Spacebar and other shortkeys don't work...

Hello lads!
I've ran into a big problem my G5(osx 10.3.7)...Some of the shortcuts in the Adobe CS package don't work anymore and the spacebar fails in any application!
I'm a newbee with the mac, and i don't understand anything about the key failures...Allready plugged the keyboard in and out, updated my osx 10.3.5 to 7... restored the keyboard settings...
Please can someone tell me what is wrong...? I'm going mad about it...
Gr, Jelmer

It sounds like there might be a problem with your keyboard. Borrow or buy a USB keyboard (it can be a PC keyboard if that's all that you have access to), and plug it into your Mac and see if all of the keys work properly in your applications. If it does, replace your keyboard.
Another way to test your keyboard from a software perspective would be to create a new user account, login to that account, and see if all of your keys behave properly in your apps. If they do, then it would definitely point to this being a software issues...possibly a corrupt preference file for the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane.

Satellite A660 - touch pad on/off and other buttons don't work

Dear People on this forum,
Recently, around 3 weeks ago i opened up my computer and i cleaned it, took the dust out because it was overheating.
around 2 weeks before I noticed that my touch pad is not working and the top buttons are not working, there is no light (wireless multimedia sound buttons) I cant turn them off/on or I either don't know how. I am not sure if the problem is because I cleaned my laptop and did not connect some wires back but I am including this detail because I don't use those buttons so I did not notice if they were on. but 2 days ago I am not sure how my wireless went off ant when I press fn+f8 (wireless) it says wireless communication switch is off, which is one of the buttons that is not working (at the top next to of/on switch including with my touch pad)
I have tried the following:
windows update
turn off computer take out all wires and battery and wait for around 30min. Then hold then on button for 30s
reinstalling the flash cards support utility, hw setup and value added pack
and finally a Toshiba out of the box recovery using the 2 product recovery cd's
I am not sure what to do next. it is either:
try something else
or is there a wire is connected to both touch pad and the buttons at the top and i should open up my laptop again and connect them.
please answer as to my next step to recovering my wireless.

Please dont understand me wrong but I dont know how to help you now. Notebook disassembling is for authorized people only and if you do this on your own there is always a risk that something can be done wrong or maybe damaged.
OK I must also say that I have also disassembled my machine too but I was lucky and everything is OK as before.
I dont know how A660 looks inside but the principle is always the same and I cannot imagine you have damaged anything.
You know very well that we cannot say much about your problem. What you should do now is final functionality test and install original recovery image that you got with your notebook. Test functionality with factory settings. If the problem is still there, Im afraid you must open notebook again and check if everything is connected properly.
Last option is to contact service and ask for help.

What happened to the File, Edit, and View menus for mac 0s10.8.3? f10 and other solutions don't work?esn't work

I just got a new mac OS 10.8.3 and newest firefox. I can't find the menus bar, I can't close it without force quiting, can't even tell what version I have. Everytime I try to use the arrows to change the view as suggested full screen makes it worse. I have researched the subject and tried recommended fixes like F10, optionF, etc. and nothing is working. Please help?

The menus have been ported to the top left corner, it says Firefox and has its icon, that is the new menu. If you dont like it and want the old one you have to.
# Right Click the tab bar
# Context menu should show
# Click "Menu Bar"
and you now have the menu back.

Word for Mac and other products don't work with Yosemite

Constant crashes of Word, PPT and Excel after Yosemite install. Does anyone know why?

I had to uninstall a network printer which seemed to be involved somehow because the crashes were occurring when I tried to use that printer - however it may be coincidental. Right now I am not getting any crashes but I am very regretful that I installed Yosemite! Features that I had in Mail like removing attachments from messages not longer seems to be available and this business with the printer is strange.

I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login.

Any ideas how I can get around the password and login. I tried the method where you go into single user mode and type in commands, however that method uses some of the letters that are not working on my laptop.

You didn't mention which version of OS X your running but there are password reset utilities provided OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier) - Apple Support or OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - Apple Support
Alternately you can use an external keyboard to log in and change the password. Make a backup if you don't have one, it's likely that your problems aren't over. If that water continues to migrate downward and fries the logic board your macbook will be toast.

IPad 2 Rotation, Sleep, and Volume Buttons Don't Work.

I have an iPad 2 running 7.1.1 (11D201) and just yesterday the sleep sleep and volume buttons don't work, and the screen won't rotate at all. I have already tried the following:
Switched the Lock Rotation/Mute settings in General
Power cycling it
Held the sleep and menu button to reset it (the button worked for that at least)
Done a network reset
Reset All Settings and restored from backup
Reset All Settings and restored from iCloud
Erase All Content and Settings and restored from backup
Erase All Content and Settings and restored from iCloud
If anyone has any OTHER suggestions besides what I've already tried, I am all ears. Thanks.

Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

My Microsoft Intellimouse back and forward buttons don't work in Firefox, but they do in IE and in Windows Explorer. It used to work, now it just stopped. Why and how can I fix this?

Forward and back buttons don't work in Firefox but do everywhere else.

Make sure that you set those buttons to the default action in your mouse driver software (Control Panel > Mouse or specific Intellimouse driver software).

My earphones mic and volume buttons don't work ever since the iOS 8.1 update! Please help me. One discussion person says they bought a new pair and THEY don't work either. What do I do? I'm about to have a breakdown!

I rely heavily on my earphones because well... I'm lazy but they don't work. They work on my friend's iPhone who hasn't updated yet but I've updayed and the mic and volume buttons don't work. Please make a correct update!

Nope, still same problem. I did an install, didn't work. Then I completely removed my IDT driver, restarted, installed the driver, restarted, same problem.
When I troubleshoot my audio it always asks me which one to troubleshoot. It only works if I do one of the "Speakers / HP - IDT" but I don't know why it has so many devices listed with the same name.
Also, after I troubleshoot and I can hear audio, if I go to "Manage audio devices" it still shows that no audio device is installed, which is why the webinars won't work.

Accordion Panels and List Menu don't work if I place html files in subfolders

Hi all,
Switched from Dreamweaver to Muse and I have very limited knowledge of code.
Not an IT expert and not a web developer this is just for my own site.
I have sub-folders in my site. All html files are inside sub-folders except index.
ie contact.html or products.html I move them manually from root to the subfolder, using the easy interface of Dreamweaver. I call the subfolder "en"
so I can have pages such as mysite.com/en/contact.html
In the subfolder I copy and paste from root the css, images and script folders,
keeping the original css/images/scripts as well, in the root, so index.html is not affected.
and same time the look of the html pages inside the subfolders does not change.
BUT
list menus and accordion panels don't work. I click and there is no movement
How can I solve this ? I know Muse does not allow the creation of subfolders,
everything is uploaded in the root.
When in Dreamweaver I had placed 50 pages in subfolders and I was indexing them in google and bing.
Now can't again put 50 pages in root and can't remove URLs and make new indexing for all these pages
Any help ? many thanks for any assistance.

The iPhone, like the Ipad, uses the Mobile Safari browser, so here's an earlier thread that might give you some insight: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/613494

Mobile wifi mouse back and forward functions don't work

I just bought the hp wifi mobile mouse model MOWFFKUL and back and forward functions don't work and it's driving me crazy. I bought it for these specific functions. At first I thought that it was a broken mouse. So I went and returned it, got back home, and the same thing. I set the side buttons to other functrion options and they work. What the hell??? just the back and forward buttons don't. I'm losing my mind big time because I REALLY NEED those buttons/functions to work!! All the regular top buttons functrion fine, it's only the back forward setting that DOESN't WORK.

I restarted my laptop, and the buttons worked! For only 2 minutes. Then nada ever again. What a POS. Come on HP, give a solution. I bought and returned it twice, which makes this my third wifi mouse. What a waste of my time. I think I'm just gonna return this mouse and forget the wifi mouse. Functionality is more important than a freed up USB port. I bought it for the forward/backward buttons specifically. HP used to make wonderful products, but this experience bring that into question now.

Tabulation and arrow keys don�t work through ssh

Hi!
I just got a solaris 10 on a v240. But I loggin through SSH, tabulation key and arroy keys don� t work. It � s quite nasty because I cannot just repeat a command for example, I�ve to type it allover again. I� m quite surprised because I have an old solaris where it does work without problem. Should I change something in the configuration?
Thanks

Is your shell one that you want?
csh and sh don't support autocompletion or arrow histories. you'd need tcsh or bash or something.
