Itunes, Deselecting items

2014-01-23 Thread Marc Sutton
Hello Listers, If you have Itunes set to only sync selected albums, playlists, songs, etc., there is a mix of checked check boxes. Does anyone have a method for either resetting them all to unchecked so you can choose new albums, for example, or to find which ones are checked without having to b

Hi Gordon, As John and others have suggested, you should check whether this behavior is present only for your account, or for other logins. That will determined whether it is a user account specific plist file that has been corrupted. Other things you can try are checking whether this behavio

Hi eileens The problem is software, not hardware. The space bar works fine when used with a modifier key. It is a preference froblem of some kind I believe. Kind Regards Gordon Smith Information Technology Accessibility consultant Providing Support For Young People Living With Sight Los

Hi John Yes, I'm sure it is a preference problem of some kind. I did look under the shortcuts tab this morning but didn't spot anything obvious. But I'll go and look again to see whether I can set back to defaults. As you quite rightly suggest, that would certainly be a good place to star

Thanks Josh. I will investigate this. Meanwhile, I don’t know if my other question got lost in the more lengthy message I sent. Does anyone know if it is possible to determine the original location for a file in the trash? On Jan 22, 2014, at 6:10 PM, Josh Gregory wrote: You can use an app

Hi Gordon, This is a simple solution, but maybe sometype of foreign partical has gotten into the spacebar. What about using some compressed air to see if you can clean it out before taking more drastic measures. There are times that my Mac Air keyboard needs me to press a keystroke twice befor

sometimes keys get stuck. I don't know if this is your problem, but sometimes the option or shift key acts like its being held down and the solution i have found is to repeatedly press the key - like a flurry of rapid keystrokes hoping to unstick the key. It works more times than not. I have not

Gordon, I would go to system preferences keyboard then shortcut tab and set to defaults. If the above doesn't work try to look for a .plist file to delete which might also set to defaults. Which ior where that is have no clue. John On Jan 23, 2014, at 12:27 AM, Gordon Smith wrote: > Hello

Reinstalling the OS is a bit overkill in my opinion. I'd not go that route just quite yet. Maybe as a last resort, but I'd like to see if the list, as well as myself can help 'em get this solved some other way before going to that extreme, should it be possible. Chris. - Original Messag

Gordon, Another thing to try that I didn't think of doing justa second ago is, try creating another user on your system if you can get that far without going insane! Then log out of your normal user and into the test user account. then see if it continues. This'll let us know if it's system

What! the Heck? Bizarre! Totally, bizarre! Have you tried another keyboard just to see if maybe you got yourself a sticky spacebar? Yeah, I know, it's not likely, I agree, and yeah, I'm sure knowing you, you probably already thought to try that, but hey, it's a suggestion, none the less.

Gordon, I hesitate to suggest anything as I tend to think you will probably have investigated what follows. Do you have an application or way of testing which applications are running and if so, if you close anything you can, do you still have the issue with the spacebar? I was also wondering if
