Startup manager shortcut stopped working

I usually run OS 10.8.5 but I have 10.6.8 on a separate internal drive and sometimes start up from that drive when I need to run applications that won't work on 10.8.5. Yesterday, the startup manager shortcut stopped working. I restarted holding down the option key as usual, heard the chimes, kept holding the option key and the computer hung on a blank white page. I tried this a number of times. I repaired preferences and checked the disks, but this didn't fix it. I didn't reset the p-ram (I'm afraid that this will cause trouble). Any ideas?

That is not good news.
Option-Boot code is All in ROM. As you know, it is very slow to discover all potentially-bootable devices, bit it should discover some within a minute, not leave the screen white.
Have you tried with a 10.6 DVD in the DVD Reader?
Perhaps one of your Drives is messing up the SATA Bus.

Adobe CEP Service Manager has stopped working

I had repeated problems installing Creative Cloud for the desktop, after it asked me to upgrade.
After renaming OOBE and using the cleaning tool several times, i got Creative Cloud to finally install.
But when I tried to run it, I get "Adobe CEP Service Manager has stopped working".
So I'm still dead in the water. This is just the latest of a string of problems I've had in installing
Creative Cloud for the desktop on my several PCs.
Any suggestions?

Hi Ken,
Does right click run and Administrator when launching the Creative Cloud for desktop make any difference?

Keyboard shortcuts stopped working after upgrading to iOS 7

Does anyone know how to make the keyboard shortcuts start working again in iOS 8? After I upgraded to I OS 8 on my iPad air, the keyboard shortcut stopped working. Is there anyone who knows how to make this work again? All the fixes online pertain to iOS 7 and earlier, and they're not applicable for iOS 8.
Hope someone can help!
Thanks!

I lost all my keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 5s after upgrading to iOS 8. They still showed up on my iPad Air (iOS 8) and iMac (10.9.5). There were, however, massive sync problems, sometimes they would only flow from one device to all the others, sometimes from one device to only one of the other two, sometimes not at all.
I deleted all my shortcuts and started from scratch, deleting “~/Library/Application Support/Ubiquity”, ~/Library/Dictionaries” and “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput” from the iMac and KeyboardDomain from my iOS devices.
Rebooted everything a dozen times.
Toggled Documents & Data Sync off and on a dozen times too in all kinds of combination with rebooting and deleting the aforementioned files.
Everything always starts working and syncing fine for a very short while, but sooner or later one of my devices stops receiving new shortcuts as I re-add them.
I reboot that device and it catches up. I enter new shortcuts, and that device doesn’t get any new shortcuts. This time, a reboot doesn’t fix anything.
After using my devices for a while, I notice shortcuts are entirely gone from both the iPhone and iPad, but not from the iMac.
I even upgraded my iPhone 5s to a 6, and right off the bat it had issues with keyboard shortcut sync. I also setup my iPad as new, and same thing: right off the bat, sync issues with keyboard shortcuts.

Recovery Manager has stopped working

Hi,
when trying to run the HP Recovery Manager on a HP Pavilion DV6-3180ea notebook, the error "Recover Manager has stopped working" occurs.
Any ideas? Should I try reinstalling Recovery Manager?

Restart the PC and start continuously tapping F11 when you see the HP logo, this will start Recovery manager from the bios, see if it works using this method.

Blackberry Link Peer Manager Has Stopped Working

Hello,
Sorry if this message has already been posted before, but I have downloaded the latest version of Blackberry Link (previous version worked fine) but just as the download is completed I receive a message telling me that Blackberry Link Peer Manager has stopped working and the programme basically cannot be used.
I use Windows Vista and have no such problems before.
Could you please let me know if this has happened before and what solutions there might be.
Thanks Glen.

Hi Waterbuoy - I am still having the same problem and have done everything you have done as well. I have removed the programme, run CCleaner but the same problem every time. Just as the download is about to finish the peer manager stops working and the programme download closes. Makes it very difficult to back up (impossible) the phone and sync with MS Outlook.
BlackBerry please fix this as I know we are not the only ones with this problem.

Installation Error: "Adobe Application Manager has stopped working"

Alright, so I did about 4/5 hours of googling and searching and trial&error, and FINALLY got passed the issue of a "pending machine restart" at the beginning of the Adobe Installer's work. (All explained http://forums.adobe.com/thread/872455?tstart=0.)
The issue with the Application Manager is what is stopping me now.
Once it gets to about 3/4 through the installation, a 'Microsoft Windows' window pops up stating "Adobe Application Manager has stopped working". It searches for a solution, finds not, and gives me no choice but to "Close Program".
Don't know how to fix this... please help. I've been searching for nearly 3 hours now trying anything I can find or think of doing. If you have had a similar situation or even a suggestion, please let me in on it! Thank you all very much!
-Rebecca

I'm not even sure what it was downloaded to. Should I delete the application
manager and the download it again with ie to see if it works then? And if
not, try it again only with Firefox?
Edit: I tried this and had no luck. Need some serious help...

Camera switching keyboard shortcuts stopped working

I'm working on a multicam sequence, and I can switch cameras by clicking on the different shots in multicam view, but using the 1, 2, and 3 keys on the keyboard no longer switches the camera while I'm playing through.
I've tried changing the shortcuts to different keys, but that didn't fix anything.
Anybody else run into this issue?
I feel like it's probably a toggle I inadvertently hit somewhere, but I have no idea how it happened.

Thanks for the quick reply, but unfortunately I don't think that solves it.
If I have the multicam sequence paused, and have the clip selected on the timeline, I can switch between camera angles with no problem.
However, as soon as I start playing the sequence in the multicam monitor, the keyboard shortcuts stop working.
Also, the only keyboard layout I have installed is US English.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found this on another site:
1.) Start the Desktop Manager software
2.) Connect the blackberry using USB Connector
3.) Select "back-up and restore"
4.) Select "advanced"
5.) Look at the list of information showing in the "device memory" window on your computer
6.) Select "calender all" and DELETE it
7.) Go back to the main screen and syncronize.
8.) Everything should work fine!
In essence it was a corrupt calendar data file on the Blackberry device, apparently.

TS1967 my itunes shortcut stopped working

the itune shortcut stopped working, so i deleted it bec. that was the only option.
i resintalled the latest itunes & still- can't figure this out.
went into music folder, itunes is in there, but not a new player icon. i can't figure out how to launch this again w/o the shortcut icon.
i can see the library is there, so figure the songs aren't lost.
help!

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Desktop Manager Has Stopped Working @ Processing Device Calendar During Sync Process

I have a BB 8330 and have an annoying issue....it sync'd with MS Outlook for about 2 months after i got it then I started getting an error inthe sync process "Blackberry Desktop Manager Has Stopped Working, Windows is shutting it Down"....this always happens at the exact same point inthe sync process..."Processing Device Calendar".
I've done everything, Verizon tech support...BB tech support...uninstall/reinstall...nothing has fixed it. I even deleted everything out of outlook and started over. The odd thing is that everything EXCEPT the calendar will sync....it's just when it gets to the "processing device calendar" is stops syncing and I get the 'DM Has stopped working' error and it closes.
I am going to scream if I can't get this fixed...it's been going on since last October!!
Any fixes out there?

Hmm. That may be something in your calendar database is corrupt. Was your device ever synched before? There is a way of clearing the calendar database. So if you have your device synching with Outlook, after it's cleared from the BlackBerry, you could try synching again.
To clear the calendar database you can go into Desktop Manager | Backup and Restore | Advanced. On the right hand side select the calendar database and hit the Clear button. Afterwards try synching again

Keyboard shortcuts stopped working PS v11.0.2 Win7

argh. The keyboard shortcuts stopped working a few weeks ago and I've been trying so many fixes that worked for others, but none work for me.
Photoshop v11.0.2
Windows 7
Dell Laptop Studio 1555
I periodically reset my prefereces - it does nothing to change the fact that the keyboard shorts don't work.
I've done a system restore to a date before this issue began. Nope, didn't work.
Not one of the shortcuts work. Not open, not close, not transform, not save, not cut, not copy, not paste..... This is incredibly frustrating in addition to wasting time because I STILL (lol) try to use the shortcuts. I've used them since 1991 and it's ingrained in me.
Please, I hope someone has a remedy. As I research, I see more and more people having this problem.

You can always try mapping your own key's. If you insist..

Honestly, unless you need the NUM-Padd there are a lot of manufactures out there that make great wired/wireless keyboards that will support OS X out of the box. You can buy them at 7-11 I hear.
It's up to you, hears a little something to read from Microsoft, since your a noobie.

Microsoft bootstrap manager has stopped working in my Lenovo G560!!!

I recently downgraded my Lenovo G560 to Windows 7 Ultimate from Windows 8 Pro (Werfault.exe error continued to reoccur even after clean installs). However, after reinstalling my drivers and programs, I cannot install any Office programs. I have tried installing Office 2013 and it encounters an error; Microsoft bootstrap manager has stopped working to be particular. I re-tried with Office 2010 and the installation fails to complete citing an error. These two office packages have previously worked in my G560. Used Office 2010 for a while before installing Office 2013 which I have used for two months. Does the recent install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit have anything to do with it? How can I fix it? Any help will be appreciated.

I'll try that in a few days. I'm currently on the road. Didn't carry my external HDDs with me. Will try it then let you know.
