When I press the option key on a Mac it jumps to another page

On my Mac I need to use the "option" key to type accent marks when I am typing in Portuguese, and when I press that key it jumps to another page.

Go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard, and untick "Enable Sticky Keys"

    Provide the computer's firmware password. If you don't know what it is, contact the person you got the computer from or Apple.

  • 2011 macbook pro 15' -Taking so long to see the select menu when I press the option key

    I keep pressing option key and try to choose which hard drive I would like to boot, here is the problem. If I connect with network cable then I'll have to wait almost 2 minutes to show the select screen!!! On the other hand, If I didn't connect the network cable, I only take 11 seconds to see that select screen. I have tested over ten times with or without connected my macbook pro to the network cable, and the result is the same as I mentioned above. So...what's the problem? Is that a bug in 10.6.7 or It's a hardware problem.... Anyone help plz ?????

    Its a keyboard shortcut to mirror or un mirror screen. Then you can use your mouse and what not. My macbook air fell about 1.5 feet to carpet and thanks to the thin design of the metal parts turned the dam n screen into a knife and sliced the wires for the screen, wifi, Bluetooth, and camera... Well one wire was still attached, the one that powered the screen. So all i had was a white screen. I know its accidental damage and all but to have it fall and break a week after my warranty ran out ***?!?! Apple must employ ninjas!

  • Is there a way to adjust the Scroll bar? Because when I press the arrows key once it goes straight to the bottom of the page rather than going down gradually.

    Before when I pressed the arrow key to navigate up and down the screen it would do it gradually. After I up graded to the current version it now skips down to the very bottom of the page.

  • HT1310 Even when holding down the option key during the restart, I can't get the flashing file icon to go away

    I have tried numerous times to restart my macbook pro to get to the startup manager. And even when holding down the option key, it will just take me back to the flashing file with a question mark in it. If anyone can help, I'd sincerely appreciate it.

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Why my Startup Manager does not appear when I hold the Option key when starting to boot.

    I no longer have the Startup Manager appearing when I hold the Option key when starting to boot.
    Instead, the system just boots into whichever OS was last selected in the Startup Disk Preference.
    How to get back my Startup Manager so that I can boot up from my external hard disk.
    Thank you.

    Can you please run the following in terminal and post the output in your reply:
    diskutil list; echo; nvram -p | grep boot-args; echo

  • HT1343 the numeric pad is switched off after pressing the option key 5 times; could that be prevented?

    after working in Photoshop, where I press the option key a lot, the right side [numeric board] is switched off.
    I wish to  prevent that not so handy action bij Apple

    The I/O error normally indicates that the hard drive got damaged. Make a backup of your data with Carbon Copy Cloner or Time Machine and take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller. Also, you can install the hard disk yourself, buying the hard drive at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/

  • How can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear

    how can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear?

    Hi-
    This worked!. After updating to 7.0.6 a few days ago I was unable to delete apps. Called Apple support for help without success. I have NEVER entered a passcode to get in to restrictions so I know I didn't make this change (so I'm assuming that 7.0.6 did it for me). Apple wanted me to restore my iphone but thought I'd do more research first. Your advice solved the problem. THANKS!

  • When I compose an email it flies up the screen when I press the shift key. I've clicked default settings on Keyboard in Preferences but it has made no difference.  It has only just started happening.

    When I compose an email it flies up the screen when I press the shift key and then comes back again. I've clicked default settings on Keyboard in Preferences but it has made no difference.  It has only just started happening.  Any ideas?

    This problem has also been plaguing me today. Here are my specifics and how I solved it (Expanding on what Quentin Holmes mentioned)
    CONFIRMED WORK AROUND! The .m4v file gets created while encoding, but Adobe Media Encoder does not re-pack it back into the .mp4 unless you select the "Export Audio" in Adobe Premier export prior to queuing. If you don't want audio, mute the individual tracks and still export audio.
    My details:
    Just bought a GH4, shooting 4k 25fps MOV, trying to simply trim a few clips and export them as H.264 .mp4 with no audio. (By the way it would be nice if we could export 4k .MOV files from the camera back into .MOV once finished editing, but in premier that frame resolution is not supported)
    Specs: Mac Mini, Quad Core i7, 16GB Ram, OSX 10.9.4, Adobe Premier Pro CS6 6.0.5, Adobe Media Encoder 6.0.2.81
    Hope that helps anyone with the same prob
