UNDO (Command+Z) stops working

I've had the undo command (command+Z) stop working a LOT lately. Anyone else experience this? It seems to be after I make a bunch of complicated changes that it simply will not undo the changes.
Note: If I close motion and DON'T save, and try all the changes again, the undo works. Something get's botched somewhere and I wonder if it's in memory management somewhere....
Does anyone else experience this?
Adam.

I'm having the same problem but it is consistent. Nothing seems to Undo, either by (Command - Z) or going to Edit and selecting Undo.
I'm just learning Motion and I don't want to go any further if I can't "Undo" a mistake.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Keyboard shortcut command-w stopped working after upgrading to OSX 10.9.4

Dear all,
after upgrading to OSX 10.9.4 the keyboard shortcut command-w stops working after about 30 min of having the machine powered on. Interestingly, this phenomenon is not restricted to a certain app (Safari, etc.).
In system preferences > keyboard all settings have been set to "default".
Anybody else having the same issue?
Many thanks,
wolfgang

Hi folks,
just as quick documentation for possibly other error sources for the problem "shortcut command-w not working":
If problem persists close all applications (allL!). Then open one app like Safari, open several tabs and check whether command-w works.
Reason: it could happen that you've set command-w inadvertently in another app like Snagit. And when setting this the app did not tell you "listen dummy, this is a standard command, do you really want to replace a standard command with a app-specific command. Don't be surprised if it doesn't work when the app is running."
This is what happened to me. So close all apps and check whether problem persists.

My "undo" command does not work in the new version of GB. Please advise. This is a real problem. I had no issues with GB from iLife 11.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Ctrl + e and command + e stopped working

I've seen a few other discussions about ctrl + e not working but none of them fit the problem I'm having here.
On http://www.clarkwfobes.com I have ICE set up. I've been editing before and so has the client so it was working with no problem. Now when I or he goes to the site, ctrl + e doesn't work on his PC and command + e on my mac doesn't work either.
Can anyone shed some light as to why this is happening. when I log into the manage sites section, I can edit from there and see that the client edited something on the site in January 2010.
Thanks in advance for your help!
best,
Leslie

Interesting.
Well this won't hurt and might resolve your issue, it's sort of a "clean out everythng and reset" sort of approach but I find it cleans out the gremlins.
Download the free OnyX and run ALL the cleaning and maintainence steps.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
You can Cancel the reboots in between.
Lastly use the Verify > Preferences check
Now Reboot the machine.
Another good piece of free software to have is Carbon Copy Cloner, all you need is a external drive and your a simple "hold option" boot off the clone for any emergencies with your boot drive.

Undo buttyon just stopped working [greyed out] just as I delete a vital part.

Title says it all really, I've always done this before with no issues, just before I export my work I'll cut out 95% the video/audio, leaving 5% to export at different qualities to compare. Then I just Apple_V (paste) or often I'll just type Apple-z to undo. Thing is I'm having some major issues with Imovie 10 in terms of export options and file sizes so copied my old Imovieto my app folder during this so I can use that in the future. I can't see how that would have effected anything though.
This was a 8 hour project =/
Surely with the amount of metadata, hidden directories and general unique functions I'movie has enables you SOME way to simply reverting the last thing you did, or restoring the project from a previous date?

No, I tried other DVD's, both movie and data - none will mount.
I am almost positive that it is not a hardware problem. The computer was used in a networked office environment for three years. The Superdrive got little use, mostly just to install software and an occasional disk burn to give someone a document.
This AM, I reset the PMU as well as the PRAM and NVRAM to no avail. When I tried to mount a DVD, nothing happened and the disk was spit out again.
The following error was logged:
eric-snyders-imac diskarbitrationd [59]: ClassicPrefHWTest [227]:24587 not responding
Whenever I see "not responding", it suggests some software is hanging up. I guess since it only seems to be a problem with older iMacs, Apple is unlikely to do anything. Very annoying - I'm starting to feel like a PC owner.

Undo command no longer works, instead it's "Undo camera navigation"

Hi,
My undo function in motion has been replaced by "undo camera navigation." Maybe I pressed something to make this happen? Does anyone know how to get my undo function back?
Thanks,
Ken

This happened to me when I unknowingly had something resting against my 3D Connexion navigator...
Since I wasn't using 3D at the time, its input went unnoticed by me, but not unheard by Motion...

Drop down commands stopped working.

My drop down commands suddenly stopped working in the middle of working on a document. I was changing fonts of certain parts of the document by selecting the text and using the right click command. I noticed I could still change it using the tools at the top of the page. Nothing in my right click command works and neither does anything in the drop down tabs at the top like file, edit, layout etc. For example I can't save or print without using the keyboard shortcuts. It allows me to select the action but doesn't do anything. I don't believe I would have accidently hit anything since what I was doing is a pretty simple task. Any suggestions?

Speech Recognition stops working after a minute of nonuse

I'm a grad student trying to keep from exacerbating my carpal tunnel and just figured out how to use the voice commands on my macbook. So far, they work great, they hear my voice, it does what I tell it to do, and I'm not constantly hitting apple+tab and apple+c and apple+v and so on, which really helps my wrists!
BUT. If I go for more than a minute or two without using a voice command, it stops working. I can't pinpoint anything else that triggers it other than if I stop using it for a little bit while I'm reading a paper or something. The microphone is calibrated and working, the little black arrows and the blue and green bars flash on the widget like it hears me, but then it won't give me the sound that says the command was recognized and it doesn't perform the command any time I try to use it again after a few minutes of not being used. It's like the recognition part goes to sleep and won't wake up.
If I go to the system preferences and toggle Speakable Itemst off and then on again, it starts working again until another minute or two of non-use. If I use spoken commands constantly, it will stay on for a good long while, but I'm not using it constantly that's the end of speech recognition. I really can't stop to just tell it some unneeded command to keep it awake all the time! Eventually, the computer gets confused if I turn the "speakable items" on and off too many times from the System Preferences, and it gets confused about whether or not it's turned on or off, or the widget disappears but the System Preferences panel thinks the Speakable Items is on.
I read somewhere that other people with a newer OS have a similar problem if they don't use the default speaking voice, so I switched to Alex and restarted, and the same thing is still happening.
I'm running 10.5.8, and using safari, word 2011, preview, nothing too crazy. My speech recognition is in "Listen only while key is pressed" mode, and like I said, works great until I stop using it for a minute or so. I'm using the internal microphone on my MacBook (dob circa 2008). Any tips on how I can actually keep my Speech Recognition useful? Thanks in advance!

OK, I have one more question now, seems to be the same as this question which was never answered years ago:
Speakable Commands>Application Switching -- how to delete items?
When I click on the triangle from the speech command widget and open speech commands, there is a TON of stuff there that I'll never ever use, but these things do not appear in the Library/Speech/Speakable Items folder so that I might be able to delete them. For example, one item I'd like to turn off is just the word "Home" and the computer keeps thinking that I said "Home" instead of whatever else I meant to say. Another keeps opening iChat or Mail, when I say "open new window" or something like that. I tried clicking, control clicking, option clicking, nothing will highlight a command in the Speech Commands window so that I might delete it.
The "Home" command only shows up when I'm using Word, in the "front window" list. However, the Application Speakable Items/Microsoft Word folder is empty. Is there some other way to get into the speakable commands list and weed out unwanted stuff?

Some commands are not working

some of commands suddenly stopped working like reboot ,lsusb etc . any idea why ?..

You can try to copy the content in '/etc/skel/' to your home folder with 'cp /etc/skel/* ~/'. This should overwrite your local bash config files. If this doesn't help, then you have to update the '/etc/profile' file. There should be a '/etc/profile.pacnew'. Just move it 'mv /etc/profile.pacnew /etc/profile'. This should fix it.

PS CS6 stops working when Liquify filter is choosen?

Everytime I select the liquify command PS stops working, I've tried with different resolution pictures, with the 32 and 64 bit versions. If I use CS5 I have no problems.

Liquify works with the GPU turned off.

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Normally they don't. You might have some sort of problem on your system, possibly a conflict with other software, or corrupt ID prefs or application. Trashing the prefs is easy, and good place to start: Replace Your Preferences
It will help if you tell us the OS version, whther you've installed the 8.0.1 patch, and how you are trying to access the commands, and what happens when you do. Is this isolated to one file, or does it happen with all files?

Command W has stopped working

I've never seen this behaviour before:
The command W "close" shortcut has stopped working. The keyboard is fine, w is fine, command is fine, and e.g. command-option w works, but command w does a "paste". I've reset the keyboard shortcuts to defaults, all to no avail. I have no idea what I did to cause this, but I would appreciate any hint of how to undo it!
Thanks a lot

Thanks--that didn't work. However, by throwing away preferences etc for longer than I care to, I have tracked it down to something to do with the You Control application. But why beats me. Thanks to everyone for looking.

CS5 "Undo" keyboard command doesn't work...

..after I enter a custom size in a document window, still continues. If I use "built in" size views w/ command + or -, everything is fine. As soon as I type in 52% or something in the window, command +z for "undo" does not respond. Only the redo/undo history pref's on the wheel on my wacom intuos4 functions for undo. It's not a random occurrence, but reliably repeatable on my system. Or is it only me?
This is kind of pain in the arse for my work flow... would like to troubleshoot, and get this solved. The offered up adobe temp app/script thingy(?) for 10.6.4 or .5(?) doesn't help. Thanks!
OS 10.6.6. PS CS5 12.0.2

Thank goodness someone else has finally posted the exact problem I'm having. Not because I'm glad you're suffering Tim, but only because it lets me know I'm not alone! I've searched the net high and low for months looking for someone even having the same issue, let alone someone posting a fix.
The Undo function stops working for me from both in the drop down Edit menu and the keyboard shortcut as soon as I type in a custom zoom value for the document view. This interrupts my workflow to the point where I'm not even using PS CS5 until this problem is fixed. I'm using the entire CS5 suite + PS CS4.
Can anyone help?

CTRL+H and CTRL+B have stopped working for Firefox. Every other CTRL command works. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

Whenever I want to open my history (CTRL+H) or my bookmarks (CTRL+B), I use those commands. They've always worked. Yesterday, they mysteriously stopped working. Every other CTRL+KEY command still works flawlessly.
I haven't done anything out of the ordinary in the past few days, and I've already tried to restart my computer. What could be the cause of this?
Thanks.

'''Try the Firefox SafeMode''' to see how it works there.

FM 8p273 control commands stop working

Hello,
Recently upgraded to 8p273 due to known bug with indexing; this solved that problem.
However--I find that from time to time (increasingly frequently, it seems) control commands (cntl-c, cntl-v, cntl-m, etc.) stop working, in an erratic fashion. I.e. one will stop working properly (seemingly cntl-c to copy things), but cntl-v still works, then after a while cntl-v will paste, but in the main frame not in the marker dialogue box, etc. (difficult to describe all this accurately).
Eventually, I close FM and restart it, and I'm good for a few minutes.
I've tried downloading p277 (in case it fixes this) but only 7Mb of 32 download, and when I try to run it, as far as I can see, nothing happens. So not getting anywhere there.
I'm running this on Win XP SP3 under Parallels 8.0.18494, but I don't know that that's the problem; cntl-c and cntl-v still work in other applications.
Any ideas?
I'm near the end of a project (well, if I can get the work done!) so it doesn't make sense to upgrade to a new version just now....
Thanks for any help!

Thanks very much for these suggestions. I doubt either malware or Parallels are to blame, though, because....
a. It's an institutional computer, with daily updated virus files, and I don't download anything EVER through Windows (except software updates). No guarantee, of course, but I doubt that this would be the cause.
b. When the problem surfaces (which is some time after entering FM), it is *local* to FM. I've never had the problem in MS Access, the only other product I use frequently on Windows, and when it happens, I've loaded Word and other things, and the problem is not duplicated there.
c. The problem is discussed on Parallels forums (for an older version, however), but in those cases, it is global to all apps....
