Win-key / PrtScr No Longer Working

I use the Win-key PrtScr-key. It would take a snap shot of my desktop and automatically save it into a folder called //C:USERS\DOUGLAS\PICTURES\SCREENSHOTS. This folder is located in C\Pictures. I used this combination forever, but it just
stopped working. Even just hitting PrtScr alone no longer works. BUT hitting the Win-key and PrtScr-key will copy it to the clipboard, but understand the I want to make a *.png file in my Screenshots Folder.
Just to make sure I'm clear: Whenever I hit Win-key PrtScr-key it would make a snap shot of my desktop and automatically save it in a folder called //Screenshots. This feature no longer works and I use
it daily. Can anyone please help?
Please let me know if you require additional info.
Thank you

Just to make sure I'm clear: Whenever I hit Ctrl Alt PrtScr it would make a copy of my desktop image and automatically save it in a folder called //Screenshots.
That's backwards IME. Win-PrtScn does what you want for me and is what I have always used in W8 to do that. Alt-PrtScn captures the current window to ClipBoard and Ctrl-PrintScrn is the keyboard shortcut which the Snipping Tool uses for
starting its capture. I don't know what Ctrl+Alt+PrtScn would do, probably the same as Alt+PrtScn. PrtScn by itself would capture the entire Display contents to Clipboard, same as ever.
Make sure that you don't have a Shift- key stuck. Use the OSK to check. Then you would be really pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+PrtScn and who knows what that would do? <eg>

The "Quit all applications" key combination no longer works in Lion

The standard Mac OS key combination to "quit all applications" no longer works in Lion. It only quits some of them some of the time - not all of them all of the time. Could this have something to do with the other "no Save-As" problem?
Either way, it's yet another backwards step - one of several in Lion that are cumulatively slowing down and intefering with my workflow.
I fear someone may jump in here and explain that this is one of the great new features and that it's my fault for being too dumb to appreciate it.....

Your workflow is valuable to us; your opinions help us solve problems.

I just installed Mountain Lion on my iMac that was previously running Snow Leopard. Bugt I found that some key applications no longer work, so I would like to go back to snow Leopard. I can't use time machine backups for this. what can I do?

I just installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. But In was dismayed to find that my Canon scanner software (Canoscan LIDE500F)no longer works. Nor do any of my MS offce applications. I tried to use time machine to reinstall Snow Leopard (my previous operating system), but unfortunately my time machine backups did not include system software. Also, the original system install disk that came with my iMac would not allow me to install Snow Leopard in place of Mountain Lion. I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me how to solve this problem.

The reason your Office doesn't work is because it is PowerPC code. If you will upgrade the 2004 Office to 2011 Office then that will work.
I don't understand how you managed to get your Time Machine backup to not backup the system.
Now if you still what to downgrade you will have to erase the disk and reinstall Snow Leopard. Most likely all of your application and then restore your data from Time Machine.
To me it sounds like it would be easier to upgrade your software and stay with Mountain Lion instead.

Logic crashed, key commands no longer work as well as certain windows/preferences/tools no longer exist, help!

While trying to record a guitar track direct through from a POD HD Pro (which I've done numerous times), Logic suddenly crashed. The screen went dark and my Macbook Pro rebooted. Once I opened Logic Pro X again, it looks like a more primitive and basic version of Logic. I no longer have the capability to open a separate mix/midi/score/etc window. When I select midi tracks they do not show up in the piano roll as to be able to edit. I've also lost all key command functions (i used just default Logic key commands). Is there any way to restore Logic Pro X or do I need to reinstall it? Thanks!

Sounds like Logic's prefs got deleted or corrupted so...
First, do this (Note you will lose any custom key commands you may have created ...)
Quit Logic pro X and then....
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Now after restarting Logic... go to Logic Preferences/Advanced and turn on all the advanced features...
Set other preferences back to how you like them (Not forgetting selecting your Audio device)
Things should be then back to normal again...

Dead keys in keyboard no longer working

I use "us-acentos" keymap and since 2014-09-24 upgrade the dead keys are no longer working: typing apostrophe followed by "e" should print "é" but instead it just prints the apostrophe.
This under X both in bash and in a graphical editor such as leafpad, geany, netbeans. In a non-X session the dead keys do not work either, an apostrophe followed by "e" will just display a space.
Would anyone have any suggestion as to why this happened and how to correct it? Thank you.

Follow-up:
1) I could restore the keyboard in X with this command:
$ localectl set-x11-keymap us pc104 alt-intl
which creates /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "system-keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbVariant" "intl"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
another option that worked was to rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf.pacsave to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf, which also contained the "XkbLayout" and "XkbVariant" lines under "InputClass" (the original file had been renamed to .pacsave in February 2013). See wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg
The output from localectl status now reads:
System Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8
VC Keymap: us-acentos
X11 Layout: us
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Variant: intl
X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
So it seems that the result of an earlier upgrade was to "unset" the keyboard for X (compare with output from localectl status in original post). Why?
2) the keyboard in console (out of X) is still not working. If I try to set it to "us-alt-intl" in /etc/vconsole.conf, it works as "us" should (no dead keys); it I use "us-acentos" some keys do not work. locale-ctl shows that "us-acentos" does exist (but not "us-alt-intl").
Mystery.

ITunes 7.1.1 eject key no longer works

Since updating to iTunes 7.1.1 the eject key (keyboard) no longer works, anyone else have this happen? Have to use GUI eject key in iTunes and DVD player.
Power Mac G4 Sawtooth, iBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Well, I'm not sure about this being a feature.
Reason is that, when I go to eject my iPod using the GUI my CD tray ALSO started ejecting. And now the CD tray ejects (no CD in it I may add) and the iPod didn't eject but froze. SO what's up with the eject sequences (a feature causing me hassles).
This latest iTunes 7 update is really making me upset. It wasn't broken for me before.

Enter and tab keys no longer work

Good morning.
My enter and tab keys are no longer working within a text box. Could it be the result of installing "Deke Shortcuts" on my system? I never had a problem before the installation....
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you.

Did you try removing the shortcuts?
I'd suggest resetting your prefes: Adobe InDesign CS4 * Setting preferences

SCIM no longer works after last package update

I just did the usual
sudo pacman -Syu
and now SCIM Pinyin chinese input no longer works:
When I press the hot key to enable chinese input, it only shows "English/European" in the notification bar that pops up, and I cannot enter chinese characters. Also after activating the hotkey, the backspace key suddenly no longer works anymore, until I disable SCIM again by pressing the hot key once more.

Thank you, actually it worked again after a reboot. (No idea why.)
I reboot this PC very very rarely, it's not supposed to be rebooted.

No Brightness Adjustment, F1 & F2 No Longer Work

I'm puzzled because my PB 17" 1.67ghz display preference pane and F1 and F2 keys will no longer work to adjust the LCD screen brightness. When I purchased the laptop used, Leopard was installed and the brightness adjustment worked. To save hard disk space and run classic, I wiped the hard drive and installed Tiger (10.4) and then ran updates (10.4.11). When I boot in Leopard, the keys work, in Tiger they don't. I don't have the original restore CDs. Is there any thing that I can do to get the pb to recognize the LCD and offer brightness adjustment? Thanks.

I have a dual-boot black MacBook where F1-F2 adjusts brightness just fine in 10.5, but if I boot 10.4 pressing F1 or F2 (or fn-F1 or fn-F2) all do absolutely nothing.
Details below. I did the keyboard-firmware update in 10.5 by the way. Details below.
Does anyone have a work-around for adjusting screen brightness, even a commad-line method?
Details and steps taken: newly-arrived black macbook April 2008 with 10.5 factory installed.
1. Booted 10.5, ran all updates, including the keyboard-firmware update, fixed perms, and verified boot disk.
2. Using 10.5 disk-util, did non-destructive resize of 10.5 partition from entire drive (120gig) down to 76gig. Created 2 new partitions: tiger (50gig), and TimeMach (22gig). After reboot leopard is running find from resized partition, and I zeroed-out the other (Erase, writing zeroes in 10.5-disk-util).
3. Booted new macbook in target mode. From another black mac-book running 10.4.11 with ALL updates, ran CCC-3.1 to copy tiger to empty tiger partition on new mb.
4. Booted new mb, holding down option, and selected tiger partition. Everything works in Tiger as far as I can tell except I can't adjust brightness.)
Go figure.

Function keys no longer working with a new keyboard...

I got a new keyboard and my function keys no longer work with it. I am used to have them used in the standard format, i.e. F10-F12 control the voume, etc. I have the "Use all f1,f2, etc." button clicked. I have also tried restarting my computer. Any thoughts?

Try doing a SMC reset and PRAM reset.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

All of a sudden my Enter key no longer works in SQL Developer.

All of a sudden my Enter key no longer works in SQL Developer. I don't know how I managed to disabled it. Can anyone tell me how to re-enable it?
I already tried the following:
- I closed the application and re-opened it. - It didn't work
- I re-started my machine. I didn't work
Help! Thank you

The same thing has just happened to me and this was very useful to correct the problem --- but now I am wondering why or how this happened. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't make any setting changes so why did I lose the Enter action?

I have updated to Mozilla 16.0.1 and yahoo toolbar 2.4.8.20120412011105. Search assist now no longer works on the toolbar, nor does the enter key. I've reinstalled both Mozilla and the yahoo toolbar. I've followed the instructions given in the customize toolbar section, but I am thinking that perhaps this toolbar just doesn't work with Mozilla?

A P Elements 3 no longer works with win 7

A P Elements 3 no longer works with win 7, crashes when I click on preferences and no sound works in editor. So I want to upgrade but not seeing any dates with newer editions. Whats the oldest I can go to work with win 7 64 bit? Like maybe APE 10? Or maybe there is an update to fix 3?

dfishead
I have Premiere Elements 4 through 13 on Windows 7 64 bit, and all are working fine.
You really do not want Premiere Elements 10 on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card.
And, 13/13.1 does not support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or OSX 10.7.
Do check System Requirement as well as computer resources.
How far are you getting with the Premiere Elements 3 install on Windows 7 64 bit? Depending on the answer to that question, have you been installing the 3.0.2 Update
after the 3 install?
Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0.2 update
Have you right clicked the desktop icon for the program, if you got that far, and selected Run As Administrator?
When you are trying to get Premiere Elements 3 on Windows 7 64 bit, are you at least doing that by ignoring the "not compatible" messages and moving onward through
the installation dialogs as long as it will let you?
Please review and then let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

S230U Twist - Camera no longer works after Win 8.1

Hello all!
I've scoured the forums and tried EVERYTHING but I still cannot find a solution to my problem:
After I upgrade from Win 8 to Win8.1, my camera no longer works. It shows a gray screen with a camera and a diagonal line across it but the green camera light shows up; I also get a shutter sound when take a picture but the image is only of the aforementioned gray camera screen. I can't use the camera for video in skype or any other video chat function.
My Integrated Camera driver version is 3.4.7.26 (SunplusIT) dated 3/15/2013. I tried to upgrade but it seems to be the latest one.
I've also checked that the Lock Screen setting is set to ON for "Swipe down on lock screen to use camera".
SOMEONE, please HELP!

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I'm really sorry to hear that when you try to use webcam in your Lenovo S230U Twist, you are getting a crossed camera image.
Check if your camera is in normal or private mode. This could be happening because you might have set your camera in private mode.
Go into Lenovo Settings App and select camera.
There will be the options of Private and Normal.
Select Normal.
Also, in Settings > Permissions, make sure that Skype and other similar apps have permission to access the Webcam or Microphone.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.
