OS X Mountain Lion :: How To Make Enter Key Appear As Return Key To Applications
Sep 3, 2014
In Microsoft Outlook 2011, hitting "Enter" (the tall, vertical, right-most bottom corner button on my numeric keypad) sometimes (but not always) causes an email to be sent, when I wasn't done typing and simply wanted to do a Return. I want to make sure this never happens again, but I'd like the option of hitting the Enter key to go to the next line - can I somehow redefine the Enter key at the OS level so that pressing it always sends a "Return" code to any software (such as Outlook)?

There are few things I miss from Windows, but one thing is the way you open files. Is there a way, in Tiger, to be able to open files by just hitting return/enter, instead of [Command]+[Down]?

Having this camera on my Mac, I am wondering if there is a program or reliable app that will make it into a video camera. I wanted to see if anyone enters my room at night while I am at work. Is there a program or app out there, one that is reliable?

For the past two weeks I've been having some major issues backing up my computer with Time Machine. It's become quite a process.Â
iMac 27", Mountain LionÂ
I am backing up to a brand new - well bought in February, '14 - 1TB external hard drive and there is NOTHING else in there except the TM backups.Â
For the past two weeks it's been failing the automatic backups. There is PLENTY of room on the drive.Â
The exact error message reads:"Time Machine ErrorUnable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folderLatest successful backup: [time and day entered here]"Â
To remedy this at first it was as easy as un-mounting the drive and then plugging it back in and it was fine.
Now I've got the disk utility open and constantly repairing the drive and this is only a temporary solution.Â
Below is a small sample of the report from the utility each one is dated.
How to fix this without having to purchase a new drive? In February the old external drive I had started to freak TM out and it just erased ALL my backups which I desperately needed due to the same error / failure. That drive had plenty of space as well but I lost all my stuff anyway.Â
I know the TM isn't for archiving and another question I have is, How can I transfer or even rename the backup folder that TM makes and move it to a 'free drive' to prevent overwriting? Right now I just keep buying new drives which is ridiculous.

I have a problem with my iMac which is running OSX 10.8.5. I think the easiest way to explain this would be to just give a simple example. For example let's say I have Excel and Word both open. I shut them both down. Then I completely shut down my computer. Power off. I go to bed. Next morning I boot up and guess what? Word and Excel are now running again, just as if I had never shut them them down.

There is probably a very simple answer to this - but I can't find it! Everytime I start up my imac, a couple of tedious applications that take a long time have to open then I have to close them to get on with what I want to do.
How do I stop these loading automatically?

how to remove a list (be it a numbered list or a bulletted list) from Mail?I know how to stop the numbering (hit return twice) but to remove the list entirely... no idea! I've tried reducing indent etc. but without success. Control shift return simply adds a carriage return without reducing the indent. I've searched on-line and in the forums but with no success.

I have a new install of Mac 10.7.4 on a 21" iMac. I have the iMac set to automatically log out after 14 minutes of idle time. On many occasions when the logout is triggerd, the user account will log out, but the screen does not display the login window, it still shows an image of the last state of when the computer was logged in. When I move the mouse, the screen acts as if it's erasing the pixels off the screen, showing bits and pieces of the login screen in the background. If I type a user ID and password, a small area clears around the login fields so I can see the fields and log in.Â
This was originally happening when a screen saver was enabled, I have since removed the screen saver. This did not make a difference.Â
I have the Preference Pane>Security>Advanced set to log out at 14 minutes and the Preference Pane>Energy Saver>Display Sleep set to go black at 15 minutes.Â
I have tried various different times/settings, but have not been able to fix this.Â
Since this configuration is for a Lab setting, I really need for the computer to log out cleanly and go back to the login screen.Â

I'm using Time Machine to backup my computer, and the backup is going fine. But when I try to enter Time Machine to go back and look for a file from a few months ago, the program will not open at all. I click on the icon and nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas as to why I cannot enter Time Machine at all? P.S. This i a Macbook Pro mid-2010 with OS X Lion 10.7.3.

I cannot enter Time Machine—The backups are being created and I can manually navigate through the backup, but it simply will not load. I am running the 10.7.4 on a 2010 27" iMac.Â
I've tried everything that Pondini recommends including deleting finder.plist, disconnecting second monitor, resetting Time Machine from scratch, entering with Mail.app or Address Book as the foreground app, deselecting Time Machine drive, using a directly-connected USB drive instead of a network share, and starting Time Machine from another user account. I do not have a virus scanner or a Finder replacement.Â
Notes:I have symlinked a few folders in my home directory to another drive: Pictures being the important one. I've tried using a straight folder in each case.I do have a lot of apps running, notably: Viscosity, Alfred, Growl, Dropbox, Sparkleshare (though that is a recent addition)Perhaps the most important note: I replaced my iMac's optical drive with an SSD, which I am using as my system drive. The original 1TB drive is mounted elsewhere. I installed a fresh copy of Lion onto it.

So, I'm still new to the whole Mac OS X happening, just got my MacBook about three of weeks ago (very happy with it ^__^). But, there's this little problem. I'm now using Microsoft Office 2008, and I often use Page Breaks. Previously, on the windows computer I used, I could simply press ctrl + return to insert a page break, but this is not a standard shortcut in the Mac version.
My solution - or at least, I hoped it would be a solution - was to use a custom shortcut for Microsoft Word via the System Preferences. I would like to set it to either ctrl + return or cmd + return, but it doesn't work.. However, when I try a shortcut like ctrl + cmd + down - or really anything without the return key - it works just fine. So, here comes the actual question; Is there any way to incorporate the return key within the shortcut?
Ohh, and now another problem comes in mind, I've got this Video_TS dir on my HD from a dvd which I tried to open, but when it's opened it simply 'plays' the menu. So I'm unable to actually select the option from it, and it simply goes to other part - like chapter selection - afterwards.It also plays little bits of the files, hangs for while, and skips a bit, then repeats the cycle.
Anyone familiar with it? I use VLC Player Open Disk... with the Video_TS folder option.Ohh, and the files play fine on the windows pc next to me.. I realise this last question maybe should be in another topic, or has already been answered somewhere on the forum. But I did do a search for the first one, and couldn't find any information on it.

Have an old MBP. Just installed lion on it today. Previously, the computer had no password (at login, I would just hit enter so essentially the password was nothing). After installing Lion, that no longer works, and now I can't get into my computer.

I have a new MBP with MacOSX 10.7 I just set it up using the Migration Assistant. The old one was using MacOSX 10.5 with a Time Machine backup on an external USB drive. Everything went fine, restoring all from my Time Machine backup. But now, on the new MBP, I cannot enter in the old TM backup. I can browse it with the finder but not use it through the TM interface. If I chose the disk containing the old TM backup in the TM preference, TM starts a brand new backup. How do I have to proceed to continue using my old backup or almost be able to use it as a former one through the TM interface? Â
