Some key commands are not working

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro running OS 10.10.2. 
When I use cmd/shift/4, nothing happens.  However, these keys work individually.  Similarly, in Pages, hitting cmd/shift/> will zoom the content in the window, but cmd/shift/< will not zoom back out.  I've check my keyboard settings and all of the keys are mapped correctly and set to default settings.  None of them seem stuck down. 
Does anyone have any ideas of other things I can check to restore these functions?  Thanks!

Yes, I've done this already.  It looks just like your image. 
I rebooted, hoping that would fix it and it did not.  Also, this started before I loaded Yosemite and I was hoping loading it might fix the problem if it was something simple like that. 
I checked the apps tab also (I have no apps) but the only one on there was the "show help menu" button and the keys listed for it are not replacing any other commands.

  • I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys that are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys.  What's really weird is that happens randomly.  I've never spilled anything on it

    I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys.  What's really weird is that happens randomly.  I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this.  Can anyone help?  of course this happened after my warranty expired.

    **update**
    I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose.  In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!).  Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind.  I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store.  But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working. 
    So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off.  Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
    Hopefully this might help someone.

  • Some amixer-commands are not working.

    Hello, some of the commands of amixer are not working for me, e.g. "amixer set PCM toggle" or "amixer set PCM mute". But other commands like "amixer set PCM 100%+" work fine. How can I change this? Especially I want to use the toggle-command for the hotkey on my laptop.

    i have a hp pavilion g6 4GB  i3 core 64 bit windows . i think the warrenty has expired as it is a refurbished laptop

    Hello momomhammed:
    I think you forgot to type in HP g6 1239as because I could not find HP g6 123sa. This is the only steps they give for your lat top. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01458194&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc​... I would do the reset direction first then do the update drives for it. To see if that fixes the issue. If it doesn't then yout computer needs repairing. frrw.

  • DACP commands are not working on Ipv6 enabled Airplay ITune service on MAC book.

    DACP commands are not working on Ipv6 enabled Airplay ITune service on MAC book.
    As we have gone through the source code(Airplay
    Audio POSIX receiver v190.9.p6) in dnssd_clientshim.c file and in API DNSServiceGetAddrInfoResponse has provided the implementation for ipv4 only.
    The test setup to test the DACP over IPV6 is by disabling the IPV4
    from MAC book and only enabling the Ipv6 .
    We are not sure if the test procedure is correct, please clarify the same.

  • Some commands are not working nor in illustrator nor photoshop, any advice better than Adobe?

    Illustrator is not fuctioning at 100%, some commands do not work ( eg - command open, nor place etc ) and same with photoshop....
    Any advice

    pcmyhre,
    You may try the list, possibly starting with item 7) in 5), which is a list of the usual suspects, which may disturb and confuse Illy so she fails to do even simple things.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
    In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

  • Some commands are not working

    some of commands suddenly stopped working like reboot ,lsusb etc . any idea why ?..

    You can try to copy the content in '/etc/skel/' to your home folder with 'cp /etc/skel/* ~/'. This should overwrite your local bash config files. If this doesn't help, then you have to update the '/etc/profile' file. There should be a '/etc/profile.pacnew'. Just move it 'mv /etc/profile.pacnew /etc/profile'. This should fix it.

  • Some keys on keyboard not working.

    Hello,
    I´ve pushed lots of buttons at the same time on accident. and now for some reason, some keys are not responding. I´m pretty sure it´s not broken cause i didn´t push it hard, just a normal push.
    ? button is not working
    : button is not working
    1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9 keys on the right side of the keyboard are not working. (258 working fine)
    it´s pretty strange because when i pushed a lot of buttons it weren´t those buttons on the right side of the keyboard. i didn´t even touch them.
    So i think i did an keycombination on accident or something. It also has nothing to do with the language of the keyboard cause that´s all fine.
    I´ve tried the keyboard on my macbook, mac pro and even a windows pc. it does the same thing on all 3 computers.
    It´s an apple wired usb keyboard.
    Does anyone know a solution?

    i don't think it's damaged, i just pushed a few buttons at the same time, i don't think that can give damage to your keyboard. its not like i slammed it. i just pushed it slightly, if that means it can be damaged then it already would be broken because i type on it every day.
    I can understand your frustration.  But there is no way any key combo you might have done would affect more than one computer.  I suggest you take it to an Apple store or other shop for them to test.

  • Key commands are not stored in a separate file

    On page 44 in the Logic Reference it says that key commands are stored in a separate preference file.
    But that's not right is it? I believe the key commands are stored in the general preferences file for logic.

    I believe it's actually a mistake in the manual and in
    the way Logic is supposed to work.
    I don't, as Logic has stored the key commands within the Logic preferences files since version 1.
    What's probably happening is that when you use the setup assistant, the various template key commands (Pro Tools one and so on) are stored in various files. The setup assistant puts the necessary startup template keycommands file into the prefs directory, which when Logic loads, it sees them, parses them and inserts them into the preferences, which then behave like normal.
    It saves the setup assistant from accessing Logic's preference files directly.

  • Keys (MJU) are not working after repair

    Hello,
    I've sent my MBP early 2011 for motherboard replacement, as affected model.
    After repair service inform me some keys are not working anymore (MJU), thay asked me 290 euros for repair
    What should I do? Anyone else had the same problem?

    I never managed to get the keys to work again, but maybe I haven't been holding them long enough.
    I have read somewhere that Apple ask for more than 300€ (USD 400) to change the keyboard, so I am considering opening myself my Crapple Crapbook Pro and change it myself.
    I am quite ****** actually. A keyboard shouldn't die like this with no reason less than 3 years later. My Powerbook G4 that I used a lot much more than the Macbook is still working fine.

  • Some key figure are not update for movement type 101

    Dear All,
    I have done load for Inventory and now i am finding that for some material the with movement type 101 the key figures are not getting populated, for these materials the values in characteristics is getting populated fine.
    I have loaded the data according to stranded procedure in "How to Load...."
    I have checked the values of material in R3 and it is there.
    Example of the record::
    Material    Plant Movement type  Calender Day    quanity Base Unit
    10101      01       350                     01.02.2006     20             KG
    10101        01       101                     05.07.2006                      KG
    10101         01      101                      10.07.2006                      KG
    The Quantity is not appearing in second and third record.

    Hi,
    Please check whether you have set  ''Rule groups''  at transfermation level . There you can set the conditions like materials having movement type X can be updated to one Key Figure and material having movement type Y can be updated to another Key figure.
    Please check whether you have set this option at transfermation level.
    For example, may be in your case materials from different plants are updating to different key figure.
    Thanks,

  • Satellite C660-17L - Some TouchPad functions are not working

    My touch pad functions are not working:
    - I can't use it to scroll up and down
    - I can't use it to zoom.
    What should I do to fix it?

    Yes the model number is Satellite C660-17L
    And no I didn't install the touchpad driver.
    I Have had this laptop for less than a month, I started it one day and tried to scroll but it didn't work.
    Also i tried to search for the advanced settings under the mouse option but I couldn't find it.
    When I enter the search directly into the search bar, the mouse option comes up but when I click on it, it asks me if I want to uninstall the synaptics driver.
    I have no idea what this means but I click no and it comes up with all the mouse setting options.
    What should I do now?

  • Some key figures are not being correctly reversed in the Change Log

    Hi Experts,
    I'm working with the BI 7 (SP 15) and I have created an ODS with Overwrite option (Record Mode equal to ' ') and a Cube receiving data from this ODS.
    Whenever I have a change in one existing record in R/3 side (already previously loaded to BW), it comes perfectly to the ODS and overwrite the record in the Active Data. However, in the change log table, the before image record is not reversing all the key figures, there is one (Quant type) which is not working and it is being doubled in the cube. All the other key figures are Amount type and are working fine. PLease see below some examples of the Change Log behavior:
    First time the record comes - Change log content:
    Material   Valid Dt   Cost Value      Quantity Rec. Mode      Req. ID
    1234     May/01   $  100.00       10          'N'     1
    Second time when the record changes the Date:
    Material     Date      Cost Value      Quantity Rec. Mode      Req. 1234     May/29   $  100.00       10          '  '     2
    1234     May/01   $  -100.00       10          'X'     2
    Then the final result in the cube, after it is compressed, is:
    Material     Date      Cost Value      Quantity
    1234     May/29   $  100.00       20      
    Also, I have a Counter in the transformation to the Cube which is a constant equal to 1, it is also being aggregated erroneously. I could create a routine to check the record mode coming, but I'm not sure it is the best solution.
    Can anybody help me to figure this out, please?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Rajkumar,
    Actually it is a generic extractor (customized) and the ODS active data is getting the delta records correctly. After I extract from R/3 and activate the ODS, the active table has correct results, but the change log table has the problem described before. All the fields comes from one single extractor.
    The 0RECORDMODE that I mentioned is about the setting in the transformation to the ODS. You have the Technical rule group where you can set the 0RECORDMODE, in my case it is set to ' ' (blank) which means it will receive After-Images from the extractor (which I think is correct in my case). The most curious is that it is working for almost all key figures (all amount type), except for the Price Unit which is Quantity type.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.
