Shift + Control + Click not working

When I hold down shift + control and then click, it acts as if I'm simply right-clicking. This is making it hard to do assignments for my Graphic Layout class.
Some information (if more is needed, I'd be glad to provide it):
-I'm running the latest version of CS 5.5 for InDesign (7.5.2).
-I have nothing running besides InDesign (no browsers, nothing at all).
-I'm doing this on my laptop (MacBook Pro). I have Parallels (virtual machine software) running Windows 7 and I have InDesign on the Windows side.
-Both my Mac and Windows are completely up to date.
Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

Are you usually using a pc? Holding down the control key on a mac and clicking pops up the right-click menu in all software, it's a system wide convention (and a relic from the days Apple insisted that users should only be using a single mouse button).
To get the result you are probably looking for, i.e., overrriding a master page item, hold down *Command* and shift on the Mac.

Why does control-click not work?

I just bought a used 2010 MacBook Pro, running a fresh install of OS X 10.8
I imported my user / apps from another mac, no problem.
Everything works fine EXCEPT CONTROL-CLICK DOESN'T BRING UP THE RIGHT CLICK MENU. If I do two-finger click, that works. But control-click doesn't.
I have repaired disk permissions, restarted, and reset PRAM. No luck.
Does anybody know how I might fix this?
Thank you!!

I believe somewhere in System Preferences > Keyboard there is an option to change the mapping of those keys. So for example pressing Control will instead register Command and so on. I can't remember exactly where though.

Extract pages using control click not working in acrobat 9.4.5

I have been using Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.4.5 for about 2 years to scan and archive documents. Usually, I scan a stack of invoices then select pages by clicking on the first one, then holding down the control key and selecting additional pages. Suddenly, this selection method is no longer working. I click on the first page, then hold the control key down and click on the next (but the first page is then released).
I am not sure if I accidently changed a setting or something. Control selecet works in other windows programs.
Please help, I use this feature daily and do not know what happened.

Never mind - just found the major thread addressing the same issue.

H8-1287 Beats Audio controls do not work in Windows 8.1

I've upgraded to Windows 8.1 and installed the IDT High-Definition audio driver from HP's website. The surround sounds seems to be working but the controls do not work to modify the EQ etc. I've seen the problem has been resolved for Envy laptops but all the links for the software appear to only be for the notebooks and not compatible with my desktop system. I've downloaded the available software (IDT High-Definition Audio driver) found under my HPE HI-1287 product from HP's support site but the Beats audio control panel doesn't seem to make any sound quality changes. Hopefully there is a driver somewhere compatible with my desktop system that allows controling the audio properly. Thanks.

Hello @KICR,
I understand that the Beats Audio Console is not adjusting the audio settings on your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC running Windows 8.1. According to the HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC Drivers page there are no Windows 8.1 drivers for your computer. I can only assume that this means your computer is currently using Windows default drivers or Windows 8 drivers and the Beats Audio Console is not able to interact properly with the currently installed driver.
All I can recommend is that you check back periodically to the drivers page I linked above and see if Windows 8.1 drivers have been created. Other than that your only option at this time would be to use the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) to restore your computer back to Windows 8 where the Beats Audio Console has drivers that are compatible.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

On certain sites (like chats), the shift symbols are not working correctly.

On certain sites (like chats), the shift symbols are not working correctly, but shift+letters works fine. I've tried changing the set keyboard language, as well as the character encoding, but nothing works. I don't have this problem in IE.

Hello there.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
As for your issue, I'm not sure if this is the case, but there is a little know keyboard shortcut to change the keyboard language on Windows. And it's very annoying, since it's easily triggered. I don't know exactly which one it is, but I think it's CTRL+SHIFT, the ones on the right. I suggest you ask Microsoft for support on this one. Firefox doesn't control keyboard languages.

Shift factor is not working with Depreciation Base method- 0004

Hello,
When I am changing shift factor and variable depreciation portion in asset master data. Its not calculating depreciation as per shift factor.
What can be the reason behind it.
Even I have already maintained config in depreciation key also for multiple shift.
regards

Hi,
Shift factor works only with the variable portion of ordinary depreciation. The variable factor is defined as depreciation area level.
"When you use depreciation with a multiple shift factor, the system
multiplies the variable depreciation portion by the multiple shift factor"
In depreciation area tab of asset master data double click on the depreciation area. You can check the variable portion can be see under "Additional Specifications" tab. If the value is 0 then the shift factor will not work.

Mission Control does not work!!!!!!!!

Hi all,
I have recently Reformatted my mac and made it into 1 partition of 500gb just to run mac os x. I did it with the discs the laptop came with.
After OSx install was complete, I ran the os x lion downloaded from the app store and installed it too. After completely updating the system with software updates and my other software like ms office, vlc, flash, iLife etc.
I have found that the mission control does not work sometimes. It allows you to swipe from screen to screen but when when you swipe up.. It hides the top apple bar but nothing else happens.. Everything else is fine so far.
When I turn my mac on. If it gets stuck the only way to make it work again is to restart. Which is a bit annoying.. Plz tell me if it's a bug or something.
If that happens to someone else as well?
Thanks

Does it work ok if you create a new user?
To create a user account:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Users & Groups. Click the lock icon to unlock it, and type an administrator name and password.
Click the Add button below the list of accounts, choosing a type of account Standard is fine) from the New Account pop-up menu.

Controls do not work

Hi there,
can anyone tell me why all of a sudden iTunes will not proceed to the next song when playing music? Top left hand controls nor keyboard controls will not work either.
Reinstall of software does not help.
thx
darius

head into the main library screen. are all the little boxes to the left of the track names unchecked?
if so, hold down control and click one of the boxes to do a "recheck all". (this may take a wee while.)
after that, are you back getting continuous play again?

Hi
Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

[LAVA Cross Post] CTRL+SHIFT+ Shortcuts sometimes not working in LabVIEW

Cross-post from LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/
See the above post for more information - here's a synopsis:
CTRL+SHIFT modifiers are not working while running LabVIEW in a Parallels 7 virtual machine. This problem affects both LV2011 and LV2012. I'm not certain that this is a LabVIEW bug - could be an issue with my virtual machine environment or it's configuration - except that CTRL+SHIFT modifiers work in other applications on the affected VMs. It's just LabVIEW that appears to ignore shortcuts with the CTRL+SHIFT modifiers.
Any ideas?

2008 Macbook pro left click not working properly after upgrading to 10.6.8

I have a 2008 Macbook pro and a few months ago after upgrading to 10.6.8 my left click has been wonky.
Using the trackpad the left click eventually gets "stuck" or stops responding and I have to push it multiple times before it does anything. I have tried plugging in a mouse, but when I do so the mouse also behaves the same way. The only way I seem to be able to get the clicking to work properly is to restart the computer with the mouse attached.
I have seen threads about trackpads being messed up by swollen batteries, but my battery is brand new and looks fine, and the clicking problem extends to an external mouse, so I believe it is something with the preferences.
I tried deleting com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouchTrackpad.plist and restarting and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then after about a half hour it returned.
Having to keep a mouse plugged into my macbook is driving me crazy, anyone know a solution?

I started having the same issue after update. I'm on a MacBookpro running 10.7.2
ICalled apple and they did a remove battery reboot, a reload lion and a option/command/R/P reboot on startup and then the computer started working. Two days later problem was back. I then did a reboot and the computer was back to working. Today the computer worked fine tell it went to sleep. I had to do a hard reboot to get the Mac up and running and now no left click. Please help. I can not use the Mac with the trackpad, a mouse, a Bluetooth mouse, or a digital pad. All so signs of left mouse click not working. One other item when you go to pick your user at startup the left mouse click works. Help!

Control center not working on iPhone 6 plus when in landscape mode

I has a iphone 5 before it , and there's no problem with the control center, now with this expensive iPhone 6 plus , the control is not working when the phone is in landscape mode , when the screen tapped repeatedly, I can only see the little tab of the control center but I can't able to bring it up.
Anyone has this problem?

Hello torontonightowl,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For some initial troubleshooting on this issue where you're unable to open the control center on your iPhone, please first restart your iPhone, and if the issue persists then reset the iPhone.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

HT1343 On my 4 1/2 year old Macbook I could select multiple files by highlighting a file and then moving cursor over a file lower in the list, and pressing shift-control-click. I can't do that in now with Mac Pro. What am I doing wrong?

ghlighting a file and then moving cursor over a file lower in the list, and pressing shift-control-click. I can't do that in now with Mac Pro. What am I doing wrong?

Holding down the control key will invoke "right-click."
Depending on the View, holding down Shift will with either toggle the selection (Icon View), or it will make a continuous selection from the previous selection (List View or Column View).
The only way to make a continuous selection in Icon View is to drag out a selection marquee around or through the icons.
I can't remember the behavior of previous OS's.
