TS1297 how to uncheck, Press option key five times to turn Mouse keys on or off?

Hello,
Can you please help me, how to uncheck, Press option key five times to turn Mouse keys on or off, Coz its greyed out
I can't click it. Thanks for the help.

From the Finder menu bar, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... and enter
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.universalaccess.plist
in the text box that opens. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. In the Sharing & Permissions section of that window, do you have read & write access? Is the file locked? What is its modification date?

How to uncheck the "Optional Offer"?

Hi,
I noticed that if you want to download the Flash Player at Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player, the "Optional Offer" is checked by default.
I don't want to send my users to that page, because that's very untrustive and a bad practive.
What is an alternative to get the latest Flash Player? Is it possible to uncheck the "Optional Offer"?
.@Adobe Gain respect and trust by make the "Optional Offer" OPT-IN by default instead of the current OPT-OUT!
Thanks

You are not addressing Adobe here; this is a user forum. I suggest that you download the offline installers, which are not bundled with any 3rd-party software:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player for Mac OS X

How to use the validation work in Both TAB and Mouse keys in Forms6i

Hi,
I have a validation script once it's validated it should execute the query.But using When-Validate-Item i can't use execute_query.I am able to use the validation in Key-Next-Item trigger but if the user moves the cursor using mouse then it's not working.
How to use the validation script working in Both Scenarios(Tab and Mouse keys).
Can anyone please give inputs to rectify the above issue?.

So you have multiple fields, but on at least one of them if it's valid you immediately want to execute the query?
You could create a hidden field in a control block Query_Now default 'N'. In a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM on your item, if it's determined to be valid, then set Query_Now to 'Y'.
In a WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE at block level, check if Query_Now is 'Y'. If it is then execute the query (and set it back to 'N').

How can I restore Thunderbird behavior so I can delete emails by pressing delete key multiple times (without using mouse to change focus back to message list)?

Thunderbird 24.3.0 (latest under OpenBSD)
I (like most people) get spam in my inbox. When there are multiple spam messages in a row in my inbox I used to click on the first message and then press the delete key repeatedly for each sequential spam message.
After upgrading, this doesn't work. Instead, when I click a message it opens in the message preview pane and moves the focus to the message. Thus I need to click twice to even be able to press the delete key to delete one message. When I press the delete key, the message is deleted and the highlighted message becomes the next one in the list. This opens the message in the preview pane and again shifts the focus to the message. Thus I can't press the delete key again but must move the mouse to click on the message before I can delete it.
As a result, what used to be a very fast process of weeding through spam has become a real annoyance.
I realize I can hide the message preview pane to prevent the focus from moving, but this means I must delete solely based on the email subject/sender -- or open each message (which is even slower).
I also realize that I can press tab multiple times (sometime 4, sometimes many more) to shift the focus back but that's not much faster than using the mouse.
How can I prevent Thunderbird from shifting the focus away from the email list panel unless I actually click somewhere else?

Well said! And you said it about six weeks ago. And 4 other people said "Me Too." - I guess we're screwed.
I guess it's time to switch to GMail.
Such a trivial thing, but it irritates me every single time.

My wife and I have separate login for the Macbook, and separate iCloud accounts, by my contacts still sync to her iPhone. Why is this, and how can we fix it so every time she turns iCloud on, she doesn't end up with all my contacts?

Hey everyone,
This problem has been bugging me for a very long time, and have not been able to find the answer I am looking for.
My wife and I both have separate iphone's with separate iCloud accounts and all. We also both use a Macbook Pro with separate logins.
The issue is, when my wife logs in to her account on the macbook, and turns the contacts on to sync with icloud on her phone, all of my contacts are saving to her phone.
This has happened multiple times, and she says she just wont use it, but I rather have everything work together correctly.
Please help!!!

If you share an Apple ID, both of your phone numbers should be linked to that ID. You should be able to use your phone number as well. My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, and we each text from our iOS devices using our own iPhone numbers.
When iOS 6 came out, you were able to link the phone number with your Apple ID to use for Messages and FaceTime. You will need to sign out of messages on all devices and then start the process all over again.
Take a look at this.

How do I shut down Firefox to install updates (turning my Dell desktop computer off & then on has no effect) ?

When I log on to Firefox a message appears "Update could not be installed. Make sure no other copies of Firefox are running on your computer"

Hi there dechonj,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

P.S. The iTunes media is kept in a separate location from the iTunes application, so it is unlikely that you music is damaged.

Mouse keys

Hi, my mouse has stopped working. How do I turn on mouse keys through my keyboard?

If you have preset the option in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts for the Tab key to move keyboard focus between "All controls" there is a way.
Press Fn-Control-F2 and the icon for the Apple menu should be highlighted. (You can move to other menus by using the right and left arrow keys if needed, though not in this case).
Press the down arrow key. This should open the Apple menu.
Press the down arrow key again until the item System Preferences is highlighted.
Press the Return key, and System Preferences should open.
Press the tab key, and the items in the System Preferences array should be highlighted in turn. Once one of the is highlighted, you can also use the arrow keys to move the selection choice.
Move the selection choice until the item Universal Access is highlighted.
Press Option-Spacebar which should open that item.
Use the Tab key to highlight the tab Mouse.
Press Option-Spacebar to open that tab.
Use the Tab key to highlight the "Press the Option key five times to toggle Mouse Keys" item.
Press Option-Spacebar to checkmark that item.
Then, when you need to use Mouse Keys you can press Option five times in a row and it will become active; press it five times in a row again to toggle Mouse Keys off. Note - while Mouse Keys is active, some normal keyboard functioning (such as being able to type characters) may not be available.

Mouse required to turn on Mouse Keys!

This is possibly the most asinine thing I've run into yet on the Mac. Within the system preferences, I have not found any way to navigate the options within any given preferences pane window using the keyboard, including the Universal Access preferences pane! It seems that in order to turn on universal access, one must be able to use the computer in normal mode. I can't imagine it would be so difficult to make the preferences panes navigatable via the tab key (or tab+modifier key), as is done in the Windows operating system. Am I missing something here?
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Bruce's reply is correct, but perhaps a little brief.
To turn on Mouse Keys without a mouse, do the following:
0) Press Ctrl-F2. Focus moves to Apple menu, which is highlighted.
1) Press down arrow five times. System Preferences is highlighted.
2) Press Return. System Preferences opens.
3) Type UNIV. Universal Access pane is highlighted, everything else is greyed out.
4) Press Return. Universal Access opens.
5) Press Tab once, then right arrow three times. The Mouse Keys pane opens.
6) Turn Mouse Keys on by pressing Tab once, then left arrow (a radio button is activated).
7) It's a good idea to press Tab once more, then Space bar. This sets the option to activate Mouse Keys using the Option key. Once this is done, press Option five times to toggle Mouse Keys on and off.
Hope this helps,
Archie

How to open files with "return" key and delete files with "delete" key?

Hi friends,
It's been over a week since I got my iMac and I'm loving it. However, while I'm adapting alright to 'mac' key shortcuts (e.g. using the COMMAND-S for save as opposed to CONTROL-S used in PC).
However, there are 2 things that are annoying me greatly right now.
1. I like selecting files with keys as opposed to using the mouse. I make animations and prefer keyboard shortcuts. However, when I hit "return", instead of opening the file it goes into file-renaming mode. How do I change this? Likewise, I would like to delete files by hitting the delete key. This does not work - how do I change this?
2. When I click SHIFT key sometimes, it gets 'stuck' - which is annoying because I start typing CAPITALS when I wasn't aware I've activated the CAP-LOCK key. How do I get rid of this? Like, I don't want to hit SHIFT for instance, and have that up arrow thing 'stuck' there.
Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi
Thanks for the star.
If you went into Mac Help & searched, 2 results come up:
Full keyboard access shortcuts for interacting with items (for selecting & activating controls).
Full keyboard navigation keyboard shortcuts (for navigating Desktop, Windows, Menu bar etc)
From the lists, select the link that closely describes your situation.
I have to say that I can't reproduce your problem, does this happen just in applications or in everything? I don't know if it's to do with this but pressing Shift 5 times turns on Sticky Keys & Option(Alt) 5 times to turn on Mouse Keys (System Preferences>Universal Access>Keyboard).
After typing "Sticky Keys" into Mac Help, I found this:
"Pressing a group of modifier keys as a sequence
To perform many tasks on your computer, you need to press one or more modifier keys (Shift, Command, Option, and Control) at the same time as another key. For example, pressing Shift-Command-Q in the Finder opens the Logout dialog.
If you have difficulty pressing several keys at once, you can make it easier to press a set of keys by turning on Sticky Keys in the Universal Access preferences pane. With Sticky Keys turned on, you can press a set of modifier keys as a sequence. As you press each key, the symbol for the modifier key appears on the screen.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Universal Access. Then click Keyboard.
Select the On button next to Sticky Keys.
To hear a sound whenever the computer registers that you have pressed a modifier key, select "Beep when a modifier key is set."
To see an icon indicating which modifier keys you have pressed, select "Display pressed keys on screen."
You can also use Slow Keys to adjust the amount of time between when you press a key and when it is activated."
Any of this close to your problem?
Steve
Edit: I'm right, it's Sticky Keys:

i had the same problem. what solved this for me was to simply go to device manager and under mice and other pointing devices uninstall the touchpad, i had a usb mouse handy just in case i needed it, but then i restarted the laptop and it auto reinstalled touchpad for me and then all options worked on startup.

Hi LamboMong,
just try this:
http://refit.sourceforge.net
install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
(The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
I hope that will solve your problem.
