Where is the media eject key delay in Lion

I swear, I get so frustrated at Apple these days.
I recently switched from developing on a MBP 17 to an iMac 27. Around the time of Tiger, Apple added a delay to the eject button: hold it down for one second and the disc will pop out. This avoided problems where a typo could cause you to eject the disc at an inopportune moment.
It appears Lion ate this feature. I have an enormous screen, but an itty bitty keyboard with the EJECT-NOW!!! button inconveniently located next to the Delete key.
Frankly, I'd like to disable the **** thing or send the whole contraption back to Apple and tell them it keeps popping out DVDs. It seems perfectly acceptable compared to taking a hot glue gun to a two month old $3000 piece of equipment.
Before I go that far, has anyone else a better suggestion (besides the obvious "don't make mistakes while typing" because that's not going to happen)?

I worked out this bugger mostly by chance, some people online are offering some out date info on this topic. Which involes pressing a pencil icon in the advanced area of network to pull up the hidden password, but that is not available. I found it in KeyChain that is easy to find in the Utilities. Its pretty easy to work it out from there. G-Luck
What? I have never had a hidden network. Keychain access has been around for years. Did you just discover it? As for Pencils, sorry, you are not making much sense.
Good Luck

CD does not eject using media eject key

I realized that whileI can eject cd-s or dvd-s using the trash or eject command, I cannot retrieve the disk using the media eject key (with or without holding the fn key). Is it normal, or my iBook got crazy?

Keyboard eject key delay, my feelings

Here are my feelings about the fairly new feature of "keyboard eject key delay":
I don't like it [ Edited by Host ]

Apple changed it because many of us were absolutely sick of the tray opening when we did nothing but graze that key by accident. Now there are no more accidental tray openings...it's great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay! woohooo!!!!!

Where do the MEDIA FILES live after I import them from camera to iMovie (Mac Mini OS X 10.9.2)? I need to MOVE MEDIA FILES to external hard drive.

Hello bbryson68,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're wanting to move iMovie project and event data to another drive. I found the following information in the iMovie help that answers your question.
Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or storage devices
Connect a storage device that contains the target library to your Mac, or copy the target library to your Mac.
Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries, locate an existing library on your Mac, or create a new library.The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Tip: To select multiple clips or projects in the same library, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
Do one of the following:
To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
Work with multiple libraries

Where are the media files?

I can't believe I'm asking such a basic question but I can't find the answer! Where are the media clips stored in iMovie 6? In past versions, the media was kept in a folder titled "Media". I've searched my computer for clips I want to export to FCE but can't find them.
Thanks!

Ctrl-click (or right-click) the icon of the project file to get the contextual menu. Choose "Show Package Contents".

Where is the page up key on the bluetooth keyboard

I'm an ex-windows guy and I'm having issues with shortcut keys in Pages & Numbers. I have downloaded whatever documents that I found.
Ex:
Go to previous sheet
Command–Page Up
Where is the page up key?
Scroll to beginning of sheet
Home
Scroll to end of sheet
End
Where are the home & end keys?

Page up, on a keyboard without the Page Up key is fn-up arrow; Page down is fn-down arrow.
Add command to the combination for 'up one sheet' or 'down one sheet.'
Home: fn-left arrow
End: fn-right arrow
These will scroll to the top and botom respectively of the active sheet. Note that the focus (selected cell) does not change.

Barry

Only sequences, where are the media files?

I recieved a project that has only sequences in the browser, but in the seqences, the edited clips are there. Where are the media files? I'm used to having the media files in my browser with my sequences. Since I have sequences but no media files, I'm not sure where the media is that the clips (in the timeline)are pointing to. I know where my source files (QT) are. just not sure where the media files that represent that

If you are working from the same volume as the original projects, or at least a volume with the same name and folder structure then you are fine. If you want, you can select all the medial files in the sequences and drag them to the browser if it helps you to see what you have. Personally, I think if you are not changing any of those sequenced you're just as well to leave it as it is. Are you seeing video when you play those SD sequences? If yes then they are already pointing to the original media. FCP doesn't create its own media unless you render, and even then, it still uses the original in that process. So if you can see the video, you're all set. It's when you see those white clips in the timeline that you have to worry.

Where is the 25 product key?

where is the 25 product key? from the hp printer?

Hello alienka,
What exactly are you looking for? The serial number, or something similar? What do you need the number for, as that may help narrow down exactly what information you need?

Where is the underscore _ key on the palm treo 680

where is the underscore _ key on the palm treo 680
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

If you hit the BLACK button between the letters A, S and Z and then hit the letter S you will get a dash sign, then all you have to do is hit the ALT next to the letters N, M and drop down menu button. From there you can select all the character that you want including the underscore sign.

Volume Up/Down/Mute/Media Eject Keys: How do I make them work again?!

So this is ridiculous. I feel like I OUGHTA know how to do this, but somehow it's eluding me! I'm on a PowerPC G5 running Tiger 10.4.11, and I have one of the white 'Pro' keyboards attached. For whatever reason, the bank of buttons on the upper right (volume down/up/mute/Media Eject) are not working, and I can't seem to find anything in the keyboard preferences pane that would indicate controlling their function!
Can anybody fill me in on the really obvious and dumb thing I'm overlooking here?

It was because the keyboard was going into a USB 1 port before reaching the machine!

Where did the media type (paper type) controls go?

I am running a Mac Book Pro with OSX 10.7.3 Lion. My question pertains to color management in Photoshop CS5. Where do I put my .icc file (Pro38 WCRW) for Photoshop’s use as a media type? And where in the Photoshop CS5 print process does it give me the ability to change paper types (.icc files), etc?

Numeric Key Pad doesn't work.....Where's the Num Loc Key

I read the MAC OS help....no help there. I think I may have hit a key, that is invisibly set as the Num Lock Key. Anyone know how to turn on Num Lock?
Thanks

Hi Alan,
Thank you for the info links. I needed that keyboard viewer, I didn't know what all the icons were, that made up the keyboard shortcuts, I'm used to OS9 simplicity, of shift, control, option etc + this key = shortcut...lol.
I wonder why Apple doesn't mention the Clear key in the KB doc. They just keep using the term "Num Lock key", like there a key that says "Num Lock" on the new keyboards....lol. I never noticed if my other keyboards have a lite num loc key or not.
Thanks Again,

Where is the green screen key in Premier Elements 10 for Mac?

Anybody know where the green screen key feature is? Or how to edit green screen videos? Plenty of tutorials on YouTube but I can't find the Green Screen effect. Thanks.

There are some PrE Effects, that are only available on the PC, though not for the Mac, but I do not have a list handy,
I do not recall if Green Screen Keying might be one of them.
Perhaps our MOD, Steve Grisettin, who is fully X-platform, can comment.
Good luck,

Assigning the keyboard eject key to an external burner?

So I'm using an external laCie firewire burner on my intel imac 17" and I was wondering if it was possible to use the eject key for this one instead of the default internal superdrive? (wich died, like a lot of users apparently).
Thanks.

I did two process with Automator, they call shell scripts like
drutil eject -drive "youdrive" and I'm calling it from the finder...
But if someone got a better solution, thanks in advance.
