Some shortcuts to start not working not

I'm running Mac OS X 10.9.5 on an old PowerMac 3.1 with 24 GB RAM. I have an external drive on FireWire with a Carbon Copy Cloner system disk bootable backup, and Apple's Bluetooth keyboard.

I used the disk on the main system disk utility to check the Bootable backup is OK. I shut down the system and remove the power supply plug to reset the EMC. I restarted pressing Cmd-Opt-P-R to reset the PRAM.

Hold down the Option key during the restart button does NOT units of disk Bootable: there is ignored and domestic boots on the system disk.

Any ideas?

Now hold the SHIFT key when you restart does NOT start in safe mode.

Any ideas?

If I start the internal system drive and it allows to change the startup disk disk external bootable, then the disc external hard boots. If I run the disk on the disk utility to repair the system internal, disk utility disk fails, saying that he cannot repair a live disk. She also can't remove.

The only thing I can think is that some of the startup tasks are run from the internal disk drive.

Any ideas?

Fortunately, the disc seems to be OK.

Have you tried to use a wired Apple keyboard at startup? It is possible that the problem with modifier keys not recognized restart of the system is that the wireless keyboard is not recognized at the beginning of the startup procedure.

I keep an old Apple keyboard around this type of situation, because the keyboard connected via my KVM is not seen early in the boot process.

FWIW, it seems that you do not have a PowerMac, but rather a Mac Pro.

  • Network of shortcuts without "start in:" set of path does not work in Windows 7

    Well, here is the current situation.  I have network drives with shortcuts that point to another server mapped.

    With a XP machine, shortcuts work fine and open as usual.  In the properties box, the target domain is filled by the full path to the target file, and the start in field is empty.

    With a Windows 7 machine, shortcut icon is only a blank white page icon, and if you open properties, the target field and the field "start in" are empty and do no editing for each field.  Double click on the shortcut results in nothing happens at all.

    I can go to the same short cut on the XP machine and fill it "start in:" field in the properties of the shortcut and it instantly starts to work under Windows 7.  The problem with that is, we have a lot of shortcuts all probably created by the XP machines on these mapped drives.

    Of course, XP has no problem with the start in the field being blank, y at - it a way to make that not required by Windows 7 to the shortcut work?  A change of setting or registry maybe?

    Thank you

  • I use iMessage to the text of my Macbook. For some reason, it will not let me send a text message to a particular group (everyone has iMessage/iPhones) to my computer, but works well on my iPhone. All messages always appear on my Macbook iMessa

    I use iMessage to the text of my Macbook. For some reason, it will not let me send a text message to a particular group (everyone has iMessage/iPhones) to my computer, but works well on my iPhone. All messages always appear on my Macbook iMessage, but when I click in the conversation, no text box for me to write as he does with everyone. It's driving me crazy. How should I do? The two contacts are in my address book and identified on my computer but I can't their message from my computer and have to keep spending on my phone to text their return. Their new messages are always also highlighted on my computer. In the photo I've included, you can see there is no text box for the text of the group with "Franny, dad."

    Thanks for any help!

    What happens if you start a new conversation with Franny & Dad from the IOW computer do not try to "catch" the conversation

    Click on new message and put their names in there

  • Shortcut keys does not work on Satellite L755-18Z - Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello world

    I'm trying to start an application by pressing a combination of shortcut keys assigned, but nothing happens.
    Maybe it has something to do with some of the TOSHIBA utilities installed on the laptop?

    Hmmmm... custom application? You know that Toshiba doesn't support third party software?

    Sorry, but I think that no one here can help you. If you have problems with Toshiba related things, we can chat about it, but the use of some custom applications can not be supported.
    We don t know what you use on your laptop.

    I recently acquired this laptop and I installed win7 64-bit teacher. The first problem was that the wireless card has not been installed, but I go to the Toshiba website and download the new one, next to this i can not activate the map with the fn + f8 key, it's the only way to activate the card.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Hmm. Win 7 drivers are not yet out, but I found some beta readers on the Toshiba page we:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    Maybe you will find some Win 7 drivers for series L500/505

    Otherwise I would recommend you to check if you can activate the WLan in Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab Wlan card

    There are a few additional options, that maybe the WiFi we / off would be there also.

  • PROTECTED R830 - shortcut keys do not work to help to win 8

    Hello!

    I have a protected R830-10R with Windows 8 Professional (64-bit) installed.

    As it is has no drivers for Windows 8, I installed Windows 7 (64-bit) drivers.

    The problem is, my shortcut keys don't work (FN + X) and it is the only function of Toshiba, I can't live without.

    How can I solve my problem? And what other drivers do you recommend?

    Thank you.

    > How can I solve my problem? And what other drivers do you recommend?

    You will need the Toshiba Value added Package and the utility support flash card to win 8
    But as you said, this software is not available for win 8, so you wait for this software.

    However, I chose the VAP and Support of Flash Card Utility for L500

  • Satellite A135-s2326 - shortcut keys do not work after installing XP

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A135-s2326

    I kill Vista and installed Xp on it, but the shortcut keys do not work now.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Do you mean the FN button functionality?

    Well buddy, the question is clear like a Crystal, the buttons FN don t work after the Win XP because the necessary drivers have not been installed.

    But first he must know that it is a series of models Toshiba us.
    I checked the Toshiba page us and unfortunately, I didn't find any Win XP tools or drivers for this model of laptop.

    It seems that you will have to use the laptop without the functionality of the FN button if you want to use Win XP. :(
