Tab key on Original Macbook does not work

The Tab key no longer works when trying to tab over, or to tab to the next input box. However when you press Apple key Tab key, this key combo works. I would have thought at first that I had a bad key button for the tab but the fact that apple tab works leads me to think there is some setup I have messed up by accident.

Ok, the problem is in your original User account's Library folder. It could be a preference file. Drag the preferences folder from that Library to the Desktop and reboot into that account. You can always drag the folder back when you are done testing.

  • Convenience Key on my Torch does not work

    Hi Everyone!
    Seek your help as the convenience key on my torch does not work. I have changed the setting as well but to no avail.

    Solved!

    Hi just an update to the problem of the convenience key not working or working now and again. I had to do a couple of reboots this morning to update some apps and I noticed the key was not working after the reboot so I attached the charging cable to the phone and plugged into the wall socket thinking that will fix it again, but no it didnt. !!! I then remembered the first time I had this sorted I had plugged the charger in and switched the power on and then attached the phone, so I tried this method again and the key is working fine again!!!!. So what ever is happening when you do it in this sequence seems to reset the key. How did you get on with your phone with the Blackberry info?

  • Some keys on my MacBook are not working

  • Manually dispatching a keyboard tab event on a form does not work

    Hi,
    I am trying to solve the following issue:
    I have a form that is sitting on a TitleWindow. This is a popup window. I have a TextInput field. After clicking on the TextInput field when I try to paste something on it, nothing happens the first time and it works i.e. I am able to paste when I do a cntrl V the second time (I am trying to solve this weired behavior). When I use the keyboard to tab to the TextInput field I am able to paste using cntrl V  the first time itself.
    Therefore, I am trying to manually dispatch a tab keyboard event on a form using the following code and this does not work. I have 2 TextInput component on the form and I want the cursor to be on the second TextInput component.
    I have a have a key down handler and I can see that the event that comes in is a tab event, but on the UI the cursor does not position itself correctly.
    myForm.setFocus();
    myForm.dispatchEvent(
    new KeyboardEvent(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, true, false, Keyboard.TAB,Keyboard.TAB ))
    Am I missing something?
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks
    Lilly

    No I am not trying to change the text programmatically. I have added a click event handler and a paste event handler on the textinput. I checked the differences in the properties of event and did not see anything that is different.
    I have a hunch that it has something to do with the fact that this form is sitting on a popup window.

    Thank you again for your suggestions. I deleted the Skype application, but the "Phone" application continues not working. The version of the software that I have is 2.2, and i was told that I cannot update it to the last version, as my iPhone would be blocked doing so
    Therefore, following your recommendations, I resseted several times the iPhone, but nothing improved. Thank you anyway for taking your time trying to help me with your suggestions. Josep

  • Brightness keys on new MacBook Pro not working.

    I just received my first Mac in the mail two days ago.  Its the 13 inch Macbook Pro with Retina Display.  I've found that the brightness keys do nothing.  The icon pops up on the screen, but the brightness does not change.  I can chnage the brightness with the slider in system settings, but the keys won't function.  This thing is essentially just out of the box, so I'm wondering if this is a known issue or if I got a lemon?  Any work arounds would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Schlombo,
    I’d misinterpreted what you were after — to change the screen brightness rather than to change the keyboard brightness — so there are plenty of knuckles to go around for both of our heads. I hope that that will be the steepest part of the learning curve for you!

  • Text entry boxes in CP6 - Enter key to validate input does not work in Safari?

    I'm using Captivate 6 to create a step by step walkthrough of some different processes that are commonly completed in my workplace. Some of the example processes have portions where text is entered to simulate a process the end user might need.  I have text entry boxes in these slides that require validation of the input to move along, with Enter used as a shortcut key. This works great in Firefox, Chrome and IE all the way down to 8....but if the course is run in Safari, the enter key does nothing.  Is this a known issue?
    Additional info: For many of these text entry boxes, the point is that it is a search field that has a little binoculars icon next to it that executes the search in the actual software we are simulating. For these slides I actually have the submit button associated with the text box made invisible (no fill, no stroke) and placed on top of the binoculars icon. This is an acceptable method of doing the task we're demonstrating, and just so happens to be a workaround for the enter key not working in Safari. However, a few places we have text entry that doesn't have the search/binocular icon next to it because there is a different goal on that section of the software we're visualizing. In those cases, there is no place for me to put an invisible submit button, and I can't make the submit button visible because that's not how the software we're demonstrating would work (thus defeating the purpose of the training).

    Sorry, this is a known bug with no fix available yet, but the makers of SwiftKey are aware of it and we will work with them to fix it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617298
    For now, the only solution is to use a different keyboard when using Firefox.

  • I cannot open more than 1 Tab per window. The "+" does not work as well as the item "New Tab" from the File drop-down menu. What shall I do ?

    I have just removed FireFox and reinstalled it again on my Mac Book PRO.
    When I open FIreFox I canNOT open more than 1 TAB.
    I click on the "+"on the top line of the window. It should open another TAB but id does NOT.
    I click on the File item in the top menu bar. A drop-down menu pops up. I click on "New Tab" and nothing happens.
    How can I get more than 1 Tab on the same window ?
    This feature works with Safari !
    Thank you so much.
    Best regards

    We have seen reports about a Community Toolbar extension causing this issue with not being able to open a new tab.
    So if you have such a toolbar then start with disabling it.

  • New Hitachi hard drive in MacBook does not work

    I just got my new 320GB 2.5" Hitachi Travelstar 7K320 7200RPM SATA Notebook Drive with 16MB Cache from OWC and found it is not recognized when I try to install the OS from the optical disk.
    I took it back out and examined it and found that it does not have all of the pins the original has. It is lacking the set on the far left (when viewed from the top, with pins up). Being an SATA, it seems that it should be configured as a standard? Has anyone else had this problem?
    Ed

    Did you prep the drive?
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

  • W8: Key combination Fn + F6 does not work

    Hello,
    I am little bit frustrated with W8 on my T430s. The issue (not the first) is that when I use key combination Fn+F6 it tells me this:
    "This key combination opens the Lenovo Settings program. You do not have the Lenovo Settings installed on your computer. To launch the program using this key combination, install the program first."
    I am sure that Lenovo Settings Dependency package is installed in the latest version but key combination still do not work.
    Thank you for your advices.
    Petr

    Hey there petr_drda,
    With your T430s did you upgrade to Windows 8 or what it shipped with Windows 8 OEM?
    Only machines that were shipped with Windows 8 OEM currently have the Lenovo Settings App itself. The dependency package is the backend of this App that allows it to work. Those who have upgraded to Windows 8 do not currently have access to this app.
    What I have seen on another thread: "We are still working with Microsoft to make the Lenovo Settings app generally available to all users from the Windows Store.  It's not quite ready yet.  When it is, I'll post here." posted by someotherguy.
    If your machine was Windows 8 OEM, you may need to go into the Windows Metro App Store and download the Lenovo Settings App to your machine. I hope this helps.
