My shift key does not work on my MacBook Pro
My shift key does not work on my MacBook Pro. Can I use capital letters but only if I click on change and it's annoying. When I click on the passage icon shift comes at the top right of my screen to show its on but when I click on the lock button nothing happens as it used to glow green when I clicked it. Before someone says go to the system preferences and go to the modifier keys and restore them or make sure caps lock shift is on lock shift, I've tried that already, I looked it upward and found nothing similar. Help ASAP would be appreciated because it is really annoying
Hello Gracepullan1,
I understand that shift key of your MacBook Pro does not respond as before. Fortunately the steps below can help to restore the functionality of the SHIFT key on your Mac.
- In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
- On the view menu, choose the speech.
- Click on the text to Speech tab.
- If "Text Speak selected when you press the button" is enabled, the key or combination of keys set to read the text cannot be used for other purposes, or used for typing text - click on set the key and replace it with a less commonly used key combination (try using the modifier such as SHIFT keys, command) Option and control). Or disable the option "Read the selected text when the key is pressed".
- Click the accessibility pane or universal access in system preferences, and then click the keyboard tab.
- Make sure the slow keys is off. With slow keys on, you must press a key for a longer period of time so he can be recognized.
- In the accessibility pane or universal access, click the mouse and make sure mouse keys is turned off. With the active mouse buttons, you cannot use the numeric keypad to enter numbers - instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to activate the MouseKeys to five presses down option, you can disable this option to avoid accidentally activate it.) If the mouse keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard without the numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Impossible to type while mouse keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
- If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard do not work as expected, see Mac OS x: how to change the behavior of the function keys.
- If the problem persists, use the keyboard Viewer to help isolate the problem:
- Click the component language & text (Mac OS X v10.6) or international (Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier) in system preferences.
- Click on the tab Input Sources (or tab Menu entry under Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier version).
- Click on the keyboard and the characters 'On' box Viewer checkbox to select (click on the viewer of keyboard "On" checkbox under Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
- In the entry menu (flag), choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

Satellite C660 - the SHIFT key does not work
Hello
I have a problem with a Satellite C660.
The keyboard, I cannot use the SHIFT key. After you have installed windows everything worked properly, the problem recurs after a few days. Practically the SHIFT key does not work.
On the one hand I'm the A and the other side works like ESC.Help me I'm crazy.
Thank you.Hello
To me that sounds more like a keyboard failure, I can't imagine that it could be linked to the question of the windows operating system do you have tested an external USB keyboard.
Please test this. In this case, you can check if it s really a software problem.
If the USB keyboard works correctly, it means that your internal keyboard is malfunctioning. -

OfficeJet 8500 a 910 scan does not work with my Macbook Pro Snow Leopard 10.6.8
OfficeJet 8500 a 910 scan does not work with my Macbook Pro Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I tried to reload of apple and HP. My drivers and software are up to date. I tried to scan from preview, Capture and print browser.
It worked finally.
Why doesn't HP have updated the drivers for a Macbook Pro 10.6.8 Snow Leopard? I couldn't find one for 10.5 or 10.6 Leopard. I tried everything I could find. I found a note on the edge of Disussion which suggested someone try a driver for another HP printer may be similar. I found if I used the full program for Macbook Pro 10.6 Leopard I could scan. The fax appeared to be installed via blue tooth. I have not faxed anything, but it has been tested during the installation of the program. Complete program of the HP I can't print. I loaded via Apple an another whick of printer HP Officejet 8500 A910 allows me to print. It is the only way that I could make use of my HP printer, scanner and fax. Crazy, but I think it works and I can put some scans and, hopefully, fax to my Macbook Pro. I appreciate the help. Please encourage the HP programs and drivers for my Macbook Pro Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Can anyone suggest the problem please /-question mark!
ABCDEFGHIjkllmnopQRSTuvwxyz - it seems to be the keys on the left side of the keyboard!Hello!
I think the best option would be if you connect an external keyboard and test it. You can connect it via USB.
If you have desktop, take the keyboard and test it on your laptop.If the external keyboard works, you need a new internal keyboard. New keyboards are not so expensive then contact ASP and ask for it. ;)
Good bye

I created a table by dragging default datacontrol vo, the multiple value RowSelection, override the SelectionListener a manageBean method as follows:
{} public void tableMakeCurrent (SelectionEvent selectionEvent)
RowKeySet rks = selectionEvent.getAddedSet ();
System.out.println (RKS. GetSize());
Iterator it = rks.iterator ();
{while (IT.hasNext ())}
System.out.println (IT. Next());
}
}

Is there a way to fix this? Thank you...
jdeveloper11.1.1.3for rowSelection multiple = to work with 'shift' you should not have the selectionListener or selectedrowkeys for your af:table

delete selectedrowkeys and ownership selectionListener in the table and you will get select using the 'shift '. -

Hey Mazin48
If you are using a desktop computer, the first thing to try is another keyboard and see if this fixes the problem
If a laptop try a usb keyboard
If that works for the laptop, contact the manufacturer of the laptop

My new lightroom cd will not work in a MacBook Pro.
I just purchased lightroom 3 and the cd does not work in a MacBook Pro. It says on the CD that it's Windows & Mac and I have checked Windows on a machine, and it works.
Any ideas?
See you soon
Johan
You really don't need the CD of installation anyway. The only thing you need is the serial number that comes with the drive. Just download the trial version and install it. Activate with serial number, which're you good to go. You may still download in order to have the latest version.
