WHY IS COMMAND OPTION A MISSING ?

OK, for you knowlagable (Spelling?) I wanted to display my YouTube Activities but my Command Option A isn't bringing up the activities window. Has anyone else ever experienced this? How do I get it back? I appreciate any help. Thanks
PS, I see my spell check quit working too. What the **** is going on?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Why was command-option-click functionality removed.  Please bring back.

    Can anyone fill me in on this issue.
    I used to use command-option-click hundreds of times a day.  Cleared out all windows and got me to the application I wanted to use.  It is, apparently, gone in Mavericks.
    I'd be interested to know  why it was removed.  I also want it back.
    And, I'd llike it brought back with the functionality changes so that the application I make active with the command leaves the "hide" options in the Application pulldown menu active.  My one complaint about the shortcut was that it grayed out the "hide" options so I had to click out of the application and back in to use them.
    Please, please, I really want the shortcut!

    totally agree- the loss of 'pinch to resize' is a disaster.
    It was one of the main reasons i'd use it over powerpoint.
    C'mon Apple!

  • Paste Without Formatting (Command+Option+V) missing! (Upgraded to OSX ML)

    I've upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Leopard in the past week, and I've noticed that the shortcut for Paste Without Formatting (Command+Option+V) doesn't work.
    I've also installed Evernote, and I've experimented by trying to assign Command+Option+V to "Paste to Evernote"
    I get the error message that Command+Option+V is
    already used by the menu item "Paste Without Formatting"
    I've checked inside the System Preferences> Keyboard Shortcuts but I haven't found that shortcut assigned.
    I'm assuming it's a system-wide assignment. Problem is that it's not working,.. How can I reactivate this?

  • Why is the option to choose to edit with lightroom adjustment or edit original missing

    I am currently using Lightroom 3 and Photoshop Cs4.
    Usually when I open file in photoshop from lightroom, I will be asked to choose to edit with lightroom adjustment or to edit original file. However, today, the options were missing, and the file directly opens without lightroom adjustment in photoshop. Is there a setting that I can change? Thanks.

    Is there any chance that you sometime checked a "Don't show again" box on the dialogue?
    Try pushing the "Reset all warning dialogs" button on the General tab of your Preferences.

  • Holding down the option key when booting my iMac lo longer shows me my bootable external drives, the system just boots up to the main system. Also, holding down command, option,P,R no longer zaps the p-ram. the system just boots up.

    Holding down the option key when booting my iMac lo longer shows me my bootable external drives, the system just boots up to the main system. Also, holding down command, option,P,R no longer zaps the p-ram. the system just boots up normally. Why do these key fonctions no longer work?

    It could be your timing if on a bluetooth keyboard.  I find it best to hit the keys as soon as i hear the chime, release and hit them again but this time holding them before the chime ends....like a fake pump in football.
    But....you can always open up system preferences, startup disk, and select your bootable clone for booting.  If it doesn't show up there, the Mac doesn't think it's bootable.

  • Why is the Flag button missing in the new iPhoto

    I ugraded to iPhoto 9 and I really don't know why the flag button is missing in the bottom bar (beside share, edit etc.). It was there all the time before and one could easily flag any open photo (and I did it very often). And there is enough free space for that. These kind of "improvements" are beyond my understanding (( (or am I missing something ?)

    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    Alternative: Click on the top right hand corner of the photo or use the keyboard short cut (command-period)

  • ColdFusion Archives option is missing

    Hi,
    I have a CF7 Standard installed on Windows 2003 Server with
    IIS 5.1. I noticed that under Packaging and Deployment menu in
    Coldfusion Administrator, the only option listed is J2EE archives.
    ColdFusion Archives option is missing.
    Any idea as why ColdFusion Archives is missing from
    Coldfusion Administrator.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Joe, are you asking for clarification of Ian's suggestion, about removing the license key? 
    You do that by editing the [cf]\lib\license.properties file, where you'd remove the sn value (leave just sn=), then save and restart CF. of course, you want to copy it and put it back to revert back to that previous license  when finished. (More in a moment.)
    By removing the key this way,you revert CF to the Developer edition, which is the same functionality as Enterprise, but limited to localhost plus the first couple of IP addresses to hit the server (requests from other IPs beyond that are then are rejected until CF is restarted). 
    The only way to switch from Standard to Full Enterprise is to enter an Enterprise license key, of course. His point, though, was that for the sake of what you're doing, you could avoid that by just using the developer edition to create and then restore the archive.
    As for adding the key back, you can do it either by putting it back in the license.properties file, or by using the "system information" page (click the "i" icon in the top right of the CF admin). Adding a license key there takes effect immediately, whereas again if you edit the license.properties file, you need to restart CF for it to take effect.

  • Ntfs-export option is missing

    have  buy  usb  etxrme  (64  gb)  a  year  ago.is  NTFS  by  default?
    No, if new it would have been exFAT.
    why  when  i  formating  via  windows  i  see  two  options?(NTFS  and  exFAT) 
    Microsoft doesn't recommend FAT32 for large drives.  The cluster size is too big.  32 KB vs 8 KB.  And I don't recommend NTFS for flash drive due to it's journeling overhead.
    if  isn't  NTFS  by  default  how  can  converted  to FAT32  again?
    Maybe a MAC machine can do it.  Or some utility you download.  If the files on it are important to you be sure to copy them all to your harddrive or another USB drive before you format it.
    2)when    i  wnat  to  mak  a  safe  export  i  can' t  do  it  with  right  clik  from  settings  window.this  option  is  missing.i  can  do  ti  only  with  icon  in  right  corner.also  is  that  normal?
    I've never heard of this option so I can't help you.  What version of Windows are you using?
    3)how  can  attach  a  screenshot?
    You upload your image someplace then post a link to it.

  • Command-Option-Control-Eject = Restart, not Shutdown

    In the last few days, I think since upgrading to 10.6.8, the keyboard combination Command-Option-Control-Eject will no longer Shutdown my computer, but Restarts it instead. Why has this happened?

    There is no shortcut for Sleep except to push the power button which will bring up the Sleep, Restart, Shutdown dialog. Here's a link to the standard shortcuts: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459.
    There are numerous utilities like ASM or iKeys (www.versiontracker.com) that will enable you to configure your own shortcuts. Unsanity's Magic Menu haxie will let you add shortcuts to menuitems as will their Fruit Menu (both add versiontracker.com.)

    How to vertical select a text in iWord.  Like we do in Mac version of MS Word by Command Option [and selecting]

    I want to make sure all text in my document is a particular font (at least), but Cmd+a only selects any text that is not in a table. There seems to be no way to include text in tables, or even a way to change the format of all text in a particular table (MS Word allows the whole table to be highlighted for example).
    A double click in a cell selects it so you may enter what you wish in it.
    Select the cell A1 then, pressing the shift key, click in the right-bottom cell.
    Doing that you will get every table's cells selected which gives the ability to apply global attributes.
    I've searched the built-in help and found "To select all text in a document, choose Edit > Select All." This does not work as tables are excluded from this selection. If tried some of the other suggestions, such as holding down shift while selecting text in tables, but as soon as I get to the end of the text in one cell, the selection disappears.
    My guess is that some words are missing in the Help. Select All selects all the text … of the text layer.
    We must apply the settings to the text layer, to each text box, to each table.
    Of course, you may _Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
    Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'09

  • Why black command dialogue(PILOT Client TCP) always popup, SSM7.5 ?

    When clients access to SSM through browser, on the server start pop up command dialogue and won't disappear.
    Why black command dialogue(PILOT Client TCP) always popup, SSM7.5 ,?

    Hi,
    Are you using CPIP? I believe this only happens when using CPIP, and those windows represent the connections that are made from the Interactive Publisher to the PAS models.
    You should actually consider using JPIP, which gives you more control of the connections to PAS.
    In case you want to use CPIP, it is recommended that the service "SAP Service Extended Listener " has the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" active, which will then translate in those PILOT Client TCP windows appearing in the server.
    Best regards,
    Ricardo

  • When using "Reset Safari" - some of the options were missing?

    When I am finished surfing the net BUT before closing Safari, I would always choose the "RESET SAFARI" option to clear and tracks I may have left behind and to ensure any data that I put in was not stored. This morning when I attempted to use the "Reset Safari" feature (Safari -> Reset Safari), I noticed that four of the options were missing. 'Remove all webpage preview images', 'Reset all website notification warnings', 'Remove saved names and passwords', and 'Remove other autofill form text'. Where did they go ? How do I now execute these functions ? Why where they removed ? I am running Safari (6.1)

    You do not have to worry about other items that were there previously.
    I am happy that reset "User names and passwords" was removed.
    Users used to reset that option inadvertently, resulting in need to renter that data
    when they visit those sites again.
    Best.

  • Why not an option for this?

    I’ve gone back to Safari after years with Chrome because of the many problems I was having with the Flash extension. I like Safari again. It is more stable since I used it last. I'm still on Snow Leopard. I miss more than a few things about Chrome but there is ONE THING, however, that I really can't stand about Safari. Safari NEEDS an option to right click on selected text, select "Search with [your favorite NSA approved brower]," but open the search in a NEW TAB !!! It only searches in the same tab right now, which is very inconvenient. Either a check box in prefs or key combination-click or something. But please, make it SOMETHING. I'm so tired of having to copy the text, open a new tab, paste the text in search, and hit return. I know, life is rough sometimes but it doesn't have to be any rougher, does it?

    >> ...right click on selected text, select "Search with..." but open the search in a NEW TAB !!! It only searches in the same tab right now ... Either a check box in prefs or key combination-click or something...
    pressing the Command (Apple) key when clicking 'Search with...'   opens the search in a new tab
    Command-Shift-click makes that new tab active.
    Command - Option - (Shift) does the same, but in a new window
