Re: can't quit my aps

[Gordon Keen]

Hi

Have you tried a permissions repair in utilities - disc utility app?

This can often sort out problems like this.

I've had that happen my self. It's very odd and in my case I try to never add 
that key stroke. How ever accidents could and do happen. I thought how ever you 
could not assign that key stroke as it would give you an error?

Re: can't quit my aps

Have you, by any chance, been adding shortcuts in System Preferences then 
pressed Cmd-q to quit? You could, accidentally, have used Cmd-q for a different 
shortcut and this would prevent it from working normally. Check in the 
application menu that Quit is not dimmed.

Cheers,

Anne

I don't think it is the  keyboard then, because if that was damaged, it would 
not say what it does when you press it.

Re: can't quit my aps

[Cathy]

hi Josh,voice over says help menu search field interactive search.

if I press escape a few times I can sometimes get out of the search and back to 
mail or text edit.
maybe the Q on my keyboard is not working? but when I use keyboard help it will 
say Q.

no Zack,

I would admit it if that were true, but it is not. I can close a window with 
command W but then cannot quit.

If I didn't know better, I would swear you were pressing command W instead of 
Q. I have never seen anything like this, unfortunately.

can't quit my aps

[Cathy]

hello all,

weird problem. command Q is not working to close my apps, not any of my primary 
aps on the mac. when I press command Q I go into a interactive help screen. 
from there I can not get back to a mail message or a file in text edit. I can 
only quit the aps by using force quit. I have restarted the aps after a force 
quit  as well as restarted the Mac, but neither of these things has resolved 
the problem.
any ideas?
