Why won't my delete key work in CS6?

Have new ID CS6 on new iMac, all working great but I can't delete text or picture boxes with my delete key for some reason, only Apple-X seems to work. I have tried delete key in Word and functioning as normal.
Seems very odd - any help much appreciated!
PS Apologies - have read through forum and followed advice to assign 'delete' to 'edit > clear' on shortcuts and has done the trick.

Either that or try John's scripts at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4090334

  • Why won't my volume keys work?

    My volume keys (f10 f11 f12) won't actually change the volume, even though the window pops up displaying the change in volume, there is no actual difference.

    Go step by step and test.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2.Plug in and  remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
        Try this even if you don’t see the red light.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so,uncheck it.

  • Why doesn't my forward delete key work on my apple keyboard with numeric keypad?

    I bought a wired apple keyboard with numeric keypad to pair with my Mac Pro (late 2013) and when I try to use the forward delete key, it does nothing. I have even tried to use the fn + delete shortcut and that doesn't work either. I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

    Again, waking up an old thread:
    I first used an air compressor, set around 50psi, to "air out" all the ports.
    Then I used a clean cloth to dab a bit of alcohol on an SD card's contacts... slid it in and out several times, dabbing a little more alchol each time... and voila!
    All of our SD cards now seem to work fine... recognize, read, eject...
    Also used alcohol to clean the contacts on all the cards.

  • HT4972 Why won't Kindle or instagram work on my I-Touch? Why do either of them require IOS 4 or 5?

    Why won't Kindle or instagram Apps work on my I-Touch?
    Why do either of them require IOS 4 or 5 and why can't Itouch V2 update to IOS 4 or 5 operating systems?

    1. The developer stopped supporting older iOS versions.
    2. A second generation iPod touch can be updated to iOS 4.2.1 but doesn't have enough RAM to run iOS 4.3 or newer.

  • Delete key works back words in Pages

    Some how my delete ket is working back words like in MS word, when I hit the delete key it delete the next thing in line, not the last like it always has. I know I must have done something in some kind of setting but have now idea where. How do I get the delete key to work in it's default mannor?

    There are two delete keys on the Mac keyboard. One is forward delete (next to the "end" key) and the other one is backwards delete next to the +/= key.
    The forward delete key is supposed to delete the next character and the backward delete the previous character.

  • Why won't my lock button work?

    I went to lock my iPod and my lock button won't work. I can't even push it down, it's like stuck down in the hole but it won't pop back up. Everything works fine but I have to wait for it to auto-lock everytime I want to turn it off. Why won't the button pop back up?

    It looks like you have a hardware issue. I don't know why the button doesn't pop up, but You can enable assistive touch. Assistive touch gives you a virtual lock button, so that will solve you problem. You can enable it by going to Settings->General->Accessibillity->AssistiveTouch->On.

  • Why won't my "if" expression work?

    This calculation works:
    IF(A3<1,A3*10,IF(A3<5,20))
    Why won't this one:
    if(A4<1,B4==0,if(A4>1<=2,40,if(A4>2<=3,60,if(A4>3<=4,100,if(A4>4<=5,125)))))
    If you want me to send you the table that I am trying to make this work in, just let me know. Thanks,
    Elaine.

    Never mind, I figured it out! Whew.

  • Why won't combined AND statement work

    I want to exclude records based on two criteria's: status = 'M' and the status reason = 52.
    The table contains records with status = 'M' and status reason other than 52.
    Also the table contains records with status other than 'M' and status reason = 52 and I want to include those records.
    I first tried using the statement below reasoning that placing the two criteria's in parenthesis would combine them and only exclude records with M 52
    Where (nvl(Status_CD,'A') <> 'M' AND nvl(STATUS_RESN_CD,0) <> 52 )
    However the query removed all records with Status_CD 'M' and all records with Status_Resn_CD 52. 
    Using the Where Not statement worked.
    Where Not (External_Status_CD = 'M' and EXT_STAT_RESN_CD = 52 ) 
    I’m curious why the first statement didn’t work?
    Can anyone explain why the first query didn't combine the 2 statements but a Where Not did?
    Thank you - Mark

    Another way of looking at it:
    The condition (x AND y) will be TRUE when both x AND y are TRUE.
    If
    sub-condition x is    nvl (Status_CD, 'A') <> 'M'   and
    sub-condition y is  nvl (STATUS_RESN_CD, 0) <> 52
    then any row with status_cd = 'M' fails sub-condition x, therefore the compound condition is FALSE, regardless of status_resn_cd.
    Likewise, and row with status_resn_cd=52 fails sub-condition y, so the compound condition is FALSE regardless of status_cd.
    You used status_cd and status_resn_cd in one example; but
    EXTERNAL_status_cd and EXT_stat_resn_cd in the other.  That's quite confusing.  Also, you'll confuse everyone (including yourself) if status is abbreviated as stat in some places but not in others.  Either way is okay, but be consistent.  The same goes for abbreviating external as ext; pick one or the other, and use the same word in all places.
    Don't forget to check for NULLs.  If  external_status_cd and ext_stat_resn_cd can be NULL, you should say
    Where Not (    NVL (External_Status_CD, 'A') = 'M'
              and  NVL (EXT_STAT_RESN_CD,    0)  = 52
    depending on your requirements.

  • Delete Key working V. Slow??

    I started up my MBP today to do some writing, I went to delete a sentence I had written in an email and I noticed that the it was deleting V. Slowly.
    Normally, when you have a long sentence of words and you want to delete some quite a few of them, if you hold down the delete key, it races backwards deleting quite quickly until you life your finger off...
    Mine is very slow DEF not responding half as fast as it should..? It's a new MBP 2.4ghz with 10.4.10..
    This happens in all apps that you can write text in??
    Any ideas?

    To elaborate, there should be two settings in that section. The speed and the delay.
    The delay is how soon before the repeat starts to happen. In other words, when you press and hold a key, sometimes there is a short delay before it starts to consider that button is actually being held down and the repeats should take effect. This is helpful because if you're a slow typer and keep keys held down for a period of time but don't want your typing to end up like "HHHHeeeelllloooo", you adjust this setting to delay the start up of repeating.
    The speed is how quick the repeats happen. This is the thing you want to adjust. This is after they delay, how quickly that repeat is going to happen. The default on Mac OS X is painfully slow (in my opinion) and makes it painful to delete a line of text by holding down the delete key (or for us geeks, makes it painful to hold down the j key in VIM to scroll down a page). I turned my all the way up and it acts like a normal PC repeat speed now (which is what I'm used to and what I find way more productive).

  • Why won't the delete all photos button work

    I press this button to delete all my photos but it doesn't do anything. Is it a new feature in iOS6? Is it buggy? Is it just there but not functional? It doesnt do anything after I press it (it doesnt delete all photos). Delete all music does work though
    Does delete all photos work for you guys?

    If you have Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If you would like to try perfect Virtual Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock. You can even turn iPhone OFF with this button. To turn iPhone ON, connect iPhone to power ie charger or USB of computer.
