I was wondering if there is a way to choose options using keyboard arrows. For example, when Finder asks me whether I want to open a downloaded file from the internet, and I want to say "No", I want to be able to press left and press enter and that'll be it. Instead, I have to use my mouse to click on No.
Is there a way to do this? I went to System Prefs, Keyboards, and clicked on All Controls, but that wasn't the solution.
the arrow keys don't scroll the pages instead they jump to and from highlighted text , how do i rectify this issue. this makes working kvery annoying

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7,
This seemed to have started all of a sudden - used to work fine.

Is there a reason why the keyboard short cuts for volume is adjusted with the VERTICAL arrows knowing that the volume bar is HORIZONTAL and that the next song shortcut is with HORIZONTAL arrows knowing that the song are listed VERTICALLY?
Although I've been using using iTunes since the very beginning, I just cannot get used to this reverse logic...I often use it "live" for parties and so scared to switch song instead of volume that I keep using the trackpad instead!

Does Apple sell the bluetooth wireless keyboard with the number pad and arrows? Its something that I overlooked when looking into buying a mac. I want the aluminum wireless keyboard, but I hate not having the number pad and arrows. I couldn't find one anywhere.

Randomly, when I change to another account (all are password protected), it will just instantly log me out, without even trying to close apps etc. - it literally takes it a second to log out, then I have to go back in and log in from scratch.

I'll be using this for photography and will need to use the built-in screen until I allocate funds for a better monitor like the NEC LCD2690WUXI2. I recently found this article http://www.fireandknowledge.org/arch...en-glare-free/ Can someone (who has tested this) confirm if this same technique will work on the new 21.5" iMac?

After working for several hours at the computer using Spaces quite heavily the black on-screen Space indicator remains atop and refuses to hide and stays there. Keyboard is entirely blocked apart from the assigned Space-switching keys. Mouse is working fine all the way, tho. Only restarting the dock seems to solve this problem which comes back relatively quickly thereafter. Keyboard strokes are being registered the whole time (via Keyboard Viewer) but the input is being ignored unless the Spaces indicator is gone aka the dock is killed and restarted.

So I'm sharing a PC keyboard between my mini and my PC, and I have my mini plugged into my TV and a computer display. When I use the display I need to have mirroring turned on and when I'm using the TV I turn it off so it goes back to the TV resolution.
Is there a shortcut or an app that I can use to toggle the modes from the keyboard rather than what I'm doing at the moment, which is jumping on my ipad and VNCing in so I can turn the mirroring on? I'd seen cmd-F1 mentioned, but it doesn't do anything for me.
Somehow my keyboard shortcuts got switched, and the dashboard shortcut is now assigned to the F12 key. It says that in order to switch a keyboard shortcut, just double click and hold down the new shortcut key, but that's not working!

However I mainly typing using an external fullsize Apple Japanese Keyboard that I perchased from the Japan Apple Store.
One issue I'm having is switching betwen windows in the same program.
On US keyboards, the command is COMMAND + `
However this does not work on the Japanese model, as the ` key is actually on the same key as @, and requires pressing shift, breaking the shortcut.
Does anyone know the Japanese shortcut to change between windows in the same program?

Just purchased a new iMac that came with a wireless keyboard. When I am working on accounting documents, I wish to use a numeric keyboard. The apple numeric keyboard I purchased does not seem to always work when I turn on my computer. It seems to only want to pick up the bluetooth keyboard. I have tried disconnecting the bluetooth keyboard but then it says "no keyboard found" even though I have the numeric keyboard plugged into the USB.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI got my refurbed 2.4 unibody MB less than 2 weeks ago and just took it to the Apple Store because the very far right side of my spacebar stopped working, and I had a few slanted keys in various places on the keyboard too. The genius at the store told me they needed to replace the top case (metal chassis w/keyboard & trackpad built-in?) and it would take 3-5 days.Anybody else had problems with slanted keys OTHER than the function row? Anybody else had a top case replacement for this or other reasons?I'm nervous that I'm going to get my MB back and the new top case will be installed crooked or worse than the old one. Or the hard drive will be wiped and I'll have to re-install all my programs and iTunes/iPhoto libraries. I was loving the MB, with the spacebar failure being the only real problem... worried it's going to come back more messed up than it was. Am I just being paranoid?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have to say that switching to Lion has not been the joy I was led to believe. One of the most annoying of the many annoying quirks of Lion is that the right hand Scroll Bar no longer has Up/Down arrows, just a stupid and hard to see gray bar of varying length, and controlling it is a nightmare. Does anyone know anything about how to add Up/Down arrows to the scroll bars? Is there some setting. Apple, if you're listening, please restore this essential function to your OS. The lack of Up/Down arrows in the scroll bar makes Lion more like an alley cat.
