SPACES PROBLEM//KEYBOARD ILLUMINATION PROBLEM

Hey Guys,
I have some problem. I have my MacBook Pro and the keyboard usually lights up when its dark but its not for some reason?
Also for the Spaces I set everthing up and I want to switch up to different spaces by control arrow or number key but it does not work. Only number key for space 1.

not sure about your spaces issue (perhaps some clarification is needed?)
i would check to make sure your keyboard illumination is enabled.

MSi GT70 keyboard illumination problem

Im having problems with my keyboard illumination and i dont know what to do. I already install twice the KLM and nothing happens . Pease i need some help.

Could you please provide more information regarding your notebook?
What is the full model number? GT70 0NE-242US? Or what?
What OS did the notebook originally come with?
Did the keyboard illumination originally work and now it doesn't recently?
Does it work when you first turn the computer on?

10.5.2 problems: Safari bookmarks and keyboard illumination

I have 10.5.2 bugs to report that I haven’t seen reported elsewhere yet: On my Intel Macbook Pro, since installing the 10.5.2 and graphics update, the illuminated keyboard has been permanently on regardless of ambient light, unless I switch it totally off in my system prefs. More importantly than that though, Safari hangs unrecoverably if I try to view my bookmarks.

I have the same keyboard illumination issue as well after upgrading from 105.1 to 10.5.2. While te F8-F10 keys function correctly turning on/off/dimming the lights. If I'm in a well lit environment, the keyboard lights up. If I put my hands over the speakers (where the light sensor is) the keyboard illumination dims. Definitely seems like the setting is backwards.

Backlit keyboard preferences problem

My backlit keyboard preferences aren't working. I have the "Illuminate keyboard in low light conditions" preference unchecked, yet the keyboard's backlight still comes on.
Also, usually, with this preference disabled (no backlight), when pressing one of the backlight keys (F8-F10), the backlight symbol would appear with a circle-slash icon. That's not happening either.
This is likely a problem where I could delete the keyboard preference and start from scratch. But I'm unsure which .plist is the correct one. Some searches through the preferences folder didn't turn up anything obvious.
Has anyone experiences this problem? And/or have some suggestions on how it might be solved?
Thanks in advance.

i was thinking their was something wrong with my keyboard illumination and then i realized i just had the light turned down. you can turn it up by pressing the key above the 6 key(it is the f6 button but without using the function modifier)

A possible solution for "foreight language keyboard shortcut" problem...

Hi(Bonjour)!
Everyone know the problem of losy keyboard layout when Final Cut is used with foreight language keyboard. We loose the COMMAND-Q shorcut.
As PieroF suggested in many posts in final cut express forum, there is a workaround:
"+I just installed Leopard and I ran into this keyboard shortcut problem.+
+I can confirm that:+
+a. the problem exists also with the Italian keyboard (in addition to other languages, as pointed by other posters)+
+b. the workaround I described in my previous answer works fine :+
+- close FCE (if open)+
+- open System Preferences/International/Language+
+- drag English to the first place on top of the other languages+
+- drag your own language (Italian in my case) again on top of English (at the end the window will show the same original settings, but something happened in the heart of Leopard...)+
+- close System Preferences+
+- open FCE: now all shortcuts work as expected, and are correctly listed with their corresponding menu commands+
+It's a workaround, it's not convenient (I'd better have this bug fixed), but apparently you have to apply it only once for each system startup.+
Piero "
As stated by Piero, you have to follow this procedure after each computer startup.
I found a way to restore the COMMAND-Q shortcut with the keyboard and mouse system pref panel.
Simply add Final Cut application and add a +custom shotcut+. Be careful to type exactly the "Quit Final Cut Express" menu.
This solution allows to restart the computer.
It's work with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro under Leopard 10.5.4.
Michel Boissonneault

Hi Michel,
I like your suggestion because the keyboard shortcuts defined in the system preferences do not require redefinition at each startup. So in theory we could define all missing/wrong shortcuts this way, and not only the cmd-Q as you suggested. Boring, but we could do it once for all.
The only problem is that I don't know how to define shortcuts for submenus, for example "Render Selection/Both": it seems system preferences allows only to define shortcuts for the menu ("Render Selection" - in this case absolutely useless) but not for the submenu.
Do you know a way ? (I looked in the help, which didn't... help).

Weird dreamweaver keyboard mapping problem

weird dreamweaver keyboard mapping problem:
Hope this solution helps someone out. If you have q's, ask
and I will try to help.
I was having a weird problem in dreamweaver... Whenever I was
in code view and typed "shift+i" to make a capital "I", instead it
would paste from the clipboard.
I finally figured out what was happening. I compared the
menu.xml in my app support folder in the user library to the
original menu.xml file that was in the application folder. I went
through until I came across the diff:
menu.xml in my library/app support folder:

<shortcut key="Cmd+Ins" name="Copy2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCopy()) { dw.clipCopy() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Copy2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Ins" name="Paste2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipPaste()) { dw.clipPaste() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Paste2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Del" name="Cut2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCut()) { dw.clipCut() }" domRequired="FALSE"
id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Cut2" />
orig menu.xml file:

<shortcut key="Cmd+Ins" name="Copy2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCopy()) { dw.clipCopy() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Copy2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Ins" name="Paste2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipPaste()) { dw.clipPaste() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Paste2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Del" name="Cut2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCut()) { dw.clipCut() }" domRequired="FALSE"
id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Cut2" />
There was a diff in the "platform=" tags. The orig stated
[platform="win"], my config stated [platform=""] (nothing in
between the ""'s). So, I reset the platform tag to be
[platform="win"] in my settings and then relaunched dreamweaver. It
fixed the problem.
Not sure how this occurred, but it works now.

Calling1.4.1 signed applet from Javascript causes keyboard/focus problems

Pretty sure there's a JRE bug here, but I'm posting to forums before I open one in case I'm missing something obvious :-)
This issue may be specific to IE, I haven't tested elsewhere yet. Our web application is centered around a signed applet that is initialized with XML data via Javascript. We first noticed the problem when our users started upgrading from the 1.3.x plug-in to the 1.4.x plug-in. The major symptom was that shortcut keys stopped working. I debugged the problem off and on for about a month before I boiled it down to a very simple program that demonstrates the issue (included below). Basically, the program has a function that adds a JButton to a JPanel and registers a keyboard listener (using the new DefaultKeyboardFocusManager class) that prints a message to the console. This function is called by the applet's init() method, as well as by a public method that can be called from Javascript (called callMeFromJavascript()). I also included a very simple HTML file that provides a button that calls the callMeFromJavascript() method. You can test this out yourself: To recreate, compile the class below, JAR it up, sign the JAR, and put in the same dir with the HTML file. Load the HTML file in IE 5.0 or greater, and bring the console up in a window right next to it. Now click the button that says init--you should see the small box appear inside the button that indicates it has the focus. Now press some keys on your keyboard. You should see "KEY PRESSED!!!" appearing in the console. This is proper behavior. Now click the Init Applet from Javascript button. It has removed the button called init, and added one called "javascript". Press this button. Notice there is no focus occurring. Now press your keyboard. No keyboard events are registered.
Where is gets interesting is that if you go back and make this an unsigned applet, and try it again, everything works fine. This bug only occurs if the applet is signed.
Furthermore, if you try it in 1.3, signed or unsigned, it also works. So this is almost certainly a 1.4 bug.
Anyone disagree? Better yet, anyone have a workaround? I've tried everything I could think of, including launching a thread from the init() method that sets up the components, and then just waits for the data to be set by Javascript. But it seems that ANY communication between the method called by Javascript and the code originating in init() corrupts something and we don't get keyboard events. This bug is killing my users who are very reliant on their shortcut keys for productivity, and we have a somewhat unique user interface that relies on Javascript for initialization. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

I tried adding the requestFocus() line you suggested... Same behavior.
A good thought, but as I mention in my description, the applet has no trouble gaining the focus initially (when init() is called). From what I have seen, it is only when the call stack has been touched by Javascript that I see problems. This is strange though: Your post gave me the idea of popping the whole panel into a JFrame... I tried it, and the keyboard/focus problem went away! It seems to happen only when the component hierarchy is descended from the JApplet's content pane. So that adds yet another variable: JRE 1.4 + Signed + Javascript + components descended from JApplet content pane.
And yes, signed or unsigned DOES seem to make a difference. Don't ask me to explain why, but I have run this little applet through quite a few single variable tests (change one variable and see what happens). The same JAR that can't receive keyboard events when signed, works just fine unsigned. Trust me, I'm just as baffled as you are.

(foreign) keyboard mapping problems

Many people, myself included, have voiced problems with keyboard mappings since updating to Leopard. It appears to particularly afflict people with non-US keyboards, but I may be wrong.
Does anybody out there have a generic fix? Manually modifying the keyboard map as the Latvians did seems to address (some of) the symptoms, not the underlying problem. Accordingly, it doesn't appear to be a general fix, as reported here:
http://m10lmac.blogspot.com/2007/10/fixing-leopards-latvian-keyboard.html
Here are some of the other posts I saw/wrote that make me think this is a SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM IN LEOPARD:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5794935&#5794935
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5644709&#5644709

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5854794
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5788789

Does anybody out there have a generic fix?
There is no generic fix because the problems are unrelated, except to the extent they represent goofs in creating certain files and failure to find these before release.
The Latvian keyboard issue is caused by errors in a particular .keylayout file. I don't know of any other similar layout with the same problem (In Tiger it was Macedonian and Romanian which had such errors). The Hanin Chinese IM problem is caused by errors in a couple of files particular to it -- all the other Chinese input systems have correct mappings. The X11 keyboard mapping problem concerns a different part of OS X than the others. The issues of QWERTY/AZERTY/QWERTZ in Chinese input were present in a different fashion in Tiger and earlier and many people have switched to a different IM called QIM to solve it. Having a dead Apple key is not related to ordinary character mapping issues.
Your own issue with ViaVoice is not totally clear to me, will try to respond in that thread.

Need Urgent Help in PM8M-V H problem - keyboard freeze

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie in this forum and I really need urgent help with my motherboard.
My PC specification:
Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz
MSI PM8M-V H W7104VMS v3.4 022206 14:32:17
1GB(512MB x 2) Kingston PC3200 400MHz
Seagate SATA II 320GB ST3320620SV (set with jumper to support SATA I)
Power Color ATI Radeon 9550 256MB
Lite-On DVDRW SHM-165P6S
USB mouse, PS/2 Keyboard
I really appreciate if anyone can help to guide me in solving my problem. My keyboard tends to freeze at the part where it says "Press any key to boot from CD". This limits me to do anything until I'm totally loaded into Windows. Thus, disable me to perform any formating and fresh installation of OS. However, the keyboards works fine at the begining of the POST and in BIOS. Is there any settings in BIOS that i should perform?.....
However, I realise in order to get through the foresaid message without the the keyboard freeze up is by keep on trying to boot up and shut down until it works (but only work once, then hv to try again), but this is not a solution as if what if I wanted to have 2 OS?... I cant use the keyboard to choose either of the OS installed. I have tried to change the RAM, change keyboard, use the build in VGA, or even remove the motherboard from the ATX casing - result: still have the same problem. What should I do??.. I have look around the forum for answers but there isnt any (I hope I didnt miss any). Is there any problem with my motherboard, or its BIOS, or any of the harware compatibility or etc..... what actually can I do?
I do not dare to perform any BIOS update Unnecessary (it seems that many have problems with BIOS problem in this forum) and moreover i think my BIOS is the most up-to-date. I cant find any new version in the net. Anyway I will check this topic frequently as possible to hope for any solution. What is the best solutions?
Thanks.

But the thing that makes me wonder is, my BIOS version is the latest but why this type of problem occurs??
What version of BIOS should I use?? Any recommendation ??
Thanks.

Space Designer Save Setting Problems

Space Designer Save Setting Problems
On the right side of the space designer you have "dry" and "rev" settings.
On reopening the plug-in the dry setting switches back to zero, although I saved it at a different setting...
Everytime, every project...

Does it do this on audio/software instrument channels and aux channels?
In general, when you load SD on an aux channel, Logic assumes it's going to be an FX return and so "helps you out" by setting the dry level to zero for you...
On other channel types it should work as expected...

Potential keyboard hardware problem T410

Dear all,
since yesterday I have been experiencing a problem with my T410, which is potentially due to
a hardware issue with the keyboard.
A few specific keys are not working anymore. These seem to be the Power On key, the Fn key,
the Alt Gr key, and the ThinkVantage key.
I am assuming it is a keyboard hardware problem, since I cannot use the Power On button to
start the laptop. Fortunately, this is possible using the fingerprint reader start-up.
When the laptop is running (using Windows 7) everything is working fine, except the mentioned
buttons. I cannot access any Fn button functions (e.g. the reading lamp) or Alt Gr symbols (e.g.
the @ symbol which is on my keyboard on the 2 button) or power down with the Power button.
I tried various easy fixes:
* Making sure all drivers are up to date
* Remove and reattach the keyboard
* Static discharge procedure (unplug all power, 10 presses and 30 sec holding of power button)
* Checking Bios settings
* Replace battery
Unfortunately, these did not change the situation.
I am wondering if the simultaneous malfunctioning of these specific buttons points to a certain
hardware problem. I hope a replacement of the keyboard might solve this, but it could be an
issue with the motherboard.
Any hints would be welcome.
Thank you,
MH
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dear all,
thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately, it was not the keyboard. It appears to
be a more serious problem. In fact, since yesterday the laptop does not boot correctly
anymore. The boot process is started, but I only end up with a black screen, and some
randomly colored first few lines at the top of the display.
It all points to a major malfunction. Unfortunately, the warranty expired 3 months ago...

mh

System Prefs. problem. Application problems. Need advice.

The problems I am having:
1) Mail will not open. It hangs, shows beach ball and stays that way. All you see is the menu-bar. Force quit will not work. Only hard reset. Activity Monitor shows the app sucking up 87-95% of processor.
2) System preferences are not staying. Specifically, my mouse preferences for scrolling, keyboard illumination, Safari address bar buttons. This gets worse if I have to do a hard reset if Mail gets launched. It can clean the whole system prefs. sometimes. (update: My 2 finger scrolling goes off even when I haven't shut down, restarted, etc. I have to go into Sys. Prefs. and recheck it)
Let me start from the beginning of the problem:
I was on a website for a real estate company. It uses an active server application that never works right with a Mac. I almost always use Safari for it. What happens is that the sever app. usually hangs and won't go to the next page. I've tried all my browsers except Opera, so, I figure I would give that a go and see if it's better. BAD IDEA! Opera 8.6 hung. It wouldn't force quit. I had to do a hard reset like , 5 times, before it would restart. After that happened is when things got bad. My system prefs. were all gone. I had to reset all that. And then, Mail just went t1t5 up. It did what I said above. Hung. So I had to figure out how I was gonna get all my mail over into Thunderbird. I backed up the HD, and luckily, through Apple forums and Google, came up with the .emlx to .mbox converter. Tedious but worked. I deleted Opera off my HD as well as Mail. I am not even gonna bother with Mail again after having to deal with Apple's stupid file format and having no way to import a back-up. Thunderbird is way better and PGP actually works on it. Scr3w Opera as well.
At this point, my biggest problem I have is that my system prefs don't always seem to stick. I need to find out which files are associated with this and fix it. I am also paranoid that something got backdoored on my system and is causing havoc. Although I doubt this happened, I would like to see if someone can look at my processes and see if anything looks abnormal. All these problems have happened with my standard account with no Admin privileges ( unless I type in the Authorization on a per instance event). My Admin account is not having problems and my other standard account is OK. So I am pretty sure it's a local problem and not associated with root.
Anyone knowledgeable with some good ideas would be appreciated. I almost never have problems. I'm kinda p155ed this happened. Luckily I could still do a back-up and was not in a recording session or anything.

I'm having similar problems to those described by ~scot. The apps that won't launch are (so far)
Mail
Address Book
Safari
Safari gives the spinning beach ball, but Mail and Address Book merely show the black triangle indicating they are running (though they are not.)
Force quits are fights. I haven't had to restart but I have to use the force quit menu command or the "three fingered salute" four or 5 times.
Have deleted plist for Safari but hesitated to do so for Mail and Address Books because of fear of losing more than settings - perhaps too cautious but if anyone knows of another way I would prefer that.
Rebooted from original discs and ran Disk First Aid, ran TechTool Pro and Disk Warrior to no effect. Had run Onyx for regular maintenance the week before the problems began but have not done so since.
Suggestions gratefully welcome!
