Why are my keyboard shortcuts all of a sudden not working? Even in Photoshop?!

My keyboard shortcuts are not working. I noticed it first when I tried to Command+Tab my way through my open applications. Stumped. Any thoughts?

Hello Ronald,
I'm a bit unclear on the exact scope of the issue you are describing. Is it affecting just selected keyboard shortcuts, or all keyboard shortcuts? You may want to see if any keyboard shortcut conflicts are showing, as noted in the following article:
OS X Lion: If a keyboard shortcut doesn’t work
You may also want to test some of the other system shortcuts, as noted in this article:
OS X: Keyboard shortcuts - Apple Support
Sincerely,
- Brenden

Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store & sign out & log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)

HT4515 why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?

why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered? Also for the first time since I obtained the phone I went to use the headphones and the insert to headphones is very loose and I can connect for about 10 seconds then nothing, I do believe it is the jack that inserts into the phone or the phone receptacle is bad or the headphone piece that goes into the phone is bad it is not working is the main issues. Thank you

I should also mention we have 2 other iPhone users and 1 Samsung s5 user in my home not having the same problem.

Help! My MacBook is all of a sudden not working. I can login to my account but as soon as I do that the screen goes completely white. I can change the volume and I have a mouse but that is it. I've tried safe starting my computer and that doesn't work.

Help! My MacBook is all of a sudden not working past the login page. A white screen comes up that I cannot get rid of. I attempted a safe start up and that failed as well. It's a white screen where I have a mouse and when I click the volume buttons I can hear it working but nothing else just white. Please help.

Global keyboard shortcuts (Exposé, Spotlight, etc.) not working

I've run into an odd problem with my computer--sometime around or after I upgraded to 10.4.8, my global keyboard shortcuts have just flat-out stopped working. I noticed this quickly because I use LaunchBar and it stopped activating when I hit its keyboard shortcut...I noticed the same thing happened with Spotlight, and later, Exposé--when I hit their keyboard shortcuts, nothing happens. Even if I change the shortcut to a new key and hit the new key, nothing happens.
I have tried removing Launchbar completely in case it did something to mess things up (no luck) and have completely reapplied the 10.4.8 combo updater, as well as repair permissions. None of these things have helped?
Any ideas? I'm stumped on this one.

MadFax7 on the Ambrosia Software forums helped me out here (I posted this same post over there as well: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=107371)--he thought (correctly) that it sounded like a preference problem. I discovered the preference through a handy bit of Spotlighting--after deleting com.apple.universalaccess.plist and restarting, all my keyboard shortcuts reset to their defaults and started working again--I'm replying with the answer I found just in case someone else runs into the same problem or just wants to reset all their keybindings.

Flash CC keyboard shortcuts for test/debug movie not working

My keyboard shortcuts all work exept for the various test / debug options, like debug on device,test on desktop. None of these options work.
I tried different keys combinations, so it's not the problem.
I'm tired of going trough the menu + submenu each time because I frequently switch (desktop is faster for quick testing).
I mean, I do this a hundred times a day. Please check this! thanks.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to answer.
Flash CC, Win7 64bit, I use sublime text, nothing else is running...
Absolutly nothing is happening if I try.
Correction: ctrl+enter has been successfully assigned (I see the text in the menu) and is recongnize for "test movie ...air debug desktop"
Others don't appear in the sub-sub-menu for testing or debugging over usb.
I've assigned them to ctrl+alt+enter/return and ctrl-shift-enter/return. (I've tried other keys as well...)
So it appear the problem is with test/debug USB...
EDIT: Just to be clear, I try to set custom shortcuts, to avoid the default behaviour (one shortcut to launch the last choice). this weird behaviour is probably the cause of the problem in the first place.

T500 ThinkVantage Keyboard shortcuts (Fn+F2,F3..) not working in windows 7

I just installed windows 7 onto my T500, and noticed that the thinkvantage keyboard shortcut will not work.
After fresh install of windows and the thinkvantage, they will work for about 1-2 hours. but after some time, all fn+f2,f3,f5 etc will not bring up the thinkvantage feature, like access connection or turn on/off wireless/bluetooth.
Does anyone have the same on their machine?
Already installed the system for more than 3 times, but the problem presisted, and would only work for about 1 to 2 hours after each fresh install...

Download and install system interface driver from here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70443#utility for the T-500.
for other units go to the tpad-matrix page and then go to your system.

Keyboard shortcut for star shape does not work - arrow keys

I need to use the star shape to make a sort of badge with many points.
In the past, I've used the star shape and held up arrow or down arrow to change the number of points on the star. This no longer works for me in Adobe Illustrator CS4 (on a Windows Vista). Did this shortcut change? All my other keyboard shortcuts work. I tried resetting the preference file for Illustrator just in case, but it didn't fix it.

I have found a work-around for this problem, although it's a bit annoying.
I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and encountered the same problem with establishing the number of points on a star. I tried everything and noticed it worked sometimes. Well, turns out that it will work only once after changing the settings for your pen. I just moved the tip feel setting leaving the pen tablet properties window open, went to illustrator and the arrow keys worked. If you try drawing the shape again, it won't work. You have to go back to the pen tablet properties window and move or change something, go back to illustrator and it works again. It's a little annoying, but if you're used to using the arrow keys to create shapes, it's handy to know it's there.

Keyboard shortcuts to Dashboard, Application Switch not working

I think other people are having a related version of this problem! After a certain period of time after starting or restarting the computer (perhaps whenafter the computer goes to sleep?) the keyboard shortcuts for Tiger, F9, F10, F11, and F12 don't work, and neither does Cmd + Tab to switch between applications. What is going on?

I've not a solution, but for what it's worth I have a TiPB, a MacBook Pro, and two Quicksilvers running Tiger and have not experienced your problem. Not to suggest the problem doesn't exist, but perhaps it's related to something specific with your computer. You might try booting into safe mode to see if the problem ceases. If it does, then it's related to something safe mode disables. Another thing you can try is to create a new test user, then log out of your normal account and log into the test account. If the problem disappears, then it may be related to a bad preference file or something running in you normal account that isn't in the test account. It could also be a problem related to a corrupted cache file. Use one of the several utilities around for cleaning cache files.
If none of the above are successful, consider doing an Archive and Install to reinstall a fresh copy of Tiger.

Keyboard Shortcut to Select Next Tab not working

Hello. Somewhat similar to this issue (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11414081#11414081), the keyboard shortcut to select the previous / next tab in Safari isn't working in (my) 10.6.3. What is it with this system, or what fundamental thing am I missing, that these different key shortcuts aren't working?
Thanks again

Foxtel on T-Box -- all Foxtel channels suddenly not working

Hi I would really appreciate some help. We have happily had, used and (I daresay) loved our T-Box for the past 5 years. And then I made the fatal mistake of subscribing to Foxtel on T-Box about 6 weeks ago, as I wanted to legally watch Game of Thrones. (Please don't laugh at me spending $65 per month to watch one TV show; I am trying to do the right thing!) Suffice to say, the love affair with our T-Box is over. Foxtel on T-Box worked fine for a couple of weeks. (My original setup was a T-Box 1, connected via a strong WiFI signal via HDMI to plasma TV). And then all of a sudden, about 4 weeks ago, I began losing all Foxtel channels. Instead of the channel coming up, I get a black screen with a message at the top of the screen that says "Loading internet channel, please wait". And sometimes, I also get a message at the bottom of the screen which says "Cannot start playback, please try again later (0612)". A wierd thing is that through all of the problems with Foxtel on the T-Box described in this post, using the exact same account/subscription, Foxtel has continued to work percetly fine via the Foxtel Go app on my iPad and PC. Since out Foxtel channels started not working, I have called Telstra support about 5-6 times. As a result of these calls, I have purchased a T-Box 2 and it connected via ethernet instead of WiFi. (BTW, this didn't change anything and IMHO was a complete waste of $99.) The Telstra support person has apparently done all he/she can on their end. And I have also reloaded subscriptions, reset licences, reformatted the hard drive, reset the T-Box(s) on more occasions than I can count - about 10x. My ADSL2+ internet speed is not great, but it should be OK. It's usually about 5-7Mbps download and 0.5-1Mbps uplaod (as measured by http://vic.speedtest.bigpond.net.au). As I mentioned above, even when the Foxtel channels don't work on the T-Box, it works fine via the Foxtel Go app on my iPad and PC. Sometime doing these things get the channels to work again, by trying one thing after another, but usually it does not. On the rare occasion when the Foxtel channels do somehow come back, neither the Telstra support person nor I, know what happened to make them work. The issue has been escalated to a "Level 2 support person" who is investigating. But he/she has been investigating for the past 2 weeks, and hasn't been any help at all so far. I now keep getting fobbed off by the Telstra support person, with no commitment about when the "Level 2 support person" will do anything or when he/she will call me. Whilst the Telstra support people I talk to are perfectly polite - so far no-one can solve this problem. This is very, very, very frustrating! If you have had similar issues and fixed them, can you please let me know how? If you are a Telstra support person monitoring this forum, how can I progress fixing this problem? Cancelling my Foxtel on T-Box subscription is not what I want to do, but right at the moment I have no confidence that anyone from Telstra has any idea what is going on or how to fix it. Any support would be grately appreciated. Michael PS: And if I hear another Telstra support person ask "Can I help with anytthing else today?" -- when they haven't been any help whatsoever WRT the problem I called up about -- I am going to scream!

I'm in the same boat, into Week 3 of losing all my Foxtel Channels, Lost anything that says Foxtel. Channel 958 doesnt have any reference to Foxtel. Reset over 10times, Router & Tbox Reset & turned off for the Day.
No Foxtel Channels show up in the Guide. First I had the error messages, then everything was wiped when asked to reset with a Telstra Customer Support Person. Then got invalid channel numbers on all Foxtel, & lost all Info to anything Foxtel.
7 Customer Support persons & 14hours of Phone calls & complaints, no one has an answer how to get my Subscription Back. They can see that I have a Subscription but don't know how or why this has happened.
Have also got Foxtel on the job looking for answers as well as Telstra.
I have been using Computers for 30years & can't believe no one knows how to fix it.
The Tech Crew at Telstra said that my line speed had slowed due to the fact I don't have Foxtel on anymore.
I asked my Wife to ask the Customer Support person to get the Tech to Email that Answer in writing to us so I can show the Communication Ombudsman people, but all they send are Emails about "I hope we have helped you with your query" & can you complete the online survey.
What they need to do is a full diagnostics / firmware reload, but it seems no one knows how to do that.
Sorry I can't help!

Why are the keyboard shortcuts for new window and new tab (N) and (W) instead of (W) and (T) when I right-click on bookmarks in my toolbar?

If I right click on a link in a page, the context menu allows me to open a new tab if I hit t on my keyboard and a new window if I hit w. In the bookmarks menu, these shortcuts change to w and n respectively. Hitting t results in deletion of the bookmark. Can this be changed so it is consistent with the in-page context menu?

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Why is my iphone 4 all of the sudden not connecting to wifi?

My husband and I both have an iphone 4 and as of yesterday both phones have randomly stopped connecting to any wireless network. The networks show up, I have passwords in the phone for them, but the circle next to them just spins and spins. Occasionally it connects for a few seconds, then it disconnects. We've done nothing to change the router. I've tried "reset network settings", I've reset the router and tried turning the phone on and off. Nothing has worked! We have not upgraded to ios 7.0.3 because we heard that it doesn't perform well with the iphone 4. Is that the problem? Both phones worked just fine until yesterday. I would appreciate any advice

Sounds too coincidental to have both phones go bad at once on the same day.
It could still be your router, even if you have reset it.
Have you tried connecting to another WIFI network, like a public WIFI or neighbor's?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
