How come the arrow keys don’t work for moving and rotating in the os x version of blender?
[sarcasm]I dunno. Maybe your computer just sucks.[/sarcasm]
Ok, please give the specifics, what kind of mac are you using. I think I know your problem. The problem is the Macs are crap and the only solution is to buy a PeeCee. Nuff said.
umm…

Take your attitude and poorly-formed opinion to ZDnet where some other loser cares about whether your XP only crashes once a day less than theirs. Obviously blender’s developers gave enough credit to a Mac to develop for it, so your opinion in this regard is irrelevant. Thank you for shutting up now.
Now to the important part, which is actually offering help rather than some typical worthless comment from someone too stupid enough to get a real computer it’s a wonder they know how to use blender.
I noticed that in OSX, but I have also noticed you need to hold down the command key to do some things you otherwise don’t need to hold a key down for in Windoze or Linux. It may well be a hardware issue, similar to when arrow keys first appeared on a keyboard and not all Windows programs took advantage of the key events associated with them. I’d say try holding down the command key at the same time and see if that works. I’m not at my Mac right now or I’d try more out.

Well I never liked mac’s at all until I discovered OS X. It’s an 500 iBook 2 with OS X 10.15
As for PC’s well… I’ve only crashed OS X twice in the last six months!! When was the last time your computer crashed??

No, holding down the command key doesn’t enable the arror keys. But I’m not to fussed anymore, cause I found out on another forum that if you press the nKEY then you can just type in the rotation scaling amount

I know, I used to be all MS for years (I’ve used every OS they’ve ever put out except Minix and XP), then switched to Linux in 1997 and haven’t crashed once. Then, my bro and his gf had Macs and were doing cool stuff, then my wife had always loved Macs. Now I work on a Mac and neither my bro, nor his gf, nor my wife (who opens multiple 100+ MB files into PhotoShop while ripping a CD to mp3s during multiple system auto updates – ALL AT ONCE!!) nor I have ever had a Mac crash. Compare that to any Windows machine. I haven’t found one yet that has never crashed at least once. 
I thought from your original post you wanted to use the arrow keys, but if you only want to move or rotate, why not just use the mouse? It moves it in the same increments as the arrow keys… Maybe it’s something with the iBook arrow keys. I have a notebook that the arrow keys don’t work right on. I use the nKEY all the time in the IPO window, so I’m not discouraging its use, just wondering.
What’s the URL of that other forum? Do they have a lot of OS X tips?
What’s that? Sorry, I choose to ignore n00bs most of the times because their opinion, and in this case yours does not count. Now, all n00bs shall bow down and worship me because you are not worthy of my awesome power. Yes, that’s it, grovel.
Greetings comrades,
We are also experiencing the ibook arrow problem, here, where we use blender on OSX Irix Win2k and FreeBSD. The OSX ibook displays the most buggy behavior of all these platforms, but it networks so easily that I forgive it. Would be nice to have them arrows, though. Seems like the screen redraw is a bit clogged as well. Any workarounds/tips? The URL of that other forum would be helpful as well. Emphasis on helpful. Thanks!
