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.

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,

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

Double Click on Keyboard shortcut does not work

I want to change a keyboard shortcut. I have a Norwegian keyboard and the key combination for change active window in an application (multiple mail messages or Word documents) is not available. The Keyboard shortcut is set to ' - on my keyboard the ' character is <. The key combination < does not work unless I change layouts to a US keyboard. Keyboard shortcuts says that a double click on the shortcut will allow me to change the combination. This does not happen. I get an error bing instead. Any ideas of what is going on and how to change a shortcut in Leopard. I think this worked in Tiger. I have tried a hardwired as well as my bluetooth keyboard.

Solved this one - you have to click on the key combination itself and not in the text area that describes the key combination.

Show Reading List keyboard shortcut does not work

The Show Reading List keyboard shortcut (shift-command-L) does not work in Lion Safari 5.1.

Problem has been fixed. I reported the bug to Apple from the Safari menu. Also, I had a different application that used the same keyboard shortcut for one of their hotkey's which I disabled. Then it worked fine. Shift-Command-L now shows reading list in Lion.

Keyboard shortcut does not work on ML

Hi everyone!
I've been in love with one smal feature of Lion: to send email with chosen file just out of the Finder by simply pressing cmd+shift+1.
In spite of that this feature is available in ML disability access preferences it does not work at all. I'm not sure if TotalFinder caused this failure, because it worked perfect during times of Lion.
Has anyone of you know some suggestion?

Never heard of that shortcut before. Where exactly do you see it? In Accessibility? Which section?
If I set up a shortcut with that combination, I do not get any warnings that it is in use.
You would have had to set that up yourself or a program was helping you do that.
In Mountain Lion, if you right-click, there is an Email option in Share.
You could also create an Automator Service to do what you want and assign a shortcut to that.
It quite possibly could be TotalFinder interfering with whatever you had set up before.

New created Shortcuts does not working

Hello,
I tried to create a Shortcut for open Terminal in Finder so I turned it on in System preferences -> Keyboard.......
But I does not working ! I tried reboot system, delete com.apple.symbolichotkey.plist from user/Library/Preferences folder and still nothing.
I have any services in finder too.
Please, help.

Are you using the default "Launch Terminal" service (or one of the others), or did you create your own?
If your own, how did you make the service?

[SOLVED]Amarok 2.0.2 Play/Pause Global Shortcut Does Not Work Properly

Hello everyone,
Just a quick question tonight. I have the global shortcut for Play/Pause in Amarok set to Ctrl+` which works in the sense that it causes Amarok to play. However, the problem is that it does not actually Pause the music, it merely resets to the beginning of the playing song. Any ideas on what could cause this? I've tried setting it to a different shortcut with the same end result. I'm using KDEmod 4.2.1.
Last edited by zapyourit (2009-04-02 22:52:36)

There are two different events, Play, that is what you use, and Play/Pause (IIRC, I'm at work now, cannot check it). Search for the other hotkey in the list, and set that to ctrl+`.
PS: the problem with that will be, that if Amarok is stopped (not paused), this hotkey will not start playing, it merely pauses/unpauses, so you will need another hotkey to initiate playing.

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.

Keyboard shortcuts does not work

Since I upgraded to iOS 8 my keyboard shortcuts sync between iPhone 5s and iPad Mini Retina do not work... I tried to use another Apple ID. Also tried full restores, but no effect yet. Any ideas?
Thank You very much!

Update on shortcut issues... the only solution that is reportedly working is detailed below. This has been used to fix both the reappearing shortcuts issue and/or the keyboard shortcuts crash on iOS.
(1) On any affected iOS device go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content And Settings
(WARNING this will obviously delete everything so you must be willing to go this far with no guarantee)
(2) If you also have a Mac(s) proceed to step (3) otherwise skip to step (6)
(3) On Mac, go to System Preferences > Keyboard >Text Tab and delete ALL the shortcuts you have there.
(4) Using Terminal app on your Mac, the following command will place a “Real iCloud Drive" folder on your desktop which will allow you to see ALL the hidden items in iCloud Drive:
ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/ ~/Desktop/Real\ iCloud\ Drive
(5) Open this new iCloud Folder alias (you must choose to view it in a Finder window as list view). Inside this folder is the folder called "Settings" and inside that, "Dictionaries.” Delete the “Dictionaries” folder and empty trash.
(6) Set up your iOS device(s) as NEW. Meaning, you must manually reinstall any apps, settings, etc. Do NOT restore from iTunes or iCloud backup as that will just leave you with the same corrupted issue. Before going through all the time that takes, start with singing into your device with your Apple/iCloud ID and see if the shortcuts issue seem to be fixed and when you enter new ones they sync between devices and/or Mac.
- This solution was suggested to me by a developer and it seems to have worked for my iOS shortcuts crashing & syncing debacle. The issues have not reappeared for the last week and all the shortcuts are properly syncing between an iPhone, iPad and 2 Macs. Please don’t get angry with me if you try this and it doesn’t work for you. I’m just sharing an option.
- I continue to submit feedback to Apple about the issue and have still been having followup calls with AppleCare. They just keep saying “a fix will be in an upcoming iOS software update.” They’ve been saying that to me me since iOS 8.0 and we are now at 8.1.3…

Window Switching Shortcut Does Not Work

Ever since I switched to Snow Leopard, my precious cmd+` command no longer cycles through windows within applications. If I look at my keyboard shortcuts this should work in all application but it only works in Finder. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Ok...
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. Try the keyboard shortcut for the Downloads window. If it didn't help, just move that .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
Also, go to your Safari menu bar click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Restart your Mac. That might help too.

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted, but it did not open upon completion and now shortcut does not work and cannot find file to run 4.0 in the firefox folder. Tried restarts and reinstalling 3.6 which now also won't work for me. Ideas?

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted yesterday. Seemed to download normally but did not automatically start following download even though that option was checked. The shortcut now is broken and efforts to fix it fail because the file cannot be found. Checked the firefox folder and do not see a file to run firefox. Tried restarting twice with no luck. Then tried multiple times to reinstall 4.0 with no success. Then tried uninstalling and reinstalling 3.6 with same result.

OK. Got it figured out. Disabled my virus scanning software and the download worked perfectly. Should have thought of that before now.

Sleep keyboard shortcut does not work in 10.4.6

I just updated to 10.4.6 over the weekend. Unfortunately I realised that the sleep functionality seems to be broken. I have setup my machine to not go to sleep at all, but it tends to doze away after a few hours of being alive.
Further, I used to use the keyboard shortcut Option-Command-Eject to put my machine to sleep, but this doesn't seem to work now.
Anybody has any experience with this problem ?
Thanks,

Dead_greek keyboard shortcut does not work in gtk2 apps

I have set the right windows key as dead_greek via xmodmap.
This works great in Qt, GTK3 and non-toolkit apps, but not in GTK2 apps (Firefox, Thunderbird, Pluma, etc.).
Any ideas on how to make it work in GTK2 apps?
This is my .Xmodmap:
remove Mod4 = Super_R
keycode 134 = dead_greek NoSymbol Super_R

Alt + Shift shortcut does not work in CDE

Hello,
I have a following problem when I try to use Alt+Shift shortcuts in Eclipse IDE: when I press Alt+Shift+N my Eclipse behave as if Alt+N was pressed (without Shift).
The problem is described in the following bug:https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=120555.
The solution is to remove "grp:alt_shift_toggle" option from xorg.conf. Unfortunately I cannot find xorg.conf in my CDE environment.
Do you have any ideas how this issue could be solved?
Many thanks!
Kuba

If it doesn't work for certain applications then you may go through the followings:

Which windows appear in the Alt+Tab list?
