What does this key do?

Hello Apple community,
I have an Macbook portable from late 2006. I can't figure out what a key does. The key looks like this:
Any idea?
Kind regards
Winky

Nope, that one (eject) is on top of the keyboard. This one is next to the CMD key.

  • My new machine has win8 64 and firefox will not allow me to type text until I hit the win+f9 key to restore functionality, what does this key combination do?

    I have Win8 Enterprise x64 and firefox 20.0.1, I have researched the win f9 key combo and cannot find anything that says what this does to allow me to enter text in firefox. It happens a few times a day and I cannot figure out why this resolves the problem.

  • What does this key combo mean, what's it doing?

    mark an in and mark an out - anywhere in the timeline of an open sequence,
    type the following keyboard combo:
    Control, O
    or Control, I
    Whats up with the red line that now extends between marks in the timeline and canvas?? Is it setting me up to create a split edit?
    Curious.. Thanks for thoughts, direction.

    Yes, split edit. Go to Mark > Mark Split to see your other short cuts. Handy way to do an L-cut with out trimming or slipping transitions in the timeline.

  • When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it?

    When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it? I am using a pc laptop if that makes any difference.

    Try reading through this thread: key not valid for use in specified state. Possible solution involves moving the RSA folder. Rather than deleting it as aniwack suggested I'd try this:
    For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.

  • I got the message "4403D" when I tried to startup while pressing "Option D" keys while starting up. What does this mean?

    I have a Macbook purchased in 2009. I am running Mavericks, which has caused several programs to stop opening (Calendar, Quicktime...) so I have been trying several things to fix it. One thing is to try to do a Apple Hardware Test over the internet. In order to do this I need to restart my computer while pressing the option and D keys.
    When I did so I got the message "4403D". I had to hold the power button down to turn off the computer in order to restart normally so I can use it.
    What does this mean? And how do I fix the programs?

    Can you provide the link of the website on which you are having problems ??

  • Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2008 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean?

    Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
    Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

    Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
    The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
    As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

  • What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

    What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

    You've gotten 2 good answers already, but there's a key assumption in both that you got the message when connecting the iPhone to some other device. If this is the case you can get an adapter in the Apple online store that will allow charging from older devices.
    If, however, this message appears when you are not connected to anything the problem is dirt or moisture in the dock connector at the bottom of the phone. Clean it with a dry toothbrush or air blast.

  • A file folder with a ? Appears on my screen when turning on.  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    A file folder with a question mark Appears on my screen when turning on.  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    There are four general causes of this issue:
    1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
    2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
    3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
    4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from the hard drive's location.

    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Once you are safely connected go to the iPod Summary tab and make sure "manually manage music and videos" is checked:
    iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts
    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone

  • I tried to download the latest OSX Mountain Lion and got this notice - "We could not complete your purchase.  The product distribution file could not be verified.  It may be damaged or was not signed. "  What does this mean and why can't I download it?

    I tried to download the latest OSX for my iMac - Mountain Lion.
    This is the message that I received:
    "We could not complete your purchase.  The product distribution file could not be verified.  It may be damaged or was not signed."
    What does this mean?

    The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
    Power down.  Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore. 
    No trouble at all once I did this.
    Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
    Hope it helps.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • What does "object-key-..." refers to ?

    Hello Workflow Fans !
    Another question... when I look at the ABAP code of a BOR Object Method that refers to, as an example, object-key-customerno... what does "object-key" truly refers to ?  Does it refers to "&_WI_OBJECT_ID& ?
    See code example:
    begin_method o23_maj_ecd changing container.
    SET PARAMETER ID 'KUN' FIELD object-key-customerno.
    CALL TRANSACTION 'XD05'.
    Thanks in advance for your precious help.

    Hello Rick,
    Thanks for your prompt answer.  Considering that my workflow handles multiple different business object through the course if it's lifecycle, I am just wondering how SAP translates "object-key" considering it uses different business objects.  Does it come from the "binding" ? If so, the binding of this particular task looks like this:
    &ZBusObj1& -> &ZBusObj1&
    &ZBusObj2& <-> &_WI_OBJECTY_ID&
    ... then, if I use "object-key" in the code of my methode being called by this task, does it refer to &ZBusObj1& or &_WI_OBJECT_ID& ?  I'm trying to understand how SAP translates "object" in this context !
    Thanks.
