Shortcut "Z" not working, screen momentary brighter

Hello,
i have a Macbook Pro Retina with hopefully the latest Garage Band (10 or 11?).
Anyway I have a problem with the keyboard shortcuts. For example if I press "Z"
to jump to the beginning of the tracks nothing happens but the screen gets brighter
for a short time..
I have noticed this behavior on several shortcuts.
Anybody an idea what's the problem?
THX and best regards, Hubert

Hubert,
to see your GarageBand version, use the menu command "GarageBand > About GarageBand".
If it is showing Version 10.0.2, you are indeed having the newest GarageBand version.
Then hit the "return" key to go to the beginning of a track.
The list of keyboard shortcuts is here:
http://help.apple.com/garageband/mac/10.0/#gbnd715f33a0
Many shortcuts from the older GarageBand '11 no longer work, and not all keys are documented.
-- Léonie
For example if I press "Z"
to jump to the beginning of the tracks nothing happens but the screen gets brighter
for a short time..
Added - the blinking, brighter screen is the error message for an undefined keyboard shortcut.

[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?

Still well and alive in Parallels 9 and LabVIEW 2013 SP1. Of course I could upgrade to the latest versions to check whether things have gotten any better.
Any news on that?
@mellroth figured out the solution :-)

Spotlight shortcut does not work (ctrl + space)

Spotlight shortcut does not work. When I press ctrl + space, nothing happen. When I click on magnifier icon by mouse, everything work well.
In Spotlight configuration and also in keyboard shortcut configuration this shortcut is present and marked as active.
I've also tried to disable and enable back this shortcut but it still not work.

Hello Zeleznypa,
For me, the default shortcut for Spotlight is Command - Space (not Control Space).
OS X Yosemite: Spotlight keyboard shortcuts
Open Spotlight to start a search Command (⌘)-Space bar
Open a Finder window with the search field selected Option-Command (⌘)-Space bar
I changed the shortcut in System Preferences to Control Space and it still worked with that.
Could you check your keyboard with the Keyboard Viewer?
OS X Yosemite: Use the Keyboard Viewer
Take care,

Shortcuts does not work in Tiger

I bought a MacBook Pro 2.4 two days ago. Now I am getting really angry after reinstalling and trobuleshooting for two days. Some shortcuts does not work, like "New folder", "Quit", "Empty Trash"...
But some shortcuts work like, "Spotlight", "Hide other app.", "Send to trash".
I have done everything to find out the problem, all troubleshooting.
1. Create new Admin
2. Empty caches
3. Disk Permissions
4. FSCK
5. Safe mode
6. Apple Hardware Test
The Hardware Test gave me a error code: 4 SNS/1/40000000:TGOD
The Apple support could not help me when I called them. I am really tired of this.

I live 450 km from an Apple Store, so that is not the solution.
The thing is that when you buy a new Apple computer, you dont't want to spend time troubleshooting the first thing you do before even installing your software.

When icloud drive is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.

When iCloud Drive is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.
ANyone found a solution to this?
I Have tried it several times and when tured off iCloud Drive and tested the shortcuts on an email, all was working ok...turning icloud drive on again and again the keyboard shortcuts stoped working. Solutions?

Hi Susana,
I have a similar problem: when updating to iOS 8 my iPhone 5 the shortcuts disappeared and more over the keyboard often gets stuck. When repeatedly turning off iCloud drive the shortcuts are present again and the keyboard works as it should. A factory reset of my iPhone was not successful.
The only "workaround" seems to turn off iCloud drive, however, this is of course no solution at all.
Since reports on keyboard malfunctions are rather rare in this community, I think, you and I are using some special settings or apps which cause this problem.

"Clean Up By..." keyboard shortcut is not working

For some reason, when I am in a Finder window or on my desktop, the "Clean Up By..." Kind, Name, Size etc shortcut is not working. I normally click use "Option + Command + 2" to clean up my desktop by kind. This no longer works. I have to go into the "View, Clean Up By..." menu to have this take place. The keyboard shortcut still appears to be mapped to this menu option (as can be seen in the attached screenshot). I have also went into system preferences and reset my keyboard shortcuts to default.

You're most welcome. Thanks for posting back and letting me know. Glad to help.

My "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys arnt either? any help would be amazing!

my "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys aren't either? any help would be amazing! I use these keys a million times a hour and since I have switched to cc I cant get them to work. track selection makes no difference or if there are markers on the timeline or not.
Anyone else feel me on this?
any help?

Well that still didn't make any kind of difference. I would just do without it but I've becomes really use to it with Avid for so long. I have to admit there are a lot of small moments like this that makes me miss Avid. Any other suggestions? I have checked the keyboard shortcuts a few times and maybe I'm just missing something here...

Keyboard shortcut does not work on first slide in Web Browser

I'm using a workbook to learn Captivate.
I added a keyboard shortcut, the Enter key, to buttons on the first and second slides.
When I preview the project in Captivate, the shortcuts all work.
When I preview the project in a Web Browser (specifically Firefox 3.6.16), the shortcut does not work on the first slide, but does work on subsequent slides.
Any ideas why this would happen?

Welcome to our community
The issue is typically a matter of focus. Particularly in Firefox. In IE, when the page loads and is presented, the Flash object (your Captivate movie) is given focus. So the keyboard shortcuts work. But that doesn't happen in Firefox. In Firefox, you must first click somewhere on the Flash object to give it focus. From there forward, shortcuts work because the Flash object is now listening for them.
In every class I facilitate I demonstrated this and advise that it's a good idea to have a button on the first slide. This serves two purposes.
It forces the user to click to proceed
It keeps the first slide paused until the user is ready
Yeah, before someone comes along and says: (in an annoyingly nasal tone) Mr. Man, you KNOW there is an option in Captivate to keep it paused at the start... I'm well aware that Captivate offers this option without adding a button, but I prefer it for the reasons above.
Cheers... Rick

Premiere Pro CC shortcut keys not working

I have downloaded the trial version of premiere pro and I found that all the keyboard shortcuts do not work at all. Basic things like delete, copy,cut and undo don't work, as well as ever other shortcut. Does this have to do with the trial version, or is there something I can do to fix this.
Thanks

jcellini, heilirqxx, andrewsamson and everyone else this forum
thanks for the kudos. feels good to help. i actually joined the forum hoping to find an answer to this specific problem never thinking i'd be the one to hit on the solution. no genius just a lot of luck and perserverance.
my knowledge of CS4 is rudimentary and my work is rather pedestrian, so its good to know there is a "community" where one can find help and support. maybe it will help me take my work up a notch or two
happy thanksgiving everybody and again thanks

HT201335 when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue?

when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue? My son's Ipad(same as kind as mine) works ok with the apple tv but mine does not. Any suggestions?

Hello Nina Izurin,
While written for the iPhone, the troubleshooting below can help resolve issues with your iPad's camera, as well.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Gnome-shell keyboard shortcuts do not work with only conky running

This is best described by a video showing the bug. You can see the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZWdExRxq-I.
Description
The gnome-shell keyboard shortcuts like Alt+F2,Alt+F1 and the media key shortcuts do not work if conky is the only program running. However if I open any other application like gedit or vlc or firefox or anything then the keyboard shortcuts work.
This is not a bug due to any upgrade or anything...I just installed arch linux 4-5 days before...and then installed conky 2 days. However I just noticed that the bug was due to conky. If conky is not running it all works perfectly...How do I solve this problem?
Hope I provided sufficient information....

I'm having the same problem. I ended up putting

in my conkyrc (1080p display) to force it back to the right side. Took a little bit of trial and error, but at least it works as it is supposed to and is placed where I want it.

Control key (^) combined shortcuts does not work on mac book pro

All shortcut combinations with the control key (^) do not work. I´m using Mac Book Pro 13 (late 2013) with Os X Mavericks 10.9.4

The Logic Board is the Main system board. In the Windows world better known as the Motherboard. Except with Apple Mac computers the CPU and the GPU are Soldered to the logic board and if it is a Retina screen model the RAM is also Soldered to it.
So replacing the Logic board is like replacing the compete system and costs accordingly.
But there isn't much else you can do if you can't get that switch unstuck. Or just go without sound from the built in speakers. They aren't that good anyway.

Some buttons and shortcuts are not working on my 5...

The numberpad and the contact list buttons are not working on the home page
The shortcuts disappeared on the home page, it's just 4 blank icons now
I can press the buttons, but nothing will open.....
Can somebody help please??
Many Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can force a reset by turning off your device.
Depress call+end+camera buttons while powering on. Depress keys untill youre past the nokia hand shake logo screen and get prompt for pin, language/regin selection.
This is known as the hard reset and will wipe your phonememory just as the soft reset (*#7370#).
