Something happen with the keyboard, top bottoms
started from f1 to f12 it doesnt works...they gives totaly diferent commands....Plc ..ho knows how to fix it
If I understand your question correctly, this just seems like the function key toggle.
The 'function' keys can either act as traditional F1 - F12 keys, or they can perform specifc system functions such as changing volume, screen brightness, etc.
You can toggle the function by holding the fn key, and set the default mode in System Preferences -> Keyboard.

Something weird with the keyboard
Hello everyone, i have this strange problem with my wireless keyboard. Everytime i type down a letter, it appears down as many times as i hold the button. Every letter, except X. It is the only letter that i can only type one time, even if i hold it down for several seconds. I don't think there is something wrong with the keyboard or the specific number, because when I hit it again and again the letter appears. Only when i hold it down it only appears once. I know this is not something to bother about, since i can type the letter, but i am curious to find out why this happens. If anyone could tell me, please, do not hesitate

This is due to the manufacturing of the keyboard itself. The way its setup is that the keys that are giving problems are obviously located on a different chip and are being recognized as a different device, therefor fail to start or function at all in lowlevel driver enviroment.
There are threads all over the internet about how these expensive keyboards are causing problems with Win7 because of how they are made. Just don't buy too expensive of a keyboard that has a bunch of extra things because those "extra things" are handled differently then a typical keyboard, which is counted as one device. My Saitek red Eclipse works perfectly fine, though it doesn't have extra programmable macro buttons or anything (and thats why it works). It does have volume + -, mute, and backlight adjustment buttons though.
Surely that cannot be the case. This keyboard works fine with every other motherboard including the lower-end P67S-C45 that I have sitting next to me. Also, lets not confuse the issue, this problem does not affect Windows. -
HT203671 What if I use a screen protector together with the keyboard top case?
Does a screen protector keep the screen from being damaged by a keyboard top case?
According to some saying, the screen could be damaged by any accessory between the keyboard and screen because there is a coating on the screen. Then anything between the keyboard and screen would hurt the coating the leave a scratch on the screen. So if I put a protector onto the screen, does it protect the coating from being hurt? Or does the back-adhesive protector itself hurt the coating (because it is adhesive)?So I'm sure you're aware of this:
My Retina Display has stain damage, HELP!!!
So if you're aware of that then you know there is a total controversy about this problem.
"Does a screen protector keep the screen from being damaged by a keyboard top case?"
Some people there swear by them and some people say "anything between the keyboard and screen would hurt the coating"
So I would say "absolutely maybe!"
Sorry to be like that but we have so little information about this problem.
"does the back-adhesive protector itself hurt the coating (because it is adhesive)?"
I would say to avoid anything that has an adhesive on it. Some people have said that they cover their keyboard with a microfiber cloth but again I would say "this is purely anecdotal hearsay not based on science or actual testing."
I feel this problem is caused by outgassing of the keys or plastic in the computer.
If we knew more about the nature of the coating then maybe we'd have a course of action. I'd research the coating and see if there was a way to protect it.
Good luck! -
Is something happening with the US datacenter?
Our website is up, but all afternoon, I have been unable to log in to the designer to make changes. Of course this happens just as I realize that one of my links isn't working.
The status page isn't reporting anything.
Check with Live Chat support would be my next step. -
Why can´t I take a step back with the keyboard shortcut, cmd + ö, it was possible before, now you have to go to the bar at the top and "go back one step." I have Mac-systems, I also have mouse elbow, and do not want to use the mouse too often.
This article lists some other options for "Back" navigation. Do any of them work for you?

I can only listen to music in iTunes when i'm connected to the internet. Everything seems to have uploaded onto iCloud - something I didn't sign up for. Happened with the latest iTunes update.
All of the music is still on my computer, but when I play it through iTunes, it either buffers first (when I'm connected to the internet) or it is greyed out (offline) and I can't listen to it.
This is beyond annoying. Is there anything I can do to sort this out?
Cheers.Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?----------------------->

The "apple ID Password" box along with the keyboard pops up when I turn the iPad on and it stays there. I have changed my email address on my iMac and also changed my password. The old email address is still on the iPad. Anyway, I can't use the iPad because can't get the apple id password box to go away. Thanks for any help!
This is an older photo but the sleep and home buttons are still in the same place on all iPads. The home button is the round button at the bottom of the iPad and the sleep button is also called the on/off button and it is at the top right corner of the iPad.

Has something happened with drag n drop in ff11?
Ok, since ive updated to ff11, drag n drop with images no longer seems to work. before when i went onto google images to find images i was able to just drag an image into the page and of it goes, but now whenever i try it the cursor just become and black circle with a line through it signifying that that cant be done. Has something happened to the drag n drop feature from before the ff11 release, i was able to do it fine then???
Anyhelp?No, i dont use skype click-to-call, never heard of it.
Before i upgraded, i was able to go onto images.google.com then go into the My Pictures folder click and drag an image from that folder onto firefox to make google images become the top window then continue to drag to the search box to make the window show saying "drop image here" the drop it and it searches for that image. No MS Office apps involved.
*Update* while writing this message and going through the steps my self to give as much detail as possible, ff now allowed me to drop an image into google images to search for it, so it appears the prob has fixed itself? I do not know why it now works as opposed to the other day, as far as i am aware, nothing has changed. I only updated to ff11 the other day after i found out that avg link scanner was now compatible with ff11 and was going to downgrade ff to the previous version so that drag n drop would work again so it appears i may now not have to. I will keep this open for the next few days in case drag n drop stops working again which will save me having to re-create this post. -
I just purchased my first iPad (the new one) and a wireless keyboard. Is there a keyboard usage manual available anywhere that shows the functions of the keys? The info that came with the keyboard was very basic and my searches have been unsuccessful.
If you are using a Bluetooth keyboard on your iPad device, you should take advantage of the keyboard shortcuts for quicker access to copy, cut, paste, undo, redo, and other commands.

Option + Delete: Delete the word to the left of the cursor
Command + Up Arrow: Go to top of document
Command + Down Arrow: Go to bottom of document
Command + Left Arrow: Go to beginning of current line
Command + Right Arrow: Go to end of current line
F1: Dim screen
F2: Brighten screen
F7: Back one song
F8: Play/pause song
F9: Skip song
F10: Mute
F11: Decrease volume

I bough a used Macbook Pro mid 2009 that came with OS 10.8.9 it didn't have a backup restore disk with S/N W8******66D
When trying to view some youtube videos; a window would pop up saying "it needs adobe flash player is required for video play back get the latest flash player" but after downloading the file and during installation would have errors and will not installed.....tried to reboot and install again.....but still the same.
The othe thing I had noticed is when using a good Bose headset with mic the sound output would noticed the headset and then switch from headset to Internal speekers and headset.....thinking that there might be something wrong with the plug in port of the computer or the headset.....the headset works with no issues on my iPad so there must be something wrong with the computer.....tried to move the plugin around the port but no change....while the headset is plug in can hear a short clicking noise and the sound would get lost and back again......but with nothing plugin to the port there is no issue with the sound or mic.
Thanks for your feed back......it looks like I have two different issues one is a software issue and the outher is a hardware issue
<Edited By Host>The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check. -
Basically, I've already described the problem. Some songs play perfectly fine in itunes but the same songs corrupt when placed on different devices of varying age. Therefore, I don't think there's something wrong with the original file and I don't think there's something wrong with all of my devices. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
Hello there klundie,
I was researching the issue you are experiencing, and have come to the conclusion that the songs in question may need to be converted and re imported. This article, iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format outlines how to re import songs that are already in your itunes library, which I believe will resolve the issue.
You can find the article here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
To convert a song's file format:
Open iTunes Preferences.
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Click the General button, then click the Importing Settings button in the second section of the window.
From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
Select one or more songs in your library, then from the Advanced menu, choose one of the following (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences):
Create MP3 version
Create AAC version
Create AIFF version
Create WAV version
Create Apple Lossless version
If you haven't imported some songs into iTunes yet, you can import and convert them at the same time. This will create a converted copy of the file in your iTunes Library based on your iTunes preferences. To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows) and choose Advanced > ConvertImport preference setting. The Import preference setting will match what you chose in step 3. iTunes will prompt you for the location of the folder or disk you want to import and convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted. Note: Some purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted. iTunes Plus purchases are not protected and can be converted.
The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.
All the best,

What happened to the keyboard search function on the remote app? Was the only thing that really made it useful.
I am having the same issue. I can see a dimmed keyboard icon on the top right of screen, but cannot access the keyboard to enter information for Apple TV 2. Is anyone else having the same issue and are there any solutions to fix the problem?

Dreamweaver CC crashes when moving a DIV field with the keyboard arrows.
I'm really fond of the new Dreamweaver CC, but on some occasions, it crashes when moving a DIV field with the keyboard arrows, for example, to move it two or three pixels.
This is happening on a recent pc (i5 / 16Gb ram / Intel SSD / Bootcamped Windows 8 x64)
F12 is also really slow when publishing via Chrome. Firefox or Internet Explorer is faster.
Is there a fix for these issues?
Thanks,
DApart from the FluidGrid Layouts feature, DW is not a click and drag app like Photoshop or Muse. You should be using the CSS panels to align elements with floats, margins and padding.
Keep Chrome open and refresh browser (F5).

I would like to uninstall my old CS5 Design Premium from my computer to reinstall it on another computer. What are the steps? Is there something special with the activation codes, etc?
You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you prefer to you can keep ut on the current machine and just install it on the new one like you did originally. If you wish to eliminate it on the other machine, the first thing to do is to deactivate it by opening a program in the suite and selecting Help -> Deactivate in the top toolbar. That is all you need to do to disable the software. At this point if you prefer to you can uninstall it if you like.
As far as getting it on the new nmachine, as I just indicated, just install it like you did the first time. -
