MacBook Pro :: Cannot Invert My Screen Using Ctrl+Alt+Cmd+8 Shortcut
Jun 12, 2012
I checked Universal Access and the Zoom and VoiceOver features have shortcuts written next to themin bold black writing where as the shortcut next to Inverted Colours is greyed out. I have been using it for a year now and this is the first time it has greyed out and not letting me change the colours using the shortcut.I can still change it using the radio buttons in Universal Access but shortcut was much easier. I am using Snow Leapord on a 15.4 inch early 2011 model of Macbook Pro. I dont know if this has any relevance but the last time it worked was just before I updated the Blackberry Desktop Manager.
I just noticed... I can't seem to switch between spaces anymore by pressing control-1, control-2, control-3 and control-4.
Usually I had it setup that my email at work was open on 4, web up on 1, chat on 2, and 3 was my "hey, I wasn't fooling around" blank desktop. Has anyone else noticed it stopped working? (might have been when I upgraded from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6?)
I checked in the spaces config, I just saw the settings to use the arrow keys with the control, option, or apple keys.
I have a problem with scrolling using the trackpad. It is somehow inverted: when I scroll down, the page moves down (so it follows the content, just like the iPhone). But I want to have it back the way it was. Is that possible?
I'm new on the mac world. I search a software or a setting to invert all axis of mouse. For example the mouse go down and the arrow go up Sorry for my english i'm italian. P.S An example of a windows solution is: [URL:....]
As in taking a picture where something in the pic points to the right and flipping it so that it points left? I've been trying and can't seem to find out how to do it. On other programs, this is a basic option.
It used to work for me when i press a combination of Ctrl+F2 to activate the menu bar, now it doesn't work anymore, even if i try a further key: Fn+Ctrl+F2.
I cannot find the "Invert" picture color command in the new Powerpoint 2011. It used to be in the picture format section of the now gone "Formatting Palette" of Powerpoint 2008. Does anyone know if the command still exists and if so where is it?
Does OSX has a keyboard shortcut as linux (CTRL ALT L) to lock the screen? Unfortunately, OSX doesn't require password to return after a display sleep. It only requests password after sleep. I need a keyboard shortcut to solve this problem or a screensaver with sleep display function.
Is there a shortcut in Mac OS X that resizes two or more open windows automatically so that each window is shown on the screen simultaneously? For example, I want to have a safari window open and a word document open so that one half of the screen is showing safari and the other half is word. I know I can resize them manually but I was wondering if there is a shortcut or a third party utility that resizes any open windows to fit the entire screen? This would be useful, for example, with the new 27 inch iMacs where the wide screen can easily display three (or more) windows side by side utilizing the entire screen area; having them resized automatically would be more productive than having to resize them manually.
I am really liking QuickView-ing.. couldn't preview .css but oh well. But my question is, does anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut to go into full screen mode?
which FTP clients allow for the simplest, most streamlined upload capabilities. I want to press a single button (or shortcut) and have all the files in the local directory sync'd to the remote directory. I don't want to be bothered by any confirmations.I'm currently using forklift and the confirmation dialog is really irritating me. When I'm making multiple, small color tweaks in Photoshop >saving them out as jpegs> then uploading with an ftp client every second added to the loop greatly increases the time it takes me to complete my work. I want to just switch to the ftp client, press a single button, then move on to the next app in my workflow.
when using apps in full screen mode the spotlight shortcut cmd+space doesn't work anymore.
E.g. safari in fullscreen mode, I tap cmd+space and nothing happens, if I move the mouse on top of the screen the bar appears and cmd+space is restored
I have a unibody Macbook Pro and using windows 7 via bootcamp. The problem is that macbook doesn't have full windows keyboard and I need the right side "ctrl" key. Is there a way to create such kind of button?
I just got a macbook pro 15.4 with 10.6.4 or updated OS. The ctrl+F2 (move focus to top drop down menus such as file, edt, etc) doesn't work. History: Loaded everything, updated software and then noticed it didn't work. Called mac, went back and forth, in the end they said do a reinstall.
I recently installed a program called ' VM Ware Fusion which is basically like ' parallels '. I got everything to work except it tells me to restart in order for things to take place. Once i restart it asks ' press Ctrl-Alt-Delete ' to begin.
I have a mac key board and only Control and alt is on it, not DEL.
i don't have an external pc key board is there anything I can do ?
Right now I'm running a MBP out to a larger cinema display and I purchased an HP wireless keyboard that I really like. I've been able to use System Preferences to swap the Option and Command keys, but I'm having trouble swapping the Ctrl and Fn keys. Do I need a 3rd party app for this?
I recently bought myself a Macbook Pro 13-inch model and I've been loving it so far. One thing that really bugs me is how bad the menu navigation is in OS X. I just read this on Macrumors and the only way to access menu from keyboard is by using ctrl+F2 key for which I have to press ctrl+fn+f2 key since F2 is a secondary function. Also, there is no way of going directly to the middle of the menu by keyboard shortcuts, right? If that is true, Mac OS X is still not polished enough for laptops. is there are a better way to control the menu items?
Moving to my new MacBook Pro, it appears I have lost the ability to setup external monitors with a single keystroke. Is there a way I can restore this? Perhaps setting F7 to this when using the Function key?
Just installed windows 7 on my MacBook air (older one) The only way I can now sign in is through the the on screen keyboard - On XP you could simulate ctrl alt del with fn control option command and delete. Anyone know the key combination on windows 7?
