Why can't I use the arrow keys to scroll up and down websites anymore?
When I'm on any website and I click anywhere in the website there is a blinking bar - sorry, don't know the technical term - like you would find in any new document waiting for the next character to appear to the left of it. It's almost as if FF - not the super-team - want me to add test to any page I find but it is just a weird mistake.
I assume it's because of this glitch (assuming) that when I go to press the up or down arrow keys it no longer cascades the screen smoothly like a parade of content; instead it just hops from top to middle to bottom and that's when it does anything. What gives?
-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> General section -> place Checkmark on '''Use Smooth Scrolling''' -> Remove Checkmark from '''Use AutoScrolling''' -> click OK
Check and tell if its working.

Why can't I use the tab key to highlight links on a webpage?
In previous versions of FF and in other browsers, I can use the tab key to navigate through all the links on a webpage - I can't seem to do this with FF5, the tab key will only highlight the address bar, search bar, and any form fields within a webpage.
Using the tab key to navigate through links on a page is an accessibility feature, and I often use it to show hidden skip links at the top of a webpage for users who prefer to use the keyboard over a mouse and for assistive technologies.
Is this something that can be turned back on in preferences? Or is there a reason why it was removed from this version?It can be fixed in Mac OS X Tiger preferences (Keyboard -> "all controls") or try a ctr-F7

Using arrow keys to scroll presets and library
Hi
I'm wondering if it's possible to use the arrow keys to scroll up and down folders and presets? I'm starting to get RSI from the mouse. Is there a way?
I can't work out how.
Gusthanks.. that's really depressing news.. I'm so used to being able to scroll up and down the folders in explorer and Bridge that it makes no sense at all to have to click each folder with the mouse every time. Awful.. Trying going through a long list of presets one by one..
Even in LR you can scroll the images along the bottom with the cursors. Why not the folders or presets?
why did the designers make such a departure knowing that most of their users would be coming from PS/explorer/bridge experience?
It's the same with keystrokes.. what happened to standards of usability and consistency?
is there a good reason for this? I can't see one. Really fed up as I need the cataloguing features LR has but don't see myself enjoying using it at all. -
I can't use the 'Enter' key to take me to a website I've typed into the nav bar - I have to use the mouse to click on the 'go' arrow. Why? How do I fix this?

On my laptop (and most for that matter) you can use the touch pad to slide your fingers to scroll thru a web page. I cannot do this in firefox. It is very annoying and I dont know why cant do this?
I have reinstalled FF and it still wont scroll! Every other browser i can scroll thru a web page using the touch pad method.
Why cant i do this on FF?Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Full keyboard access is useful for people who have difficulty using a mouse. Safari supports standard full keyboard access shortcuts for buttons and menus. If you choose, you can also use the keyboard to highlight links in webpages.
To turn on full keyboard access:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Keyboard & Mouse.
Click Keyboard Shortcuts.
Select the checkbox to turn on full keyboard access.
To highlight links in webpages using the Tab key:
Choose Safari > Preferences and click Advanced.
Select the option to highlight each item on the web page using the Tab key.
With full keyboard access turned on, Safari uses the standard shortcut keys to access menus and windows, plus the additional shortcuts shown in the table.
Hope this helps!!

I can't scroll using the arrow keys!!
I have been having a problem lately where I cannot scroll within applications using the up and down arrow keys. on my macbook, using the arrow keys is something i liked to do to scroll in a page instead of using the trackpad, and now it doesn't work... I've noticed it in every web browser installed on the laptop (Safari, Firefox, Camino) and also doesn't work in itunes (making it annoying to easily scroll to another song in the library!) or AIM or other programs... anybody know how I can fix this? thanks.

Question: Inadvertently a visiting toddler gained access to my computer during a visit. He's obviously fiddled with something as I can no longer use my arrow keys to navigate through my albums or events on iPhoto. Only one pic shows up in the album view - I can't see any thumbnails. To see the other pics I have to use the scroll bar on the right hand side of the window. Please help!
Depeding on your version of iPhoto: On the left (iPhoto 11) or right (earlier versions) of the lower frame of the iPhoto Window you'll see a slider. Drag it left.

Key Bindings using the arrow keys
Following is some code that allows you to move a component around the screen using the arrow keys. I've noticed a problem and I'm just wondering if its Java or my keyboard.
Lets start with an example that works:
Press the down and right keys. Then press either the up or left key. The image moves proving that it supports 3 keys.
Now for the problem:
Press the up and left keys. Then press either the down or right key. Three things to notice:
a) the direction doesn't change when the third key is pressed
b) no output is displayed, so the ActionListener is not being invoked
c) after a short time, the program starts beeping
Now try rerunning the code after removing the comments that assign the key bindings to the "a, s, d, f" keys. Redo the above test and it works even if all four keys are pressed.
I don't remember this problem when I wrote the code a while ago, but I did recently get a cheap new keyboard so I'm just wondering if the problem is my keyboard or whether its a quirk with Java.

}if you hold down left and right (so it doesn't move), down works, but not up.
hold up/down, right works but not left.Yes, the problem only seems to be when the up and left in combination with the right or down key is pressed.
num lock off - use the number pad arrow keys and all works OK Thats interesting, I didn't notice that. Although it just confuses the issue as to what the problem is.
So it appears to me that:
a) left + up + down, and
b) left + up + right
are special key combinations that are intercepted by either the OS or the JVM. Do these key combinations ring a bell to anybody?
I'm use JDK1.4.2 on XP. I wonder if other OS will have the same problem?
Again, this isn't a real, problem, just more of a curiosity. Thanks, -
Why can't I use the Basic brush tool?
I'm learning the ropes of drawing in Illustrator and I've fallen at the first hurdle. Why can't I use the Basic brush tool? Whenever I select the brush tool and use the 'Basic' brush type, the cursor turns into a hashed circle indicating I can't draw. If I load other brushes, I can draw with other brush types, but I can't use the Basic one. If I select the Basic brush when I have other brushes loaded and try to draw with it, it always defaults to a different brush! I don't understand why.
On a related matter, I'm also having trouble changing brush size. I know that using the [ and ] keys changes brush size, but I have no idea what the values are. If I try this in Photoshop, I can see the brush size in the Options bar, but in Illustrator it doesn't appear anywhere! Not in the Brushes palette, the Stroke palette or the Appearance palette. Where can I see the brush size?Glitcher,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

I am having a problem moving across cells in Microsoft Excel. When I use the arrow keys, the sheet moves, instead of moving to the next cell. Would anyone have any thoughts on this, please?
Hi,
Did you find a way to solve your problem ? We have exactly the same for one application and we are using the same version of HFM : 11.1.2.1.
This problem is only about webforms. We can correctly input data through Data Grids or Client 32.
Thank you in advance for your answer. -
When adding a bookmark sometimes the web page name is too long. I used to be able to use my mouse, highlight the letters/words that I don't want, then use delete to truncate the desired bookmark name. Since the latest update/upgrade, Firefox won't let me use the mouse to click anywhere in the popup box. I can only use the arrow keys and the delete key.
Nothing other than updates (using Mac Software Update and Firefox Update) has been done to this computer (it's a 2002 Power Mac G4-Dual 1.25GHz).When adding a bookmark sometimes the web page name is too long.

Even within this text field as I type, all is normal, but backspacing using the arrow keys (and then also forward spacing using the arrow keys as I return to typing) erases bits of the text. Once I begin typing again in this field, the erased components restore to normal. This effect can be captured in a screenshot. Upon closer inspection, there appears to be a second invisible cursor, one full character to the right of the visible cursor. So when arrow backspacing, the invisible cursor trails the visible one, wrecking the text behind. When forward spacing using the arrow keys the text gets wrecked in front of the visible cursor.
I am guilty of not following up. The above solution "appeared" to work for me until I realized that now, the text does not erase bits on the same line as my cursor but erases any text on the line below my cursor... so if I am typing above other text, these semi-invisible marks chop up the text below where I am backspacing. Yes, I know - put this in David Letterman's, "Museum of the hard to believe".

Hi, why can't I use the iMessage on my iPhone? I've already had my apple id email on it but it keeps saying "waiting for activation" always like that. No progress. Could anybody help me on this? Cheers
I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
iOS version 6.1.6
I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
Here is what finally worked:
1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
4) Settings > Messages > Sign In -
