___Why does my command/shift space and shift key stop working?
For no apparent reasoon, some key combos like shift to keep aligned or command/shift space to zoom stop working - why is that?

I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function works

I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function, render workspace function, export file are still operational. How can I fix it so I may complete my assignment?
Besides DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Suite 6 is the only software on the machine. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating System on AMD FX 6100 six-Core Processor at 3.31gHz and 32 GB RAM memory. There are two SLI-bridged GTX680 NVidia cards.
The software was very stable for the last six months, working with 720P proxy files from 2.5K masters (Blackmagic Design Camera). I am working on a feature-length project that exceeds 1000 edits. I have broken the file into 2 one hour segments.
I have deactivated the software before reinstalling the entire OS from scratch. PP6 was very stable for 48 hours. Then the freezing space bar returns. After a dozen strokes into the project, same problem. I have made cache files store next to originals, I have deleted preview files if they were corrupted and causing instability. Am I missing something?
I have Microsoft Security Essentials for virus protection. I double checked the memory for damage/defect. Nothing says that the motherboard or other components are damaged.
I am in film competition overseas and need to have deliverables in less than a month's time. I lost the last two weeks troubleshooting and this crisis came at an inopportune moment of the project.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Still getting software freezes but found a way to mitigate for the mean time.
Upon launching Adobe Premiere Pro, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to launch TaskManager as well.
You will want to highlight Adobe QT32 Server.exe
Right click and select "End Process Tree"
You will get considerable stability in the program, long enough to get timing of cuts done. Be sure to save often.
If the program freezes, do not hit Save. You definitely want to avoid saving the corruption into your TimeLine
CTRL-ALT-DEL to relaunch the TaskManager and highlight Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
Right-click to "End Process"
No need to reboot the whole system; just launch Premiere Pro again and continue with the session. Note that your work reverted to Last Save.
Hope this helps until the bug is fixed.

My spaces and mission control stop working shortly after startup

My spaces and mission control stop working shortly after startup. The feature to activate it on the keyboard won't work, also trying to open the app itself doesn't do anything and the multitouch two finger swipe and hpt corners I have setup don't do anything as well. Any idea on what might be conflicting to cause this?

Try moving your com.apple.spaces.plist from the preferences folder to the desktop then give it a try. To get your preference folder you will need to hold down the option key while clicking on the go menu in the finder then click on library then click the preferences folder.

Re: Shift + Click, and Apple + Click Stopped Working

Pretty much what it says in the subject line.
I know that this may be an OSX type question, but those over in the OSX forum didn't really have an answer, so, I thought I would try over here.
I don't know what happened to precipitate the issue, I don't know how to fix it, but I can no longer use shift + click to select a number of items in Finder/iPhoto, whatever, or apple + click to select non-continuous items in a list.
Is there a place to reset these key strokes? I have tried restarting, and no dice.
Thanks in advance.

In response:
Are you using an Apple mouse and keyboard?
It is a MacBook, so I am using the keyboard and mouse integrated into the laptop.
Are both otherwise working?
Yes.
Do you have shift and apple keys twice on your keyboard, and if you do, have you tried both sides?
Yes, and I have tried both sides, and neither work.
Do you have a multibutton mouse, and if so, are you sure you are pressing the left mouse button to do the selection?
No, I do not.
Is Universal Access in Apple menu -> System Preferences turned on for any of its features?
None of the features are turned on.
Is Full keyboard access in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse turned on?
Yes, I believe so. Though I did not see a check box of "Full Keyboard Access." But, I may be blind.
Are the mouse button assignments different from what you expect them to be on in the same panel as the last question?
No, as expected.
If using a third party mouse and keyboard, did you install their software, and make sure their software is known to work with your operating system version?
No 3rd Party Mouse.
Thanks for the input. Any suggestions? It is really annoying.

Why does clicking the reload icon and F5 key not work for certain pages. Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated. :)

Cliffs:
-Open new tabs from original page.
-Clicking reload icon or hitting F5 will not work on new tabs, but works on original page.
-Can "right click" reload tab or all tabs, but reload icon and F5 won't work.
-Been using FF3.6 for months, never a problem. Just started happening 2 days ago. Updated to FF4, but problem still remains.

Start, Charms and Windows Key stopped working in Windows 8.1

I have read these forums about getting the Start button and Charms back by hitting Win-C. But that doesn't even work on mine. This started just Feb 2 when I downloaded the Windows updates sent out that day for Microsoft .NET4.5.2. I have uninstalled
that update. At least that stopped the error message I was getting about Microsoft .NET Framework unhandled exception. But my start, charms, and windows key on my keyboard remain unusable. Any help?
Thanks,

Hi Kelly,
What is your current situation?
Have you tried to restart Windows Explorer through task manager?
If the above is still not going to work. Run the following command:
SFC /ScanNow;
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth;
Also check if you have any hardware driver update recently. Check at the manufactuer side and see if they could offer any helpful information.
Further, could you please have a share wit hthe update KB number, I will perform a test with that update.
Best regards

Shift + Click, and Apple + Click Stopped Working

Pretty much what it says in the title. For some reason, I cannot either shift + Click to select a number of files/photos/whatever, or apple + click to select "non-adjacent icons from a list."
I have no idea what precipitated this, and I have no idea where to reset it. And, I couldn't find an adequate answer from searching discussions (am I blind?).
Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi Casey:
1. Do you have multiple accounts on the MacBook?
2a. If so, does this behaviour occur in all accounts?
2b. If there's only one account, try creating a new standard account, and see whether you can shift+click or command+click to select items.
Basically, if it works in one account and not another, the problem is with the account; if it doesn't work in any account, the problem is with the system. Knowing where the problem is will help finding the solution.

Help, sound and brightness keys stopped working

Friends,
after an requested software update (Quicktime, Security..) all the sudden the monitor control keys (brighter/darker) and also the sound keys (louder/quieter) don't work anymore. Any hints how to get them back to work?
Thanks, Alexander

Which update did you do? Earlier this year, a new update from Apple required a delay before some buttons responded. For instance, before, you could press the brightness keys and it would respond instantly. After the update, you had to literally hold it down for a second or two before it responded. It was a way to prevent accidental inputs.
This may not be your problem, especially if you can't do anything at all. But that was something I encountered. Freaked me out. But holding it down made it work. I don't remember the exact issue and posting at this moment.
I do know the number one issue was the eject key. Again, before, if you pressed the eject key, your media would come out right away. After the specific update, you had to hold it down before you could eject anything. (Hold down the button before it would register).

TS1381 t, y, u, i and o keys stopped working..

However they work at random times..
Studdenly they work then get stuck again and refuse to work.. is it a hardware issue?

I had a theory on this one, having seen several posts like yours. But it's only a theory.
The posts almost always refer to a series of numbers that are set adjacent to one another on the key boards. Not scattered around as may be the case with spillages.
As these circuits are printed, it would not seem unreasonable to have the odd one, and out of such a large production it would be the odd one, where the printed circuit is slightly imperfect or dust in the air caused an imperfection. I guess if that were the case Apple would be responsible (certainly within the warranty period). But as I said, it is only a theory.

"backspace," "g" and "h" key not working

Hello,
Suddenly the "backspace," "g" and "h" keys stopped working. Due to this issue, I can't log in to use my computer.
Please, help.
I have a Pavilion g7-1260 us Notebook PC, Windows 7.
Please help becasue I can't use my laptop at all.
Thanks,
Carlos-Manuel

Hi Carlos,
Well, to get logged in (assuming your PC is at least booting up to the Windows Logon screen), you can try to use the On-Screen Keyboard, just click on the Ease of Access button (should be on the lower left hand side of the logon screen) and put a check mark in the box next to "Type without the keyboard" and select OK. This should bring up the On-Screen Keyboard and allow you to enter your user name and password. Note that I'm assuming here that you couldn't get logged on because either your user name or password or both uses one of the keys that isn't working.
Alternatively you can also just connect an external USB keyboard, like what you might use with a Desktop PC.
That should at least allow you to use your computer somewhat.
To test your keyboard, reboot the computer and press F2 to access the UEFI diagnostics. You can find the full procudure in this document:
Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista)
If you don't have the lastest UEFI diagnostics installed on your PC, you can get the download here for your model PC:
HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Support Environment
There is a keyboard test under system tests, it may take a while to get through the test procedure, but it will verify if the keyboard hardware is functional or not.
If the keyboard test all pass, but you still have problems with some keys on the keyboard, check that the keyboard language has not been changed. Go to Start --> Control Panel, choose "Change Keyboards or other input methods", then click the Change Keyboards button. Based on your model, you should have the English (United States) - US option selected. If some other keyboard is selected, that can cause some weirdness with your keyboard.
Good Luck!

I use aperture 3 since a long time. Using slit viewer, noe the bigger image become bigger then the given space and shifted to the right, so that I can't see the complete picture anymore. And I also don't see the last few picture in the strip below. How can I splve this problem?

This lloks like your preferences file might have become corrupted.
you probably have a problem with corrupted user preferences.
Remove the Preferences: Remove the Aperture's user preferences from the User Library as described here:
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Note:Your User Library is hidden by default in 10.7.x or later - to open it in a Finder window use the "Go" menu from the Finder's main menu bar.
Quit Aperture, if it is running. Log off and on again.
Open the user library by using the Finder's "Go > Go to Folder" menu and hold down the options-key, until "Library" appears in the drop down menu. Select it.
In the widow that will open, scroll down to "Preferences"
From the "Preferences" folder remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist".
Then try to launch Aperture again.
But deleting the "Preferences" file will cause Aperture to forget the preferences settings. Be prepared to have to reset all options you set using the Aperture Preferences panel.

My return and shift key stopping working

my return and shift key stopping working. It wont go to the next line or function as an enter.
Now, most of the time it wont do anything but if you push it several times it will type a 0p or /- or control volume the instead. I checked the keyboard setting and voicecontrol and reset it to default and updated software for system but no resolve. How do I fix this?

Hi -- I have this problem too. I cleaned out the keyboard, did an SMC reset, a PRAM reset, and also followed the steps I could follow from this article, linked to in the answer to another question:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
no luck with any of it. Could we please have some advice targetted at the specific problem of nonfunctional shift and return keys on a MacBook Air?
In the meantime I'm using only the left-side shift and have downloaded and installed KeyRemap4MacBook and remapped my backslash key so it issues the "return" command. A clunky work around but it seems to do the trick, at least.
