Turn on and of Bluetooth using a keyboard shortcut

I recently purchased a new MacPro with new Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.... but the signal is interfering with a video signal bounce unit I have for me living room and kitchen TV. It's annoying turning off Bluetooth and then having to get a wired mouse to get it back on... is there a quick keyboard shortcut that exists or that I could create that would achieve the same effect.
Any suggestions most welcome.
Anthony

Hi Taylor... and thanks for your reply.
That would be all well and good if I knew how to run an Applescript... I'm over 23 years a MacUser and I couldn't for the life of me know how to do an AppleScript.... is there any easy tutorials about... ? But your idea sounds like the solution for sure.... just a quick keyboard combo would sort the issue and I could get to keep my new Magic Mouse & Trackpad... otherwise I will have to revert back to the Mighty Mouse... as the TV in my household is more important than some wireless gizmo...
Talk soon....
Anthony

Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
Thanks
Derek

Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

I can no longer use the keyboard shortcuts, 'command C' and 'command V'. Did I inadvertently do something to my keyboard or computer that caused this? Is there a way to fix it?

You can also check in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, make sure that custom shortcuts were not created using those same commands. If ones were, they could be creating a conflict. Step throuogh each of the items in the left list, checking the array presented in the right pane for each.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When icloud drive is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.

When iCloud Drive is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.
ANyone found a solution to this?
I Have tried it several times and when tured off iCloud Drive and tested the shortcuts on an email, all was working ok...turning icloud drive on again and again the keyboard shortcuts stoped working. Solutions?

Hi Susana,
I have a similar problem: when updating to iOS 8 my iPhone 5 the shortcuts disappeared and more over the keyboard often gets stuck. When repeatedly turning off iCloud drive the shortcuts are present again and the keyboard works as it should. A factory reset of my iPhone was not successful.
The only "workaround" seems to turn off iCloud drive, however, this is of course no solution at all.
Since reports on keyboard malfunctions are rather rare in this community, I think, you and I are using some special settings or apps which cause this problem.

Can't use the keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop CS6 when updating Mavericks

Can't use the keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop CS6 when updating Mavericks

Thanks everyone. What worked for me was a version of the suggestions above. I had the problem with the ≠ character appearing in all my Photoshop CS6 keyboard shortcuts and rendering them largely unusable. However, I don't have any other keyboards besides US English enabled on my Mac. I do have Spell Catcher installed, which works through the keyboard input method. So, I switched from Spell Catcher back to English (with the US flag), launched Photoshop and presto, my keyboard shortcuts were restored, absent that obnoxious ≠ symbol. Once in Photoshop, if I reselect Spell Catcher, the ≠ symbol returns so I have to run Photoshop without the help of Spell Catcher - or forego the use of keyboard shortcuts while it's on. Since the developer of Spell Catcher passed away last year there will be no more updates to the otherwise very useful utility. Apparently this keyboard shortcut problem in the various guises reported here is linked to some element of the OS X input method in Mavericks, as Photoshop seems to manifest the issue in relation to one specific input source or another. This is the first application in my experience to have a problem with Spell Catcher in OS X 10.9. So I will continue to use it, except in Photoshop. Spell Catcher was never updated for Mountain Lion or Mavericks so people like me will have to use it "at our own risk" as the saying goes. Be that as it may, it does appear to be a bug in Photoshop that's at the root of this matter as different people have somewhat different problems with the OS X input method - not that I expect either Adobe or Apple to do anything about it.

My "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys arnt either? any help would be amazing!

my "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys aren't either? any help would be amazing! I use these keys a million times a hour and since I have switched to cc I cant get them to work. track selection makes no difference or if there are markers on the timeline or not.
Anyone else feel me on this?
any help?

Well that still didn't make any kind of difference. I would just do without it but I've becomes really use to it with Avid for so long. I have to admit there are a lot of small moments like this that makes me miss Avid. Any other suggestions? I have checked the keyboard shortcuts a few times and maybe I'm just missing something here...

Apple TV3 turns off and on when using remote, already reset and restarted.

Apple TV just started acting up yesterday. When using remote, light on Apple TV would turn off and on so it would somewhat work when the light was on and would not when light when off. When light is off and in a menu selection, cursor would just move to the end of the list and stop. Already restored back to factory and reset it. Difficult to program after reset when remote only works part of the time when the light goes on so stuck in out of the box condition. Any help on this? Thanks!

Hello stiktani,

Why is up next adding songs twice when I use the keyboard shortcut? (windows)

I only encounter this using the mini-player
as far as I know, at least; because the keyboard shortcut doesn't even work on the full sized player.
augh.

You should post that on the Boot Camp forum, that is where all the Boot Camp and Windows guys hang out.
Good luck.

Keynote crashing when using the keyboard shortcut to play the presentation

This has happened twice to me now in the last two days. I haven't been using Keynote regularly, but will be giving more lectures at uni, so hope this is something that can be solved. Each time Keynote crashed, I had an unsaved Word document but when my macbook restarted, the word document was still there, and the keynote presentation was gone. Is there any way to auto-save keynote presentations, and no, I don't have a time capsule yet.
Thanks, Derek

It is more of because when your keyboard shortcut is set to that, the command given to the computer is only to shutdown the default way, which Apple made it to reopen windows when logging back in. And when u said that it was a preference to reopening windows when logging back in, it is not a preference. It is more of a question whether u want to reopen when u are shutting down/restarting your computer.
I also have a similar problem, but it is not about the keyboard shortcuts. I want to create a program to help restart into bootcamp, but when I restart back into Mac OS, it helps reopen the windows.

Toggle Play and Resume System Variables with Keyboard Shortcut

Hey Folks,
In many popular video applications (YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu, etc), the Spacebar is used to Play (and then) Pause the movie and I want my project to stay consistent with this.
I'd like to have a single keyboard shortcut (maybe to a hidden button on a Master Slide) that,Plays or Pauses (depending on what is happening) a slide video (or the entire project really), and I want that shortcut to be the Spacebar.
I will be having slide videos (user clicks an Image to go to a slide video, not event video). Playbar will be visible during this time.
In trying to accomplish this, I see that cpCmndPause is an available System Variable. I would assume cpCmndResume is the counterpart to that, or is cpCmndPause=0 the counterpart?
Anyone have an idea how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Tom

Spacebar cannot be assigned as a shortcut key. probably because it will be reclaimed by browser. The toggle part is easier.
