Using shift key when texting

How do I shift my keyboard to upper case letters and items on my Samsung Intensity !!?

I am going to guess it is the UP ARROW key. Press it once, the first letter is capitalized. Press it twice, the entire word or text is capitaized.

Using SHIFT Key to change/create libraries

I recently moved my I-tunes from my PC HD to an EHD for more space. I used the "Hold Down Shift Key" when opening itunes to create a new library for the EHD. How do I delete the old library (all files are gone from it) so I can click on the Itunes desktop icon and open the new library without getting the dialog box to choose a library?

How to make smooth line by brush tool using shift key?

Heya, I have a short question. Is there a way to make smooth line by brush tool using shift key, without that characteristic dot on the begining? I'm using PS CS6 on Win7.

The shift key constrains the brush to paint a straight line. Those dark spots you see are from two paint strokes overlapping each other. If the flow or opacity of the brush is not at 100% you can see the stroke below it.

Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help

Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help!

Hi ..
Shift key boots into Safe Mode, not Recovery.
This only works on a Mac running v10.7 Lion or later.
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery
If you can't boot into Recovery Mode, help here > Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

Can't select text using shift key

Really weird thing...
Suddenly can't use the shift key to select a block of text... but only in certain apps.
Unfortunately, have read through 20 or 30 articles and getting nowhere, so posting here in case anyone has had a similar issue!

Checked that. Wasn't anything there.
But doesn't matter much as it suddenly randomly started working again. *sigh*

Mail: cannot multiselect several emails using "shift" key

Very strange: we have several Macs using Snow Leopard. For some reason on my Imac only, I cannot multi-select several emails at one time to delete them. This function with the shift key works on all the other Macs. I have rebuilt the mailboxes, checked all the preferences, run "disk utility" for repairing permissions. Using 10.6.3. It's just annoying to have to delete one by one rather than grouping continguous emails. I also can't select multi emails using the "command" key.

I found it's working OK when I'm actually on site with the computer. I discovered it is only NOT working while at a remote location & accessing the computer. I don't understand why working remotely causes this to happen, but it's not a huge issue.

Using shift key to constrain proportions while scaling

I notice that using the shift key doesn’t currently constrain proportions when scaling objects. This is pretty standard behaviour in graphics apps and it would be good to have this included in Muse. There seems to be nowhere to manually enter a scale factor either, which would be useful.

Looking into this further, it seems that the behaviour is inconsistent. A placed rectangle object can be resized proportionally when constrained with the shift key, but this doesn’t work the same way when scaling a placed image. Additionally, using the crop tool on a placed image does allow constraint using the shift key.
Testing with grouped objects, a group of plain rectangles can be resized proportionally, but a group of images cannot.
The answer is to use the lock button when resizing images but it would be better if the behaviour were consistent across object types.

Holding Shift Key When Dragging

Does anyone know what I need to do to make sure that when I hold the shift key, the object moves along the same plane that it started in? The function has worked fine for years, but it started acting up this morning.
I've tried:
Closing the file and reopening.
Closing the program and reopening.
Restarting the computer and reopening.
I'm using Illustrator CS4 on an Intel based Macintosh system.

Malfunction of modifier keys is often caused by other software, like Entourage or Firefox. See a list at Jacob's place: http://bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/other.html

Can't get letter "s" into higher case using shift key!

When I press the shift key and the letter "s" at the same time, the computer does nothing and then a few seconds later makes that noise as if you are typing, when not selected in any program.
Should I re-install Leopard or take back to the store, orrrr wait for an Apple update to fix these keyboard issues?

Check whether either the speech or listening keys in the Speech pane of System Preferences have become set to that keystroke, and change the setting if either has been.

Using shift key to extend line or paint stroke

Hello all. I've been using a very old version of Photoshop for the last 10 years and I'm used to using the shift key to extend a line or paint stroke. By that I mean, I use the paint tool to make a dot and then hold down the shift key and make another dot elsewhere and that creates a straight line. I just purchased CS6 and that function doesn't seem to be happening. Is this something I need to activate in a preference?
Thanks very much for any and all help.

There's something strange going on here...
Like you, I have always relied on Shift giving me straight strokes from last point to current point. However, I just tried it with the setting both ways and in both cases it worked.

Problems with using Option key when starting up

I have 3 internal drives using a PCI card (2 slots) that allows me to use large drives with more capacity than stock allowance on my G4 Quicksilver 867 mhz 1.5 GB RAM tower.
All drives are Seagate Baracudas ATA: 2-400GBs and 1-200GB. I bought the 400s at the same time.
My main drive has OSX 10.4.11 (#1), and it is backed up to Baracuda #2 (400GB) which is a slave to my Main drive (using SuperDuper All files for a mirror bootable copy). The 3rd drive has Leopard 10.5.1 for learning and trying Leopard.
On the second PCI slot is the smaller 200GB Baracuda.
After backing up using SuperDuper (Main to #2) as a mirror, I see #2 in the Apple > Prefs > Start Up Disk.
After the first backup I can see all 3 drives when using Option key at startup, but instead of seeing the names of each drive under the normal hard disk icons, #2 has a SCSI icon underneath the hard drive icon, it's name (Mac BU) is missing and I can't start up to it. The other #1 and #3 looked as expected. I chose #1, it launched, fine.
On second backup, #2 is still in Prefs > Start up Disk panel, but this time doesn't show up on when using the Option key at start up. I have replicated this, but erasing #2, rebacking up twice.
With only the #1 and #3 drives showing at start up with Option key and #1 selected in the Start up Disk panel, I chose #3 (Leopard) in the Option window view, and my G4 froze at the gray apple screen. I hard shut downed, powered up and the G4 defaulted to Main (10.4.11)
I selected #3 Leopard in Prefs > Start Up Disk, restarted OK.
I restarted with the Option key (only #1 and #3 show) and now my main drive didn't have it's name only the SCSI icon under the normal hard disk icon like #3 was doing. UGH!
Nervously, I chose #3 with Leopard and the G4 started up to it OK.
I then reselected my Main #1 drive in the Start Up Disk panel, restarted to #1 OK.
OK, problems summary:
1) I can't use SuperDuper to create a blessed bootable #2 drive at Option start up, but I mention this for more info about a possible problem at Option startup, more than I want comment on SuperDuper potential bug / conflict.
2) I didn't try choosing #3 in the Start Up Disk panel, as I was affraid the G4 would freeze and then I might not be able to select either of the other #1 or #3 at Option start up as something is wrong with using Option key start up, and #3 would have been selected in Start Up Panel, which I was afraid I might not be able to get to again.
2) When I start up either of #1 or #3, I get momentary black screens after the gray apple screen at Option key start up and then again after the apple progress bar. This doesn't happen when I start up directly either drive when the drives are selected using the Start Up Disk panel
When using the Option startup, I am experiencing the above problems.
Whew, I know, but does anyone have any input and fixes?
Thanks, in advance,
Steven

Hi Dave.
Well... good news / bad news
Turns out, I have an Acard 6280M and have 3 drives connected to it as mentioned (#1 & 2 are mirrored using SuperDuper with 10.5.1, #3 is a clean install off a new Apple OSX disk 10.5, then updated to 10.5.1)
I also have a Firewire external drive, that I used SuperDuper to make it a mirror of #1, using the same procedure backing up #1 to #2, to test SuperDuper.
The firmware update directions tells you to start up off a drive not on the PCI card, I used #4.
While running off #1, I selected #4 in the Start Up disk pref and it booted OK! This seems to rule out SuperDuper being the problem - of creating a mirror from #1 to #2 (both on the Acard) and then not seeing #2 in the Option key boot screen.
I applied the firmware, which directs you to first update the Acard driver to 2.06, which is included in the folder with the firmware updater.
I did this and then applied the firmware updater.
I then applied the driver upgrade to drives #1 and #2 (10.4.11) while running off #4. I did not apply the driver update to #3 (10.5.1) and restarted, using Option key.
All 4 drives appeared successfully on screen as expected with their names!
Then I selected each drive one by one:
#1 = kernal panic. Hard shut down, used Option key again
#2 = kernal panic, same as #1
#3 = froze at gray Apple screen - no spinning gear. Hard shut down.
Tthankfully, left Start Up disk pref to be #4 external and on restart, let the system boot off without going to the Option screen. #4 booted OK. Whew...
So all 3 drives on the Acard, won't boot. I was concerned it was the 2.06 driver, but since it wasn't applied to #3 Leopard drive, I'm assuming the firmware is the issue and perhaps not compatible with 10.4.11 or 10.5.1?
Two things I've not tried:
1) With #4 selected in Sys Prefs, then using Option key and selecting #4 there too to see if using the Option key selector is a problem too.
2) Selecting any of #1, #2, or #3 drives in Sys Prefs and restarting without Option key selector.
My fear is that if my last working drive #4 isn't the default drive set in Sys Prefs, if Acard isn't the problem alone and there is also a problem selecting any drive using the Option key - even #4, then if #4 isn't the default and all 3 Acard drives panic on regular boot (non-Option key) and I have to hard restart, will keep defaulting to whatever drive I set in the Sys Prefs and not be able to get back to #4.
Should I just go to my local computer store and see if they have a newer model PCI card and trash my existing one as I may have ruined it with the firmware updater?
Thoughts?

Angle increments using shift key. How to set it up?

How to set up the angle increments (stops) to be used with the shift key? I need to set it up to 30 degrees increments.

The Shift key only constrains to 90° and 45° (based on the Constrain Angle in Prefs) and I don’t think you can change that.
At least I have been using Illie for several generations of donkeys and have never hit on (nor needed) a method involving Shift like you are asking for.
I have always found it easier to use the specific tools for Rotating, Scaling etc. rather than using the Selection tool and bounding boxes (as I assume you are doing). Maybe I’m old-fashioned and maybe it’s just a personal quirk, but hitting R or S keys seems to me to be a more convenient way of working.

Using shift key not working with bluetooth keyboard

Am I missing something here? Or does the shift key not work with the iphone using a bluetooth keyboard? I'm using the logitech K810 for reference on iphone 6 iOS 8.1

The shift key works just fine on my Bluetooth keyboard. So I would imagine this is an issue with your keyboard.

Using shift key to capitalize

I use several iMacs and MB Pros. In all but one, holding down the shift key will produce a string of capitalized letters, no need to use the caps lock key. Cannot make the deviant iMac ( 1 yr old, 10.5.8 ) give me caps by holding shift key down. Happens in all programs and using different Apple keyboards. Have made multiple adjustments in International and Universal Access with no success.
Would be easier to train the keyboard than to retrain my typing for this one computer.
Thanks ( <- typed while holding down shift key )
