. When it progressed to W, I had to replace it;) Given you have two keys failing at once it could be a similar problem.

Trouble in extracting Via ODBC to Oracle or Access - Numbers Change

I am running a report that I only want the group records printed. One of the group fields shows a sum of a function from the detail records.
The following function sj_rec is on the detail record
WhilePrintingRecords;
Numbervar clm_sj_amt;
if {SJE_RECORD.SJER_TYPE} in ["S","J"] then
    clm_sj_amt := clm_sj_amt + {SJE_RECORD.SJER_AMOUNT};
if {SJE_RECORD.SJER_TYPE} = "R" then
    clm_sj_amt := clm_sj_amt - {SJE_RECORD.SJER_AMOUNT};
clm_sj_amt;
Then on the Group Record we have disp_sj function
WhilePrintingRecords;
numberVar   clm_sj_amt;
clm_sj_amt;
On the crystal report every thing looks fine.
When I extract the Information Via ODBC to Oracle or Access the numbers change. If I extract to Excel it is fine.
Can you please explain why I canu2019t get on oracle the exact info displayd in crystal ???

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Data Connectivity - Crystal Reports Forum
Likely differences in how ODBC links and indexes the tables.
