The command key - nothing happens. how can i check if it works (new to mac)
i have macbook pro 2013
and i am trying to figure out the command key and its use (next to space bar ) left hand side
when i press it nothing happens?
and also is there a delete key on the keyboard that above the return key rigth? and that doesnt seem to work either if i am on a file and press that arrow (left)
can anyone tell me if there is a problem ? or is there something i can try to see if it works? i have checked the keyboard mappings etc and its fine and set to default..
thank you
The command key is used in combination with other keys to do commands in apps as well as the Finder
The easiest way to tell if your command and Delete keys work is to highlight a file that you want to move to the Trash. Hold down the Command key and then hit the Delete key. The file should move to the trash.
here is a list of more keyboard shortcuts. http://www.danrodney.com/mac/

The Google search box was working correctly, then just seemed to stop of its own accord, mid-session.
Did you try to close and restart Firefox?
Did you try to reboot the computer?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. the only way I can get a capital i is by using the caps lock key what is going on. Also from time to time my mouse acts like someone is sitting on it. this stops when i press the command key. i am using the lateist wireless mouse and keypad.
does it only happen with the i key?
if it doesnt then try presing shift first then i (or any key) second instead of at the same time.
if it only happens with the i key then what i would do is take the keyboard and mouse to an apple store and ask them if they will hook it up on their computer to see if it is the keyboard or computer. -
I have an iphone 4 and cannot get my mute off when I am using Facetime. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. When I touch the mute button, nothing happens. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
the mute button is a switch you need to flip, not touch. if you look at it and see color, its on.

LR CC has just been installed but when I click on the desktop icon nothing happens, what can I try?
Probably is
You need a minimum of 10GB of free space for normal operations
You need to address that first - the best soution may be to get an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag your iPhoto library to it - depress the option key and launch iPhoto and point to that library
Hopefully that will let you get started - there may be additional repairs needed

Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts -
My IPhone shut off by itself and I can't turn it back on. My lock screen button is broken and I tried plugging it into the wall but nothing happened. Can you guys please help me.
IIf the battery was completely drained it might take some time before the phone will respond. Wait at least 30 minutes with the phone connected to the charger. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone starts up let it continue to charge until it's 100%.
if the broken button will not let you do the reset Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. -
i want to install lightroom previously installed on a macbook on a new macbook. I get an error message when I try to use the same serial number. How can I install lightroom on my new mac?
Oliver,
Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

I don't get anything on the monitor screen. During startup i can hear it going thru POST but never any screen image. Any ideas?
The "C" key will work if there is a bootable volume on a disk in the optical drive. Are you running OSX? Jaguar, Panther, Tiger? On OSX (UNIX) you can use the command "S" (⌘-S) at start up to go to the root and do a file system check: Type; fsck -f -y at the prompt when it appears then press Return; let the root check for problems and repair. To exit after the test type; reboot and press Return

When I press F11, nothing happens. how can I fix this?
I have been trying to get my screen to go full screen, but the F11 key does nothing. It is rather annoying to have to use the view menu tab. :/ I know it is not my keyboard since it works fine with every other browser. How can I fix this?
